In the R&O in MM Docket 8541, the Commission noted that the existing procedures requiring competing expressions of interest allowed for abuse because third parties could express interest merely to block competition.  X}4Therefore, as noted in R&O in Docket 8541, while opening Channel 23 to competing applications is theoretically possible, it is not compelled by the Act or our policies, nor is it viable. As noted, experience has shown that the petitioner requesting this proposal would withdraw it if subjected to the possibility of competing expressions of interest for either channel, resources would be wasted and no improvement in service would result from the proposal. Accordingly, we determine that it is appropriate to grant the proposal as filed.     X4 14. ` ` With respect to the comments made by parties in opposition regarding alleged misrepresentations made by petitioner, all of the instances cited are taken out of context and have no documentation to verify them. We therefore consider them to be speculative and without merit. With respect to the allegation that public money was used to operate Station WNEQTV, any issue of reimbursement will be addressed at the time the station is actually sold, and the licensee will be required to declare and reimburse any grant money received for the benefit of the station at the time of sale. We do note, however, that petitioner has stated that all government funds it received were used to benefit Station WNEDTV and that it did not receive or use any government money exclusively to build or operate Station WNEQTV.  X415. ` ` This action does not remove or add any channel, nor alter the total number of channels in Buffalo which are reserved for noncommercial educational use. No technical changes are involved in this exchange of channel reservation. This modification merely changes the reservation for noncommercial educational use from one channel to another, both"!~,-(-(ZZf " in the Television Table of Allotments and in the DTV Table of Allotments The exchange therefore, can be made at each station's current site.
