Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The appellant and the intervenor each applied to the Federal Communications Commission for a construction permit for a television station in Petersburg, Virginia. After a comparative hearing the Commission denied the appellant’s application and granted the intervenor’s. We do not find that the Commission ignored factors that required consideration or acted arbitrarily in choosing between the applicants.

Affirmed.
