International Broadcasting Corporation v. Federal Communications Commission, Ktbs, Inc., Intervenor
U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit
International Broadcasting Corporation v. Federal Communications Commission, Ktbs, Inc., Intervenor, 237 F.2d 205 (D.C. Cir. 1956)
International Broadcasting Corporation v. Federal Communications Commission, Ktbs, Inc., Intervenor
Opinion
Appellant and intervenor are mutually exclusive applicants for a television license in Shreveport, Louisiana. After comparative hearing, the .Commission concluded the applicants were equal “in most respects,” and based the award to intervenor on its “clear superiority” in two areas: management-ownership integration, and diversification of control of the media of mass communication.
Appellant contends we should reverse the award because the Commission committed procedural errors amounting to a denial of due process and because it decided incorrectly on the merits. We find no denial of due process, nor can we say that the award was unsupported by substantial evidence in the record.
Affirmed.
