David E. MacKey v. United States of America and Federal Communications Commission, National Broadcasting Company, Inc., Intervenor
Opinion
David E. Mackey, permittee of UHF Station WOCN in Atlantic City, New Jersey, petitions for review of an order of the Federal Communications Commission which denied his request for rule making to amend the table of television channel assignments contained in 3.606(b) of the Rules and Regulations by shifting Channel 3 from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Atlantic City, thus making a VHF station available to the latter. He says the Commission acted arbitrarily and capriciously, and violated §§ 303(f), 303 (r) and 307(b) of the Communications Act of 1934 as amended, 47 U.S.C.A. §§ 303(f, r), 307(b), §§ 4(d) and 6(d) of the Administrative Procedure Act, 5 U.S.C.A. §§ 1003(d), 1005(d), and Commission Rules 1.701, 1.702 and 1.729.
We hold the Commission acted within its discretion. Coastal Bend Television Co. v. Federal Communications Commission, 1956, 98 U.S.App.D.C. 251, 255, 234 F.2d 686, 690.
Affirmed.
