Report No. MM-837         MASS MEDIA ACTION                   June 15, 1994

      ROBY SCHOOL DISTRICT AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE ITFS FACILITIES TO
                            SERVE SNYDER, TX

     The Commission has granted the application of Roby
Consolidated Independent School District to operate a new 
Instructional Fixed Television Service (ITFS) facility on
Channels A1-A4 to serve Snyder, TX.  It denied the mutually
exclusive application of Highland Independent School District to
operate an ITFS facility to serve Roscoe, TX.

     The Commission found both applicants qualified to be
licensees and made its decision using the comparative process. 
The Commission found Highland was entitled to four points for
being local, three points for being accredited, two points for
observing the four-channel limitation, and one point for
proposing at least 21 hours of formal educational programming per
channel per week, for a total of ten points.  Roby was entitled
to four points for being local, three points for being
accredited, two points for observing the four-channel limitation
and two points for proposing at least 41 hours of formal
educational programming per channel per week, for a total of
eleven points.  Thus, the Commission selected Roby.

     Action by the Commission June 6, 1994, by Memorandum Opinion
and Order (FCC 94-142).  Chairman Hundt, Commissioners Quello and
Barrett, with Commissioners Ness and Chong not participating.
