         COMMISSIONER QUELLO TO RECEIVE LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

     FCC Commissioner James H. Quello will receive the Community Broadcaster
Association's Lifetime Achievement Award at the CBA convention on Monday, November 7.

     The award will be presented by CBA president Jud Colley at a luncheon ceremony.
     
     The CBA praised Commissioner Quello for promoting regulation favoring the community
benefits offered by community television stations, calling him "a steadfast and fair-minded friend
of the industry."

     Commissioner Quello was appointed to the FCC in 1974 by President Nixon.  He is
currently in his fourth term at the Commission and in 1993 served as its Chairman.
