NEWSReport No. GN 95-11       GENERAL ACTION      November 20, 1995

               FCC GRANTS APPLICATIONS FOR REVIEW FILED BY 
                     CRYSTAL COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND 
                  CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY TELEVISION NETWORK

The FCC granted applications for review filed by Crystal Communications, Inc., and California
Community Television Network on November 13, 1995.  

The FCC reversed the Review Board's decision to add a site availability issue against Crystal
Communications, Inc. ("Crystal") and California Community Television Network ("CCTN"),
two of the three remaining applicants that are competing for a construction permit for a new
commercial FM station at Salinas, California.  The FCC found that in its petition to enlarge,
Villamil Radio, Inc. ("Villamil"), the other competing applicant,  failed to comply with the
requirements of section 1.229(d) of the Commission's rules and failed to demonstrate that the
local land use authority had already denied or likely would deny Crystal and CCTN zoning
approval.  Thus, the FCC concluded that the Review Boards's decision to add the site
availability issue  was  inconsistent with the Commission's rules  and established precedent.  
The FCC also remanded the proceeding to the Review Board to resolve basic qualification issues
that had been raised against Crystal and Villamil.

Action by the Commission November 9, 1995 by MO&O (FCC 95-459).  Chairman Hundt and
Commissioners Quello, Barrett, Ness and Chong.
