Abstract

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) has long considered 12 VHF channels incapable of providing an efficient television system. Its responsibilities to make UHF broadcasting competitive with VHF led it to seek authority from Congress to require that all receivers be equipped with UHF tuners. Having obtained this authority, the FCC turned to other concurrent activities which would lead to surmounting the technical and nonechnical problems encountered in UHF broadcasting. In particular, an industry advisory committee was formed in 1963 entitled, "Committee for the Full Development of All-Channel Broadcasting." This Committee makes recommendations to the FCC as to how, by amendment of its rules and policies, UHF broadcasting can become fully viable.
