Boundaries for the new Kcn- O-Sha Park elementary school also were approved, placing all territory cast of Eastern Ave. and south of 28th St. SE in the new district. Boundaries also were set for the Madison-Mor- ris primary units. Coldbrook School sixth grad- ers would be transferred to Coit School next year under other recommendations. Kensington tive vice president of the win ning company who will be gen eral manager of the station, said the fact that the FCC decision djd* not follow the recommen dation of its examiner, who had urged choice of Grand Broad casting Co., "is not unusual.” The decision will end the co operative operation of Channel 13 since Nov. 1, 1962, by West Michigan, Grand, MKO Broad casting Corp. and Peninsular Broadcasting Co. The change over will not mean any changes in the staff of nearly 60 persons, Dempsey said, bu^ in the six to eight months after West Michigan becomes sole operator efforts will be made to broaden the station’s scope, partipularly in the fields of nows and public affairs, including greater utili zation of local talent in a va riety of fields. Dempsey explained that the FCC selected West Michigan in part because its executives arc all area residents, familiar with and active in civic and com munity affairs; partly because of its extensive program of re search into the types of public service programs needed in the area, and partly on the grounds of his own wide experi ence in both commercial and educational television. Unanimous in Decision The commission voted 5 to 0 for the West Michigan selec tion, he said. One member was absent and one abstained. Extended hearings were held in Washington in the summer of 1962. The examiner’s report, recommending acceptance of the Grand case, was issued last May. Besides Dempsey, officials of West Michigan arc: Executive Committee chairman, L.
