Channel 9

Channel 9 garding Segal might reasonably affect the basic and comparative qualifications of Mid-Florida. The court also said the commission must give further consideration to evaluation of Mid-Flo- rida's efforts to ascertain community interests, proposed programming, civic activities and of the proposed participation of black stockholders in Comint. Concerning Segal, Kraushaar said he agreed with the FCC Broadcast Bureau that there was no evidence of any deleterious effect on Mid-Florida's performance or the public interest from Segal's association with Harlan Blackburn, former Central Florida gambling boss. Even if Segal's character was proved to be bad, the judge said, he agreed with the bureau that the "record is barren of persuasive, convincing, clear proof that such alleged misbehavior was attributable, in any rational, logical, tiedin sense to the applicant, Mid-Flo- rida, in which he (Segal) never enjoyed anything but a relatively minor, insubstantial role in any event." Kraushaar said he was unable to conclude that Segal should be disqualified from holding a 1.5 percent interest in Mid-Florida. He noted that Segal is still a practicing attorney in Florida and has been for 40 years. Joseph L. Brechner, president, treasurer, director and majority stockholder of Mid-Florida, said: "We have had no doubt of the ultimate decision and have none now. It is unfortunate that this case - now the oldest in FCC history - became involved in circumstances that brought it back time and time again for review by the courts and the FCC. Mid-Florida will continue to press forward to its claim for a speedy final decision." Robert Lilley, a Central Nine secretary and board member, said his company would "very definitely" appeal, beginning with the FCC. David L. Nicholson, vice president and a director of TV-9 said his company too, would appeal. James C. Robinson, president of Comint, said the same. "The decision is not unexpected but we'd hoped after three or four times they would have overruled Mid-Florida," he said. Joel Phillips, a Florida Heartland stockholder, said his firm would appeal. Kraushaar's decision now goes to the FCC's Review Board, which will hear arguments before reaching its recommendation. Losing applicants can also appeal to the seven-member commission, which will have the final say, or back to the courts, which can order still more hearings. Until the case is resolved, the interim board will continue to operate the station. Kraushaar said he found nothing in the news programming proposed by any of the applicants to suggest significant differences. On other issues, he said, Mid-Florida was the best qualified. From 1-A
