How does ctiis lead to television programs? One of these regulatory agencies is the Federal Communi' cations Commission. It has rather broad—and, in some respects vague._authority to assign the available radio aod television frequencies for both commercial and noncommercial operations and to pass on the qualifications of i*hviduab and corporations desiring to operate stations. These operators do not receive a perpetual claim on their channels, which are held to belong to the people, and their licenses come up for renewal at stated intervals.
