Television applicants other than governments and schools are eligible to hold noncommercial

groups, professions, religious groups, schools, and government.  See Section  I, Question #3 and

the reserved channel television applicant must have at least four different elements of the community 
among its leadership.    
Mutually exclusive applications will be resolved by the Commission’s procedures for selecting among
