Fox Television Stations, Inc. filed an application seeking renewal of its license for WWOR- TV, Secaucus, New Jersey, on February 1, 2007. Petitions to deny that application were filed by Voice for New Jersey and by the Office of Communication of United Church of Christ, Inc. and Rainbow/Push Coalition. The petitioners contend WWOR-TV has failed to provide a program service and adequately meet the needs of its Northern New Jersey viewers. The licensee disputes the claim that WWOR-TV’s programming efforts have fallen short of its public interest obligation. The Media Bureau has not reached a determination with respect to these claims and has decided to hold a local, public forum in which the public and other interested parties can express their views and concerns on this matter. Such public input will assist the Commission in resolving the matters at issue in this proceeding. The hearing date, time, and location are as follows: Date: Wednesday, November 28, 2007 Time: Location: 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. Paul Robeson Campus Center Rutgers-Newark The University Club, 2nd Floor 350 Dr Martin Luther King Blvd. Newark, NJ 07102 http://robeson.rutgers.edu/ Press inquiries should be directed to Mary Diamond, at 202-418-2388. -FCC-
