		Alliance claims first, that WQED solicited letters supporting the dereservation petition "under false pretenses," thereby misleading the Commission as to the level of community support.

	Current Online \| Text of FCC order on sale of WQEX
		WQED requests that its Channel *16 allotment be dereserved in order to permit commercial broadcasting on Channel 16 in Pittsburgh, and that it be permitted to assign WQEX(TV) to a commercial licensee and use the net proceeds to further WQED(TV)'s noncommercial broadcast operation.
		WQED further states that it is indebted to its permanently restricted endowment fund in the amount of $2.2 million for funds borrowed in fiscal 1993 to provide working capital, and $2.3 million for funds borrowed in April 1996 to repay a portion of the bank debt then due and payable.
		WQED also notes that some of programming on WQEX(TV) is not educational, that the two stations presently duplicate programming, and that the duplication will increase dramatically in the fall because of a reduction in its grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

	WQED Commentublic WQED Comment
		WQED's first two attempts to cash in its second public license were thwarted by CIPB Pittsburgh and it allies.
		In justifying its ruling, the FCC accepted as fact certain key representations by WQED that were not documented in any way, especially concerning the corporation's debt and the attitude of its funders.
		The FCC also cited WQED's argument that no major not-for-profit had offered to take over the license, a self-fulfilling prophecy since WQED CEO George Miles was on record as discouraging any such interest because it would not bring as much money as would a commercial bid.

	Current Online \| WQED seeks to sell reserved channel
		Pennsylvania legislators came to the aid of the station, which is carrying a $10 million bank debt from losses in recent years, and inserted the mandate in a major budget bill passed by Congress April 25 and signed into law by the President.
		WQED President George Miles says he'll probably file the request by June 1 and says it has "a good chance" of approval.
		WQED's fiscal desperation resembles the situation that may befall other public TV operators several years from now if the worst happens in Washington and more than $200 million in federal aid vanishes from the pubcasting economy before cost-saving measures and alternative revenues are in place.

	WQED Decision (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		A recent FCC decision granting applications which would result in the assignment of a non-commercial educational station on a reserved channel in Pittsburgh to a religious broadcaster has generated extensive editorial comment and letters from Congress to the FCC and to Congress from FCC Chairman William E. Kennard and from the National Religious Broadcasters.
		The decision, WQED PITTSBURG, "clarifies" the extent to which religious broadcasters may be deemed to comply with the "educational" purpose of such reserved channels.
		Although the Commission has historically accepted the representations of otherwise legally qualified applicants for reserved channels that their programming would be "educational" in nature, the FCC was troubled by the initial statement of Cornerstone that it "intends to shift the majority of its present (religious) programming to reserved Channel *16".

	Editorial: Onward, WQED
		That leaves WQED back where it was - without a buyer for WQEX and, as a nonprofit corporation, treading water.
		But those who truly want public television to thrive in Pittsburgh can't be diverted from the goal at hand: a way for WQED to get value for simulcast station WQEX and invest it in better broadcasting.
		WQED President George Miles, the station's board of directors and the WQED staff have made sacrifices to improve the financial picture and to do more with less.

		Some seem to think it will be cleared up when the ota scan gets the same 13-3 PSIP as the current mapped 13-3, and the mapped channel gets replaced by the scanned channel.
		I have an email of someone at WQED but I didn't want to give it out, because this contact has been so good about replying to me and explaining problems, or just shooting the breeze about the quality of service, etc. I don't want them to be flooded by emails from this forum.
