    FCC licensing proceeding connected to KAIT investigation

    An FCC administrative law judge ruled that George T. Hernreich should lose licenses for KFPW-TV and his separate station KAIT after an investigation into alleged bribery involving KAIT and ABC. The FCC later found Hernreich generally qualified to hold the KFPW-TV license, allowing the Fort Smith station to continue, while the separate KAIT renewal dispute proceeded through further appeals.
