  1. 1980

    Short-term renewal following FCC criticism

    The FCC granted only a one-year license renewal after finding that the station had been insufficiently candid about the nature of its local news programming. The decision followed the earlier representation and programming challenge.

  2. 1971

    Hispanic representation and programming license challenge

    Hispanic organizations challenged KGGM-TV's license renewal, alleging inadequate Hispanic employment and insufficient local public-affairs programming addressing Mexican American audiences. The matter proceeded to an FCC hearing and remained contested for several years.
