    FCC influence controversy surrounding channel 8 allocation

    Opponents of moving channel 8 from Peoria to the Quad Cities argued that political influence connected to an FCC-related matter may have affected the allocation decision. The controversy led to court review and delayed the broader licensing process; it concerned the allocation proceedings rather than misconduct by WQAD after launch.
