The FCC last Tuesday (Nov. 20) ordered WNET(TV) Newark, N.J. (New York City), to establish a presence in New Jersey with a full -time, fully- staffed, fully- equipped, studio. The Educational Broadcasting Corp., WNET'S licensee, has 30 days to comply with the FCC order. WNET, in its application for license renewal, had asked the commission for a waiver of its main studio rules. In 1961, the FCC allowed WNET to relocate its studio in New York because WNET claim- ed such a move would help it better serve its public. At last Tuesday's meeting, there was heated discussion -as at other meetings when WNET was the subject -on whether a single studio facility was needed to provide New Jersey citizens with a place to go ABC's Peter Jennings interviewing Ayatollah Khomeini in Qum, Iran. when they had an issue they wanted aired.
