36. The FCC is the license granting authority.

It decides who shall operate terrestrial radio stations for the next license term.

And it is fully within the FCC's wheelhouse to make a determination as to which applicant is best qualified to operate the station in the public interest.

This includes the determination that a previous licensee has NOT been so operating.
