okay, commissioner cleaveland? >> just one thing i know that we have not discussed at commission level regarding staffing requirements at station 49. there has been a lot of back and forth and i think it might be useful to have that issue aired at the commission level. so i would like to see that issue brought to the commission. >> at the very next meeting? >> i think it's an issue to be resolved. >> all right. that sounds good to me. anything else? all right. thank you all very much. this is going to be an informative meeting. all right. well, i would like to thank everyone for coming, and i would like to thank everyone for their input and generosity of talent and time. this meeting is hereby adjourned.
