Exhibits
Exhibit 34
Description:
CIRCUMSTANCES REQUIRING SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

TOWNSQUARE MEDIA SHREVEPORT LICENSE, LLC ('TOWNSQUARE'), THE LICENSEE OF KWKH(AM), SHREVEPORT, LA, FACILITY NO. 60266, RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY FOR KWKH TO OPERATE NONDIRECTIONALLY AND WITH REDUCED POWER AT NIGHT.

DUE TO PRIOR PROBLEMS WITH THE STATION'S UNDERGROUND CONTROL WIRING ASSOCIATED WITH ITS NIGHTTIME DIRECTIONAL FACILITIES, KWKH IS PRESENTLY OPERATING NONDIRECTIONALLY AT NIGHT, AT 12.5 KW. THE STATION IS STILL OPERATING AS LICENSED (50KW POWER) DURING DAYTIME HOURS.

KWKH'S UNDERGROUND CABLES HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT WORK AT NEARBY TOWNSQUARE STATION KEEL(AM) MUST BE COMPLETED BEFORE KWKH CAN BE RETUNED AND RESUME FULL-POWER OPERATIONS. FILTERS IN EACH OF KEEL'S SIX TOWERS PREVENT RERADIATION OF KWKH AND COMPONENTS IN THOSE FILTERS ARE IN THE PROCESS OF BEING REPLACED. TOWNSQUARE NEEDS TO RETUNE KEEL BEFORE KWKH CAN BE RETUNED.

AS SET FORTH IN TOWNSQUARE'S RECENTLY-GRANTED STA EXTENSION REQUEST FOR KEEL (BESTA-20110531AKG), UNFORESEEN ISSUES HAVE DELAYED WORK AT THE KEEL SITE. TOWNSQUARE WILL PROMPTLY NOTIFY THE COMMISSION WHEN BOTH STATIONS ARE ABLE TO RESUME LICENSED OPERATIONS AND WILL FILE ANY OTHER APPLICATIONS NECESSITATED BY THE STATIONS' RETUNES.
