JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST

SINCE THE LICENSEE, JAMES B. BLEIKAMP, ACQUIRED WCME(AM)IN 2009, HE HAS DILIGENTLY SOUGHT AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE AUTHORIZED TRANSMITTER SITE, AS THE AUTHORIZED SITE WAS NO LONGER AVAILABLE. BY THE FALL OF 2011, MR. BLEIKAMP WAS FINALLY ABLE TO SECURE ZONING APPROVAL FOR SUCH A SITE, AND HIS APPLICATION TO MOVE TO THAT SITE WAS FILED IN DECEMBER (FILE NO. 20111208DNV). A REQUEST FOR EXPEDITED ACTION ON THE APPLICATION WAS ALSO FILED (SEE ATTACHED).

ACCORDINGLY, THIS IS TO REQUEST EXTENSION OF THE LICENSEE'S EXISTING SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO REMAIN SILENT UNTIL APRIL 26, 2012, A YEAR FROM THE DATE THE STATION MOST RECENTLY WENT SILENT. THE LICENSEE FULLY INTENDS TO RETURN THE STATION TO THE AIR AS SOON AS HE IS AUTHORIZED TO DO SO.
