Exhibits
Exhibit 38
Description:
REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF EXISTING SILENT STA

THIS REQUEST SEEKS AN EXTENSION OF THE CURRENT SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (STA) FOR KXET(AM), 1150 KHZ, PORTLAND, OREGON, TO REMAIN SILENT. THE CDBS SYSTEM WOULD NOT ALLOW US TO FILE THIS REQUEST AS AN 'EXTENSION' TO THE ORIGINALLY GRANTED STA, FILE NO. BLSTA-20111129FTC. IT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED THAT THIS REQUEST BE TREATED AS AN EXTENSION REQUEST, AND THAT SILENT STATUS PURSUANT TO FILE NO. BLSTA-20111129FTC BE PERMITTED TO CONTINUE UNTIL THIS REQUEST IS ACTED UPON.

IT IS THE LICENSEE'S CURRENT INTENTION TO RETURN KXET TO THE AIR PRIOR TO THE ONE-YEAR ANNIVERSARY DATE OF WHEN KXET WENT SILENT, WHICH WAS AUGUST 14, 2011.

AS OF THIS WRITING, LICENSEE HAS NOT FOUND AN ADEQUATE SITE TO RELOCATE THE TRANSMITTER SINCE THE CURRENT SITE IS LOCATED IN A HIGH CRIME AREA AND HAS BEEN VANDALIZED SEVERAL TIMES. LICENSEE HAS THEREFORE DETERMINED THE KXET OPERATION AT THE CURRENT SITE IS UNSUSTAINABLE. LICENSEE IS EXPLORING VARIOUS POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR RETURNING KXET TO THE AIR.

THE PUBLIC INTEREST, CONVENIENCE AND NECESSITY WOULD BE WELL SERVED BY A GRANT OF THIS STA REQUEST, WHICH WOULD PERMIT A HISPANIC-AMERICAN BROADCASTER TO CONTINUE TO OWN AND OPERATE AN AURAL BROADCAST STATION LICENSED TO PORTLAND, THE LARGEST CITY IN OREGON.
