Exhibits
Exhibit 15
Description:
KIND AM ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE EXHIBIT

THE EMERGENCY KIND AM TOWER IS THE LICENSED TOWER FOR KIND-FM AND KBIK (FM). ACCESS ONTO THE TOWER IS RESTRICTED BY A FENCE AND LOCKED GATE. THE FENCE IS THREE METERS FROM THE TOWER AT IT'S CLOSEST POINT. ACCESS INTO THE RURAL SITE IS RESTRICTED BY LOCKED GATE, WHICH BLOCKS THE ACCESS ROAD. THE EMERGENCY KIND AM OPERATION FROM THE TOWER WILL BE WITHIN FCC GUIDELINES.

Attachment 15


Exhibit 16
Description:
KIND AM EMERGENCY SITE REQUEST DETAIL EXHIBIT

MY TOWN MEDIA INC. HAS LOST ACCESS TO THE LICENSED KIND AM TOWER. THE LAND OWNER HAS ALREADY TAKEN THE TOWER DOWN. MY TOWN MEDIA IS REQUESTING EMERGENCY STA USE OF THEIR EXISTING FM TOWER, LICENSED FOR KIND-FM AND KBIK. SOMETIME IN THE PAST, THE FM TOWER MUST HAVE BEEN USED FOR EMERGENCY AM OPERATION.   GROUND RADIALS WERE FOUND INSTALLED AROUND THE TOWER. THE PROPOSED STA TOWER IS GROUNDED, SO IT WILL BE SHUNT FED FOR AM USE. COVERAGE FOR KIND AM WILL BE DECREASED, BUT APPROVAL OF THE STA WILL ALLOW THE STATION TO RETURN TO OPERATION, SERVING THE CITY OF INDEPENDENCE AND MONTGOMERY COUNTY KANSAS. MY TOWN MEDIA IS ALREADY MAKING AN ACTIVE SEARCH FOR A NEW KIND AM TOWER SITE.
