Exhibits
Exhibit 1
Description:
JUSTIFICATION FOR SILENT STA

STATION KAVB WAS RECENTLY OPERATING PURSUANT TO SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY ('STA') FROM A SITE OTHER THAN ITS AUTHORIZED TRANSMITTER SITE. SEE BSTA-20081218ACY WHICH EXPIRED ON JUNE 22, 2009. AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED TO THE COMMISSION, ALMA VISION HISPANIC NETWORK, INC. SUSPENDED KAVB'S OPERATIONS ON JUNE 22, 2009, AND DID NOT SEEK TO EXTEND THE ENGINEERING STA BECAUSE IT PLANS TO RESUME OPERATIONS AT KAVB'S AUTHORIZED SITE AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE. HOWEVER, BECAUSE KAVB WILL NOT RESUME OPERATIONS WITHIN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE THAT ITS OPERATIONS WERE SUSPENDED, TEMPORARY SILENT AUTHORITY IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED. OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION, IT IS REQUESTED THAT KAVB BE GRANTED TEMPORARY SILENT AUTHORITY FOR A PERIOD OF SIX MONTHS.
