Exhibits
Exhibit 1
Description: PURPOSE FOR STA

KZWF HAS SUSPENDED ON-AIR OPERATIONS AS A RESULT OF TECHNICAL DIFFICULTIES EXPERIENCED BY THE STATION, NAMELY THE POTENTIAL FOR LOCALIZED RECEPTION INTERFERENCE IN THE VICINITY OF THE TRANSMITTER SITE. MORE IMPORTANTLY, HOWEVER, THE STATION HAS SUSPENDED OPERATIONS IN ORDER TO FACILITATE THE MODIFICATION OF THE STATION'S FACILITIES APPROVED RECENTLY BY THE FCC. ON OCTOBER 29, 2009, THE FCC GRANTED A CONSTRUCTION PERMIT AUTHORIZING THE MINOR MODIFICATION OF THE LICENSED FACILITIES OF KZWF IN ORDER TO PERMIT THE STATION TO RELOCATE ITS TRANSMITTER SITE TO A NEW TOWER, INCREASE ITS ANTENNA HEIGHT, AND INCREASE ITS EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER. IN THIS MANNER, THE STATION WILL GREATLY IMPROVE ITS SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY. TO EFFECTUATE THIS CHANGE, THE STATION WILL BE DISMANTLED AND REBUILT AT THE NEW LOCATION ONCE THE NEW TOWER IS CONSTRUCTED. ACCORDINGLY, APPROVAL OF THIS STA TO ALLOW KZWF TO SUSPEND OPERATIONS WILL SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST BY SPEEDING THE INTRODUCTION OF IMPROVED SERVICE TO THE COMMUNITY.
