Exhibits
Exhibit 24
Description:
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES

CUMULUS LICENSING LLC ('CUMULUS') RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF THE KQIZ-FM SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO OPERATE AT REDUCED POWER. AS REPORTED PREVIOUSLY, THE KQIZ-FM TRANSMITTER FAILED AND IS INCAPABLE OF OPERATING AT FULL POWER. CUMULUS HAS BEEN OPERATING THIS STATION AT APPROXIMATELY THIRTY PERCENT (30%) OF ITS LICENSED POWER WHILE IT TRIES TO FIND REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR ITS 35 YEAR OLD, MCMARTIN BF-25K TRANSMITTER. THIS TRANSMITTER MANUFACTURER IS NO LONGER IN BUSINESS, SO, CUMULUS CANNOT CONTACT THEM FOR SUPPORT. CUMULUS' LOCAL AND REGIONAL ENGINEERS HAVE COME UP EMPTY-HANDED IN THEIR SEARCH FOR THE PARTS NECESSARY TO REPAIR THIS TRANSMITTER. LIKEWISE, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO LOCATE A REPLACEMENT/LOANER TRANSMITTER YET.

FOR THESE REASONS, CUMULUS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY, PURSUANT TO SECTION 73.1635 OF THE RULES, TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE KQIZ-FM AT REDUCED POWER.
