Exhibits
Exhibit 1
Description:
JUSTIFICATION FOR REQUEST TO REMAIN SILENT

THE LICENSEE, LEGACY COMMUNICATIONS, LLC (LEGACY), HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO SELL ALL OF ITS RADIO STATIONS IN THE SCOTTSBLUFF, NEBRASKA MARKET TO NEBRASKA RURAL RADIO ASSOCIATION (NRRA), INCLUDING STATION KETT, THE SUBJECT OF THIS OFF-AIR NOTICE AND REQUEST FOR SILENT STA.

LEGACY AND NRRA HAVE ALSO ENTERED INTO AN LMA FOR CERTAIN STATIONS IN THE SCOTTSBLUFF MARKET THAT NRRA IS BUYING FROM LEGACY.

THE LMA, HOWEVER, EXCLUDES STATION KETT, BECAUSE OF FCC MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP RULE LIMITS. NRRA HAS COMMITTED IN THE LICENSE ASSIGNMENT APPLICATION FOR ALL OF THE STATIONS (FILE NO. BAL-20191106AAH), TO ALIENATE OR DIVEST KETT CONTEMPORANEOUSLY WITH CLOSING, WHETHER BY SURRENDER OR DIVESTITURE.

DURING THE TIME BEFORE THE PENDING SALE, BECAUSE NRRA CANNOT PROGRAM STATION KETT DUE TO MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP LIMITATIONS, LEGACY HAS ELECTED TO SHUT DOWN KETT FOR FINANCIAL REASONS.
