Exhibits
Exhibit 2
Description:
CIRCUMSTANCES WARRANTING EXTENSION OF STA

WSRJ SUSPENDED OPERATIONS DUE TO ONGOING FINANCIAL ISSUES WHICH MADE CONTINUED OPERATION UNSUSTAINABLE. SINCE THE TIME THE STATION WENT SILENT, THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC HAS ONLY MADE THE FINANCIAL CIRCUMSTANCES WORSE AND HAVE PRECLUDED RESUMPTION OF SERVICE. ADDITIONALLY, THE LICENSEE HAS ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT TO ASSIGN THE LICENSE FOR THE STATION TO NONCOMMERCIAL EDUCATIONAL LICENSEE GOOD NEWS MEDIA, INC., AND AN APPLICATION FOR CONSENT TO ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE, FILE NO. BALH-20200714AAJ, HAS BEEN FILED. UPON GRANT OF THE STATION'S APPLICATION FOR RENEWAL OF LICENSE, FILE NO. 0000115519, THE APPLICATION WILL BE RIPE FOR CONSIDERATION AND GRANT, AND THE PROPOSED ASSIGNEE HAS INDICATED AN INTENT TO RETURN THE STATION TO OPERATION.
