Exhibits
Exhibit 1
Description:
EXHIBIT 1 - REASONS FOR GOING SILENT & REQUEST FOR STA TO REMAIN SILENT

KXAN, INC. ('KXAN'), LICENSEE OF CLASS A STATION KHPM-CA, SAN MARCOS, TX, HEREBY NOTIFIES THE FCC THAT THE STATION WAS FORCED TO GO SILENT ON NOVEMBER 10, 2005, DUE TO LOST OF ITS ANTENNA STUCTURE. THE STATION'S ANTENNA HAS BEEN MOUNTED ON A WATER TOWER OWNED BY THE CITY OF SAN MARCOS. THE CITY HAS NOTIFIED KHPM THAT THE WATER TOWER WILL BE TAKEN DOWN EFFECTIVE DECEMBER 15.   NOVEMBER 10 WAS THE LAST DAY PRIOR TO DECEMBER 15 THAT A TOWER CREW COULD COME TO THE SITE TO DISMANTLE THE KHPM-CA ANTENNA.

BECAUSE KXAN HAS NOT YET FOUND A SUITABLE SITE, IT RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY ('STA') TO REMAIN SILENT FOR A PERIOD OF 90 DAYS OR UNTIL IT CAN LOCATE A SUITABLE SITE, OBTAIN A MODIFIED AUTHORIZATION AND RELOCATE THE STATION TO THAT SITE, WHICHEVER IS SOONER.
