Exhibits
Exhibit 36
Description: PURPOSE STATEMENT
RED RIVER BROADCAST CO., LLC (RED RIVER), THE PERMITTEE OF DIGITAL TELEVISION STATION KVRR-DT, FARGO, NORTH DAKOTA (KVRR), HEREBY REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF THE SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (STA) GRANTED TO KVRR. RED RIVER IS OPERATING KVRR PURSUANT TO THE PARAMETERS SET FORTH IN THE STA. THE STATION HAS BEEN ON THE AIR SINCE APRIL 22, 2003, FOLLOWING GRANT OF THE ORIGINAL STA ON FEBRUARY 24, 2003 (SEE FCC FILE NO. BDSTA-20030206ADJ). THE STA HAS BEEN EXTENDED PERIODICALLY SINCE THAT TIME, AND THE EXISTING STA WILL EXPIRE ON JUNE 1, 2006.
BECAUSE KVRR IS NOT LOCATED IN A TOP-100 TELEVISION MARKET, IT WAS NOT SUBJECT TO THE JULY 1, 2005 MAXIMIZATION/REPLICATION DEADLINE. RATHER, KVRR IS SUBJECT TO THE JULY 1, 2006 MAXIMIZATION/REPLICATION DEADLINE. ACCORDINGLY, RED RIVER RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF THE KVRR-DT STA UNTIL JULY 1, 2006.
NO CHANGES TO THE OPERATING PARAMETERS SET FORTH IN THE ORIGINAL STA ARE PROPOSED. KVRR WILL CONTINUE TO AFFORD THE REQUISITE COVERAGE TO THE CITY OF LICENSE WITH THE FACILITIES AUTHORIZED IN THE STA. IN ADDITION, THE STATION WILL CONTINUE TO COMPLY WITH THE COMMISSIONS RADIO FREQUENCY RADIATION RULES, 47 C.F.R. 1.1307(B). FINALLY, KVRR SUBMITS THAT AN EXTENSION OF THE STA WILL SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST BECAUSE IT WILL ALLOW THE STATION TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE IMPORTANT DIGITAL TELEVISION SERVICES TO THE FARGO COMMUNITY.
