Description:
KBTC-DT STA REQUEST

CONCURRENT WITH THE INSTANT STA REQUEST, BATES IS FILING A FORM 340 APPLICATION TO IMPLEMENT THE PROPOSED STA FACILITY AS ITS PERMANENT FACILITY FOR KBTC-DT. THE ANTENNAS FOR KBTC-TV AND KBTC-DT ARE MOUNTED ON THE SAME TOWER. AS EXPLAINED MORE FULLY IN THE ENGINEERING STATEMENT ATTACHED HERETO AND TO THE FORM 340, THE APPLICANT PROPOSES TO RELOCATE KBTC-DT'S ANTENNA TO THE TOP OF THE TOWER TO MAXIMIZE THE STATION'S DTV SERVICE. THE MINOR CHANGE PROPOSED HEREIN AND IN THE FORM 340 WILL (1) ACCOMMODATE THE DIGITAL ANTENNA RELOCATION; (2) ADDRESS CERTAIN TOWER STRUCTURAL LOADING PROBLEMS (INCLUDING THE PLACEMENT OF NEW ANTENNAS FOR OTHER SERVICES ON THE TOWER); AND (3) EFFECT THE REPLACEMENT OF AN AGING ANALOG ANTENNA BY ALLOWING THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW ANALOG ANTENNA AT A LOWER POSITION ON THE TOWER. THE APPLICANT SEEKS AN STA WHILE FORM 340 IS PENDING BECAUSE IT WOULD LIKE TO COMMENCE THE WORK ON THE TOWER AS EARLY AS NOVEMBER 1, 2006, BOTH TO MAXIMIZE DTV SERVICE AND TO ACCOMMODATE OTHER SERVICES ON THE TOWER AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
