Exhibits
Exhibit 38
Description:
BASIS FOR STA REQUEST

IN OCTOBER 2008, KLVX EXPERIENCED A PARTIAL FAILURE OF ITS ANALOG TRANSMISSION EQUIPMENT. AFTER MAKING LIMITED REPAIRS, KLVX WAS ABLE TO RETURN TO OPERATIONS AT 50% OF ITS AUTHORIZED POWER.

AFTER ASSESSING THE NATURE OF THE FAILURE AND WITH FEWER THAN FIVE MONTHS OF ANALOG SERVICE REMAINING, KLVX HAS DETERMINED THAT UNDERTAKING REPAIRS TO RETURN THE STATION TO FULL ANALOG POWER WOULD BURDEN VIEWERS WITH UNNECESSARY SERVICE DISRUPTIONS AND WOULD BE ECONOMICALLY UNSOUND. ACCORDINGLY, KLVX RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO OPERATE ITS ANALOG FACILITIES AT 50% OF ITS AUTHORIZED POWER UNTIL IT TERMINATES ANALOG OPERATIONS.

SHOULD THE COMMISSION REQUIRE, KLVX WILL BROADCAST VIEWER NOTIFICATIONS PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH 117 OF THE COMMISSION'S REPORT AND ORDER, MB DOCKET NO. 07-91, FCC 07-228 (REL. DEC. 31, 2007).
