Exhibits
Exhibit 35
Description:
STA EXTENSION REQUEST STATEMENT

RENARD COMMUNICATIONS CORP. ('RENARD'), IS THE LICENSEE OF WMBQ-CA, MANHATTAN, NY. RENARD HAD BEEN GRANTED AN STA (BSTA-20071228ACB) TO OPERATE AT ITS PRESENT LOCATION AND AS EXTENDED BY BESTA-20080627ABU. RENARD HAD FILED AN APPLICATION (BPTTA-20080519AAF) TO MOVE TO ITS PRESENT SITE WITH THE IDENTICAL PARAMETERS AS AUTHORIZED IN THE STA. A PETITION TO DENY HAD BEEN FILED AGAINST THAT APPLICATION OBJECTING TO RENARD'S REQUEST FOR A WAIVER OF THE FREEZE THAT HAD BEEN IN EFFECT AT THAT TIME. RENARD DISMISSED THAT APPLICATION AND FILED AN APPLICATION (BPTTA-20080616AAV) SPECIFYING A MINOR MODIFICATION OF ITS ANTENNA PATTERN AND A POWER REDUCTION SO AS TO BE WITHIN COMPLIANCE OF THE PARAMETERS OF THE FREEZE WITHOUT ANY WAIVER REQUEST. THAT APPLICATION WAS GRANTED. HOWEVER, AS A RESULT OF THE FREEZE NO LONGER BEING IN EFFECT, RENARD WAS ABLE TO FILE AN APPLICATION (BMPTTA-20081216BLI) TO MODIFY ITS CP AND SPECIFY THE FACILITIES ORIGINALLY REQUESTED IN BPTTA-20080519AAF. IMPLEMENTING THE PARAMETERS OF THE CP, WHICH WOULD INCLUDE MODIFYING THE ANTENNA AND REDUCING POWER, WOULD CAUSE AN UNNECESSARY REDUCTION OF SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC THAT WMBQ-CA IS NOW PROVIDING. AS THE PRESENT MODIFICATION APPLICATION IS STILL PENDING, RENARD REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF THE STA.
