Exhibits
Exhibit 38
Description: REQUEST TO BEGIN POST-TRANSITION DTV OPERATION

KDRV REQUESTS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY ('STA') TO COMMENCE OPERATION ON ITS POST-TRANSITION CHANNEL ON FEBRUARY 17, 2009. KDRV IS CURRENTLY OPERATING ON ITS PRE-TRANSITION DIGITAL CHANNEL (38D) AND AT REDUCED POWER ON ITS ANALOG CHANNEL (12) PURSUANT TO STA (BSTA-20080219AJY). THE REDUCED POWER ANALOG OPERATION HAS BEEN NECESSARY TO FACILITATE INSTALLATION OF THE KDRV POST-TRANSITION FACILITY ON CHANNEL 12D.

CONSTRUCTION OF THE POST-TRANSITION FACILITY HAS BEEN COMPLETED AND KDRV DESIRES TO SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST THROUGH RESTORATION OF FULL SERVICE TO ITS VIEWERS ON ITS POST-TRANSITION CHANNEL. ACCORDINGLY, KDRV RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS STA TO TERMINATE ANALOG SERVICE ON CHANNEL 12 AND COMMENCE OPERATION OF THE POST-TRANSITION DIGITAL FACILITIES ON CHANNEL 12D SPECIFIED IN FCC FILE NO. BPCDT-20080215APP ON FEBRUARY 17, 2009.

AS REQUIRED BY FCC PUBLIC NOTICE 09-6, RELEASED FEBRUARY 5, 2009, AND THE THIRD DTV PERIODIC REVIEW REPORT AND ORDER AT PARAGRAPH 123, KDRV ENGINEERING HAS CONFIRMED THAT OPERATION OF KDRV'S POST-TRANSITION FACILITY WILL NOT CAUSE IMPERMISSABLE INTERFERENCE TO ANY AUTHORIZED ANALOG OR PRE-TRANSITION DIGITAL STATION. SEE THE ENGINEERING STATEMENT ATTACHED HERETO. IN ADDITION, AS DEMONSTRATED IN THE ATTACHED STATEMENT, KDRV'S POST-TRANSITION DIGITAL FACILITY WILL HAVE A LARGER SERVICE AREA THAN ITS PRE-TRANSITION DIGITAL FACILITY. ALSO, SINCE KDRV INTENDS TO COMMENCE FULL, AUTHORIZED POST-TRANSITION SERVICE ON FEBRUARY 17, 2009, IT WILL BE PROVIDING SUCH SERVICE ON THE NEW JUNE 12, 2009 TRANSITION DEADLINE. ACCORDINGLY, AS SET FORTH ABOVE AND IN THE ATTACHMENT HERETO, KDRV HAS DEMONSTRATED GOOD CAUSE TO PERMIT OPERATION OF ITS POST-TRANSITION FACILITIES PURSUANT TO STA COMMENCING FEBRUARY 17, 2009.
