Exhibits
Exhibit 40
Description:
JUSTIFICATION FOR REDUCED POWER SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY

EAGLE CREEK BROADCASTING OF CORPUS CHRISTI, LLC ('EAGLE CREEK') HEREBY REQUESTS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO OPERATE KZTV(TV) AT REDUCED POWER FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE DTV TRANSITION DUE TO ANALOG TRANSMITTER EQUIPMENT FAILURE, A CIRCUMSTANCE BEYOND EAGLE CREEK'S CONTROL.

BY LETTER DATED MARCH 12, 2009, EAGLE CREEK NOTIFIED THE FCC THAT KZTV(TV)'S MAIN TRANSMITTER OUTPUT TUBE FAILED ON MARCH 6, 2009. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN ANALOG SERVICE TO THE PUBLIC, EAGLE CREEK TEMPORARILY CONNECTED THE DRIVER SECTION OF THE STATION'S ANALOG TRANSMITTER DIRECTLY TO THE ANTENNA. EAGLE CREEK SUBSEQUENTLY LOCATED A USED TRANSMITTER OUTPUT TUBE AND COMPLETED THE INSTALLATION OF THAT EQUIPMENT ON MARCH 20, 2009. AS A CONSEQUENCE, EAGLE CREEK IS NOW OPERATING KZTV(TV) AT APPROXIMATELY 195 KW.

BECAUSE NATIONWIDE ANALOG TELEVISION SERVICE WILL TERMINATE ON JUNE 12, 2009, EAGLE CREEK HAS CONCLUDED THAT THE ADDITIONAL COST OF ATTEMPTING TO RESTORE KZTV(TV) TO FULL POWER ANALOG OPERATIONS FOR SUCH A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WOULD NOT BE FINANCIALLY PRUDENT. HOWEVER, BARRING FURTHER TECHNICAL ISSUES, EAGLE CREEK ANTICIPATES THAT IT WILL CONTINUE TO OPERATE KZTV(TV) AT REDUCED POWER UNTIL THE DTV TRANSITION DATE.

EAGLE CREEK IS BROADCASTING THE REQUIRED NOTIFICATIONS TO ITS VIEWERS OF THE REDUCED ANALOG POWER OPERATIONS.
