WILLFUL FALSE STATEMENTS ON THIS FORM ARE PUNISHABLE BY FINE AND/OR IMPRISONMENT (U.S. CODE, TITLE 18, SECTION 1001), AND/OR REVOCATION OF ANY STATION LICENSE OR CONSTRUCTION PERMIT (U.S. CODE, TITLE 47, SECTION 312(a)(1)), AND/OR FORFEITURE (U.S. CODE, TITLE 47, SECTION 503).



Exhibits
Exhibit 40
Description:
EXHIBIT 40

ON FRIDAY, MARCH 13, DUE TO A TRANSMISSION LINE AND OR ANTENNA FAULT ON ITS BROADCAST TOWER, THE STATION HAD TO REDUCE ITS AURAL POWER OUTPUT FROM THE TRANSMITTER BY 50 PERCENT. IT NORMALLY OPERATES AT TEN PERCENT OF THE VISUAL CARRIER POWER LEVEL; IT IS NOW AT FIVE PERCENT.

DUE TO THE LIMITED AMOUNT OF TIME UNTIL JUNE 12, 2009 AND THE NEED TO FOCUS STATION RESOURCES ON ENSURING A SMOOTH TRANSITION TO DTV SERVICE, THE LICENSEE BELIEVES IT IS POSSIBLE THAT IT WILL BE UNABLE TO RESTORE FULL ANALOG SERVICE BY JUNE 12, 2009.
