Exhibit 21
Description:
EXHIBIT 21

ON JUNE 12, 2009, WTVM LICENSE SUBSIDIARY, LLC, PERMITTEE OF WTVM(TV), COLUMBUS, GEORGIA (THE 'STATION') SUCCESSFULLY TRANSITIONED FROM ITS PRE-TRANSITION DTV CHANNEL 47 TO POST-TRANSITION DTV CHANNEL 11. THE STATION HAS DETERMINED, HOWEVER, THAT ADDITIONAL CONSTRUCTION WILL BE REQUIRED FOR ITS DTV TRANSMITTER TO EFFECTIVELY PRODUCE AN OUTPUT OF 50 KW EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER ('ERP'), THE POWER LEVEL SPECIFIED IN ITS CONSTRUCTION PERMIT.

THE STATION IS IN THE PROCESS OF COMPLETING THE CONSTRUCTION NECESSARY FOR IT TO REACH 50 KW ERP, AND IT EXPECTS TO COMPLETE THAT CONSTRUCTION NO LATER THAN JUNE 24, 2009. IN ORDER TO MAINTAIN EXISTING SERVICE DURING THIS PERIOD, THE STATION RESPECTFULLY REQUESTS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO OPERATE AT REDUCED POWER UNTIL ITS TRANSMITTER IS OPERATING AT FULL POWER.

THE STATION IS SEPARATELY REQUESTING A BRIEF EXTENSION OF ITS CONSTRUCTION PERMIT TO COMPLETE CONSTRUCTION OF ITS FINAL DTV FACILITY.
