Exhibit 21
Description:
REASON FOR STA REQUEST AND DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY

KIIN HAS APPLIED FOR A MAXIMIZATION APPLICATION FOR OPERATION AT 57 KW. THE ONLY ISSUE APPARENTLY HOLDING UP THE GRANT OF THE APPLICATION IS BECAUSE IT IS MX WITH KEYC IN MANKATO, MN. THE KEYC APPLICATION HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED YET BECAUSE COORDINATION WITH CANADA IS REQUIRED BEFORE ITS FINAL ERP CAN BE DETERMINED. THEREFORE, TO SERVE ITS VIEWERSHIP BETTER, KIIN REQUESTS OPERATION AT 42 KW. WHILE THIS DOES NOT MATCH THE MAXIMIZATION APPLICATION, IT WILL NOT INTERFERE WITH KEYC ASSUMING KEYC WOULD BE GRANTED ITS MAXIMIZATION APPLICATION. GIVEN THAT, KIIN CAN SERVE ITS VIEWERSHIP BETTER WITH THIS POWER LEVEL AS AN INTERIM MEASURE. THE ATTACHED INTERFERENCE ANALYSIS INDICATES THAT THERE IS NO INTERFERENCE TO THE KEYC MAXIMIZATION APPLICATION OR ANYONE ELSE WHEN KIIN OPERATES AT 42 KW.

THE FACILITY IS LOCATED AT THE EXACT SAME COORDINATES AND TOWER LOCATION AS THE MAXIMIZED APPLICATION AND APPENDIX B FACILITY AND WILL CONSIST OF THE DIELECTRIC TUV-32GTH/14HV-R 06/03 ANTENNA, APPROXIMATELY 1425 FEET OF 6 1/8' TRANSMISSION LINE AND A TYPE VERIFIED TRANSMITTER.

A RF EXPOSURE ANALYSIS HAS NOT BEEN INCLUDED AS AN ATTACHMENT. OBVIOUSLY IF THE RF EXPOSURE PASSES THE OET-65 REQUIREMENT AT 57 KW IT WILL PASS THE REQUIREMENT AT 42 KW.
