Exhibits
Exhibit 35
Description:
REASON FOR EXTENSION OF STA

THE CIRCUMSTANCES JUSTIFYING AN STA ARE THE SAME AS IN THE PREVIOUS SEVEN REQUESTS.

KORS-CA CAUSED AND RECEIVED INTERFERENCE ON ITS LICENSED CHANNEL 36, SO IT APPLIED TO MOVE TO ANALOG CHANNEL 16, FILE NO. BPTTA-20040902AAJ. PROCESSING OF THAT APPLICATION WAS DELAYED BECAUSE OF A FREEZE BY THE COMMISSION ON CLASS A MINOR CHANGES.

BECAUSE INTERFERENCE WAS OCCURRING NOTWITHSTANDING THE FREEZE WHICH WAS IN EFFECT IN 2004, THE MEDIA BUREAU GRANTED AN STA TO OPERATE ON THE CHANNEL PROPOSED IN THE PENDING APPLICATION, WITH DIGITAL MODULATION.

THE ANALOG CONSTRUCTION PERMIT WAS GRANTED, AND A SUBSEQUENT DIGITAL FLASH CUT APPLICATION WAS ALSO GRANTED, BDFCDTA-20090630AC.

HOWEVER, THE STATION DOES NOT WISH TO FILE AN APPLICATION FOR A LICENSE TO COVER THE DIGITAL FLASH CUT CONSTRUCTION PERMIT UNTIL THE COMMISSION HAS APPROVED A PENDING SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT WHICH WILL RESULT IN KSLM-LD, 129164, MOVING FROM CO-CHANNEL 16 TO CHANNEL 27. THE KSLM-LD APPLICATION WAS ON PGL09-6 AND SHOULD BE GRANTABLE BY THE END OF NOVEMBER 2009.

KORS-CA NEEDS TO MAINTAIN THE VALIDITY OF ITS ANALOG CHANNEL 16 CONSTRUCTION PERMIT, BPTTA-20040902AAJ, UNTIL KSLM-LD'S APPLICATION TO CHANGE CHANNELS IS GRANTED, BECAUSE THE DIGITAL SERVICE AREA IS SMALLER THAN THE ANALOG AREA, SO RELINQUISHING THE ANALOG PERMIT BY FILING A DIGITAL LICENSE APPLICATION WILL RESULT IN A REDUCTION IN KORS-CA'S INTERFERENCE RIGHTS BASED ON PRIORITY IN TIME.

HOWEVER, THE CHANCES OF DENIAL OR DISMISSAL OF THE KSLM-LD CHANNEL CHANGE SHOULD BE VERY SMALL, SO THERE SHOULD BE NO REASON FOR MORE THAN THE ONE ADDITIONAL STA BEING REQUESTED HEREIN BEFORE KORS-CA CAN PERMANENTLY LICENSE ITS CHANNEL 16 DIGITAL FACILITIES.
