Exhibit 36
Description:
EXHIBIT 36

KXLF COMMUNICATIONS, INC. ('KXLF') HEREBY REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF ITS EXPERIMENTAL AUTHORITY AND SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY FOR STATION KXLF-TV, BUTTE, MONTANA (BDSTA-20101015ABQ) (THE 'STA'). ON OCTOBER 27, 2010, THE COMMISSION GRANTED THE STA AUTHORIZING KXLF-TV TO INCREASE ITS ERP TO 15 KW ON VHF CHANNEL 5. THE STA WILL EXPIRE ON APRIL 27, 2011. FOR THE COMMISSION'S CONVENIENCE A COPY OF THE INITIAL STA REQUEST IS ATTACHED.

KXLF REQUESTED THE STA TO INCREASE POWER AFTER RECEIVING NUMEROUS REPORTS OF RECEPTION DIFFICULTIES THROUGHOUT ITS SERVICE AREA. SINCE INCREASING POWER, KXLF BELIEVES THAT OVER-THE-AIR RECEPTION OF THE STATION HAS IMPROVED, BUT KXLF CONTINUES TO TAKE MEASUREMENTS TO CONFIRM WHETHER THE POWER INCREASE HAS FULLY RESOLVED THE PROBLEM. IN THE MEANTIME, KXLF REQUESTS EXTENSION OF THE STA TO ALLOW IT TO CONTINUE TO OPERATE AT 15 KW. GRANT OF THIS EXTENSION REQUEST SERVES THE PUBLIC INTEREST BECAUSE THE INCREASE IN POWER HAS RESTORED OVER-THE-AIR RECEPTION FOR MANY VIEWERS OF KXLF-TV.

BASED ON KXLF'S EXPERIENCE OVER THE LAST SIX MONTHS, KXLF BELIEVES THAT NO INTERFERENCE IS BEING CAUSED BY OPERATING WITH THE FACILITIES PROPOSED HEREIN. IN THE UNLIKELY EVENT THAT OBJECTIONABLE INTERFERENCE IS CAUSED, KXLF IS WILLING TO TAKE ALL REASONABLE STEPS TO ELIMINATE SUCH, INCLUDING MODIFYING ITS OPERATING PARAMETERS OR CEASING OPERATIONS, IF NECESSARY. KXLF UNDERSTANDS THAT GRANT OF THIS REQUEST DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY PERMANENT OPERATING AUTHORITY.
