Exhibits
Exhibit 20
Description:
NEED FOR STA

THIS APPLICANT HAS PENDING BEFORE THE COMMISSION AN APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO DIGITALLY FLASH CUT WGSC-CA (BDISDVA-20090805AAU). IN THAT APPLICATION WE SPECIFIED THE USE OF A FULL SERVICE MASK FILTER IN ANTICIPATION OF THE FCC BEGINNING TO ALLOW ROUTINE SPECIFICATION OF SUCH FILTERS, AS PROPOSED LAST FALL. WITHOUT SAID FILTER, OUR FLASHCUT PROPOSAL EXCEEDS THE REQUIRED PROTECTION RATIO TO WITV (7D), CHARLSTON, SC BY APPROXIMATELY 13 DB. AS A RESULT, APPLICANT'S PENDING FLASH CUT PROPOSAL CAN NOT BE GRANTED UNTIL LATER THIS YEAR.

APPLICANT WISHES TO BEGIN DIGITAL OPERATION IMMEDIATELY, SINCE ITS ANALOG VIEWER HAVE MOSTLY THEMSELVES COVERTED TO DIGITAL AND NO LONGER CAN SEE APPLICANT'S ANALOG SIGNAL. IN ORDER TO DO SO AND PROTECT WITV(7D) UNDER THE EXISTING RULES, WE PROPOSE TO REDUCE OUR TPO FROM 80 WATTS DOWN TO 4 WATTS, THEREBY PROTECTING WITV WITH ONLY A STRINGENT MASK FILTER.

WE WOULD BUILD WITH THE FULL SERVICE MASK FILTER PROPOSED IN OUR PENDING APPLICATION, THEREBY OVER-PROTECTING WITV BY 14 DB. ONCE WE ARE GRANTED A CONSTRUCTION PERIT BASED ON A FULL SERVICE MASK FILTER, WE WOULD TURN UP OUR TRANSMITTER TO ACHIEVE THE FULL 80 WATTS PROPOSED IN 20090805AAU, FILE OUR LICENCE TO COVER, AND ASK THAT THIS STA BE TERMINATED. WE ANTICIPATE COMPLETION OF THE FULL SERVICE MASK FILTER RULE MAKING WELL WITHIN THE SIX MONTHS OF TEMPORARY AUTHORITY REQUESTED IN THIS STA.

THIS REQUEST IS IN THE PUBLIC INTEREST, BECAUSE IT WILL BRING ADDITIONAL DIGITAL SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY OF LICENSE IMMEDIATELY AND WILL MAKE INITIATION OF OUR PERMANENT DIGITAL SERVICE HAPPEN MUCH SOONER, SINCE THE PERMANENT FACILITY WILL BE 'PRE-CONSTRUCTED' AND READY FOR LICENCE THE DAY A CONSTUCTION PERMIT (SPECIFYING A FULL SERVICE MASK FILTER) IS GRANTED.
