Exhibits
Exhibit 1
Description:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING DTS OPERATIONS

ON OCTOBER 5, 2011 THE APPLICANT WAS GRANTED SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (STA), TO OPERATE A DISTRIBUTED TRANSMISSION SYSTEM (DTS) FACILITY (FILE NO. BLSTA-20110927AHQ). ON OR ABOUT OCTOBER 6, 2011, APPLICANT BEGAN OPERATING ITS DTS SYSTEM PURSUANT TO THE STA UTILIZING UP TO FIVE TRANSMITTERS. ON APRIL 2, 2012 THE APPLICANT FILED AN EXTENSION REQUEST TO THE STA, WHICH EXTENSION REQUEST IS STILL PENDING. APPLICANT HEREBY REQUESTS FOR THE STA EXTENSION REQUEST TO BE DISMISSED AS MOOT IN LIGHT OF THE FILING OF THIS APPLICATION.

Attachment 1


Exhibit 2
Description:
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REGARDING DTS OPERATIONS

AS THE COMMISSION IS AWARE, THE APPLICANT WAS AUTHORIZED TO OPERATE UNDER SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (STA) WITH ESSENTIALLY IDENTICAL FACILITIES AS WERE AUTHORIZED IN THE UNDERLYING CONSTRUCTION PERMIT (SEE FCC FILE NO. BLSTA-20110927AHQ). SINCE OCTOBER 6, 2011, APPLICANT HAS OPERATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THAT STA UNTIL THE FACILITIES AUTHORIZED IN THE CONSTRUCTION PERMIT WERE COMPLETED. AS DEMONSTRATED IN THE ATTACHED ENGINEERING EXHIBIT, THE CONSTRUCTED FACILITIES CONFORM WITH THOSE AUTHORIZED BY THE CONSTRUCTION PERMIT.


Attachment 2


Exhibit 8
Description:
CONFORMANCE WITH CONSTRUCTION PERMIT

ITEMS (2.) AND (3.) OF THIS ENGINEERING SECTION REQUIRE THE APPLICANT TO PROVIDE FULL DETAILS REGARDING THE OPERATING PARAMETERS OF, AND THE ANTENNA TYPE/MODEL USED AT, THE TRANSMITTING FACILITIES CONSTRUCTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE UNDERLYING PERMIT COVERED BY THIS APPLICATION. THE TRANSMITTING FACILITIES APPROVED BY THE COMMISSION FOR THE STATION FALL UNDER THE COMMISSION'S RULES RELATING TO DISTRIBUTED TRANSMISSION SYSTEMS. AS SUCH, THERE ARE FIVE INDIVIDUAL AND SYNCHRONIZED TRANSMITTING FACILITIES. SINCE THE CURRENT 302-DTV FORM AVAILABLE ON THE COMMISSION'S CDBS ELECTRONIC FILING SYSTEM DOES NOT PROVIDE FOR DATA INPUT OF MORE THAN ONE TRANSMITTER SITE IN RESPONSE TO ITEMS (2.) AND (3.), THE APPLICANT HAS PROVIDED THE SITE INFORMATION FOR SITE #1 IN THE SECTION III (2.) AND (3.). SPECIFIC PARAMETERS OF ALL FIVE SITES ARE DETAILED IN AN ATTACHMENT TO THIS EXHIBIT 7. THE DATA ATTACHED BOTH CONFORMS TO THE REQUIREMENTS OF SECTION III, ITEMS (2.) AND (3.), AND DEMONSTRATES THAT THE APPLICANT HAS CONSTRUCTED THE FACILITIES AS AUTHORIZED.
