Exhibits
Exhibit 39
Description:
EXHIBIT 39

NEWSCHANNEL 5 NETWORK, LLC HEREBY REQUESTS AN EXTENSION OF ITS SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY (STA) TO OPERATE A REPLACEMENT DIGITAL TRANSLATOR IN ASSOCIATION WITH STATION WTVF(TV), NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE (FACILITY ID NO. 36504) ON CHANNEL 5 WITH AN EFFECTIVE RADIATED POWER OF 22 KW. SEE FCC FILE NO. BLSTA-20120619ABV, CURRENTLY SCHEDULED TO EXPIRE ON AUGUST 7, 2013. AS NOTED IN THE ORIGINAL REQUEST FOR STA, THE REPLACEMENT TRANSLATOR'S FACILITIES WERE DESIGNED TO AVOID CAUSING ANY INTERFERENCE TO MEMPHIS FULL-POWER TELEVISION STATION, WMC-TV, WHICH ALSO OPERATES ON CHANNEL 5.

THE PREVIOUSLY-GRANTED STA HAS ALLOWED THE REPLACEMENT TRANSLATOR TO CONTINUE TO PROVIDE WTVF(TV)'S BROADCAST SERVICE TO APPROXIMATELY 159,100 VIEWERS WITHIN THE STATION'S SERVICE AREA WHO WOULD OTHERWISE NOT BE ABLE TO RECEIVE THE STATION'S FREE OVER-THE-AIR SIGNAL. THUS, GRANT OF THE EXTENSION WOULD SERVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST.

TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY, NEWSCHANNEL 5 NETWORK, LLC ALSO REQUESTS A WAIVER OF SECTION 74.735(B)(1) OF THE COMMISSION'S RULES.
