Exhibit 21
Description:
REQUEST FOR STA

ON OR AROUND NOVEMBER 4, VISTA WEST MEDIA, LLC, LICENSEE OF TELEVISION STATION KIDK EXPERIENCED A COMPONENT FAILURE IN THE STATION'S TRANSMITTER MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO OPERATE KIDK AT FULL, AUTHORIZED POWER. ACCORDINGLY, KIDK HAS BEEN OPERATING AT REDUCED POWER (70-80%) AS DESCRIBED HEREIN SINCE THAT TIME. LARCAN, THE MANUFACTURER OF THE TRANSMITTER UTILIZED BY KIDK, IS NO LONGER IN OPERATION, WHICH HAS CREATED A DIFFICULTY IN FINDING A SOURCE FOR THE REPAIR PARTS AND MAKING THE NEEDED REPAIRS. THE LICENSEE IS IN THE PROCESS OF MEETING WITH OTHER COMPANIES WHO ANTICIPATE BEING ABLE TO REPAIR AND/OR REPLACE THE NECESSARY COMPONENTS.

CONSEQUENTLY, BECAUSE KIDK IS INCAPABLE OF OPERATING AT ITS FULL, AUTHORIZED PARAMETERS, IT IS RESPECTFULLY REQUESTED THAT THE STATION BE GRANTED SPECIAL TEMPORARY AUTHORITY TO OPERATE AT REDUCED POWER FOR 6 MONTHS WHILE IT WORKS DILIGENTLY TO LOCATE AND/OR REPAIR THE PARTS NECESSARY TO BRING THE STATION BACK TO FULL, AUTHORIZED PARAMETERS.

THE PUBLIC INTEREST WOULD BE SERVED BY GRANT OF THIS REQUEST SO THAT VIEWERS WILL CONTINUE TO BE SERVED BY KIDK WHILE THE TRANSMITTER IS BEING REPAIRED.
