Re: MB Docket No. 05-317
Dear Ms. Flick:
By letter dated April 15, 2008, Fisher Broadcasting-Oregon TV, L.L.C., permitee of KVAL-DT, 
Eugene, Oregon requested an extension of its waiver of Section 339(a)(2)(D) of the Communications Act 
of 1934, as amended, to prohibit satellite subscribers from receiving or conducting a digital signal 
strength test of KVAL-DT’s digital signal.1 The Commission granted the original digital signal testing 
waiver based on the fact that the station’s digital signal coverage was limited due to the necessity to use a 
side mounted antenna.2 The Commission has granted the licensee one six-month extension.3 In its most 
recent extension request, the licensee states that it continues to experience loss of approximately 20 % of 
its predicted population coverage due to its use of a side mounted antenna and that it is prevented from 
installing a top mounted digital antenna because its analog antenna is currently installed in that position.  
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the request of Fisher Broadcasting-Oregon IS GRANTED 
and the first permissible date for digital testing for KVAL-DT IS EXTENDED six months, from June 15, 
2008 to December 15, 2008.  If a further extension is needed, a request must be filed by October 15, 
2008.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
Chief, Video Division
