Federal Communications Commission Washington, D.C. 20554 DA 08-1284 Released: June 6, 2008 Tom W. Davidson Counsel for Hoak Media of Wichita Falls Licensee, LLC 1333 New Hampshire Ave, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20036 Re: MB Docket No. 05-317 Dear Mr. Davidson: By letter dated April 15, 2008, Hoak Media of Wichita Falls Licensee, LLC (“Hoak”), licensee of KAUZ-TV, Wichita Falls, Texas 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 KAUZ-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 it continues to experience reduction of 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 Hoak’s request IS GRANTED and the first permissible date for digital testing for KAUZ-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 Media Bureau 1 See 47 U.S.C. § 339 (a)(2)(D)(viii), as amended by Section 207 of the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004 (“SHVERA”), 47 U.S.C. § 339. 2 See Waiver of Digital Testing Pursuant to the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004, 22 FCC Rcd 12918, 12927 (MB 2007). 3 See Waiver of Digital Testing Pursuant to the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004, 23 FCC 396, 402 (MB 2008).
