WYVC(FM), Camden, Alabama
Facility ID No. 17481
Request for Special Temporary
Authorization
File No. BLSTA-20120726AFL

Dear Rev. Craig:
This letter refers to the July 26, 2012, request for Special Temporary Authorization
("STA") filed on behalf of Down Home Broadcasting ("Down Home" or "Licensee"), licensee
of expired Station WYVC(FM), Camden, Alabama (the "Station").
Applications for renewal of Alabama broadcast station licenses were to be filed by
December 1, 2011. 2012. No such application was filed, and the Station's license expired on
April 1, 2012. Subsequently, on July 26, 2012, Licensee filed a license renewal application for
the Station' and the subject STA Request. In the STA request, Licensee requests STA to resume
Station operations at licensed parameters pending consideration of the (untimely) renewal
application.
Under Section 309(f) of the Communications Act,2 when an appropriate application has
been filed, the Commission may grant special temporary authorization if it finds that there are
extraordinary circumstances requiring temporary operation is in the public interest and that delay
in the institution of such temporary operations would seriously prejudice the public interest. In
this case, we believe that the public interest in continuing WYVC(FM) ' s broadcast service to the
residents of Camden, Alabama, warrants resumed operation of the station pending consideration
and disposition of the renewal application.
Accordingly, the July 26, 2012, request for Special Temporary Authorization filed by
Down Home Broadcasting IS GRANTED, and it may resume operation of Station WYVC(FM),
Camden, Alabama, with the facilities for which the license expired on April 1, 2012.

1 File No. BR-20120726AFR.
247U.S.C. § 309(f).

This authorization will expire: (1) 180 days from the date of this letter; or (2) upon action
on the pending WYVC(FM) license renewal application, whichever is sooner.
Sincerely,
