In re: KDBN(FM), Parachute, CO
Facility ID No. 162254
Silent since May 6, 2013
Request for Special Temporary
Authority to Remain Silent
Dear Mr. Liberman:
This letter concerns the request you filed on May 9, 2013, on behalf of Townsquare Media Grand
Junction License, LLC ("TMG"), for Special Temporary Authority to permit FM Radio Station KDBN to
remain silent.
TMG' s request states that Station KDBN (FM) went silent on May 6, 2013, pending the proposed
assignment of its license. The request includes the appropriate certification regarding Section 5301 of the
Anti-Drug Abuse Act of 1988.'
TMG' s request is granted. Accordingly, Special Temporary Authority is granted to permit
Station KDBN (FM) to remain silent not to exceed 180 days from the date of this letter.
Notwithstanding the grant of this Special Temporary Authority, the broadcast license for Station
KDBN (FM) will automatically expire as a matter of law if broadcast operations do not commence
by 12:01 a.m., May 7, 2014.2 See Section 3 12(g) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. § 3 12(g).
The station's silent status does not suspend the licensee's obligation to comply with all other
relevant Commission rules, including the filing, when appropriate, of applications for renewal of
broadcast license. Finally, we note that it is imperative to the safety of air navigation that any prescribed
painting and illumination of the station's tower shall be maintained until removed. See 47 C.F.R. § 17.6
and 73.1740(a)(4).
Sincerely,

Lisa Scanlan
Assistant Chief, Audio Division
Media Bureau
In the event extension of special temporary authority is sought, please renew the certification in this matter.
2 In addition to filing electronically with the Commission on the date operations resume, notification of resumption
of broadcast operations must be emailed to Denise.Williams@FCC.gov.
