Dear Counsel:
This is in reference to the request filed July 2, 2013, on behalf of Townsquare Media Casper
License, LLC ("Townsquare"). Townsquare requests special temporary authority ("STA") to
operate Stations KRVK and KWYY with temporary facilities at the licensed transmitter site.'
The stations' common antenna failed due to a burned power divider.
Accordingly, the request for STA IS HEREBY GRANTED. Stations KRVK and KWYY may
Continue to operate with the folllowing temporary facilities:
Geographic coordinates:
KRVK's Channel
KWYY's Channel
Effective radiated power:

42° 44 37 N, 106° 18 24' W (NAD 1927) (licensed site)
300 (107.9 MHz)
238 (95.5 MHz)
KRVK 0.050 kilowatt (H&V)
KWYY 0.500 kilowatt (H&V)

Antenna height:
59 meters
above ground:
above mean sea level:
2504 meters
above average terrain:
540 meters
Antenna Structure Registration No.: 1033353

KRVK and KWYY are licensed with effective radiated powers of 15.5 kilowatts (H&V) and 100 kW (H&V),
respectively, at an antenna height above average terrain (HAAT) of 591 meters.

This authority expires on December 30, 2013.

STA Advisory: Section 309(f) of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, authorizes the
Commission to grant STA in cases of "extraordinary circumstances requiring temporary
authorizations in the public interest and when delay in the institution of the temporary operations
would seriously prejudice the public interest." However, Section 309(f) is not a means by which
a licensee/permittee may circumvent established processing procedures which require the filing
of an application, nor is it a means by which a broadcaster may enhance his facility or make
operation more convenient for the broadcaster. Stations operating with less than licensed
facilities under temporary authorities can be viewed as receiving the benefit of a larger protection
area than that in which they are currently providing service.
Accordingly, Special Temporary Authorities by nature are to be temporary and are not intended
for extended use. Licensees of stations operating under temporary authorities are reminded that
timely restoration of permanent facilities is the responsibility of the licensee and should be
undertaken expeditiously. Any request for extension of special temporary authorities carries an
increased burden with each subsequent request.
Therefore, requests for extension of STA will be granted only where the licensee can show that
one or more of the following criteria have been met:
• Restoration of licensed facilities is complete and testing is underway;
• Substantial progress has been made during the most recent STA period toward
restoration of licensed operation; or
• No progress has been made during the most recent STA period for reasons clearly
beyond the licensee's control, and the licensee has taken all possible steps to
expeditiously resolve the problem.

Sincerely,

Dale Bickel,
Senior Engineer
