In re:

W288C1, Nashville, TN
Facility ID No. 141076
Silent since June 30, 2018

Request for Special Temporary
Authority to Remain Silent
Dear Mr. Tepper:
This letter concerns the request you filed on July 2, 2018, on behalf of Calvary Chapel of Twin
Falls, Inc. (Calvary), for Special Temporary Authority (STA) to permit FM Translator Station W288C1 to
remain silent.
Calvary's request states that Station W288C1 went silent on June 30, 2018, for technical reasons.
The request includes the appropriate certification regarding Section 5301 of the Anti-Drug Abuse Act of
1988.1
Calvary's request is granted. Accordingly, Special Temporary Authority is granted to permit
Station W288C1 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 W288C1 will
automatically expire as a matter of law if broadcast operations do not commence by 12:01 a.m.,
July 1, 2019.
Calvary is required to notify the Commission when broadcast operations resume. If Calvary does
not file the notification of resumption of operations in a timely manner, the license may be subject to
cancellation pursuant to Section 3 12(g) of the Communications Act, as amended.2
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.3
Sincerely,
$&d4 f
Lisa Scanlan
Deputy Chief, Audio Division
Media Bureau

In the event extension of special temporary authority is sought, please renew the certification in this matter.
2 Id. In addition to filing a notification of resumption of operations electronically on the date operations resume,
notification of resumption must also be emailed to Denise.Williams@FCC.gov .
