Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:

Applicant is a cable sports programming network that provides live coverage of sporting events with the use of wireless equipment. Applicant has certain private wireless licenses for this purpose. However, the spectrum demands in major cities and the limited spectrum for these events makes it necessary to make coordinated, temporary use of additional frequencies in the UHF spectrum.
