          Attachment to FCC STA Application
          Request for Special Temporary Authority

          On behalf of ESPN Productions, Inc. ("ESPN"), this letter requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA")
to operate in UHF frequencies 500 to 505 MHz in order to coordinate event emergencies, transportation, security
and safety conditions in connection with ESPN‘s live coverage of the 2017 Summer X Games located in
Minneapolis, MN from June 25, 2017 through July 30, 2017. ESPN has monitored the requested frequencies to
insure that there is no interference with local licensed users.

          The X Games Show is an annual event attracting an extremely large spectator crowd.              Crowd control,
potential safety hazards and the need for effective radio communications for coordination are necessary. Frequency
distribution will be utilized for operations, security, crowd management and first aid coordination. None of the
requested frequencies will be used for broadcast purposes.       Operations on the proposed frequencies will be
monitored on a 24—hour basis, and it is understood that authorization is secondary in nature. There will be (1000)
UHF 4 watt handheld radios utilized along with (14) 25—waitt trunking repeaters to provide adequate radio coverage
of the event area.

         ESPN has coordinated this use of this spectrum with the SBE Frequency Coordinator of record for the
Minneapolis, MN area and has received approval.

          The applicant hereby certifies that no party of this application is subject to denial of federal benefits
pursuant to Section 5301 of the Anti—Drug Abuse Act of 1988, 21 U.S.C. §853(a).

          If there are any questions concerning this request, please contact Kenneth Gordon Jr. of the ESPN, Inc.
Legal Department at (860) 766—3439 (Facsimile 860—766—2423) and for questions of a technical nature, please
contact Dana Underhill at (860) 766—2278.

                                                                       Very truly yours,




                                                                                Our Mission: To Serve Sports Fans. Anytime. Anywhere
