Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Live Sports Radio, LLC, is an audio solutions provider that re-broadcasts existing network feeds live (i.e., radio, TV, Spanish, auditory assistance) to fans attending select high profile sporting events across the nation. The service allows attendees to be as informed as fans listening from home. Our service also allows networks and properties to speak directly to the fans in-venue, if they desire. Live Sports Radio currently obtains STAs from the FCCs Media Bureau to carry out our transmission. In light of the implementation of the Experimental Licensing System, we are utilizing this new system. Live Sports Radio is continuing to work to find a viable long-term broadcast solution which will reduce the amount of spectrum that we use, while ensuring the service will be available for years to come. Live Sports Radio previously tested other spectrum bands for its service, but those tests were not successful. Live Sports Radio also has a long-pending petition for rule making before the Media Bureau to create an event radio service and has maintained records relating to its operations in the event that the FCC elects to move forward on the proceeding.
