Mandarin language programming at no cost. The extension of the STA preserves the current
service received by these listeners while the Underlying Application is being processed. The
Commission has previously determined that the Station is eligible to receive programming from
U.S. entities and has concluded that the Station is operating within its operating parameters and
does not cause unlawful interference.2

       As noted in the Underlying Application, the Station is currently licensed to W3 Comm
Concesionaria, S.A. de CV. (“W3 Comm Concesionaria”). Authorization Holder currently
owns 49.00% of the issued and outstanding shares in W3 Comm Concesionaria and 99% of the
equity of W3 Comm Inmobiliaria, S.A. de CV. (“W3 Comm Inmobiliaria”) which holds the
operating assets of the Station in Mexico. Authorization Holder provides programming to the
Station pursuant to a Station Programming and Sales Agreement dated January 25, 2006
(“Programming Agreement”), a copy of which is currently on file with the Commission.

        There have been no changes in the technical operating parameters of the Station into the
United States since 2007 when the Original Permit was granted (which includes the period since
the Current STA has been in effect). W3 Comm Concesionaria remains the Authorization Holder
of the Station and W3 Comm Inmobiliaria continues to own the Mexican operating assets.

       Payment for the required filing fee is being submitted using the Commission’s fee filer
system. Should you have any questions regarding this matter, please contact the undersigned.
