FCC Form 312-R Earth Station E010120 License Renewal EXHIBIT 1 – Response to Question 8 By an internal corporate reorganization effectuated February 19, 2002, the licensee of Earth Station E010120, Panhandle Telecasting Limited Partnership (“Panhandle”) was converted from a Texas general partnership to a Texas limited partnership, and a newly created commonly owned corporate entity became Panhandle’s sole general partner (as detailed further below). The internal corporate reorganization did not effect a substantial change in the ultimate ownership or control of the licensee, and was pro forma in nature. While prior authorization was obtained from the FCC’s Media Bureau for the transfer of control of the license of the broadcast television station with which this earth station is associated (see FCC file No. BTCCT-20011207AAF), it appears that the need for a pro forma transfer of the license of Earth Station E010120 may have been inadvertently overlooked. Accordingly, out of an abundance of caution, simultaneously herewith Panhandle has submitted an FCC Form 312 belatedly seeking Commission consent to a pro forma transfer of control of the licensee of Earth Station E010120, and requesting a waiver of the applicable rules. As detailed in that application, Panhandle was previously a Texas general partnership consisting of two partners – KSWO Television Co., Inc. (“KSWO”), with 45% of the general partnership interest, and Lawton Cablevision, Inc. (“LCI”), with a 55% general partnership interest. Robert H. Drewry, William T. Drewry, and Susan Drewry Battaglia are brothers and sister, and together as a family group they control KSWO and LCI. Following the corporate reorganization in 2002, Panhandle was converted to a Texas limited partnership, whose sole general partner is now LCI Television of Texas, Inc., a newly formed and wholly owned subsidiary of LCI. The officers and directors of LCI Television of Texas, Inc. are Robert T. Drewry (Vice President and Director), William T. Drewry (Vice President and Director), and Susan Drewry Battaglia (Secretary and Director). In addition, KSWO and LCI remain the sole limited partners of Panhandle. Accordingly, as the three companies – LCI Television of Texas, Inc.; KSWO; and LCI – all share common ownership and are controlled by the same principals, the corporate change involved was pro forma in nature and did not involve a substantial change in the ultimate ownership or control of the licensee. This minor corporate reorganization involved all the same principals, and thus the real parties in interest remained the same before and after the transfer.
