Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. FRN: 0009961889 Petition for Reinstatement The Ku‐Band Transmit Only earth station, E030234, licensed to Nexstar Broadcasting, Inc. (“Nexstar”), expired on December 11, 2018. Due to an administrative oversight, the renewal is being late‐filed with the FCC. The instant request for reinstatement was further delayed due to the government shutdown. Nexstar has taken additional steps to avoid future occurrences by expanding its calendaring systems in order to create additional checks and balances. Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 1.3 of the FCC’s rules, it may waive a rule if such action would not undermine the policy objective of the rule and would be in the public interest. See WAIT Radio v. FCC, 418 F.2d 1153, 1157 (D.C. Cir. 1969) and Northeast Cellular Telephone Co. v. FCC, 897 F.2d 1164, 1166 (D.C. Cir. 1990). A grant of the instant application would be in the public interest since it would allow Nexstar to continue broadcast service, which, at times includes relevant community and/or emergency alert information, to its respective viewer communities without interruption. Accordingly, Nexstar respectfully requests that the FCC grant the instant renewal application and request for reinstatement.
