                                EXPLANATORY STATEMENT


        Radio License Holding CBC, LLC ("RLH CBC") hereby requests special temporary
authority ("STA") to operate two existing temporary fixed—satellite earth stations (Call Signs
E020134 and EOS50378) in advance of FCC action on its pending application for assignment of
the earth station authorizations from Citadel Broadcasting Company, Debtor—in—Possession ("CB
Company") to RLH CBC. The Assignment Application was filed on April 7, 2010 (FCC File
No. SES—ASG—INTR2010—01097); however, the FCC did not issue public notice of the
application and as a result, the application is still pending.

        CB Company is a wholly—owned subsidiary of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, Debtor—
in—Possession ("Citadel"). On December 20, 2009, Citadel, together with its subsidiaries, filed
voluntary petitions ("Petifions") in the United States Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District
of New York ("Bankruptcy Court") seeking relief under the provisions of chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code to effectuate a pre—negotiated restructuring of its debt obligations.      On May
17, 2010 the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the Second Modified Joint Plan of Reorganization.
Citadel plans to emerge from bankruptcy as soon as possible. The Commission has already
granted its consent to transfer of control of Citadel‘s 228 radio station licenses from Citadel to
Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (as Reorganized) ("Reorganized Citadel"). Upon emergence
from bankruptcy, RLH CBC will be an indirect, wholly—owned subsidiary of Reorganized
Citadel. The Commission has already had an opportunity to review and approve Reorganized
Citadel‘s qualifications to operate FCC—licensed facilities, and there is no need for delay in
granting it permission to operate an additional facility on a temporary basis.

       Moreover, RLH CBC has a near term need to operate the earth stations to transmit news
and information programming. Accordingly, RLH CBC seeks expedited grant of an STA to
permit it to proceed with its plans. It respectfully requests that action on this STA application be
completed by Friday, May 28, 2010, if possible. RLH CBC anticipates that the underlying
assignment application will be granted during the effective period of the requested STA. See
47 C.F.R. § 25.120(b).
