12. Description

This application seeks Special Temporary Authority to operate a new satellite news gathering
(SNG), Domestic Satellite Temporary−Fixed (Transportable) Earth Station that will be used in
conjuction with commercial TV Station WBBH−TV, Fort Myers. There is currently a Hurricane
Warning for Fort Myers area. At the time the Hurricane Warning for the Ft. Myers area was issued,
the station and its engineering consultants were preparing full technical information for an
application to license the station’s new SNG facilities, to be filed in the ordinary course in the
coming week. The weather emergency, however, has created an urgent need for the SNG facility to be
put into use prior to the completion of the license application. Accordingly, immediate grant of
the requested STA would serve the public interest by enhancing the station’s coverage of the
weather emergency for the people of Ft. Myers and the surrounding area.
