 Re:        Special Temporary Authority Request — Earth Station Call Sign E000329

Dear Ms. Dortch:

        As a result of iHeartMedia, Inc.‘s ("IHM") recent application to modify its FCC Radio Station
Authorization for Earth Station Call Sign EO00329, dated March 11, 2015 (see SES—MOD—20150311—00140),
iHeartMedia, Inc., pursuant to Section 25.120 of the Commission‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. §25.120, hereby
requests special temporary authorization ("STA") for consent to continue operation of its Ku—band
antennas that are licensed under Call Sign E000329 from its headquarter network operations center in
San Antonio, Texas, pending Commission action on the application for modification of E000329, for a
period of 60 days starting on April 1, 2015. In light of its decision to downsize its operations in Englewood,
CO, IHM plans to transition its operations facilities down to San Antonio, Texas on April 7, 2015, pending
Commission action.

        On March 11, 2015, IHM submitted an online application to modify its Earth Station Call Sign
E000329 (see SES—MOD—20150311—00140). IHM‘s application for Modification of License involves requests
for the termination/deletion of several inactive Site IDs, the authorization to add an antenna, the legal
name change of the Licensee, the renaming of one Site ID and Antenna Facility, the designation of new
remote control points at already—licensed Site IDs, the migration of several Site IDs to License #E050143
(also licensed to IHM), relocation of Site IDs to reflect address changes to the anchor location from which
those antennas are deployed and a change to select emission designators.

        The immediate concern of the instant STA request is the relocation of select antenna facilities and
the addition of a 4.5m Suman antenna at Site ID CCITSMN2_4100. Specifically, IHM requests special
temporary authority to operate the 4.5m Suman antenna (Antenna ID IHMITSM45100 in SES—MOD—
20150311—00140) so as to provide service continuity to its radio station disaster recovery VSAT network,

which provides for continued operations of their AM and FM radio stations when terrestrial connectivity
fails during a disaster, or otherwise, and supports continuous operation of many primary and participating
EAS stations.

        IHM maintains a primary station location for a number of temporary transportable antennas that
are deployed for occasional use purposes (these are NOT fixed stations). IHM would like to relocate the
base location for two Site IDs (though, all antenna—specific information shall remain the same):

         Grant of the instant STA request will serve the public interest by allowing iHeartMedia‘s currently
existing telecommunications services (including services that support emergency alert notifications and
distribution of news and other programming to thousands of radio stations nationwide) to continue to
operate with uninterrupted service.

        iHeartMedia, Inc. seeks STA pending Commission action in order to authorize IHM to continue to
provide service continuity to its customers, and the public, that rely on its Ku—band facilities. The E000329
earth station facilities are used as part of the IHM network of satellite facilities that distributes
programming to more than two thousand radio stations around the country. The network programming
includes weather reports and news regarding significant local, regional and national developments. In
addition, the E000329 facilities support a disaster recovery VSAT network that enables continuous
operations of radio stations where terrestrial connectivity has been interrupted by local, regional, or
national emergencies or disasters.

          Grant of the requested authority will not adversely affect any other party. iHeartMedia, Inc. will
continue to comply with the terms of its current EOOO0329 license, which did not require coordination with
other authorized users.
