Form 312 STA Interactivation Health Networks LLC November 2016 EXPLANATION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT Interactivation Health Networks LLC d/b/a The Wellness Network (“TWN”) hereby seeks special temporary authority (“STA”) to operate a new Ku-band satellite earth station facility at Melbourne, Florida, which will allow it to relocate its video uplink facility from Pewaukee, Wisconsin. TWN has filed contemporaneously herewith an application for a long- term license to cover this new facility, an application which must appear on an FCC public notice, and therefore will not be grantable until sometime early next year. TWN is already an FCC licensee, having operated its existing facility in Wisconsin under Call Sign E050184 for over a decade, and the Commission has previously reviewed and approved on multiple occasions its qualifications to operate FCC-licensed satellite earth station facilities. Accordingly, there is no need for delay in granting TWN permission to operate its new antenna on a temporary basis, without prejudice to final action on the pending application. Consistent with the FCC’s Rules concerning authority for use prior to grant, TWN requests an STA for a period of up to 60 days. See 47 C.F.R. §25.120(b)(3). The STA requested here will promote the public interest by allowing TWN begin immediate testing of its new facility and facilitate timely transition of its network operations center from Wisconsin to Florida. Accordingly, TWN respectfully requests that the Commission act on this pre-grant STA request on or before November 28, 2016, in order to permit commencement of operations on that date.
