         Statement in Support of Application for Special Temporary Authority

       Pursuant to Section 25.120(b) of the Rules, Applicant WXTV License
Partnership, G.P. (“WXTV”) respectfully requests Special Temporary Authority (STA) to
permit the continued operation of Domestic Satellite Temporary Fixed Transmit-Only
Earth Station E030084 (the “Station”) in the same manner as previously authorized (File
No. SES-LIC-20030416-00492), for a period of 180 days or pending completion of
processing of its reinstatement/renewal application, whichever is sooner. Due to
inadvertent oversight, a renewal application was not prepared and submitted prior to the
May 29, 2019 expiration date. Promptly on discovery that this filing deadline had been
overlooked, a reinstatement/renewal application (with petition for reinstatement) was
prepared and is being submitted today under separate cover, during the 30-day grace
period pursuant to Section 25.163 of the Rules.

       The E030084 earth station uplink (utilizing one 1.2 meter AvL Technologies
antenna) transmits news and programming from remote locations, which is essential to
WXTV’s viewers. Continued operation of E030084 pending processing of the
reinstatement/renewal application will serve the public interest by avoiding disruptive
interruption of service to WXTV viewers who rely on the news and information and
entertainment programming.
