Washington, D.C. 20554 RE: SES—T/C—20080114—00234 Dear Ms. Spriggs: Pursuant to our conversation, and on behalf of Fox Television Stations, Inc. ("Fox"), please accept this letter as Fox‘s request to withdraw the above—referenced Earth station transfer of control application (the "Application"). The Application, relating to call sign E980499, was filed as a request for consent to a transfer of control of WDAF License, Inc., a sister corporation of Fox, to FoxCo Acquisition Sub, LLC ("Acquisition Sub"). Because call sign E980499 is licensed to Fox, however, the Application should have beenfiled as a request for consent to an assignment oflicense from Fox to Acquisition Sub: — Simultaneous with the submission ofthis letter, Fox is filing with the Commission a newapplication relating to call sign E980499. The new application is substantively identical to the originally—filed Application, except that it seeks consent to assign the license from Fox to Acquisition Sub rather than a transfer of control. The new application relates to the same larger transaction, in which Fox is selling eight broadcast stations to Acquisition Sub, for which the Application originally was filed in January 2008. Fox notes that the Application, as originally filed, was granted on April 16, 2008. Likewise, an associated assignment application filed with the International Bureau, relating to other Earth stations involved in the same transaction

Jeanette D. Spriggs May 9, 2008 Page 2 (SES—ASG—20080114—00247), was granted on April 16, 2008. Given that the new application relating to call sign E980499 involves the same transaction and the same parties previously passed upon bythe Commission, Fox respectfully requests that the Commission grant the new application. Should you have any questions, kindly contact the undersigned. Very truly yours, ared S. Sher Counsel to Fox Television Stations, Inc. cc: Kevin Latek, Esq., counsel to FoxCo Acquisition Sub, LLC 776422—D.C. Server 2A — MSW
