Anderson Associates Broadcast Engineering Consultants 1 Ownership Study This ownership study is provided as an analysis for the aural broadcast market formed by the modification of WLIV-FM 245A to Algood, TN, FCC facility I.D. 57190. The following stations are commonly owned: WLIV-FM 245A Algood, TN, FCC Facility I.D. 57190 WBXE(FM).CP 229C3 Baxter, TN, 31426 WKXD-FM 295C2 Monterey, TN, 31387 WLIV(AM) 920 kHz Livingston, TN, 70520 WLQK(FM) 240C2 Livingston, TN 73212 WUCT(AM) 1600 kHz Algood, TN, 39797 None of the stations are located within a Nielsen rated market; as a consequence, the permitted common ownership is determined using the contour overlap methodology. The following exhibits include the city grade contours, 3.16 mV/m (70 dBu) (FM) and 5 mV/m (AM), of all stations intersecting any of the mutually overlapping stations, including noncommercial facilities, and exclude any commonly owned stations which do not mutually overlap the defined market. Exhibit E-1 shows a reference plot of the commonly owned stations. The common ownership forms a single market of 31 stations, which are plotted and listed in exhibits E- 2 and E-3. 1 Anderson Associates Broadcast Engineering Consultants 1 Following the rules provided by CFR §73.3555(a)(1)(ii), the common ownership of the stations in the defined market is permissible. __________________________________ Christopher Anderson February 15, 2021 [email protected] © 2021 by Anderson Associates 2 E-1 WLIV-FM 245A Reference Plot - All Commonly-Owned WLIV-FM.AP (245) ©2020 Anderson Associates WBXE.CP (229) WKXD-FM (295) WLQK(FM) (240) WLIV(AM) WUCT(AM) WLIV(AM) WUCT(AM) WLIV-FM.AP WBXE.CP WLQK(FM) WKXD-FM Scale 1:500,000 km 0 7 14 21 V-Soft Communications LLC ® © E-2 Ownership Market Plot Reference ©2020 Anderson Associates WLIV-FM.AP WBXE(FM).CP WKXD-FM WLQK(FM) WSBI WLIV(AM) WUCT(AM) WVFB WOFE WOCG WDEB-FM WLIV(AM) WUCZ WCLC-FM WWOG WUCT(AM)WLQK(FM) WECO-FM WTTU WGSQ WHUB WLIV-FM.APWRIM WPTNWKSW WBXE(FM).CP WHRS WKXD-FM WOWF WPBX WSMT WAEW WJLEWJLE-FM WTZX WCSV WIHG Scale 1:600,000 km 0 8 16 24 V-Soft Communications LLC ® © E-3 Ownership Market List Total number of overlapping contours = 31. 4 FM + 1 AM permitted.
