While the temperature at the start was 36 degrees Fahrenheit, it was the wind that would be the hardest obstacle for the day. Winds from the north ranged from 36-40 mph. For every step I took forward, it felt as if I were getting pushed back three steps.

The Audio Division has before it a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Triad Broadcasting Company, LLC (“Triad Broadcasting”) and a Petition for Reconsideration filed by Enderlin Broadcasting Company (“Enderlin Broadcasting”) both directed to the Report and Order in this proceeding.1 Clear Channel Broadcasting Licenses, Inc. (“Clear Channel”) filed a Consolidated Opposition to Petitions for Reconsideration. Triad Broadcasting and Enderlin Broadcasting each filed a Reply to the Consolidated Opposition. For the reasons discussed below, we grant reconsideration, allot Channel 233C1 to Enderlin, North Dakota, and revise the reference coordinates for the Channel 236C1 allotment at Barnesville, Minnesota. Background 2. At the request of T&J Broadcasting, former licensee of Station KRVI (formerly KFGX), Channel 236C1, Detroit Lakes, Minnesota, the Report and Order reallotted Channel 236C1 to Barnesville, Minnesota, and modified the Station KRVI license to specify Barnesville as its community of license.2 This would provide Barnesville, population of 2,066, with a first local service. In doing so, the Report and Order denied a counterproposal filed by Enderlin Broadcasting proposing the allotment of Channel 233C1 to Enderlin, North Dakota, as a first local service. The Report and Order also rejected an argument advanced by Triad Broadcasting that due to proximity of the Fargo-Moorhead Urbanized Area, the proposed reallotment to Barnesville is not entitled to consideration as a first local service.3 1 Detroit Lakes and Barnesville, Minnesota, and Enderlin, North Dakota, 16 FCC Rcd 22581 (M.M.

  • Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018
    Minnesota Emergency Alert System Statewide Plan 2018 MINNESOTA EAS STATEWIDE PLAN Revision 10 Basic Plan 01/31/2019 I. REASON FOR PLAN The State of Minnesota is subject to major emergencies and disasters, natural, technological and criminal, which can pose a significant threat to the health and safety of the public. The ability to provide citizens with timely emergency information is a priority of emergency managers statewide. The Emergency Alert System (EAS) was developed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to provide emergency information to the public via television, radio, cable systems and wire line providers. The Integrated Public Alert and Warning System, (IPAWS) was created by FEMA to aid in the distribution of emergency messaging to the public via the internet and mobile devices. It is intended that the EAS combined with IPAWS be capable of alerting the general public reliably and effectively. This plan was written to explain who can originate EAS alerts and how and under what circumstances these alerts are distributed via the EAS and IPAWS. II. PURPOSE AND OBJECTIVES OF PLAN A. Purpose When emergencies and disasters occur, rapid and effective dissemination of essential information can significantly help to reduce loss of life and property. The EAS and IPAWS were designed to provide this type of information. However; these systems will only work through a coordinated effort. The purpose of this plan is to establish a standardized, integrated EAS & IPAWS communications protocol capable of facilitating the rapid dissemination of emergency information to the public. B. Objectives 1. Describe the EAS administrative structure within Minnesota. (See Section V) 2.
