Re: Interference Acceptance – KSTR, Dallas, TX

Dear Mr. Wood:

KTPN-LD, Tyler, Texas (the “Station”), a MyNetworkTV affiliate low power licensed to Warwick Communications, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of White Knight , Inc., is authorized to operate on Channel 48 in the Tyler-Longview (Lfkn&Ncgd), TX Designated Market Area (“DMA”). The Station is currently silent (See FCC LMS File No. 00000068468). The Station’s MyNetworkTV programming is now carried in the DMA on the digital subchannel of commonly owned KFXK-TV, Longview, Texas.

It is our understanding that Unimas Dallas LLC (“Unimas”) intends to submit a Request for a DTV Experimental Special Temporary Authority (“STA”) in connection with the deployment of a single frequency network (“SFN”) associated with KSTR-DT, Irving, Texas. Unimas’ proposed SFN operation will utilize Channel 48 in connection with the conversion of KSTR-DT’s transmission facilities pursuant to the ATSC 3.0 transmission standard, which was recently authorized by the Commission. See FCC LMS File No. 0000063555. The proposed STA is intended to supplement the recently granted authorization to effectuate the KSTR-DT ATSC 3.0 conversion. Three sites in addition to the main KSTR-DT transmission site will comprise the SFN.

Based upon predicted signal reach of the KSTR’s signal and the SFN nodes, KTPN-LD may receive interference in excess of that allowable under FCC rules. Interference prediction is 2.2% of KTPN’s audience.

We reviewed Unimas’ STA and, on behalf of White Knight Broadcasting, Inc, acknowledge and accept the potential interference caused to the KTPN-LD signal as a result of the above described operations.

Sincerely,

Anthony J. Malara, III Director, President & Secretary
