INDEPENDENCE ROCK MEDIA, LLC KEGE(FM)/KHEX(FM) ASSIGNMENT OF LICENSE APPLICATION DECEMBER, 2020

MULTIPLE OWNRSHIP SHOWING

Independence Rock Media, LLC (IRM) has reached agreements with the widow of the late broadcaster Tom F. Huth to acquire a total of nine primary broadcast stations that operate in four separate markets:

Red Bluff-Gerber, California (Tehama County):

1. KBLF(AM), Red Bluff, California, FIN 48853 2. KRAC(AM), Red Bluff, California, FIN 54978 3. KTOR(FM), Gerber, California, FIN 82891

Susanville, California (Lassen County):

1. KAJK(FM), Susanville, California, FIN 162465 2. KGXX(FM), Susanville, California, FIN 183357 3. KLZN(AM), Susanville, California, FIN 160277

Hamilton City-Concow, California (Glenn and Butte Counties):

1. KHEX(FM), Concow, California, FIN 31618 2. KEGE(FM), Hamilton City, California, FIN 164155

Willows, California (Glenn County):

1. KIQS(AM), Willows, California, FIN 34941

There is attached as Figure A a map of northern California prepared by engineering consultant Kevin Youngers of Greeley, Colorado which shows the city-

Page 1 of 4 grade contours of these nine stations, that shows the four separate market areas.

Tehama, Lassen and Glenn Counties are outside Nielsen rated “radio metro

markets”. Butte County is in the Nielsen-defined Chico, California radio metro

market.

The Hamilton City-Concow market appears to implicate both methods of

determining a radio market under FCC rules and policies. Neither KEGE nor KHEX

appears to have a city-grade contour which includes the city of Chico, and KHEX is

licensed to Hamilton City, which is in Glenn County, which is believed not to be in

any Nielsen-radio market. Therefore, we hereby demonstrate that IRM’s acquisition

of KEGE and KHEX comply with both the city-grade contour overlap method and

also with the Nielsen radio metro market method, as Butte County comprises the

Chico radio metro market.

We attach as Figure B a map which shows the contours of primary radio

stations that overlap with the stations IRM seeks to acquire in the Hamilton City-

Concow market (defined by the city-grade contours of KEGE and KHEX). There

are at least ten such primary stations licensed to third parties which have city-grade

contour overlap with either KAJK, KGXX and/or KLZN :

Therefore, IRM’s acquisition of KEGE(FM) and KHEX(FM) complies with both Section 73.3555(a)(iii) and Section 73.3555(a)(iv), as it would only own two

FM stations that serve portions of the Chico radio metro market, when it could own a maximum of 6 primary broadcast stations (4 in any one service) in said market; and in any event, IRM would own less than 50% of the radio stations if it is considered to operate in a market of 14 stations or less.
