Construction Permits and STAs Requested

• KDFQ-LP 47 Prescott (HC2 Network Inc.) has requested a six-month extension of its Silent STA, claiming that it expects to be on the air by October 28.
• KDOS-LD 29.x Globe (KTVW License Partnership GP) has requested a six-month extension of its Silent STA while it awaits FCC approval of its request to operate on RF channel 19.
• K28MO-D Gila River Indian Co (Gila River Telecommunications Inc.) has responded to an FCC notice of interference in its attempt to move to the South Mountain antenna farm and to maximize its signal. The notice claimed over 90% interference to co-channel station KCOS-LP, operating from Usery Mountain. However, according to prior Arizona TV Station Updates, KCOS-LP has not been operational since March 2008, more than eleven years. Gila River has provided evidence that the station no longer exists, and testimony from the tower owner that KCOS's lease on the Usery Nountain tower expired in 2011, and was never renewed. Gila River is appealing for the FCC to cancel the license of KCOS-LP and ignore the station in interference calculations. The appeal is justified; the license for KCOS-LP should have been canceled ten years ago.
• K41IO-D Las Vegas NV (Enlace Christian Television Inc.) has requested a six-month extension of its Silent STA while it builds out its displacement facility on RF channel 30.
