Of Note

• Larry Hunt, owner of KGNG-LD Las Vegas NV, has filed a Petition to Deny against the license renewal of KVTE-LD, claiming that KVTE has not broadcast a signal in several years, and that the owners of KVTE have willfully misrepresented the on-air status of the station seven times in the past four years, saying that the station was on-air, when, in fact, it was not. Hunt argues that the willful misrepresentations display a lack of candor in KVTE owners' dealings with the FCC and that the station's license should be canceled. Hunt claims standing because KGNG is being displaced by KTNV and would prefer a UHF channel over a VHF, and that KVTE's long-term non-operational status means a UHF channel is being unnecessarily reserved.
