GoLp Coast BROADCAsTING LLC ols January 30", 2009 Scott Kotler, Chief System Analysis Branch Satellite Division International Bureau Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street SW Washington, DC 20554 Re: Request for a 60 day Special Temporary Authority (STA) Dear Mr. Kotler, Pursuant to Section 25.120(a) of the Rules and Regulations ("Regulations") of the Federal Communications Commission, Gold Coast Broadcasting, LLC ("Gold Coast") seeks consideration for a request for 60 day Special Temporary Authority ("STA") to operate a new earth station in Ventura, CA. Gold Coast is requesting a 60 day STA to start satellite operations while their permanent FSS Ku—band application (SES—LIC—20090116—00048/E090008) is currently pending on Public Notice with the Commission. Some of Gold Coast‘s transmitter sites are in physically remote or rugged locations that are experiencing severe interruptions, drop—outs, poor fidelity and multipath, and other quality of service problems with their existing terrestrial or off—air links to Gold Coast‘s studios. These areas are so remote ~ or rugged, or distant from Telco switches, that broadband (wireless or wired) links are unavailable as an alternative. The quality and reliability of these signals has become totally unacceptable, especially for emergency services in areas that are prone to wildfires and flash floods. It is presently the very height of the wildfire season in Southern California, and the flash—flood season is also about to commence (flash— floods often occur in burn areas after wildfires). ‘ Gold Coast believes that it is essential for it to replace its problematical terrestrial and off—air links with satellite links immediately in order to be able to continue to provide the high quality of news, information and emergency services that the public expects and relies on Gold Coast to provide during such disasters in its service area. Gold Coast accordingly urgently requests that a 60—day STA be granted so that the reliability of its emergency services to the public in remote areas can be improved immediately. Thank you for your attention and help in this matter. Vagry truly yours, ~ Alvin Souder~ Vice President of Managing Member: 715 Broapway, Suite 320 San‘ta MONICA, CaLIFORNIa 90401 TEL: 310—451—4430 Fax: 310—451—1423
