NOTICE OF VIOLATION

	Released: September 18, 2014

By the District Director, Kansas City Office, South Central Region,
Enforcement Bureau:

* This is a Notice of Violation (Notice) issued pursuant to Section 1.89
of the Commission's rules (Rules) to KM Television of Iowa, LLC, owner of
antenna structure number 1062919 in West Branch, Iowa (Antenna Structure).
Pursuant to Section 1.89(a) of the Rules, issuance of this Notice does
not preclude the Enforcement Bureau from further action if warranted,
including issuing a Notice of Apparent Liability for Forfeiture for the
violation(s) noted herein.

* In response to a complaint regarding a 1000+ foot tall tower that had
been unlit for several years, the Enforcement Bureau's Kansas City Office
initiated an investigation and observed the following violation:

  + 47 C.F.R. § 17.56(a):  "Replacing or repairing of lights, automatic
  indicators or automatic control or alarm systems shall be accomplished
  as soon as practicable."  KM Television admitted in response to an
  LOI that: (1) Antenna Structure lighting outages began in 2007; (2)
  some repairs were made in 2007 but that all of the lights were not
  repaired at that time; (3) it had been notifying the Federal Aviation
  Administration of the light outage every two weeks since then; (4)
  ten out of 13 lights on the Antenna Structure (all but three lights
  on the second and fourth tiers of the structure) were inoperable; and
  (5) the Antenna Structure has been inspected and it is waiting to
  receive proposals for repair work.  Thus, KM Television has failed
  to repair antenna structure lighting for over six and a half years.
  KM Television asserted that it had experienced financial difficulties
  over the past several years.

* Pursuant to Section 403 of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended,
and Section 1.89 of the Rules, we seek additional information concerning
the violations and any remedial actions taken.	Therefore, KM Television
of Iowa, LLC must submit a written statement concerning this matter within
twenty (20) days of release of this Notice.  The response (i) must fully
explain each violation, including all relevant surrounding facts and
circumstances, (ii) must contain a statement of the specific action(s)
taken to correct each violation and preclude recurrence, and (iii) must
include a time line for completion of any pending corrective action(s).
If submitting a time line for completion of any lighting repairs, KM
Television of Iowa, LLC must be cognizant that repairs must be made as
soon as practicable.  The response must be complete in itself and must
not be abbreviated by reference to other communications or answers to
other notices.

* In accordance with Section 1.16 of the Rules, we direct KM Television
of Iowa, LLC to support its response to this Notice with an affidavit or
declaration under penalty of perjury, signed and dated by an authorized
