Re: MB Docket No. 05-317
Dear Mr. Arden:
By letter dated April 13, 2009, MMK License LLC “(Max Media”), licensee of WNKY-DT, 
Bowling Green, Kentucky requested an extension of its waiver of Section 339(a)(2)(D) of the 
Communications Act of 1934, as amended, to prohibit satellite subscribers from receiving or conducting a 
digital signal strength test of WNKY-DT’s digital signal.1 The Commission granted the original digital 
signal testing waiver based on the fact that no satellite carrier is providing the retransmission of the 
analog signals of local broadcast network stations in WNKY’s market.2 The Commission has granted the 
licensee three six-month extensions.3 In its most recent extension request, the licensee states that the 
situation remains unchanged and no satellite carrier is offering local-into-local satellite service in 
WNKY’s market.4
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Max Media’s request IS GRANTED and the first permissible 
date for digital testing for WNKY-DT IS EXTENDED six months, from June 15, 2009 until December 
15, 2009.  If a further extension is needed, a request must be filed by October 15, 2009.
Sincerely,
Barbara A. Kreisman
Chief, Video Division
