The above-referenced programming streams are the same number of programming streams,
and in the same resolutions as, the programming streams that KSAT-TV is currently broadcasting
on its own 1.0 facility prior to transitioning to 3.0. Accordingly, the Licensee is not seeking to
license more capacity on the Host Stations, in the aggregate, than KSAT-TV would use if it were
still operating its own facility in 1.0.
The attached contour overlay maps demonstrate the above-referenced predicted
percentages of population within the noise limited service contour served by KSAT-TV’s original
1.0 signal that are served by the Host Stations. The maps also demonstrate that KSAT-TV’s
multicast streams, as carried on the Host Stations, will continue to serve the KSAT-TV community
of license, San Antonio.
All Host Stations are assigned to the San Antonio Nielsen DMA.

KSAT-TV, San Antonio, Texas
Facility ID No. 53118
Graham Media Group, San Antonio, Inc.
KSAT-TV relies on its MeTV (12.2) multicast stream in order to comply with the
Commission’s children’s television programming requirements. As referenced in the chart above,
the Host Station for KSAT-TV’s MeTV (12.2) multicast stream, KVDA, serves more than 95
percent of the predicted population served by KSAT’s pre-transition 1.0 signal, and accordingly,
KSAT-TV may continue to rely on its MeTV (12.2) multicast stream for children’s programming
compliance pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 73.3801(i)(3). KSAT-TV does not rely on any other multicast
stream for children’s programming compliance.
The Licensee has provided the required notifications to viewers and the relevant MVPD
distributors.
Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 73.3801(f)(6)(i)(D), this ATSC 1.0 Host Exhibit is available on
KSAT-TV’s public website at the following link: https://www.ksat.com/station/2020/12/22/fcc-
