Notwithstanding the grant of this Special Temporary Authority, the broadcast license for Station KTFS(AM) will automatically expire as a matter of law if broadcast operations do not commence by 12:01 a.m., December 22, 2012." - Lisa A. Scanlan, Assistant Chief, Audio Division, Media Bureau, FCC

    In a slow silent walk
    With an old horse that stumbles and nods
    Half asleep as they stalk.
