Dear Sir or Madam:

My name is Veronica Gulley and I am the media director for A Call to 
Excellence Ministries located in North Little Rock, Arkansas.  I am the 
producer of A Call to Excellence Ministries' nationally syndicated half-hour 
weekly Bible teaching program entitled: A Call to Excellence.  We are 
currently airing on KVTN (Channel 25) in Little Rock, Arkansas and on Daystar 
(KMPX Channel 29) in Dallas, Texas. 

The purpose of my letter to you is to request an exemption of the Closed 
Captioning Requirements for 2004.  We are requesting an exemption because of 
financial difficulties that we are presently experiencing in A Call to 
Excellence Ministries.  We just received notice that Daystar in Dallas, Texas 
is requiring that our program be closed captioned beginning January 1, 2004. 

A Call to Excellence Ministries is funded strictly through the generous 
donations of our congregation and viewers of the telecast.  However, 
contributions were very low in 2003 due to the economy, and we experienced a 
substantial loss of income. 

However, after comparing prices on closed captioning from local and out of 
state vendors, we are not able to provide the closed captioning requirements 
for 2004.  The cost will average over $55,000 in one year at current rates and 
tremendously over exceed our budget.  We simply cannot afford the cost at this 
time. 

In order to continue to air in Dallas, Texas, I am asking that you review my 
request in being exempt for the closed captioning requirement for 2004.  You 
may contact me at (501) 791-0600 Ext. 2125 if you have any questions.  Thank 
you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you. 

Sincerely,

/s/
Veronica Gulley
Media Director
