Re:         Request for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-4
Broadcast International, Inc. (File No. 333-189869)

Pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), Broadcast International, Inc. (the “Company”) hereby requests that the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) consent to the immediate withdrawal of the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-189869) filed with the Commission on July 9, 2013, together with all exhibits thereto, and the Company’s Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-189869) filed with the Commission on August 29, 2013, together with all exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Registration Statement”).

No securities were sold or will be sold under the Registration Statement.

The Company anticipated issuing shares registered pursuant to the Registration Statement in a merger transaction.  The merger agreement pursuant to which such merger transaction would have taken place was terminated on November 4, 2013.  The Company is withdrawing the Registration Statement because the merger transaction will no longer take place and there is no need to register shares therefor.

If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact me at (801) 562-2252.

Sincerely,
 
Broadcast International, Inc.
