SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION As of May 2, 2002, the date on which shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock first became registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act, all of the shares of Class B Common Stock reported by Ranger and TOH on this Schedule 13D were acquired in connection with the acquisition of the Company in March 1998. Upon the consummation of the acquisition of Sunrise Television Corp. by merger (the "Sunrise Acquisition") on May 2, 2002, the Company issued shares of Class B Common Stock to each of Thomas O. Hicks, Fund III and HM3 Coinvestors. In connection with the merger, each issued and outstanding share of Sunrise Television Corp. automatically converted into the right to receive shares of common stock. As partial consideration for the termination of a monitoring and oversight agreement and the amendment of a financial advisory agreement, in each case between the Company and HM&Co., the Company issued to HM&Co. warrants to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock. Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2002, Fund III and HM3 Coinvestors received shares of Class B Common Stock in exchange for shares 14% redeemable preferred stock of STC Broadcasting, Inc. (a subsidiary of Sunrise Television Corp.) 14% senior subordinated notes of Sunrise Television Corp. that Fund III and HM3 Coinvestors acquired from a third party. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION The shares of Class B Common Stock and the warrants to purchase Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by the Filing Parties are being held by such Filing Parties for investment purposes. Thomas O. Hicks, through the relationships described in Item 5 hereof, may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 47.59% of the Class B Common Stock of the Company. None of the Filing Parties currently has any plan or proposal to acquire or dispose of additional securities of the Company, other than such additional shares of Class B Common Stock as may be issued to them in connection with the Sunrise Acquisition (in the event the Company disposes of certain North Dakota 15 television station assets prior to the time specified in the merger agreement). The Filing Parties will continually review their investment in the Company's securities and, subject to market conditions, general economic conditions, contractual and legal restrictions and other factors, any Filing Party may in the future determine to acquire additional shares of Class B Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Class A Common Stock of the Company or dispose of shares of Class B Common Stock it currently owns. Each Filing Party has agreed with the underwriters in the Company's initial public offering of its Class A Common Stock not offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, or enter into any transaction that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition of any shares of the Company's common stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for shares of the Company's common stock or derivatives of such common stock owned by each Filing Party prior to the initial public offering for a period of 180 days after the effective date of the registration statement regarding such offering without the prior written consent of Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. Except as set forth in this Item 4, the Filing Parties have no present plans or proposals that relate to or that would result in any actions specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D of the Exchange Act.

The Filing Parties would consider electing to convert their respective shares of Class B Common Stock if the legal requirements limiting ownership of interests in broadcast and other media businesses change to permit the ownership of voting interests in the Company or if the Filing Parties dispose of their interests in other broadcast or media businesses that would give rise to legal ownership limitations as a result of such a share conversion.
