Page 2 of 2 SCHEDULE 13D This Amendment No. 4, which relates to shares of Series A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Series A Common Stock") of Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and is being filed jointly by The Hearst Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Hearst"), Hearst Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst, and The Hearst Family Trust, a testamentary trust, supplements and amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission on April 4, 1997 (as amended, the "Statement"). ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION. Hearst is currently exploring options to acquire additional shares in the Issuer through privately negotiated transactions. Although there can be no assurance as to when or whether such transactions might occur or the precise number of shares to be acquired, Hearst is currently considering acquiring up to 2 million shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer. Even if Hearst does not acquire such shares at this time, it is expected that Hearst will continually review its equity position in the Issuer from time to time to determine whether or not to acquire additional shares. If such additional acquisitions are made in the future, they may occur through privately negotiated transactions, open market purchases or otherwise.
