SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 59 on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") relating 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"), is being filed jointly by The Hearst Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Hearst"), Hearst Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hearst Holdings") and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst, Hearst Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hearst Broadcasting") and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst Holdings, and The Hearst Family Trust, a testamentary trust (the "Trust", and together with Hearst, Hearst Holdings and Hearst Broadcasting, the "Reporting Persons"), and supplements and amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission on April 4, 1997 (as amended, the "Statement"). Amendments No. 51 through 55 were filed as part of a Schedule TO-T, originally filed on September 14, 2007, and amended on September 20, 2007, September 25, 2007, October 3, 2007 and October 15, 2007.

Item 3.

Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The aggregate amount of funds used by Hearst Broadcasting to acquire the shares reported in Item 5(c) was $10,420,067. Hearst Broadcasting used its working capital and the working capital of one or more of its affiliates to make such purchases.

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Hearst Broadcasting purchased additional Securities, as reported in Item 5(c) of this Statement, in order to increase its equity interest in the Issuer. See also Item 6.

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b) As of February 5, 2008, the Reporting Persons owned 29,073,904 shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer, 41,298,648 shares of Series B Common Stock and 500,000 of the Series B Preferred Securities (collectively, the “Securities”). Each share of Series B Common Stock of the Issuer is immediately convertible into one share of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer. Therefore, the 41,298,648 shares of Series B Common Stock owned directly by Hearst Broadcasting represent, if converted, 41,298,648 shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer. Each of the Series B Preferred Securities are convertible at the option of Hearst Broadcasting into Series B Subordinated Debentures, on a one-for-one basis. Following such conversion, the Series B Subordinated Debentures are required under the terms thereof to be converted into 986,131 shares of Series A Common Stock. Under the definition of “beneficial ownership” as set forth in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Hearst Broadcasting, Hearst Holdings, Hearst and the Trust are deemed to have beneficial ownership of the Securities and the underlying Series A Common Stock. The Trust, as the owner of all of Hearst’s issued and outstanding common stock, may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting of and disposition of the Securities. Hearst, as the owner of all of Hearst Holdings’ issued and outstanding common stock, may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting of and disposition of the Securities. Hearst Holdings, as the owner of all of Hearst Broadcasting’s issued and outstanding common stock, may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting of and disposition of the Securities. As a result, Hearst Broadcasting, Hearst Holdings, Hearst and the Trust may be deemed to share the power to direct the voting of and the disposition of the Securities. If Hearst Broadcasting were to convert all of its convertible Securities, Hearst Broadcasting would own an approximately 75.3% ownership interest in the Issuer (on a fully diluted basis) based on

the combined number of 93,808,916 outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock reported by the Issuer as being outstanding as of October 31, 2007, as per the Form 10-Q filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 9, 2007.

(c) Since filing Amendment No. 58 to the Statement, Hearst Broadcasting purchased 507,824 shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to open-market purchases conducted under a “written plan for trading securities” within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Further details regarding these purchases are set forth below.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On December 5, 2007, the Board of Directors of Hearst approved the purchase from time to time by Hearst Broadcasting of up to 8 million shares of Series A Common Stock in open market and privately negotiated purchases in order to increase its ownership percentage in the Issuer to approximately 82% (on a fully-diluted basis) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This authorization supersedes all remaining ability to purchase Series A Common Stock under previous authorizations.

If both Hearst Broadcasting and the Issuer decide to purchase Series A Common Stock on the same day, and do so pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, they have agreed to aggregate their purchases, to use a single broker/dealer and to divide any such purchases between them equally.
