INCOME TAXES


We had an income tax benefit of $16.6 million (effective tax rate of 12.2%) on a pre-tax loss of $136.4 million in the second quarter of 2011 and an income tax benefit of $15.2 million (effective tax rate of 11.7%) on a pre-tax loss of $129.8 million in the first six months of 2011. The effective tax rate in the second quarter and first six months of 2011 was unfavorably affected because a portion of the charge for the impairment of the Regional Media Group's goodwill is non-deductible.
 
We had an effective income tax rate of 44.6% in the second quarter of 2010. The effective tax rate for the first six months of 2010 was 53.4%, primarily because of a $10.9 million tax charge for the reduction in future tax benefits for certain retiree health benefits resulting from the federal health care reform legislation enacted in March 2010.
