     This Amendment No. 6 (this “Amendment No. 6”) amends and supplements the Solicitation/Recommendation Statement filed under cover of Schedule 14D-9 (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule 14D-9”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 2, 2010, by Emmis Communications Corporation, an Indiana corporation (“Emmis”). The Schedule 14D-9 relates to the offer by JS Acquisition, Inc., an Indiana corporation (“JS Acquisition”) whose equity securities are owned entirely by Mr. Jeffrey H. Smulyan, the Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President of Emmis, and JS Acquisition, LLC, an Indiana limited liability company that is wholly owned by Mr. Smulyan (“JS Parent”), to purchase all of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Emmis (the “Shares”), pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 2, 2010 (as amended and supplemented, the “Offer to Purchase”) and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”).

     All capitalized terms used in this Amendment No. 6 without definition have the meanings ascribed to them in this Amendment No. 6 or the Schedule 14D-9.

     The items of the Schedule 14D-9 set forth below are hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 4. The Solicitation or Recommendation.

     Item 4 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented by inserting the following text in its entirety after the last paragraph of “Background and Reasons for the Recommendation of the Board — Background”:

     “In light of the ongoing discussions and negotiations between the representatives of JS Acquisition, Emmis and Alden and the representatives of the Locked-Up Holders as of August 13, 2010, Emmis further extended the Exchange Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 20, 2010 and issued a press release announcing the further extension of the Exchange Offer and the adjournment of the special meeting of Emmis shareholders, which was convened at 6:30 p.m., local time, on Friday, August 13, 2010, at Emmis’ Headquarters, to vote on the Proposed Amendments, until 6:30 p.m., local time, on Friday, August 20, 2010, at Emmis’ Headquarters, and JS Acquisition further extended the Offer and issued a press release announcing the further extension of the Offer until 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on Friday, August 20, 2010. On the same day, Alden consented to the further extension of the Offer and the Exchange Offer pursuant to the terms of the Alden Purchase Agreement. Emmis (with the approval of the Committee) had previously consented to the further extension of the Offer, and JS Parent had previously consented to the further extension of the Exchange Offer, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement. As of August 13, 2010, JS Parent, JS Acquisition and Mr. Smulyan have stated that they expect to continue to negotiate in an effort to reach an agreement with the Locked-Up Holders. There was no assurance that such an agreement would be reached, in which case alternative structures will be explored.”

     On August 16, 2010, JS Acquisition, JS Parent, Mr. Smulyan and Emmis filed an Amendment to their combined Statement on Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 with the SEC with respect to the further extension of the Offer. On that same day, Emmis filed Amendment No. 6 to its Schedule TO/13E-3 with the SEC with respect to the further extension of the Exchange Offer and the adjournment of the special meeting of Emmis shareholders.

     The Amendment to the combined Statement on Schedule TO and Schedule 13E-3 with respect to the Offer is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(xxviii), JS Acquisition’s press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(xxv), the Amendment to the Definitive Proxy Statement/Offer to Exchange is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(xxvii), and Emmis’ press release is filed as Exhibit (a)(1)(xxvi). All four documents are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8. Additional Information.

     Item 8 of the Schedule 14D-9 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

     1. The first paragraph after the last bullet point under the heading “Shareholder Litigation” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

     “The Defendants in the Primich action have until September 3, 2010 to respond to the complaint.”

     2. The last sentence in the penultimate paragraph under the heading “Shareholder Litigation” is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

3

     “By order dated August 11, 2010, the Court approved the stipulation, transferring the Frank case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana. Defendants have until September 3, 2010 to respond to the complaint.”
