Relationship with NBCU and GE Equity	Relationship with NBCU, Comcast and GE Equity Relationship with GE Equity, Comcast and NBCU The Company is a party to an amended and restated shareholder agreement, dated February 25, 2009 (the "GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement"), with GE Capital Equity Investments, Inc. (“GE Equity”) and NBCUniversal Media, LLC ("NBCU"), which provides for certain corporate governance and standstill matters (as described further below). NBCU is an indirect subsidiary of Comcast Corporation ("Comcast"). The Company believes that as of January 30, 2016, the direct equity ownership of GE Equity in the Company consisted of 3,545,049 shares of common stock, and the direct ownership of NBCU in the Company consists of 7,141,849 shares of common stock. The Company has a significant cable distribution agreement with Comcast and believe that the terms of the agreement are comparable to those with other cable system operators. General Electric Company ("GE"), the parent company of GE Equity, has agreed with Comcast that, for so long as GE Equity is entitled to appoint at least two members of the Company's board of directors, NBCU will be entitled to retain a board seat provided that NBCU beneficially owns at least 5% of the Company's adjusted outstanding common stock (as computed under the amended and restated shareholders agreement described below). Furthermore, GE has also agreed to obtain the consent of NBCU prior to consenting to the Company's adoption of any shareholders rights plan or certain other actions that would impede or restrict the ability of NBCU to acquire or dispose of shares of the Company's voting stock or taking any action that would result in NBCU being deemed to be in violation of the Federal Communications Commission multiple ownership regulations. As of January 30, 2016 GE Equity has an approximate 6% beneficial ownership in the Company. In an SEC filing made on August 18, 2015, GE Equity disclosed that on August 14, 2015, it and ASF Radio, L.P. ("ASF Radio"), an independent third party to the Company, entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement pursuant to which GE Equity agreed to sell 3,545,049 shares of the Company's common stock, which is all of the shares GE Equity currently owns, to ASF Radio for $2.15 per share. The closing of the sale is subject to certain conditions and was scheduled for October 15, 2015. According to the SEC filing, ASF Radio is an affiliate of Ardian, an independent private equity investment company. As of March 28, 2016, the sale has not yet closed. Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement provides that GE Equity is entitled to designate nominees for three members of the Company’s board of directors so long as the aggregate beneficial ownership of GE Equity and NBCU (and their affiliates) is at least equal to 50% of their beneficial ownership as of February 25, 2009 (i.e., beneficial ownership of approximately 8.7 million common shares) (the "50% Ownership Condition"), and two members of the Company's board of directors so long as their aggregate beneficial ownership is at least 10% of the shares of "adjusted outstanding common stock," as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement (the "10% Ownership Condition). In addition, the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement provides that GE Equity may designate any of its director-designees to be an observer of the audit, human resources and compensation, and corporate governance and nominating committees of the Company's board of directors. Neither GE Equity nor NBCU currently has any designees serving on our board of directors or committees. Upon the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale, the 50% Ownership Condition will no longer be met; however, the Company expects that the 10% Ownership Condition will continue to be met and therefore, following the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale, NBCU and its affiliates will continue to be entitled to designate nominees for two members of the Company's board of directors. The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement requires that we obtain the consent of GE Equity before the Company (i) exceed certain thresholds relating to the issuance of securities, the payment of dividends, the repurchase or redemption of common stock, acquisitions (including investments and joint ventures) or dispositions, and the incurrence of debt; (ii) enter into any business different than what the Company and its subsidiaries are currently engaged; and (iii) amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to adversely affect GE Equity and NBCU (or their affiliates); provided, however, that these restrictions will no longer apply when both (1) GE Equity is no longer entitled to designate three director nominees and (2) GE Equity and NBCU no longer hold any Series B preferred stock. The Company is also prohibited from taking any action that would cause any ownership interest by the Company in television broadcast stations from being attributable to GE Equity, NBCU or their affiliates. The Company redeemed all of the Series B preferred stock in April 2011 and, upon the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale, the 50% Ownership Condition will no longer be met. Therefore, GE Equity will no longer be entitled to these consent rights following the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale. The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement further provides that during the "standstill period" (as described below), subject to certain limited exceptions, GE Equity and NBCU are prohibited from: (i) making any asset/business purchases from the Company in excess of 10% of the total fair market value of the Company’s assets; (ii) increasing their beneficial ownership above 39.9% of the Company's shares; (iii) making or in any way participating in any solicitation of proxies; (iv) depositing any securities of the Company in a voting trust; (v) forming, joining or in any way becoming a member of a "13D Group" with respect to any voting securities of the Company; (vi) arranging any financing for, or providing any financing commitment specifically for, the purchase of any voting securities of the Company; or (vii) otherwise acting, whether alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company any tender or exchange offer, merger, business combination, restructuring, liquidation, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company, or nominating any person as a director of the Company who is not nominated by the then incumbent directors, or proposing any matter to be voted upon by the Company’s shareholders. If, during the standstill period, any inquiry has been made regarding a "takeover transaction" or "change in control," each as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement, that has not been rejected by the Company’s board of directors, or the Company’s board of directors pursues such a transaction, or engages in negotiations or provides information to a third party and the board of directors has not resolved to terminate such discussions, then GE Equity or NBCU may propose to the Company a tender offer or business combination proposal. In addition, unless GE Equity and NBCU beneficially own less than 5% or more than 90% of the adjusted outstanding shares of common stock, GE Equity and NBCU may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company subject to limited exceptions for (i) transfers to affiliates, (ii) third party tender offers, (iii) mergers, consolidations and reorganizations and (iv) transfers pursuant to underwritten public offerings or transfers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (provided, in the case of (iii), such transfers do not result in the transferee acquiring beneficial ownership in excess of 10% (or 20%in the case of a transfer by NBCU)). As discussed above, we believe that NBCU owns more than 5% but less than 90% of the adjusted outstanding shares of our common stock and therefore, NBCU will remain subject to these restrictions following the consummation of the GE/ASF Radio Sale. The standstill period will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the ten-year anniversary of the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement, (ii) the Company entering into an agreement that would result in a "change in control" (as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement and subject to reinstatement), (iii) an actual "change in control" (subject to reinstatement), (iv) a third-party tender offer (subject to reinstatement), or (v) six months after GE Equity can no longer designate any nominees to the Company’s board of directors. Following the expiration of the standstill period pursuant to clause (i) above and two years in the case of clause (v) above, GE Equity and NBCU’s beneficial ownership position may not exceed 39.9% of the Company’s adjusted outstanding shares of common stock, except pursuant to issuances or exercises of any warrants or pursuant to a 100% tender offer for the Company. Registration Rights Agreement On February 25, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement providing GE Equity, NBCU and their affiliates and any transferees and assigns, an aggregate of four demand registrations and unlimited piggy-back registration rights. In addition, NBCU was subsequently granted one additional demand registration right pursuant to the second amendment of the now expired NBCU trademark license agreement. 2015 Letter Agreement with GE Equity On July 9, 2015, the Company entered into a letter agreement with GE Equity pursuant to which GE Equity consented to our adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan in consideration for our agreement to provide GE Equity, NBCU and certain of their respective affiliates with exemptions from the Shareholder Rights Plan. GE’s consent was required pursuant to the terms of the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement. This discussion is a summary of the terms of the letter agreement. For more information about the Shareholder Rights Plan see Note 11. In the letter agreement, the Company agreed that if any of GE Equity, NBCU or any of their respective affiliates that holds shares of our common stock from time to time (each a “Grandfathered Investor”) sells or otherwise transfers shares of our common stock currently owned by such Grandfathered Investor to any third party identified to us in writing (any such third party, a “Exempt Purchaser”), we will take all actions necessary under the Shareholder Rights Plan so that such third party will not be deemed an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan) by virtue of the acquisition of such shares. The Company further agreed that, subject to certain limitations, upon request of any Grandfathered Investor or Exempt Purchaser, and in connection with a transfer by such Grandfathered Investor or Exempt Purchaser of shares of the Company's common stock to an Exempt Purchaser, the Company will enter into an agreement with the acquiring Exempt Purchaser granting such acquiring Exempt Purchaser substantially the same rights as set forth above with respect to any sale of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock to any other third party. Additionally, the Company agreed that without the consent of any Grandfathered Investor that is an affiliate of GE Equity and any Grandfathered Investor that is an affiliate of NBCU, the Company will not (i) amend the Shareholder Rights Plan in any material respect, other than to accelerate the Expiration Date or the Final Expiration Date, (ii) adopt another shareholders' rights plan or (iii) amend the letter agreement. As of January 30, 2016, Comcast, through NBCU, held approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and GE Equity held approximately 6% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Consequently, the letter agreement with GE Equity may significantly limit the Company's ability to grant exemptions from the Plan to other shareholders. The foregoing summaries of the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and the 2015 letter agreement with GE Equity do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which have been filed as exhibits to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

Furthermore, GE has also agreed to obtain the consent of NBCU prior to consenting to the Company's adoption of any shareholders rights plan or certain other actions that would impede or restrict the ability of NBCU to acquire or dispose of shares of the Company's voting stock or taking any action that would result in NBCU being deemed to be in violation of the Federal Communications Commission multiple ownership regulations. As of January 30, 2016 GE Equity has an approximate 6% beneficial ownership in the Company.

According to the SEC filing, ASF Radio is an affiliate of Ardian, an independent private equity investment company. As of March 28, 2016, the sale has not yet closed.

Amended and Restated Shareholder Agreement

The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement provides that GE Equity is entitled to designate nominees for three members of the Company’s board of directors so long as the aggregate beneficial ownership of GE Equity and NBCU (and their affiliates) is at least equal to 50% of their beneficial ownership as of February 25, 2009 (i.e., beneficial ownership of approximately 8.7 million common shares) (the "50% Ownership Condition"), and two members of the Company's board of directors so long as their aggregate beneficial ownership is at least 10% of the shares of "adjusted outstanding common stock," as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement (the "10% Ownership Condition). In addition, the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement provides that GE Equity may designate any of its director-designees to be an observer of the audit, human resources and compensation, and corporate governance and nominating committees of the Company's board of directors. Neither GE Equity nor NBCU currently has any designees serving on our board of directors or committees. Upon the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale, the 50% Ownership Condition will no longer be met; however, the Company expects that the 10% Ownership Condition will continue to be met and therefore, following the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale, NBCU and its affiliates will continue to be entitled to designate nominees for two members of the Company's board of directors.

The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement requires that we obtain the consent of GE Equity before the Company (i) exceed certain thresholds relating to the issuance of securities, the payment of dividends, the repurchase or redemption of common stock, acquisitions (including investments and joint ventures) or dispositions, and the incurrence of debt; (ii) enter into any business different than what the Company and its subsidiaries are currently engaged; and (iii) amend the Company’s articles of incorporation to adversely affect GE Equity and NBCU (or their affiliates); provided, however, that these restrictions will no longer apply when both (1) GE Equity is no longer entitled to designate three director nominees and (2) GE Equity and NBCU no longer hold any Series B preferred stock. The Company is also prohibited from taking any action that would cause any ownership interest by the Company in television broadcast stations from being attributable to GE Equity, NBCU or their affiliates. The Company redeemed all of the Series B preferred stock in April 2011 and, upon the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale, the 50% Ownership Condition will no longer be met. Therefore, GE Equity will no longer be entitled to these consent rights following the closing of the GE/ASF Radio Sale.

The GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement further provides that during the "standstill period" (as described below), subject to certain limited exceptions, GE Equity and NBCU are prohibited from: (i) making any asset/business purchases from the Company in excess of 10% of the total fair market value of the Company’s assets; (ii) increasing their beneficial ownership above 39.9% of the Company's shares; (iii) making or in any way participating in any solicitation of proxies; (iv) depositing any securities of the Company in a voting trust; (v) forming, joining or in any way becoming a member of a "13D Group" with respect to any voting securities of the Company; (vi) arranging any financing for, or providing any financing commitment specifically for, the purchase of any voting securities of the Company; or (vii) otherwise acting, whether alone or in concert with others, to seek to propose to the Company any tender or exchange offer, merger, business combination, restructuring, liquidation, recapitalization or similar transaction involving the Company, or nominating any person as a director of the Company who is not nominated by the then incumbent directors, or proposing any matter to be voted upon by the Company’s shareholders. If, during the standstill period, any inquiry has been made regarding a "takeover transaction" or "change in control," each as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement, that has not been rejected by the Company’s board of directors, or the Company’s board of directors pursues such a transaction, or engages in negotiations or provides information to a third party and the board of directors has not resolved to terminate such discussions, then GE Equity or NBCU may propose to the Company a tender offer or business combination proposal.

In addition, unless GE Equity and NBCU beneficially own less than 5% or more than 90% of the adjusted outstanding shares of common stock, GE Equity and NBCU may not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any securities of the Company subject to limited exceptions for (i) transfers to affiliates, (ii) third party tender offers, (iii) mergers, consolidations and reorganizations and (iv) transfers pursuant to underwritten public offerings or transfers exempt from registration under the Securities Act (provided, in the case of (iii), such transfers do not result in the transferee acquiring beneficial ownership in excess of 10% (or 20%in the case of a transfer by NBCU)). As discussed above, we believe that NBCU owns more than 5% but less than 90% of the adjusted outstanding shares of our common stock and therefore, NBCU will remain subject to these restrictions following the consummation of the GE/ASF Radio Sale.

The standstill period will terminate on the earliest to occur of (i) the ten-year anniversary of the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement, (ii) the Company entering into an agreement that would result in a "change in control" (as defined in the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement and subject to reinstatement), (iii) an actual "change in control" (subject to reinstatement), (iv) a third-party tender offer (subject to reinstatement), or (v) six months after GE Equity can no longer designate any nominees to the Company’s board of directors. Following the expiration of the standstill period pursuant to clause (i) above and two years in the case of clause (v) above, GE Equity and NBCU’s beneficial ownership position may not exceed 39.9% of the Company’s adjusted outstanding shares of common stock, except pursuant to issuances or exercises of any warrants or pursuant to a 100% tender offer for the Company.

Registration Rights Agreement

On February 25, 2009, the Company entered into an amended and restated registration rights agreement providing GE Equity, NBCU and their affiliates and any transferees and assigns, an aggregate of four demand registrations and unlimited piggy-back registration rights. In addition, NBCU was subsequently granted one additional demand registration right pursuant to the second amendment of the now expired NBCU trademark license agreement.

2015 Letter Agreement with GE Equity

On July 9, 2015, the Company entered into a letter agreement with GE Equity pursuant to which GE Equity consented to our adoption of a Shareholder Rights Plan in consideration for our agreement to provide GE Equity, NBCU and certain of their respective affiliates with exemptions from the Shareholder Rights Plan. GE’s consent was required pursuant to the terms of the GE/NBCU Shareholder Agreement. This discussion is a summary of the terms of the letter agreement. For more information about the Shareholder Rights Plan see Note 11.

In the letter agreement, the Company agreed that if any of GE Equity, NBCU or any of their respective affiliates that holds shares of our common stock from time to time (each a “Grandfathered Investor”) sells or otherwise transfers shares of our common stock currently owned by such Grandfathered Investor to any third party identified to us in writing (any such third party, a “Exempt Purchaser”), we will take all actions necessary under the Shareholder Rights Plan so that such third party will not be deemed an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Shareholder Rights Plan) by virtue of the acquisition of such shares. The Company further agreed that, subject to certain limitations, upon request of any Grandfathered Investor or Exempt Purchaser, and in connection with a transfer by such Grandfathered Investor or Exempt Purchaser of shares of the Company's common stock to an Exempt Purchaser, the Company will enter into an agreement with the acquiring Exempt Purchaser granting such acquiring Exempt Purchaser substantially the same rights as set forth above with respect to any sale of the Company's outstanding shares of common stock to any other third party. Additionally, the Company agreed that without the consent of any Grandfathered Investor that is an affiliate of GE Equity and any Grandfathered Investor that is an affiliate of NBCU, the Company will not (i) amend the Shareholder Rights Plan in any material respect, other than to accelerate the Expiration Date or the Final Expiration Date, (ii) adopt another shareholders' rights plan or (iii) amend the letter agreement.

As of January 30, 2016, Comcast, through NBCU, held approximately 12.5% of the Company’s outstanding common stock and GE Equity held approximately 6% of the Company's outstanding common stock. Consequently, the letter agreement with GE Equity may significantly limit the Company's ability to grant exemptions from the Plan to other shareholders.
