4. Discontinued Operations

On April 3, 2012 we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our Greenville, Mississippi TV station (“WXVT”) for $3 million, subject to certain adjustments, to H3 Communications, LLC (“H3”). We also entered into an Agreement for the Sale of Commercial Time and a Shared Services Agreement (“the Agreements”) with Commonwealth Broadcasting, LLC (“Commonwealth”), that were effective May 1, 2012, whereby Commonwealth, in conjunction with the WXVT sales staff will sell the advertising inventory of WXVT, and WXVT will provide programming and services including but not limited to use of facilities, traffic, billing, engineering, administrative and accounting to Commonwealth. The Agreements remain in effect until the closing of the sale or termination of the sales agreement, whichever is earlier. We do not anticipate this transaction to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. The sale, which is subject to the approval of the Federal Communications Commission, is expected to close in 2012.

In accordance with authoritative guidance we have reported the results of operations of WXVT as discontinued operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. For all previously reported periods, certain amounts in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been reclassified. The assets and liabilities of WXVT have been classified as held for sale and the net results of operations have been reclassified from continuing operations to discontinued operations. WXVT was previously included in the Company’s television segment.
