ITEM 4. CHANGES IN REGISTRANT’S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

Pursuant to approval by the Board of Directors of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. (“Sinclair”) effective June 24, 2002, we dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP as our independent public accountants and we engaged Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2001 for the Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc. 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the Plan).

Arthur Andersen’s report on the statements of net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan for the years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, and through the date of this Form 8-K/A, there were no disagreements with Arthur Andersen on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to Arthur Andersen’s satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject matter in connection with their report on the Plan’s statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

Sinclair provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures.  Attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of Arthur Andersen’s letter, dated July 8, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements.

During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2000 and 1999, and through the date of this Form 8-K/A, Sinclair did not consult Ernst &Young with respect to the application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Plan’s statements of nets assets available for plan benefits, or any other matters or reportable events as set forth in Items 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
