LIN TV Corp.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation

LIN TV Corp. (“LIN TV”), together with its subsidiaries, including LIN Television Corporation (“LIN Television”), is a television station group operator in the United States. LIN TV and its subsidiaries are affiliates of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Incorporated, now known as HM Capital Partners LLC (“Hicks Muse”). In these notes, the terms “Company,” “LIN TV,” “we,” “us” or “our” mean LIN TV Corp. and all subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements.

We guarantee all of LIN Television’s debt. All of the consolidated 100%-owned subsidiaries of LIN Television fully and unconditionally guarantee all our debt on a joint and several basis.

Certain changes in classifications have been made to the prior period financial statements to conform to the current financial statement presentation. On March 30, 2007, we sold the Puerto Rico operations to InterMedia Partners VII, L.P., for $131.9 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment. Our consolidated financial statements reflect the operations, assets and liabilities of the Puerto Rico operations as discontinued under the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144 “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” (“SFAS 144”) for all periods presented.

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations including the year end condensed balance sheet data, which was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. We included audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2006 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the SEC on March 15, 2007.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The interim results of operations are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year.

In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 46 (“FIN 46R”), “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities — an Interpretation of ARB No. 51,” our 50%, non-voting interest in Banks Broadcasting, Inc. was consolidated in our financial statements effective March 31, 2004 and our interest in KASA-TV was consolidated in our financial statements effective July 26, 2006 (see Note 2 for further discussion of KASA-TV.)

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our actual results could differ from these estimates. Estimates are used when accounting for the collectability of receivables, valuation of intangible assets, amortization of program rights, stock-based compensation, pension costs, barter transactions and net assets of businesses acquired.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

Note 2 — Acquisitions

KASA-TV Station Acquisition

On July 26, 2006, we signed a definitive agreement to acquire the operating assets, including the broadcast licenses, of KASA-TV, the FOX affiliate in Albuquerque from Raycom Media for $55.0 million in cash. On September 15, 2006, we began providing programming, sales and other related services to the station under a local marketing agreement. The acquisition was completed on February 22, 2007, (the “KASA-TV Acquisition”). We closed the studio facilities of KASA-TV and relocated them to KRQE-TV, the television station we already owned in Albuquerque, thereby eliminating certain operating costs of KASA-TV’s studio facilities and other redundant operating costs of the combined station operations. In addition, we began providing news programming to KASA-TV through KRQE-TV. KASA-TV had previously received news production services from another local television station in the Albuquerque market at a higher cost.

As required under FIN 46R, our Company, as the primary beneficiary of KASA-TV, consolidated KASA-TV’s assets and liabilities into our financial statements effective July 26, 2006. Because the nature of the transaction is that of an asset purchase, in accordance with SFAS 141 “Business Combinations” (“SFAS No. 141”), the purchase price was allocated to KASA-TV’s operating assets and liabilities to be acquired by us based on the preliminary estimates of fair value at July 26, 2006. A final valuation was performed to assess the values of the assets and liabilities purchased, including property, plant and equipment, program rights and obligations and intangible assets and program rights liabilities. The excess of the purchase price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill in the amount of $12.0 million.

Acquisition Reserves

In connection with our acquisitions of television stations and local marketing agreements, we recorded certain accruals and liabilities relating to employee severance costs, buy-out of operating agreements and other transaction costs. The following summarizes the activity related to acquisition reserves for the six months ended June 30, 2007 (in thousands):

Puerto Rico Operations (WAPA-TV, WJPX-TV and WAPA America)

LIN TV Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

On March 30, 2007, we sold the Puerto Rico operations to InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. for $131.9 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment, and, as a result, we recorded a gain on the sale of $22.7 million, net of income tax benefit, in our 2007 operating results. During the second quarter of 2007, the gain we recorded of $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2007, was adjusted downward by $0.4 million to reverse the minimum pension liability previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan for the Puerto Rico operation.

Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect the operations, assets and liabilities of the Puerto Rico operations as discontinued under the provisions of SFAS 144 for all periods presented.

Joint Venture with NBC Universal: We own a 20.38% interest in Station Venture Holdings, LLC, a joint venture with NBC Universal, and account for our interest using the equity method, as we do not have a controlling interest. We received distributions of $0.4 million and $1.0 million from the joint venture for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and received distributions of $1.4 million and $2.0 million from the joint venture for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following presents the summarized financial information of the NBC Universal joint venture (in thousands):

Our members’ deficit account in the financial statements of Station Venture Holdings, LLC was $824.8 million as of June 30, 2007. The difference between the carrying value of our investment and this amount is a permanent accounting item and results from the fair valuation of this investment in connection with the formation of our Company in 1998.

WAND(TV) Partnership: We have a 33.33% interest in the WAND(TV) Partnership, the balance of which is owned by Block Communications. We account for our interest

LIN TV Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

using the equity method, as we do not have a controlling interest. We received distributions of $0.7 million from the partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007. We did not receive any distributions from the partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006. Pursuant to a management services agreement with WAND(TV) Partnership, we provide specified management, engineering and related services for a fixed fee. Included in this agreement is a cash management arrangement under which we incur expenditures on behalf of WAND(TV) Partnership and are periodically reimbursed. Amounts due to us from WAND(TV) Partnership under this arrangement were approximately $154,000 and $1.1 million as of June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, respectively. On April 12, 2007, we provided written notice to Block Communications that we were terminating the management services agreement effective as of July 11, 2007. Termination of the management services agreement caused Block Communications to exercise its call right on our interest in the WAND(TV) Partnership. Upon exercise of the call, the parties agreed to negotiate the fair market value of our interest in the WAND(TV) Partnership and close on the sale of our interests within a certain period of time thereafter.

We recorded an impairment charge of $333.6 million during the second quarter of 2006 that included a broadcast license impairment charge of $238.3 million relating to fifteen of our television stations and a goodwill impairment charge of $95.3 million. As required by SFAS 142, No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), we tested our unamortized intangible assets as of June 30, 2006, which was between annual tests, because we believed based upon the continued decline in the trading price of our class A common stock and the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units would fall below their carrying amounts. We performed our test of our broadcast licenses and goodwill for impairments as of June 30, 2006. We used market information not available as of December 31, 2005 to calculate the fair value of our broadcast licenses and reporting units. The impairment tests as of June 30, 2006 used the same assumptions as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except that the operating profit margins ranged from 25.6% to 52.9%.

Note 7 – Stock-Based Compensation

We granted options to purchase 420,000 and 753,000 shares of our class A common stock during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and granted options to purchase 708,000 and 753,000 shares of our class A common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. We

LIN TV Corp.

granted 491 shares and 301,000 shares of stock awards during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and granted 987 shares and 302,000 shares of stock awards during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006 there were unvested restricted stock awards forfeited of 8,000 and 15,000 shares, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, there were unvested restricted stock awards forfeited of 95,000 and 42,000 shares, respectively. The number of shares forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2007 was higher compared to the prior year due to our fourth quarter 2006 restructuring charge (see Note 13).

Note 8— Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is the total net income (loss) and all other non-owner changes in stockholders’ equity.

Note 9 – Derivative Financial Instruments

The 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures have certain embedded derivative features that are required to be separately identified and recorded at fair value with a mark-to-market adjustment required each quarter. The fair value of these derivatives on issuance of the debentures was $21.1 million and this amount was recorded as an original issue discount and is being accreted through interest expense over the period to May 2008. The derivative features are recorded at a fair market value of $0.6 million in other liabilities on our balance sheet at June 30, 2007. We recorded a loss on these derivative features of approximately $0.5 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and recorded a loss of approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with the mark-to-market of these derivative features.

LIN TV Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

During the second quarter of 2006, we entered into a contract to hedge the variability in cash flow associated with $100 million of our credit facility. The interest payments under our credit facility term loans are based on LIBOR plus a margin. To protect our cash flows resulting from changes in interest rates, we entered into a $100 million notional principal interest rate swap that effectively converted the floating rate LIBOR-based payments to fixed payments at 5.33% plus the margin calculated under our credit facility agreement, which expires in November 2011. In accordance with SFAS No. 133 “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”, as amended (“SFAS No. 133”), we recorded a liability for the present value of the increase in interest over the remaining term of our credit facility agreement of approximately $26,000 as of June 30, 2007. This amount is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of $10,000 in taxes, as we have designated the contract as a cash flow hedge. This amount will be released into earnings over the life of the swap agreement through periodic interest payments.

During the second quarter of 2005, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement in the notional amount of $100.0 million to manage exposure to interest rate risk associated with the variable rate portion of our credit facility. This agreement was not designated as a hedging instrument under SFAS No. 133. We recorded a loss on this derivative instrument of $3.0 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, respectively, as a result of fluctuations in market interest rates. This interest rate swap agreement was sold in the second quarter of 2006. The gain on the settlement of the interest rate swap agreement of $2.8 million was recorded in the loss (gain) on derivative instruments on our financial statements.

Note 10— Retirement Plans

401(k) Plan

We provide a defined contribution plan (“401(k) Plan”) to almost all of our employees. We make contributions to our 40(k) Plan on behalf of employee groups that are not covered by our defined benefit retirement plan. Contributions made by us vest based on the employee’s years of service. Vesting occurs in 20% annual increments until the employee is 100% vested after five years. We match 50% of the employee’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s total annual compensation. We contributed $0.8 million to the 401(k) Plan in each of the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and contributed $1.5 million to the 401(k) Plan in each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Retirement Plans

We have a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan covering a certain number of our employees. Contributions for traditional participants are based on periodic actuarial valuations and are charged to operations on a systematic basis over the expected average remaining service lives of current employees. The net pension expense is assessed in accordance with the advice of professionally qualified actuaries. The benefits under the defined benefit plans are based on years of service and compensation. Contributions for cash balance participants are based on 5% of

LIN TV Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

each participant’s eligible compensation and are made quarterly to each participant’s account.

We expect to contribute a total of $3.0 million during 2007.

We also maintain a non-qualified, unfunded Supplemental Excess Retirement Plan from which we paid out a total of $3,000 and $4,000 to retired employees during the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and paid out a total of $6,000 to retired employees in each of the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Note 11 – Income Taxes

We recorded a provision for income taxes of $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a benefit of $92.2 million for the same period last year and recorded a provision of $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a benefit of $93.9 million for the same period last year. Our annual effective income tax rate was 45.3% and 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

On January 1, 2007, we adopted the provisions of FIN 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” an interpretation of SFAS No. 109 (“SFAS 109”) “Accounting for Income Taxes,” clarifying the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with SFAS 109. This statement prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribution for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. As a result of the implementation of FIN 48, we did not recognize any liability for unrecognized income tax benefits and we recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense. As of June 30, 2007, we had not accrued any such amounts related to uncertain tax positions. We file numerous consolidated and separate entity income tax returns in the U.S.,

LIN TV Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

Puerto Rico, and state jurisdictions. Tax years 2003-2006 remain open to examination by major taxing jurisdictions.

Note 12— Income (loss) per Share

Basic and diluted income (loss) per common share are computed in accordance with SFAS No. 128 “Earnings per Share”. Basic income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, there is no difference between basic and diluted income (loss) per share since potential common shares from the assumed conversion of contingently convertible debt and from the exercises of stock options and phantom units are anti-dilutive and therefore, are excluded from the calculation of income (loss) per share.

Options to purchase 3,649,000 and 1,473,000 shares of common stock and phantom units were outstanding as of June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and were exercisable into 1,529,000 and 139,000 shares of common stock for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and were exercisable into 1,272,000 and 155,000 shares of common stock for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The exercisable shares of common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 were not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share because the effect of their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive. Unvested restricted stock awards of 775,000 and 1,544,000 were outstanding at June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The weighted value of the 1,544,000 unvested restricted stock awards outstanding at June 30, 3006 was not included in the calculation of diluted loss per share for the three or six months ended June 30, 2006 because the effect of its inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Note 13 — Restructuring Benefit

During the fourth quarter of 2006, we initiated a plan to centralize accounting for all of our 29 owned and/or operated stations and to eliminate or reduce other identified costs. The plan included a workforce reduction of 81 employees primarily from station accounting offices. Accordingly, we recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge for the year ended December 31, 2006 of approximately $4.7 million. Charges incurred in relation to the reorganization plan were accounted for under SFAS No. 146 “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.” At December 31, 2006, the balance of the restructuring reserve liability was $4.3 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, we accrued an additional $0.4 million of temporary help costs incurred as we transition from a decentralized to a centralized accounting operation and we adjusted our accrual by $0.3 million to reduce anticipated severance costs for employees that remained with us in new positions. Also, during the six months ended June 30, 2007, we paid approximately $2.7 million of these severance and contractual costs. We expect to pay the remaining severance and related balance of approximately $1.4 million within the next three months and the remaining contractual and other balance of approximately $0.2 million over the next four years.

The activity for the restructuring reserve liability for the six months ended June 30, 2007 is as follows (in thousands):

Note 14— Contingencies

GECC Note

In connection with the formation of the joint venture with NBC Universal, General Electric Capital Corporation (“GECC”) provided an $815.5 million 25-year non-amortizing senior secured note bearing an initial interest rate of 8.0% per annum until March 2, 2013 and 9% per annum thereafter. The joint venture has historically produced cash flows to support the interest payments and to maintain minimum

LIN TV Corp.
Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements–(Continued)

levels of required working capital reserves. In addition, the joint venture has made cash distributions to our Company and to NBC Universal from the excess cash generated by the joint venture of approximately $28.3 million on average each year during the past three years. Accordingly, we expect that the interest payments on the GECC Note will be serviced solely by the cash flow of the joint venture. The GECC Note is not an obligation of ours, but has recourse to the joint venture, our Company’s equity interests therein and to our Company pursuant to a guarantee. If the joint venture were to default on its obligations and became unable to pay principal or interest on the GECC Note and GECC could not otherwise be repaid its money from the joint venture, GECC could require us to pay the shortfall of any outstanding amounts under the GECC Note. If this happened, our Company could experience material adverse consequences, including:

•

GECC could force us to sell the stock of LIN Television held by us to satisfy outstanding amounts under the GECC Note;

•

if more than 50% of the ownership of LIN Television had to be sold to satisfy the GECC Note, it could cause an acceleration of our credit facility and other outstanding indebtedness; or

•

if the GECC Note is prepaid because of an acceleration on default or otherwise, or if the note is repaid at maturity, our Company may incur a substantial tax liability.

The joint venture is approximately 80% owned by NBC Universal. NBC Universal controls the operations of the stations through a management contract. Therefore, the operation and profitability of those stations and the likelihood of a default under the GECC Note are primarily within NBC Universal’s control.

Note 15 – Share Repurchase Program

On August 17, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our class A common stock. Share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased 1,437,700 shares of our class A common stock for $13.2 million and an aggregate of 1,806,428 shares of our class A common stock for $18.0 million since the inception of the program. We did not repurchase any shares during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

made after evaluating the existence of conditions outlined in FSP 48-1. FSP 48-1 is to be adopted upon initial application of FIN 48, and if FIN 48 has already been adopted, as in our case, we are to retrospectively apply FIN 48 using the guidance outlined in FSP 48-1. Because we did not recognize any tax benefits or record any liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits upon our adoption of FIN 48, the retrospective application of FIN 48-1 using the guidance in FSP 48-1, will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 39-1 “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39” (“FSP 39-1”) to amend FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts” (“FIN 39”). The amendments allow a reporting entity to make an accounting policy decision to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instrument(s) recognized at fair value if the derivative(s) are executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement, as defined in FIN 39. A reporting entity’s decision to offset or not must be consistently applied and should be disclosed. The entity must also disclose the separate amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral under master netting arrangements. FSP 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect FSP 39-1 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt FSP 39-1 effective January 1, 2008.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (“SFAS 159”) “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of SFAS No. 115,” which is effective the first fiscal year that begins after November 15, 2007. SFAS 159 permits us to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. We do not expect SFAS 159 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We plan to adopt SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008.

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (“SFAS 157”) “Fair Value Measurements,” which is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 for all companies. The objective of SFAS 157 is to define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and expand disclosures concerning a company’s fair value measurements. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS 157 will have on our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt SFAS 157 effective January 1, 2008.

Executive Summary

Our Company owns and operates and/or programs 29 television stations in 17 mid-sized markets in the United States. Our operating revenues are derived primarily from the sale of advertising time to local and national advertisers and, to a much lesser extent, from other broadcast-related activities, including compensation paid by networks for the broadcast of their programming and subscriber fees earned from fee-based television services.

We recorded net income of $3.5 million and net loss of $244.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and recorded net income of $24.2 million and net loss of $248.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The following are some of the key developments in our operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007:

	•		Net revenues increased 2% primarily due to the KASA-TV Acquisition and increases in local airtime sales and digital revenue, offset largely by decreases in political revenue and national airtime sales.

	•		Operating costs decreased 68% as compared to last year as a result of;

	o		a 2006 second quarter impairment charge of $ 333.6 million comprised of a broadcast license impairment charge of $238.3 million and a goodwill impairment charge of $95.3 million,

	o		2006 second quarter severance costs related to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer of $6.9 million,

	o		reduced depreciation and amortization expenses and lower program amortization and corporate expense during 2007, offset by

	o		increased costs in 2007 as a result of the KASA-TV Acquisition.

	•		On February 22, 2007 we completed the KASA-TV Acquisition for a total purchase price of $55.0 million in cash.

	•		On March 30, 2007, we completed the sale of the Puerto Rico operations for a total sales price of $131.9 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment.

	•		On March 30, 2007 we used the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico operations to repay $70.0 million of our term loans and to repay borrowings incurred to fund the KASA-TV Acquisition.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis–(Continued)

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Certain of our accounting policies, as well as estimates that we make, are critical to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations since they are particularly sensitive to our judgment. Some of these policies and estimates relate to matters that are inherently uncertain. The estimates and judgments we make affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates, including those related to intangible assets, bad debts, program rights, income taxes, stock-based compensation, pensions, contingencies and litigation. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, and it is possible that such differences could have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. For a more detailed explanation of the judgments made in these areas and a discussion of our accounting policies, refer to “Critical Accounting Policies, Estimates and Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements” included in Item 7 and “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies” (Note 1) included in Item 15 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006. Since December 31, 2006, there have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 48-1 “Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48” (“FSP 48-1”), to amend FASB Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”), by defining what constitutes an “ultimate settlement” and “ultimately settled” as used in FIN 48 relative to previously unrecognized tax benefits where the only factor preventing recognition of a tax benefit was the completion of an examination or audit by a taxing authority. The guidance in FSP 48-1 states that ultimate settlement can occur upon examination by a taxing authority. The FSP cautions that a decision whether ultimate settlement has occurred is a matter of judgment and should be made after evaluating the existence of conditions outlined in FSP 48-1. FSP 48-1 is to be adopted upon initial application of FIN 48, and if FIN 48 has already been adopted, as in our case, we are to retrospectively apply FIN 48 using the guidance outlined in FSP 48-1. Because we did not recognize any tax benefits or record any liabilities for unrecognized income tax benefits upon our adoption of FIN 48, the retrospective application of FIN 48-1 using the guidance in FSP 48-1, will have no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2007, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (FSP) 39-1 “Amendment of FASB Interpretation No. 39” (“FSP 39-1”) to amend FASB Interpretation No. 39, “Offsetting

Management’s Discussion and Analysis–(Continued)

of Amounts Related to Certain Contracts” (“FIN 39”). The amendments allow a reporting entity to make an accounting policy decision to offset fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments and fair value amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral arising from derivative instrument(s) recognized at fair value if the derivative(s) are executed with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement, as defined in FIN 39. A reporting entity’s decision to offset or not must be consistently applied and should be disclosed. The entity must also disclose the separate amounts recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral or the obligation to return cash collateral under master netting arrangements. FSP 39-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We do not expect FSP 39-1 to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will adopt FSP 39-1 effective January 1, 2008.

Results of Operations

Set forth below are key components that contributed to our operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

Our results of operations from period to period are affected by the impact of consolidating KASA-TV, effective July 26, 2006, in accordance with FIN 46R. As a result, our future reported financial results may not be comparable to the historical financial information and comparisons of any period may not be indicative of future financial performance.

Our consolidated financial statements reflect the operations, assets and liabilities of the Puerto Rico operations as discontinued under the provisions of SFAS 144 for all periods presented.

Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively are as follows (in thousands):

Period Comparison

Net revenues consist primarily of national, local and political advertising revenues, net of sales adjustments and agency commissions. Additional amounts are generated from Internet revenues, retransmission consent fees, barter revenues, network compensation, production revenues and tower rental income.

Net revenues increased 1%, or $0.6 million, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the three months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to: (a) an increase of $3.7 million related to the KASA-TV Acquisition, (b) an increase in digital revenue, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $1.5 million, (c) a decrease in sales-related agency commissions, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $1.1 million, (d) an increase in network compensation, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $0.5 million and (e) an increase in local airtime sales, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $0.3 million, partially offset by (e) a decrease in political revenue of $4.1 million and (f) a decrease in national airtime sales, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $2.2 million. The decrease in national airtime sales was due in large part to lower spending by automotive advertisers in the second quarter of 2007 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in political revenues in 2007 is a result of having fewer Congressional, state and local elections than in 2006.

Net revenues increased 2%, or $3.1 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared with the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increase was primarily due to: (a) an increase in net revenues of $6.9 million related to the KASA-TV Acquisition, (b) an increase in local airtime sales, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $2.7 million, (c) an increase in digital revenue, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $2.3 million, (d) a decrease in sales-related agency commissions, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $1.6 million and (e) an increase in network compensation, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition, of $0.5 million, partially offset by (f) a decrease in political revenue of $5.4 million and (g) a

Management’s Discussion and Analysis–(Continued)

decrease in national airtime sales, excluding the impact of the KASA-TV Acquisition of $5.3 million. The decrease in political revenues in 2007 is a result of having fewer Congressional, state and local elections than in 2006. The decrease in national airtime sales was due in large part to lower spending by automotive advertisers in the first half of 2007 compared to the same period last year.

Local advertising revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, increased 3% and 5%, respectively, over the comparable period last year. Local advertising revenue has become increasingly important to our industry and is typically a more stable source of revenue than national advertising revenue. Our Company operates the number one or number two local news stations in 82% of our markets.

Operating Costs and Expenses

Direct operating expenses (excluding depreciation and amortization of intangible assets), which consists primarily of news, engineering, programming and music licensing costs, increased $1.6 million, or 6%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. The increase is due to additional operating expenses from the KASA-TV Acquisition of $0.7 million, an increase in employee compensation of $0.4 million, or 2%, over the prior year and smaller increases in barter expense and network affiliation expense totaling $0.5 million.

Direct operating expenses increased $2.6 million, or 5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to additional operating expenses from the KASA-TV Acquisition of $1.5 million and an increase in employee compensation and other costs of $1.1 million, or 3%, compared to the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses, consisting primarily of employee salaries, sales commissions, employee benefit costs, advertising, promotional expenses and research, remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. Decreases in contractual costs barter expenses, legal fees and stock-based compensation totaling $1.3 million were offset by increases due to additional operating expenses from the KASA-TV Acquisition of $0.8 million and an increase in compensation cost and employee benefit costs of $0.5 million, or 5%, compared to the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $0.6 million, or 1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. Decreases in contractual costs, barter expense and legal costs, totaling $1.7 million, and other smaller increases in property taxes, bad debt expense and stock-based compensation, totaling $1.2 million, were partially offset by additional operating expenses from the KASA-TV Acquisition of $1.4 million and an increase in compensation cost and employee benefit costs of $0.9 million, or 2%, compared to the same period last year.

Amortization of program rights, which represent costs associated with the amortization of syndicated programming, features and specials, remained relatively unchanged for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and decreased $0.3 million, or 2%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods last year.

Corporate expenses, which represent costs associated with the centralized management of our stations, decreased $7.0 million, or 54%, and $7.6 million, or 41%,

LIN TV Corp.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis–(Continued)

for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods last year due primarily to reductions in corporate costs from the second quarter of 2006, which included severance costs of $6.9 million, including $1.3 million of stock-based compensation, related to the retirement of our former Chief Executive Officer.

Depreciation and amortization of intangible assets decreased $0.3 million, or 3%, and $2.0 million, or 10%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods last year. These decreases are due to lower amortization expense related to short-lived intangible assets that became fully amortized in 2006.

Impairment of intangible assets and goodwill recognized during the second quarter of 2006 included a broadcast license impairment charge of $238.3 million relating to fifteen of our television stations and a goodwill impairment charge of $95.3 million. As required by SFAS 142, we tested our unamortized intangible assets as of June 30, 2006, which was between annual tests, because we believed, based upon the continued decline in the trading price of our class A common stock and the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer, it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units would fall below their carrying amounts. We performed our test of our broadcast licenses and goodwill for impairments as of June 30, 2006. We used market information not available as of December 31, 2005 to calculate the fair value of our broadcast licenses and reporting units. The impairment tests as of June 30, 2006 used the same assumptions as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except that the operating profit margins ranged from 25.6% to 52.9%.

Restructuring charge recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 of $188,000 and $91,000, respectively, related to temporary help costs incurred as we transition from a decentralized to a centralized accounting operation, offset by severance costs that were forfeited by certain employees upon transferring to other employment opportunities within our Company.

Other Expense (Income)

Interest expense, net decreased $1.7 million, or 10%, for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in average borrowings outstanding as a result of the $70.0 million prepayment of our term loans under our credit facility made during the first quarter of 2007.

Interest expense, net decreased $0.5 million, or 1%, for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year due to a decrease in average borrowings outstanding, partially offset by higher average credit facility interest rates, which are based on the LIBOR rate plus an applicable margin rate defined in the credit facility agreement and an increase in other interest costs of $0.5 million due to finance charges related to the KASA-TV Acquisition during the first quarter of 2007.

Share of (income) loss in equity investments increased $1.6 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods last year due to fluctuations in the operating results for the joint venture with NBC Universal and the second quarter 2006 impairment charge of $5.9 million relating to the broadcast license of WAND(TV).

Loss on derivative instruments arising from mark-to-market valuation changes were $0.5 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $0.5 million for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The change in the loss on derivative instruments in the second quarter 2007 compared to the same period last year was due to fluctuations in market interest rates, offset by the settlement on the sale of an interest rate swap agreement of $2.8 million recorded in the second quarter of 2006.

During 2007, these instruments consisted of the embedded derivatives within our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures. During 2006, these instruments consisted of the embedded derivatives within our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures and an interest rate swap arrangement which we

entered into during the second quarter of 2005 and settled during the second quarter of 2006.

Other items included a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007, which related to the first quarter 2007 write-off of unamortized financing fees in connection with the prepayment of $70.0 million of the term loans under our credit facility as a result of the sale of the Puerto Rico operations. In the second quarter of 2006, a $5.0 million loss was included in other, net related to the impairment of our investment in U.S. Digital Television LLC (“USDTV”), which filed for bankruptcy protection on July 11, 2006.

Provision for income taxes increased $95.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a benefit of $92.2 million for the same period last year and increased $96.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to a benefit of $93.9 million for the same period last year. The increase in our provision for each of the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2007 was a result of the $333.6 million impairment charge of intangible assets and goodwill we recorded in the second quarter of 2006. Our annual effective income tax rate was 45.3% and 27.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively. The increase in the effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2006 was primarily a result of deferred state tax expense in the six months ended June 30, 2007 and a non-recurring impairment charge of intangible assets and goodwill we recorded in the six months ended June 30, 2006.

Results of Discontinued Operations

On March 30, 2007, we sold the Puerto Rico operations to InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. for $131.9 million in cash, subject to a working capital adjustment and, as a result, we recorded a gain on the sale of $22.7 million, net of income tax benefit, in our 2007 operating results. During the second quarter of 2007, the gain we recorded of $23.1 million in the first quarter of 2007 was adjusted downward by $0.4 million to reverse the minimum pension liability previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan for the Puerto Rico operations.

The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities of the Puerto Rico operations segregated on our balance sheet as “Held for Sale” under the provisions of SFAS 144, are as follows (in thousands):

(1)		We are obligated to repay our credit facility on November 4, 2011, each of our 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes and 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes — Class B on May 15, 2013 and our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures on May 1, 2033. However, the holders of our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures can require us to purchase all or a portion of the debentures on each of May 15, 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023 and 2028.

(2)		We are obligated to make mandatory quarterly payments on the $205.0 million term loan under our credit facility beginning December 2007. We have contractual obligations to pay cash interest on our credit facility, as well as commitment fees of approximately 0.50% on our revolving credit facility through 2011, and on each of our 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes through 2013, our 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes — Class B and our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures. We are obligated to pay contingent interest to holders of our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures during any six-month period commencing May 15, 2008, if the average trading price of the debentures for a five trading day measurement period immediately preceding the first day of the applicable six-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the debentures. The contingent interest to be paid would equal 0.25% per annum per $1,000 principal amount of debentures.

(3)		We have entered into commitments for future syndicated news, entertainment, and sports programming. We have recorded $28.8 million of program obligations as of June 30, 2007 and have unrecorded commitments of $56.6 million for programming that is not available to air as of June 30, 2007.

(4)		We lease land, buildings, vehicles and equipment under non-cancelable operating lease agreements.

(5)		We have entered into a variety of operating agreements used in the operation of our stations including rating services, consulting and research services, news video services, news weather services, marketing services and other operating contracts under non-cancelable operating agreements.

(6)		We have entered into local marketing agreements to provide programming, sales and other related services to KNVA-TV for a fixed amount totaling $0.3 million as of June 30, 2007.

(7)		As a result of our 2006 restructuring charge we are committed to payments for future severance and other contractual costs of approximately $1.6 million as of June 30, 2007.

The cash obligations above exclude our defined benefit retirement plans, deferred taxes and executive compensation due to the uncertainty of the future cash flow associated with these items. Additional information regarding our financial commitments at June 30, 2007 is provided in the notes to our consolidated financial statements. See Note 6 “Debt”, Note 10 “Retirement Plans” and Note 14 “Contingencies” of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Summary of Cash Flows

The following presents summarized cash flow information for the six months ended June 30, (in thousands):


	Six months ended
	June 30,				Increase (Decrease)
	2007		2006		$		%
Cash (used in) provided by operating activities	$	(884)	$	14,296		(15,180)	-106%
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities		73,701		(5,836)		79,537	1363%
Cash used in financing activities		(68,472)		(8,024)		(60,448)	-753%


Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	4,345	$	436	$	3,909	897%

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $15.2 million to $0.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. This decrease was primarily the result of $ 11.3 million more cash utilized by our discontinued operations and $11.3 million more cash utilized from changes in our operating assets and liabilities during the six months ended June 30, 2007 than was used in the same period last year, partially offset by $7.4 million more cash provided during the six months ended June 30, 2007, than was used in the same period last year, from net income (loss) after adjustments to reconcile net income (loss) to net cash provided by operating activities. The increase in cash utilized from changes in our operating assets and liabilities is primarily due to a $10.9 million decrease in accounts payable related to invoices for capital expenditures accrued in 2006 and paid in 2007 and a $10.4 million decrease in accrued compensation as a result of severance and bonus payments accrued in 2006 and paid in the first quarter of 2007, partially offset by $9.2 million in cash provided by changes in accounts receivable during the six months ended June 30, 2007 as compared to the same period last year. The increase in cash from changes in accounts receivable is primarily a result of increased collections during the current year.

Net cash provided by investing activities increased $79.5 million to $73.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to cash used in investing activities of $5.8 million for the same period last year. The increase was due to the $131.9 million in net proceeds received from the sale of the Puerto Rico operations during the three months ended March 31, 2007, partially offset by $52.3 million paid in connection with for the KASA-TV Acquisition during the same three month period. The purchase price for the KASA-TV Acquisition was $55.0 million in cash of which $2.7 million was paid as a refundable deposit in the third quarter of 2006.

Net cash used in financing activities increased $60.4 million to $68.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to the same period last year. The increase was due to the pay-down of our term loans using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico operations, offset by the additional borrowings under our revolving loan facility in the first quarter of 2007 to fund the KASA-TV Acquisition, which was also paid-down using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico operations. There were no repurchases of our class A common stock in the first six months of 2007. We spent $13.2 million to repurchase our class A common stock in the first six months of 2006.

Based on the current level of our operations and anticipated future growth, both internally generated as well as through acquisitions, we believe that our cash flows from operations, together with available borrowings under our credit facility, will be

sufficient to meet our anticipated requirements for working capital, capital expenditures, interest payments and scheduled principal payments for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future.

Credit Facility

The revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes and acquisition of certain assets, including share repurchases. The credit facility permits us to prepay loans and to permanently reduce revolving credit commitments, in whole or in part, at any time. We are required to make mandatory payments of our term loans in the amount of $10.3 million per quarter starting December 31, 2007 and additional payments based on certain debt transactions or the disposal of certain assets. For example, we repaid $70.0 million of our term loans during the six months ended June 30, 2007 using a portion of the proceeds from the sale of the Puerto Rico operations, net of borrowings incurred to fund the KASA-TV Acquisition.

The credit facility contains covenants that, among other things, restrict the ability of our subsidiaries to dispose of assets; incur additional indebtedness; incur guarantee obligations; prepay other indebtedness or amend other debt instruments; pay dividends; create liens on assets; enter into sale and leaseback transactions; make investments, loans or advances; make acquisitions; engage in mergers or consolidations; change the business conducted by it; make capital expenditures; or engage in certain transactions with affiliates and otherwise restrict certain corporate activities. We are required, under the terms of the credit facility, to comply with specified financial covenant ratios, including maximum leverage ratios and a minimum interest coverage ratio. At June 30, 2007, we were in compliance with all of the covenants under our credit facility.

The credit facility also contains provisions that prohibit any modification of the indentures governing our senior subordinated notes in any manner adverse to the lenders and that limit our ability to refinance or otherwise prepay our senior subordinated notes without the consent of such lenders. (See the table summarizing our

total net interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively in our discussion of “Other Expense (Income) – Interest expense, net”).

The 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes — Class B and the 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures are unsecured and are subordinated in right of payment to all of our senior indebtedness, including indebtedness under our credit facility.

The indentures governing the 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes, 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes — Class B and 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures contain covenants limiting, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and issuance of capital stock; layering of indebtedness; the payment of dividends on, and redemption of, our capital stock; liens; mergers, consolidations and sales of all or substantially all of our assets; asset sales; asset swaps; dividend and other payment restrictions affecting restricted subsidiaries; and transactions with affiliates. The indentures also have change of control provisions which may require us to purchase all or a portion of our 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes and our 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes — Class B at a price equal to 101% of the principal amount of the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, and our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest. The 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes and 6¹/2% Senior Subordinated Notes — Class B have certain limitations and financial penalties for early redemption of the notes.

The 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures have a contingent interest feature that will require us to pay contingent interest at the rate of 0.25% per annum commencing with the six-month period beginning May 15, 2008 if the average trading price of the debentures for a five-day measurement period preceding the beginning of the applicable six-month period equals 120% or more of the principal amount of the debentures. The debentures also have certain exchange rights where the holder may exchange each debenture for shares of our class A common stock based on certain conditions.

Prior to May 15, 2008, the exchange rate will be determined as follows:

	•		If the applicable stock price is less than or equal to the base exchange price, the exchange rate will be the base exchange rate; and

	•		If the applicable stock price is greater than the base exchange price, the exchange rate will be determined in accordance with the following formula; provided, however, in no event will the exchange rate exceed 46.2748, subject to the same proportional adjustment as the base exchange rate: The base exchange rate plus the applicable stock price less the base exchange price divided by the applicable stock price multiplied by the incremental share factor.

On May 15, 2008, the exchange rate will be fixed at the exchange rate then in effect. The “base exchange rate” is 26.8240, subject to adjustment, and the “base exchange price” is a dollar amount (initially $37.28) derived by dividing the principal amount per debenture by the base exchange rate. The “incremental share factor” is 23.6051, subject to the same proportional adjustment as the base exchange rate. The “applicable stock price” is equal to the average of the closing sale prices of our common stock over the five trading-day period starting the third trading day following the exchange date of the debentures.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

GECC Note

We have guaranteed the GECC Note, which is a $815.5 million 25-year non-amortizing senior secured note bearing an initial interest rate of 8.0% per annum until March 2, 2013 and 9% per annum thereafter that was assumed by the NBC joint venture in 1998. The guarantee requires us to pay any shortfall in amounts payable under the GECC Note after the assets of the joint venture were liquidated in the case of a default under the GECC Note. The cash flow generated by the joint venture has serviced the interest on the note and operational requirements of the joint venture since 1998 and has generated an average of $28.3 million in cash distributions to the joint venture partners over the last three years. We believe the fair value of the underlying assets of the joint venture is substantially in excess of the principal amount of the GECC Note. (For more information about the GECC Note, see the description of the NBC Universal Joint Venture in Note 4 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, the Risk Factor — “The GECC Note could result in significant liabilities and could trigger a change of control under our existing indebtedness, causing our indebtedness to become immediately due and payable”, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, as well as the description of the GECC Note in Note 14 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.)

Future Program Rights Agreements

We account for program rights and obligations in accordance with SFAS No. 63, “Financial Reporting by Broadcasters” which requires us to record program rights agreements on our balance sheet on the first broadcast date the related program is available for viewing. We have commitments for future program rights agreements not recorded on our balance sheet at June 30, 2007 of $56.6 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates principally with respect to our credit facility, which is priced based on certain variable interest rate alternatives. There was $205.0 million outstanding as of June 30, 2007 under our credit facility.

Accordingly, we are exposed to potential losses related to increases in interest rates. A hypothetical one percent increase in the floating rate used as the basis for the interest charged on the credit facility as of June 30, 2007 would result in an estimated $1.1 million increase in annualized interest expense assuming a constant balance outstanding of $205.0 million less the notional amount of $100.0 million covered with an interest rate swap agreement (see below).

During 2007, our derivatives consisted of embedded derivatives within our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures. Also during 2007, we were party to an interest rate swap agreement classified as a hedge under SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities.”

During 2006, our derivatives consisted of embedded derivatives within our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures and an interest rate swap agreement which we entered into during the second quarter of 2005 and settled during the second quarter of 2006. This agreement was not designated as a hedging instrument under SFAS No. 133.

The embedded derivatives within our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures have certain features that are required to be separately identified and recorded at fair value with a mark-to-market adjustment each quarter. The value of these features on issuance of the debentures was $21.1 million. This amount was recorded as an original issue discount, and is being accreted through interest expense over the period to May 2008. The derivative features embedded in our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures and our interest rate swap agreement are recorded at fair market value in the line item “Other liabilities” in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet.

We recorded a loss on derivative instruments of $496,000 and $1,500,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $466,000 and $490,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, in connection with the marking-to-market adjustment for the derivative features embedded within our 2.50% Exchangeable Senior Subordinated Debentures and, during the first part of 2006, our interest rate swap arrangement.

We are also exposed to market risk related to changes in interest rates through our investing activities. With respect to borrowings, our ability to finance future acquisition transactions may be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain appropriate financing at acceptable rates.

As of June 30, 2007, we were party to an interest rate swap agreement that has been designated as a hedging instrument under SFAS No. 133, in the notional amount of $100.0 million, to manage exposure to interest rate risk associated with the variable rate portion of our credit facility. As of June 30, 2007, in accordance with SFAS No. 133, we recorded a liability for the present value of the increase in interest over the remaining term of the credit facility agreement of approximately $26,000. This amount is reflected in other comprehensive (loss) income, net of $10,000 in taxes, as we have designated the contract as a cash flow hedge. This amount will be released into earnings over the life of the swap.

agreement through periodic interest payments.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

a) Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures. Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2007 our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

b) Changes in internal controls. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting identified in connection with the evaluation that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

We are involved in various claims and lawsuits that are generally incidental to our business. We are vigorously contesting all of these matters and believe that their ultimate resolution will not have a material adverse effect on us.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results.

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

On August 23, 2005, our Board approved our repurchase of up to $200.0 million of our class A common stock (the “Program”). Share repurchases under the Program may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. During the six months ended June 30, 2007 no purchases of class A common stock were made under the Program or otherwise.

Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities

We recorded an impairment charge of $333.6 million during the second quarter of 2006 that included a broadcast license impairment charge of $238.3 million relating to fifteen of our television stations and a goodwill impairment charge of $95.3 million. As required by SFAS 142, No. 142 “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets” (“SFAS No. 142”), we tested our unamortized intangible assets as of June 30, 2006, which was between annual tests, because we believed based upon the continued decline in the trading price of LIN TV Corp.’s class A common stock and the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer it was more likely than not that the fair value of our reporting units would fall below their carrying amounts. We performed our test of our broadcast licenses and goodwill for impairments as of June 30, 2006. We used market information not available as of December 31, 2005 to calculate the fair value of our broadcast licenses and reporting units. The impairment tests as of June 30, 2006 used the same assumptions as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, except that the operating profit margins ranged from 25.6% to 52.9%.

The GECC Note is not an obligation of LIN TV Corp., but has recourse to the joint venture, LIN TV Corp.’s equity interests therein and to LIN TV Corp. pursuant to a guarantee. If the joint venture were to default on its obligations and became unable to pay principal or interest on the GECC Note and GECC could not otherwise be repaid its money from the joint venture, GECC could require LIN TV Corp. to pay the shortfall of any outstanding amounts under the GECC Note. If this happened, LIN TV Corp. could experience material adverse consequences, including:

•

GECC could force LIN TV Corp. to sell the stock of LIN Television held by LIN TV Corp. to satisfy outstanding amounts under the GECC Note;

•

if more than 50% of the ownership of LIN Television had to be sold to satisfy the GECC Note, it could cause an acceleration of our credit facility and other outstanding indebtedness; or

•

if the GECC Note is prepaid because of an acceleration on default or otherwise, or if the note is repaid at maturity, our Company may incur a substantial tax liability.

Note 14 – Share Repurchase Program

On August 17, 2005, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program authorizing the repurchase of up to $200.0 million of LIN TV Corp.’s class A common stock. Share repurchases under the program may be made from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2006, we repurchased 1,437,700 shares of LIN TV Corp.’s class A common stock for $13.2 million and an aggregate of 1,806,428 shares of LIN TV Corp.’s class A common stock for $18.0 million since the inception of the program. We did not repurchase any shares during the six months ended June 30, 2007.
