                          Request for Extension of Time to Consummate

           Dear Sir or Madam:

                   ION Media of Tampa, Inc. hereby requests a sixty—day extension of time to consummate the
           proforma transaction ("Transaction") set forth in IBFS File No. SES—ASG—20090909—01137
           ("Application"). As stated in the Application, the Transaction is part of a larger reorganization of
           certain subsidiaries of ION Media Networks, Inc. ("ION‘) pursuant to the chapter 11 joint plan of
           reorganization ("Plan‘") filed with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of
           New York ("Bankruptcy Court"). The Application seeks approval from the Federal Communications
           Commission ("FCC") for (i) the involuntary proforma assignment of earth station E920199 held by
           ION Media Tampa, Inc., Debtor—in—Possession to ION Media Tampa, Inc. as reorganized pursuant to
           the Plan; and (ii) the indirect involuntary pro forma transfer of control of ION Media of Tampa, Inc.
           to the ION Media Networks Liquidating Trust ("Liquidating Trust"). The Plan contemplates that
           upon confirmation of the Plan and receipt of the requisite FCC approvals, control of ION will be
           vested temporarily in the Liquidating Trust (subject to the retained jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy
           Court). The Bankruptcy Court approved the Plan, but has not yet issued a written Confirmation
           Order. Because the parties cannot consummate the Transaction before the Confirmation Order is
           released and has become effective, an extension of time to consummate the Transaction is necessary.
           Accordingly, ION Media of Tampa, Inc. respectfully requests a 60—day extension of time until
           January 29, 2010 to consummate the Transaction.

                    Please direct any questions regarding this matter to the undersigned.

                                                                        Respectfully yours,




           ce:      Ms. Jeanette Spriggs (via email)
