FCC Form 312 Page 1 of 1 Exhibit E & F to FCC Form 312 The instant application (“Application”) seeks consent of the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”), pursuant to the chapter 11 joint plan of reorganization (“Plan”) filed by ION Media Networks, Inc. (“ION”) and its subsidiaries (“ION License Subsidiaries”) with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (“Bankruptcy Court”), to the involuntary pro forma assignment of earth station license(s) identified at Item A8 of FCC Form 312 Schedule A (the “Earth Stations”), from ION Media Houston License, Inc., debtor-in-possession, to ION Media Houston License, Inc. as reorganized pursuant to the plan.1 The Application is being filed concurrently with several applications (“Broadcast Pro Forma Applications”) seeking FCC consent to the involuntary pro forma assignment of the broadcast licenses held by the ION License Subsidiaries (as debtors-in-possession) to the ION License Subsidiaries (as reorganized pursuant to the Plan) and the involuntary pro forma transfer of control of the ION License Subsidiaries to the ION Media Networks Liquidating Trust (collectively, the “Pro Forma Transaction”). A comprehensive description of the Pro Forma Transaction is being filed as an attachment to the Broadcast Pro Forma Applications and is incorporated herein by reference. See KPXR-TV, FCC File No. BALCT- 20090901AAM. The Earth Station is used in connection with the broadcast operations of a commercial TV station, ultimately owned by ION, for news gathering and coverage of events of interest to the local community. After consummation of the proposed transaction pursuant to prior FCC approval, the Earth Station will used in the same manner and for the same purposes as before the proposed transaction. Accordingly, grant of this FCC Form 312 would serve the public interest. Denied Applications. On December 8, 1995, the FCC denied the application (BML-951016AD) of L. Paxson, Inc. (an entity under common control with the licensee), licensee of WFTL(AM), Ft. Lauderdale, Florida (formerly Paxson Miami License, L.P.), for a modification of license and a waiver of the main studio rule. On February 12, 2006, an appeal of that decision was filed with the Commission; that appeal remains pending. The licensee and its parent entities no longer have an interest in that station. 1 This application was originally filed on September 2, 2009. See IBFS File No. SES- ASG-20090909-01138 (granted on October 7, 2009) (“September Application”). Due to a clerical error in the name of the assignee in the September Application, we hereby request the withdrawal of the September Application. The instant application is filed to replace the September Application for the sole purpose of correcting the clerical error.
