                                       FCC Form 312
                                          Exhibit E
                                   Response to Question A20

        By this application, Broadcast Facilities, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“BFI”), seeks
authority to assign the license for E020024 from BFI to its wholly-owned subsidiary, BFI
Licenses, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“BFI Licenses”). BFI Licenses has been
newly formed for the purpose of holding BFI’s licenses. The proposed assignment would be pro
forma in nature, as ultimate control of the license would not change.

       As of the consummation of the proposed assignment, BFI Licenses would be wholly
owned by BFI, which provides network origination, transmission, and production services.
Currently: (i) BFI Investors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and holding company
(“BFII”), holds approximately 70.4 percent of the equity and voting interests in BFI; and (ii)
Simon Bax and William Tillson, each a citizen of the United States, each hold approximately
14.8 percent of the equity and voting interests in BFI.

        As part of the proposed transaction, Broadcast Facilities Group, Inc., a newly-formed
Delaware corporation (“BFGI”), would be inserted into BFI’s ownership chain as a holding
company for BFI. The existing shareholders in BFI would exchange their interests in BFI for
interests in BFGI. In addition, Tennenbaum Capital Partners, LLC (“TCP”), a manager of
investment funds, would gain an indirect, minority equity and voting interest in BFGI.
Consequently: (i) BFII would hold approximately 62.8 percent of the equity and voting interests
in BFGI; (ii) Simon Bax and William Tillson each would hold approximately 13.2 percent of the
equity and voting interests in BFGI; and (iii) TCP would hold indirect equity and voting interests
in BFGI of approximately 10.8 percent.

        Ownership and control of BFII would not change and, as such, ultimate control of BFI
and the license for E020024 would not change. More specifically: (i) the Wasserstein Family
Trust LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and investment vehicle, would continue to hold
approximately 77.0 percent of the equity and voting interests in BFII; and (ii) Ellis Jones, a
citizen of the United States, would continue to hold approximately 15.2 percent of the equity and
voting interests of BFII.1

       The Wasserstein Family Trust LLC would continue to be wholly owned by The 2001
Wasserstein Family Trust, a family trust formed for the benefit of the descendants of Bruce
Wasserstein (now deceased) and organized under the laws of New York. Ellis Jones would
continue to act as the Managing Trustee of The 2001 Wasserstein Family Trust, and would
continue to hold delegated investment authority with respect to the trust. As is the case at
present, each of the trust beneficiaries would be a citizen of the United States.

       TCP would be deemed to hold an interest in BFGI by virtue of its role as Investment
Manager to four registered investment companies formed in Delaware, none of which
individually would hold an interest of 10 percent or greater in BFGI. The Managing Member


1
        The remaining equity and voting interests in BFII would be held by three individuals,
        each a U.S. citizen, and none of whom would hold an equity or voting interest of 10
        percent or greater.
