EXHIBIT F: PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT This application seeks FCC consent to the pro forma change of control of the satellite earth station licensee identified in Item A8 of FCC Form 312 Schedule A (the “Licensee”), which is a subsidiary of Tribune Company (“Tribune”) that is currently operating as a debtor-in- possession, pursuant to Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Grant of the instant application will allow Tribune to complete an internal reorganization approved by the Bankruptcy Court as part of Tribune’s preparation to emerge from bankruptcy. The satellite earth stations subject to this application will be used in the same manner and for the same purposes before and after the proposed pro forma changes in control. Accordingly, the grant of this FCC Form 312 would serve the public interest. Applicant requests that the instant application and its companion application 1 be processed so that the internal reorganization contemplated by the application may be completed prior to Tribune’s emergence from bankruptcy. As of the date of this filing, the Bankruptcy Court has not issued a Confirmation Order for a plan of reorganization for Tribune. 1 Each of the Tribune satellite earth stations is subject to two pro forma applications for change in control. The first application assigns or transfers control of the earth station to a Tribune subsidiary that remains a debtor in possession. The second application, for pro forma assignment, substitutes that Tribune subsidiary, but without the “debtor-in-possession” designation, as the party to hold the authorization upon emergence from bankruptcy under the Exit Applications.
