                                  Description of Transaction

       By this application, Meredith Corporation (“Meredith”) requests the Commission’s
consent to the pro forma assignment of the license or licenses referenced in the instant
application (the “FCC Licenses”) to the wholly-owned subsidiary of Meredith designated as the
assignee in the instant application (the “Subsidiary”). The proposed pro forma assignment is
required in connection with an internal corporate reorganization in which the licenses used in the
operation of Meredith’s television broadcast stations listed below (each, a “Station”) will be
assigned to the newly-formed, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Meredith listed below (each, a
“Subsidiary”):

        Station                                      Subsidiary

        KPHO-TV, Phoenix, Arizona                    KPHO Broadcasting Corporation
        KPTV(TV), Portland, Oregon                   KPTV-KPDX Broadcasting Corporation
        KPDX(TV), Vancouver, Washington              KPTV-KPDX Broadcasting Corporation

        To accomplish the reorganization, Meredith will contribute the FCC Licenses and other
assets of the Station listed in the instant application to the Subsidiary specified above. This
reorganization will not affect the ultimate ownership or control of the Station. As disclosed in
the Description of the Parties included in this application, Meredith will own and vote all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Subsidiary. As a result, the proposed pro forma
assignment does not represent a substantial change in ownership or control of the Station.
Accordingly, Meredith requests consent to the pro forma assignment described herein. At the
closing of this transaction, the parties intend to enter into certain agreements regarding the
conveyancing of assets and the provision of certain services. These agreements, which will
comply with the Commission’s rules and policies, have not been finalized and therefore have not
been placed in any Station’s public file.
