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 a result, the proposed pro forma assignment does not represent a substantial change in ownership or control of the Station.
