                               PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT

As part of an assignment of licenses from WKBW-TV License, Inc. (“Assignor”) to Scripps
Media, Inc. (“SMI”), the instant application is seeking Commission approval for the assignment
of Assignor’s transmit/receive satellite earth stations (E000053 and E960489) to SMI. These
satellite earth stations are used in conjunction with Assignor’s television station WKBW-TV
(subject of a separate broadcast 314 assignment application) to facilitate broadcasts to the
public.

As a long-standing FCC licensee of 23 full- and low-power television stations, SMI has a well-
established history of serving the public interest through its high-quality news and information
content—serving both consumers and advertisers alike. SMI’s parent, The E.W. Scripps
Company (“EWS”), is a diverse media concern with interests in newspaper publishing,
broadcast television stations and syndication. EWS is dedicated to serving the public as
evidenced in its long-held vision statement: “Give light and the people will find their own way.”
Accordingly, SMI submits that the public interest, convenience and necessity will be served by
the grant of the assignment application.
