                                                 Description of the Transaction

      This application seeks Commission consent to the following pro forma restructuring of
Midessa Television Limited Partnership (“Midessa”).
         The restructuring will occur in three steps:
                1.       Lawton Cablevision, Inc. (“LCI”), KSWO Television Co., Inc. (“KSWO”)
         and LCI Television of Texas, Inc. (“LCI TX”) will convert Midessa from a Texas limited
         partnership to a Texas limited liability company and rename the entity “Midessa
         Television, LLC”.

                2.     LCI, KSWO and LCI TX will form Midessa Television Holdings, LLC
         (“Holdings Co.”), a Texas limited liability company, owned 49% by LCI, 50% by KSWO
         and 1% by LCI TX.

               3.      LCI, KSWO and LCI TX will contribute all of the membership interests of
         Midessa to Holdings Co.
        The restructuring will occur in a continuous, uninterrupted series. The Commission has
previously held that one application may be used to seek approval of a multi-step transaction of
this nature. See John H. Phipps, Inc., 11 FCC Rcd 13053, 13056 (1996).
        The use of FCC Form 316 is appropriate, because LCI, KSWO and LCI TX will remain
in control of Midessa, through Holdings Co., and there is no change in the control of LCI,
KSWO or LCI TX.
      The following charts depict the current structure and proposed structure of LCI, KSWO
and LCI TX’s ownership of Midessa.
