                                                     Public Interest Statement


        The instant application seeks Commission consent to the assignment of licenses of earth
stations E130096 and E880108 (the “Stations”) from Local TV Virginia License, LLC (“Local
TV”) to Scripps Broadcasting Holdings LLC (“Scripps Broadcasting”).

       The application is associated with multiple Form 312 applications (the “Applications”)
previously filed pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Nexstar Media Group, Inc.
(“Nexstar”), Scripps Media, Inc. (“Scripps Media”) and Scripps Broadcasting, dated March 20,
2019. The Applications are part of a divestiture in connection with the pending transaction (the
“Transaction”) in which Nexstar will acquire control of most of the FCC license subsidiaries of
Tribune Media Company (“Tribune”).

       In connection the Transaction and proposed divestiture, Tribune has exercised its option
to acquire Local TV from its current parent, Dreamcatcher Broadcasting, LLC (“Dreamcatcher”),
and an application for transfer of control of the Stations is being filed concurrently. Immediately
upon consummation of the transfer of control, and concurrently with consummation of the
Nexstar/Tribune transaction, the Stations will be assigned from Local TV to Scripps
Broadcasting.

        The Stations are used for the transmission of programming associated with television
stations WTKR and WGNT. Corresponding FCC Form 315 and Form 314 applications for
transfer of control and assignment of license of WTRK and WGNT have been filed with the
Media Bureau (BTCCDT-20190410AAX and BALCDT-20190410AAK). Grant of the instant
application will serve the public interest by allowing the continued use of the Stations for the
gathering and provision of news and information and coverage of local community events.
