                  Description of Transaction and Transferee Information


         The instant application seeks Commission consent to the transfer of control of
Alaska Broadcasting Company, Inc. (“Licensee”), licensee of the two fixed satellite earth
stations referenced herein,1 from Affiliated Media, Inc. (formerly named MediaNews
Group, Inc.) (“AMI”) to AMI as a debtor-in-possession. This reflects the filing on
January 22, 2010 by AMI, the direct parent company of Licensee, of a voluntary petition
for relief under chapter 11 of Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”)
in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware seeking to reorganize
under chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. As a result of this chapter 11 Petition, AMI
now operates as a debtor-in-possession under the Bankruptcy Court’s oversight, pursuant
to Sections 1107 and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code.

        The proposed transfer of control is pro forma in nature. The officers, directors
and shareholders of both Licensee and its parent remain unchanged after the filing of the
bankruptcy petition. The only change has been the change in status of AMI, Licensee’s
parent company, to a debtor-in-possession.

       AMI owns 95% of the issued and outstanding stock of Licensee. The principal
business of AMI is publishing newspapers. The address of AMI’s corporate headquarters
is 101 West Colfax Avenue, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80202.

        Approximately 46.5% of the issued and outstanding stock of AMI is held by trusts
benefitting the Singleton family, William Dean Singleton and Howell E. Begle, Jr.,
trustees. Approximately 46.5% of the issued and outstanding stock of AMI is held by a
trust benefitting the Scudder family, Jean Scudder, trustee. All of these trustees are U.S.
citizens. No other entity holds 10% or more of the stock of AMI.

        The officers and directors of AMI are as follows:


         Name                                                     Title

William Dean Singleton                                Chairman of the Board, CEO
Joseph J. Lodovic, IV                                 President, Director
Howell E. Begle, Jr.                                  Director
Mark J. Winkler                                       Executive VP and Chief Marketing and
                                                      Sales Officer

  These earth stations are utilized in the operation of television station KTVA (TV), Anchorage, Alaska. A
