                              Explanation Regarding Transfer of Control

        Perpetual Corporation and Allholdco, Inc. are concurrently filing applications for an
involuntary pro forma transfer of control of the licensees of the following broadcast television
stations, low power television stations, television translators, and related earth station and wireless
licenses (the “Stations”) as a result of the death of Mr. Joe L. Allbritton:

                                                 Background

         These applications are the second set of transfer of control applications that are being filed as
a result of the death of Mr. Allbritton. On January 24, 2013, Perpetual Corporation and Allholdco,
Inc. filed related applications (the “January 2013 Applications”) to transfer control of the licensees of
the Stations from Mr. Allbritton to the Barbara B. Allbritton Marital Trust (the “Trust”).1 At that
time, Perpetual Corporation and Allholdco, Inc. expected that, under the terms of Mr. Allbritton’s
will, Mr. Allbritton’s direct and indirect ownership interest in Perpetual Corporation and Allholdco,
Inc. would have transferred to the Trust in short order. Mr. Allbritton’s ownership interests,
however, have not yet transferred to the Trust as had been expected. Thus, the transactions
contemplated by the January 2013 Applications have not been consummated.2

         Instead, the Estate of Mr. Allbritton remains in probate, and the applicants anticipate that Mr.
Allbritton’s property will not transfer to the Trust for several more months. As a result, Perpetual
Corporation and Allholdco, Inc. are filing this second set of involuntary pro forma applications to
reflect that the interest of Mr. Allbritton in Perpetual Corporation and Allholdco, Inc. that was to
pass to the Trust remains with the co-executors of his estate pending the completion of further steps
in the probate of his estate. Mr. Allbritton’s widow Barbara B. Allbritton and his son Robert L.
Allbritton are both the independent co-executors of Mr. Allbritton’s estate and also the trustees of the
Trust.

         The application to transfer control of the licensee of WCIV(TV) to the Trust remains pending. See FCC
File No. BTCCDT-20130124ADD. Charleston Television, LLC, will request that the Commission dismiss that
application.

                                  Involuntary Transfer of Control

        As shown in the ownership chart attached as Exhibit A-1, prior to his death Mr. Allbritton
directly and indirectly owned 72% of the voting stock of Allholdco, Inc., which is the sole
shareholder of Charleston Television, LLC, licensee of Station WCIV(TV). In addition, he owned
49% of the voting stock of Perpetual Corporation, which is the ultimate parent of the licensees of the
remaining Stations.

        Upon his death, under Texas state law, one half of Mr. Allbritton’s property automatically
transferred to his wife, Ms. Barbara B. Allbritton. The other half of Mr. Allbritton’s property
remains in his estate. The ownership chart attached as Exhibit A-2 shows the current ownership
interests in the licensees of the Stations resulting from the death of Mr. Allbritton. Aside from
reporting the death of Mr. Allbritton and transferring his interests in Perpetual Corporation and
Allholdco, Inc., these transfers of control applications do not propose any other changes to the
officers, directors, or other attributable interest holders in any Station.
