                                                                                   FCC Form 312
                                                                                       Exhibit F

                                   Public Interest Statement


        The instant application is one of multiple Form 312 applications being filed concurrently
pursuant to a Purchase Agreement between Cordillera Communications, LLC (“Cordillera”) and
Scripps Media, Inc. (“Scripps”) dated October 27, 2018 (the “Transaction”). Cordillera is the
parent of the licensee entities (the “Licensees”) listed on Attachment A that hold satellite earth
station licenses (the “Stations”). The Stations are used in connection with the associated
television stations for the reception and transmission of programming. The parties propose a
two-step Transaction:

              transfer of control of the Licensees from Cordillera to Scripps; followed
               immediately after consummation of that transfer by
               pro forma assignment of the Stations’ licenses via a second set of Form 312
               applications to a wholly-owned Scripps subsidiary, Scripps Broadcasting
               Holdings LLC (“SBH”). (See diagram in Attachment B.)

       FCC Form 315 and Form 316 applications for the transfer of control and pro forma
assignment of the associated broadcast television stations are being filed concurrently with the
Media Bureau. 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.
