                                                                                               Exhibit E

                                      Description of Transaction

Gray Television, Inc. (“Gray”), through various subsidiaries, holds FCC licenses for the television
stations listed herein (“FCC Licenses”). Currently, Gray is the sole shareholder of WVLT-TV, Inc.
(“WVLT”) and Gray Media Group, Inc. (formerly known as Raycom Media, Inc., “GMGI”). WVLT in
turn is the sole shareholder of Gray Television Group, Inc. (“GTGI”), which is the sole member of Gray
Television Licensee, LLC. (“Gray Licensee”). GMGI is the sole shareholder of the following licensee
entities: Raycom Media Licensee, LLC (“Raycom Licensee”); WXIX License Subsidiary, LLC; KNIN
License Subsidiary, LLC; WBRC License Subsidiary, LLC; WFLX License Subsidiary, LLC; WVUE
License Subsidiary, LLC; and KYOU Raycom License Subsidiary, LLC. (collectively, the “Raycom Fox
Licensees”).
This application seeks Commission consent to the pro forma reorganization of Gray to streamline its
ownership structure. Specifically, the Raycom Fox Licensees will assign their FCC licenses to Raycom
Licensee. 1 Next, GTGI will merge into GMGI, and GMGI will survive. Immediately thereafter, Gray
Licensee will merge into Raycom Licensee, and Gray Licensee will survive. Consequently, upon
consummation of these pro forma transactions, Gray will remain the sole shareholder of WVLT and
GMGI, and GMGI will be the sole member of Gray Licensee.
The current ownership structure of Gray is depicted on Figure 1, and the proposed ownership structure is
depicted on Figure 2.
Upon consummation of the pro forma transactions described in this application and the footnoted
applications, the attributable interests in the FCC Licenses will continue to be held in the same
proportions and by the same persons who were previously approved to hold those ownership interests.
Accordingly, this transaction involves no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the Licensees
and use of the FCC Form 316 is appropriate. Gray’s qualifications were most recently passed upon by the
Commission in connection with its acquisition of Raycom Media, Inc.2 Because this transaction is being
undertaken solely for internal corporate purposes, there are no agreements relevant to this transfer.
Additional information concerning the officers and directors of Gray and its subsidiaries is provided
below.
