                                   Public Interest Statement

        This application seeks Commission consent to the transfer of control of Local TV
Virginia License, LLC (“WTKR-WGNT License”), a subsidiary of Dreamcatcher Broadcasting,
LLC (“Dreamcatcher”), from Dreamcatcher to Local TV Finance, LLC (“Local TV Finance”),
an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Tribune Media Company (“Tribune”) and the successor-
