Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 in the Matter of Future of Media and Information Needs Of
Before the FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20554 In the Matter of Future of Media and Information Needs GN Docket No. 10-25 of Communities in a Digital Age COMMENTS OF BELO CORP. Belo Corp. (“Belo” or “the Company”)1 hereby submits its Comments in response to the FCC’s Public Notice released on January 21, 2010 in the above-referenced proceeding, in order to assist the Commission in its assessment of Americans’ access to vibrant, diverse sources of news and information. As discussed in more detail below, Americans have access to a vast amount of diverse news and information content, thanks in no small part to the public service provided by Belo and other broadcasters. Moreover, although digital television is still in its infancy, it already has allowed Belo and other television broadcasters to implement innovative new services and pursue new opportunities to better serve their audiences. Television operators surely will continue to explore new ways to use DTV technology to enhance their roles as public servants. Most importantly, the Commission should recognize that Belo, like many other broadcasters, 1 Belo is one of the nation’s largest pure-play, publicly-traded television companies. It owns and operates 20 television stations, reaching more than 14 percent of U.S. television households in 15 markets. Belo stations consistently deliver distinguished journalism for which they have received significant industry recognition including 12 Alfred I. duPont- Columbia University Silver Baton Awards; 11 George Foster Peabody Awards; and 26 national Edward R. Murrow Awards – all since 2000, and in each case more than any other commercial station group in the nation.

About the SOPA Awards for Editorial Excellence The SOPA Awards for Editorial Excellence were established in 1999 as a tribute to editorial excellence in both traditional and new media, and were designed to encourage editorial vitality throughout the region. The awards cover a broad range of categories reflecting Asia’s diverse geo-political environment and vibrant editorial scene. Central to the SOPA Awards’ ongoing success is the high caliber of international judges who preside over the award entries. The SOPA Awards have consistently secured judges from many of the region’s leading newspapers as well as consumer and trade magazines and academics from prestigious universities – a reflection of the stature of the awards. Judges ensure that entries are analyzed and selected according to a demanding set of criteria. The SOPA Awards are coordinated by a committee of publishing professionals from the business and editorial sectors. These dedicated individuals volunteer their time throughout the year to ensure the awards’ rules, judges, entries; event, sponsorships and promotions all come together smoothly. The SOPA Awards set a valuable benchmark for the industry, and have become news items in their own right, generating media coverage and attention not only across the Asia-Pacific region, but also on the global arena. Corporate Support Sponsorship is key to ensuring the Award’s growth, and over the past years, SOPA has been fortunate in receiving strong, continuous support from its partners. As the Awards have grown, so too has the interest from corporations, and this year, we look again to the generosity of sponsors to help us deliver the best Awards we can.
