AB 28 Pages.Indd 18 ARKANSAS BUSINESS Public PC Companies MAY 14, 2007 Equity: Lawsuit Says Shareholders Duped (continued from Page 1) the owners of Arkansas Media, which is controlled by “entities wholly owned and controlled by [the three men] or members of their families,” the law- suit says. The lawsuit contends that the three men put their own interests ahead of those of Equity’s uninformed shareholders. “Arkansas Media claims to be some sort of ‘management’ enterprise cre- ated by the controlling shareholders and directors of Equity and is currently owned by ‘affiliates’ of those persons,” the lawsuit says. In 1998, Equity, led by the own- ers of Arkansas Media, contracted to pay Arkansas Media fees that totaled more than $1 million a year in 2003, 2004 and 2005, despite Equity’s multi- million-dollar losses. That agreement, which appears to favor Hooper, Fess MICHAEL PIRNIQUE and Morton, is a major subject of the lawsuit. Attorneys for both sides declined comment, and several calls to Equity and Coconut Palm executives were referred to Stan Smith, the new com- Equity Media Holdings Corp., the new company formed with Equity Broadcasting Corp.’s merger with Coconut Palm pany’s public information officer, who Acquisition Group of Boca Raton, Fla., will keep its headquarters at 1 Shackleford Drive in Little Rock. did not return messages left at his Florida office before deadline.

  • Local Information Programming and the Structure of Television Markets
    Local Information Programming and the Structure of Television Markets Federal Communications Commission Media Ownership Study #4 Jack Erb* Office of Strategic Planning and Policy Analysis Federal Communications Commission Email: [email protected] May 20, 2011 Abstract: We analyze the relationship between the ownership structure of television markets and the amount of local news and public affairs programming provided in the market (at both the overall market and individual station levels). We find that commercial television stations that are cross-owned with major newspapers in the same market tend to air more local news programming, but that the station-level increase does not translate into more local news programming at the market level. Television-radio cross-ownership has a moderate (but statistically significant) positive impact on local information programming at the station level, and each additional in-market radio station controlled by the television station owner corresponds to additional local news minutes aired by the television station. However, local news programming at the market level is likely to be lower, as the scale economies enjoyed by the cross-owned stations are outweighed by the crowding out of local news programming on other stations. Multiple ownership (i.e., situations in which a single parent controls two or more stations in the same market) does not appear to impact the amount of local information programming at either the market or station level (though this result appears somewhat dependent upon model specification). But we do find that multiple ownership and broadband subscribership have a positive impact on the relative mix of local vs.
