(1.5) (1.1) (0.8) LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS To our shareholders: From the vantage point of spring 2017, I can see behind us a year when our television division delivered record revenue, driven by more than $100 million of political advertising revenue and a 50 percent increase in fees we receive from cable and satellite operators who include our TV stations in their packages. From this same vantage point, I can see ahead to a year when local broadcasters’ optimism already has been lifted by the promised tailwinds of the advancement of next-gen television transmission standard ATSC 3.0 as well as further increases in the value of our content as represented by rising rates for the retransmission of our stations. At Scripps, 2017 also brings the promise of new leadership. After nearly 18 years as a member of the senior leadership team here at Scripps — including nine as CEO — I will retire from the role of president and CEO later this year, retaining the job of chairman of the board.

  • UNITED STATES of AMERICA, : : Plaintiff, : Civil Action No
    UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA ____________________________________ : UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, : : Plaintiff, : Civil Action No. 99-CV-00993 : v. : (Judge Oberdorfer) : CAPSTAR BROADCASTING : CORPORATION, : : and : : : TRIATHLON BROADCASTING : COMPANY : : : : Defendants. : ____________________________________: COMPETITIVE IMPACT STATEMENT The United States, pursuant to Section 2(b) of the Antitrust Procedures and Penalties Act ("APPA"), 15 U.S.C. § 16(b)-(h), files this Competitive Impact Statement relating to the proposed Final Judgment submitted for entry in this civil antitrust proceeding. I. NATURE AND PURPOSE OF THE PROCEEDING The plaintiff filed a civil antitrust Complaint on April 21, 1999, alleging that Capstar Broadcasting Corporation’s (“Capstar”) proposed acquisition of Triathlon Broadcasting Company (“Triathlon”) would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act, as amended, 15 U.S.C. § 18. The Complaint alleges that Capstar and Triathlon both own and operate radio stations throughout the United States, and that they each own and operate radio stations in the Wichita, Kansas, metropolitan area. Specifically, the complaint alleges that Capstar owns KKRD-FM, KRZZ-FM, and KNSS-AM in Wichita and that Capstar controls approximately 20 percent of the Wichita radio advertising market. The complaint also alleges that Triathlon owns KZSN-FM, KRBB- FM, KEYN-FM, KWSY-FM, KFH-AM, and KQAM-FM in Wichita and controls approximately 33 percent of the radio advertising revenues in the Wichita radio advertising market. The proposed acquisition would give Capstar a significant share of the radio advertising market in Wichita and control over stations that are close substitutes for each other based upon their specific audience characteristics. According to industry estimates, the proposed acquisition would give Capstar control of over 45 percent of the radio advertising revenue -- even after Capstar divests the two lowest ranked FM radio stations pursuant to Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) regulations.
