  • Station Transactions: 1991 Through September 1998
    ---Station Transactions: 1991 through September 1998 Page 35 BEAR STEARNS Station Transactions -1991 through September 1998 - In this section, we provide quarterly summaries of significant television transactions that have occurred from 1991 through September 1998. The data summarized include: • the date a transaction was announced (rather than closed) • the property or properties acquired/swapped • the affiliation of the acquired/swapped property • the Designated Market Area (DMA) in which the acquired/swapped television station operates • the purchaser • the seller; and • the purchase price, on the date of announcement. Since the majority of these transactions were private, cash flow and transaction multiple estimates were not available for most of the properties and therefore were not included. These data can be used to determine 1) which broadcasters have been active buyers and sellers; 2) the relative prices paid for different properties in the same market; and 3) relative acquisition activity by quarter.

Washington, D. C. 20554 This is an unofficial announcement of Commission action. Release of the full text of a Commission order constitutes official action. See MCI v. FCC. 515 F 2d 385 (D.C. Circ 1974). FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: David Fiske July 25, 2001 (202) 418-0513 FCC APPROVES FOX/CHRIS-CRAFT MERGER WITH CONDITIONS Washington - - The FCC announced today it has approved the application of Fox Television Stations, Inc. (FTS) to acquire the 10 television stations held by Chris-Craft Industries and its subsidiaries BHC Communications and United Television, Inc. (The stations to be acquired are listed below.) The approval was granted with conditions requiring the licensee to comply with FCC rules on television duopolies, the 35% national television audience cap, and newspaper/broadcast cross ownership. The FCC said that FTS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Fox Television Holdings, Inc., which in turn is controlled by Mr. Rupert Murdoch. The broadcast licenses of the Chris-Craft stations will be held and controlled by FTS, while their non-license assets will be held by a new Fox subsidiary (Newco) that is ultimately controlled by News Corporation. Newco will operate the stations pursuant to an operating agreement with FTS. In its order, the Commission finds that the proposed company structure complies with its previous decisions regarding alien ownership of Fox entities. The transaction will result in duopolies in New York, Los Angeles, Phoenix and Salt Lake City.
