ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On February 5, 1999, STC Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("STC"), consummated the acquisition (the "Acquisition") of the assets related
to Station WUPW-TV (the "WUPW Assets") from Raycom America, Inc., a Delaware
corporation that is an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Raycom Media, Inc.,
pursuant to the terms of an Asset Purchase Agreement dated July 24, 1998. The
aggregate purchase price paid for the WUPW assets was $72.6 million and was
determined as a result of an arm's length negotiation between STC and Raycom
Media, Inc.

         WUPW, Channel 36, is the UHF FOX-affiliated station serving the Toledo,
Ohio market. WUPW owns assets that constitute plant, equipment, and other
physical property used in the operation of the television station and will
continue to be utilized by STC for such purposes.

         STC financed the Acquisition, together with associated closing costs,
with (i) $40 million of borrowings under the revolver portion of STC's Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, and (ii) $37.5 million of newly issued Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To Raycom Media, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and equity
of WUPW-TV, a division of Raycom Media, Inc., as of December 31, 1998 and 1997,
and the related statements of operations and equity and cash flows for the
years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets, liabilities and equity of WUPW-TV, a
division of Raycom Media, Inc., as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
results of its operations and its cash flows for the years then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                   WUPW-TV, A DIVISION OF RAYCOM MEDIA, INC.


                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           DECEMBER 31, 1998 AND 1997



1.     ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS:

WUPW-TV (the Station) has been a division of Raycom Media, Inc. (Raycom or the
Parent) since September 1996. The Station operates a commercial television
station in the Toledo, Ohio, designated market area. The Station has a network
affiliation with FOX Broadcasting Company.

2.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared from the books and
records maintained by the Station and those of the Parent. The statements of
operations include allocations for corporate overhead. Management of the Parent
considers the allocation methods used to be reasonable.

Concentration of Risk and Accounts Receivable

The Station serves the Toledo, Ohio, demographic area. Accordingly, the revenue
potential of the Station is dependent on the economy in this area. The Station
monitors its accounts receivable through continuing credit evaluations.
Historically, the Station has not had significant uncollectable accounts.

Program Rights

Program rights and the corresponding contractual obligations are recorded when
the license period begins and the programs are available for use. Program
rights are carried at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable
value evaluated on a program-by-program basis. Any reduction in unamortized
costs to net realizable value is included in amortization of program rights in
the accompanying statements of operations. Such reductions in unamortized costs
for the years ended 1998 and 1997 were not material. Costs of programming are
amortized on the future number of showings on an accelerated basis
contemplating the estimated revenue to be earned per showing, but generally not
exceeding five years. Program rights and the corresponding contractual
obligations are classified as current or long-term based on estimated usage and
payment terms, respectively.

Property and Equipment

Property and equipment are recorded at cost and are depreciated on a
straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

<TABLE>

                                                                 Years
                                                                --------
<S>                                                             <C>  
Buildings and improvements                                      10 - 30
Broadcast equipment                                                   7
Furniture and other equipment                                    3 -  5
Vehicles                                                              5

</TABLE>

Expenditures for maintenance and minor repairs are charged to operations as
incurred.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in
circumstances indicate that the carrying amount should be addressed. The
Station has determined that there has been no impairment in the carrying value
of long-lived assets as of December 31, 1998.

Trade and Barter Transactions

Trade transactions represent the exchange of commercial air time for
merchandise or services. Barter transactions represent the exchange of
commercial air time for programming. Trade transactions are generally recorded
at the fair market value of the merchandise or services received. Barter
transactions are generally recorded at the fair market value of the commercial
air time relinquished. Revenue is recognized on barter and trade transactions
when the commercials are broadcast, and expenses are recorded when the program,
merchandise or service received is utilized.

Income Taxes

The Station and the Parent file a consolidated federal income tax return and
state and local income tax returns for each applicable state and local
government.

The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the
separate return method of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes," whereby the allocation of the consolidated
federal, state and local tax provision is based on what the Station's total
federal, state and local tax provision would have been had the Station filed
income tax returns outside its consolidated group. Given that the Parent is
ultimately responsible for the Station's tax liability, the total income tax
liability is recorded as an increase in the payable to parent in the
accompanying statements of assets, liabilities and equity.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions
that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

7.     PARENT DEBT AND INTEREST EXPENSE:

Raycom entered into a loan and credit agreement (the Agreement) to facilitate
the purchase of the Station in September 1996. Under the terms of the
Agreement, substantially all of the assets of the Station were pledged. The
pledged assets will be released upon the exchange of the Station to STC
Broadcasting, Inc. (STC) (see Note 12).

Interest expense was allocated to the Station to represent a reasonable charge
for the debt incurred to facilitate the Station's purchase. The payable to
parent balances as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, represent the net position of
intercompany charges between the Station and the Parent. The Parent has not
stipulated repayment terms of the payable to parent balance as of December 31,
1998, for the next five years or thereafter.

8.     INCOME TAXES:

The following table reflects the income tax benefit that the Station would have
recorded if it had filed tax returns as a separate legal entity for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively:

Deferred income taxes reflect the tax effect of temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Components of the Station's net
deferred tax liability, included in payable to parent, as of December 31, 1998
and 1997, are as follows:

The tax effect of NOLs of approximately $755,000 and $1,001,000 was generated
for the years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. On a stand-alone
basis, management of the Station does not believe that the Station would
generate taxable income in future years. Therefore, management established a
valuation allowance to fully offset the NOL generated during the years ended
December 31, 1998 and 1997.

9.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

The Station has various agreements relating to future program rights not
available for broadcast at December 31, 1998. Future minimum payments under the
terms of these agreements as of December 31, 1998, are as follows:

The Station is involved in claims and actions arising in the ordinary course of
business. In the opinion of management, after consultation with legal counsel,
the ultimate disposition of these matters is not expected to have a material
adverse effect on the operations of the Station.

10.    RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

The Station's financial information is included in the consolidated financial
statements of Raycom. Certain management services are provided to the Station
by Raycom. Such services include data processing, legal, tax, treasury, risk
management and other support services. Allocated expenses are based on Raycom's
estimate of expenses related to the services provided to the Station in
relation to those provided to other divisions or subsidiaries of Raycom.
Management believes that these allocations were made on a reasonable basis. The
Station was allocated expenses of approximately $200,000 and $393,000 for the
years ended December 31, 1998 and 1997, respectively. These amounts were
classified as corporate overhead for the years ended December 31, 1998 and
1997, and are shown separately in the accompanying statements of operations. As
discussed in Note 7, Raycom allocated interest expense to the Station in 1998
and 1997.

11.    EMPLOYEE BENEFITS:

Substantially all employees of the Station are covered under a benefit plan
qualifying under Internal Revenue Code Section 401(k) (the Plan). The Plan
allows the participants to contribute up to 18 percent of their pre-tax
compensation in the plan year, subject to statutory limitations. The Plan
covers substantially all employees of the Station who meet certain minimum age
or service requirements. Contributions from the Station are made in an amount
equal to 25 to 50 percent of the participating employee contributions, to the
extent such contributions do not exceed 4 percent of the employees'
compensation for the plan year. Station contributions are based on certain
year-end financial objectives of the Stations. Amounts contributed by the
Station under the Plan were approximately $10,000 and $7,000 for 1998 and 1997,
respectively, and are included in station operating and general and
administrative expenses in the accompanying statements of operations.

12.    SUBSEQUENT EVENT:

Raycom has entered into an asset purchase agreement (the Agreement) with STC.
The Agreement, dated July 24, 1997, specifies that Raycom will transfer
substantially all of the assets of the Station to STC in exchange for cash
consideration. The exchange is expected to occur in February 1999.

                    STC Broadcasting, Inc. and Subsidiaries
                   Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information


The following unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations are based on the ten
months ended December 31, 1997, and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 of
the Company and the two months ended February 28, 1997 of the predecessor
company. The Unaudited Balance Sheet is based on the Company's September 30,
1998 statement. The financial statements referred to for 1997 were included in
the Company's Form 10-K filed for the year ended December 31, 1997, and
financial statements for 1998 were included in the Company's Form 10-Q for the
quarter ended September 30, 1998. These pro forma statements should be read in
conjunction with these documents. These pro forma statements have been prepared
to illustrate the effects of the transactions described below.

On February 5, 1999, the Company consummated the acquisition (the
"Acquisition") of the assets related to Station WUPW-TV (the "WUPW Assets")
from Raycom America, Inc., a Delaware corporation that is an indirect wholly
owned subsidiary of Raycom Media, Inc., pursuant to the terms of an Asset
Purchase Agreement dated July 24, 1998. The aggregate purchase price paid for
the WUPW assets was $72.6 million and was determined as a result of an arm's
length negotiation between the Company and Raycom Media, Inc. WUPW, Channel 36,
is the UHF FOX-affiliated station serving the Toledo, Ohio market.

The Company financed the Acquisition, together with associated closing costs,
with (i) $40 million of borrowings under the revolver portion of STC's Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement, and (ii) $37.5 million of newly issued Series B
Preferred Stock of the Company.

The following Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and the nine months ended September 30, 1998 give effect to
the Acquisition as if such transaction had occurred on January 1, 1997. The Pro
Forma Unaudited Balance Sheet as of September 30,1998 has been prepared as if
the Acquisition had occurred on that date.

The Acquisition will be accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and the purchase price will be allocated to tangible and intangible assets and
liabilities acquired based upon their respective fair values. The allocation of
the aggregate purchase price reflected in the pro forma financial information is
preliminary. The final allocation of the purchase price is contingent upon the
receipt of final appraisals, however, that allocation is not expected to differ
materially from the preliminary allocation.

The pro forma financial information is based on the historical financial
statements of the Company and the assumptions and adjustments described in the
accompanying notes. The Unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations do not
purport to represent what the Company's results of operations actually would
have been if the Acquisition had occurred as of the date indicated or what
results will be for any future periods. The pro forma financial information is
based upon assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable.
