ITEM 2. ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

         On July 6, 2000, the Company entered into an agreement with Cox
Communications, Inc. ("Cox") to sell to Cox all of the capital stock of WJAC,
Incorporated for $70.0 million. WJAC, Incorporated owns WJAC, the NBC affiliate
in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. In a related transaction, Smith Acquisition Company
and Smith Acquisition License Company, subsidiaries of the Company, entered
into an agreement with Cox to sell to Cox the assets of WTOV, the NBC affiliate
in Steubenville, Ohio, for $58.0 million. On August 4, 2000, the Company
entered into Time Brokerage Agreements ("TBAs") with Cox under which Cox
programs most of the available time on WJAC and WTOV and retains the revenues
from such sales of advertising time. Cox pays the Company a $0.75 million
monthly fee under the two TBAs and reimburses the Company for out of pocket
costs. On December 22, 2000, the Company and Cox amended their agreement for
the sale of WJAC to provide for the sale of the FCC licenses for WJAC directly
from STC License Company, the subsidiary of the Company which holds such
licenses, to Cox.

         The sale of WJAC Incorporated and WTOV closed on January 5, 2001. Of
the preliminary net proceeds from the transactions, amounting to approximately
$126.0 million, $68.0 million was used to permanently retire a portion of the
Company's senior term loan agreement, $55.0 million was transferred to a
collateral account with the Company's senior lender pending the purchase of
WPRI-TV and $3.0 million was transferred to an indemnity escrow account.
