SCHEDULE 13D
This Amendment No. 11, which relates to shares of Series A Common
Stock, $0.01 par value per share ("Series A Common Stock") of Hearst-Argyle
Television, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer"), and is being filed
jointly by The Hearst Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Hearst"), Hearst
Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Hearst Broadcasting") and
wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst, and The Hearst Family Trust, a testamentary
trust (the "Trust," and together with Hearst and Hearst Broadcasting, the
"Reporting Persons"), supplements and amends the statement on Schedule 13D
originally filed with the Commission on April 4, 1997 (as amended, the
"Statement").
ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.
The aggregate amount of funds used by Hearst Broadcasting to acquire
the shares reported in Item 5(c) was $6,739,662.75. Hearst Broadcasting used
its working capital to make such purchases.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION.
Hearst Broadcasting purchased the additional Securities reported in
Item 5(c) of this Statement in order to increase its equity interest in the
Issuer.
ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.
(a) and (b) As of October 20, 1998 the Reporting Persons own 2,387,693
shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer and 41,298,648 shares of Series B
Common Stock of the Issuer. Each share of Series B Common Stock of the Issuer
is immediately convertible into one share of Series A Common Stock of the
Issuer. Therefore, the 41,298,648 shares of Series B Common Stock owned by
Hearst Broadcasting represent, if converted, 41,298,648 shares of Series A
Common Stock of the Issuer. Under the definition of "beneficial ownership" as
set forth in Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, Hearst Broadcasting, Hearst and
the Trust are deemed to have beneficial ownership of each of the combined
43,686,341 shares of Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock (the
"Securities"). The Trust, as the owner of all of Hearst's issued and
outstanding common stock, may be deemed to have the power to direct the voting
of and disposition of the Securities. Hearst, as the owner of all of Hearst
Broadcasting's issued and outstanding common stock, may be deemed to have the
power to direct the voting of and disposition of the Securities. As a result,
Hearst Broadcasting, Hearst and the Trust may be deemed to share the power to
direct the voting of and the disposition of the Securities. The Securities
constitute approximately 82.29% of the combined shares of Series A Common Stock
and Series B Common Stock outstanding of the Issuer, based on the number of
outstanding shares as of the date hereof, provided to the Reporting Person by
the Issuer.
