Explanatory Note

 

On September 4, 2014, Media General, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) to, among other things, report under Item 2.01 thereof the completion on September 2, 2014 of the acquisition by the Company of the television station WHTM-TV from Sinclair Television Group, Inc. (the “WHTM Acquisition”) as an acquisition of a significant amount of assets (as defined in Instruction 4 of Item 2.01), and under Item 9.01 that the Company would file the financial statements and pro forma financial information contemplated by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K related to the WHTM Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2014. Since the filing of the Original Form 8-K, the Company has determined that the WHTM Acquisition does not constitute an acquisition of a significant amount of assets (as defined in Instruction 4 of Item 2.01) and, as such, financial statements and pro forma financial information contemplated by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K are not required to be reported by Form 8-K with respect to the WHTM Acquisition. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K accordingly.

 

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

 

The disclosure contained in Item 2.01 of the Original Form 8-K is hereby deleted in its entirety.

 

 

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.

 

The disclosure contained in Items 9.01(a) and (b) of the Original Form 8-K is hereby deleted in its entirety.
