Item 8.01.  Other Events.

 

We have filed applications to participate in the FCC’s television spectrum incentive auction with our Miami television station, WSBS-CD – Channel 50, and our Houston television station, KTBU – Channel 42, to potentially generate cash proceeds that are expected to be created by the auction process.  As participants in the FCC’s television spectrum incentive auction we will be subject to the FCC’s anti-collusion rule, which prohibits certain communications during a “quiet period.”  The quiet period will end when the FCC issues a public notice announcing the completion of the reverse and forward auctions, which will likely be sometime in late 2016.  There can be no assurance that the FCC’s television spectrum incentive auction will be successfully completed and any potential cash proceeds will be subsequently realized.
