 A common stock and Class B common stock will be necessary for the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm.

Q: How do our officers and directors intend to vote?

We have been advised by various members of management and the Board of Directors who, in the aggregate, hold or otherwise have voting power with respect to 1,392,388 shares of Class A common stock and 2,861,843 shares of Class B common stock (together representing approximately 83.24% of the votes possible) that they intend to vote such shares in favor of each of the proposals to be presented for consideration and approval at the meeting. Further, we are a “controlled company” under rules governing the listing of our securities on the NASDAQ Stock Market because more than 50% of our voting power is held by Catherine L. Hughes, our Chairperson of the board and Secretary, and Alfred C. Liggins, III, our CEO and President. Ms. Hughes and Mr. Liggins together hold shares of stock representing approximately 83.21% of the votes possible.

Q: What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Stockholders of Record . If you are a stockholder of record and you:

• Indicate when voting on the internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board of Directors; or

• Sign and return a proxy card without giving specific voting instructions,

then the persons named as proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board of Directors on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the annual meeting.

Beneficial Owners of Shares Held in Street Name . If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions then, under applicable rules, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on “routine” matters but cannot vote on “non-routine” matters. If the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, that organization will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a “broker non-vote.”

Q: W hich ballot measures are considered “routine” or “non-routine”?
