FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”), dated as of October 29, 2009, to the
Employment Agreement dated as of September 6, 2006 (the “Employment Agreement”),
by and among LIN TV Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), and LIN Television
Corporation, a Delaware corporation with its headquarters in Providence, Rhode
Island, and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent (the “Company” and, together
with Parent, the “LIN Companies”), and Denise M. Parent (the “Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

WHEREAS, the Executive and the LIN Companies are parties to the Employment
Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the Employment Agreement upon the terms and
conditions set forth herein.
 
 
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained
herein, the undersigned hereby agree as follows:
 
1.           Defined Terms.  Terms defined in the Employment Agreement and used
herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Employment Agreement.
 
2.           Amendments to Section 5(b).  The following shall be added as a new
Section 5(b)(iv):
 
“5(b)(iv)  Solely with respect to calendar year 2009, Executive shall be
eligible to receive a bonus payment calculated as set forth in this paragraph
(iv) using a baseline bonus amount equal to twenty five percent (25%) of the
Performance Bonus Amount (the “2009 Results Bonus Base Amount”).  The amount of
the bonus awarded to Executive, if any, under this paragraph (iv) shall be an
amount calculated as a percentage of the 2009 Results Bonus Base Amount (the
“2009 Results Bonus Percentage”).  The 2009 Results Bonus Percentage shall be
the percentage set forth on Schedule 5(b)(2009) hereto that corresponds to the
respective percentage by which Parent has achieved the EBITDA target established
by the Board of Parent for 2009, as determined by the Compensation
Committee.  For the avoidance of doubt, for calendar year 2009, Executive shall
be eligible to receive a bonus payment in an amount up to seventy five percent
(75%) of the Performance Bonus Amount, which bonus payment, if any, shall be
determined in the sole discretion of the President and CEO of the LIN Companies
and the Compensation Committee, based upon such factors as each may determine to
be relevant, which may include the performance of the LIN Companies and
Executive, general business conditions, and the relative achievement by
Executive or the LIN Companies of any goals established by the President and
CEO, the Board of Parent or the Compensation Committee.”
 
3.           No Other Amendments; Confirmation.  Except as expressly amended
hereby, the provisions of the Employment Agreement, as amended, are and shall
remain in full force and effect.

4.           Counterparts.  This Amendment may be executed by one or more of the
parties hereto on any number of separate counterparts, and all of said
counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instrument.  This Amendment may be delivered by facsimile transmission of the
relevant signature pages hereof.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Amendment as of the date
first above written.
