AGREEMENT"), BETWEEN SUNRISE TELEVISION CORP. AND THE PURCHASERS LISTED
THEREIN, A COPY OF WHICH AGREEMENT MAY BE OBTAINED UPON REQUEST.

                             STOCK PURCHASE WARRANT

Date of Issuance:                December 30, 1999           Certificate No. W-6

         For value received, SUNRISE TELEVISION CORP., a Delaware corporation
("Holdings"), hereby grants to CHASE EQUITY ASSOCIATES, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership ("Purchaser") and its assigns and transferees, the right to
purchase from Holdings the Warrant Shares (as defined herein) at a price per
share of $.01 (the "Exercise Price"). Certain capitalized terms used herein are
defined in Section 2 hereof.

         This Warrant is subject to the following provisions:

         SECTION 1. Exercise of Warrant.

                1A. Exercise Period. The purchase rights represented by this
Warrant may only be exercised by the Registered Holder in accordance with
Section 1B (i) below prior to the expiration of the first Exit Event Period
occurring after the date hereof; provided, however, that this Warrant may only
be exercised with respect to Vested Warrant Shares.

                1B. Exercise Procedure.

                (i) This Warrant shall be deemed to have been exercised
pursuant to Section 1A when all of the following items have been delivered to
Holdings (the "Exercise Time"):

                    (a) a completed Exercise Agreement, in the form, set forth
              in Exhibit A hereto, executed by the Registered Holder;




<PAGE>   2

                    (b) this Warrant;

                    (c) the aggregate Exercise Price (payable in the manner
              provided in subsection (viii) below); and

                    (d) such documentation as Holdings shall reasonably
              request, including as described in Section 1B (vii) below.

              (ii)  Certificates for Vested Warrant Shares purchased upon
exercise of this Warrant shall be delivered by Holdings to the Registered
Holder within ten (10) business days after the date of the Exercise Time
together with any cash payable in lieu of a fraction of a share pursuant to
Section 10 hereof.

              (iii) The Vested Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of
this Warrant shall be deemed to have been issued to the Registered Holder at
the Exercise Time, and the Registered Holder shall be deemed for all purposes
to have become the record holder of such Vested Warrant Shares at the Exercise
Time.

              (iv)  The issuance of certificates for Vested Warrant Shares
upon exercise of this Warrant shall be made without charge to the Registered
Holder for any issuance tax in respect thereof or other cost incurred by
Holdings in connection with such exercise and the related issuance of Vested
Warrant Shares; provided, that Holdings shall not be required to pay any taxes
in respect of the Warrant and Vested Warrant Shares with respect to any
permitted transfer of the Warrant which taxes shall be paid by the transferee
prior to the issuance of the Vested Warrant Shares.

              (v)   Holdings shall give to the Registered Holder not less than
ten (10) business days prior written notice (an "Exit Event Notice") of the
occurrence of an Exit Event. Upon exercise of this Warrant during an Exit Event
Period, such exercise shall be conditioned upon the consummation of such Exit
Event, and such exercise shall not be deemed to be effective until immediately
prior to the consummation of such Exit Event; provided, that in the event that
such Exit Event is not consummated, such exercise will be deemed ineffective.

              (vi)  Holdings shall at all times reserve and keep available out
of its authorized but unissued Shares of Common Stock solely for the purpose of
issuance upon the exercise of this Warrant, the maximum number of Warrant
Shares issuable upon the exercise of this Warrant. All Warrant Shares which are
so issuable shall, when issued, be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. Holdings will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to ensure that all such Warrant Shares may be so issued
without violation by Holdings of any applicable law or governmental regulation.




<PAGE>   3

              (vii)  Upon exercise of this Warrant, Holdings may require
customary representations and warranties from the Registered Holder to assure
that the issuance and sale of the Warrant Shares shall not require registration
or qualification under the Securities Act or any state securities law.

              (viii) The aggregate Exercise Price shall be paid by the
Registered Holder by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer of
immediately available funds to an account designated by Holdings for this
purpose; provided, however, that upon exercise of this Warrant in connection
with an Initial Public Offering, the Registered Holder may elect to pay the
aggregate Exercise Price by the surrender of Warrant Shares (which surrender
shall consist of Warrant Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised), and
without the payment of the aggregate Exercise Price in cash, in return for the
delivery to the Registered Holder of such number of Warrant Shares (rounded to
the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (1) the number of Warrant
Shares for which this Warrant is being exercised (as if the Exercise Price were
being paid in cash) and (2) the Cashless Exercise Ratio.

being made in connection with an Initial Public Offering involving any capital
stock other than Common Stock, the fair market value of one share of Common

into consideration the initial price to the public for a share of such capital
stock being sold in such Initial Public Offering).

         "Independent Third Party" means any person who, immediately prior to
the contemplated transaction, does not own in excess of 5% of Holdings' Common

power under normal circumstances to elect a majority of Holdings' board of

Holdings' capital stock) or (ii) all or substantially all of Holdings' assets
determined on a consolidated basis.

         "Securities Purchase Agreement" means the Securities Purchase

named therein.

         "Vested Warrant Shares" means the number of Warrant Shares reflected

name of the Purchaser (the "Purchaser Column"). That number of Warrant Shares
shown under the Purchaser Column on the line item delineated "At




<PAGE>   5

Closing" shall be fully vested upon issuance and the Warrant thereafter may be
exercised at any time for such number of Warrant Shares, subject to the terms
and conditions of this Warrant. If, on March 31, June 30, September 30 and
December 31 of each year, commencing March 31, 2000 and continuing through and
including December 31, 2002, the Original Purchaser (or any Affiliate thereof)

Original Purchaser pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement (including,
for purposes hereof, any Subordinated Notes issued after December 30, 1999 in
lieu of cash dividends on the Subordinated Notes), that number of Warrant
Shares shown under the Purchaser Column on the line item with the corresponding
date, shall be fully vested and the Warrant thereafter may be exercised at any

to which the Warrant has not previously been exercised), subject to the terms
and conditions of this Warrant.

         "Warrant Shares" means the number shares of Common Stock issuable upon
exercise of this Warrant as determined in accordance with Schedule 1 hereto
under the name of the Purchaser (or one of its Affiliates) on such Schedule 1,
subject to adjustment as provided herein.

         SECTION 3. No Voting Rights. This Warrant shall not entitle the holder
hereof to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of Holdings.

         SECTION 4. Adjustment to Warrant Shares.

         (a) If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of
         Common Stock through the declaration of stock dividends, stock splits
         or similar transactions, the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon
         exercise of the Warrant shall be automatically adjusted to reflect
         such stock dividends, stock splits or similar transactions.

         (b) In case of any reclassification of the Common Stock or any
         consolidation of Holdings with, or merger of Holdings into, any other
         Person, any merger of another Person into Holdings (other than a
         merger that does not result in any reclassification, conversion,
         exchange or cancellation of outstanding shares of Common Stock), any
         sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of Holdings
         or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which share exchange the
         Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or other
         property, then lawful provision shall be made as part of the terms of
         such transaction whereby the Holder of the Warrant shall have the
         right thereafter, during the period the Warrant shall be exercisable,
         to exercise the Warrant for (but only for) the kind and amount of
         securities, cash and other property receivable upon the
         reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
         exchange by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock into
         which the Warrant would have been exercisable immediately prior to the
         reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share
         exchange. Holdings or the Person formed by the




<PAGE>   6

         consolidation or resulting from the merger or which acquires such
         assets or which acquires Holdings' shares, as the case may be, shall
         make provision in its certificate or articles of incorporation or
         other constituent documents to establish such rights. The certificate
         or articles of incorporation or other constituent documents shall
         provide for adjustments, which, for events subsequent to the effective
         date of the certificate or articles of incorporation or other
         constituent document, shall be as nearly equivalent as may be
         practicable. to the adjustments provided for in this Section 4(b). The
         provisions of this Section 4(b) shall similarly apply to successive
         reclassifications, consolidations, mergers, sales, transfers or share
         exchanges.

         SECTION 5. Replacement. Upon receipt of evidence satisfactory to
Holdings (an affidavit of the Registered Holder shall be satisfactory) of the
ownership and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of any certificate
evidencing this Warrant, and in the case of any such loss, theft or
destruction, upon receipt of indemnity satisfactory to Holdings or, in the case
of any such mutilation upon surrender of such certificate, Holdings shall, at
the expense of the Registered Holder, execute and deliver in lieu of such
certificate a new certificate of like kind representing the same rights
represented by such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate and dated
the date of such lost, stolen, destroyed or mutilated certificate.

         SECTION 6. Notices. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, all
notices and deliveries referred to in this Warrant shall be in writing, shall
be delivered personally, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt
requested and postage prepaid or sent via nationally recognized overnight
courier or via facsimile and shall be deemed to have been given when so
delivered (or when received, if delivered by any other method) if sent (i) to
Holdings, at its principal executive offices and (ii) to the Registered Holder,
at such holder's address as it appears in the records of Holdings (unless
otherwise indicated by such holder).

         SECTION 7. Warrant Register. Holdings shall maintain at its principal
executive offices books for the registration and, to the extent permitted by
(a) the laws of the State of Delaware and (b) pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the
registration of transfer of the Warrant. Upon any transfer of the Warrant, the
Registered Holder shall deliver to Holdings a Transfer Agreement substantially
in the form set forth in Exhibit B hereto. Holdings may deem and treat the
Registered Holder as the absolute owner hereof (notwithstanding any notation of
ownership or other writing hereon made by anyone) for all purposes and shall
not be affected by any notice to the contrary. As a condition to the transfer
of this Warrant, the transferee shall be required to deliver a written
acknowledgment of its agreement to the vesting provisions of this Warrant.

         SECTION 8. Fractions of Shares. Holdings may, but shall not be
required to, issue a fraction of a Warrant Share upon the exercise of this
Warrant. As to any fraction of a share which Holdings elects not to issue,
Holdings shall




<PAGE>   7

make a cash payment in respect of such fraction in an amount equal to the same
fraction of the fair market value of a Warrant Share on the date of such
exercise as determined by the Board of Directors of Holdings in its sole
discretion.

         SECTION 9. Descriptive Headings; Governing Law. The descriptive
headings of the several Sections and paragraphs of this Warrant are inserted
for convenience only and do not constitute a part of this Warrant. THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW
YORK, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAW OR CHOICE OF
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION WHICH WOULD RESULT IN
THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANY JURISDICTION OTHER THAN THE STATE OF NEW
YORK.
