2. The Debtors further request that this Court (as defined below) order that the 

foregoing caption satisfies the requirements set forth in section 342(c)(1) of the Bankruptcy Code. 

3. The Debtors also request that a docket entry, substantially similar to the following, 

be entered on the docket of each of the Debtors other than Alpha Media Holdings LLC to reflect 

the joint administration of these chapter 11 cases: 

An order has been entered in accordance with rule 1015(b) of the Federal

Licensee LLC (21-30215), Alpha Media Communications Inc. (21-30213),

Alpha Media of Joliet Inc. (21-30223), Alpha Media of Lincoln Inc. (21-

30219), Alpha Media of Luverne Inc. (21-30220), and Alpha Media of 

Mason City Inc. (21-30221). The docket in Case No. 21-30209 should be 

consulted for all matters affecting these cases. 

4. Finally, the Debtors seek authority to file the monthly operating reports required by 

the Operating Guidelines and Reporting Requirements of the United States Trustee for Chapter 11 

Debtors-in-Possession and Chapter 11 Trustees, issued by the Office of the United States Trustee 

for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “U.S. Trustee”) on a consolidated basis. The Debtors shall 

track and break out disbursements on a debtor-by-debtor basis in each monthly operating report. 

Jurisdiction and Venue 

5. The United States Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia 

(the “Court”) has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 157 and 1334 and the 

Standing Order of Reference from the United States District Court for the Eastern District of 

Virginia, dated August 15, 1984. The Debtors confirm their consent, pursuant to rule 7008 of the 

Federal Rules of Bankruptcy Procedure (the “Bankruptcy Rules”), to the entry of a final order by 

the Court in connection with this Motion to the extent that it is later determined that the Court, 

absent consent of the parties, cannot enter final orders or judgments in connection herewith 

consistent with Article III of the United States Constitution. 

6. Venue is proper pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1408 and 1409. 

7. The bases for the relief requested herein are section 105(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, 

Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b), and rules 1015-1 and 9013-1 of the Local Rules of the United States 

Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Virginia (the “Local Bankruptcy Rules”).

Background 

8. Alpha Media is the largest privately-held radio broadcast and multimedia company 

in the United States. Formed in 2009 by a veteran radio executive, Alpha Media grew through 

acquisitions and now owns or operates more than 200 radio stations that provide local news, sports, 

music, and entertainment to a weekly audience of more than 11 million listeners in 44 communities 

across the United States. In addition to its radio stations, Alpha Media provides digital content 

through more than 200 websites and countless mobile applications and digital streaming services. 

Alpha Media generates the majority of its revenue from the sale of advertising time on its radio 

stations to a wide range of local, regional, and national advertisers in consumer-focused industries, 

including automotive, entertainment, retail and financial services. Alpha Media’s strong 

relationships with local communities and highly engaging live content have cultivated a passionate 

listener base and attractive platform for advertisers, both of which ultimately distinguish Alpha 

Media from other top radio broadcasters. 

9. Following a healthy financial performance in 2019, the Debtors experienced 

significant headwinds beginning in the first quarter of 2020 due to macroeconomic factors brought 

on by the COVID-19 pandemic. In response, the Debtors commenced these chapter 11 cases to 

implement the terms of a comprehensive, balance-sheet restructuring pursuant to that certain 

restructuring support agreement, dated January 24, 2021, by and between the Debtors, their second 

lien lenders, and holders of their unsecured notes (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”). The 

restructuring transactions contemplated by the Restructuring Support Agreement will effectuate a 

recapitalization of the Debtors’ approximately $267 million of prepetition funded indebtedness, 

preserve the Debtors’ ongoing business operations with limited interruption for their customers 

and employees, and ensure that the Debtors have access to sufficient liquidity not only to weather 

Case 21-30208-KRH Doc 3 Filed 01/25/21 Entered 01/25/21 03:05:43 Desc Main

-8-

the economic downturn brought on by COVID-19, but to succeed upon emergence from 

bankruptcy. 

10. On the Petition Date, each of the Debtors filed a voluntary petition for relief under 

chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. The Debtors are operating their business and managing their 

properties as debtors-in-possession pursuant to sections 1107(a) and 1108 of the Bankruptcy Code. 

No request for the appointment of a trustee or examiner has been made in these chapter 11 cases, 

and no committees have been appointed or designated. 

Basis for Relief 

11. Bankruptcy Rule 1015(b) provides, in pertinent part, that “[i]f . . . two or more 

petitions are pending in the same court by or against . . . a debtor and an affiliate, the court may 

order a joint administration of the estates.” Fed. R. Bankr. P. 1015. The sixteen (16) Debtor 

entities that commenced chapter 11 cases are “affiliates” as that term is defined in section 101(2) 

of the Bankruptcy Code. Accordingly, the Bankruptcy Code and Bankruptcy Rules authorize the 

Court to grant the relief requested herein. 

12. Further, Local Bankruptcy Rule 1015-1 provides additional authority for the Court 

to order joint administration of these chapter 11 cases: 

In all joint petitions filed with the Court, the case will be 

administered through joint administration of the estates unless the 

trustee or other interested party files an objection to joint 

administration within 14 days after the meeting of creditors and 

gives notice of a hearing date on such objection. 

Local Bankr. R. 1015-1. 

13. Joint administration is generally non-controversial, and courts in this jurisdiction 

routinely order joint administration in cases with multiple related debtors. See, e.g., In re Guitar 

Center, Inc., No. 20-34656 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Nov. 23, 2020) (directing joint administration 

of chapter 11 cases); In re Le Tote, Inc., No. 20-33332 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Aug. 3, 2020) 

Case 21-30208-KRH Doc 3 Filed 01/25/21 Entered 01/25/21 03:05:43 Desc Main

(same); In re Ascena Retail Group, Inc., No. 20-33113 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. July 23, 2020) 

(same); In re Intelsat S.A., No. 20-32399 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. May 15, 2020) (same); In re 

Chino Holdings, Inc., No. 20-32180 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. May 5, 2020) (same); In re 

Pier 1 Imports, Inc., No. 20-30805 (KRH) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Feb. 18, 2020) (same); 

In re Gemstone Solutions Grp., Inc., No. 19-30258 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Jan. 17, 2019) (same); 

In re Toys “R” Us, Inc., No. 17-34665 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. Sept. 19, 2017) (same); In re The 

Gymboree Corp., No. 17-32986 (KLP) (Bankr. E.D. Va. June 2, 2017) (same).2

14. Given the integrated nature of the Debtors’ operations, joint administration of these 

chapter 11 cases will provide significant administrative convenience without harming the 

substantive rights of any party in interest. Many of the motions, hearings, and orders in these 

chapter 11 cases will affect each Debtor entity. The entry of an order directing joint administration 

of these chapter 11 cases will reduce fees and costs by avoiding duplicative filings and objections. 

Joint administration also will allow the U.S. Trustee and all parties in interest to monitor these 

chapter 11 cases with greater ease and efficiency. 

15. Moreover, joint administration will not adversely affect the Debtors’ respective 

constituencies because this Motion seeks only administrative, not substantive, consolidation of the 

Debtors’ estates. Parties in interest will not be harmed by the relief requested; instead, parties in 

interest will benefit from the cost reductions associated with the joint administration of these 

chapter 11 cases. Accordingly, the Debtors submit that the joint administration of these 

chapter 11 cases is in the best interests of their estates, their creditors, and all other parties 

in interest.

 Because of the voluminous nature of the orders cited herein, such orders have not been attached to this Motion. 

Copies of these orders are available upon request to the Debtors’ proposed counsel.

Waiver of Memorandum of Points and Authorities 

16. The Debtors respectfully request that this Court treat this Motion as a written 

memorandum of points and authorities or waive any requirement that this Motion be accompanied 

by a written memorandum of points and authorities as described in Local Bankruptcy 

Rule 9013-1(G). 

Notice 

17. The Debtors will provide notice of this Motion via first class mail, facsimile or 

email (where available) to: (a) the Office of the United States Trustee for the Eastern District of 

Virginia, Attn: Kathryn R. Montgomery and B. Webb King; (b) the holders of the 30 largest 

unsecured claims against the Debtors (on a consolidated basis); (c) the agents under the Debtors’ 

prepetition secured facilities and counsel thereto; (d) the agent under the Debtors’ proposed debtorin-possession secured financing facility and counsel thereto; (e) the Federal Communications 

Commission; (f) the Internal Revenue Service; (g) the office of the attorneys general for the states 

in which the Debtors operate; (h) National Association of Attorneys General; and (i) any party that 

has requested notice pursuant to Bankruptcy Rule 2002. The Debtors submit that, in light of the 

nature of the relief requested, no other or further notice need be given. 

No Prior Request 

18. No prior request for the relief sought in this Motion has been made to this or any 

other court.
