Re:                               Primary
Television Affiliation Agreements (the “Agreements”) between WKRN, WATE, WBAY,
WRIC, WTEN and American Broadcasting Companies, Inc.


 


Dear Deb:


 


As you are aware, the Agreements for WKRN,
WATE, WBAY. WRIC and WTEN expired by their own terms on September 30, 2004.
Despite our best efforts to come to terms for new affiliation agreements with
you to become effective after this date, we have failed to reach agreement.


 


Notwithstanding the termination of the
Agreements, ABC is willing to continue its affiliation arrangements with you
after September 30, 2004 and hereby agrees to again extend the termination date
for each of the Agreements until December 15, 2004.  This offer to extend the Agreements is
conditioned upon your agreement to continue to clear the weekend edition of
Good Morning America on an interim basis during this extended term.  Also, we are agreed that the compensation
arrangements that we establish for these stations in the new agreements will be
retroactive to October 1, 2004.  All
other terms of the Agreements shall remain unchanged.


 


If you are in agreement with the foregoing,
please promptly sign the enclosed extra copy of this letter and return it to me
at your earliest convenience, at which time the Agreements shall be so amended
and extended.


 


We look forward to continuing to work with
you to reach a mutually acceptable affiliation agreement.


 


Very truly yours,


 


 


John L. Rouse
