Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Basis
of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of Fisher Communications, Inc., its
wholly-owned subsidiaries and any variable interest entities, where applicable (the Company) have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP) for interim
financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for
annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included in the periods presented. Operating results for the three and
six months ended June 30, 2010 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2010, or for any other period. The balance sheet at December 31, 2009 has been derived from the audited
consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for annual financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes should be read in
conjunction with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (2009 Form 10-K).

2. Significant Accounting Policies and Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The significant accounting policies used in preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in the
Companys 2009 Form 10-K. With the exception of those discussed below, there have been no recent accounting pronouncements or changes in accounting pronouncements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, as compared to the
recent accounting pronouncements described in the Companys 2009 Annual Report on Form 10-K, that are of significance, or potential significance, to the Company.

In June 2009, updated authoritative guidance on consolidation was issued. The updated guidance addresses the effects on certain
provisions of previous accounting guidance related to the consolidation of variable interest entities as a result of the elimination of the qualifying special-purpose entity concept and concerns about the application of certain key provisions of
consolidation guidance, including those in which the accounting and disclosures under the standard do not always provide timely and useful information about an enterprises involvement in a variable interest entity. This update is effective
January 1, 2010 for the Company.

Based on the updated authoritative guidance discussed above, the Company determined
that it was appropriate to consolidate its investment in Southwest Oregon Broadcasting Corporation. The Company owns 50% of the outstanding stock of Southwest Oregon Broadcasting Corporation, licensee of a television station in Roseburg, Oregon for
which the Company serves as the manager of the station. The consolidation of this equity investment did not have a significant impact on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Fair Value Measurements

The Company measures certain financial assets at fair value on a recurring basis. The fair value of these financial assets was determined
based on three levels of inputs, of which, the first two levels are considered observable and the last unobservable. The three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value are as follows:

Level 1  Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices
in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of
the assets or liabilities.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist solely of marketable
securities. As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the reported fair value of marketable securities, using Level 1 inputs, was $1.0 million and $1.1 million, respectively. Marketable securities are included in other assets on the
Companys condensed consolidated balance sheets.

As of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, all of the
Companys debt was at a fixed rate and totaled $104.7 and $122.1 million, respectively. The fair market value of long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt
will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The estimated fair value of the Companys long-term debt at June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009 was $103.6 million and $117.2 million, respectively. Fair market
values are determined based on market quotes by brokers. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes do not impact financial position, operations or cash flows.

|(1) | Goodwill and broadcast licenses are considered indefinite-lived assets for which no periodic amortization is recognized. The television and radio broadcast licenses are
issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and provide the Company with the exclusive right to utilize certain frequency spectrum to air its stations programming. While FCC licenses are issued for only a fixed time,
renewals of FCC licenses have occurred routinely and at nominal cost. Moreover, the Company has determined that there are currently no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or other factors that limit the useful lives of its FCC
licenses.

|(2) | Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line basis. Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $58,000 and $117,000, respectively. Total amortization expense for intangible assets subject to amortization for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $59,000 and $118,000, respectively.
|--- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company tests goodwill and intangible assets for impairment at least annually, as of
October 1stof each year, or whenever events indicate
that impairment may exist. The Company has determined that the impairment test should be conducted at the reporting unit level, which, with respect to the broadcast operations, requires separate assessment of each of the Companys television
and radio station groups. The Company determines fair value based on valuation methodologies that include an analysis of market transactions for comparable businesses, discounted cash flows, and a review of the underlying assets of the reporting
unit.

The following table presents the estimated amortization expense for the Companys intangible assets for the
remainder of 2010 and each of the next five years and thereafter (in thousands):

5. Consulting and License Agreement

In March 2010, Fisher Communications, Inc. entered into a three year consulting and license agreement with ACME Television, LLC
(ACME) which was effective April 1, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement the Company provides consulting services to ACMEs The Daily Buzz television show and the Company also licenses certain assets of the program in order
to produce unique content to be distributed on both traditional broadcast and newly created digital platforms. In conjunction with the agreement, the Company was granted an option to purchase the ownership rights to The Daily Buzz television show
until September 30, 2012. This agreement does not meet the criteria for consolidation. Revenues earned under this agreement are recorded in operating revenue and programming and other expenses are recorded in operating costs.

6. Extinguishment of Senior Notes

In the second quarter of 2010, the Company purchased $17.4 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.625% senior notes due in 2014
(Senior Notes). The total consideration for the repurchase was $17.2 million in cash plus accrued interest of $272,000. The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $72,000, comprised of a charge for a write off of related
unamortized debt issuance costs of $272,000 partially offset by a gain on extinguishment of debt of $200,000.

7. Television and Radio
Broadcast Rights and Other Broadcast Commitments

The Company acquires television and radio broadcast rights. The impact of
such contracts on the Companys overall financial results is dependent on a number of factors, including popularity of the program, increased competition from other programming, and strength of the advertising market. It is possible that the
cost of commitments for program rights may ultimately exceed direct revenue from the program. Estimates of future revenue can change significantly and, accordingly, are reviewed periodically to determine whether impairment is expected over the life
of the contract.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had commitments under various agreements of $40.9 million for future
rights to broadcast television programs, rights to sell available advertising time on third party radio stations and commitments under certain network affiliate agreements.

8. Retirement Benefits

The Company has a noncontributory supplemental retirement program for former members of key management. No new participants have been
admitted to this program since 2001 and no current executive officers participate in the program. The program provides for vesting of benefits under certain circumstances. Funding is not required, but the Company has made investments in annuity
contracts and maintains life insurance policies on the lives of the individual participants to assist in payment of retirement benefits. The Company is the owner and beneficiary of the annuity contracts and life insurance policies; accordingly, the
cash value of the annuity contracts and the cash surrender value of the life insurance policies are reported on the balance sheet in the financial statements and the appreciation is included in the consolidated statement of operations. Payment of
the benefits under the supplemental retirement program requires continued employment, involuntary termination or disability through the date of expected retirement. The cost of the program is accrued over the average expected future lifetime of the
participants.

In June 2005, the program was amended to freeze accrual of all benefits to active participants provided under
the program. The Company continues to recognize periodic pension cost related to the program, but the amount is lower as a result of the curtailment.

The net periodic pension cost for the Companys supplemental retirement program is as follows (in thousands):

The discount rate used to determine net periodic
pension cost was 5.57% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010. The discount rate used to determine net periodic pension cost was 5.50% for both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009.

9. Net income (loss) per share

Net income (loss) per share is based upon the weighted average number of shares outstanding during the period. Net income (loss) per share
assuming dilution is based upon the weighted average number of shares and share equivalents outstanding, including the potentially dilutive impact of stock options and restricted stock rights/units issued under the Companys incentive plans.
Common stock options and restricted stock rights/units are converted using the treasury stock method.

rights/units and options to purchase 285,471 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, the effect
of 99,394 restricted stock rights/units and options to purchase 273,921 shares are excluded from the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding because such rights/units and options were anti-dilutive.

10. Stock-Based Compensation

Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 was $371,000 and $603,000, respectively.
Stock-based compensation expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 was $196,000 and $495,000, respectively. Stock-based compensation expense is included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Companys
unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

11. Income Taxes

The Company records an income tax provision or benefit based upon its estimated annual effective tax rate, which is estimated at 34.3% and
35% for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.

The Company recognizes tax expense related to
uncertain tax provisions as part of its income tax provision and recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in interest expense. The U.S. federal statute of limitations remains open for the year 2006 and onward. As of
June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company had not accrued any amounts for interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

The determination of the Companys provision for income taxes and valuation allowance requires significant judgment, the use of
estimates and the interpretation and application of complex tax laws. In assessing whether and to what extent deferred tax assets can be realized, the Company considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax
assets will be realized.

The Company assesses the likelihood of the realizability of its deferred tax assets on a quarterly
basis. Due to the uncertainty of the Companys ability to generate state taxable income a full valuation allowance has been established on the Companys deferred state tax assets. At June 30, 2010, the Company has not recorded a
valuation allowance on its federal deferred tax assets as management believes that it is more likely than not that the Companys federal deferred tax assets are realizable. The amount of net deferred tax assets considered realizable, however,
could be reduced in the future if the Companys projections of future taxable income are reduced or if the Company does not perform at the levels that it is projecting. This could result in an increase in the Companys valuation allowance
for federal deferred tax assets.

12. Segment Information

The Company reports financial data for three segments: television, radio and Fisher Plaza. The television
segment includes the operations of the Companys 20 owned and operated television stations (including a 50%-owned television station) and the Companys internet business. The radio segment includes the operations of the Companys
eight radio stations and two managed radio stations. Corporate expenses are allocated to the television and radio segments on a pro-rata basis. The Fisher Plaza segment includes the operations of a communications center located near downtown Seattle
that serves as home of the Companys Seattle television and radio operations, the Companys corporate offices and third-party tenants. Other includes intercompany transactions between segments and non-allocated corporate items.

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements(Continued)

13. Plaza Fire Expense (Reimbursement)

In July 2009, an electrical fire contained within a garage level equipment room of the east building of Fisher Plaza disrupted
city-supplied electrical service to that building. According to a third-party investigation, the fire appears to have been caused by a malfunction of bus duct equipment manufactured by a third-party.

The Company recorded the Plaza fire expenses as incurred and recorded insurance reimbursements within operating results in the period the
reimbursements were considered probable and certain. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, the Company recorded net reimbursements of $309,000 and $400,000, respectively, which is included in Plaza fire expenses (reimbursement),
net on the Companys condensed consolidated statements of operations. In total, the Company has incurred approximately $6.8 million in cash expenditures related to the Fisher Plaza fire, comprised of remediation expenses of $3.7 million and
capital expenditures of $3.1 million. To date, the Company has received total insurance reimbursements of $2.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2009, the Company recognized total Plaza fire expenses of $2.7 million, consisting of a
$1.5 million loss on fixed assets destroyed by the fire and $3.7 million of remediation expenses, offset by $2.5 million of insurance reimbursements.

The Companys insurers have indicated that the event is a covered occurrence under the applicable insurance policies, and the
Company and its insurers remain in active discussions regarding the Companys remaining loss claim related to the incident. The Company currently expects that a significant portion of its incurred costs will be covered by its insurance
policies; however, the actual amount and timing of the reimbursement remains subject to the completion of the insurance companies claims adjustment process. The Company intends to vigorously assert all of its claims related to the Plaza fire
as necessary.

14. Sprint Nextel Asset Exchange

In 2004, the FCC approved a spectrum allocation exchange between Sprint Nextel Corporation (Nextel) and public safety entities
to eliminate interference caused to public safety radio licenses by Nextels operations.

In order to utilize this
spectrum, Nextel is required to relocate broadcasters to new spectrum by replacing all analog equipment currently used by broadcasters with comparable digital equipment. The Company has agreed to accept the substitute equipment that Nextel will
provide in all of its markets, and in turn must relinquish its existing equipment back to Nextel. All replacement equipment purchases will be paid for directly by Nextel. All other reasonable and necessary costs incurred by the Company in
conjunction with the exchange, both internal and external, will be reimbursed by Nextel.

The Company recognized a gain of
$842,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, which is included in gain on asset exchange, net on the Companys condensed consolidated statements of operations. The gain represents the amount of the substitute
equipment put into use during the period, including installation costs and net of assets disposed. This gain on asset exchange was not reported as a capital expenditure on the statement of cash flows as it was not a cash outflow.

At June 30, 2010, the Company had received approximately $132,000 of the substitute equipment that had not yet been installed. The
$132,000 is recorded as deferred gain in other current liabilities on the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Once the equipment is fully installed and is in use, the deferred gain will be recorded as a gain on the
Companys condensed consolidated statement of operations.

15. Financial Information for Guarantors

At June 30, 2010, the Company had $104.7 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes outstanding. The Senior Notes are fully
and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured, senior basis by the current and future material domestic subsidiaries of the Company.

The condensed consolidated information is presented with the Companys investments in consolidated subsidiaries accounted for under
the equity method, the guarantor subsidiaries, eliminations, and the Company on a consolidated basis. The Company information consists primarily of corporate oversight, administrative personnel and related activities, as well as certain investments.
Condensed consolidated statements of operations are presented for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows are presented for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009.
Also presented are the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2010 and December 31, 2009.

|ITEM 2. | MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
|------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and related
notes thereto included elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Some of the statements in this quarterly report are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking
statements include all passages containing verbs such as aims, anticipates, believes, estimates, expects, hopes, intends, plans, predicts,
projects or targets or nouns corresponding to such verbs. Forward-looking statements also include any other passages that are primarily relevant to expected future events or that can only be fully evaluated by events that
will occur in the future. There are many risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those predicted in our forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those factors discussed under the caption
Risk Factors in Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 12, 2010. Readers are cautioned not to
place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this report. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to revise any forward-looking statements in order to reflect events or circumstances that
may subsequently arise. Readers are urged to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that attempt to advise interested parties of the risks
and factors that may affect our business, prospects and results of operations. As used herein, unless the context requires otherwise, when we say we, us, our, or the Company, we are referring to Fisher
Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

This discussion is intended to provide an analysis of significant
trends and material changes in our financial condition and operating results during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, compared with the corresponding periods in 2009.

Overview

We are an
integrated media company. We own and operate 13 full power (including a 50%-owned television station) and seven low power television stations and ten owned or managed radio stations. Our television stations are located in Washington, Oregon, Idaho
and California, and our radio stations are located in Washington and Montana. We also own and operate Fisher Plaza, a mixed-use commercial facility located near downtown Seattle that serves as the home for our corporate offices and our Seattle
television and radio stations. We lease a majority of the space at Fisher Plaza to a variety of unaffiliated companies.

Our
broadcasting operations receive revenue from the sale of local, regional and national advertising and, to a much lesser extent, from retransmission consent fees, network compensation, tower rental and commercial production activities. Our operating
results are, therefore sensitive to broad economic trends that affect the broadcasting industry in general, as well as local and regional trends, particularly those affecting the Pacific Northwest economy. The advertising revenue of our stations is
generally highest in the second and fourth quarters of each year, due in part to increases in consumer advertising in the spring, and retail advertising in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. In addition, advertising revenue
is generally higher during election years due to spending by local, state and national political candidates and advocacy groups. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter.

Our television revenue is significantly affected by network affiliation and the success of programming offered by those networks. Our two
largest television stations, KOMO TV and KATU TV, accounted for approximately 60% of our television broadcasting revenue and are affiliated with the ABC Television Network. Nine of our television stations (including a 50%-owned television station)
are affiliated with the CBS Television Network, six of our television stations are affiliated with Univision (Spanish language), one of our television stations is affiliated with the FOX Television Network and the remainder of our television
stations are independent. Our broadcasting operations are subject to competitive pressures from traditional broadcasting sources, as well as from alternative methods of delivering information and entertainment, and these pressures may cause
fluctuations in operating results.

In addition to our broadcasting operations, we own and operate Fisher Plaza, and we lease
space to other companies that are attracted by the property location and infrastructure provided at this facility. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 95% of Fisher Plaza was occupied or committed for occupancy (40% occupied by Fisher entities)
as compared to 97% occupied or committed for occupancy as of December 31, 2009 (43% occupied by Fisher entities). Revenue and operating income from Fisher Plaza are dependent upon the general economic climate, the Seattle economic climate, the
outlook of the telecommunications and technology sectors and commercial real estate conditions, including the availability of space in other competing properties.

Management focuses on key metrics from operational data within our broadcasting and Fisher Plaza operations. Information on significant
trends is provided in the section entitled Consolidated Results of Operations.

Significant Developments

The following significant developments affect the comparability of our financial statements for the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 and 2009.

ACME Agreement.In March 2010, we entered into a three year consulting and license
agreement with ACME Television, LLC (ACME) which is effective April 1, 2010. Under the terms of the agreement we provide consulting services to ACMEs The Daily Buzz television show and we also license certain assets of the
program in order to produce unique content to be distributed on both traditional broadcast and newly created digital platforms. In conjunction with the agreement, we were granted an option to purchase the ownership rights to The Daily Buzz
television show until September 30, 2012. Revenues earned under this agreement are recorded in operating revenue and programming and other expenses are recorded in operating costs.

DataSphere Investment.In December 2009, we purchased shares of Series B preferred stock of DataSphere Technologies, Inc. for $1.5
million in cash. DataSphere is a Software as a Service Web technology and hyperlocal ad sales company focused on generating online profits for media companies. Since August 2009, we have utilized DataSpheres technology and sales solution to
launch over 120 hyperlocal neighborhood websites and revenues earned through DataSpheres sales solution are recorded in operating revenue. We also work with DataSphere in its distribution of its technology and sales solution to other broadcast
companies looking to establish hyperlocal sites.

ABC Affiliation Agreement.In August 2009, we renewed our network
affiliation agreement with American Broadcasting Company, Inc. (ABC). The renewed affiliation agreement, which requires that we pay an annual license fee to ABC for network programming, expires on August 31, 2014.

Retransmission Consent Agreements.In the fourth quarter of 2008 and during 2009 we executed retransmission consent agreements
with substantially all of our satellite and cable distribution partners. Retransmission revenue increased $2.5 million and $4.2 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009. The 2009 amount
excluded $902,000 and $1.8 million of cable retransmission consent fees attributable to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively, under contracts with several cable distribution partners that were executed in the third quarter
of 2009. Including the $902,000 and $1.8 million of retransmission revenue recorded in the third quarter of 2009 but attributable to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, 2010 retransmission revenue increased $1.6 million and $2.4
million from the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, respectively.

Repurchase of Senior Notes. During the
three months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, for total consideration of $11.4 million in cash plus accrued interest of $139,000. A gain on extinguishment of debt was recorded net
of a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of $249,000, resulting in a net gain of approximately $1.2 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased $28.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for
total consideration of $24.4 million in cash plus accrued interest of $637,000. A gain on extinguishment of debt was recorded net of a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of $557,000, resulting in a net gain of approximately $3.0
million.

In the second quarter of 2010, we repurchased $17.4 million aggregate principal amount of our 8.625% senior notes
due 2014, for total consideration of $17.2 million in cash plus accrued interest of $272,000. We recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $72,000 net of a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of $272,000 for the three
months ended June 30, 2010.

Local Marketing Agreement. In May 2009, we entered into a three year Local Marketing
Agreement (LMA) with South Sound Broadcasting LLC (South Sound) to manage one of South Sounds FM radio stations licensed to Oakville, Washington. The station broadcasts our KOMO News Radio programming to FM listeners in
the Seattle  Tacoma radio market. In connection with the LMA, we entered into an option agreement with South Sound, whereby we have the right to acquire the station until May 8, 2012. If we do not exercise the option prior to its
expiration date, we are obligated to pay South Sound up to approximately $1.4 million. Advertising revenue earned under this LMA is recorded as operating revenue and LMA fees and programming expenses are recorded as operating costs.

Fisher Plaza Fire.In July 2009, an electrical fire contained within a garage level equipment room of the east building of Fisher
Plaza disrupted city-supplied electrical service to that building. According to a third-party investigation, the fire appears to have been caused by a malfunction of bus duct equipment manufactured by a third-party. We recorded the Plaza fire
expenses as incurred and recorded insurance reimbursements within operating results in the period the reimbursements were considered probable and certain. All of the final repairs and equipment replacement have been completed as of December 31,
2009. We recorded net reimbursements of $309,000 and $400,000 during the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, respectively.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements,
which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our estimates including, but not limited to, those affecting revenue, goodwill, intangibles and television and
broadcast rights impairment, the useful lives of tangible and intangible assets, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, accounts and insurance receivables and broadcast rights, stock-based compensation expense, income tax provisions and
contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form our basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and
liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions, or if management made different judgments or utilized different estimates. Many of our estimates
or judgments are based on anticipated future events or performance, and as such are forward-looking in nature, and are subject to many risks and uncertainties, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
December 31, 2009 and elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Except as otherwise required by law, we do not undertake any obligation to update or revise this discussion to reflect any future events or circumstances.

For a detailed discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates, please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009.

There have been no material changes in the application of our critical accounting policies and
estimates subsequent to that report. We have discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors.

Consolidated Results of Operations

We report financial data for three segments: television, radio and Fisher Plaza. The television segment includes the operations of 20
owned and operated television stations (including a 50%-owned television station) and our internet business. The radio segment includes the operations of three Seattle radio stations and five Montana radio stations and two managed radio stations.
Corporate expenses are allocated to the television and radio segments on a pro-rata basis. The Fisher Plaza segment consists of the operations of Fisher Plaza, a communications center located near downtown Seattle that serves as the home of our
Seattle-based television and radio operations, our corporate offices, and third-party tenants. Fisher-owned entities that reside at Fisher Plaza do not pay rent, but do pay common-area maintenance expenses. The segment data presented below includes
additional allocation of depreciation and certain operating expenses from Fisher Plaza to our Seattle-based television and radio operations.

Comparison of Three and Six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009

Revenue

The U.S. financial crisis and broader economic recession resulted in sharp declines in advertising
spending in 2009, which had a negative impact on our television and radio revenue. However, there were signs of economic recovery in the first quarter of 2010, which continued into the second quarter. This improvement resulted in increases in
advertising revenue for both television and radio for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009.

Automotive-related advertising, one of our largest advertising categories, increased 85% and 70%,
respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009. Other categories including retail (increased 26% and 22%, respectively) and professional services (increased 22% and 21%, respectively) have
also shown improvement compared to the same period 2009.

Television revenue increased $8.3
million or 37%, in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 which is attributable to increases in local and national advertising revenue of 20% as well as increases in political spending of $1.3 million and
increases in retransmission revenue of $2.5 million. Retransmission revenue increased as a result of new retransmission consent agreements with over 50 distribution partners in the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009. Retransmission revenue for the
second quarter of 2009 does not include $902,000 of cable retransmission consent fees attributable to that quarter but not recorded until the third quarter of 2009 as certain contracts were not executed until the third quarter of 2009. If the
$902,000 of retransmission revenue had been recorded in the second quarter of 2009, second quarter 2010 retransmission revenue would have increased $1.6 million, or 95% from the second quarter of 2009.

Television revenue increased $14.6 million or 34% in the six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same period in 2009 which is attributable to increases in local and national advertising revenue of 20%, as well as increases in political spending of $2.0 million and increases in retransmission revenue of $4.2 million.
Retransmission revenue increased as a result of new retransmission consent agreements with over 50 distribution partners in the fourth quarter of 2008 and in 2009. Retransmission revenue for the first half of 2009 does not include $1.8 million of
cable retransmission consent fees attributable to that period as certain contracts were not executed until the third quarter of 2009. If the $1.8 million of retransmission revenue had been recorded in the first half of 2009, for the first half of
2010 retransmission revenue would have increased $2.4 million, or 66% from the first half of 2009.

Revenue from our
ABC-affiliated stations increased 36% and 35%, respectively, in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to increases in local and national advertising revenue and increased retransmission
revenue. Revenue from our CBS-affiliated stations increased 21% and 22% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009, also primarily due to increased local and national advertising revenue and increased
retransmission revenue. Revenue from our Spanish-language television stations increased 54% and 35% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to increased national advertising revenue
and retransmission revenue.

Radio revenue increased 8% in both the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the same periods in 2009, primarily due to an increase in national advertising revenue driven by higher ratings.

Fisher Plaza
revenue increased 3% and 1% in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to increased rental revenue and service fees, as well as increased electrical infrastructure fees and tenant
reimbursements. As of June 30, 2010, approximately 95% of Fisher Plaza was occupied or committed for occupancy (40% was occupied by Fisher entities).

Direct operating costs

Direct operating costs consist primarily of costs to produce and promote broadcast programming for the television and radio segments, and
costs to operate Fisher Plaza. Many of these costs are relatively fixed in nature and do not necessarily vary on a proportional basis with revenue.

Direct operating costs for the television segment increased $1.2 million and $2.1 million in the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the same periods in 2009. The increase reflects an increase in our network programming costs following the renewal of our ABC affiliation agreement and an increase in payroll taxes and employee benefits.

Direct operating costs increased for the radio segment $454,000 and $586,000 in the three and six months ended June 30, 2010
compared to the same periods in 2009. The increase was primarily from fees related to our LMA with South Sound.

Direct
operating costs increased at Fisher Plaza $11,000 and $81,000 in the three and six months ended June 30 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to planned maintenance activities and an increase in property taxes.

The other category consists primarily of the reclassification and elimination of certain operating expenses between operating segments.
For example, KOMO TV and our Seattle-based radio stations recognize facilities-related expenses as selling, general and administrative expenses, while Fisher Plaza records the reimbursement of these intercompany expenses as a reduction of direct
operating costs.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

The increase of $762,000 and $1.8 million in selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment in the three and six
months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to increased sales commissions on higher local and national revenue.

The increase of $178,000 and $450,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses in our radio segment in the three and six months
ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 was primarily due to higher sales commissions related to the increase in radio revenue.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $14,000 at Fisher Plaza in the three months ended June 30, 2010 compared to
the same period in 2009. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $104,000 at Fisher Plaza in the six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 due to a loss on disposal of assets.

Other selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million and $849,000 in the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to increases in compensation expense partially offset by a decrease in supplemental retirement plan expenses resulting from an actuarial gain on the death benefit for certain life insurance and
annuity contracts.

Amortization of program rights

Amortization of program rights for our television segment increased $682,000 and $1.4 million in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to the addition of new programs for broadcast on our KOMO TV and KATU TV stations.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization for our television segment increased $167,000 and $393,000 in the three and six months ended June 30,
2010 compared to the same periods in 2009 primarily due to the fixed asset additions as a result of the Sprint Nextel exchange.

Depreciation and amortization for our radio segment for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 slightly increased compared to
the same periods in 2009.

Depreciation and amortization for our Fisher Plaza segment increased $109,000 and $126,000 during
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 primarily as a result of fixed asset replacement expenditures related to the Fisher Plaza fire and the buildout for the relocation of our corporate offices from the Plaza West building to the Plaza
East building.

Other depreciation and amortization increased $24,000 and $103,000 in the three and six months ended
June 30, 2010 compared to the same periods in 2009, primarily due to asset additions associated with information technology infrastructure replacements or upgrades.

Plaza fire expenses (reimbursements), net

Plaza fire expenses (reimbursements), net were $309,000 and $400,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 and represent
net insurance reimbursements related to the July 2009 Fisher Plaza fire.

Gain on asset exchange, net

Gain on asset exchange, net was $842,000 and $1.8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2010. This
amount represents the substitute equipment received from Sprint Nextel and the costs of installing the equipment. Upon installation and use of the equipment, the gain net of disposals was recorded.

Other income, net

Other income, net, typically consists of interest and other miscellaneous income received. The decrease of $428,000 and $665,000 in the
three and six months ended June 30, 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was due to a decline in interest rates and cash balances.

Gain (loss) on extinguishment of senior notes, net

During the three months ended June 30, 2010, we repurchased $17.4 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes for total
consideration of $17.2 million in cash plus accrued interest of $272,000. A loss on extinguishment of debt of $72,000 was recorded net of a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of $272,000.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased $12.8 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes, for total
consideration of $11.4 million in cash plus accrued interest of $139,000. A gain on extinguishment of debt was recorded net of a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of $249,000, resulting in a net gain of approximately $1.2 million.
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we repurchased $28.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for total consideration of $24.4 million in cash plus accrued interest of $637,000. A gain on extinguishment of debt was recorded
net of a charge for related unamortized debt issuance costs of $557,000, resulting in a net gain of approximately $3.0 million.

Interest expense

Interest expense consists primarily of interest on our Senior Notes and amortization of the related financing fees. Interest expense in
the three and six months ended June 30, 2010 decreased $348,000 and $941,000 from the same periods in 2009, due to the decline in the principal balance following our repurchase of Senior Notes during 2009 and the second quarter of 2010.

Benefit for income taxes

Our effective tax was 34% and 35% for 2010 and 2009, respectively. Our effective tax rate is calculated on the statutory rate of 35%,
increased or decreased for estimated permanent differences, including non-deductible expenses, and changes in discrete or other non-recurring items, including federal or state tax audit adjustments. We record our income tax provision or benefit
based upon our estimated annual effective tax rate.

Due to the uncertainty of our ability to generate sufficient state
taxable income to realize our deferred state tax assets, we continue to record a 100% valuation allowance for these deferred tax assets. As a result, our effective tax rate is not affected by changes in the state tax rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Liquidity

Our liquidity is primarily dependent upon our net cash flows from operations and our cash and cash equivalents. Our net cash flows from
operations is sensitive to many factors, including changes in working capital and the timing and magnitude of capital expenditures. Our working capital is dependent upon many variables, including operating results and the timing of cash receipts and
payments. We currently intend to finance our working capital, debt service and capital expenditures primarily through operating activities and cash on hand. Given the continued general uncertainty in the current economic environment and its effect
on the broadcasting industry and our business, we continue to closely monitor our capital spending plan and operating expenses.

The recent economic recession and the ongoing tight investment and credit markets significantly negatively impacted advertising spending
by our customers in various categories. While general economic conditions improved in the first half of 2010, if the improvement is not sustained we believe that our revenue, cash flow from operations and net income may again be negatively impacted
and may decline.

We expect cash flows from operations and our cash and cash equivalents to provide sufficient liquidity to
meet our cash requirements for operations, projected working capital requirements and planned capital expenditures and commitments for at least the next 12 months.

Capital Resources

Cash and cash equivalents were approximately $37.4 million as of June 30, 2010 compared to cash and cash equivalents of $44.0 million
as of December 31, 2009.

We recorded approximately $11.7 million as an income tax receivable at December 31, 2009
based on the expected tax refund from the 2009 loss carry back. In April 2010, we received approximately $10.0 million for our income tax refund.

As of June 30, 2010, we had outstanding $104.7 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes. See Description of
Indebtedness below. The Senior Notes Indenture contains certain restrictive and financial covenants applicable to our business, and we analyze our compliance with those covenants on an ongoing basis.

Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities

Net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 of $16.8 million consists of our net loss of $1.9
million plus our net non-cash charges of $11.9 million, which consisted primarily of depreciation and amortization, amortization of broadcast rights and gain on exchange of assets and a $13.0 million change in working capital, of which $9.0 million
related to a decrease in income taxes receivable and payable, less $6.2 million of payments for broadcast rights.

Net cash
used in operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $3.5 million consisted of our net loss of $6.4 million and payments for broadcast rights of $4.6 million partially offset by non-cash charges of $8.4 million which consisted
primarily of depreciation and amortization, amortization of program rights, stock-based compensation, loss on disposal of fixed assets and gain on extinguishment of Senior Notes.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2010, cash flows used in investing activities consisted primarily of $6.0 million in purchases
of property, plant and equipment, offset by $75,000 from the consolidation of a noncontrolling interest. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, cash provided by investing activities consisted primarily of proceeds from the sale of
short-term investments of $60.0 million, offset by $5.3 million for the purchase of property, plant and equipment.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2010 was $17.3 million, primarily due to the retirement of
$17.4 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for total consideration of $17.2 million in cash, payments on capital lease agreements and net share settlement of stock compensation tax obligations for employees. Net cash used in financing
activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 of $24.5 million consisted of the retirement of $28.0 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes for total consideration of $24.4 million in cash.

Description of Indebtedness

At June 30, 2010, we had $104.7 million aggregate principal amount of our Senior Notes outstanding. The Senior Notes are fully and
unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured, senior basis by our current and future material domestic subsidiaries. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semiannually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each
year. The Senior Notes are due on September 15, 2014.

The indenture governing our Senior Notes contains provisions that
limit our ability to distribute proceeds from asset sales. In the event that we do not use the proceeds from asset sales for qualifying purposes (as specified in the indenture) within 360 days from the date of sale, we will be required to offer
to repurchase outstanding Senior Notes at par value to the extent of such unused proceeds. Under the indenture, qualifying purposes include: (i) repayment of secured indebtedness; (ii) purchase of assets used or useful in our business;
(iii) certain acquisitions of other companies; (iv) expenditures used or useful in our business; and (v) certain investments in our company or our subsidiaries.

We are subject to various debt covenants and other restrictions under the indenture, including the requirement for early payments upon
the occurrence of certain events, the violation of which could require repayment of the Senior Notes and affect our credit rating and access to other financing. We were in compliance with all debt covenant requirements at June 30, 2010.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

The market risk in our financial instruments represents the potential loss arising from adverse changes in financial rates. We are exposed
to market risk primarily in the area of interest rates. This exposure is directly related to our normal funding and investing activities.

At June 30, 2010 all of our debt was at a fixed rate and totaled $104.7 million. At December 31, 2009, our debt totaled $122.1
million. The fair market value of long-term fixed interest rate debt is subject to interest rate risk. Generally, the fair market value of fixed interest rate debt will increase as interest rates fall and decrease as interest rates rise. The
estimated fair value of our long-term debt at June 30, 2010 was $103.6 million, which was approximately $1.1 million less than its carrying value. The estimated fair value of our long-term debt at December 31, 2009 was approximately $117.2
million, which was approximately $4.9 million less than its carrying value. Market risk is estimated as the potential change in fair value resulting from a hypothetical 10% change in interest rates and, as of June 30, 2010, amounted to $3.9
million. Fair market values are determined based on market quotes by brokers. For fixed rate debt, interest rate changes do not impact financial position, operations or cash flows.



|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act)) as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010. Based on their
evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of our fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective in ensuring that the information required to
be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SECs rules and forms, and (ii) accumulated and communicated
to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

We made no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2010 that has materially
affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We intend to continue to refine our internal control over financial reporting on an ongoing basis, as we deem appropriate with a view towards
continuous improvement.
