                                                                  CONFORMED COPY

               AMENDMENT NO. 5 AND CONSENT UNDER CREDIT AGREEMENTS

     AMENDMENT NO. 5 dated as of April 25, 2002 to each of the Second Amended
and Restated Credit Agreement (as heretofore amended, the "Second AR Credit
Agreement") and the Credit Agreement (as heretofore amended, the "June 2000
Credit Agreement"; the Second AR Credit Agreement and the June 2000 Credit
Agreement are together the "Credit Agreements" and each is individually a
"Credit Agreement"), each dated as of June 26, 2000 among Young Broadcasting
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks and other financial
institutions listed on the signature pages thereof, Bankers Trust Company, as
Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent") and, in the
case of the Second AR Credit Agreement only, as Issuing Bank, and First Union
National Bank and CIBC World Markets Corp., as Syndication Agents.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Borrower intends to sell substantially all of the assets of
its commercial television broadcast station KCAL-TV, Channel 9 (DTV Channel 43),
in Los Angeles, California;

     WHEREAS, such sale may constitute a Permitted Asset Sale as defined in the
Credit Agreements but the Borrower, for the avoidance of doubt, has asked the
Lenders to consent to such sale by agreeing to amend the Credit Agreements to
provide explicitly that such sale is a Permitted Asset Sale and thus permitted
by the terms of the Credit Agreements and to amend the Credit Agreements further
to provide for certain modifications as set forth herein in the terms and
conditions that will be applicable thereto, and the Lenders party hereto are
willing to do so; and

     WHEREAS, the Borrower has also asked the Lenders under each Credit
Agreement to agree to amend the interest coverage covenant contained in the
Credit Agreements, and the Lenders party hereto are willing to do so on the
terms and conditions set forth herein; and

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                    ARTICLE 2.

                                    Amendment

     Section 2.01. Amendment to Definitions. (a) Section 1.01 of each of the
Credit Agreements is amended by inserting the following definitions in
appropriate alphabetical order:

     materially adverse to the Borrower).

               "KCAL Closing Date" means the date upon which the KCAL Asset Sale
     is consummated.

<PAGE>

          "and the Mandatory Prepayment Excess Amount in connection with the
     KCAL Asset Sale shall be $50,000,000 regardless of the amount that would
     otherwise be applicable without regard to this proviso."

     (d). The definition of "Permitted Asset Sale" in each of the Credit
Agreements is amended by (i) inserting the phrase "or the KCAL Asset Sale"
immediately after the first instance of the phrase "Qualifying FCC-Mandated

clause (b)(z) thereof with the phrase "two (2) days".

     Section 2.02. Consent to KCAL Asset Sale. The Lenders party hereto, for the

2.08(c) of the Second AR Credit Agreement is amended by adding the following
proviso immediately before the period at the end thereof:

     amount to be repaid shall be such amount as is required to cause the
     aggregate outstanding principal amount of the Revolving Advances and
     Swingline Advances to equal zero."

     Section 2.04. Additional Mandatory Prepayment. (a) Section 2.09(b)(iv) of

               "(vii) On the KCAL Closing Date, the Borrower shall prepay the
     entire outstanding principal amount of the Term Loan B Advances. The
     Borrower shall pay the principal amount to be prepaid together with accrued
     interest thereon to the date of prepayment and all amounts then owing under
     Section 2.12 in respect of such prepayment."

     (c). The parties hereto agree that Section 2.09(c) of the June 2000 Credit
Agreement shall not apply to any prepayment required by clause (vii) of Section
2.09(b) of the June 2000 Credit Agreement.

     Section 2.05. Prepayment Notice. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section
2.09(d) of the June 2000 Credit Agreement or Section 2.09(c) of the Second AR
Credit Agreement, notice of any repayment of Term Loan B Advances, Revolving

<PAGE>

the KCAL Asset Sale may be given by the Borrower to the Administrative Agent on
the day such repayment is to be made.

     Section 2.07. Amendment to Prepayment of Debt Covenant. Section 5.02(h)(v)

     Existing Subordinated Debt or Permitted Subordinated debt in an unlimited
     amount, so long as before and after giving effect thereto, (A) no Default
     shall have occurred and be continuing and (B) the Borrower shall be in
     compliance with all Subordinated Debt Documents; and (ii) any Permitted
     Senior Unsecured Debt in an unlimited amount, so long as before and after
     giving effect thereto, (A) no Default shall have occurred and be continuing
     and (B) the Borrower shall be in compliance with all Permitted Senior
     Unsecured Debt Documents."

                                    ARTICLE 3.

                                  Miscellaneous

     Section 3.01. Representations Correct: No Default. The Borrower represents
and warrants that on and as of the date hereof: (i) the representations and
warranties contained in each of the Credit Agreements and each of the other Loan
Documents are correct; and (ii) no event has occurred and is continuing which
(assuming the effectiveness of this Amendment) constitutes (or would constitute)
a Default.

     Section 3.02. Effectiveness. This Amendment No. 5 shall become effective
upon the date (the "Effective Date") when the Administrative Agent receives duly
executed counterparts hereof signed by the Borrower, each Guarantor and the
Majority Lenders (or, in the case of any party as to which an executed
counterpart hereof shall not have been received, receipt by the Administrative
Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other written
confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by such
party), provided that Section 2.04(c) of this Amendment No. 5 and the amendments
to the June 2000 Credit Agreement made thereby shall become effective only if
the Administrative Agent also receives duly executed counterparts hereof signed
by the Majority B Lenders (or, in the case of any Term Loan B Lender as to which
an executed counterpart hereof shall not have been received, receipt by the
Administrative Agent in form satisfactory to it of telegraphic, telex or other
written confirmation from such party of execution of a counterpart hereof by
such party), it being

                                       4

understood that the failure of Section 2.04(c) to become effective shall not
affect the effectiveness of the remaining provisions of this Amendment No. 5 and
the other amendments to the Credit Agreements made thereby.

CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

any term or condition of either of the Credit Agreements or any other Loan
Document, and all such terms and conditions shall remain in full force and
effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

     Section 3.05. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment No. 5 may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed being deemed an original
and all of which taken together constituting one and the same agreement.

                      AMENDMENT NO. 6 TO CREDIT AGREEMENTS

     AMENDMENT NO. 6 dated as of May 13, 2002 to each of the Second Amended and
Restated Credit Agreement (as heretofore amended, the "Second AR Credit
Agreement") and the Credit Agreement (as heretofore amended, the "June 2000
Credit Agreement"; the Second AR Credit Agreement and the June 2000 Credit
Agreement are together the "Credit Agreements" and each is individually a
"Credit Agreement"), each dated as of June 26, 2000 among Young Broadcasting
Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Borrower"), the banks and other financial
institutions listed on the signature pages thereof, Deutsche Bank Trust Company
Americas, as Administrative Agent (in such capacity, the "Administrative Agent")
and, in the case of the Second AR Credit Agreement only, as Issuing Bank, and
First Union National Bank and CIBC World Markets Corp., as Syndication Agents.

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the parties hereto have agreed to amend each of the Credit
Agreements as set forth herein;

     NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:

                                   ARTICLE 1
                                  Definitions

     Section 1.01. Definitions. (a) As used herein, capitalized terms defined
in, or defined by reference in, both Credit Agreements with identical meanings
and not otherwise defined herein, have the respective meanings provided for in
the Credit Agreements, and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein that
are defined in, or by reference in, one of the Credit Agreements and not defined
in the other Credit Agreement, have the respective meanings provided for in the
Credit Agreement wherein such term is defined.

     (b) Each reference to "Bankers Trust Company" or "BTCo" in each of the
Credit Agreements, shall from the date hereof refer to "Deutsche Bank Trust
Company Americas" and "DB", respectively.

                                   ARTICLE 2
                                   Amendment

     Section 2.01. Amendment to Definitions. The definition of "Mandatory
Prepayment Excess Amount" in the Second AR Credit Agreement is amended by
replacing the phrase "the Mandatory Prepayment Excess Amount in connection with
the KCAL Asset Sale shall be $50,000,000 regardless of the amount that would
otherwise be

<PAGE>

applicable without regard to this proviso" with the phrase "the Mandatory
Prepayment Excess Amount in connection with the KCAL Asset Sale shall be zero
regardless of the amount that would otherwise be applicable without regard to
this proviso."

     Section 2.02. Revolving Advances. Notwithstanding any provision of the
Second AR Credit Agreement, commencing immediately following the consummation of
the KCAL Asset Sale and the repayment of the Revolving Advances resulting
therefrom required pursuant to Section 2.08(c) of the Second AR Credit
Agreement, the Borrower may not request Revolving Advances, Swingline Advances
or Letters of Credit if immediately after such Advance or the issuance of such
Letter of Credit, the sum of the aggregate principal amount of all Revolving
Advances, Swingline Advances and Letter of Credit Obligations would exceed
$50,000,000, unless and until the Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio as of the
last day of at least one Fiscal Quarter ended after the date hereof was equal to
or less than 6.5x as set forth in a Notice of Debt to Operating Cash Flow Ratio
and immediately before such request the aggregate amount of the cash and
Temporary Cash Investments held by the Borrower or any Guarantor (excluding
Permitted Acquisition Deposits) is less than $25,000,000.

                                   ARTICLE 3
                                 Miscellaneous

     Section 3.01. Representations Correct: No Default. The Borrower represents
and warrants that on and as of the date hereof: the representations and
warranties contained in each of the Credit Agreements and each of the other Loan
Documents are correct; and no event has occurred and is continuing which
(assuming the effectiveness of this Amendment) constitutes (or would constitute)
a Default.

     Section 3.02. Effectiveness. (a) This Amendment No. 6 shall become
effective upon the date (the "Effective Date") when the Administrative Agent
receives duly executed counterparts hereof signed by the Borrower, each
Guarantor, the Majority Lenders, the Majority RC Lenders and the Issuing Bank
(or, in the case of any party as to which an executed counterpart hereof shall
not have been received, receipt by the Administrative Agent in form satisfactory
to it of telegraphic, telex or other written confirmation from such party of
execution of a counterpart hereof by such party), but only if such counterparts
or confirmations are received prior to the consummation of the KCAL Asset Sale;
if they are not so received, the Effective Date cannot and shall not ever occur.

     (b) If the Effective Date occurs, the Borrower shall pay the Administrative
Agent, in immediately available funds, for the account of each Lender (a
"Consenting Lender") that has evidenced its agreement hereto as provided in
Section 3.02(a) by 3:00 P.M. (New York City time) on May 13, 2002, an amendment
fee in an amount equal to (i) 0.05% of the aggregate outstanding principal
amount of such Consenting Lender's Term

<PAGE>

Loan B Advances and (ii) 0.25% of the Revolving Credit Commitment of each
Consenting Lender (determined as of the opening of business on the Effective
Date). Such amendment fees shall be due to the Administrative Agent on May 14,
2002.

     Section 3.03. Governing Law. THIS AMENDMENT NO. 6 SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, AND
CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.

     Section 3.04. Effect of Amendments. Except as expressly set forth herein,
the amendments contained herein shall not constitute a waiver or amendment of
any term or condition of either of the Credit Agreements or any other Loan
Document, and all such terms and conditions shall remain in full force and
effect and are hereby ratified and confirmed in all respects.

     Section 3.05. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment No. 6 may be
executed in any number of counterparts and by different parties hereto in
separate counterparts, each of which when so executed being deemed an original
and all of which taken together constituting one and the same agreement.

<PAGE>

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment No. 6
to be executed by their respective authorized officers as of the date first
above written.
