Explanatory Note
On September 4, 2014, Media General, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) to, among other things, report under Item 2.01 thereof the completion on September 2, 2014 of the acquisition by the Company of the television station WHTM-TV from Sinclair Television Group, Inc. (the “WHTM Acquisition”) as an acquisition of a significant amount of assets (as defined in Instruction 4 of Item 2.01), and under Item 9.01 that the Company would file the financial statements and pro forma financial information contemplated by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K related to the WHTM Acquisition on or prior to November 18, 2014. Since the filing of the Original Form 8-K, the Company has determined that the WHTM Acquisition does not constitute an acquisition of a significant amount of assets (as defined in Instruction 4 of Item 2.01) and, as such, financial statements and pro forma financial information contemplated by Item 9.01 of Form 8-K are not required to be reported by Form 8-K with respect to the WHTM Acquisition. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original Form 8-K accordingly.
Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
The disclosure contained in Item 2.01 of the Original Form 8-K is hereby deleted in its entirety.
Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.
The disclosure contained in Items 9.01(a) and (b) of the Original Form 8-K is hereby deleted in its entirety.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
