areas served by the Company’s television stations, where they compete for television viewers by importing out-of-market
television signals; by distributing pay-cable, advertiser-supported and other programming that is originated for cable
systems; and by offering movies and other programming on a pay-per-view basis. In addition, DBS services provide
nationwide distribution of television programming, including pay-per-view programming and programming packages
unique to DBS, using digital transmission technologies. The Company’s television stations may also become subject to
increased competition from low-power television stations, wireless cable services and satellite master antenna systems,
which can carry pay-cable and similar program material. In addition, movies and television programming are available
free of charge on the websites of the major TV networks, as well as on the ad-supported website Hulu.
