other periodicals. The Company also owns a 40 percent

Broadcast
Television
Media General’s 14 network-affiliated broadcast
television stations reach more than 22 percent of the
television households in the Southeast, and 5.4 percent
of those in the United States. The Company’s
stations serve attractive markets throughout the
Southeast and are well-positioned to increase market
share, revenues and income.
Cable Television
Media General owns cable franchises in Fairfax County and
Fredericksburg, Virginia, with a total of more than
250,000 subscribers. Fairfax County is home to one of the
most technologically advanced and affluent consumer
populations in the country. With its advanced
120-channel, two-way infrastructure, the Fairfax County
system expects to benefit from growth in interactive
services.
Newsprint
As the largest producer of 100 percent recycled newsprint
in the United States, Media General can hedge against
newsprint price fluctuations. The Company, which uses a
unique de-inking technology, owns a mill in Garfield, New
Jersey, with an annual capacity of 240,000 short tons and
has one-third ownership of a mill in Dublin, Georgia,
with a capacity of 500,000 short tons.
