Young Broadcasting to Restructure Balance Sheet Through Chapter 11

Company Operations to Continue

  • Friday February 13, 2009, 6:32 pm EST

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Young Broadcasting Inc. (Pink Sheets:YBTVA - News) and certain of its subsidiaries (“Young Broadcasting,” or the “Company”), today announced that to restructure its balance sheet and to ensure the Company’s long-term financial health, it has filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. As is normal in such cases, Young Broadcasting plans to continue operating its television stations without interruption.

“Our decision to restructure through a Chapter 11 filing will allow the Company to bring its debt in line with current economic realities so that we can emerge a stronger and more financially secure company. It is important to note that we are restructuring our debt, not our operations. We believe that the Company will emerge from Chapter 11 better equipped to thrive in this changing economic environment with less leverage. I strongly believe that our Chapter 11 filing is in the best interests of Young Broadcasting, its viewers, advertisers, employees, and other key constituents,” said Vincent Young, Chairman of Young Broadcasting.

Young Broadcasting has set-up a toll-free reorganization hotline (866-212-0222), for viewers, advertisers, employees, or other interested parties who may have questions related to the reorganization. In addition, parties are encouraged to visit the Company’s Chapter 11 case information website at http://chapter11.epiqsystems.com/ybc, for updates and other information surrounding today’s announcement.
