Commenting on the announcement,
"Our focus on cost containment and reductions in capital spending enable
us to continue generating strong free cash flow. On a trailing 12-month
basis, the Company has reduced debt by
"We are very well positioned to achieve top-line growth and strong incremental bottom-line improvement as economic conditions eventually stabilize and improve. In the coming months, we'll continue to benefit from accelerating political spending, but we foresee continued weakness from numerous key ad categories, which will limit our revenue upside.
"The local television medium, coupled with an aggressive local digital strategy, is far and away the most valuable advertising and marketing alternative for local businesses," Barrett added. "Television's superior reach and digital's local targeting capabilities are an ideal solution for advertisers, who must continue to market their products and services in a competitive and challenging economic environment. Our Company believes in the value of the television medium, and in the valuable business model that we have for today and tomorrow."

HTV's on-line audience continues to grow. During second quarter, average monthly unique visitors nearly doubled while quarterly page views and video streams increased a healthy 24% and 51%, respectively. We attribute this growth to:
-- Aggressive on-line coverage of breaking news, especially the
devastating flooding in
-- Upgraded weather presentations and products as part of our redesigned weather sections of WCVB, KCCI, KMBC, WMUR, WISN and WLKY. WCVB in particular experienced a 200% increase in page views following the upgrade.
-- A growing appetite from consumers to view broadband video, which we have satisfied through an investment in technology that made it easier and faster for our stations to upload video.
-- We have the #1 local television website in 13 of our 16 Nielsen/NetRatings measured markets, and even lead the local newspaper competition in 4 of those markets, according to the June Nielsen/NetRatings visitors report.

Supplemental Disclosures Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Information
Adjusted EBITDA
In order to evaluate the operating performance of our business, we use
certain financial measures, some of which are calculated in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in
We use the adjusted EBITDA measure as a supplemental financial metric to evaluate the performance of our business that, when viewed together with our GAAP results and the accompanying reconciliations, we believe provides a more complete understanding of the factors and trends affecting our business than the GAAP results alone. Adjusted EBITDA is a common alternative measure of financial performance used by investors, financial analysts, and rating agencies. These groups use adjusted EBITDA, along with other measures, to estimate the value of a company, compare the operating performance of a company to others in its industry, and evaluate a company's ability to meet its debt service requirements. In addition, adjusted EBITDA is a key financial measure for the Company's stockholders and financial lenders, since the Company's current debt financing agreements require the measurement of adjusted EBITDA, along with other measures, in connection with the Company's compliance with debt covenants.
We define adjusted EBITDA as net income adjusted to exclude the following line items presented in our consolidated statements of income: interest expense; interest income, interest expense, net - Capital Trust; income taxes; depreciation and amortization; equity in income or loss of affiliates; other income and expense; and non-recurring special charges. Set forth below are descriptions of each of the financial items that have been excluded from net income in order to calculate adjusted EBITDA as well as the material limitations associated with using adjusted EBITDA rather than net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, when evaluating the operating performance of our core operations.
-- Interest expense, Interest income and Interest expense, net - Capital Trust. By excluding these expenses, we are better able to compare our core operating results with other companies that have different financing arrangements and capital structures. Nevertheless, the amount of interest we are required to pay does reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use in our core business and therefore may be useful for an investor to consider.
-- Income tax expense. By excluding income taxes, we are better able to compare our core operating results with other companies that have different income tax rates. Nevertheless, the amount of income taxes we incur does reduce the amount of funds otherwise available for use in our core business and therefore may be useful for an investor to consider.
-- Depreciation and amortization. By excluding these non-cash charges, we are better able to compare our core operating results with other companies that have different histories of acquiring other businesses. Nevertheless, depreciation and amortization are important expenses for investors to consider, even though they are non-cash charges, because they represent generally the wear and tear on our property, plant and equipment and the gradual decline in value over time of our intangible assets with finite lives. Furthermore, depreciation expense is affected by the level of capital expenditures we make to support our core business and therefore may be useful for an investor to consider.
-- Impairment Loss. The impairment loss is a non-recurring, non-cash item resulting from the write down of intangibles and goodwill as part of our routine FAS 142 analysis. Excluding the impairment loss provides investors with more comparable information about our Company's operating performance.
-- Equity in loss (income) of affiliates, net. This is a non-cash item which represents our proportionate share of income or loss from affiliates in which we hold minority interests. As we do not control these affiliates, we believe it is more appropriate to evaluate the performance of our core business by excluding their results. However, as we make investments in affiliates for purposes which are strategic to the Company, the financial results of such affiliates may be useful for an investor to consider.
-- Other expense and special charges. These are non-recurring items which are unrelated to the operations of our core business and, when they do occur, can fluctuate significantly from one period to the next. By excluding these items, we are better able to compare the operating results of our underlying, recurring core business from one reporting period to the next. Nevertheless, the amounts and the nature of these items may be useful for an investor to consider, as they can be material and can sometimes increase or decrease the amount of funds otherwise available for use in our core business.

Free Cash Flow
In order to evaluate the operating performance of our business, we use the non-GAAP measure free cash flow. Free cash flow reflects our net cash flow from operating activities less capital expenditures. Free cash flow is a primary measure used not only internally by our management, but externally by our investors, analysts and peers in our industry, to value our operating performance and compare our performance to other companies in our peer group. Our management believes that free cash flow provides investors with useful information concerning cash available to allow us to make strategic acquisitions and investments, service debt, pay dividends, meet tax obligations, and fund ongoing operations and working capital needs. Free cash flow is also an important measure because it allows investors to assess our performance in the same manner that our management assesses our performance.
However, free cash flow is not an alternative to net cash flow provided by operating activities, as calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, and should not be relied upon as such. Specifically, because free cash flow deducts capital expenditures from net cash flow provided by operating activities, investors and potential investors should consider the types of events and transactions which are not reflected in free cash flow. In addition, our calculation of free cash flow may or may not be consistent with that of other companies. We strongly urge investors and potential investors in our securities to review the reconciliation presented in the table below of free cash flow to net cash flow provided by operating activities, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure.
The following table provides a reconciliation of net cash flow provided by operating activities to free cash flow in each of the periods presented:
