Barrington’s actual consolidated financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2007 compared to Barrington’s actual consolidated financial results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2006, which 2006 results do not include substantially all stations acquired in 2006, are presented below.

Operating expenses, not including depreciation and amortization, increased to $20.2 million from $7.7 million for the second quarter of 2006. The increases were primarily due to the stations acquired from Raycom Media, Inc. in August 2006. The results of those stations are not included in the results for the quarter ended June 30, 2006.
• Net revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2007 increased to $55.1 million from $19.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. Operating expenses, not including depreciation and amortization, increased to $40.6 million from $14.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006. The increases were primarily due to the stations acquired from Raycom Media, Inc. in August 2006. The results of those stations are not included in the results for the six months ended June 30, 2006.

K. James Yager, Chief Executive Officer, commented that “while I am generally pleased with growth in our local revenues for the first six months of the year, as well as our cost containment, the national spot revenue environment remains difficult in certain of our markets.”

As previously announced, Barrington will host a conference call to discuss its second quarter results at 11:00 AM (EDT) on Tuesday, August 14, 2007. The dial-in information for the earnings call is as follows: 1-800-366-3964.

The responses to these questions, as well as other matters discussed during the call, may contain information that has not been previously disclosed.

The information in this press release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and footnotes contained in Barrington’s quarterly report to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the attachments to this press release) are non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., they are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles) and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For definitions of and additional information regarding Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see the attachments to this press release.

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating performance of companies, including broadcast companies. Accordingly, Barrington believes that Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful in assessing Barrington’s operating performance and its ability to meet its debt service requirements. Barrington also believes that these measures allow a standardized comparison between companies in the broadcast industry, while minimizing the differences from depreciation policies, financial leverage and tax strategies.

Local revenues decreased .7% to $18.9 million and national revenues decreased 2.7% to $10.3 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2006.

Operating expenses, not including depreciation and amortization, increased to $20.8 million from $5.8 million for the fourth quarter of 2005. The increases were primarily due to acquisitions of stations completed in the first quarter of 2006 and the stations acquired from Raycom in August 2006. The results of those stations are not included in the 2005 results.
• For the year ended December 31, 2006, net revenues increased to $76.1 million from $25.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2005. Operating expenses, not including depreciation and amortization, increased to $50.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006 from $19.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2005.

The results of the majority of those stations are not included in the 2005 results.

K. James Yager, Chief Executive Officer, commented that “we are very pleased with the results for the year and with the pace of integration of the acquired stations.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA (each as defined in the attachments to this press release) are non-GAAP financial measures (i.e., they are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles) and should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for consolidated statements of operations and cash flow data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as used herein, are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. For definitions of and additional information regarding Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA and a reconciliation of such measures to the most comparable measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, please see the attachments to this press release.

Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are measures commonly used by financial analysts in evaluating performance of companies, including broadcast companies. Accordingly, Barrington believes that Broadcast Cash Flow, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA may be useful in assessing BarringtonÕs operating performance and its ability to meet its debt service requirements. Barrington also believes that these measures allow a standardized comparison between companies in the broadcast industry, while minimizing the differences from depreciation policies, financial leverage and tax strategies.
