Item 1. Business
General
For a general description of the Company's business, see Business in Brief on page 4 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, which is incorporated herein by reference. The Company employs approximately 7,300 people on a full or part-time basis. The Company's businesses are somewhat cyclical; the second and fourth quarters are typically stronger than the first and third quarters.
Industry Segments
The Company is engaged in three significant industry segments. For financial information concerning these segments and for information concerning the Company's foreign operations see pages 18, 31, 32, 50 and 51 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, which are incorporated herein by reference. Supplemental information concerning each of the Company's significant industry segments is included below.
Newspaper Publishing Business
See pages 6, 8, 10 and 48 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders which are incorporated herein by reference for a description of the business done and principal products produced by the Company in its newspaper publishing business.
The primary raw material used by the Company in its newspaper operations is newsprint, which is purchased from various Canadian and United States sources, including Garden State Paper Company, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Southeast Paper Manufacturing Co., in which the Company owns a one- third equity interest. The newspaper operations of the Company consumed approximately 123,000 tons of newsprint in 1993. Management of the Company believes that newsprint inventory and sources of supply under existing arrangements will be adequate in 1994.
All of the Company's newspapers compete for circulation and advertising with other newspapers published nationally and in nearby cities and towns and for advertising with magazines, radio, television and other promotional media. All of the newspapers compete for circulation principally on the basis of performance, service and price. Since 1985, the Company has owned a 40% interest in Garden State Newspapers, Inc., (GSN) a company established to acquire and operate medium-sized daily newspapers throughout the United States. The Company's 1991 operations include a loss of $78.7 million ($78.3 million after-tax; $3.01 per share) from GSN which largely resulted from GSN management's decision to write down the carrying value of certain assets, mostly intangibles, in light of depressed market conditions. The 1991 loss reduced the Company's investment in GSN to zero. Although GSN's net income for the twelve months ended September 30, 1992, was $12 million, such net income was due entirely to a nonrecurring gain from the sale of a newspaper property, net of operating losses. Consequently, in 1992 the Company did not recognize any equity in GSN's 1992 net income, nor has it since, because it is unlikely to realize any dividends or cash distributions from GSN operations.
Subsequent to December 26, 1993, GSN failed to redeem the Series A and Series C Preferred Stock that previously had been issued to the Company and which was mandatorily redeemable on January 1, 1994. However, the Company has signed a Letter Agreement (Agreement) with GSN and a GSN affiliate whereby it has agreed to a process through which it would sell its 40% common equity interest in GSN, along with its GSN Series A and Series C Preferred Stock, for approximately $62.7 million. Under the terms of the
Agreement, the Company would simultaneously exchange its GSN Series B Preferred Stock for the 9% Preferred Stock of Denver Newspapers, Inc., currently owned by GSN. The Company would continue to hold a warrant to purchase 40% of the common equity of Denver Newspapers, Inc. The Agreement, which will terminate if the contemplated transactions have not occurred by April 29, 1994 (unless extended by mutual agreement of the parties), is subject to various conditions, including the buyer's ability to arrange financing. Consequently, there is no assurance that the transactions will be consummated and, in light of these contingencies, the Company continues to evaluate its options.
Television Business
See pages 12, 14 and 16 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders which are incorporated herein by reference for a description of the business done by the Company in its television business.
The television broadcasting and cable television operations of the Company are subject to the jurisdiction of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the Act). The Act provides, among other things, that television broadcasts may be made only by persons licensed by the FCC. The Company's television stations operate under such licenses. The Act authorizes the FCC to grant or modify licenses on a determination that the "public convenience, interest, or necessity" will be served thereby, and to revoke licenses for violations of the Act, the terms of the license, or for certain other reasons. Licenses may also be revoked by court order or by the FCC if a licensee is found guilty of violations of certain provisions of the antitrust laws.
The maximum term for which the FCC may grant a broadcasting license for a television station is five years, and renewals for periods of not more than five years may be made by the FCC upon considerations similar to those that govern the granting of original licenses. The licenses of WFLA-TV in Tampa and WJKS-TV in Jacksonville were most recently renewed in January 1992, and for WCBD-TV in Charleston in November 1991, and will expire on February 1, 1997, and December 1, 1996, respectively.
FCC rules prohibit further acquisitions which would result in the common ownership of a daily newspaper and a television station in the same market. The rules do not apply retroactively to require divestiture of station WFLA-TV which is under common ownership with the Company's Tampa newspaper.
The FCC has jurisdiction over and has adopted a regulatory program concerning the cable television industry. The FCC's regulations currently mandate blackout protection of certain local stations' network programs and certain sports programs and govern cable television engineering standards, registration and reporting obligations, and other matters, including rules which require the blackout of certain syndicated programs owned by television stations. In 1992, Congress passed, effective December 4, 1992, the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (Cable Act). It contains some provisions that are self-effectuating in that they do not require further FCC action and other provisions that require the FCC to adopt rules for their implementation. Examples of the former are provisions that prohibit cable systems from ownership of certain competitive multichannel video distribution services, a prohibition on franchise authorities awarding exclusive franchises, guidelines for awarding franchises and a provision which generally prohibits a cable operator from selling or otherwise transferring ownership in a cable system within 36 months following acquisition or initial construction of the system. Examples of provisions which required the FCC to adopt rules for their implementation include mandatory cable carriage of local television stations, a requirement that some television stations consent to carriage of their signals (retransmission consent), rate regulation, in-home wiring, new equal employment opportunity reporting requirements, consumer protection and customer service requirements,
provisions prohibiting a cable operator from requiring purchase of particular program packages (tiers), other than the basic service tier, in order to purchase premium program services, and restrictions on indecent programming on access channels. Several of the provisions and the implementing rules may require changes in the Company's operations, but it is impossible to predict with certainty the extent of any future adverse impact on the systems of some or all of these new requirements. Also in 1992, in its video dialtone ruling, the FCC authorized telephone companies to transmit video programming for programmer- customers on a common carrier basis without having to obtain a municipal cable franchise. On February 22, 1994, the FCC announced the adoption of further rules intended to govern rates which cable operators may charge subscribers. Although the specific rules have not yet been published, the Company's preliminary evaluation of the general provisions indicates that the effect will not be material to the Company. Cable rates are subject to local franchise authority and FCC review, and further rate regulation is possible. In addition, many of the rules and regulations described above, particularly those implementing the Cable Act, are the subject of appeals which are pending in court. In addition to regulation by the FCC, cable television systems are also subject to extensive regulation by franchising authorities, and must file semi- annual Statements of Account and copyright royalty payments with the Copyright Office of the United States.
The information contained in the preceding discussion does not purport to be a complete summary of all the provisions of the Act, the Cable Act or of the rules and regulations of the FCC thereunder, or of pending proposals for other regulation of broadcasting and related activities.
The Company has cable television franchises to operate its existing systems in portions of Fairfax County, Virginia, and adjoining cities and towns, and in Fredericksburg, Virginia, and portions of Spotsylvania and Stafford Counties, Virginia. At December 26, 1993, the Company's cable television systems served approximately 220,000 subscribers on a subscriber payment basis.
The primary source of revenues for WFLA-TV, WJKS-TV, and WCBD-TV is the sale of time to national and local advertisers. Since each of the stations is network affiliated, additional revenue is derived from the network programming carried by each. Expiration dates of the network contracts for WFLA-TV-NBC, WJKS-TV-ABC and WCBD-TV-ABC are April 1995, April 1994 and July 1995, respectively.
The Company's television stations are in competition for audience and advertising revenues with other television and radio stations and cable television systems as well as magazines, newspapers and other promotional media. A number of cable television systems which operate generally on a subscriber payment basis are in business in the Company's broadcasting markets and compete for audience by importing out-of-market television signals or by originating programming. The Company's cable television systems have substantially the same competition as its television stations. The television stations and cable television systems compete for audience on the basis of program content and quality of reception, and for advertising revenues on the basis of price, share of market and performance.
Reference is made to page 49 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders which is incorporated herein by reference for market share and other information regarding the Company's television stations.
Newsprint Paper Manufacturing Business
For a description of the business done, principal products produced and sources and availability of raw materials used by the Company in its newsprint paper manufacturing business, see pages 16 and 18 of the 1993 Annual Report to Stockholders, which are incorporated herein by reference.
In addition to its Garden State Paper Company, Inc., (Garden State) mill in Garfield, New Jersey, the Company owns a 33 1/3% interest in the Southeast Paper Manufacturing Co. newsprint mill in Dublin, Georgia, which licenses and utilizes the Garden State process, a proprietary de-inking technology for the production of 100 percent recycled newsprint from recovered used newspapers. The Company earns royalties and fees pursuant to a contract with this venture, in addition to its share of operating results. The Company also owns a 49% interest in a Mexican newsprint mill near San Luis Potosi, Mexico, from which the Company receives option fees based on production. Under the terms of the Company's Option Agreement with this affiliate, the Company will continue to receive such fees through October 15, 1994. Unless some other form of divestiture is agreed to, on that date the affiliate's majority owner is expected to exercise its option to buy the Company's capital stock investment in the affiliate for $3.6 million, after which no further fees would be paid to the Company.
Garden State owns certain United States patent rights and also has obtained patents in various foreign countries. Although these have been of value, their loss would not materially affect the conduct of its business as the Company has developed substantial proprietary knowledge related to its manufacturing process which enhances its competitive position.
Garden State competes with approximately twenty Canadian and American companies in selling newsprint, its sole product, to newspaper publishers. Distribution from the Garden State mill is primarily by truck transportation. Competition is based principally on price, quality of product, and service, although the percentage of recovered fiber contained in manufactured newsprint is becoming increasingly important to newspaper publishers to meet various existing and proposed state and federal standards.
Item 2.


Item 2. Properties
The Company's headquarters and Richmond Newspapers, Inc., are located in Richmond, Virginia, in five adjacent buildings. In addition, Richmond Newspapers, Inc., completed and placed in service, on June 1, 1992, a 428,000 square foot production and distribution facility, located on an 86 acre site in Hanover County, Virginia, near Richmond. The Tampa, Florida, newspapers are published in a single unit production plant and office building located on a six acre tract in that city. The Winston-Salem, North Carolina, newspapers are also published in a single unit plant, although a new 140,000 square foot production and distribution facility, scheduled for completion in mid-1994, is currently under construction on a 12 acre site located near the present facility. All of the foregoing properties are Company-owned.
Television facilities for WFLA-TV Tampa, Florida, WJKS-TV Jacksonville, Florida, and WCBD-TV Charleston, South Carolina, are located on land owned by the Company in and around these respective cities.
Media General Cable of Fairfax County, Inc., a subsidiary of the Company, has headquarters located in one building owned by the Company in Chantilly, Virginia, and two head-ends located in Fairfax County, Virginia, one on property owned by the Company and adjacent to its production studio and one on leased property. In addition, Fairfax Cable leases an operations center for its service maintenance fleet in Springfield, Virginia. The cable system includes a home subscriber network and a separate institutional network.
Newsprint production facilities of Garden State consist of a mill in Garfield, New Jersey, housing two paper-making machines adjacent to a power plant which supplies it with steam and electric power. Both the mill and the power plant are owned by Garden State. Garden State also owns or leases substantial storage facilities for waste paper in the general vicinity of the newsprint mill.
Item 3.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
Certain of the Company's subsidiaries have been identified as potentially responsible parties, along with many other businesses unrelated to the Company, in connection with the alleged soil and/or groundwater contamination at a former commercial waste disposal site, a former industrial drum recycling location and a former waste oil recycling location. With respect to these matters, these subsidiaries have contributed, or may in the future be asked to contribute, to the costs of site assessment and cleanup. In addition, the Company and one of its subsidiaries are currently involved in environmental assessment and remediation projects at one facility formerly owned, and one facility currently owned. While the ultimate costs of the foregoing matters are not presently determinable, based on information currently available, management believes such costs will not be material to the Company's financial position or results of operations.
