2010 SIGNIFICANT HIGHLIGHTS

  Consolidated revenue increased 12% driven by both local and national advertising revenue within the broadcasting segment.

  21% increase in consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”)1. This is significant growth year-over-year and is net of $3.0 million in copyright fees which arose due to a Copyright Board ruling in July 2010. Excluding this ruling and the one time recovery of CRTC Part II fees in 2009, EBITDA would have been 51% higher than the prior year.

  Net income is lower than the prior year due to certain non-operating items. In 2010 the Company incurred a $1.6 million broadcast licence impairment charge negatively impacting net income while 2009 results included a gain on disposal of a broadcasting licence of $5.6 million.

  The Company declared dividends of $0.12 per share on each of its Class A Subordinate Voting Shares (“Class A shares”) and Class B Common Shares (“Class B shares”). This represents a 20% increase over the amount declared in 2009.

  Pursuant to a Normal Course Issuer Bid, the Company repurchased for cancellation 1,459,978 of its outstanding Class A shares for $9.2 million.

  The December 2010 listener ratings results were among the best the Company has ever achieved. The Company ranked #1 in its targeted demographic in the majority of its surveyed markets.
