NEW YORK, Sep 10, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- YBTVA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Young Broadcasting, Inc. (NASDAQ: YBTVA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today announced that it received approval from a NASDAQ Listing Qualifications Panel (the "Panel") to transfer the listing of its common stock from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market. The transfer will be effective as of the opening of trading on September 10, 2008. The Company will continue to trade under the symbol "YBTVA."

The NASDAQ Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in the same manner as The NASDAQ Global Market.

All companies listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market must meet certain financial requirements and adhere to NASDAQ's corporate governance standards.

As previously reported, on June 3, 2008, the Company was notified by NASDAQ regarding the Company's non-compliance with the minimum $15 million market value of publicly held shares requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Global Market. As also previously reported, on August 14, 2008, the Company was notified by NASDAQ regarding the Company's non-compliance with the minimum $1.00 per share bid price requirement. The Company subsequently attended a hearing before the Panel at which it addressed these deficiencies. At the Panel hearing, the Company also requested the transfer of its listing to The NASDAQ Capital Market and continued listing pursuant to exceptions to applicable continued listing requirements through November 28, 2008.

The Panel thereafter granted the Company's request to transfer its listing, provided that, by November 28, 2008, the Company evidence compliance with all applicable continued listing standards on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
