NEW YORK, Jan 16, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- YBTVA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Young Broadcasting Inc. (NASDAQ: YBTVA | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) announced today that, as part of a strategy to preserve liquidity, it determined to forego making the $6.125 million interest payment due yesterday on the company's 8.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 ("Notes"). Under the indenture relating to the Notes, a 30-day grace period will apply to the missed interest payment.

Young Broadcasting intends to pursue discussions with its debtholders to restructure its balance sheet, improve liquidity, and strengthen its business operations to enhance its value for its employees, viewers, advertisers and local communities. The company does not anticipate that these discussions will impact the operations of its stations or its ability to pay its trade creditors in the ordinary course.

Young Broadcasting has retained UBS Investment Bank and Sonnenschein Nath & Rosenthal LLP to provide advisory services in connection with these restructuring efforts. There can be no assurance that any agreement with respect to any restructuring will be reached or, if any agreement is reached, as to the terms thereof.
