         Underlying Shares and (B) the shares or other securities referred to in
         subsection 3.1(c), (1) no equity securities of the Company are required
         to be issued by reason of any outstanding options, warrants, rights to

         whatsoever, (2) there are outstanding no securities or rights
         convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any capital stock of the

                           (v) The consummation of the transactions contemplated
         by this Agreement will not trigger the anti-dilution provisions or
         other price adjustment mechanisms of any outstanding subscriptions,

         commitments, conversion rights or other agreements or arrangements of
         any character or nature whatsoever under which the Company is obligated
         to issue or acquire its capital stock.

                  (d) SEC FILINGS. The Company has filed a true and complete
copy of each report, schedule, registration statement and definitive proxy
statement required to be filed by the Company with the SEC since January 1, 1997
(the "SEC DOCUMENTS"). As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents, after
giving effect to any amendments and supplements thereto and any subsequently
filed SEC Documents filed prior to the date hereof, complied in all material
respects with the requirements of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as the
case may be, applicable to such SEC Documents. None of the SEC Documents when
filed, after giving effect to any amendments and supplements thereto filed prior
to the date hereof, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order
to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they
were made, not misleading.

                  (e) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS; NO MATERIAL ADVERSE CHANGE. (i) The
financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1999, and its Quarterly Reports on Form
10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 1999, June 30, 1999 and September
30, 1999, (the "FINANCIAL STATEMENTS") comply as to form in all material
respects with the applicable accounting requirements and with the published
rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto, have been prepared in
accordance with GAAP during the periods covered thereby (except as may be
indicated in the notes thereto or, in the case of the unaudited statements, as
permitted by Form 10-Q of the SEC, or for normal year-end adjustments) and
fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of
the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as at the dates thereof and the
consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then
ended. Since December 31, 1999 no event has occurred, which alone or together
with other events, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect, except as disclosed in the SEC Documents filed after December 31, 1999
and prior to the date hereof and except to the extent resulting from (x) any
changes in general economic conditions in the United States or (y) any changes
affecting the broadcast and cable television industry in general.

                  (f) FCC AND OTHER REGULATORY MATTERS. (i) The Company has no
knowledge of the occurrence of any event or the existence of any circumstance
which, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, is likely to lead to the
revocation or suspension of any FCC Authorization. Each FCC Authorization is in
full force and effect, and each holder thereof is in substantial compliance
therewith, except for such non-compliance that could not reasonably be expected
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                           (i) The Company and the Company Subsidiaries are in
         all material respects in substantial compliance with the Communications
         Act, including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the
         FCC relating to the broadcast of television


<PAGE>

                                                          Supplemental Agreement

         signals or the operation of the Company's business, except for such
         filings the failure of which to file or to file on a timely basis, and
         except for such noncompliance, that could not reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (g) BROKERS AND FINDERS. Neither the Company nor any
Affiliation Subsidiary has utilized any broker, finder, placement agent or
financial advisor or incurred any liability for any fees or commissions in
connection with any of the transactions contemplated hereby or by the other
Affiliation Documents.

                  (h) ABSENCE OF CERTAIN BUSINESS PRACTICES. None of the
Company, the Affiliation Subsidiaries or any officer, employee or agent thereof,
nor any other Person acting on behalf of the Company or any Affiliation
Subsidiary, has, directly or indirectly, within the past five years given or
agreed to give any gift or similar benefit to any customer, supplier,
governmental employee or other Person or entity who is or may be in a position
to help or hinder the Company (or assist the Company in connection with any
actual or proposed transaction) which (i) subjects any party or any of their
respective Subsidiaries, to any damage or penalty in any civil, criminal or
governmental litigation or proceeding which would have a Material Adverse
Effect, (ii) if not given in the past, could have had a Material Adverse Effect
or (iii) if not continued in the future, could have a Material Adverse Effect.

                  (i) ANTITAKEOVER STATUTES. The board of directors of the
Company has taken all actions necessary under the DGCL, including approving the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement and each of the other Affiliation
Documents to which it is a party, to ensure that Section 203 of the DGCL does
not, and will not, apply to the Investor or any of its affiliates in connection
with the transactions contemplated hereunder and thereunder. No other state
takeover or similar statute or regulation applies to this Agreement, the other
Affiliation Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

                  (j) EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION. Assuming the representations
and warranties of NBC set forth in Section 3.2 hereof are true and correct in
all material respects, the grant of the Warrants made pursuant to this Agreement
and the acquisition of the Underlying Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants
will be in compliance with the Securities Act, the rules and regulations of
NASDAQ and any applicable state securities laws and will be exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and such state securities laws.

                  Section 3.2 REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF NBC. NBC
represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

to obtain an exception for such sale to NBC and negative pledge pursuant to
Section 5.4 in any modification, refinancing or replacement to the Secured
Credit Agreement, and in any other agreement, including in respect of
indebtedness, entered into after the execution of this Agreement which would
restrict such sale or negative pledge. The provisions of Section 5.3 shall
remain applicable so long as NBC retains the right to acquire the KNTV Assets
pursuant to Section 20 of the Affiliation Agreement.

                  Section 5.4 NEGATIVE PLEDGE ON KNTV ASSETS. Only to the extent
the following does not violate the Secured Credit Agreement, the Company agrees
that it shall not permit any further Liens or encumbrances upon the KNTV Assets
other than Permitted Liens, Liens and encumbrances arising in the ordinary
course of KNTV's business consistent with prior practice and the Lien created by
the Secured Credit Agreement on KNTV Assets. In addition, the Company shall not
cause or permit any occurrence which would cause the Company to be in breach
(after giving effect to any waiver or modification thereof) of Section 7.7 of
the Secured Credit Agreement or any comparable provision in any subsequent,
modified, refinanced or replacement credit facility. The provisions of Section
5.4 shall remain applicable so long as NBC retains the right to acquire the KNTV
Assets pursuant to Section 20 of the Affiliation Agreement.

may be amended or modified in whole or in part at any time by an agreement in
writing between the parties hereto executed in the same manner as this

exercising, any right shall operate as a waiver thereof nor shall any single or

thereof or the exercise of any other right.

                  Section 8.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS; THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
Subject to applicable law and the following sentence, NBC may assign its rights
under this Agreement in whole or in part only to any Affiliate of NBC, but no
such assignment shall relieve NBC of its obligations hereunder. NBC shall not
assign any rights under this Agreement to any other Person unless such Person
expressly assumes pursuant to a document in form and substance reasonably
satisfactory to the Company all of the obligations of NBC associated with the
rights proposed to be assigned. The Company's rights hereunder may not be
assigned and its duties hereunder may not be delegated, in each case, whether by
operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of NBC. Upon any
such purported assignment or delegation that does not comply with this Section,
this Agreement shall automatically terminate and be of no further force and
effect unless NBC shall otherwise agree in writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that
nothing in this sentence shall relieve the Company of its obligations and duties
hereunder. Nothing expressed or mentioned in this Agreement is intended or shall
be construed to give any Person other than the parties hereto and their
respective successors, any legal or equitable right, remedy or claim under or in
respect of this Agreement or any provision herein contained. This Agreement and
all conditions and provisions hereof are intended to be for the sole and
exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors, and for
the benefit of no other Person.

                  Section 8.7 ARBITRATION. Any controversy, dispute or claim
arising out of, in connection with or in relation to the interpretation,
performance or breach of this Agreement, shall be determined, at the request of
any party, by arbitration in a city mutually agreeable to the parties to such
controversy, dispute or claim, or, failing such agreement, in New York, New
York, before and in accordance with the then-existing Rules for Commercial
Arbitration of the American Arbitration Association, and any judgment or award
rendered by the arbitrator will be final, binding and unappealable and judgment
may be entered by any state or Federal court having jurisdiction thereof. The
pre-trial discovery procedures of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure shall
apply to any arbitration under this Section 8.7. Any controversy concerning
whether a dispute is an arbitrable dispute or as to the interpretation or
enforceability of this Section 8.7 shall be determined by the arbitrator. The
arbitrator shall be a retired or former United States District Judge or other
person acceptable to each of the parties, PROVIDED such individual has
substantial professional experience with regard to corporate or partnership
legal matters. The parties intend that this agreement to arbitrate be valid,
enforceable and irrevocable.

                  Section 8.8 REMEDIES. No right, power or remedy conferred upon
NBC in this Agreement or the other Affiliation Documents shall be exclusive, and
each such right, power or remedy shall be cumulative and in addition to every
other right, power or remedy whether conferred in this Agreement or the other
Affiliation Documents or now or hereafter available at law or in equity or by
statute or otherwise. No course of dealing between NBC and the Company and no
delay in exercising any right, power or remedy conferred in this Agreement or
now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by statute or otherwise shall
operate as a waiver or otherwise prejudice any such right, power or remedy. The
parties hereto agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event any
provision of this Agreement or the other Affiliation Documents was not performed
in accordance with the terms hereof and that the parties shall be entitled to an
injunction or injunctions to prevent breaches of this Agreement or the other

this Agreement in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law
or in equity.

section headings, captions and table of contents contained in this Agreement are
