Except as previously defined, all capitalized terms in this Item 3 have the respective

The aggregate value of the Merger is approximately $1.3 billion. It is anticipated that the
funding for the Merger will be in the form of $286.0 million in cash contributed to Parent by the
Fund, pursuant to the Equity Commitment Letter and $920.0 million in debt financing to be arranged
by Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation pursuant to the Debt Commitment Letter, as described in

shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock)
will, pursuant to the Equity Rollover Letters, be contributed to Parent, as described in further
detail in Item 4 below.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Item 4 is hereby supplemented as follows:
On July 20, 2007, Lew Dickey, Jr. and Merrill Lynch Global Private Equity (the
Sponsor), on behalf of an investor group that also includes members of Mr. Dickeys
family, submitted a written offer (the Offer Letter) to the Companys board of directors
to acquire all of the outstanding shares of the Companys capital stock at a cash purchase price of
$10.65 per share. In connection with the resulting negotiations with the board of directors, Lew
Dickey, Jr. and the Sponsor submitted an additional offer letter, dated July 22, 2007 (the
Revised Offer Letter). Copies of the Offer Letter and the Revised Offer Letter are
attached as Exhibits 99.2 and 99.3 to this statement and are incorporated by reference
herein.
On July 23, 2007, a special committee of independent directors, which was formed to, among
other things, consider the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Letter, unanimously
recommended that the Companys full board of directors approve the Agreement and Plan of Merger
(the Merger Agreement), among Cloud Acquisition Corporation, a Delaware
- 9 -
corporation formed by the reporting persons and the Sponsor for purposes of the transaction
(Parent), Cloud Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of
Parent (Merger Sub), and the Company. Upon receipt of the recommendation of the special
committee, the Companys board of directors approved the Merger Agreement on July 23, 2007.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company,
with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent
(the Merger). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the
Companys common stock, other than (a) the Rollover Shares (as defined below), (b) shares owned by
the Company, Parent or any wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company or Parent, or (c) shares owned
by any stockholders who are entitled to and who have properly exercised appraisal rights under
Delaware law, will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $11.75 per share in cash.
Consummation of the Merger is subject to various conditions, including approval of the Merger
by the stockholders of the Company, FCC approval, and other customary closing conditions.
It is contemplated that, upon the consummation of the Merger, the certificate of incorporation
and the bylaws of the Company will be amended in their entirety to be substantially identical to
the certificate of incorporation and the bylaws, respectively, of Merger Sub. Further, it is
anticipated that, upon the consummation of the Merger, the directors of Merger Sub will be the
directors of the Company.
Upon consummation of the Merger, it is contemplated that the Class A Common Stock will be
delisted from the NASDAQ Global Select Market and will become eligible for termination of
registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act.
A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.4 to this statement and is
incorporated by reference herein.
Concurrently with the execution of the Merger Agreement, each of the reporting persons (other
than DBBC) delivered to Parent an equity rollover letter (collectively, the Equity
Rollover Letters) pursuant to which they agreed to contribute an aggregate of 5,106,383
shares of Class A Common Stock (the Rollover Shares) to Parent in exchange for equity
securities of Cloud Holding Company, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and the holder of
all of the membership interests in Parent (HoldCo). Copies of the Equity Rollover Letters
are attached as Exhibits 99.5-99.9 to this statement and are incorporated by reference herein.
Additionally, concurrently with execution of the Merger Agreement, the reporting persons
(other than DBBC) entered into a voting agreement with Parent and the Company (the Voting
Agreement), pursuant to which the reporting persons agreed, among other things, to vote
(subject to certain conditions) all of the Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by them in favor
of the Merger Agreement, the Merger and all other transactions contemplated by the Merger
Agreement, or in favor of any Superior Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement). A copy of
the Voting Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.10 to this statement and is incorporated by
reference herein.
- 10 -
Simultaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, Lew Dickey, Jr. entered into a
Cooperation Agreement with the Company (the Cooperation Agreement). Pursuant to the
Cooperation Agreement, during the period prior to consummation of the Merger, Lew Dickey, Jr.,
solely in his capacity as Chief Executive Officer, agreed to cooperate with the special committee
to solicit and respond to Company Acquisition Proposals (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to
the extent permitted by the Merger Agreement. A copy of the Cooperation Agreement is attached as
Exhibit 99.11 to this statement and is incorporated by reference herein.
On July 23, 2007, Parent obtained an equity commitment letter pursuant to which an MLGPE Fund
US Alternative, L.P., an affiliate of the Sponsor (the Fund), will contribute $286.0
million in cash in exchange for membership interests in HoldCo (the Equity Commitment
Letter) and Merger Sub obtained a debt financing commitment for $1.02 billion in debt
financing from Merrill Lynch Capital Corporation (the Debt Commitment Letter) for the

In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the reporting

Merger Agreement (subject to certain conditions), (2) obtain debt financing, (3) negotiate
definitive arrangements with certain members of the Companys current management, and (4) negotiate
a limited liability company agreement for HoldCo.
The information set forth in response to this Item 4 is qualified in its entirety by reference
to the Offer Letter, the Revised Offer Letter, the Merger Agreement, the Equity Rollover Letters,
the Voting Agreement, the Cooperation Agreement, the Equity Commitment Letter, the Debt Commitment
Letter and the Press Release, each of which is filed as an exhibit hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Other than as described above, the reporting persons do not have any current plans or
proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions set forth in items (a) through (j)
of Item 4 of the instructions to Schedule 13D, although the reporting persons reserve the right to
develop such plans or proposals.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(a) For purposes of calculating the percentages set forth in this Item 5, the number of shares
of Class A Common Stock and the Companys Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
Class C Common Stock), outstanding is assumed to be 36,726,247 and 644,871,
- 11 -
respectively (which is the number of shares of those classes of common stock that the Company
represented in the Merger Agreement as outstanding as of June 30, 2007).
Lewis W. Dickey, Jr.
Lew Dickey, Jr. is deemed to beneficially own 5,138,010 shares of Class A Common Stock as
follows:
|
|
|
1,602,449 shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned; |
|
|
|
|
options to purchase 1,380,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are
exercisable within 60 days; |
|
|
|
|
644,871 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are convertible into shares of
Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, directly owned; |
|
|
|
|
options to purchase 1,500,690 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are
exercisable within 60 days; and |
|
|
|
|
10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by DBBC and deemed to be
beneficially owned by Lew Dickey, Jr. in his capacity as manager of DBBC. |
Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options and the conversion of all of the shares of
Class C Common Stock (including those shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of
options) into Class A Common Stock, Lew Dickey, Jr. would be deemed to beneficially own 5,138,010
shares, or 12.8% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.

John Dickey is deemed to beneficially own 3,146,308 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:
|
|
|
1,767,246 shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned; and |
|
|
|
|
options to purchase 1,379,062 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are
exercisable within 60 days. |
Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options, John Dickey would be deemed to beneficially
own 3,146,308 shares, or 8.3% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
Michael W. Dickey, David W. Dickey and Lewis W. Dickey, Sr.
Michael Dickey, David Dickey and Lew Dickey Sr. are deemed to beneficially own 1,347,683
shares, or 3.7%, 1,254,352 shares, or 3.4%, and 884,000 shares, or 2.4%, of the outstanding shares
of Class A Common Stock, respectively.
DBBC, L.L.C.
- 12 -
DBBC is deemed to beneficially own 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing less
than 1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. As manager of DBBC, Lew Dickey, Jr. has

As a result of the arrangements expected to be set forth in the Interim Investor Agreement and
various matters described in Item 4 above, the reporting persons and the Sponsor may collectively
be deemed to constitute a group, within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a
consequence, each reporting person and the Sponsor may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of
Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each other reporting person and the Sponsor. To the
knowledge of the reporting persons, on July 2, 2007, the Sponsor beneficially owned 123,700 shares,
or less than 1%, of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. Assuming exercise of all of
the above-described options and the conversion of all of the shares of Class C Common Stock
(including those shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options) into Class A
Common Stock, the reporting persons and the Sponsor would collectively beneficially own, in the
aggregate, 28.3% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. Other than as set forth in
this Item 5, each reporting person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock
owned by any other reporting person or the Sponsor.
Other than as set forth above with respect to Lew Dickey, Jr. and John Dickey, none of the
shares of Class A Common Stock reported in this Item 5 are shares as to which any reporting person
has a right to acquire that is exercisable within 60 days. None of the reporting persons nor, to
the knowledge of the reporting persons, the Sponsor, beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common
Stock other than as set forth herein.
(b) Each reporting person has sole power to vote or direct the vote and to dispose or to
direct the disposition of only those shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by such
reporting person as indicated in paragraph (a) of this Item 5, except that, as president and sole
manager of DBBC, Lew Dickey, Jr. also is deemed to have shared voting and dispositive power with
respect to all shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by DBBC.
(c) Except as described above, none of the reporting persons has had any transactions in the
Class A Common Stock during the past 60 days.
(d) Except as set forth herein, no other person is known to have the right to receive or the
power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, any of the shares
of the Class A Common Stock that are the subject of this report.
