The statement on Schedule 13D previously filed by TowerView LLC (“TowerView”) with respect to the Common Stock (the “Common Stock”) of Fisher Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) is hereby amended and supplemented as set forth herein. Except as amended and supplemented hereby, the statement on Schedule 13D remains in full force and effect.

Item 4.       Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is supplemented by adding the following paragraph after the first paragraph thereof:

In a letter dated November 21, 2007 to the Company, GAMCO Asset Management sought to include in the Company’s proxy statement for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held April 30, 2008 a proposal that would have required shareholder approval for certain acquisitions. The Company decided not to include this proposal in the proxy statement for technical reasons. After considering this matter, TowerView does not believe that the Board of Directors is open or willing to discuss shareholder concerns. Accordingly, TowerView has decided to withhold its votes for the election of directors at the Annual Meeting.

Item 5.       Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is amended and supplemented by changing the first paragraph thereof to read as set forth below and by adding the information after that paragraph to the information in the statement on Schedule 13D as to purchases by TowerView of Common Stock in the over-the-counter market during the 60 days preceding the filing of this statement.

TowerView has sole power to vote and sole power to dispose of an aggregate of 825,892 shares of Common Stock as of April 18, 2008, or 9.5% of the 8,728,858 shares of Common Stock that the Company reported as outstanding in its Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 14, 2008. TowerView has used a total of $31,469,954.34 of its funds to purchase these shares.
