7.      Commitments and Contingencies


Acquisition Commitments


As of September 30, 2014, our pending acquisitions were as follows: (1) the acquisition of the remaining outstanding equity interest in Yellowstone, (2) the Beartooth Acquisition, (3) the KMTF Acquisition, (4) the acquisition of KKHD-LD and the programming of KJCT-TV in Grand Junction, Colorado and (5) the KXJB Acquisition. As of September 30, 2014, the total consideration remaining to be paid for all of these acquisitions will be approximately $13.7 million. We completed the acquisition of Yellowstone on October 6, 2014 and we completed the Beartooth Acquisition on November 1, 2014. We anticipate closing the still pending acquisitions in the fourth quarter of 2014.


Legal Proceedings and Claims


From time to time, we are or may become subject to legal proceedings and claims that arise in the normal course of our business. In our opinion, the amount of ultimate liability, if any, with respect to known actions, will not materially affect our financial position. However, the outcome of any one or more matters cannot be predicted with certainty, and the unfavorable resolution of any matter could have a material adverse effect on us.


Sports Marketing Agreement


On October 12, 2004, the University of Kentucky (“UK”) awarded a sports marketing agreement jointly to us and IMG Worldwide, Inc. (“IMG”) (the “UK Agreement”). Effective July 1, 2014, Gray and IMG assigned all rights and obligations under the UK Agreement to a third party and UK has consented to this assignment. As a result, Gray no longer has any further rights or obligations under the UK Agreement.
