Other Charges and Credits

Income (loss) from operations was affected by the following:

Acquisition and related integration costs of $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 include costs associated with the acquisition of two television stations from Granite Broadcasting and costs related to the merger with Journal Communications broadcast operations and the spin-off of our newspaper business.

Restructuring costs, primarily at our newspaper operations, totaled $1.4 million for the second quarter of 2013 and $2.4 million for the first six months of 2013. Restructuring costs primarily include costs associated with efforts to simplify and standardize advertising and circulation systems and other processes in our newspaper division. In 2014, we are in the final stages of these system implementations and any remaining costs are now included in segment operating results.
