AMENDMENT NO. 15 TO SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 15 to Schedule 13D (the “Amendment”) relates to Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) of Mediaco Holding Inc., an Indiana corporation (the “Issuer” or the “Company”).  This Amendment is being filed to amend the Schedule 13D that was originally filed on January 28, 2020, as amended on February 5, 2020, March 30, 2020, April 24, 2020, May 22, 2020, September 2, 2020, September 23, 2020, May 21, 2021, November 29, 2021, December 21, 2021, January 10, 2022, March 24, 2022, June 30, 2022, July 29, 2022, and December 30, 2022 (as amended, the “Schedule 13D”). Unless otherwise indicated in this Amendment, all capitalized terms have the meanings indicated to them in the Schedule 13D.

This Amendment is being filed to amend Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby supplemented as set forth below:

On August 9, 2023, Amit Thakrar became a Director of the Company.  Mr. Thakrar is an employee of Standard Media Group LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of private investment funds for which Standard General L.P. serves as investment manager.  Mr. Thakrar has no direct or indirect investment or voting power with respect to the securities reported in this Schedule 13D. 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Items 5 is hereby supplemented as set forth below.

(a) and (b) See Items 7-13 of the cover pages and Item 2 above.

(c) The Reporting Persons did not effect any transactions in shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock during the sixty day period prior to the filing of this Schedule 13D.

The Reporting Persons beneficially own 16,798,127 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and, as previously reported, also beneficially own 5,413,197 shares of the Company’s Class B Common Stock, which is convertible into Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. 

In addition, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 261,967 shares of Series A Preferred Stock, each share of which is convertible into such number of shares of Class A Common Stock as is determined by dividing: (i) the purchase price of the Series A Preferred Stock plus any accrued dividends by (ii) the average volume-weighted average prices of the Class A Common Stock for the last 30 days prior to the date of determination, determined as of the fifth business day after the date on which notice of conversion is given. The number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons reflects shares issued as accrued dividends pursuant to the terms of the security. As of August 8, 2023, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons would have been convertible into 27,593,055 shares of Class A Common Stock under the formula described above.

The percentages reported herein are based on a statement in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2023 that, as of August 3, 2023, there were 20,402,749 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock outstanding.

(d) Not applicable.

(e) Not applicable.
