LIN Media LLC (the “Company”) and LIN Television Corporation are filing this Current Report on Form 8-K in order to recast certain segment information for all periods presented in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 3, 2014 (the "10-K"), as further described below.
As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014 filed with the SEC on May 9, 2014, effective January 1, 2014, as a result of the continued growth in its digital business, the Company began separately reporting financial information for its Broadcast and Digital segments. The Company's Broadcast segment includes 43 television stations and seven digital channels that are either owned, operated or serviced by the Company in 23 U.S. markets, all of which are engaged principally in the sale of television advertising and digital advertising primarily related to the Company's television station companion websites. The Company's Digital segment includes the operating results of its digital companies: LIN Digital LLC, LIN Mobile, LLC, Nami Media, Inc., HYFN, Inc., Dedicated Media, Inc., and Federated Media Publishing LLC.
The information included in this Form 8-K is presented for informational purposes only in connection with the above-described segment reporting change and does not amend or restate the Company's audited consolidated financial statements, which were included in its 10-K. This Form 8-K does not reflect events occurring subsequent to the filing of the 10-K and does not modify or update the disclosures therein in any way, other than as required to reflect the change in segments as described above and set forth in the exhibits attached hereto. For information on developments regarding the Company since the filing of the 10-K, please refer to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2014, Current Reports on Form 8-K and any other subsequent filings with the SEC.
