Media General Q2 Revenue Up, Profits Down

Media General today reported a second quarter loss of $4.3 million due to debt restructuring charges, despite an increase in operating income to $16.3 million, a 19 percent increase from last year.

The increased revenue comes from political advertising on Media General’s TV stations and from the company’s digital operations, which now make up 6 percent (up from 5 percent last year) of the company’s revenue. Media General’s newspapers, which include the Richmond Times-Dispatch, the Tampa Tribune, and more, collectively produced 7 percent less revenue.
