Bankruptcy and Receivership
Arrangement

On
December 8, 2008, Equity Media Holdings Corporation filed voluntary petitions
for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code with the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. Equity Media
determined to file for relief under Chapter 11 after extensively exploring all
of its options. Equity Media believes that the Chapter 11 process
provides the best alternative for maximizing the value of the Company for the
benefit of its stakeholders including lenders, stockholders, suppliers,
customers and employees. Equity Media will continue to take
additional steps in connection with this filing, including seeking to obtain
debtor in possession financing and relief from the court to service its payroll
obligations, in order to continue operations, and the development and submission
of a plan of reorganization to the Court. A press release announcing
the filing was issued by the Company on December 9, 2008 and a copy of such
release is included with this Report as Exhibit 99.1.
