STEPHEN G. HILL, A DIRECTOR OF THE LICENSEE, IS SENIOR VICE-PRESIDENT OF MUSIC, TALENT, AND ENTERTAINMENT PROGRAMMING OF BET (BLACK ENTERTAINMENT TELEVISION), A DIVISION OF VIACOM. VIACOM OWNS THE CBS RADIO AND TELEVISION NETWORKS AND THROUGH CBS AND INFINITY BROADCASTING CORP. OWNS RADIO STATIONS AND TELEVISIONS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY, INCLUDING SOME WITH OVERLAPPING SERVICE CONTOURS WITH WBRU. HOWEVER, MR. HILL'S INTEREST IS NOT ATTRIBUTABLE BECAUSE (1) HIS TITLE OF 'VICE-PRESIDENT' IS ONLY A BUSINESS TITLE IN A DIVISION, NOT A CORPORATE OFFICE ELECTED BY A BOARD OF DIRECTORS; AND (2) HE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A SUBSIDIARY THAT IS NOT ITSELF A BROADCAST LICENSEE, AND HE DOES NOT HAVE A TITLE WITH THE PARENT ENTITY.

MONICA BRADY-MEYEROV, PRESIDENT AND A DIRECTOR OF THE LICENSEE, IS A SENIOR [NEWS] CORRESPONDENT FOR STATION WBUR IN BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.
