Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On May 12, 2009, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to the Company’s two pension transition benefit plans, the Belo Pension Transition Supplement Plan and the Belo Pension Transition Supplement Restoration Plan, to permit the suspension of Company contributions under these plans in respect of participants’ 2009 compensation. This means that no pension transition supplement payments will be made in 2010. This change did not affect the 2009 payment in respect of 2008 compensation that was made earlier in 2009. The Belo Pension Transition Supplement Restoration Plan as initially adopted is filed as Exhibit 99.5 to the Company’s Form 8-K filed December 11, 2007. The amendment to the Belo Pension Transition Supplement Restoration Plan is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
