I am sure the Commissioner will be in increasing demand in the coming weeks, making me feel lucky to have locked this in before the election! By way of reminder: WHAT: The Commissioner will address our annual fly-in of all our General Managers (around 100), plus some senior execs. Topic should focus on the important role that GM5 play in their market, localism, etc., plus whatever he wants to discuss. Session will be off the record. WHERE: Four Seasons, Baltimore. WHEN: His "session" is set from 12:45 to 1:15, but it can be shorter, e.g., if he wants to speak for 15 minutes and take questions for 10, that would be fine Lunch starts at noon, so if he and Matthew would like to come early and have lunch with a few of us, that would be great! MEETING AFTERWARD: Would he have time to meet with our CEO, David Smith, for a few minutes after his session? 1 TRAVEL LOGISTICS: There is an Amtrak train leaving Union Station at 11:10, which arrives in Baltimore at 11:51 (84 NE Regional), or an Acela that leaves at 11:00 and arrives at 11:32. I will be there to get them and bring them to the Four Seasons. If he can meet with David Smith afterwards, we could get them on the 2:19 Acela, which arrives back in Union Station at 2:53. Can we confirm all of this on Monday? I am free all afternoon to chat.

And thanks to the team for covering this in such depth -- many sad stories here that need to be told. From: Rebecca Hanson Sent: Monday, August 1, 2016 2:23 PM To: Ajit Pal; Lori Alexiou; Matthew Berry; Nicholas Degani Subject: Sinclair Broadcast Group Covers Heroin Abuse Good AfternoOn, Commissioner Pal's office! You may have heard that Congress passed sweeping legislation last month addressing painkiller abuse and the heroin addiction that often follows. Since 2013, Sinclair has produced hundreds of local news stories and 11 town halls about the devastating impact of opioid misuse in our communities, how it got to this point, and what local leaders are doing about it. Many of these stories are archived on our stations' websites in our digital series "Hooked on Heroin". Attached is a list of links to around 70 of our more recent stories from stations across the country. WJLA, our ABC affiliate here in DC, recently ran a six-part investigative series on the "Heroin Highway", following the path of suppliers and addicts along Interstates 70 and 81 through Maryland, West Virginia and Virginia. Here is the first installment. This is just one way that Sinclair Broadcast Group informs and empowers our local communities on issues that impact us at home and on a national level.

Ajit and Matthew, Thank you again for being the stars of our show at this year's Sinclair GM Summit. All of our stations truly appreciate your support and your belief in what they do. I mentioned to Ajit the movie I am currently obsessed with and provide the link here. Zero Days: Award-winning doc about the Stuxnet virus and the dawn of global cyberwarfare. It is a must see for every American! http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5446858/ I realize you will be busy in the coming weeks with respect to the transition, but since the FCC voting agenda seems to have come to a screeching halt, we would love to come in at some point after Thanksgiving to walk you through all that we are doing in the area of drones and cyber security. Just let me know!

From: Tom Gdisis [mailto:tgdisis@sbgtv.com } Sent: Thursday, October 20, 2016 11:46 AM To: Ajit Pai Subject: Phone Rules? Hi, Ajit, you spoke at our KAB convention last week in Wichita. I'm with KSAS-TV & KMTW-TV. I had a request. Look into the rules that we need to have a toll-free number for our viewers in each city we have a transmitter. Consumers can now reach us via email and website without charge. Most phone services do not charge long distance when dialing within the state.
