Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Gray Television, Inc. (and its consolidated subsidiaries, except as the context otherwise provides,“Gray,” the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) as of December 31, 2015, which was derived from the Company’s audited financial statements as of December 31, 2015 and our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2016 and for the periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Our operations consist of one reportable segment. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the “2015 Form 10-K”). Our financial condition as of, and operating results for the three-month period ended, March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2016. Overview We are a television broadcast company headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, that owns and/or operates television stations and leading digital assets in markets throughout the United States. As of March 31, 2016, we owned and/or operated television stations in 50 television markets broadcasting approximately 180 programming streams, including 35 affiliates of the CBS Network (“CBS”), 26 affiliates of the NBC Network (“NBC”), 19 affiliates of the ABC Network (“ABC”) and 13 affiliates of the FOX Network (“FOX”). In addition to our primary broadcast channels, we can also broadcast secondary digital channels within a market. Our secondary digital channels are affiliated with networks different from those affiliated with our primary broadcast channels, and they are operated by us to make better use of our broadcast spectrum by providing supplemental and/or alternative programming in addition to our primary channels. Certain of our secondary digital channels are affiliated with more than one network simultaneously. In addition to affiliations with ABC, CBS and FOX, our secondary channels are affiliated with numerous smaller networks and program services including, the CW Network or the CW Plus Network (collectively, “CW”), MY Network (“MY” or “My Network”), the MeTV Network (“MeTV”), This TV Network (“This TV”), Antenna TV (“Ant.”), Telemundo (“Tel.”), Cozi, Heroes and Icons (“H&I”), MOVIES! Network (“Movies”) and others. We also broadcast local news/weather channels in certain of our existing markets (“News”). Our combined TV station group reaches approximately 9.4% of total United States television households. Seasonality and Cyclicality Broadcast advertising revenues are generally highest in the second and fourth quarters each year. This seasonality results partly from increases in consumer advertising in the spring and retail advertising in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. Broadcast advertising revenues are also typically higher in even-numbered years due to increased spending by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups in advance of elections. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates we make relate to our allowance for doubtful accounts in receivables, preliminary purchase price allocations of amounts paid to complete acquisitions, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, amortization of program broadcast rights and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, pension costs, income taxes, employee medical insurance claims, useful lives of property and equipment and contingencies. Earnings Per Share We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include restricted shares. These shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not included in the basic earnings per share calculation until the shares vest. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including all potentially dilutive common shares, including restricted shares and shares underlying stock options, in the denominator of the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding calculation, unless their inclusion would be antidilutive. The following table reconciles basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Our accumulated other comprehensive loss balances as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consist of adjustments to our pension liability and the related income tax effect. Our comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted entirely of net income. Therefore, a consolidated statement of comprehensive income is not presented for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. Pro perty and Equipme nt Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost of any assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition, and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in income or expense for the period. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, our total property and equipment balance, before accumulated depreciation, increased approximately $99.4 million as a result of property and equipment acquired in connection with recent acquisitions of television stations and decreased approximately $3.7 million as a result of the disposition of one television station. There were no acquisitions or dispositions of television stations in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The remaining changes in the balances in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were due to routine property and equipment purchases and retirements. The following table lists the components of property and equipment by major category (dollars in thousands):
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our allowance for doubtful accounts is equal to at least 85% of our receivable balances that are 120 days old or older. We may provide allowances for certain receivable balances that are less than 120 days old when warranted by specific facts and circumstances. We generally write-off accounts receivable balances when the customer files for bankruptcy or when all commonly used methods of collection have been exhausted. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides new guidance on revenue recognition for revenue from contracts with customers and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. This guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard is intended to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and provide more useful information through improved financial statement disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing . This ASU amends the guidance of ASU 2014-09 to clarify the identification of performance obligations and to provide additional licensing implementation guidance. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of the requirements of these ASUs on our financial statements.In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . ASU 2015-17 requires a “noncurrent” presentation of all deferred income taxes. Entities with publicly traded securities are required to apply the new guidance in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. We expect that the affected amounts on our balance sheets will be reclassified within our balance sheets to conform to this standard. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP regarding the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 will supersede Topic 840, Leases , and thus will supersede nearly all existing lease guidance by requiring the reclassification of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP with the intent of simplifying several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.Reclassifications In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements- Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting. ASU 2015-15 amended previous guidance to codify the June 18, 2015 Staff Announcement that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation as an asset, and subsequent amortization of such asset, of deferred debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements. We adopted these standards as of January 1, 2016. In accordance with these standards, we have reclassified our deferred loan costs to be presented as a reduction in the balance of our long-term debt, less current portion, in our balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Our deferred loan costs were previously presented as a non-current asset. |

Mergers, Acquisitions and Dispositions Disclosures [Text Block] | 2 . Acquisitions and Dispositions On February 1, 2016, to facilitate regulatory approval for the Schurz Acqusition (as defined below), we exchanged the assets of KAKE-TV (ABC) (and its satellite stations) in the Wichita, Kansas television market, for the assets of Lockwood Broadcasting, Inc.’s television station WBXX-TV (CW) in the Knoxville, Tennessee television market and $11.2 million (the “WBXX Acquisition”). In connection with the divestiture of KAKE-TV’s assets, we recorded a gain of approximately $2.0 million, excluding transaction related expenses. On February 16, 2016, we acquired the television and radio broadcast assets of Schurz Communications, Inc. (“Schurz”) for an adjusted purchase price of $443.4 million plus transaction related expenses (the “Schurz Acquisition”). The acquired television broadcast assets consisted of KWCH-TV (CBS) (and three satellite stations) in the Wichita, Kansas television market; WDBJ-TV (CBS) in the Roanoke-Lynchburg, Virginia television market; KYTV-TV (NBC), KCZ (CW), and certain operating rights related to KSPR-TV (ABC) in the Springfield, Missouri television market; WAGT-TV (NBC) in the Augusta, Georgia television market; KTUU-TV (NBC) in the Anchorage, Alaska television market; two satellite stations and the ABC programming stream of KOTA-TV serving the Rapid City, South Dakota television market; and WSBT-TV (CBS) in the South Bend, Indiana television market. Schurz’s radio broadcast assets were located in the South Bend and Lafayette, Indiana radio markets and Rapid City, South Dakota radio market (the “Schurz Radio Stations”). Also on February 16, 2016, and to further faciliate regulatory approvals for the Schurz Acquisition, we exchanged the assets of WSBT-TV for the assets of Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc.’s television station WLUC-TV (NBC/FOX) in the Marquette, Michigan televison market (the “WLUC Acquisition”), and we sold the assets of the Schurz Radio Stations for $16.0 million to three third-party radio broadcasters. The Schurz Acquisition, the WLUC Acquisition, and the sale of the assets of Schurz Radio Stations closed concurrently. Our cost basis for the assets of WSBT-TV and the Schurz Radio Stations was equal to the value received in their respective exchange and divestiture. As a result, we did not record a gain or loss related to the WLUC Acquisition or related to the divestiture of the Schurz Radio Stations. The Schurz Acquisition, the WBXX Acquisition, the WLUC Acquisition, and the sale of the assets of Schurz Radio Stations are referred to collectively as the “Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions.” Excluding transaction and financing costs, our net consideration paid for the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions ( i.e. , the Schurz Acquisition adjusted purchase price less cash received from Lockwood Broadcasting, Inc. and the buyers of the Schurz Radio Stations) was $416.2 million.Also on February 16, 2016, we completed a financing transaction through which we incurred an additional $425.0 million of debt (the “2016 Term Loan”) under our senior credit facility, as amended (the “Senior Credit Facility”) to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Schurz Acquisition and to pay a portion of the related fees and expenses, the remainder of which were paid from cash on hand. See Note 3 “Long-term Debt” for further information regarding our financing activities. The purchase consideration for the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions is summarized as follows (in thousands):
Preliminary Fair Value Estimates: The preliminary fair value estimates of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill of the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Amounts in the table above are based upon management’s estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. In estimating the fair value of the acquired assets and assumed liabilities, the fair value estimates are based on, but not limited to, expected future revenue and cash flows, expected future growth rates, and estimated discount rates. Accounts receivable are recorded at their fair value representing the amount we expect to collect. Gross amounts receivable are approximately $0.2 million more than their recorded fair value. Property and equipment are recorded at their fair value and are being depreciated over their estimated useful lives ranging from three years to 40 years. Amounts related to other intangible assets represent the estimated fair values of retransmission agreements of $15.1 million; advertising relationships of $1.6 million; and favorable leases of $2.6 million. These intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives of approximately 4.9 years for retransmission agreements; approximately 5.5 years for advertising relationships; and approximately 9.6 years for leases. Goodwill is calculated as the excess of the consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and represents the future economic benefits expected to arise from other intangible assets acquired that do not qualify for separate recognition, including assembled workforce, as well as future synergies that we expect to generate from each acquisition. We have preliminarily recorded $71.6 million of goodwill related to the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions. The goodwill recognized related to these acquisitions is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company’s consolidated results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 include the results of the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions from the date of each transaction. Net revenues and operating income attributable thereto and included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2016 were $16.6 million and $5.8 million, respectively. In connection with these acquisitions, we incurred a total of $6.7 million of transaction related costs during the three months ended March 31, 2016, primarily related to legal, consulting and other professional services. Unaudited Pro Forma Financial Information The following table sets forth certain unaudited pro forma information for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 assuming that the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions occurred on January 1, 2015 (in thousands, except per share data):
This pro forma financial information is based on historical results of operations of each of Gray, the television stations acquired and the television stations divested in the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions, adjusted for the effect of fair value estimates and other acquisition accounting adjustments, and is not necessarily indicative of what our results would have been had we completed each of the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions on January 1, 2015 or on any other historical date, nor is it reflective of our expected results of operations for any future period. The pro forma adjustments for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 reflect depreciation expense and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets related to the fair value of the assets acquired, interest expense resulting from additional borrowings under our Senior Credit Facility and the related tax effects of the adjustments. This pro forma financial information has been prepared based on estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable as of the date hereof, and are subject to change based on, among other things, changes in the preliminary allocation of purchase price to the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, or any other underlying assumptions. |

Debt Disclosure [Text Block] | 3 . Long-term Debt As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, l ong-term debt primarily consisted of obligations under our Senior Credit Facility, and our 7½% Senior Notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes ”), as follows (in thousands):
Our Senior Credit Facility consists of a revolving loan (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) and term loans under a term loan facility. Excluding accrued interest, the amount outstanding under our Senior Credit Facility as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consisted solely of term loan balances totaling $980.4 million and $556.4 million, respectively. Our maximum borrowing availability under our Revolving Credit Facility is limited by our required compliance with certain restrictive covenants, including a first lien net leverage ratio covenant. In connection with the consummation of the Schurz Acquisition and Related Transactions, effective February 16, 2016, we entered into the Second Amendment and Incremental Facility Agreement to our Senior Credit Facility (the “Second Amendment”). Pursuant to this Second Amendment we borrowed $425.0 million under the 2016 Term Loan to fund a portion of the purchase price of the Schurz Acquisition. The Second Amendment also increased our availability under the Revolving Credit Facility by $10.0 million to a total of $60.0 million. The 2016 Term Loan constitutes an additional term loan, and has the same terms as our other term loan under the Senior Credit Facility, including a June 13, 2021 maturity date, except that the interest rate applicable to the 2016 Term Loan is, at our option, either the Base Rate (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) plus 2.50% or LIBOR plus 3.50%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. We are also required to make quarterly principal repayments equal to 0.25% of the outstanding principal amount of the 2016 Term Loan. As a component of the Second Amendment, the maturity date of any revolving loans under the Senior Credit Facility was extended to July 1, 2020 and the interest rate applicable to the existing term loan was modified to be, at our option, either the Base Rate plus 2.1875% or LIBOR plus 3.1875%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75%. Also pursuant to the Second Amendment, the asset sale covenant in the Senior Credit Facility was amended to allow us to (i) dispose of assets so long as the Operating Cash Flow (as defined in the Senior Credit Facility) attributable to any such assets sold in any twelve month period does not exceed 7.5% of our Operating Cash Flow and (ii) dispose of spectrum without regard to the Operating Cash Flow test set forth above.

Note 4 - Fair Value Measurement |

Fair Value Disclosures [Text Block] | 4. Fair Value Measurement For purposes of determining a fair value measurement, we utilize market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. We utilize valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. These inputs are prioritized into a hierarchy that gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (“Level 1”) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs that require assumptions to measure fair value (“Level 3”). Level 2 inputs are those that are other than quoted prices on national exchanges included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability either directly or indirectly (“Level 2”). Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments The estimated fair value of other financial instruments is determined using market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Interpreting market data to develop fair value estimates involves considerable judgment. The use of different market assumptions or methodologies could have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that we could realize in a current market exchange, or the value that ultimately will be realized upon maturity or disposition. The carrying amounts of the following instruments approximate fair value due to their short term to maturity: (i) accounts receivable, (ii) prepaid and other current assets, (iii) accounts payable, (iv) accrued employee compensation and benefits, (v) accrued interest, (vi) other accrued expenses, (vii) acquisition-related liabilities and (viii) deferred revenue. The carrying amount of our long-term debt was $1.6 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, and the fair value was $1.7 billion and $1.2 billion, respectively, as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Fair value of our long-term debt is based on observable estimates provided by third party financial professionals as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, and as such is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Text Block] | 8. Goodwill and Intangible Assets During the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, we acquired various television broadcast stations and broadcast licenses. As a result of these acquisitions, our goodwill and intangible balances increased. See Note 2 “Acquisitions and Dispositions” for more information regarding these transactions. A summary of changes in our goodwill and other intangible assets, on a net basis, for the three-month period ended March 31, 2016 is as follows (in thousands):
As of March 31, 2016, our intangible assets and related accumulated amortization consisted of the following (in thousands):
Amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was $3.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, we expect that amortization expense for the succeeding five years will be as follows: 2017, $16.3 million; 2018, $11.5 million; 2019, $9.0 million; 2020, $6.1 million; and 2021, $3.2 million.

Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | 9 . Income Taxes For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, our income tax expense and effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):
We estimate our differences between taxable income or loss and recorded income or loss on an annual basis. Our tax provision for each quarter is based upon these full year projections, which are revised each reporting period. These projections incorporate estimates of permanent differences between U.S. GAAP income or loss and taxable income or loss, state income taxes and adjustments to our liability for unrecognized tax benefits to adjust our statutory Federal income tax rate of 35.0% to our effective income tax rate. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2016, these estimates increased or decreased our statutory Federal income tax rate of 35.0% to our effective income tax rate of 41.6% as follows: state income taxes added 4.3%, permanent differences between our U.S. GAAP income and taxable income added 1.0%, discrete adjustments added 1.6%, and adjustments to our reserve for uncertain tax positions resulted in a reduction of 0.3%. For the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, these estimates increased or decreased our statutory Federal income tax rate of 35.0% to our effective income tax rate of 41.3% as follows: state income taxes added 4.6%, permanent differences between our U.S. GAAP income and taxable income added 1.6% and a discrete share based compensation adjustment added 1.0%, and adjustments to our reserve for uncertain tax positions resulted in a reduction of 0.9%. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Revenue Recognition, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Seasonality and Cyclicality Broadcast advertising revenues are generally highest in the second and fourth quarters each year. This seasonality results partly from increases in consumer advertising in the spring and retail advertising in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. Broadcast advertising revenues are also typically higher in even-numbered years due to increased spending by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups in advance of elections. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Use of Estimates, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates we make relate to our allowance for doubtful accounts in receivables, preliminary purchase price allocations of amounts paid to complete acquisitions, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, amortization of program broadcast rights and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, pension costs, income taxes, employee medical insurance claims, useful lives of property and equipment and contingencies. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Earnings Per Share, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Earnings Per Share We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include restricted shares. These shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not included in the basic earnings per share calculation until the shares vest. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including all potentially dilutive common shares, including restricted shares and shares underlying stock options, in the denominator of the diluted weighted-average shares outstanding calculation, unless their inclusion would be antidilutive. The following table reconciles basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 (in thousands):

Comprehensive Income, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Our accumulated other comprehensive loss balances as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 consist of adjustments to our pension liability and the related income tax effect. Our comprehensive income for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 consisted entirely of net income. Therefore, a consolidated statement of comprehensive income is not presented for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2016 or 2015. |

Property, Plant and Equipment, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Pro perty and Equipme nt Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost of any assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition, and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in income or expense for the period. In the three months ended March 31, 2016, our total property and equipment balance, before accumulated depreciation, increased approximately $99.4 million as a result of property and equipment acquired in connection with recent acquisitions of television stations and decreased approximately $3.7 million as a result of the disposition of one television station. There were no acquisitions or dispositions of television stations in the three months ended March 31, 2015. The remaining changes in the balances in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 were due to routine property and equipment purchases and retirements. The following table lists the components of property and equipment by major category (dollars in thousands):

Loans and Leases Receivable, Allowance for Loan Losses Policy [Policy Text Block] | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our allowance for doubtful accounts is equal to at least 85% of our receivable balances that are 120 days old or older. We may provide allowances for certain receivable balances that are less than 120 days old when warranted by specific facts and circumstances. We generally write-off accounts receivable balances when the customer files for bankruptcy or when all commonly used methods of collection have been exhausted. |

New Accounting Pronouncements, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 provides new guidance on revenue recognition for revenue from contracts with customers and will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance when it becomes effective. This guidance requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The standard is intended to improve comparability of revenue recognition practices across entities and provide more useful information through improved financial statement disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . ASU 2015-14 deferred the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year to interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and permitted early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing . This ASU amends the guidance of ASU 2014-09 to clarify the identification of performance obligations and to provide additional licensing implementation guidance. We are currently evaluating the expected impact of the requirements of these ASUs on our financial statements.In November 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-17, Income Taxes (Topic 740) – Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes . ASU 2015-17 requires a “noncurrent” presentation of all deferred income taxes. Entities with publicly traded securities are required to apply the new guidance in the annual reporting period beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods thereafter. We expect that the affected amounts on our balance sheets will be reclassified within our balance sheets to conform to this standard. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10) - Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities . ASU 2016-01 amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP regarding the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The new standard significantly revises an entity’s accounting related to the classification and measurement of investments in equity securities and the presentation of certain fair value changes for financial liabilities measured at fair value. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements.In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). ASU 2016-02 will supersede Topic 840, Leases , and thus will supersede nearly all existing lease guidance by requiring the reclassification of lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and requiring disclosure of key information about leasing arrangements. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) - Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. ASU 2016-09 amends the guidance in U.S. GAAP with the intent of simplifying several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We do not expect that the adoption of this ASU will have a material impact on our financial statements. |

Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Reclassifications In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) - Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements- Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcement at June 18, 2015 EITF Meeting. ASU 2015-15 amended previous guidance to codify the June 18, 2015 Staff Announcement that the SEC staff would not object to the deferral and presentation as an asset, and subsequent amortization of such asset, of deferred debt issuance costs related to line of credit arrangements. We adopted these standards as of January 1, 2016. In accordance with these standards, we have reclassified our deferred loan costs to be presented as a reduction in the balance of our long-term debt, less current portion, in our balance sheets as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015. Our deferred loan costs were previously presented as a non-current asset. |
