Item 5.   Other Events

     On September 15, 1995, the Delaware Court of Chancery
entered an order approving the terms of the settlement that had
been agreed to by all parties in In re LIN Broadcasting
Corporation.  That action relates to the proposed merger (the
"Merger") of LIN Broadcasting Corporation ("LIN") with a
subsidiary of AT&T Wireless Services, Inc. ("AT&T Wireless",
formerly known as McCaw Cellular Communications, Inc.),  pursuant
to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated April 28, 1995, as
amended and restated June 30, 1995, among LIN, AT&T Wireless and
two subsidiaries of AT&T Wireless (the "Merger Agreement").  A
copy of the court's order is being filed as Exhibit No. 99.1 to
this Report.  There were no objections to the merits of the
settlement.  

     The Delaware Court of Chancery also awarded fees in the
amount of $9,000,000 to the attorneys for the plaintiffs in the
litigation. Therefore, assuming the Merger is completed and based
on the number of shares of LIN's Common Stock outstanding as of
the close of business on September 14, 1995 (which number may
change prior to the closing of the Merger), each LIN Merger Share
(as defined below) will be converted into the right to receive
approximately $129.548 per share, which includes the "Additional
Amount" discussed below, plus an amount equal to simple interest
thereon at an annual rate of 5.5% from, but not including,
September 15, 1995 until the closing of the Merger.  

     Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, AT&T Wireless will
pay $4,000,000 of the attorneys' fees award.  The balance of the
award will be satisfied from that portion of the $0.25 allocated
to each LIN Merger Share that the Merger Agreement specifies is
to be paid to the plaintiffs' attorneys to the extent that the
attorneys' fees award exceeds $4,000,000; the remainder of such
$0.25 per LIN Merger Share (which is referred to as the
"Additional Amount" in the Merger Agreement) will be paid to the
holders of those shares. "LIN Merger Shares" are the shares of
LIN's Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to
the Merger other than shares held by AT&T Wireless or any of its
wholly owned subsidiaries, in the treasury of LIN or by any
wholly owned subsidiary of LIN.
