EX-99.1: PRESS RELEASE

SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 70 on Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) relating to shares of Series A Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share (“Series A Common Stock”), of Hearst-Argyle Television, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Issuer”), is being filed jointly by The Hearst Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“Hearst”), Hearst Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hearst Holdings”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst, Hearst Broadcasting, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Hearst Broadcasting”) and wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst Holdings, and The Hearst Family Trust, a testamentary trust (the “Trust”, and together with Hearst, Hearst Holdings and Hearst Broadcasting, the “Reporting Persons”), and supplements and amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Commission on April 4, 1997 (as amended, the “Statement”). Amendments No. 51 through 55 were filed as part of a Schedule TO-T, originally filed on September 14, 2007, and amended on September 20, 2007, September 25, 2007, October 3, 2007 and October 15, 2007.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

Item 2 is amended as follows:

Schedule I hereto sets forth the name, business address and present principal occupation or employment and address of any corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted, for each of the directors and executive officers of Hearst, Hearst Holdings and Hearst Broadcasting and the trustees of the Trust. Schedule I also sets forth the citizenship of each of the directors and executive officers of Hearst, Hearst Holdings and Hearst Broadcasting and the trustees of the Trust.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

The aggregate amount of funds used by Hearst Broadcasting to acquire the shares reported in Item 5(c) was $4,504,778. Hearst Broadcasting used its working capital and the working capital of one or more of its affiliates for these purchases.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Hearst Broadcasting purchased additional shares of Series A Common Stock, as reported in Item 5(c) of this Statement, in order to increase its equity interest in the Issuer.

On March 25, 2009, Hearst issued a press release. The press release is filed with this Statement as Exhibit 1. The contents of the press release are incorporated by reference into this Item 4. In the press release, Hearst announced that it intends to commence a tender offer to acquire all outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock not already owned by the Reporting Persons at a price of $4.00 per share in cash.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

(a) and (b) As of March 25, 2009, Hearst Broadcasting owned 35,501,980 shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer and 41,298,648 shares of Series B Common Stock of the Issuer. Each share of Series B Common Stock is immediately convertible at the option of the holder into one share of Series A Common Stock. Therefore, the 41,298,648 shares of Series B Common Stock owned directly by Hearst Broadcasting represent, if converted, 41,298,648 shares of Series A Common Stock and, accordingly, Hearst Broadcasting beneficially owns an aggregate of 76,800,628 shares of Series A Common Stock. The Trust is the owner of all of Hearst’s issued and outstanding common stock. Hearst is the owner of all of Hearst Holdings’ issued and outstanding common stock. Hearst Holdings is the owner of all of Hearst Broadcasting’s issued and outstanding common stock. Because of these relationships among the Reporting Persons, each of Hearst Broadcasting, Hearst Holdings, Hearst and the Trust may be deemed to

share the power to direct the voting of and the disposition of the 76,800,628 shares of Series A Common Stock beneficially owned by Hearst Broadcasting. The 76,800,628 shares of Series A Common Stock beneficially owned by Hearst Broadcasting represent approximately 82% of the shares of Series A Common Stock that would be outstanding after giving effect to the conversion of all the shares of Series B Common Stock into shares of Series A Common Stock, based on the combined number of 93,672,572 outstanding shares of Series A Common Stock and Series B Common Stock reported by the Issuer as being outstanding as of February 17, 2009, in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed by the Issuer with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 27, 2009.

(c) Since filing Amendment No. 69 to this Statement, Hearst Broadcasting purchased 228,100 shares of Series A Common Stock of the Issuer pursuant to open-market purchases conducted under a “written plan for trading securities” within the meaning of Rule 10b5-1 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Further details regarding these purchases are set forth below.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

On December 5, 2007, the Board of Directors of Hearst approved the purchase from time to time by Hearst Broadcasting of up to 8 million shares of Series A Common Stock in open market and privately negotiated purchases in order to increase its ownership percentage in the Issuer to approximately 82% (on a fully-diluted basis) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. This authorization superseded all remaining ability to purchase shares of Series A Common Stock under previous authorizations and, after giving

effect to the purchases set forth above in Item 5(c), Hearst’s ownership percentage in the Issuer is now approximately 82%.
