Fisher Communications Announces Letter to Shareholders Regarding FrontFour Capital Group Attempt to Take Control

Fisher Communications, Inc. FSCI today announced it has mailed the following letter to all Fisher shareholders in connection with the Company's Annual Meeting of Shareholders on May 11, 2011 in Seattle, Washington. "At this year's May 11th Annual Meeting of Shareholders, there is a critical issue to be decided that will have an important impact on the future of your Company. FrontFour Capital Group, a hedge fund from Connecticut led by David Lorber, is attempting to take control of Fisher by nominating a slate of directors that, if elected, would give it control of the Company without any control premium being paid to you, the other shareholders. You can stop this brazen attempt by voting instead to elect Fisher's nominees who are highly qualified with more than 100 years of collective broadcasting and financial experience."
