Newspaper publisher A. H. Belo Corporation (AHC) reported third quarter 2009 revenues of $126.9 million and a net loss of ($5.8) million, or ($0.28) per share, for the third quarter. Included in the net loss was a $20 million, or ($0.97) per share non-cash impairment charge and a $12 million or $0.58 per share, tax benefit.

Robert W. Decherd, chairman, president and Chief Executive Officer, said, "The year-to-year percent decline in advertising revenue eased slightly in the third quarter when compared to the first and second quarters of 2009 due to the improved performance of The Dallas Morning News. For the third quarter, A. H. Belo successfully managed costs and increased consolidated EBITDA by $6.4 million versus the second quarter of 2009 and $22.5 million versus the third quarter of 2008. We are pleased with the recent improvements in the quantity and quality of The Morning News' journalistic products and the related opportunity to increase circulation pricing.
