SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (Media General, 
Inc., Class A Common Stock, $5.00 par value) File No. 1-6383

October 3, 2001.
    Media General, Inc., a Virginia Corporation (``Issuer''), has filed 
an application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange 
Act of 1934 (``Act'') \1\ and Rule 12d2-2(d) thereunder,\2\ to withdraw 
its Class A Common Stock, $5.00 par value (``Security''), from listing 
and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'').
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(d).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.12d2-2(d).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
effect in the Commonwealth of Virginia, in which it is incorporated, 
and with the Amex's rules governing an issuer's voluntary withdrawal of 
a security from listing and registration. The Issuer's application 
relates solely to the Security's withdrawal from listing on the Amex 
and registration under Section 12(b) of the Act \3\ and shall not 
affect its obligation to be registered under Section 12(g) the Act.\4\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(b).
    \4\ 15 U.S.C. 78l(g).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On August 15, 2001, the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved 
resolutions to withdraw the Issuer's Security from listing on the Amex 
and list it on the New York Stock Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). In its 
application, the Issuer states that trading in the Security on the Amex 
will cease on September 18, 2001, and trading in the Security is 
expected to begin on the NYSE at the opening of business on September 
19, 2001. In making the decision to withdraw the Security from listing 
on the Exchange, the Issuer considered the potential of increased 
liquidity for its Security by listing on the NYSE.
    Any interested person may, on or before November 5, 2001, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549-0609, facts bearing upon 
whether the application has been made in accordance with the rules of 
the Amex and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.
    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, pursuant 
to delegated authority.\5\
