Inc. To Withdraw Its Class A Common Stock, $.01 Par Value, From Listing 
and Registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC File No. 1-11588

January 15, 2004.
    Saga Communications, Inc., a Delaware 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, $.01 par value (``Security''), from listing 
and registration on the American Stock Exchange LLC (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').

    The Board of Directors (``Board'') of the Issuer approved 
resolutions on December 12, 2003 to withdraw the Issuer's Security from 
listing on the Amex and to list the Security on the New York Stock 
Exchange, Inc. (``NYSE''). The Board states that it is taking such 
action in order to avoid the direct and indirect costs and the division 
of the market resulting from dual listing on the Amex and NYSE. In 
addition, the Board determined that it is in the best interest of the 
Issuer to list its Security on the NYSE. The Issuer states that it 
currently expects its Security to be approved for listing on the NYSE 
on or about January 20, 2004.
    The Issuer stated in its application that it has met the 
requirements of Amex Rule 18 by complying with all applicable laws in 
the State of Delaware, 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 withdrawal of the 
Securities from listing on the Amex and from registration under section 
12(b) of the Act \3\ shall not affect its obligation to be registered 
under section 12(g) of the Act.\4\

    Any interested person may, on or before February 9, 2004, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, NW., Washington, DC 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\
