Equity Media Holdings sold the Retro Television Network to Luken Communications in June 2008, cancelled local newscasts on its stations and attempted to sell various assets, ultimately filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in December 2008. On Jan 4, 2009 all Equity-owned or operated stations lost their affiliations with RTN due to a business dispute involving unpaid obligations to programming suppliers.〔(Equity's Management Cause of Downfall, Former CEO Asserts ), Mark Hengel, Arkansas Business, February 2, 2009〕 Equity was liquidated in 2009 under the control of a chief restructuring officer appointed by creditor Silver Point Finance. Most of its individual television stations have been sold with any remaining Equity stations now permanently off-air, their FCC licences revoked after going dark beyond one year. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Larry E.
