Through this engagement with GAMCO, Caymus Partners will represent the interests of GAMCO's clients in any possible transaction that may occur with LIN TV. Mario J. Gabelli, Chairman of GAMCO Investors, Inc., said that "the dynamics in the private equity market" led him to seek the assistance of Caymus Partners, a middle-market investment bank with offices in Atlanta and New York and an expertise in media businesses, among others.

J. Oliver Maggard, Managing Partner of Caymus Partners, says, "Our engagement by GAMCO represents a growing trend among large institutional investors and other stakeholders who have a strong desire to have investment banking representation as companies in which they have a significant interest explore exiting the public markets and other strategic alternatives.
