Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

In an Amendment No. 2 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A that was filed by Paxson Communications Corporation (the "Registrant") on March 18, 2005 (the "Prior Form 8-K"), the Registrant disclosed that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Registrant (the "Committee") had determined that, with respect to each of Lowell W. Paxson, Dean M. Goodman, Richard Garcia, Adam K. Weinstein and Tammy G. Hedge, each of whom is a current executive officer of the Registrant, that executive officer’s entitlement to up to 65% (50% in the case of Ms. Hedge) of his or her total 2005 bonus opportunity will be determined based on the extent to which the Registrant meets certain financial performance goals that had not been established by the Committee as of the filing of the Prior Form 8-K.

On July 26, 2005, the Committee determined that the financial performance goals that will be used to determine each executive officer's entitlement to the company performance component of his or her bonus for 2005 will be target amounts of adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA).
