Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements Disclosure [Text Block] | 1. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2012, which was derived from the audited financial statements as of December 31, 2012 of Gray Television, Inc. (“we”, “us”, “our”, “Gray” or the “Company”) and our accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 2013 and for the periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. Our operations consist of one reportable segment. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012 (the “2012 Form 10-K”). Our financial condition as of, and operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended, June 30, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the financial condition or results that may be expected for any future interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2013. Seasonality and Cyclicality Broadcast advertising revenues are generally highest in the second and fourth quarters each year. This seasonality results partly from increases in consumer advertising in the spring and retail advertising in the period leading up to and including the holiday season. Broadcast advertising revenues are also typically higher in even-numbered years due to increased spending by political candidates, political parties and special interest groups in advance of elections. This political spending typically is heaviest during the fourth quarter. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Our actual results could differ materially from these estimates. The most significant estimates we make relate to our allowance for doubtful accounts in receivables, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, amortization of program broadcast rights and intangible assets, stock-based compensation, pension costs, income taxes, employee medical insurance claims, useful lives of property and equipment and contingencies. Earnings Per Share We compute basic earnings per share by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the relevant period. The weighted-average number of common shares outstanding does not include restricted shares. These shares, although classified as issued and outstanding, are considered contingently returnable until the restrictions lapse and, in accordance with U.S. GAAP, are not included in the basic earnings per share calculation until the shares vest. Diluted earnings per share is computed by including common stock equivalents for all potentially dilutive common shares, including restricted shares and shares underlying stock options, in the denominator of the diluted earnings per weighted-average share calculation, unless their inclusion would be antidilutive. Common stock equivalents are calculated using the treasury stock method. The following table reconciles basic weighted-average shares outstanding to diluted weighted-average shares outstanding for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands):
|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Nine Months Ended |
|  | June 30, |  |  | June 30, |
|  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |  |  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Weighted-average shares outstanding-basic |  |  | 57,561 |  |  |  | 57,151 |  |  |  | 57,542 |  |  |  | 57,149 |
Common stock equivalents for stock options and restricted stock |  |  | 378 |  |  |  | 39 |  |  |  | 278 |  |  |  | 20 |
Weighted-average shares outstanding-diluted |  |  | 57,939 |  |  |  | 57,190 |  |  |  | 57,820 |  |  |  | 57,169 |
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss Our accumulated other comprehensive loss balances as of June 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 consist of adjustments to our pension liability and income tax benefit as follows (in thousands):
|  | June 30, |  |  | December 31, |
|  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |
Accumulated balances of items included in accumulated other comprehensive loss: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Increase in pension liability |  | $ | (33,065 | ) |  | $ | (33,065 | )
Income tax benefit |  |  | (12,895 | ) |  |  | (12,895 | )
Accumulated other comprehensive loss |  | $ | (20,170 | ) |  | $ | (20,170 | )
Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income Our comprehensive income for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 consists entirely of net income. Therefore, a consolidated statement of comprehensive income is not presented for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2013 and 2012. Property and Equipment Property and equipment are carried at cost. Depreciation is computed principally by the straight-line method. Maintenance, repairs and minor replacements are charged to operations as incurred; major replacements and betterments are capitalized. The cost of any assets sold or retired and the related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts at the time of disposition, and any resulting profit or loss is reflected in income or expense for the period. The following table lists components of property and equipment by major category (in thousands):
|  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  | Estimated |
|  | June 30, |  |  | December 31, |  |  | Useful Lives |
|  | 2013 |  |  | 2012 |  |  | (in years) |
Property and equipment: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Land |  | $ | 24,583 |  |  | $ | 24,383 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Buildings and improvements |  |  | 56,213 |  |  |  | 55,709 |  |  |  | 7 | to | 40 |
Equipment |  |  | 324,096 |  |  |  | 313,761 |  |  |  | 3 | to | 20 |
|  |  | 404,892 |  |  |  | 393,853 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Accumulated depreciation |  |  | (269,674 | ) |  |  | (258,715 | ) |  |  |  |  |  |
Total property and equipment, net |  | $ | 135,218 |  |  | $ | 135,138 |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our allowance for doubtful accounts is equal to at least 85% of our receivable balances that are 120 days old or older. We may provide allowances for certain receivable balances that are less than 120 days old when warranted by specific facts and circumstances. We generally write-off accounts receivable balances when the customer files for bankruptcy or when all commonly used methods of collection have been exhausted. Recent Accounting Pronouncements We have reviewed all recently issued accounting pronouncements. Of those pronouncements that have been issued but are not yet effective, we do not anticipate a material impact upon our financial statements upon our adoption of those pronouncements. None of the pronouncements that became effective and were adopted by us during the six months ended June 30, 2013 had a material effect upon our results of operations or financial position.
