Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On February 6, 2006, the Company and Alphabet Acquisition Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “ABC Radio Merger Agreement”) with The Walt Disney Company (“TWDC”) and ABC Radio Holdings, Inc., formerly ABC Chicago FM Radio, Inc. (“ABC Radio”), a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of TWDC. Pursuant to and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the ABC Radio Merger Agreement, the Company will combine its business with ABC Radio (“the Merger”), which includes 22 radio stations and the ABC Radio Network. The combination is structured as a reverse Morris Trust transaction. Prior to the Merger, ABC Radio will incur a specified amount of debt, the proceeds of which TWDC or its affiliates will retain (discussed below), and TWDC will distribute ownership of ABC Radio to TWDC shareholders. In addition, pursuant to the ABC Radio Merger Agreement, the Company is expected to declare a special distribution payable prior to the closing of the Merger to holders of common stock of the Company of record at a date to be set.

On November 19, 2006, the Company, Alphabet Acquisition, TWDC and ABC Radio entered into amendments (the “Amendments”) to modify the terms of agreements relating to the Merger. Under the Amendments, the potential amount of cash retained by TWDC has been reduced by $300 million in the aggregate, $100 million of which is an outright reduction in the cash to be retained and $200 million of which will be taken into account in determining an increase in TWDC’s shareholders’ equity ownership in the combined business going forward. As a result of the additional Citadel common stock being issued, TWDC’s shareholders’ equity ownership in the Company after the merger has been increased from approximately 52% to approximately 57%.

Specifically, to effect the $300 million reduction in the total potential amount of cash TWDC will retain, the Amendments adjust the amount of debt that ABC Radio will incur, the proceeds of which will be retained by TWDC, from the original range of $1.4 billion to $1.65 billion to a revised range of $1.1 billion to $1.35 billion. The precise amount of the debt that ABC Radio will incur will be determined based upon the market price of the Company’s common stock over a measurement period ending prior to closing. The increase in Disney shareholders’ equity ownership in the Company after the Merger will result from the Company’s issuance of an additional $200 million of Citadel common stock to TWDC’s shareholders, priced as follows: (i) $100 million of Company common stock based on a formula set forth in the ABC Radio Merger Agreement, subject to adjustment for the special distribution expected to be paid by the Company to its pre-merger shareholders and (ii) $100 million of the Company’s common stock valued at $10.40, subject to adjustment for the special distribution expected to be paid by the Company to its pre-merger shareholders. Accordingly, immediately after closing of the Merger, TWDC’s shareholders are expected to own approximately 57% of the common stock of the Company.

In the Amendments, the parties also have agreed that the Merger will not close earlier than May 31, 2007, unless the Company elects to close at an earlier date and that, subject to certain conditions, either party may terminate the ABC Radio Merger Agreement after June 15, 2007 if the Merger has not closed by that date. In addition, the parties have agreed (i) that the Chief Executive Officer of the Company may consult with senior management of ABC Radio in an advisory role prior to the closing of the Merger and (ii) to limit the definition in the ABC Radio Merger Agreement of what constitutes a Business Material Adverse Effect. Except as expressly amended by the Amendments, the ABC Radio Merger Agreement will remain in full force and effect.

Consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including the absence of certain legal impediments to the consummation of the Merger, the effectiveness of certain filings with the SEC, the receipt of consent to, or rulings on, the transactions from the Federal Communications Commission and the Internal Revenue Service and the receipt of certain legal tax opinions.

The foregoing description of the Amendments is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Amendment No. 1 to the Merger Agreement and Amendment No. 1 to the Separation Agreement, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

CITADEL BROADCASTING CORPORATION

ANNOUNCES MODIFICATION TO ABC MERGER

Las Vegas, Nevada, November 22, 2006—Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (NYSE:CDL) today announced that Citadel and The Walt Disney Company have modified the terms of the February 6, 2006 Agreement and Plan of Merger to combine Citadel’s business with the ABC Radio business.

Under the Amendments, the potential amount of cash retained by Disney has been reduced by $300 million in the aggregate, $100 million of which is an outright reduction in the cash to be retained and $200 million of which will be taken into account in determining an increase in Disney shareholders’ equity ownership in the combined business going forward. The additional $200 million of Citadel common stock will be priced as follows: (i) $100 million of Citadel common stock at a price expected to be between $10.89 and $14.51, determined during a pre-closing measurement period based on a formula in the merger agreement and (ii) $100 million of Citadel common stock at $10.40, both subject to adjustment for the special distribution expected to be paid by Citadel to its pre-merger shareholders. Under the Amendments, Disney shareholders’ equity ownership in Citadel after the merger will increase from approximately 52% to approximately 57%.

Under the amendments, the merger is not expected to close prior to May 31, 2007.
