Local Marketing Agreement [Abstract]
Local Marketing Agreement	NOTE 17 Local Marketing Agreement In May 2009, the Company entered into a three year LMA with South Sound Broadcasting LLC ("South Sound") to manage one of South Sound's FM radio stations licensed to Oakville, Washington. The station broadcasts the Company's KOMO Radio programming to FM listeners in the Seattle—Tacoma radio market. Contemporaneously with the LMA, the Company entered into an option agreement with South Sound, whereby the Company has the right to acquire the station until May 8, 2012. If the Company does not exercise the option prior to its expiration date, the Company is obligated to pay South Sound up to approximately $1.4 million. Due to the term of our LMA and the uncertainties associated with the exercise of our option agreement, South Sound does not meet the criteria for consolidation. Advertising revenues earned under this LMA are recorded as revenue and LMA fees and programming expenses are recorded as operating costs.
