Washington, DC: - Radio One, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROIAK and ROIA) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. Net revenue was approximately $83.4 million, an increase of 1% from the same period in 2007. Station operating income1 was approximately $35.2 million, a decrease of 11% from the same period in 2007. Operating income of approximately $11.8 million was adversely impacted by one-time charges, resulting in a decrease of 44% from the operating income in the same period in 2007. Net loss was approximately $11.7 million or $0.12 per basic share, an increase from the reported net loss of $5.1 million in the same period in 2007. On a pro forma basis after adjusting for the impact of one-time charges, the net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was approximately $1.3 million or $0.01 per basic share, a decrease from the pro forma net loss of approximately $4.0 million in the same period in 2007.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One’s CEO and President stated, “It was a very busy quarter for us, complete with acquisitions, including the purchase of Community Connect Inc. (“CCI”), asset sales, debt de-leveraging and stock buy-backs, yet I am pleased we were focused and delivered better than market results. While the soft economy and continuing fall off in national revenues impacted our radio business, we once again outperformed the markets we operate in by over 200 basis points. Our core radio revenues declined 3%, yet our local revenue performance significantly offset the continuing drag we experienced in our national business. Other positives impacting the quarter for radio were strong political spending, internet revenue growth of 36% and a doubling of revenue from a series of new syndicated shows.

Given the backdrop of the weak economy and declining revenues in radio, we once again focused on cutting back on operating expenses and improving our balance sheet. Setting aside consolidation of CCI’s expenses, our internet investments and one-time charges for a new executive employment agreement, as well as spending on the 2007 stock options review, we under spent inflation, and almost held expenses flat. On the balance sheet, we wrapped up the purchase WPRS-FM for our Washington, DC market. In addition, proceeds from our Los Angeles and Miami asset sales positioned us to accomplish net debt pay downs and bond retirements of $77 million, as well as the buy-back of over 2 million shares.

Net revenue increased to approximately $83.4 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, from approximately $82.6 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of 1%. In April 2008, we acquired Community Connect Inc. (“CCI”), a social online networking company, which resulted in the consolidation of approximately $3.6 million in net revenue from their operations. For our radio business, while we again outperformed from a revenue perspective that of the markets in which we operate, we experienced a decrease in net revenue consistent with the decline in overall radio industry revenue, with the continuing significant fall off in national revenue driving almost all of our decline. These circumstances drove considerable net revenue declines in two of our larger markets, Atlanta and Houston, and more modest declines in our Cincinnati, Detroit and Washington, DC markets. These declines were offset in part from net revenue growth in our Indianapolis and Raleigh-Durham markets, as well as increased net revenue from new syndicated programs, internet revenue from station websites and political advertising. Reach Media had a decline in revenue due to the absence of TV licensing revenue as well the hosting of fewer and smaller sponsored events during second quarter. Net revenue is reported net of agency and outside sales representative commissions of approximately $9.4 million and $9.9 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Excluding the net revenue results from CCI, net revenue declined 3.4% for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.

Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation and impairment of long-lived assets increased to approximately $65.8 million from approximately $51.4 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of 28%. The increase resulted primarily from approximately $10.4 million recorded ($5.8 million of which was paid) for bonus amounts associated with the Chief Executive Officer’s (“CEO”) new employment agreement. An increase of approximately $3.5 million resulted from consolidating the operating results of CCI. Other increases in operating expenses resulted from approximately $2.1 million in spending on our internet initiative, including $550,000 in costs for a major internet traffic acquisition agreement, additional research associated with Arbitron’s new people meter methodology (“PPM”), on-air talent expenses, mainly for new syndicated shows and additional compensation for recent corporate and other hires. This increased spending was offset in part by the absence of approximately $1.7 million in legal and professional spending associated with the 2007 voluntary review of our past stock options practices, less expense for officer retention bonuses, savings from reduced marketing and promotions, events, travel and entertainment spending and savings from suspending our 401(k) match program. We also spent less in revenue variable expenses such as commissions and national representative fees. Excluding the approximately $2.1 million incurred on our internet initiative, CCI’s $3.5 million in operating expenses, last year’s stock option review expenses and the approximately $10.4 million recorded for the CEO’s bonus amounts, operating expenses were essentially flat, increasing only 0.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2008, compared to the same period in 2007.

Stock-based compensation decreased to $629,000 from $777,000 for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, a decline of 19%. Stock-based compensation consists of expenses associated with our January 1, 2006 adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” and expenses associated with restricted stock grants. The decrease in stock-based compensation was due to forfeitures, cancellations and the completion of the vesting period for certain stock options. The decrease was offset in part due to expense for additional restricted stock grants associated with new employment agreements for the CEO, the Founder and Chairperson and the Chief Financial Officer.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased to approximately $5.2 million compared to $3.7 million for the quarters ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, an increase of 41%. The consolidation of CCI’s operating results accounted for almost all of the increase, including an amount of $971,000 in amortization expense associated with certain assets acquired as part of the purchase, mainly registered membership lists, advertiser relationships and a favorable office lease. Additional depreciation and amortization for capital expenditures made subsequent to June 30, 2007 were equally offset with a decrease in amortization expense associated with certain affiliate agreements acquired as part of our purchase of 51% of Reach Media.

Interest expense decreased to approximately $15.2 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 from approximately $18.6 million for the same period in 2007, a decline of 18%. The decrease in interest expense resulted primarily from interest savings associated with lower net borrowings due to debt pay downs and lower interest rates which impacted the variable portion of our debt. We also incurred less fees associated with the operation of WPRS-FM (formerly WXGG-FM) pursuant to a local marketing agreement (“LMA”) that began in April of 2007. We closed on the purchase of the assets of WPRS-FM in June 2008 for approximately $38.0 million in cash.

Equity in income of affiliated company was $29,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, an improvement from the loss of approximately $3.1 million for the same period in 2007. The income is attributable to our share of a small net income generated by TV One, LLC (“TV One”) for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to our share of TV One’s losses for the three months ended June 30, 2007. The Company’s share of TV One’s income or losses is driven by TV One’s current capital structure and the Company’s ownership levels in the equity securities of TV One that are currently absorbing its net income or losses. An adjustment was made to equity in loss of affiliated company for the quarter ended June 30, 2007 to correct for a change in TV One’s capital structure. Pursuant to Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) 99, “Materiality” and SAB 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” we decreased the previously reported equity in loss of affiliated company for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $1.2 million and increased the previously reported equity in loss of affiliated company for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $2.5 million.

Provision for income taxes increased to approximately $9.8 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008 compared to a benefit of $801,000 for the quarter ended June 30, 2007. In prior years, we recorded a deferred tax liability (“DTL”) related to the amortization of indefinite-lived assets that are deducted for tax purposes, but not deducted for book purposes. Also in prior years, the Company generated deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), mainly federal and state net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards. In the fourth quarter of 2007, except for DTAs in its historically profitable filing jurisdictions, and DTAs associated with definite-lived assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for all other DTAs, including NOLs, as it was determined that more likely than not, the DTAs would not be realized. As a result, approximately $8.5 million of the increase in the provision for income taxes is due primarily to recording a full valuation allowance against the additional NOLs generated from the tax deductible amortization of indefinite-lived assets for the three months ended June 30, 2008.

Gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, was approximately $1.3 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2008, compared to a loss of approximately $4.8 million for the same period in 2007. The approximately $1.3 million gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 primarily resulted from the gain on the closing of the sale of the assets of radio station WMCU-AM (formerly WTPS-AM). The loss of approximately $4.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 resulted from entering into definitive agreements to sell the assets of our Los Angeles, Augusta, Louisville, Dayton, Minneapolis and Boston WILD-FM stations, and approximately $10.4 million in impairment charges that were recorded in the period ended June 30, 2007 based on the sale prices of those agreements.

For comparative purposes, the following more detailed, unaudited and adjusted statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 are included. These detailed, unaudited and adjusted statements of operations include certain reclassifications associated with accounting for discontinued operations. These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or loss, or any other previously reported statements of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts. In addition, an adjustment was made to equity in loss of affiliated company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 to correct for a change in TV One’s capital structure. Pursuant to SAB 99, “Materiality” and SAB 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” we decreased the previously reported equity in loss of affiliated company for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $1.2 million and increased the previously reported equity in loss of affiliated company for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $2.5 million.

1 “Station operating income” consists of net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, corporate expenses, stock based compensation, equity in loss of affiliated company, provision (benefit) for income taxes, minority interest in income of subsidiaries, interest expense, impairment of long-lived assets, other (income) expense, gain on retirement of debt, and loss (income) from discontinued operations, net of tax. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless we believe station operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets because station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations apart from expenses associated with our physical plant, income taxes, investments, debt financings, overhead, stock-based compensation, impairment of long-lived assets, results of operations and income (losses) from asset sales. Station operating income is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Station operating income does not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of operating income to station operating income has been provided in this release.

3 An adjustment was made to equity in loss of affiliated company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 to correct for a change in TV One’s capital structure. Pursuant to SAB 99, “Materiality” and SAB 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements,” we decreased the previously reported equity in loss of affiliated company for the three month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $1.2 million and increased the previously reported equity in loss of affiliated company for the six month period ended June 30, 2007 by approximately $2.5 million.

6 “Adjusted EBITDA” consists of net (loss) income plus (1) depreciation, amortization, provision (benefit) for income taxes, interest expense, equity in loss of affiliated company, and minority interest in income of subsidiaries, impairment of long-lived assets, stock-based compensation, other expense, (income) loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, less (2) and interest income and gain on retirement of debt. Net income before interest income, interest expense, provision (benefit) for income taxes, depreciation and amortization is commonly referred to in our business as “EBITDA.” Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA are not measures of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. We believe Adjusted EBITDA is often a useful measure of a company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our business because Adjusted EBITDA excludes charges for depreciation, amortization and interest expense that have resulted from our acquisitions and debt financing, our taxes, impairment charges, as well as our equity in loss of our affiliated company, gain on retirement of debt, and any discontinued operations. Accordingly, we believe that Adjusted EBITDA provides useful information about the operating performance of our business, apart from the expenses associated with our physical plant, capital structure or the results of our affiliated company. Adjusted EBITDA is frequently used as one of the bases for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA and EBITDA do not purport to represent operating income or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as alternatives to those measurements as an indicator of our performance. A reconciliation of net income to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA has been provided in this release.
