ITEM 3.01.                       Notice of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing

On August 26, 2008, Radio One, Inc. announced that it has received approval from the NASDAQ Stock Market to transfer the listing of its Class A Shares from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market. The transfer will be effective at the opening of business on August 27, 2008, and the Company's Class A Shares will continue to trade under the symbol “ROIA”.

The NASDAQ Capital Market is a continuous trading market that operates in substantially the same manner as The NASDAQ Global Market. All companies, whose securities are listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market, must meet certain financial requirements and adhere to NASDAQ’s corporate governance standards.

The listing transfer does not affect the Class D Shares which represent over 96 percent of the Company's outstanding public float and continue to trade on The NASDAQ Global Market.
