The Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of broadcasting licenses and trademarks, while the Company's definite-lived intangible assets consist of broadcast advertising and affiliate relationships.

The Company performs impairment testing of its broadcasting licenses annually as of December 31 of each year and on an interim basis if events or circumstances indicate that broadcasting licenses may be impaired. The Company reviews the carrying value of its definite-lived intangible assets, primarily broadcast advertising and affiliate relationships for recoverability prior to its annual impairment test and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. Events and circumstances did not necessitate any interim impairment tests during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
