Connoisseur Media Asset Exchange
On June 26, 2019, the Company completed its previously announced non-monetary exchange with Connoisseur Media ("Connoisseur Swap"). The Company received WODE-FM, WWYY-FM, WEEX-AM and WTKZ-AM in and around Allentown, PA and Connoisseur Media received WEBE-FM in Westport, CT, and WICC-AM in Bridgeport, CT.
On a preliminary basis, the carrying value of the assets transferred to Connoisseur Media as part of the Connoisseur Swap was approximately $3.7 million. The Company expects the fair value of assets acquired in the Connoisseur Swap will approximate the carrying value of the assets transferred, with any difference accounted for as a gain or loss on the exchange.    
The preliminary purchase price allocation for the Entercom Swap and Connoisseur Swap are based upon the valuation of assets received and the estimates and assumptions used in these valuations are subject to change as the Company obtains additional information during the measurement period, which may be up to one year from the acquisition date. The preliminary and final valuations could be different.
