Land Assets Held For Sale

Long-lived assets to be sold are classified as held for sale in the period in which they meet all the criteria for the disposal of long-lived assets. In the second quarter of 2013, management determined that it had met all of the criteria to reflect certain land it no longer used as held for sale. As of June 30, 2013, the Company classified land in the amount of $2.1 million as assets held for sale.The land formerly served as a transmitter site in one of the Company's markets.

Impairment Of Assets Held For Sale

Long-lived assets considered held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying value or fair value less the cost to sell. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the carrying value of land it was holding for sale was in excess of the fair value less the cost to sell. The Level 3fair value measurement was determined using a third party's offer as representative of the fair value. The third party's offer was accepted by the Company in early July 2013. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2013.
