Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract]  
BUSINESS COMBINATIONS BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
The Company records acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting, and allocates the purchase price to the assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values as determined as of the acquisition date. Merger and acquisition costs are excluded from the purchase price as these costs are expensed for book purposes and amortized for tax purposes.
2021 Urban One Exchange
On April 20, 2021, the Company completed a transaction with Urban One, Inc. ("Urban One") under which the Company exchanged its four station cluster in Charlotte, North Carolina for one station in St. Louis, Missouri, one station in Washington, D.C., and one station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (the "Urban One Exchange"). The Company and Urban One began programming the respective stations under local marketing agreements ("LMAs") on November 23, 2020. During the period of the LMAs, the Company's consolidated financial statements excluded net revenues and station operating expenses associated with the four station cluster in Charlotte, North Carolina and included net revenues and station operating expenses associated with the stations in St. Louis, Missouri, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
Upon completion of the Urban One Exchange, the Company: (i) removed from its condensed consolidated balance sheet the assets of the divested stations, which were previously classified as assets held for sale; (ii) recorded the assets of the acquired stations at fair value; and (iii) recognized a gain on the exchange of approximately $4.0 million. Based upon the timing of the Urban One Exchange, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended June 30, 2021: (i) reflect the results of the acquired stations for the portion of the period in which the LMAs were in effect and after the completion of the Urban One Exchange; and (ii) do not reflect the results of the divested stations. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020: (i) do not reflect the results of the acquired stations; and (ii) reflect the results of the divested stations.
The Company's fair value analysis contains assumptions based on past experience, reflects expectations of industry observers and includes judgments about future performance using industry normalized information. The allocations presented in the table below are based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. The following preliminary purchase price allocations are based upon the valuation of assets and these estimates and assumptions 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. Differences between the preliminary and final valuation could be substantially different from the initial estimate.

2021 Podcorn Acquisition
On March 9, 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of podcast influencers marketplace, Podcorn Media, Inc. ("Podcorn") for $14.6 million in cash and a performance-based earn out over the next two years (the "Podcorn Acquisition"). The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 reflect the results of Podcorn for the portion of the period after the completion of the Podcorn Acquisition. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 do not reflect the results of Podcorn.
The Podcorn Acquisition includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to Podcorn based upon the achievement of certain annual performance benchmarks over a two-year period. A portion of the contingent consideration could be paid out in 2023 and a portion of the contingent consideration could be paid out in 2024. The timing of the payment of the contingent consideration is dependent upon Adjusted EBITDA values for 2022 and 2023, as defined in the purchase agreement. The range of the total undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the
contingent consideration agreement over the two-year period is between $0 and $45.2 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $7.7 million was estimated by applying probability-weighted, discounted future cash flows at current tax rates. The significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used to estimate the fair value include the projected Adjusted EBITDA values, as defined in the purchase agreement, for 2022 and 2023, and the discount rate.
The Company's fair value analysis contains assumptions based on past experience, reflects expectations of industry observers and includes judgments about future performance using industry normalized information. Using a residual method, any excess between the consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Management believes that this acquisition provides the Company with an opportunity to benefit from customer relationships, technical knowledge and trade secrets.
The allocations presented in the table below are based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. The following preliminary purchase price allocations are based upon the valuation of assets and these estimates and assumptions 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. Differences between the preliminary and final valuation could be substantially different from the initial estimate.

The aggregate fair value purchase price allocation for the assets acquired in the Podcorn Acquisition as previously reported was revised during the six months ended June 30, 2021 due to a change to the net working capital amounts associated with the acquired company which resulted in an increase to acquired goodwill.
2020 QL Gaming Group Acquisition
On November 9, 2020, the Company completed the acquisition of sports data and iGaming affiliate platform QL Gaming Group ("QLGG") in an all cash deal for approximately $32 million (the "QLGG Acquisition"). The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended June 30, 2021, reflect the results of QLGG for the portion of the period after the completion of the QLGG Acquisition. The Company's condensed consolidated financial statements for the six and three months ended June 30, 2020 do not reflect the results of QLGG.
The Company's fair value analysis contains assumptions based on past experience, reflects expectations of industry observers and includes judgments about future performance using industry normalized information. Using a residual method, any excess between the consideration paid and the fair value of net assets acquired was recorded as goodwill. Management believes that this acquisition provides the Company with an opportunity to benefit from acquired technology, customer relationships, technical knowledge and trade secrets.
The allocations presented in the table below are based upon management's estimate of the fair values using valuation techniques including income, cost and market approaches. The following preliminary purchase price allocations are based upon the valuation of assets and these estimates and assumptions 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. Differences between the preliminary and final valuation could be substantially different from the initial estimate.
