Citadel Broadcasting Announces Proposed Offering of

$500,000,000 of Senior Notes

Las Vegas, Nevada, November 24, 2010 - Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (“Citadel”) announced today that it intends to commence an offering (the “Offering”) of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of senior notes due 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Citadel and will be guaranteed by certain of Citadel’s existing and future wholly-owned U.S. subsidiaries.

Citadel expects that the proceeds from the Offering will be used to pay down debt under Citadel’s current credit facility. Concurrently with the Offering, Citadel intends to enter into a new credit facility.

The Notes and the related guarantees will be offered in the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements. This notice is issued pursuant to Rule 135c of the Securities Act, and does not constitute an offer to sell the Notes, nor a solicitation for an offer to purchase the Notes.
