Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Business segment information

Business segment information

We classify our operations into two reportable segments: Media: consisting of our 46 television stations operating in 38 markets, offering high-quality television programming and digital content; and Digital: primarily consisting of our Cars.com and CareerBuilder business units which operate in the automotive and human capital solutions industries, respectively. Our reportable segments have been determined based on our management and internal reporting structure, the nature of products and services offered by the segments, and the financial information that is evaluated regularly by our chief operating decision maker.

The Digital Segment and the digital revenues line exclude online/digital revenues generated by digital platforms that are associated with our Media Segment’s operating properties as such amounts are reflected in the Media Segment. Summary operating results for each of our business segments were as follows (in thousands):
