Our retransmission agreements and network affiliation agreements are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Other intangibles primarily include distribution agreements from our multicast networks acquisition, which are also amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. In 2023, gross retransmission agreement intangible assets and associated accumulated amortization decreased by $111.2 million, due to certain retransmission intangible assets reaching the end of their useful lives.
