NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which the Company owns 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the Company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

Information Regarding the Company

The Company is a Texas corporation with all of its common stock being held by Clear Channel Capital I, LLC (the “Parent Company”). All of the Parent Company’s interests are held by Clear Channel Capital II, LLC, a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of CC Media Holdings, Inc. (“CCMH”). CCMH was formed in May 2007 by private equity funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (together, the “Sponsors”) for the purpose of acquiring the business of the Company.

Omission of Per Share Information

Net loss per share information is not presented as the Parent Company owns 100% of the Company’s common stock. The Company does not have any publicly traded common stock or potential common stock.

Adoption of New Accounting Standards

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB”) ASU No. 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013 and are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for such obligations that exist at the beginning of an entity’s fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted the FASB’s ASU No. 2013-05, Parent’s Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. The amendments are effective prospectively for the fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013 and provide clarification guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment under current U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted the FASB’s ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This update requires unrecognized tax benefits to be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward in certain situations. The amendments are effective prospectively for the fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim

period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations.

NOTE 2 – PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL

Property, Plant and Equipment

The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

(In thousands)	June 30, 2014		December 31, 2013

Other property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,104,175	$	1,132,120

Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets

The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) broadcast licenses in its Media and Entertainment (“CCME”) segment and billboard permits in its Americas outdoor advertising segment. Due to significant differences in both business practices and regulations, billboards in the International outdoor advertising segment are subject to long-term, finite contracts unlike the Company’s permits in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, there are no indefinite-lived intangible assets in the International outdoor advertising segment.

Other Intangible Assets

Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets include primarily transit and street furniture contracts, talent and representation contracts, customer and advertiser relationships, and site-leases, all of which are amortized over the respective lives of the agreements, or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at cost.

The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

Subsidiary Sale of Long-Term Debt

On February 14, 2014, CC Finco LLC (“CC Finco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sold $227.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 issued by the Company to private purchasers in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This $227.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021, which was previously eliminated in consolidation because the notes were held by a subsidiary, is now reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. CC Finco contributed the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes due 2021 to the Company, which intends to use such proceeds to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire outstanding indebtedness from time to time and retire that indebtedness as it becomes due or upon its earlier repayment, repurchase or acquisition.

Debt Repayments, Maturities and Other

During February 2014, the Company repaid all principal amounts outstanding under its receivables based credit facility, using cash on hand. This voluntary repayment did not reduce the commitments under this facility and the Company has the ability to redraw amounts under this facility at any time.

During March 2014, CC Finco repurchased, through open market purchases, a total of $61.9 million aggregate principal amount of notes, comprised of $52.9 million of the Company’s outstanding 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 and $9.0 million of the Company’s outstanding 4.9% Senior Notes due 2015, for a total purchase price of $63.1 million, including accrued interest.

NOTE 4 – SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES

Income Tax Benefit (Expense)

The Company’s income tax benefit (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, consisted of the following components:

(In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013
Current tax benefit (expense)	$	7,492	$	(28,128)	$	(35,587)	$	(38,794)
Deferred tax benefit (expense)		(6,871)		16,651		(32,179)		123,642
Income tax benefit (expense)	$	621	$	(11,477)	$	(67,766)	$	84,848

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were 0.4% and (12.6)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded during the periods as additional deferred tax expense. The valuation allowance was recorded against a portion of the U.S. Federal and State net operating losses due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future periods.

The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 36.5% and 31.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily impacted by the cancellation of indebtedness income recognized during the periods and the Company’s inability to record tax benefit on tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future years.

Supplemental Cash Flow Information

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, cash paid for interest and income taxes, net of income tax refunds of $4.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was as follows:

	2014		2013
Interest	$	756,322	$	772,639
Income taxes		19,233		28,227

Australian Radio Network

The Company owned a 50% interest in Australian Radio Network (“ARN”), an Australian company that owns and operates radio stations in Australia and New Zealand. An impairment charge of $95.4 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2013 to write down the investment to its estimated fair value. On February 18, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company sold its 50% interest in ARN, recognizing a loss on the sale of $2.4 million and $11.5 million of foreign exchange losses that were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income at the date of the sale.

NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company’s assumptions or the effectiveness of the Company’s strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition or results of operations.

Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company’s litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.

Los Angeles Litigation

In 2008, Summit Media, LLC, one of the Company’s competitors, sued the City of Los Angeles (the “City”), Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS Outdoor in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. BS116611) challenging the validity of a settlement agreement that had been entered into in November 2006 among the parties. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had taken down existing billboards and converted 83 existing signs from static displays to digital displays pursuant to modernization permits issued through an administrative process of the City. The Los Angeles Superior Court ruled in January 2010 that the settlement agreement constituted an ultra vires act of the City and nullified its existence, but did not invalidate the modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS. All parties appealed the ruling by the Los Angeles Superior Court to the Court of Appeal for the State of California, Second Appellate District, Division 8. On December 10, 2012, the Court of Appeal issued an order upholding the Superior Court’s finding that the settlement agreement was ultra vires and remanding the case to the Superior Court for the purpose of invalidating the modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS for the digital displays that were the subject of the settlement agreement. On January 22, 2013, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. filed a petition with the California Supreme Court requesting its review of the matter, and the Supreme Court denied that petition on February 27, 2013. On April 12, 2013, the Los Angeles Superior Court invalidated 82 digital modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (77 of which displays were operating at the time of the ruling) and 13 issued to CBS and ordered that the companies turn off the electrical power to affected digital displays by the close of business on April 15, 2013. Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. has complied with the order. On April 16, 2013, the Court conducted further proceedings during which it held that it was not invalidating two additional digital modernization permits that Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had secured through a special zoning plan and confirmed that its April 12 order invalidated only digital modernization permits – no other types of permits the companies may have secured for the signs at issue. Summit Media, LLC filed a further motion requesting that the Court order the demolition of the 82 sign structures on which the now-invalidated digital signs operated, as well as the invalidation of several other permits for traditional signs allegedly issued under the settlement agreement. At a hearing held on November 22, 2013, the Court denied Summit Media, LLC’s demolition motion by allowing the 82 sign structures and their LED faces to remain intact, thus allowing Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. to seek permits under the existing City sign code to either wrap the LED faces with vinyl or convert the LED faces to traditional static signs. The Court further confirmed the invalidation of all permits issued under the settlement agreement. In anticipation of this order, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had removed six static billboard facings solely permitted under the settlement agreement. At a hearing held on January 21, 2014, the Court denied Summit Media, LLC’s motion for attorney’s fees on the basis that Summit Media, LLC had a substantial financial interest in the outcome of the litigation and, therefore, was not entitled to fees under California’s private attorney general statute. On March 12, 2014, Summit Media, LLC filed notices of appeal of the orders denying Summit Media, LLC’s fee petition and denying in part Summit Media, LLC’s demolition motion.

NOTE 6 - GUARANTEES

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding surety bonds and commercial standby letters of credit of $45.5 million and $113.3 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million of letters of credit were cash secured. Letters of credit in the amount of $2.0 million are collateral in support of surety bonds and these amounts would only be drawn under the letter of credit in the event the associated surety bonds were funded and the Company did not honor its reimbursement obligation to the issuers. These letters of credit and surety bonds relate to various operational matters including insurance, bid, and performance bonds as well as other items.

As of June 30, 2014, the Company had outstanding bank guarantees of $59.5 million related to international subsidiaries, of which $15.8 million were backed by cash collateral.

The Company does not have any compensation plans under which it grants awards to employees. CCMH and Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) have granted options to purchase shares of their Class A common stock to certain key individuals, as well as restricted stock and restricted stock units.

On July 21, 2014, in accordance with the terms of its charter, a committee of the board of CCOH (1) provided notice of its intent to demand $175 million outstanding under the revolving promissory note with the Company on August 11, 2014 and (2) declared a special cash dividend in aggregate amount equal to $175 million, the payment of which is conditioned upon the satisfaction by the Company of such demand, payable on August 11, 2014 to CCOH’s stockholders of record as of August 4, 2014. As the indirect parent of CCOH, the Company will be entitled to approximately 88% of the proceeds from such dividend through its wholly-owned subsidiaries. The remaining approximately 12% of the proceeds from the dividend, or approximately $21 million, will be paid to the public stockholders of CCOH. The Company will fund the net payment of this $21 million with cash on hand, which will reduce the amount of cash the Company has available to fund its working capital needs, debt service obligations and other obligations. Following satisfaction of the demand, the balance outstanding under the note will be reduced by $175 million.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Format of Presentation

Management’s discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations (“MD&A”) should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related footnotes. Our discussion is presented on both a consolidated and segment basis. All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Clear Channel Communications, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. Our reportable segments are Media and Entertainment (“CCME”), Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas outdoor” or “Americas outdoor advertising”) and International outdoor advertising (“International outdoor” or “International outdoor advertising”). Our CCME segment provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery and also includes our national syndication business. Our Americas outdoor and International outdoor segments provide outdoor advertising services in their respective geographic regions using various digital and traditional display types. Included in the “Other” category are our media representation business, Katz Media Group, as well as other general support services and initiatives, which are ancillary to our other businesses. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.

We manage our operating segments primarily focusing on their operating income, while Corporate expenses, Other operating income (expense), net, Interest expense, Gain on marketable securities, Equity in earnings of nonconsolidated affiliates, Other income (expense), net and Income tax benefit are managed on a total company basis and are, therefore, included only in our discussion of consolidated results.

Our CCME business utilizes several key measurements to analyze performance, including average minute rates and minutes sold. Our CCME revenue is derived primarily from selling advertising time, or spots, on our radio stations, with advertising contracts typically less than one year in duration. The programming formats of our radio stations are designed to reach audiences with targeted demographic characteristics that appeal to our advertisers. We also provide streaming content via the Internet, mobile and other digital platforms which reach national, regional and local audiences and derive revenues primarily from selling advertising time with advertising contracts similar to those used by our radio stations.

Management typically monitors our Americas outdoor and International outdoor advertising businesses by reviewing the average rates, average revenue per display, occupancy and inventory levels of each of our display types by market. Our outdoor advertising revenue is derived from selling advertising space on the displays we own or operate in key markets worldwide, consisting primarily of billboards, street furniture and transit displays. Part of our long-term strategy for our Americas outdoor and International outdoor advertising businesses is to pursue the technology of digital displays, including flat screens, LCDs and LEDs, as additions to traditional methods of displaying our clients’ advertisements. We are currently installing these technologies in certain markets.

Our advertising revenue for all of our segments is highly correlated to changes in gross domestic product (“GDP”) as advertising spending has historically trended in line with GDP, both domestically and internationally. Internationally, our results are impacted by fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we have operations.

Executive Summary

The key developments in our business for the three months ended June 30, 2014 are summarized below:

· Consolidated revenue increased $12.1 million including an increase of $10.5 million from movements in foreign exchange during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013.

· CCME revenue increased $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. Increased revenues from traffic and weather services, political revenues and digital revenues were partially offset by lower core terrestrial radio revenues.

· Americas outdoor revenue decreased $15.9 million including a decrease of $0.8 million from movements in foreign exchange during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013. Excluding foreign exchange impacts, revenue decreased $15.1 million over the comparable three-month period of 2013 primarily driven by lower spending by national accounts and lower airport revenues.

· Revenues in our Other category decreased $2.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period of 2013 as higher revenues from political advertising were more than offset by declines in non-political advertising revenue in our media representation business.

· During the second quarter of 2014, we spent $20.5 million on strategic revenue and efficiency initiatives to realign and improve our on-going business operations—an increase of $6.4 million compared to the second quarter of 2013.

In June of 2014, CCU Escrow Corporation merged into us and we assumed CCU Escrow Corporation’s obligations under the 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018.

Of the strategic revenue and efficiency costs of $20.5 million during the second quarter of 2014, $1.5 million are reported within direct operating expenses, $11.8 million are reported within SG&A and $7.2 million are reported within corporate expense. In the second quarter of 2013, such costs totaled $2.2 million, $5.6 million and $6.2 million, respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization decreased $5.7 million and $13.0 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013. The decreases were primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated since June 2013.

Other Operating Income (Expense), Net

Other operating expense of $1.6 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, related primarily to proceeds from the disposal of operating and fixed assets.

Other operating income of $1.1 million and $3.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, respectively, related primarily to proceeds from the disposal of operating and fixed assets.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $33.1 million and $78.7 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, respectively, compared to the same periods of 2013, primarily due to the weighted average cost of debt increasing as a result of debt refinancings that occurred since June 2013.

Equity in Earnings (Loss) of Nonconsolidated Affiliates

The loss of $13.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily related to the first quarter 2014 sale of our 50% interest in ARN, which included a loss on the sale of $2.4 million and $11.5 million of foreign exchange losses that were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income at the date of the sale.

Loss on Extinguishment of Debt

Our effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 36.5% and 31.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily impacted by the cancellation of indebtedness income recognized during the periods and our inability to record tax benefit on tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future years.

Share-Based Compensation Expense

We do not have any compensation plans under which we grant stock awards to employees. Our employees receive equity awards from CC Media Holdings, Inc.’s (“CCMH”) and CCOH’s equity incentive plans.

Share-based compensation payments are recorded in corporate expenses and were $2.8 million and $5.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $5.8 million and $11.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

As of June 30, 2014, there was $25.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vest based on service conditions. Based on the terms of the award agreements, this cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately three years. In addition, as of June 30, 2014, there was $19.4 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements that will vest based on market, performance and service conditions. This cost will be recognized when it becomes probable that the performance condition will be satisfied.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Cash Flows

The following discussion highlights our cash flow activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

(In thousands)		Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014		2013
Cash provided by (used for):
	Operating activities	$	(46,204)	$	(92,814)
	Investing activities	$	81,566	$	25,863
	Financing activities	$	55,502	$	(449,533)

Operating Activities

Our consolidated net loss, adjusted for $509.4 million of non-cash items resulted in negative cash flows of $94.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014. Our consolidated net loss, adjusted for $193.7 million of non-cash items, provided positive cash flows of $4.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash used for operating activities during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was $46.2 million compared to $92.8 million of cash used during the six months ended June 30, 2013. Cash paid for interest was $16.3 million lower in the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the prior year due to the timing of accrued interest payments from refinancing transactions, partially offset by an increase in the weighted average cost of debt.

Non-cash items affecting our net loss include depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, deferred taxes, gain on disposal of operating and fixed assets, gain on marketable securities, loss on extinguishment of debt, provision for doubtful accounts,

share-based compensation, equity in earnings (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliates, amortization of deferred financing charges and note discounts, net and other reconciling items, net as presented on the face of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

Investing Activities

Cash provided by investing activities of $81.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily reflected proceeds of $221.0 million from the sale of our 50% interest in ARN, partially offset by capital expenditures of $141.4 million. We spent $20.7 million for capital expenditures in our CCME segment primarily related to leasehold improvements and equipment, $29.4 million in our Americas outdoor segment primarily related to the construction of new advertising structures such as digital displays, $61.4 million in our International outdoor segment primarily related to billboard and street furniture advertising structures, $2.9 million in our Other category, and $27.0 million by Corporate primarily related to equipment and software.

Cash provided by investing activities of $25.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 reflected proceeds from the sale of our shares of Sirius XM Radio, Inc. of $135.5 million as well as our capital expenditures of $132.7 million. We spent $36.2 million for capital expenditures in our CCME segment primarily related to leasehold improvements, $29.6 million in our Americas outdoor segment primarily related to the construction of new advertising structures such as digital displays, $48.7 million in our International outdoor segment primarily related to billboards and street furniture and the renewal of existing contracts, $4.7 million in our Other category related to our national representation business, and $13.5 million by Corporate primarily related to equipment and software. Other cash provided by investing activities were $26.8 million of proceeds from sales of other operating and fixed assets.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities of $55.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2014 primarily reflected proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, partially offset by payments on credit facilities and long-term debt. We received cash proceeds from the issuance by CCU Escrow Corporation of 10% Senior Notes due 2018 ($850.0 million in aggregate principal amount) and the sale by a subsidiary of ours of 14% Senior Notes due 2021 to private purchasers ($227.0 million in aggregate principal amount). This was partially offset by the redemption of the full $567.1 million principal amount outstanding of our 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 and the full $241.0 million principal amount outstanding of our 4.9% Senior Notes due 2015, as well as repayment of the full $247.0 million principal amount outstanding under our receivables-based credit facility.

Cash used for financing activities of $449.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2013 primarily reflected payments on long-term debt. We repaid our 5.75% senior notes at maturity for $312.1 million (net of $187.9 million principal amount held by and repaid to a subsidiary of ours) using cash on hand. We prepaid $846.9 million outstanding under our Term Loan A under our senior secured credit facilities using the proceeds from the issuance of our 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes, borrowings under our receivables based credit facility, and cash on hand. Other cash used for financing activities included payments to repurchase noncontrolling interests of $61.1 million.

Anticipated Cash Requirements

Our primary source of liquidity is cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our domestic receivables-based credit facility, subject to certain limitations contained in our material financing agreements. A significant amount of our cash requirements are for debt service obligations. We anticipate cash interest requirements of approximately $791 million for the remainder of 2014. At June 30, 2014, we had debt maturities totaling $18.5 million, $6.4 million, and $2.4 billion in 2014, 2015, and 2016, respectively. At June 30, 2014, we had $798.4 million of cash on our balance sheet including $192.3 million in consolidated cash balances held outside the U.S. by our subsidiaries, all of which is readily convertible into other foreign currencies including the U.S. dollar. We disclose in Item 8 of our Form 10-K within Note 1, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, that our policy is to permanently reinvest the earnings of our non-U.S. subsidiaries as these earnings are generally redeployed in those jurisdictions for operating needs and continued functioning of their businesses. We have the ability and intent to indefinitely reinvest the undistributed earnings of consolidated subsidiaries based outside of the United States. If any excess cash held by our foreign subsidiaries were needed to fund operations in the United States, we could presently repatriate available funds without a requirement to accrue or pay U.S. taxes. This is a result of significant current and historic deficits in our foreign earnings and profits, which gives us flexibility to make future cash distributions as non-taxable returns of capital.

Our ability to fund our working capital, capital expenditures, debt service and other obligations, and to comply with the financial covenants under our financing agreements, depends on our future operating performance and cash from operations and our ability to generate cash from other liquidity-generating transactions, which are in turn subject to prevailing economic conditions and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. We are currently exploring, and expect to continue to explore, a variety of transactions to provide us with additional liquidity. We cannot assure you that we will enter into or consummate any such liquidity-generating transactions, or that such transactions will provide sufficient cash to satisfy our liquidity needs, and we cannot currently predict the impact that any such transaction, if consummated, would have on us. If our

future operating performance does not meet our expectations or our plans materially change in an adverse manner or prove to be materially inaccurate, we may not be able to refinance the debt as currently contemplated. Our ability to refinance the debt will depend on the condition of the capital markets and our financial condition at the time. There can be no assurance that refinancing alternatives will be available on terms acceptable to us or at all. Even if refinancing alternatives are available to us, we may not find them suitable or at comparable interest rates to the indebtedness being refinanced. In addition, the terms of our existing or future debt agreements may restrict us from securing a refinancing on terms that are available to us at that time. If we are unable to obtain sources of refinancing or generate sufficient cash through liquidity-generating transactions, we could face substantial liquidity problems, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and on our ability to meet our obligations.

Our financing transactions during 2013 increased our annual interest expense by $267 million and our financing transactions during 2014 increased our annual interest expense by an additional $47 million. Our increased interest payment obligations will reduce our liquidity over time, which could in turn reduce our financial flexibility and make us more vulnerable to changes in operating performance and economic downturns generally, and could negatively affect our ability to obtain additional financing in the future.

We frequently evaluate strategic opportunities both within and outside our existing lines of business. We expect from time to time to pursue acquisitions or dispositions, which could be material. We and our subsidiaries’ significant amount of indebtedness may limit our ability to pursue acquisitions. The terms of our existing or future debt agreements may also restrict our ability to engage in these transactions.

Our currently available sources of cash include cash on hand, cash flow from operations and borrowing capacity under our receivables based credit facility. We are also exploring various liquidity-generating transactions, and expect to continue to do so. Based on our current and anticipated levels of operations and conditions in our markets, we believe that cash on hand, cash flow from operations, borrowing capacity under our receivables based credit facility and cash from other liquidity-generating transactions will enable us to meet our working capital, capital expenditure, debt service and other funding requirements for at least the next 12 months. Significant assumptions underlie this belief, including, among other things, that we will continue to be successful in implementing our business strategy and that there will be no material adverse developments in our business, liquidity or capital requirements, and that we will be able to consummate liquidity-generating transactions in a timely manner and on terms acceptable to us. We cannot assure you that this will be the case. If our future cash flows from operations, financing sources and other liquidity-generating transactions are insufficient to pay our debt obligations as they mature or to fund our liquidity needs, we may be forced to reduce or delay our business activities and capital expenditures, sell material assets, seek additional capital or refinance our and our subsidiaries’ debt. We cannot assure you that we would be able to accomplish any of these alternatives on a timely basis or on satisfactory terms, if at all.

We were in compliance with the covenants contained in our material financing agreements as of June 30, 2014, including the maximum consolidated senior secured net debt to consolidated EBITDA limitation contained in our senior secured credit facilities. We believe our long-term plans, which include promoting spending in our industries and capitalizing on our diverse geographic and product opportunities, including the continued investment in our media and entertainment initiatives and continued deployment of digital displays, will enable us to continue generating cash flows from operations sufficient to meet our liquidity and funding requirements long term. However, our anticipated results are subject to significant uncertainty and there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain compliance with these covenants. In addition, our ability to comply with these covenants may be affected by events beyond our control, including prevailing economic, financial and industry conditions. The breach of any covenants set forth in our financing agreements would result in a default thereunder. An event of default would permit the lenders under a defaulted financing agreement to declare all indebtedness thereunder to be due and payable prior to maturity. Moreover, the lenders under the receivables based facility under our senior secured credit facilities would have the option to terminate their commitments to make further extensions of credit thereunder. If we are unable to repay our obligations under any secured credit facility, the lenders could proceed against any assets that were pledged to secure such facility. In addition, a default or acceleration under any of our material financing agreements could cause a default under other of our obligations that are subject to cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions. The threshold amount for a cross-default under the senior secured credit facilities is $100.0 million.

Sources of Capital

As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, we had the following debt outstanding, net of cash and cash equivalents:

⁽¹⁾The receivables based credit facility provides for borrowings of up to the lesser of $535 million (the revolving credit commitment) or the borrowing base amount, as defined under the receivables based facility, subject to certain limitations contained in our material financing agreements.

Our subsidiaries have from time to time repurchased certain of our debt obligations and outstanding equity securities of CCOH and CCMH, and may in the future, as part of various financing and investment strategies, purchase additional outstanding indebtedness of us or our subsidiaries or outstanding equity securities of CCOH or CCMH, in tender offers, open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. We or our subsidiaries may also sell certain assets, securities or properties and use the proceeds to reduce our indebtedness. These purchases or sales, if any, could have a material positive or negative impact on our liquidity available to repay outstanding debt obligations or on our consolidated results of operations. These transactions could also require or result in amendments to the agreements governing outstanding debt obligations or changes in our leverage or other financial ratios, which could have a material positive or negative impact on our ability to comply with the covenants contained in our debt agreements. These transactions, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material.

Senior Secured Credit Facilities

The senior secured credit facilities require us to comply on a quarterly basis with a financial covenant limiting the ratio of consolidated secured debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, to consolidated EBITDA (as defined by our senior secured credit facilities) for the preceding four quarters. Our secured debt consists of the senior secured credit facilities, the receivables-based credit facility, the priority guarantee notes and certain other secured subsidiary debt. As required by the definition of consolidated EBITDA in our senior secured credit facilities, our consolidated EBITDA for the preceding four quarters of $1.9 billion is calculated as operating income (loss) before depreciation, amortization, impairment charges and other operating income (expense), net plus share-based compensation and is further adjusted for the following items: (i) costs incurred in connection with the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting fees and other permitted activities; (ii) extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains or losses or expenses and severance; (iii) non-cash charges; (iv) cash received from nonconsolidated affiliates; and (v) various other items.

The following table reflects a reconciliation of consolidated EBITDA (as defined by our senior secured credit facilities) to operating income and net cash provided by operating activities for the four quarters ended June 30, 2014:

		Four Quarters Ended
(In Millions)		June 30, 2014
Consolidated EBITDA (as defined by our senior secured credit facilities)		$	1,904.7
Less adjustments to consolidated EBITDA (as defined by our senior secured credit facilities):
	Cost incurred in connection with the closure and/or consolidation of facilities, retention charges, consulting fees, and other permitted activities		(90.7)
	Extraordinary, non-recurring or unusual gains or losses or expenses and severance (as referenced in the definition of consolidated EBITDA in our senior secured credit facilities)		(27.7)
	Non-cash charges		(40.7)
	Cash received from nonconsolidated affiliates		(9.5)
	Other items		(17.7)

Change in assets and liabilities, net of assets acquired and liabilities assumed			159.9
Net cash provided by operating activities		$	259.5

The maximum ratio under this financial covenant is currently set at 9.00:1 and reduces to 8.75:1 for the four quarters ended December 31, 2014. At June 30, 2014, our ratio was 6.4:1.

Subsidiary Sale of Clear Channel Long-Term Debt

On February 14, 2014, CC Finco LLC (“CC Finco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ours, sold $227.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 issued by us to private purchasers in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This $227.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021, which was previously eliminated in consolidation because the notes were held by a subsidiary, is now reflected on our consolidated balance sheet. CC Finco contributed the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes due 2021 to us. We intend to use such proceeds to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire outstanding indebtedness from time to time and retire that indebtedness as it becomes due or upon its earlier repayment, repurchase or acquisition.

10.0% Senior Notes Issuance

On May 1, 2014, CCU Escrow Corporation issued $850.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2018 in a private offer. On June 6, 2014, CCU Escrow Corporation merged into us and we assumed CCU Escrow Corporation’s obligations under the Senior Notes due 2018. The Senior Notes due 2018 mature on January 15, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2014. The Senior Notes due 2018 are our senior unsecured obligations and are not guaranteed by any of our parent companies or any of our subsidiaries.

Senior Notes due 2021 Issuance

We intend to issue and sell approximately $222.2 million in aggregate principal amount of new Senior Notes due 2021 to CC Finco in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The new Senior Notes due 2021 will be issued as additional notes under the indenture governing our existing Senior Notes due 2021. On July 21, 2014, we issued a notice of redemption to redeem all of the outstanding $94.3 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and $127.9

million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 using proceeds of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021. The closing of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021 and redemption of the outstanding Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 are expected to occur on August 22, 2014.

Uses of Capital

Debt Repayments, Maturities and Other

During February 2014, we repaid all principal amounts outstanding under our receivables based credit facility, using cash on hand. This voluntary repayment did not reduce the commitments under this facility and we have the ability to redraw amounts under this facility at any time.

During March 2014, CC Finco repurchased, through open market purchases, a total of $61.9 million aggregate principal amount of notes, comprised of $52.9 million of our outstanding 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 and $9.0 million of our outstanding 4.9% Senior Notes due 2015, for a total purchase price of $63.1 million, including accrued interest. We cancelled these notes subsequent to the purchase.

During May 2014, we retired $130.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 held by CC Finco.

On June 6, 2014, using the proceeds from the issuance of the 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018, we redeemed $567.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (including $158.5 million principal amount of the notes held by a subsidiary of ours) and $241.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 4.9% Senior Notes due 2015.

On July 21, 2014, we issued a notice of redemption to redeem all of the outstanding $94.3 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and $127.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 and will be using proceeds of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021 to CC Finco to redeem the notes. The closing of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021 and redemption of the outstanding Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 are expected to occur on August 22, 2014.

Certain Relationships with the Sponsors

We are party to a management agreement with certain affiliates of Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (together, the “Sponsors”) and certain other parties pursuant to which such affiliates of the Sponsors will provide management and financial advisory services until 2018. These agreements require management fees to be paid to such affiliates of the Sponsors for such services at a rate not greater than $15.0 million per year, plus reimbursable expenses. For the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized management fees and reimbursable expenses of $3.7 million and $4.0 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, we recognized management fees and reimbursable expenses of $7.7 million and $8.1 million, respectively.

CCOH Dividend

In connection with the cash management arrangements for CCOH, we maintain an intercompany revolving promissory note payable by us to CCOH (the “Note”), which consists of the net activities resulting from day-to-day cash management services provided by us to CCOH. As of June 30, 2014, the balance of the Note was $950.2 million, all of which is payable on demand. The Note is eliminated in consolidation in our consolidated financial statements.

The Note previously was the subject of litigation. Pursuant to the terms of the settlement of that litigation, CCOH’s board of directors established a committee for the specific purpose of monitoring the Note. That committee has the non-exclusive authority, pursuant to the terms of its charter, to demand payments under the Note under certain specified circumstances tied to our liquidity or the amount outstanding under the Note as long as CCOH makes a simultaneous dividend equal to the amount so demanded. On July 21, 2014, in accordance with the terms of its charter, that committee (i) provided notice of its intent to demand $175 million outstanding under the Note on August 11, 2014 and (ii) declared a special cash dividend in aggregate amount equal to $175 million, the payment of which is conditioned upon the satisfaction by us of such demand, payable on August 11, 2014 to CCOH’s stockholders of record as of August 4, 2014. As the indirect parent of CCOH, we will be entitled to approximately 88% of the proceeds from such dividend through our wholly-owned subsidiaries. The remaining approximately 12% of the proceeds from the dividend, or approximately $21 million, will be paid to the public stockholders of CCOH. We will fund the net payment of this $21 million with cash on hand, which will reduce the amount of cash we have available to fund our working capital needs, debt service obligations and other obligations. Following satisfaction of the demand, the balance outstanding under the Note will be reduced by $175 million.

Commitments, Contingencies and Guarantees

We are currently involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued our estimate of the probable costs for resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. Please refer to “Legal Proceedings” in Item 1, Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Seasonality

Typically, our CCME, Americas outdoor and International outdoor segments experience their lowest financial performance in the first quarter of the calendar year, with International outdoor historically experiencing a loss from operations in that period. Our International outdoor segment typically experiences its strongest performance in the second and fourth quarters of the calendar year. We expect this trend to continue in the future.

MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risks arising from changes in market rates and prices, including movements in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and inflation.

Interest Rate Risk

A significant amount of our long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings will be affected by changes in interest rates. At June 30, 2014, approximately 39% of our aggregate principal amount of long-term debt bears interest at floating rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings and assuming a 30% change in LIBOR, it is estimated that our interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2014 would have changed by $3.8 million.

In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management may take actions to mitigate our exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, the preceding interest rate sensitivity analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We have operations in countries throughout the world. Foreign operations are measured in their local currencies. As a result, our financial results could be affected by factors such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates or weak economic conditions in the foreign markets in which we have operations. We believe we mitigate a small portion of our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations with a natural hedge through borrowings in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Our foreign operations reported net income of $37.7 million and $10.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014. We estimate a 10% increase in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies would have decreased our net income for the three months ended June 30, 2014 by $3.8 million and we estimate that our net income for the six months ended June 30, 2014 would have decreased by $1.0 million. A 10% decrease in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 would have increased our net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 by corresponding amounts.

This analysis does not consider the implications that such currency fluctuations could have on the overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment in the U.S. or the foreign countries or on the results of operations of these foreign entities.

Inflation

Inflation is a factor in the economies in which we do business and we continue to seek ways to mitigate its effect. Inflation has affected our performance in terms of higher costs for wages, salaries and equipment. Although the exact impact of inflation is indeterminable, we believe we have offset these higher costs by increasing the effective advertising rates of most of our broadcasting stations and outdoor display faces in our CCME, Americas outdoor, and International outdoor operations.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT CONCERNING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements made by us or on our behalf. Except for the historical information, this report contains various forward-looking statements which represent our expectations or beliefs concerning future events, including, without limitation, our future operating and financial performance, our ability to comply with the covenants in the agreements governing our indebtedness and the availability of capital and the terms thereof. Statements expressing expectations and projections with respect to future matters are forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. We caution that these forward-looking statements involve a number

of risks and uncertainties and are subject to many variables which could impact our future performance. These statements are made on the basis of management’s views and assumptions, as of the time the statements are made, regarding future events and performance. There can be no assurance, however, that management’s expectations will necessarily come to pass. Actual future events and performance may differ materially from the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements. We do not intend, nor do we undertake any duty, to update any forward-looking statements.

A wide range of factors could materially affect future developments and performance, including but not limited to:

· the impact of our substantial indebtedness, including the effect of our leverage on our financial position and earnings;

· our ability to generate sufficient cash from operations or other liquidity-generating transactions and our need to allocate significant amounts of our cash to make payments on our indebtedness, which in turn could reduce our financial flexibility and ability to fund other activities;

· risks associated with weak or uncertain global economic conditions and their impact on the capital markets;

· other general economic and political conditions in the United States and in other countries in which we currently do business, including those resulting from recessions, political events and acts or threats of terrorism or military conflicts;

· industry conditions, including competition;

· the level of expenditures on advertising;

· legislative or regulatory requirements;

· fluctuations in operating costs;

· technological changes and innovations;

· changes in labor conditions, including on-air talent, program hosts and management;

· capital expenditure requirements;

· risks of doing business in foreign countries;

· fluctuations in exchange rates and currency values;

· the outcome of pending and future litigation;

· taxes and tax disputes;

· changes in interest rates;

· shifts in population and other demographics;

· access to capital markets and borrowed indebtedness;

· our ability to implement our business strategies;

· the risk that we may not be able to integrate the operations of acquired businesses successfully;

· the risk that our cost savings initiatives may not be entirely successful or that any cost savings achieved from those initiatives may not persist; and

· certain other factors set forth in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This list of factors that may affect future performance and the accuracy of forward-looking statements is illustrative and is not intended to be exhaustive. Accordingly, all forward-looking statements should be evaluated with the understanding of their inherent uncertainty.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we have carried out an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act). Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2014 to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II -- OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We currently are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in our assumptions or the effectiveness of our strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Although we are involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of our litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.

Los Angeles Litigation

In 2008, Summit Media, LLC, one of our competitors, sued the City of Los Angeles (the “City”), Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS Outdoor in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. BS116611) challenging the validity of a settlement agreement that had been entered into in November 2006 among the parties. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had taken down existing billboards and converted 83 existing signs from static displays to digital displays pursuant to modernization permits issued through an administrative process of the City. The Los Angeles Superior Court ruled in January 2010 that the settlement agreement constituted an ultra vires act of the City and nullified its existence, but did not invalidate the modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS. All parties appealed the ruling by the Los Angeles Superior Court to the Court of Appeal for the State of California, Second Appellate District, Division 8. On December 10, 2012, the Court of Appeal issued an order upholding the Superior Court’s finding that the settlement agreement was ultra vires and remanding the case to the Superior Court for the purpose of invalidating the modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS for the digital displays that were the subject of the settlement agreement. On January 22, 2013, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. filed a petition with the California Supreme Court requesting its review of the matter, and the Supreme Court denied that petition on February 27, 2013. On April 12, 2013, the Los Angeles Superior Court invalidated 82 digital modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (77 of which displays were operating at the time of the ruling) and 13 issued to CBS and ordered that the companies turn off the electrical power to affected digital displays by the close of business on April 15, 2013. Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. has complied with the order. On April 16, 2013, the Court conducted further proceedings during which it held that it was not invalidating two additional digital modernization permits that Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had secured through a special zoning plan and confirmed that its April 12 order invalidated only digital modernization permits – no other types of permits the companies may have secured for the signs at issue. Summit Media, LLC filed a further motion requesting that the Court order the demolition of the 82 sign structures on which the now-invalidated digital signs operated, as well as the invalidation of several other permits for traditional signs allegedly issued under the settlement agreement. At a hearing held on November 22, 2013, the Court denied Summit Media, LLC’s demolition motion by allowing the 82 sign structures and their LED faces to remain intact, thus allowing Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. to seek permits under the existing City sign code to either wrap the LED faces with vinyl or convert the LED faces to traditional static signs. The Court further confirmed the invalidation of all permits issued under the settlement agreement. In anticipation of this order, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had removed six static billboard facings solely permitted under the settlement agreement. At a hearing held on January 21, 2014, the Court denied Summit Media, LLC’s motion for attorney’s fees on the basis that Summit Media, LLC had a substantial financial interest in the outcome of the litigation and, therefore, was not entitled to fees under California’s private attorney general statute. On March 12, 2014, Summit Media, LLC filed notices of appeal of the orders denying Summit Media, LLC’s fee petition and denying in part Summit Media, LLC’s demolition motion.
