Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Preparation of Interim Financial Statements Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, by Emmis Communications Corporation (“ECC”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “our,” “us,” “we,” “Emmis” or the “Company”). As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, Emmis believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report for Emmis filed on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2015. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Therefore, results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of Emmis, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Emmis at November 30, 2015, and the results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2015, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2015. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Potentially dilutive securities at November 30, 2014 and 2015 consisted of stock options, restricted stock awards and the 6.25% Series A non-cumulative convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). The following table sets forth the calculation of basic and diluted net income per share:
Shares excluded from the calculation as the effect of their conversion into shares of our common stock would be antidilutive were as follows:
Local Programming and Marketing Agreement Fees The Company from time to time enters into local programming and marketing agreements (“LMAs”) in connection with acquisitions or dispositions of radio stations, typically pending regulatory approval of transfer of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") licenses. Under the terms of these agreements, the acquiring company makes specified periodic payments to the holder of the FCC license in exchange for the right to program and sell advertising for a specified portion of the station’s inventory of broadcast time. The acquiring company records revenues and expenses associated with the portion of the station’s inventory of broadcast time it manages. Nevertheless, as the holder of the FCC license, the owner-operator retains control and responsibility for the operation of the station, including responsibility over all programming broadcast on the station. On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into an LMA in connection with its agreement to purchase WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM in New York City from YMF Media New York LLC and YMF Media New York License LLC (collectively, "YMF"). The LMA, which commenced on March 1, 2014, gave Emmis the right to program and sell advertising for the two New York stations. Emmis paid YMF $1.3 million per month and reimbursed YMF for certain monthly expenses through the first closing of the acquisition, which occurred on June 10, 2014. After the first closing, the LMA continued in effect until the second and final closing of the transaction, which occurred on February 13, 2015 at a reduced monthly fee of approximately $0.7 million. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2014, Emmis recorded $4.2 million of LMA fee expense. On April 26, 2012, Emmis entered into an LMA with a subsidiary of Disney Enterprises, Inc. for 98.7FM in New York (formerly WRKS-FM and now WEPN-FM, hereinafter referred to as “98.7FM”). The LMA for this station started on April 30, 2012 and will continue until August 31, 2024. Emmis retains ownership and control of the station, including the related FCC license during the term of the LMA and is scheduled to receive an annual fee until the LMA’s termination. LMA fee revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the LMA as a component of net revenues in our accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. The following table summarizes certain operating results of 98.7FM for all periods presented. Net revenues for 98.7FM are solely related to LMA fees. 98.7FM is a part of our radio segment.
Assets and liabilities of 98.7FM as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015 were as follows:
Restricted Cash The Company's restricted cash, included in current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $2.7 million and $2.0 million as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015, respectively. The terms of our 98.7FM non-recourse notes and related agreements discussed in Note 4 restrict a portion of our cash on deposit for specific operating and financing purposes. Restricted cash related to the 98.7FM non-recourse notes and related agreements totaled $1.5 million and $1.6 million as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015, respectively. In connection with the Company's agreement with Sprint/United Management Company (“Sprint”), the Company collects cash from other participating companies in the radio industry and remits cash collected to Sprint. The entirety of cash collected but not yet remitted to Sprint classified as restricted cash as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015 was $1.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. The FASB deferred implementation of this guidance by one year with the issuance of Accounting Standards Update 2015-14. As such, this guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 28, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2017, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Entities that have historically presented debt issuance costs as an asset, related to a recognized debt liability, will be required to present those costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This presentation will result in debt issuance costs being presented the same way debt discounts have historically been handled. The ASU does not change the recognition, measurement, or subsequent measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2016 and may be adopted early. The Company expects this new guidance will reduce total assets and total long-term debt on its consolidated balance sheets by amounts classified as deferred debt issuance costs, but does not expect this update to have any other effect on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This update provides guidance as to when a company using a cloud computing service that includes a software license should capitalize and depreciate the software license. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, including the cumulative effect of the change in the provisional amount as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2016. The Company does not anticipate this guidance will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements as the purchase price allocations of the Company's recent business combinations have been finalized. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The Company adopted this update as of September 1, 2015. Adoption of this update did not have any effect on the Company's financial position as the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities classified as current in any period presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. |

Share Based Payments | Share Based Payments The amounts recorded as share based compensation expense consist of stock option and restricted stock grants, common stock issued to employees and directors in lieu of cash payments, and Preferred Stock contributed to the 2012 Retention Plan. Stock Option Awards The Company has granted options to purchase its common stock to employees and directors of the Company under various stock option plans at no less than the fair market value of the underlying stock on the date of grant. These options are granted for a term not exceeding 10 years and are forfeited, except in certain circumstances, in the event the employee or director terminates his or her employment or relationship with the Company. Generally, these options either vest annually over 3 years (one-third each year for 3 years), or cliff vest at the end of 3 years. The Company issues new shares upon the exercise of stock options. The fair value of each option awarded is estimated on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model and expensed on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercises and employee terminations within the valuation model. The Company includes estimated forfeitures in its compensation cost and updates the estimated forfeiture rate through the final vesting date of awards. The risk-free interest rate for periods within the life of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The following assumptions were used to calculate the fair value of the Company’s options on the date of grant during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2015:
The following table presents a summary of the Company’s stock options outstanding at November 30, 2015, and stock option activity during the nine months ended November 30, 2015 (“Price” reflects the weighted average exercise price per share; "Aggregate Intrinsic Value" dollars in thousands):
The weighted average per share grant date fair value of options granted during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2015, was $1.64 and $1.01, respectively. A summary of the Company’s nonvested options at November 30, 2015, and changes during the nine months ended November 30, 2015, is presented below:
There were 2.2 million shares available for future grants under the Company’s various equity plans at November 30, 2015. The vesting dates of outstanding options at November 30, 2015 range from February 2016 to July 2018, and expiration dates range from March 2016 to August 2025. Restricted Stock Awards The Company grants restricted stock awards to directors annually, and periodically grants restricted stock to employees in connection with employment agreements. Awards to directors are granted on the date of our annual meeting of shareholders and vest on the earlier of (i) the completion of the director’s 3-year term or (ii) the third anniversary of the date of grant. Restricted stock award grants are granted out of the Company’s 2015 Equity Compensation Plan. The Company may also award, out of the Company’s 2015 Equity Compensation Plan, stock to settle certain bonuses and other compensation that otherwise would be paid in cash. Any restrictions on these shares may be immediately lapsed on the grant date. The following table presents a summary of the Company’s restricted stock grants outstanding at November 30, 2015, and restricted stock activity during the nine months ended November 30, 2015 (“Price” reflects the weighted average share price at the date of grant):
The total grant date fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2015, was $3.8 million and $2.8 million, respectively. Preferred Stock and the 2012 Retention Plan On April 2, 2012, the shareholders of the Company approved the 2012 Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the “Trust” or the “2012 Retention Plan”) at a special meeting of shareholders. The Company contributed 400,000 shares of its Preferred Stock to the Trust in connection with the approval of the 2012 Retention Plan. Awards granted under the 2012 Retention Plan entitled the participants to receive a distribution two years from the date of shareholder approval of the plan, provided the participant was an employee upon inception of the plan and remained an employee through the vesting date. The Trustee of the plan was Jeffrey H. Smulyan, our Chairman of the Board, President and Chief Executive Officer. On March 5, 2014, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the exercise of the Company's repurchase option under the Voting and Transfer Restriction Agreement with the Trustee of the 2012 Retention Plan and Trust. Pursuant to the exercise of that option, the Company repurchased 400,000 shares of Preferred Stock from the trustee in exchange for 975,848 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock. On April 2, 2014, 975,848 shares of Class A Common Stock were distributed to employees who met the vesting requirements of the plan. The Company recognized approximately $0.4 million of compensation expense related to the 2012 Retention Plan during the nine months ended November 30, 2014. Recognized Non-Cash Compensation Expense The following table summarizes stock-based compensation expense and related tax benefits recognized by the Company during the three months and nine months ended November 30, 2014 and 2015:
As of November 30, 2015, there was $2.6 million of unrecognized compensation cost, net of estimated forfeitures, related to nonvested share-based compensation arrangements. The cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.8 years. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Intangible Assets and Goodwill | Intangible Assets and Goodwill Valuation of Indefinite-lived Broadcasting Licenses In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, the Company’s Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses are considered indefinite-lived intangibles. These assets, which the Company determined were its only indefinite-lived intangibles, are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment at least annually as discussed below. The carrying amounts of the Company’s FCC licenses were $210.1 million and $210.6 million as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015. Pursuant to Emmis’ accounting policy, stations in a geographic market cluster are considered a single unit of accounting, provided that they are not being operated under an LMA with another broadcaster. The Company generally performs its annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangibles as of December 1 of each year. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company will perform an interim impairment test. During the quarter ended November 30, 2015, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged; hence, no interim impairment testing was warranted. These impairment tests may result in impairment charges in future periods. Fair value of our FCC licenses is estimated to be the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine the fair value of our FCC licenses, the Company uses an income valuation method when it performs its impairment tests. Under this method, the Company projects cash flows that would be generated by each of its units of accounting assuming the unit of accounting was commencing operations in its respective market at the beginning of the valuation period. This cash flow stream is discounted to arrive at a value for the FCC license. The Company assumes the competitive situation that exists in each market remains unchanged, with the exception that its unit of accounting commenced operations at the beginning of the valuation period. In doing so, the Company extracts the value of going concern and any other assets acquired, and strictly values the FCC license. Major assumptions involved in this analysis include market revenue, market revenue growth rates, unit of accounting audience share, unit of accounting revenue share and discount rate. Each of these assumptions may change in the future based upon changes in general economic conditions, audience behavior, consummated transactions, and numerous other variables that may be beyond our control. When evaluating our radio broadcasting licenses for impairment, the testing is performed at the unit of accounting level as determined by ASC Topic 350-30-35. In our case, radio stations in a geographic market cluster are considered a single unit of accounting, provided that they are not being operated under an LMA. Valuation of Goodwill ASC Topic 350-20-35 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company conducts the two-step impairment test on December 1 of each fiscal year, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period. During the quarter ended November 30, 2015, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged; hence, no interim impairment testing was warranted. When assessing its goodwill for impairment, the Company uses an enterprise valuation approach to determine the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units (radio stations grouped by market and magazines on an individual basis). Management determines enterprise value for each of its reporting units by multiplying the two-year average station operating income generated by each reporting unit (current year based on actual results and the next year based on budgeted results) by an estimated market multiple. The Company uses a blended station operating income trading multiple of publicly traded radio operators as a benchmark for the multiple it applies to its radio reporting units. There are no publicly traded publishing companies that are focused predominantly on city and regional magazines as is our publishing segment. Therefore, the market multiple used as a benchmark for our publishing reporting units has been based on recently completed transactions within the city and regional magazine industry or analyst reports that include valuations of magazine divisions within publicly traded media conglomerates. Management believes this methodology for valuing radio and publishing properties is a common approach and believes that the multiples used in the valuation are reasonable given our peer comparisons and recent market transactions. To corroborate the step-one reporting unit fair values determined using the market approach described above, management also uses an income approach, which is a discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. This enterprise valuation is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit for the first step of the goodwill impairment test. If the reporting unit exhibits impairment, the Company proceeds to the second step of the goodwill impairment test. For its step-two testing, the enterprise value is allocated among the tangible assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets (FCC licenses valued using a direct-method valuation approach) and unrecognized intangible assets, such as customer lists, with the residual amount representing the implied fair value of the goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge in the statement of operations. The following table summarizes the Company's goodwill by segment as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015.
Definite-lived intangibles The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of patents, customer lists, trademarks and a syndicated programming contract, all of which are amortized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. The following table presents the weighted-average useful life, gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of definite-lived intangible assets at February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015:
Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangibles for the three-month and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2014 was $0.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. Total amortization expense from definite-lived intangibles for the three-month and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2015 was $0.4 million and $1.1 million, respectively. The following table presents the Company's estimate of amortization expense for each of the five succeeding fiscal years for definite-lived intangibles:

Long-term Debt | Long-term Debt Long-term debt was comprised of the following at February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015:
(1) The face value of Digonex non-recourse debt is $6.2 million 2014 Credit Agreement On June 10, 2014, Emmis entered into the 2014 Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, EOC, as borrower (the “Borrower”), certain other subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”), the lenders party thereto, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and Fifth Third Bank, as syndication agent. The 2014 Credit Agreement includes a senior secured term loan facility (the “Term Loan”) of $185.0 million and a senior secured revolving credit facility of $20.0 million, and contains provisions for an uncommitted increase of up to $20.0 million principal amount (plus additional amounts so long as a pro forma total net senior secured leverage ratio condition is met) of the revolving credit facility and/or the Term Loan subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The revolving credit facility includes a sub-facility for the issuance of up to $5.0 million of letters of credit. Pursuant to the 2014 Credit Agreement, the Borrower borrowed $185.0 million of the Term Loan on June 10, 2014; $109.0 million was disbursed to the Borrower (the “Initial Proceeds”) and the remaining $76.0 million was funded into escrow (the “Subsequent Acquisition Proceeds”). The Initial Proceeds, coupled with $13.0 million of revolving credit facility borrowings, were used by the Borrower on June 10, 2014 to repay all amounts outstanding under the 2012 Credit Agreement, to make a $55.0 million initial payment associated with our acquisition of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM, and to pay fees and expenses. The Subsequent Acquisition Proceeds were used to make the final $76.0 million payment related to the acquisition of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM on February 13, 2015. The Term Loan is due not later than June 10, 2021 and initially amortized in an amount equal to 1% per annum (subsequently amended, see below) of the original principal amount of the Term Loan, payable in quarterly installments commencing April 1, 2015, with the balance payable on the maturity date. The revolving credit facility expires not later than June 10, 2019. An unused commitment fee of 50 basis points per annum will be payable quarterly on the average unused amount of the revolving credit facility. Prior to the amendments to the 2014 Credit Agreement discussed below, the Term Loan and amounts borrowed under the revolving credit facility bore interest, at the Borrower’s option, at either (i) the Alternate Base Rate (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) (but not less than 2.00%) plus 3.75% or (ii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) (but not less than 1.00%) plus 4.75%. Approximately $1.0 million of transaction fees related to the 2014 Credit Agreement were capitalized and are being amortized over the life of the 2014 Credit Agreement. These deferred debt costs are included in other assets, net in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The 2014 Credit Agreement is carried on our condensed consolidated balance sheets net of an original issue discount. The original issue discount, which was $6.1 million as of the issuance of the debt on June 10, 2014 and $6.6 million as of November 30, 2015 (inclusive of the $1.0 million and $1.1 million of transaction fees associated with our First Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement and Second Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement, respectively, discussed below), is being amortized as additional interest expense over the life of the 2014 Credit Agreement. The obligations under the 2014 Credit Agreement are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in substantially all of the assets of the Company, the Borrower and the Subsidiary Guarantors. On November 7, 2014, Emmis entered into the First Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement. The First Amendment (i) increased the maximum Total Leverage Ratio to 6.00:1.00 for the period February 28, 2015 through February 29, 2016, (ii) adjusted the definition of Consolidated EBITDA to exclude during the term of the 2014 Credit Agreement up to $5 million in severance and/or contract termination expenses and up to $2.5 million in losses attributable to the reformatting of the Company’s radio stations, (iii) extended the requirement for the Borrower to pay a 1.00% fee on certain prepayments of the Term Loan to November 7, 2015, (iv) increased the Applicable Margin by 0.25% for at least six months from the date of the First Amendment and until the Total Leverage Ratio is less than 5.00:1.00, and (v) made certain technical adjustments to the definition of Consolidated Excess Cash Flow and to address the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act. Emmis paid a total of approximately $1.0 million of transaction fees to the Lenders that consented to the First Amendment, which were recorded as original issue discount and are being amortized over the remaining life of the 2014 Credit Agreement. On April 30, 2015, Emmis entered into the Second Amendment to the 2014 Credit Agreement. The Second Amendment (i) increases the maximum Total Leverage Ratio to (A) 6.75:1.00 during the period from May 31, 2015 through February 29, 2016, (B) 6.50:1.00 for the quarter ended May 31, 2016, (C) 6.25:1.00 for the quarter ended August 31, 2016, (D) 6.00:1.00 for the quarter ended November 30, 2016, and (E) 5.75:1.00 for the quarter ended February 28, 2017, after which it reverts to the original ratio of 4.00:1.00 for the quarters ended May 31, 2017 and thereafter, (ii) requires Emmis to pay a 2.00% fee on certain prepayments of the Term Loan prior to the first anniversary of the Second Amendment and requires Emmis to pay a 1.00% fee on certain prepayments of the Term Loan from the first anniversary of the Second Amendment until the second anniversary of the Second Amendment, (iii) increases the Applicable Margin throughout the remainder of the term of the Credit Agreement to 5.00% for ABR Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and 6.00% for Eurodollar Loans (as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement), and (iv) increases the amortization to 0.50% per calendar quarter through January 1, 2016 and to 1.25% per calendar quarter thereafter commencing April 1, 2016. Emmis paid a total of approximately $1.1 million of transaction fees to the Lenders that consented to the Second Amendment, which were recorded as original issue discount and are being amortized over the remaining life of the 2014 Credit Agreement. We were in compliance with all financial and non-financial covenants as of November 30, 2015. Our Total Leverage Ratio and Interest Coverage Ratio (each as defined in the 2014 Credit Agreement) requirements and actual amounts as of November 30, 2015 were as follows:
98.7FM Non-recourse Debt On May 30, 2012, the Company, through wholly-owned, newly-created subsidiaries, issued $82.2 million of non-recourse notes. Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America, through a participation agreement with Wells Fargo Bank Northwest, National Association, is entitled to receive payments made on the notes. The notes are obligations only of the newly-created subsidiaries, are non-recourse to the rest of the Company and its subsidiaries, and are secured by the assets of the newly-created subsidiaries, including the payments made to the newly-created subsidiary related to the 98.7FM LMA, which are guaranteed by Disney Enterprises, Inc. The notes bear interest at 4.1%. Digonex Non-recourse Debt Digonex non-recourse notes payable consist of notes payable issued by Digonex, which were recorded at fair value on June 16, 2014, the date that Emmis acquired a controlling interest in Digonex. The notes payable, some of which are secured by the assets of Digonex, are non-recourse to the rest of the Company and its subsidiaries. The notes payable mature on December 31, 2017 and accrue interest at 5.0% per annum. Interest is due at maturity. The face value of the notes payable is $6.2 million. The Company is accreting the difference between this face value and the original $3.6 million fair value of the notes payable recorded in the acquisition of its controlling interest of the business as interest expense over the remaining term of the notes payable. Based on amounts outstanding at November 30, 2015, mandatory principal payments of long-term debt for the next five years and thereafter are summarized below:

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements As defined in ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015. The financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.
Available for sale securities — Emmis’ available for sale securities is an investment in preferred stock of a private company that is not traded in active markets and is included in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment is recorded at fair value, which was generally estimated using significant unobservable market parameters, resulting in a level 3 categorization. The carrying value of our preferred stock investment was determined by using implied valuations of recent rounds of financing and by other corroborating evidence, which may include the application of various valuation methodologies including option-pricing and discounted cash flow based models. The following table shows a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs:
Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under circumstances and events that include those described in Note 3, Intangible Assets and Goodwill, and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value (see Note 3 for more discussion). Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using the best available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary, however, in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange, or the value that ultimately will be realized upon maturity or disposition. The use of different market assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments: - Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these assets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. - 2014 Credit Agreement debt: As of November 30, 2015, the fair value and carrying value, excluding original issue discount, of the Company's 2014 Credit Agreement debt was $164.2 million and $188.7 million, respectively. The Company's estimate of fair value was based on quoted prices of this instrument and is considered a Level 2 measurement. - Other long-term debt: The Company’s 98.7FM non-recourse debt and Digonex non-recourse debt is not actively traded and is considered a level 3 measurement. The Company believes the current carrying value of its other long-term debt approximates its fair value. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Regulatory, Legal and Other Matters | Regulatory, Legal and Other Matters Emmis is a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the company, however, there are no legal proceedings pending against the company that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on the company. Emmis and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a lawsuit filed April 16, 2012 by certain holders of Preferred Stock (the “Lock-Up Group”) in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Indiana entitled Corre Opportunities Fund, LP, et al. v. Emmis Communications Corporation, et al (the "Lawsuit"). The plaintiffs alleged, among other things, that Emmis and the other defendants violated various provisions of the federal securities laws and breached fiduciary duties in connection with Emmis’ entry into total return swap agreements and voting agreements with certain holders of Emmis Preferred Stock, as well as by issuing shares of Preferred Stock to Emmis’ 2012 Retention Plan and Trust (the “Trust”) and entering into a voting agreement with the trustee of the Trust. The plaintiffs also alleged that Emmis violated certain provisions of Indiana corporate law by directing the voting of the shares of Preferred Stock subject to the total return swap agreements (the “Swap Shares”) and the shares of Preferred Stock held by the Trust (the “Trust Shares”) in favor of certain amendments to Emmis’ Articles of Incorporation. Emmis filed an answer denying the material allegations of the complaint, and filed a counterclaim seeking a declaratory judgment that Emmis could legally direct the voting of the Swap Shares and the Trust Shares in favor of the proposed amendments. On August 31, 2012, the U.S. District Court denied the plaintiffs' request for a preliminary injunction. Plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint seeking monetary damages and dismissing all claims against the individual officer and director defendants. On February 28, 2014, the U.S. District Court issued a ruling in favor of Emmis on all counts. In March 2014, the Plaintiffs filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit an appeal of the U.S. District Court's decision. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit heard oral arguments in this case on December 5, 2014, and on July 2, 2015, unanimously affirmed the U.S. District Court's ruling. On December 4, 2015, Emmis entered into a settlement agreement with the Lock-Up Group to settle any and all remaining issues with respect to the Lawsuit described above. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, (i) the Company is withdrawing its bill of costs with respect to certain reimbursable expenses in the Lawsuit; (ii) the Company agreed to submit to a vote of its shareholders, and the Lock-Up Group and Jeffrey H. Smulyan agreed to vote in favor of, an amendment to Exhibit A to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation (the “Terms”) to amend the terms of the Company’s Series A Non-Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Stock”) to (A) change the voluntary conversion ratio to permit holders of Preferred Stock to convert their shares of Preferred Stock into Class A Common Stock at a ratio of 2.80 shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock, and (B) provide that all shares of Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Class A Common Stock at a ratio of 2.80 shares of Class A Common Stock for each share of Preferred Stock on the fifth business day after the delisting of the Preferred Stock by The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC ("Nasdaq"); and (iii) both the Company and the Lock-Up Group will release each other from claims related to the Lawsuit. Under the current Terms, the Preferred Stock is voluntarily convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock at a ratio of 2.44 shares of Class A Common Stock for each class of Preferred Stock, and there is no provision for mandatory conversion. Additionally, the Preferred Stock is subject to a deficiency notice from Nasdaq and is expected to be delisted after February 17, 2016 assuming the preferred stock continues to not meet the Nasdaq standards for continued listing (see Note 10 for more discussion). The value associated with the increase to the conversion ratio will be accounted for upon the effective date of the amendment to the Terms, which is expected to occur during the quarter ending February 29, 2016, and is expected to result in a decrease of approximately $0.2 million to earnings available to common shareholders. On July 7, 2014, individuals who had been seeking to overturn the FCC’s approval of the transfer of the broadcast licenses for WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM from entities associated with Inner City Broadcasting to YMF (the entities that subsequently sold the two stations to Emmis) filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit a Notice of Appeal of the FCC’s approval of the transfer. Additionally, in March 2015, an individual filed a lawsuit in the Federal District Court of New York challenging the transfer of the assets of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM from Inner City to YMF, and claimed that Emmis had exerted undue influence in securing the FCC's consent to the transfer of the FCC licenses of WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM from YMF to Emmis. Based upon the facts alleged in the cases and the extensive precedent of courts not overturning FCC approvals of transfers of broadcast licenses except in exceedingly rare circumstances, Emmis believes the appeal and the claims in the lawsuit are without merit. Certain groups and individuals have challenged an application for renewal of one of Company's FCC licenses. This challenge is currently pending before the FCC. Emmis does not expect the challenge to result in the denial of our license renewal. |

Income Taxes [Abstract] | |
Income Tax Disclosure [Text Block] | Income Taxes Our effective income tax rate was 47% for the nine months ended November 30, 2014. Our effective tax rate was higher than our estimated annual effective tax rate of 34% as a discrete expense was recorded during the period. This expense related to the effect of increasing our statutory rate by 1% on existing deferred tax liabilities due to changes in state tax laws and changes in our income apportionments as a result of the WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM LMA and related acquisition. This discrete expense is partially offset during the nine months ended November 30, 2014 by a discrete benefit related to the loss on debt extinguishment the Company recorded during the period. Our effective income tax rate was 17% for the nine months ended November 30, 2015. The Company recorded a valuation allowance for its net deferred tax assets generated during the period, including its net operating loss carryforwards, but excluding deferred tax liabilities related to indefinite-lived intangibles. |

Significant Events [Abstract] | |
Other Significant Transactions [Text Block] | Other Significant Events Emmis made additional $1.0 million investments in Digonex Technologies, Inc. in the form of convertible debt on both April 21, 2015 and September 30, 2015. Subsequent to its investment in September 2015, Emmis owns rights that are convertible into approximately 75% of the common equity of Digonex. As Emmis controls and consolidates Digonex, this investment is eliminated in consolidation. On July 27, 2015, NextRadio LLC entered into an agreement with AT&T whereby AT&T agreed to include FM chip activation in its Android device specifications to wireless device manufacturers. In exchange, AT&T will receive a share of certain revenue generated by the NextRadio application. On August 21, 2015, the Company received a notification from the Listing Qualifications Department of Nasdaq indicating that the Company's Series A preferred stock was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5450(a)(2) (the “Minimum Market Value Rule”) because the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares (as defined by Nasdaq, "MVPHS") of our Preferred Stock was under $1 million. In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until February 17, 2016, to regain compliance with the requirements under the Minimum Market Value Rule. If, at any time before that date the MVPHS of the Series A preferred stock equals or exceeds $1 million (based on closing bid price) for a minimum of ten consecutive days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Minimum Market Value Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Market Value Rule prior to the end of the 180 day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its Preferred Stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Nasdaq rules would then permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company does not expect to achieve compliance with the Minimum Market Value Rule and does not intend to appeal a delisting determination with respect to its Preferred Stock. |

In accordance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(A), the Company has 180 calendar days, or until June 6, 2016, to regain compliance with the requirements under the Rule. If, at any time before that date the bid price of the Company's Class A common stock closes at $1.00 per share or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days, Nasdaq will notify the Company that it has achieved compliance with the Rule. If the Company does not regain compliance with the Minimum Bid Price Rule prior to the end of the 180 day period, Nasdaq will notify the Company that its Class A common stock will be delisted from the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Nasdaq rules would then permit the Company to appeal any delisting determination by the Nasdaq staff to a Listing Qualifications Panel. The Company intends to actively evaluate and monitor the bid price for its Class A common stock between now and June 6, 2016, and consider implementation of a reverse stock split if its Class A common stock does not trade at a level that regains compliance. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Preparation of Interim Financial Statements | Preparation of Interim Financial Statements Pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the condensed consolidated interim financial statements included herein have been prepared, without audit, by Emmis Communications Corporation (“ECC”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “our,” “us,” “we,” “Emmis” or the “Company”). As permitted under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations; however, Emmis believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Annual Report for Emmis filed on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 2015. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations. Therefore, results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. In the opinion of Emmis, the accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements contain all material adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, except as otherwise noted) necessary to present fairly the consolidated financial position of Emmis at November 30, 2015, and the results of its operations for the three-month and nine-month periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2015, and cash flows for the nine-month periods ended November 30, 2014 and 2015. There have been no changes to our significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 28, 2015 that have had a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements and related notes. |
Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share | Basic and Diluted Net Income Per Common Share Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted. Potentially dilutive securities at November 30, 2014 and 2015 consisted of stock options, restricted stock awards and the 6.25% Series A non-cumulative convertible preferred stock (the “Preferred Stock”). |
Local Programming and Marketing Agreement Fees | Local Programming and Marketing Agreement Fees The Company from time to time enters into local programming and marketing agreements (“LMAs”) in connection with acquisitions or dispositions of radio stations, typically pending regulatory approval of transfer of the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") licenses. Under the terms of these agreements, the acquiring company makes specified periodic payments to the holder of the FCC license in exchange for the right to program and sell advertising for a specified portion of the station’s inventory of broadcast time. The acquiring company records revenues and expenses associated with the portion of the station’s inventory of broadcast time it manages. Nevertheless, as the holder of the FCC license, the owner-operator retains control and responsibility for the operation of the station, including responsibility over all programming broadcast on the station. On February 11, 2014, the Company entered into an LMA in connection with its agreement to purchase WBLS-FM and WLIB-AM in New York City from YMF Media New York LLC and YMF Media New York License LLC (collectively, "YMF"). The LMA, which commenced on March 1, 2014, gave Emmis the right to program and sell advertising for the two New York stations. Emmis paid YMF $1.3 million per month and reimbursed YMF for certain monthly expenses through the first closing of the acquisition, which occurred on June 10, 2014. After the first closing, the LMA continued in effect until the second and final closing of the transaction, which occurred on February 13, 2015 at a reduced monthly fee of approximately $0.7 million. During the nine-month period ended November 30, 2014, Emmis recorded $4.2 million of LMA fee expense. On April 26, 2012, Emmis entered into an LMA with a subsidiary of Disney Enterprises, Inc. for 98.7FM in New York (formerly WRKS-FM and now WEPN-FM, hereinafter referred to as “98.7FM”). The LMA for this station started on April 30, 2012 and will continue until August 31, 2024. Emmis retains ownership and control of the station, including the related FCC license during the term of the LMA and is scheduled to receive an annual fee until the LMA’s termination. LMA fee revenue is recorded on a straight-line basis over the term of the LMA |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company's restricted cash, included in current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaled $2.7 million and $2.0 million as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015, respectively. The terms of our 98.7FM non-recourse notes and related agreements discussed in Note 4 restrict a portion of our cash on deposit for specific operating and financing purposes. Restricted cash related to the 98.7FM non-recourse notes and related agreements totaled $1.5 million and $1.6 million as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015, respectively. In connection with the Company's agreement with Sprint/United Management Company (“Sprint”), the Company collects cash from other participating companies in the radio industry and remits cash collected to Sprint. The entirety of cash collected but not yet remitted to Sprint classified as restricted cash as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015 was $1.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively. |
Valuation of Indefinite-lived Broadcasting Licenses | Valuation of Indefinite-lived Broadcasting Licenses In accordance with ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other, the Company’s Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) licenses are considered indefinite-lived intangibles. These assets, which the Company determined were its only indefinite-lived intangibles, are not subject to amortization, but are tested for impairment at least annually as discussed below. The carrying amounts of the Company’s FCC licenses were $210.1 million and $210.6 million as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015. Pursuant to Emmis’ accounting policy, stations in a geographic market cluster are considered a single unit of accounting, provided that they are not being operated under an LMA with another broadcaster. The Company generally performs its annual impairment test of indefinite-lived intangibles as of December 1 of each year. When indicators of impairment are present, the Company will perform an interim impairment test. During the quarter ended November 30, 2015, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged; hence, no interim impairment testing was warranted. These impairment tests may result in impairment charges in future periods. Fair value of our FCC licenses is estimated to be the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. To determine the fair value of our FCC licenses, the Company uses an income valuation method when it performs its impairment tests. Under this method, the Company projects cash flows that would be generated by each of its units of accounting assuming the unit of accounting was commencing operations in its respective market at the beginning of the valuation period. This cash flow stream is discounted to arrive at a value for the FCC license. The Company assumes the competitive situation that exists in each market remains unchanged, with the exception that its unit of accounting commenced operations at the beginning of the valuation period. In doing so, the Company extracts the value of going concern and any other assets acquired, and strictly values the FCC license. Major assumptions involved in this analysis include market revenue, market revenue growth rates, unit of accounting audience share, unit of accounting revenue share and discount rate. Each of these assumptions may change in the future based upon changes in general economic conditions, audience behavior, consummated transactions, and numerous other variables that may be beyond our control. When evaluating our radio broadcasting licenses for impairment, the testing is performed at the unit of accounting level as determined by ASC Topic 350-30-35. In our case, radio stations in a geographic market cluster are considered a single unit of accounting, provided that they are not being operated under an LMA. |
Valuation of Goodwill | Valuation of Goodwill ASC Topic 350-20-35 requires the Company to test goodwill for impairment at least annually using a two-step process. The first step is a screen for potential impairment, while the second step measures the amount of impairment. The Company conducts the two-step impairment test on December 1 of each fiscal year, unless indications of impairment exist during an interim period. During the quarter ended November 30, 2015, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged; hence, no interim impairment testing was warranted. When assessing its goodwill for impairment, the Company uses an enterprise valuation approach to determine the fair value of each of the Company’s reporting units (radio stations grouped by market and magazines on an individual basis). Management determines enterprise value for each of its reporting units by multiplying the two-year average station operating income generated by each reporting unit (current year based on actual results and the next year based on budgeted results) by an estimated market multiple. The Company uses a blended station operating income trading multiple of publicly traded radio operators as a benchmark for the multiple it applies to its radio reporting units. There are no publicly traded publishing companies that are focused predominantly on city and regional magazines as is our publishing segment. Therefore, the market multiple used as a benchmark for our publishing reporting units has been based on recently completed transactions within the city and regional magazine industry or analyst reports that include valuations of magazine divisions within publicly traded media conglomerates. Management believes this methodology for valuing radio and publishing properties is a common approach and believes that the multiples used in the valuation are reasonable given our peer comparisons and recent market transactions. To corroborate the step-one reporting unit fair values determined using the market approach described above, management also uses an income approach, which is a discounted cash flow method to determine the fair value of the reporting unit. This enterprise valuation is compared to the carrying value of the reporting unit for the first step of the goodwill impairment test. If the reporting unit exhibits impairment, the Company proceeds to the second step of the goodwill impairment test. For its step-two testing, the enterprise value is allocated among the tangible assets, indefinite-lived intangible assets (FCC licenses valued using a direct-method valuation approach) and unrecognized intangible assets, such as customer lists, with the residual amount representing the implied fair value of the goodwill. To the extent the carrying amount of the goodwill exceeds the implied fair value of the goodwill, the difference is recorded as an impairment charge in the statement of operations. |
Definite-lived intangibles | Definite-lived intangibles The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets consist of patents, customer lists, trademarks and a syndicated programming contract, all of which are amortized over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company’s future cash flows. |
Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure | Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis under circumstances and events that include those described in Note 3, Intangible Assets and Goodwill, and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered a Level 3 measurement due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value (see Note 3 for more discussion). Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments Certain nonfinancial assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances, such as when there is evidence of impairment. Assets and liabilities acquired in business combinations are recorded at their fair value as of the date of acquisition. The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using the best available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary, however, in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange, or the value that ultimately will be realized upon maturity or disposition. The use of different market assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments: - Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amount of these assets approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these instruments. - 2014 Credit Agreement debt: As of November 30, 2015, the fair value and carrying value, excluding original issue discount, of the Company's 2014 Credit Agreement debt was $164.2 million and $188.7 million, respectively. The Company's estimate of fair value was based on quoted prices of this instrument and is considered a Level 2 measurement. - Other long-term debt: The Company’s 98.7FM non-recourse debt and Digonex non-recourse debt is not actively traded and is considered a level 3 measurement. The Company believes the current carrying value of its other long-term debt approximates its fair value. As defined in ASC Topic 820, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs to the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. ASC Topic 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of February 28, 2015 and November 30, 2015. The financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Available for sale securities — Emmis’ available for sale securities is an investment in preferred stock of a private company that is not traded in active markets and is included in other current assets in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The investment is recorded at fair value, which was generally estimated using significant unobservable market parameters, resulting in a level 3 categorization. The carrying value of our preferred stock investment was determined by using implied valuations of recent rounds of financing and by other corroborating evidence, which may include the application of various valuation methodologies including option-pricing and discounted cash flow based models. |
New Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to clarify the principles used to recognize revenue for all entities. The FASB deferred implementation of this guidance by one year with the issuance of Accounting Standards Update 2015-14. As such, this guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year ending February 28, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the method of adoption and impact, if any, the adoption of this guidance will have on its financial position and results of operations. In August 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern - Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update provides guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures. ASU 2014-15 is effective for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2017, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The adoption of this update is not expected to have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-03, Interest – Imputation of Interest: Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. Entities that have historically presented debt issuance costs as an asset, related to a recognized debt liability, will be required to present those costs as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. This presentation will result in debt issuance costs being presented the same way debt discounts have historically been handled. The ASU does not change the recognition, measurement, or subsequent measurement guidance for debt issuance costs. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2016 and may be adopted early. The Company expects this new guidance will reduce total assets and total long-term debt on its consolidated balance sheets by amounts classified as deferred debt issuance costs, but does not expect this update to have any other effect on its consolidated financial statements. In April 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-05, Customer’s Accounting for Fees Paid in a Cloud Computing Arrangement. This update provides guidance as to when a company using a cloud computing service that includes a software license should capitalize and depreciate the software license. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance, but does not anticipate it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements. In September 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-16, Business Combinations - Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. This update requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined, including the cumulative effect of the change in the provisional amount as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. This guidance is effective for the Company as of March 1, 2016. The Company does not anticipate this guidance will have any impact on its consolidated financial statements as the purchase price allocations of the Company's recent business combinations have been finalized. In November 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2015-17, Income Taxes - Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update simplifies the presentation of deferred taxes by requiring deferred tax assets and liabilities to be presented as noncurrent in a classified balance sheet. The Company adopted this update as of September 1, 2015. Adoption of this update did not have any effect on the Company's financial position as the Company did not have any deferred tax assets or liabilities classified as current in any period presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. |
