Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant On June 13, 2002, the Audit Committee of Emmis Communications Corporation and the Board of Directors of Emmis Operating Company (together with Emmis Communications Corporation, "Emmis") appointed Ernst & Young LLP to serve as our independent public accountants for the fiscal year ending February 28, 2003, dismissing Arthur Andersen LLP. Arthur Andersen's reports on Emmis' financial statements for each of the years ended February 28, 2002 and February 28, 2001 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2002 and February 28, 2001, and through June 13, 2002, there have been no disagreements with Arthur Andersen LLP on any matter of accounting principle or practice, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Arthur Andersen LLP, would have caused them to make reference thereto in their report on the financial statements for such years. During the fiscal years ended February 28, 2002 and February 28, 2001, and through June 13, 2002, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Regulation S-K Item 304(a)(1)(v)). Emmis has provided Arthur Andersen with a copy of the foregoing disclosures. Attached as Exhibit 16.1 is a copy of Arthur Andersen's letter, dated June 20, 2002, stating its agreement with such statements. Item 7.
