16. Litigation
 
The Company is subject to various outstanding claims which arise in the ordinary course of business and to other legal proceedings. Management anticipates that any potential liability of the Company, which may arise out of or with respect to these matters, will not materially affect the Company’s financial statements.
 
Nielsen Audio, Inc. (formerly Arbitron, Inc.) (“Nielsen”) filed suit against the Company and one of its subsidiaries, Lakefront Communications, LLC, in the United States District Court in Delaware alleging they have infringed certain of Nielsen’s copyrights.  The case was dismissed on December 1, 2014 when we entered into agreements to license historic Nielsen data in selected markets, in conjunction with entering into licenses to receive Nielsen reports and services for future periods in those markets. The historic data that was licensed will allow us to make historic period comparisons as we utilize the Nielsen reports and services in the future, and the related license fee for the historic data was expensed in 2014.
