Segment Reporting [Abstract]

Segment Information

13. Segment Information

We evaluate the operating performance of our markets individually. For purposes of business segment reporting, we have aligned operations with similar characteristics into two business segments: Radio and Television.

The Radio segment includes twenty-four markets, which includes all ninety-nine of our radio stations and we also had one radio network in 2015. In 2014 the Radio segment included twenty-three markets, which included ninety-two radio stations and one radio information network. The Television segment includes two markets and consists of four television stations and five low power television (“LPTV”) stations. The Radio and Television segments derive their revenue from the sale of commercial broadcast inventory. The category “Corporate general and administrative” represents the income and expense not allocated to reportable segments.
