Section 4 — Matters Related to Accountants and Financial Statements.

Item 4.01 Changes in Registrant’s Certifying Accountant

      On March 14, 2005, Regent Communications, Inc. (the “Company”) informed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) that at its meeting on March 11, 2005, the Company’s Audit Committee approved the dismissal of PwC as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm upon completion of PwC’s integrated audit of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2004. On March 11, 2005, the Company’s Audit Committee appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (“Deloitte”) as the Company’s new independent registered public accounting firm, subject to Deloitte’s completion of their customary client acceptance procedures.

      The reports of PwC on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 did not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principle.

      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003 and through March 16, 2005, there were no disagreements with PwC on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of PwC, would have caused it to make reference thereto in its reports on the Company’s consolidated financial statements for such years.

      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and through March 16, 2005, there have been no reportable events (as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K).

      The Company has requested that PwC furnish it with a letter addressed to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether or not it agrees with the above statements. Attached as Exhibit 16 is a copy of PwC’s letter, dated March 17, 2005.

      During the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, and through March 16, 2005 (the date Deloitte accepted its appointment), the Company did not consult with Deloitte regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of Regulation S-K.
