Item 5.02   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
(b) Departure of Director
     In accordance with Section 4 of the Corporate Governance Guidelines of Regent Communications, Inc. (“Regent”), Joseph Patrick Hannan, a member of Regent’s Board of Directors, notified Regent of a material change in his principal occupation and position and volunteered to resign as a director and from all Board committees on which he served. Mr. Hannan also withdrew his nomination for re-election at Regent’s 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Regent’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and Board of Directors accepted Mr. Hannan’s resignation effective as of April 13, 2008 and the withdrawal of his nomination for re-election.
(d) Election of New Director
     Upon the recommendation of Regent’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, Regent’s Board of Directors approved the appointment of John F. DeLorenzo to fill the vacancy created on the Board of Directors by Mr. Hannan’s resignation, effective as of April 13, 2008. Regent expects that Mr. DeLorenzo also will be appointed to the Audit Committee and to the Compensation Committee of Regent’s Board of Directors as the replacement to Mr. Hannan on such Board Committees.
     Mr. DeLorenzo, age 49, has served as the Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Chief Financial Officer of Entravision Communications Corporation since December 2002 and has announced that he will be retiring from such positions effective as of May 9, 2008. Mr. DeLorenzo has over 20 years of financial management experience, primarily serving media companies. Mr. DeLorenzo served as a media investment banking consultant between 1999 and 2002. In 1999, Mr. DeLorenzo served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of television broadcaster Paxson Communications. From 1996 to 1999, Mr. DeLorenzo was the owner of Trenwest Development LLC, a residential real estate company. From 1988 to 1996, he was Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Act III Communications, a broadcasting, publishing and movie theater exhibition holding company. Prior to 1988, Mr. DeLorenzo worked at Renaissance Communications and Fox Television, both broadcasting companies.
     Pursuant to the terms of the September 14, 2007 Settlement Agreement (the “Agreement”) among Regent, Riley Investment Management LLC (“RIM”), John Ahn, Mr. Hannan and other parties, RIM currently has the right to propose two nominees for election to Regent’s Board of Directors. Mr. Hannan was one of such nominees and RIM nominated Mr. DeLorenzo to replace Mr. Hannan on Regent’s Board of Directors. Mr. DeLorenzo does not have, and has not had since the beginning of Regent’s last fiscal year, any relationship with Regent that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
     Regent issued the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 on April 17, 2008 announcing the changes to its Board of Directors as described above.
