FCC Licenses Matters

The broadcasting industry is subject to extensive regulation by the FCC under the Communications Act of 1996. We are required to obtain licenses from the FCC to operate our stations. Licenses are normally granted for a term of eight years and are renewable. We have timely filed license renewal applications for all of our stations; however, certain licenses were not renewed prior to their expiration dates. Based on having filed the timely renewal application, we continue to operate the radio stations operating under the licenses and anticipate that they will be renewed.
