Impairment Charges and Restructuring Costs

During the year 2013, we incurred impairment charges and restructuring costs mainly related to an impairment charge recognized on the write-off of a deposit for an option to purchase a TV station that we operated under a programming agreement throughout 2008 and 2009. Pursuant to a lawsuit, we were requesting the reimbursement of our deposit but our motion for judgment was denied. During the year 2012, we incurred impairment charges and restructuring costs related to the abandonment of a leased office space and losses on various subleased office spaces.

During the years 2013 and 2012, we incurred impairment charges and restructuring costs of $0.9 million and $0.4 million, respectively. During the years 2013 and 2012, we paid impairment charges and restructuring costs of $0.4 million and $0.2 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the total accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets related to impairment charges and restructuring costs was $0.5 million and $0.9 million, which was included in other liabilities.
