For the second time in under a month, the Company is revising upwards its guidance for the first quarter of 2005. The Company now expects to report first quarter net broadcast revenue growth of 5-6% and station operating income growth in the mid-single digit percentage range. This guidance excludes the financial results of Reach Media, Inc. Commenting on this revision, Scott R. Royster, the Company's Executive Vice President and CFO stated, "The last two weeks of March were two of the strongest last two weeks of a month we have seen in a long, long time. Radio One saw its net broadcast revenue (before taking into account the impact of its acquisition of Reach Media) grow in excess of 10% in March, capping off a successful first quarter. We feel good about our prospects based on current business conditions."

(www.radio-one.com) is the nation's seventh largest radio broadcasting company (based on 2004 net broadcast revenue) and the largest company that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners.
