Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements do not relay historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future operations, results and events. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” including any projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. You can identify some of these forward-looking statements by our use of words such as “anticipates,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “likely,” “may,” “estimates” and similar expressions.  You can also identify a forward-looking statement in that such statements discuss matters in a way that anticipates operations, results or events that have not already occurred but rather will or may occur in future periods.  We cannot guarantee that we will achieve any forward-looking plans, intentions, results, operations or expectations.  Because these statements apply to future events, they are subject to risks and uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forecasted or anticipated in the forward-looking statements.  These risks, uncertainties and factors include (in no particular order), but are not limited to:

 	•	the effects the current global financial and economic crisis, credit and equity market volatility and the current and future states of  the U.S. economy may continue to have on our business and financial condition and the business and financial condition of our advertisers;	

 	•	fluctuations within the economy could negatively impact our ability to meet our cash needs and our ability to maintain compliance with our debt covenants;	

 	•	fluctuations in the demand for advertising across our various media given the current economic environment;	

 	•	risks associated with the implementation and execution of our business diversification strategy;	

 	•	increased competition in our markets and in the radio broadcasting and media industries;	

 	•	changes in media audience ratings and measurement methodologies;	

 	•	regulation by the Federal Communications Commission relative to maintaining our broadcasting licenses, enacting media ownership rules and enforcing of indecency rules;	

 	•	changes in our key personnel and on-air talent;	

 	•	increases in the costs of our programming, including on-air talent, content acquisition cost and royalties;	

 	•	financial losses that may be sustained due to impairment charges against our broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible assets, particularly in light of the current economic environment;	

 	•	our incurrence of net losses over the past three fiscal years;	

 	•	increased competition from new technologies;	

 	•	the impact of our acquisitions, dispositions and similar transactions;	

 	•	our high degree of leverage and potential inability to refinance our debt given current market conditions;	

 	•	our current non-compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing of our Class A and Class D common stock; and	

 	•	other factors mentioned in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission including the factors discussed in detail in Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” in our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.	

You should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect our view as of the date of this report. We undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements because of new information, future events or otherwise.

    EXPLANATORY NOTE

Radio One, Inc. (“Radio One” or the “Company”) is filing this Amendment to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009, which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 7, 2009, as the Company is restating its consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2008, and for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 for the reason described below.  This Form 10-Q/A reflects the restatement of the unaudited quarterly financial information and financial statements for the quarterly financial reporting period ended June 30, 2009.

  The restatement is solely the result of an error in the measurement and classification of a noncontrolling interest in Reach Media that resulted in overstated consolidated stockholders’ equity and understated mezzanine equity by equal amounts.  The adjustments decreased total stockholders’ equity by approximately $49.2 million and $41.4 million as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.  The restatements do not result in a change to our previously reported financial results in the consolidated statements of operations or consolidated statements of cash flows for the Company, and, hence, will not affect previously reported net income or earnings per share. See Note 2 to Consolidated Financial Statements for the impact of these adjustments on the consolidated financial statements and footnotes.

This Form 10-Q/A also amends and restates footnote 1 (h) “Fair Value Measurements” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements and updates our critical accounting policies in Item 2 to include enhanced disclosures of our accounting for noncontrolling interests.  As a result of this amendment, the management certifications, filed or furnished as exhibits to the Original Form 10-Q have been re-executed and re-filed or refurnished, as applicable, as of the date of this Form 10-Q/A.

Except as described above, and for corrections of certain typographical errors of an immaterial and non-financial nature, this form 10-Q/A does not amend, update or change the financial statements or any other items or disclosures made in the Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2009.

RADIO ONE, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.  ORGANIZATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
      (a)  Organization
 
      Radio One, Inc. (a Delaware corporation referred to as “Radio One”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) is one of the nation’s largest radio broadcasting companies and the largest broadcasting company that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners. While our primary source of revenue is the sale of local and national advertising for broadcast on our radio stations, we have recently diversified our revenue streams and have made acquisitions and investments in other complementary media properties.  In April 2008, we acquired Community Connect Inc. (“CCI”), an online social networking company that hosts the website BlackPlanet, the largest social networking site primarily targeted at African-Americans. This acquisition is consistent with our operating strategy of becoming a multi-media entertainment and information content provider to African-American consumers.  Our other media acquisitions and investments include our approximate 36% ownership interest in TV One, LLC (“TV One”), an African-American targeted cable television network that we invested in with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors; our 51% ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”), which operates the Tom Joyner Morning Show; and our acquisition of certain assets (“Giant Magazine”) of Giant Magazine, LLC, an urban-themed lifestyle and entertainment magazine. Through our national multi-media presence, we provide advertisers with a unique and powerful delivery mechanism to the African-American audience.   
 
      During the period December 2006 to May 2008, we completed the sale of approximately $287.9 million of our non-core radio assets.  While we maintained our core radio franchise, these dispositions have allowed the Company to more strategically allocate its resources consistent with its long-term multi-media operating strategy. We currently own 53 broadcast stations located in 16 urban markets in the United States.
 
      As part of our consolidated financial statements, consistent with our financial reporting structure and how the Company currently manages its businesses, we have provided selected financial information on the Company’s two reportable segments: (i) Radio Broadcasting and (ii) Internet/Publishing. (See Note 11 –  Segment Information .)
 
      (b)  Interim Financial Statements
 
      The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In management’s opinion, the interim financial data presented herein include all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.
 
      Results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full year. This Form 10-Q/A should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K/A.
 
      Certain reclassifications associated with accounting for discontinued operations have been made to the accompanying prior period financial statements to conform to the current period presentation. Where applicable, these financial statements have been identified as “As Adjusted.” These reclassifications had no effect on previously reported net income or loss, or any other previously reported statements of operations, balance sheet or cash flow amounts. (See Note 4 —  Discontinued Operations  for further discussion.)
 
      (c)  Financial Instruments
 
     Financial instruments as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued expenses, long-term debt, redeemable noncontrolling interests and subscriptions receivable. The carrying amounts approximated fair value for each of these financial instruments as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, except for the Company’s outstanding senior subordinated notes. The 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011 had a carrying value of $101.5 million and a fair value of approximately $40.6 million as of June 30, 2009, and a carrying value of $104.0 million and a fair value of approximately $52.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $200.0 million and a fair value of approximately $64.0 million as of June 30, 2009,  and a carrying value of $200.0 million and a fair value of approximately $60.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The fair values were determined based on the current trading values of these instruments.

      (d)  Revenue Recognition
 
     The Company recognizes revenue for broadcast advertising when a commercial is broadcast and is reported, net of agency and outside sales representative commissions, in accordance with SAB No. 104, Topic 13,  “Revenue Recognition, Revised and Updated.”   Agency and outside sales representative commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing. Generally, clients remit the gross billing amount to the agency or outside sales representative, and the agency or outside sales representative remits the gross billing, less their commission, to the Company. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $7.4 million and $9.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. Agency and outside sales representative commissions were approximately $12.9 million and $17.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
 
      CCI, which the Company acquired in April 2008, currently generates the majority of the Company’s internet revenue, and derives such revenue principally from advertising services, including advertising aimed at diversity recruiting. Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship advertisements.  Advertising revenue is recognized either as impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through” purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable. CCI has a diversity recruiting agreement with Monster, Inc. (“Monster”).  Under the agreement, Monster posts job listings and advertising on CCI’s websites and CCI earns revenue for displaying the images on its websites. This agreement ends December 2009.
 
      Publishing revenue generated by Giant Magazine, mainly advertising, subscription and newsstand sales, is recognized when the issue is available for sale.

(e)  Barter Transactions
 
      The Company provides broadcast advertising time in exchange for programming content and certain services. In accordance with guidance provided by the Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 99-17,  “Accounting for Advertising Barter Transactions, ” the terms of these exchanges generally permit the Company to preempt such broadcast time in favor of advertisers who purchase time in exchange for cash. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both broadcasting net revenue and station operating expenses. The valuation of barter time is based upon the fair value of the network advertising time provided for the programming content and services received. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, barter transaction revenues reflected in net revenue were $819,000 and $603,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, barter transaction revenues reflected in net revenue were approximately $1.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively. Additionally, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses of $778,000 and $558,000 and $41,000 and $41,000 for the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  For the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, barter transaction costs were reflected in programming and technical expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million and $1.1 million and $83,000 and $83,000, respectively,
 
       (f)  Comprehensive Loss
 
      The Company’s comprehensive loss consists of net loss attributable to common stockholders and other items recorded directly to the equity accounts. The objective is to report a measure of all changes in equity of an enterprise that result from transactions and other economic events during the period, other than transactions with owners. The Company’s other comprehensive income (loss) consists of income (losses) on derivative instruments that qualify for cash flow hedge treatment. (See Note 7 -  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. ) 
 
      The following table sets forth the components of comprehensive loss:
 
 	 	Three Months Ended June 30,	 	 	Six Months Ended June 30,	 	
 	 	2009	 	 	2008	 	 	2009	 	 	2008

 (g) Goodwill and Radio Broadcasting Licenses
 
 In connection with past acquisitions, a significant amount of the purchase price was allocated to radio broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible assets. Goodwill consists of the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired. In accordance with SFAS No. 142,  “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”  goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses are not amortized, but are tested annually for impairment at the reporting unit level and unit of accounting level, respectively. We test for impairment annually, on October 1 of each year, or more frequently when events or changes in circumstances or other conditions suggest impairment may have occurred. Impairment exists when the asset carrying values exceed their respective fair values, and the excess is then recorded to operations as an impairment charge. With the assistance of a third party valuation firm, we test for license impairment at the unit of accounting level using the income approach, which involves, but is not limited to judgmental assumptions about projected revenue growth, future operating margins discount rates and terminal values. In testing for goodwill impairment, we follow a two-step approach, also using the income approach that first estimates the fair value of the reporting unit. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, we then determine the implied goodwill after allocating the reporting unit’s fair value of assets and liabilities. Any excess of carrying value over its respective implied goodwill is written off in order to reduce the reporting unit’s carrying value to fair value. We then perform a reasonableness test by comparing the average implied multiple arrived at based on our cash flow projections and estimated fair values to multiples for actual recently completed sale transactions.

Since our annual impairment testing performed for assets owned as of October 1, 2008,  the continuing economic downturn caused further deterioration to the 2009 outlook for the radio industry, and resulted in  significant revenue and profitability declines beyond levels assumed in our 2008 annual and year end impairment testing. Hence, during the first quarter of 2009, we performed an interim impairment assessment, the result of which was to record approximately $49.0 million in impairment charges against radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets. Since our interim first quarter 2009 assessment, no new or additional impairment indicators have emerged, hence, no interim impairment testing was warranted. There was no impairment charge recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008, respectively.  (See Note 5 —  Goodwill, Radio Broadcasting Licenses and Other Intangible Assets.)

 	(h) Fair Value Measurements	
 
      In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 157,  “Fair Value Measurements,”  which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The standard responds to investors’ requests for more information about: (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value; (2) the information to measure fair value; and (3) the effect that fair value measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157 is applied whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for all financial instruments and non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. Effective January 1, 2009, we adopted SFAS No. 157 for all non-financial instruments accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis. SFAS No. 157 establishes a new framework for measuring fair value and expands related disclosures.
 
      The fair value framework requires the categorization of assets and liabilities into three levels based upon the assumptions (inputs) used to price the assets or liabilities. Level 1 provides the most reliable measure of fair value, whereas Level 3 generally requires significant management judgment. The three levels are defined as follows:
 
 	Level 1: Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that can be accessed at measurement date.	

 	Level 2: Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.	
 	 	
 	Level 3: Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s own assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

(b) Pursuant to an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) executed in April 2008, the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) will be eligible to receive an award amount equal to 8% of any proceeds from distributions or other liquidity events in excess of the return of the Company’s aggregate investment in TV One. The Company reviewed the factors underlying this award during the quarter ended June 30, 2009 and at December 31, 2008. The Company’s obligation to pay the award will be triggered only after the Company’s recovery of the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in TV One and only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to the Company’s membership interest in TV One. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the Employment Agreement, and the award lapses upon expiration of the Employment Agreement in April 2011, or earlier if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause. The Company engaged a third party valuation firm to perform a fair valuation of the award. (See Note 7 –  Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities .)
 
(c) Redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media is measured at fair value using a discounted cash flow methodology.  Significant inputs to the discounted cash flow analysis include forecasted operating results, discount rate and terminal value.	 	
 
      The following table presents the changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests amounts reflected in the table above was recorded in the consolidated statements of operations as noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
       Certain assets and liabilities are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis.  These assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis but are subject to fair value adjustments only in certain circumstances.  Included in this category are goodwill, radio broadcasting licenses and other intangible assets, net, that are written down to fair value when they are determined to be impaired.
 
       As of June 30, 2009, each major category of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis during the period are categorized as follows:
  
 	 	Total	 	 	Level 1	 	 	Level 2	 	Level 3	 	 	Total
Gains (Losses)	 	
 	 	(In millions)

Total	 	$	891.8	 	 	$	—	 	 	$	—	 	$	891.8	 	 	$	—	 	
 
      As of December 31, 2008, the total recorded carrying value of goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses was approximately $137.1 million and $763.7 million, respectively. Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, and in connection with its interim impairment testing performed for asset values as of February 28, 2009, carrying values for radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of the Company’s 16 markets were written down to fair values, resulting in a total license carrying value of approximately $714.8 million as of June 30, 2009. The license write-downs resulted in an impairment charge of approximately $49.0 million, which was recorded against earnings, for the quarter ended March 31, 2009. Since our first quarter 2009 assessment, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged, hence, no further interim impairment testing was warranted. The interim testing resulted in no impairment to goodwill. A description of the Level 3 inputs and the information used to develop the inputs is discussed in Note 5 —  Goodwill, Radio Broadcasting Licenses and Other Intangible Assets.
 
      As of December 31, 2008, the total recorded carrying value of other intangible assets excluding goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses was approximately $44.2 million. Pursuant to SFAS No. 144, “ Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,”  no impairment indicators existed during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, and therefore, no impairment assessment was warranted. Considering applicable amortization and interest expense of approximately $2.6 million for the second quarter of 2009 and $2.7 million for the first quarter of 2009, the carrying value of other intangible assets excluding goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses was approximately $38.9 million as of June 30, 2009.
 
 	 (i) Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements	
 
      In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTMand the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles: a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ,” which became the source of authoritative non-SEC U.S. GAAP for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

      In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events. It requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued. Companies are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165. The Company has provided the required disclosures regarding subsequent events in Note 15 –  Subsequent Events .

      In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 107-1 and Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin (“APB”) No. 28-1, “ Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,”  which amends SFAS No. 107, “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28 ,  “ Interim Financial Reporting,”  to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 became effective for the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The additional disclosures required by FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 are included in Note 1 –  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies .

      In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” which amends the guidance in SFAS No. 142,  “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”  about estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible assets, and requires additional disclosures related to renewing or extending the terms of recognized intangible assets. FSP No. SFAS 142-3 became effective as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. SFAS 142-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

      In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations.”  EITF 08-6 discusses the accounting for contingent consideration agreements of an equity method investment and the requirement for the investor to recognize its share of any impairment charges recorded by the investee. EITF 08-6 requires the investor to record share issuances by the investee as if it has sold a portion of its investment with any resulting gain or loss being reflected in earnings. EITF 08-6 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 08-6 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
      In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”   SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format.  It also provides for more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk related.  Finally, it requires cross referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on its financial condition or results of operations.  (See Note 7  – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities .)

 In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, and requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at fair value.  SFAS No. 141R also requires transaction costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 141R-1,  “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.”  FSP No. 141R-1 amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141R to address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Both SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the January 1, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 to have an impact on its accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in the future.
      
      In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 160.  SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which is now characterized as noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 required retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, with all other requirements applied prospectively. Reflected in the December 31, 2008 Form 10-K/A, minority interests on the consolidated balance sheet was approximately $2.0 million.  See Note 2 – Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements , for a discussion of the Company’s accounting and reporting for its noncontrolling interests.

      In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110 that modified SAB No. 107 regarding the use of a “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,  “Share-Based Payment.”  Under SAB No. 107, the use of the “simplified” method was not allowed beyond December 31, 2007. SAB No. 110 allows, however, the use of the “simplified” method beyond December 31, 2007 under certain circumstances. We currently use the “simplified” method under SAB No. 107, and we expect to continue to use the “simplified” method in future periods if the facts and circumstances permit.

      In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,”   which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which provides entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that choose the fair value option will recognize unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option was elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
      In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for more information about: (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value; (2) the information used to measure fair value; and (3) the effect that fair value measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP on Statement 157, “Effective  Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” ( "FSP No. SFAS 157-2").  FSP No. SFAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-2. The adoption of FSP No. SFAS 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

       (j) Liquidity

The Company continually projects its anticipated cash needs, which include (but is not limited to) its operating needs, capital requirements, the TV One funding commitment and principal and interest payments on its indebtedness. Management’s most recent operating income and cash flow projections considered the current economic crisis, which has reduced advertising demand in general, as well as the limited credit environment. As of the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, management believes the Company can meet its liquidity needs through June 30, 2010 with cash and cash equivalents on hand, projected cash flows from operations and, to the extent necessary, through additional borrowing available under the Credit Agreement, which was approximately $8.0 million at June 30, 2009. Based on these projections, management also believes the Company will be in compliance with its debt covenants through June 30, 2010. However, a continued worsening economy, or other unforeseen circumstances, may negatively impact the Company’s operations beyond those assumed in its projections. Management considered the risks that the current economic conditions may have on its liquidity projections, as well as the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenant requirements. If economic conditions deteriorate unexpectedly to an extent that we could not meet our liquidity needs or it appears that noncompliance with debt covenants is likely to result, the Company would implement several remedial measures, which could include further operating cost and capital expenditure reductions, and further de-leveraging actions, which may include repurchases of discounted senior subordinated notes and other debt repayments, subject to our available liquidity to make such repurchases. If these measures are not successful in maintaining compliance with our debt covenants, the Company would attempt to negotiate for relief through an amendment with its lenders or waivers of covenant noncompliance, which could result in higher interest costs, additional fees and reduced borrowing limits. There is no assurance that the Company would be successful in obtaining relief from its debt covenant requirements in these circumstances. Failure to comply with its debt covenants and a corresponding failure to negotiate a favorable amendment or waivers with the Company’s lenders could result in the acceleration of the maturity of all the Company’s outstanding debt, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position.
 
(k) Redeemable noncontrolling interests
 
Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable outside of the Company’s control for cash or other assets are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the noncontrolling interests adjusted for cumulative earnings allocations.  The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital.

 2.  RESTATEMENT OF CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS:

As part of the Company’s acquisition of a controlling 51% ownership interest of Reach Media in 2005, the noncontrolling shareholders of Reach Media were granted the right to require Reach Media to purchase all or a portion of their shares at the then current fair market value for such shares during the 30 day period beginning on February 28, 2012 and each anniversary thereafter (“the Put Right”). The purchase price for such shares may be paid in cash and/or registered Class D Common Stock of Radio One, at the sole discretion of Radio One.  Because the Company cannot ensure that it will be able to settle the Put Right in registered shares, the Company determined that the Put Right is presumed to be settlable only in cash.  Accordingly, the noncontrolling interests are considered to be instruments that are redeemable at the option of the holders for cash and should be classified outside of permanent equity in mezzanine equity.

In its previously filed consolidated financial statements, the Company classified the noncontrolling interests as a component of permanent equity and recorded the noncontrolling interests at its historical cost basis adjusted for the portion of earnings attributable to the noncontrolling interests. Because the noncontrolling interests in Reach Media will become redeemable on February 28, 2012, the Company must elect to subsequently measure the noncontrolling interests to its expected redemption value by either accreting changes in the redemption value from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date using an appropriate methodology or by recognizing changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur as if the end of the reporting period was the redemption date. The Company has elected to recognize changes in the redemption value immediately as they occur as if the end of the reporting period was the redemption date.

3.  ACQUISITIONS:

In June 2008, the Company purchased the assets of WPRS-FM, a radio station located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for $38.0 million in cash.  Since April 2007 and until closing, the station had been operated under a local marketing agreement (“LMA”), and the results of its operations had been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the inception of the LMA.  The station was consolidated with the Company’s existing Washington, DC operations in April 2007. The Company’s final purchase price allocation consisted of approximately $33.9 million to radio broadcasting license, approximately $1.3 million to definitive-lived intangibles (acquired favorable income leases), $965,000 to goodwill and approximately $1.8 million to fixed assets on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.

In April 2008, the Company acquired CCI for $38.0 million in cash. CCI is an online social networking company operating branded websites including BlackPlanet, MiGente, and AsianAvenue. The Company’s final purchase price allocation consists of approximately $10.2 million to current assets, $4.6 million to fixed assets, $21.4 million to goodwill, $9.9 million to definite-lived intangibles (brand names, advertiser relationships and lists, favorable subleases, trademarks, trade names, etc.), and $6.0 million to current liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2009.

In July 2007, the Company purchased the assets of WDBZ-AM, a radio station located in the Cincinnati metropolitan area for approximately $2.6 million. The sales price was financed by a loan from the seller, which was paid in full in July 2008. Since August 2001 and up until closing, the station had been operated under a LMA, and the results of its operations had been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements since the LMA. The station was consolidated with the Company’s existing Cincinnati operations in 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, during the first quarter 2009, we impaired radio broadcasting licenses in the Cincinnati market (which consists of a total of three stations) by approximately $3.3 million. (See Note 5 —  Goodwill, Radio Broadcasting Licenses and Other Intangible Assets. )

5.  GOODWILL, RADIO BROADCASTING LICENSES AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS:
      
In the past, we have made acquisitions whereby a significant amount of the purchase price was allocated to radio broadcasting licenses, goodwill and other intangible assets. Effective January 1, 2002, in accordance with SFAS No. 142, we do not amortize our radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill. Instead, we perform a test for impairment annually, or when events or changes in circumstances or other conditions suggest an impairment may have occurred. Other intangible assets continue to be amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. We perform our annual impairment test as of October 1 of each year.

Since our annual impairment testing performed as of October 1, 2008, the prolonged economic downturn has caused further deterioration to the 2009 outlook for the radio industry, and has resulted in further significant revenue and profitability declines. As a result, during the three months ended March 31, 2009, we made considerable reductions to our internal projections. Given the adverse impact on terminal values, we deemed the worsening radio outlook and the lowering of our internal projections as triggering events that warranted interim impairment testing during the first quarter of 2009, which we performed as of February 28, 2009. The outcome of our interim testing was to record impairment charges against radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets, for approximately $49.0 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2009. Since our first quarter 2009 assessment, no new or additional impairment indicators emerged, and therefore, no interim impairment testing was warranted. There was no impairment charge recorded for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2008.

We utilize the services of a third party valuation firm when evaluating our radio broadcasting licenses for impairment, and the testing is done at the unit of accounting level as determined by EITF 02-7,  “Unit of Accounting for Testing Impairment of Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets,”  using the income approach method. The income approach method involves a 10-year model that incorporates several variables, including, but not limited to, discounted cash flows of a typical market participant, market revenue and long-term growth projections, estimated market share for the typical participant and estimated profit margins based on market size and station type. The model also assumes outlays for capital expenditures, future terminal values, an effective tax rate assumption and a discount rate based on the weighted-average cost of capital of the radio broadcast industry.

The impairment testing of goodwill is performed at the reporting unit level, and is also done with the assistance of a third party valuation firm. We had 21 reporting units as of our interim and annual goodwill impairment assessment dates. In testing for the impairment of goodwill, we also use the income approach method. The approach involves a 10-year model with similar variables as described above, except that the discounted cash flows are generally based on the Company’s actual and projected market share and performance for its markets. We follow a two-step process to evaluate if a potential impairment exists for goodwill. The first step of the process involves estimating the fair value of each reporting unit. If the reporting unit’s fair value is less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the individual assets and liabilities of the reporting unit in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit’s goodwill as of the impairment assessment date. Any excess of the carrying value of the goodwill over the implied fair value of the goodwill is written off to reduce the reporting unit’s carrying value to its estimated fair value.

Below are key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating asset fair values for the annual impairment testing performed October 1, 2008 and subsequent interim impairment testing performed February 28, 2009.

Radio Broadcasting Licenses	October 1, 2008	February 28, 2009

6.  INVESTMENT IN AFFILIATED COMPANY:

In January 2004, the Company, together with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation and other investors, launched TV One, an entity formed to operate a cable television network featuring lifestyle, entertainment and news-related programming targeted primarily towards African-American viewers. At that time, we committed to make a cumulative cash investment of $74.0 million in TV One, of which $60.3 million had been funded as of June 30, 2009. The initial four year commitment period for funding the capital was extended to October 1, 2009, due in part to TV One’s lower than anticipated capital needs during the initial commitment period. In December 2004, TV One entered into a distribution agreement with DIRECTV and certain affiliates of DIRECTV became investors in TV One. As of June 30, 2009, the Company owned approximately 36% of TV One on a fully-converted basis.
 
The Company has recorded its investment at cost and has adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the change in the Company’s claim on the net assets of TV One resulting from operating losses of TV One as well as other capital transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book value approach. For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s net income was $747,000 and $29,000, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the Company’s allocable share of TV One’s net income (losses) was approximately $1.9 million and $(2.8) million, respectively.

We entered into separate network services and advertising services agreements with TV One in 2003. Under the network services agreement, we are providing TV One with administrative and operational support services and access to Radio One personalities. This agreement was originally scheduled to expire in January 2009, and has now been extended to January 2010. Under the advertising services agreement, we are providing a specified amount of advertising to TV One. This agreement was also originally scheduled to expire in January 2009 and has now been extended to January 2011. In consideration of providing these services, we have received equity in TV One, and receive an annual cash fee of $500,000 for providing services under the network services agreement.

The Company is accounting for the services provided to TV One under the advertising and network services agreements in accordance with EITF Issue No. 00-8, “ Accounting by a Grantee for an Equity Instrument to Be Received in Conjunction with Providing Goods or Services .”  As services are provided to TV One, the Company is recording revenue based on the fair value of the most reliable unit of measurement in these transactions. For the advertising services agreement, the most reliable unit of measurement has been determined to be the value of underlying advertising time that is being provided to TV One. For the network services agreement, the most reliable unit of measurement has been determined to be the value of the equity received in TV One. As a result, the Company is re-measuring the fair value of the equity received in consideration of its obligations under the network services agreement in each subsequent reporting period as the services are provided. The Company recognized $337,000 and $847,000, in revenue relating to these two agreements for the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The Company recognized $956,000 and approximately $2.0 million in revenue relating to these two agreements for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

7.  	DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES:	
       
SFAS No. 161 amends and expands the disclosure requirements of FASB Statement No. 133, ”Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”   (“SFAS No. 133”), with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 requires qualitative disclosures about objectives and strategies for using derivatives, quantitative disclosures about the fair value of gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

      Hedging Activities
 
      In June 2005, pursuant to the Credit Agreement (as defined in Note 8 - Long-Term Debt), the Company entered into four fixed rate swap agreements to reduce interest rate fluctuations on certain floating rate debt commitments. Two of the four $25.0 million swap agreements expired in June 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Company accounts for the remaining swap agreements using the fair value method of accounting.
 
      The remaining swap agreements have the following terms:

Agreement	Notional Amount	Expiration	 	Fixed Rate	 	
No. 1	$25.0 million	June 16, 2010	 	 	4.27	%	
No. 2	$25.0 million	June 16, 2012	 	 	4.47	%	
 
Each swap agreement has been accounted for as a qualifying cash flow hedge of the Company’s senior bank debt, in accordance with SFAS No. 133 ,  whereby changes in the fair market value are reflected as adjustments to the fair value of the derivative instruments as reflected on the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

23

 
 
      The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to manage interest rate risk associated with the Company’s floating rate debt commitments and to add stability to future cash flows. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. 
 
      The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During 2009, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with existing floating rate debt commitments.  The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives, if any, is recognized directly in earnings. There was no hedging ineffectiveness during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  
 
      Amounts reported in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s floating rate debt. During the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional amount of approximately $1.3 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.
 
      Under the swap agreements, the Company pays the fixed rate listed in the table above. The counterparties to the agreements pay the Company a floating interest rate based on the three month LIBOR, for which measurement and settlement is performed quarterly. The counterparties to these agreements are international financial institutions. The Company estimates the net fair value of these instruments as of June 30, 2009 to be a liability of approximately $2.5 million. The fair value of the interest rate swap agreements is estimated by obtaining quotations from the financial institutions, which are parties to the Company’s swap agreements. 
 
      Costs incurred to execute the swap agreements are deferred and amortized over the term of the swap agreements. The amounts incurred by the Company, representing the effective difference between the fixed rate under the swap agreements and the variable rate on the underlying term of the debt, are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. In the event of early termination of these swap agreements, any gains or losses would be amortized over the respective lives of the underlying debt or recognized currently if the debt is terminated earlier than initially anticipated.
 
      Other Derivative Instruments
 
      The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, in the balance sheet as either an asset or liability. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item are recognized in the statement of operations. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects net income. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge, it is marked to fair value through the statement of operations.  Any fees associated with these derivatives are amortized over their term. 
 
      As of June 30, 2009, the Company was party to an Employment Agreement executed in April 2008 with the CEO which calls for an award that has been accounted for as a derivative instrument without a hedging relationship in accordance with the guidance provided in SFAS No. 133. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, the CEO is eligible to receive an award amount equal to 8% of any proceeds from distributions or other liquidity events in excess of the return of the Company’s aggregate investment in TV One. The Company reassessed the estimated fair value of the award at June 30, 2009 to be approximately $4.2 million, and accordingly, adjusted its liability to this amount. The Company’s obligation to pay the award will be triggered only after the Company’s recovery of the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in TV One and only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to the Company’s membership interest in TV One. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the Employment Agreement, and the award lapses upon expiration of the Employment Agreement in April 2011, or earlier if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company, or is terminated for cause.

      Credit Facilities
 
      In June 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “Credit Agreement”). Simultaneous with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $437.5 million to retire all outstanding obligations under its previous credit agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended in April 2006 and September 2007 to modify certain financial covenants and other provisions. The Credit Agreement expires the earlier of (a) six months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2011 (unless the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes have been repurchased or refinanced prior to such date) or (b) June 30, 2012. The total amount available under the Credit Agreement is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility. Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain provisions including but not limited to financial covenants. The Company may use proceeds from the credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business, its common stock repurchase program, permitted direct and indirect investments and other lawful corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company must comply with, including (a) maintaining an interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.90 to 1.00 from January 1, 2006 to September 13, 2007, and no less than 1.60 to 1.00 from September 14, 2007 to June 30, 2008, and no less than 1.75 to 1.00 from July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, and no less than 2.00 to 1.00 from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, and no less than 2.25 to 1.00 from January 1, 2011 and thereafter, (b) maintaining a total leverage ratio of no greater than 7.00 to 1.00 beginning April 1, 2006 to September 13, 2007, and no greater than 7.75 to 1.00 beginning September 14, 2007 to March 31, 2008, and no greater than 7.50 to 1.00 beginning April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and no greater than 7.25 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010, and no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 beginning July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2011 and thereafter, (c) maintaining a senior leverage ratio of no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 beginning June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007, and no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2007 and thereafter, (d) limitations on liens, (e) limitations on the sale of assets, (f) limitations on the payment of dividends, and (g) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2009. At the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q/A and based on its most recent projections, the Company's management believes it will be in compliance with all debt covenants through June 30, 2010. Based on its fiscal year end 2007 excess cash flow calculation, the Company made a debt principal prepayment of approximately $6.0 million in May 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008 no excess cash calculation was required and therefore, no payment was required. In March 2009 and May 2009, the Company made prepayments of $70.0 million and $31.5 million, respectively, on the term loan facility based on its excess proceeds calculation which included asset acquisition and disposition activity for the twelve month period ended May 31, 2009.  These prepayments were funded with $70.0 million and $31.5 million in loan proceeds from the revolving facility in March 2009 and May 2009, respectively.
 
      As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $182.0 million of borrowing capacity. Taking into consideration the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, approximately $8.0 million of that amount is available for borrowing.

25

 
 
      Under the terms of the Credit Agreement, upon any breach or default under either the 87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes or the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes, the lenders could among other actions immediately terminate the Credit Agreement and declare the loans then outstanding under the Credit Agreement to be due and payable in whole immediately.  Similarly, under the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes and the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes, a default under the terms of the Credit Agreement would constitute an event of default, and the trustees or the holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes (under either class) may declare the principal of such class of note and interest to be due and payable immediately.
 
      Interest payments under the terms of the Credit Agreement are due based on the type of loan selected. Interest on alternate base rate loans as defined under the terms of the Credit Agreement is payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December. Interest due on the LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the interest period applicable for borrowings up to three months in duration, and on the last day of each March, June, September and December for borrowings greater than three months in duration. In addition, quarterly installments of principal on the term loan facility are payable on the last day of each March, June, September and December commencing on September 30, 2007 in a percentage amount of the principal balance of the term loan facility outstanding on September 30, 2007, net of loan repayments, of 1.25% between September 30, 2007 and June 30, 2008, 5.0% between September 30, 2008 and June 30, 2009, and 6.25% between September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2012. Based on the $194.0 million net principal balance of the term loan facility outstanding on September 30, 2007, a $70.0 million prepayment in March 2009 and a $31.5 million prepayment in May 2009, quarterly payments of $4.5 million are payable between September 30, 2009 and June 30, 2012.
 
      As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding approximately $318.0 million on its revolving credit facility. During the quarter ended June 30, 2009, we borrowed $31.5 million from our credit facility to fund the repurchase of bonds and general corporate purposes, and repaid approximately $35.1 million.

      Senior Subordinated Notes
 
      As of June 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding $200.0 million of its 63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 and $101.5 million of its 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased $2.4 million of the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes at an average discount of 50.0%, and recorded a gain on the retirement of debt, net of the write-off of deferred financing costs, of approximately $1.2 million.  The 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011 had a carrying value of $101.5 million and a fair value of approximately $40.6 million as of June 30, 2009, and a carrying value of $104.0 million and a fair value of approximately $52.0 million as of December 31, 2008., The 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due February 2013 had a carrying value of $200.0 million and a fair value of approximately $64.0 million as of June 30, 2009,  and a carrying value of $200.0 million and a fair value of approximately $60.0 million as of December 31, 2008. The fair values were determined based on the fair market value of similar instruments.

       Interest payments under the terms of the 63/8% and the 87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes are due in February and August, and January and July of each year, respectively.  Based on the $200.0 million principal balance of the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding on June 30, 2009, interest payments of $6.4 million are payable each February and August through February 2013.  The Company made this $6.4 million payment in February 2009. Based on the $101.5 million principal balance of the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes outstanding on June 30, 2009, interest payments of $4.5 million are payable each January and July through July 2011. The Company made a $4.6 million payment in January 2009 and a $4.5 million payment in July 2009.

      The indentures governing the Company’s senior subordinated notes also contain covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional debt, purchase capital stock, make capital expenditures, make investments or other restricted payments, swap or sell assets, engage in transactions with related parties, secure non-senior debt with assets, or merge, consolidate or sell all or substantially all of its assets.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2009. At the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q/A and based on its most recent projections, the Company's management believes it will be in compliance with all covenants through June 30, 2010.
 
      The Company conducts a portion of its business through its subsidiaries. Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries have fully and unconditionally guaranteed the Company’s 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes, the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes and the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement expires the earlier of (i) six months prior to the scheduled maturity of the 87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 1, 2011, unless the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes have been refinanced or repurchased prior to such date, or (ii) June 30, 2012.   In prior reporting, management had assumed that the Company would refinance the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes prior to January 1, 2011 and, therefore, the maturity date for the loans governed by the Credit Agreement would be June 30, 2012.  However, while management continues to believe it is probable that the Company will refinance the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes prior to January 1, 2011, given the current state of the U.S. economy and the volatility and tightening of the credit markets, management believes it is appropriate to reflect that the loans governed by the Credit Agreement will mature on January 1, 2011, six months prior to the scheduled maturity of the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes.

9.  INCOME TAXES:

      The tax rate from continuing operations for the six month period ended June 30, 2009 was (21.3%), which includes (.8%) for discrete items.  This rate is based on the blending of  an estimated annual effective tax rate of (15.2%) for Radio One, which has a full valuation allowance for most of its deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), with an estimated annual effective rate of 35.2% for Reach Media, which does not have a valuation allowance.
 
      In 2007, the Company concluded it was more likely than not that the benefit from certain of its DTAs would not be realized. The Company considered its historically profitable jurisdictions, its sources of future taxable income and tax planning strategies in determining the amount of valuation allowance recorded. As part of that assessment, the Company also determined that it was not appropriate under generally accepted accounting principles to benefit its DTAs based on deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”) related to indefinite-lived intangibles that cannot be scheduled to reverse in the same period. Because the DTL in this case would not reverse until some future indefinite period when the intangibles are either sold or impaired, any resulting temporary differences cannot be considered a source of future taxable income to support realization of the DTAs. As a result of this assessment, and given the then three year cumulative loss position, the uncertainty of future taxable income and the feasibility of tax planning strategies, the Company recorded a valuation allowance for certain of its DTAs in 2007. For the six month period ended June 30, 2009, an additional valuation allowance for the current year anticipated increase to DTAs related to net operating loss carryforwards from the amortization of indefinite-lived intangibles was included in the annual effective tax rate calculation.
 
      On January 1, 2007, the Company adopted the provisions of FIN No. 48,“Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Interpretation of SFAS No. 109,”    which recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. The nature of the uncertainties pertaining to our income tax position is primarily due to various state tax positions. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $5.0 million in unrecognized tax benefits. Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits is recognized as a component of tax expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company recorded an expense for interest and penalties of $23,000.  As of June 30, 2009, the Company had a liability of $141,000 for unrecognized tax benefits for interest and penalties. The Company estimates the possible change in unrecognized tax benefits prior to June 30, 2010 would be anywhere from $0 to a reduction of $222,000, due to expiring statutes.

10.  STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY:
 
      Common Stock
 
      Shareholders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to one vote per share. Shareholders of Class B Common Stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Shareholders of Class C and Class D Common Stock are not entitled to vote. 

  Stock Repurchase Program
 
      In March 2008, the Company’s board of directors authorized a repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock through December 31, 2009, in an amount of up to $150.0 million, the maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement.  The amount and timing of such repurchases will be based on pricing, general economic and market conditions, and the restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Company’s credit facilities and subordinated debt and certain other factors. While $150.0 million is the maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement, in 2005, under a prior board authorization, the Company utilized approximately $78.0 million to repurchase common stock leaving capacity of $72.0 million under the Credit Agreement. During the six month period ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 34,889 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $0.68 and 20.8 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $0.47. There were no shares repurchased during the six month period ended June 30, 2008; however, for the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company repurchased 421,661 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $1.32 and 20.0 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $0.58. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $50.0 million in capacity available under the 2008 stock repurchase program.
 
      The Company continues to have an open stock repurchase authorization with respect to its Class A and D stock and continued to make purchases subsequent to June 30, 2009. (See Note 15 –  Subsequent Events .)

   Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan

Under the Company’s 1999 Stock Option and Restricted Stock Grant Plan (“Plan”), the Company had the authority to issue up to 10,816,198 shares of Class D Common Stock and 1,408,099 shares of Class A Common Stock. The Plan expired May 5, 2009, thus as of June 30, 2009, no Class A and D shares were available for grant under the Plan. The options previously issued under the Plan are exercisable in installments determined by the compensation committee of the Company’s board of directors at the time of grant. These options expire as determined by the compensation committee, but no later than ten years from the date of the grant. The Company uses an average life for all option awards. The Company settles stock options upon exercise by issuing stock. As noted in our proxy statement filed on or about August 7, 2009 we are proposing to adopt a new stock option and restricted stock plan.  The terms of the proposed plan are substantially similar to the prior Plan.

On January 1, 2006, the Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. These stock-based awards do not participate in dividends until fully vested. The fair value of stock options is determined using the Black- Scholes (“BSM”) valuation model, which is consistent with our valuation methodologies previously used for options in footnote disclosures required under SFAS No. 123,  “Accounting for Stock-based Compensation ,” as amended by SFAS No. 148,  “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure.”  Such fair value is recognized as an expense over the service period, net of estimated forfeitures, using the straight-line method under SFAS No. 123(R). Estimating the number of stock awards that will ultimately vest requires judgment, and to the extent actual forfeitures differ substantially from our current estimates, amounts will be recorded as a cumulative adjustment in the period the estimated number of stock awards are revised. We consider many factors when estimating expected forfeitures, including the types of awards, employee classification and historical experience. Actual forfeitures may differ substantially from our current estimate.

The Company also uses the BSM valuation model to calculate the fair value of stock-based awards. The BSM incorporates various assumptions including volatility, expected life, and interest rates. For options granted the Company uses the BSM option-pricing model and determines: (1) the term by using the simplified “plain-vanilla” method as allowed under SAB No. 110; (2) a historical volatility over a period commensurate with the expected term, with the observation of the volatility on a daily basis; and (3) a risk-free interest rate that was consistent with the expected term of the stock options and based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant.
 
      The Company did not grant stock options during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009. The Company granted 1,913,650 stock options during the three months ended June 30, 2008. No other options were granted during the six month period ended June 30, 2008. The per share weighted-average fair value of options granted during the three months ended June 30, 2008 was $0.74.

These fair values were derived using the BSM with the following weighted-average assumptions:

 	 	For the Three Months Ended June 30,	 	For the Six Months Ended June 30,

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the difference between the Company’s stock closing price on the last day of trading during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of shares that would have been received by the holders of in-the-money options had all the option holders exercised their options on June 30, 2009. This amount changes based on the fair market value of the Company’s stock. There were no options exercised during the three months ended June 30, 2009. The number of options that vested during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 were 753,162 and 809,413 respectively.

As of June 30, 2009, approximately $1.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.1 years. The stock option weighted-average fair value per share was $4.41 at June 30, 2009.

Transactions and other information relating to restricted stock grants for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are summarized below:
 
 	 	Number of Restricted Shares	 	 	Weighted-Average Fair Value at Grant Date	 	
Unvested as of December 31, 2008	 	 	628,000	 	 	$	2.14

As of June 30, 2009, $670,000 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock grants is expected to be recognized over the next 1.2 years.

 11.  SEGMENT INFORMATION:

The Company has two reportable segments: (i) Radio Broadcasting; and (ii) Internet/Publishing. These two segments operate in the United States and are consistently aligned with the Company’s management of its businesses and its financial reporting structure.

The Radio Broadcasting segment consists of all broadcast and Reach Media results of operations. The Internet/Publishing segment includes the results of our online business, including the operations of CCI since its date of acquisition, and Giant Magazine. Corporate/Eliminations/Other represents financial activity associated with our corporate staff and offices, inter-company activity between the two segments and activity associated with a small film venture.

Operating loss or income represents total revenues less operating expenses, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of long-lived assets. Inter-company revenue earned and expenses charged between segments are recorded at fair value and eliminated in consolidation.

     The accounting policies described in the summary of significant accounting policies in Note 1 – Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies  are applied consistently across the two segments.

Detailed segment data for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 is presented in the following tables:

 12.  CONTRACT TERMINATION:

In connection with the September 2005 termination of the Company’s sales representation agreements with Interep National Radio Sales, Inc. (“Interep”), and its subsequent agreements with Katz Communications, Inc. (“Katz”) making Katz the Company’s sole national sales representative, Katz paid the Company $3.4 million as an inducement to enter into new agreements and paid Interep approximately $5.3 million to satisfy the Company’s termination obligations. The Company is amortizing both over the four-year life of the subsequent Katz agreements as a reduction to selling, general, and administrative expense. For each of the three month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, selling, general, and administrative expense was reduced by $474,000, and for each of the six month periods ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, the reduction was 947,000. As of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, an unamortized amount of $316,000 and approximately $1.3 million, respectively, is reflected in other current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

13.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS:

 The Company’s CEO and Chairperson own a music company called Music One, Inc. (“Music One”). The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of Music One. Based on the cross-promotional value received by the Company, we believe that the provision of such promotion is fair. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Radio One paid $1,000 and $28,000, and $85,000 and $124,000, respectively, to or on behalf of Music One, primarily for market talent event appearances, travel reimbursement and sponsorships. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company provided no advertising services to Music One; however, for the same periods in 2008, the Company provided $15,000 and $61,000, respectively, in advertising services. As of June 30, 2009, Music One owed Radio One $70,000 for office space and administrative services provided in 2008 and 2007.

During July 2009, the Company repurchased 1,351,300 shares of Class D common stock in the amount of $513,494 at an average price of $0.38 per share. As of July 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $49.5 million in capacity available under its share repurchase program.

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) periodically reviews filings made under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 to monitor and enhance compliance with the applicable disclosure and accounting requirements.  As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the SEC undertakes some level of review of each reporting company at least once every three years.  On August 6, 2009, the Company received two letters from the SEC regarding certain disclosures made in its Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 filed March 16, 2009, as amended April 30, 2009, Forms 10-Q/A for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2009 and the Company’s Preliminary Proxy Statement (the “Reviewed Company Filings”).  The letter indicates that the SEC has reviewed the Reviewed Company Filings and suggests certain revisions to the Reviewed Company Filings (the “Comments”).   The Company is reviewing the Comments and will respond to the SEC accordingly.

 As part of the preparation of the interim consolidated financial statements, the Company performed an evaluation of subsequent events occurring after the consolidated balance sheet date of June 30, 2009, through August 7, 2009, the date the interim consolidated financial statements were issued.

Item 2.  Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following information should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included elsewhere in this report and the audited financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Introduction

Revenue

We primarily derive revenue from the sale of advertising time and program sponsorships to local and national advertisers on our radio stations. Advertising revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates our radio stations are able to charge, as well as the overall demand for radio advertising time in a market. These rates are largely based upon a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers, the number of radio stations in the related market, and the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time. Advertising rates are generally highest during morning and afternoon commuting hours.
 
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, approximately 57.9% and 56.4% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising and approximately 36.5% and 37.5% was generated from national advertising, including network advertising. In comparison, during the three months and six months ended June 30, 2008, approximately 58.9% of our net revenue was generated from local advertising for both periods and approximately 36.0% and 36.3% was generated from national advertising, including network advertising. National advertising also includes advertising revenue generated from our internet and publishing segments. The balance of revenue was generated from tower rental income, ticket sales and revenue related to our sponsored events, management fees, magazine subscriptions, newsstand revenue and other revenue.

In the broadcasting industry, radio stations often utilize trade or barter agreements to reduce cash expenses by exchanging advertising time for goods or services. In order to maximize cash revenue for our spot inventory, we closely monitor the use of trade and barter agreements.
 
Community Connect Inc. (“CCI”), which the Company acquired in April 2008, currently generates the majority of the Company’s internet revenue, and derives such revenue principally from advertising services, including diversity recruiting. Advertising services include the sale of banner and sponsorship advertisements. Advertising revenue is recognized either as impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through” purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable. CCI has a diversity recruiting agreement with Monster, Inc. (“Monster”). Under the agreement, Monster posts job listings and advertising on CCI websites and CCI earns revenue for displaying the images on its websites. This agreement expires in December 2009.
 
In December 2006, the Company acquired certain net assets (“Giant Magazine”) of Giant Magazine, LLC. Giant Magazine derives revenue from the sale of advertising, as well as newsstand and subscription revenue generated from sales of the magazine.
 
In February 2005, we acquired 51% of the common stock of Reach Media, Inc. (“Reach Media”). A substantial portion of Reach Media’s revenue is generated from a sales representation agreement with a third party radio company. Pursuant to a multi-year agreement, revenue is received monthly in exchange for the sale of advertising time on the nationally syndicated Tom Joyner Morning Show, which is currently aired on 106 affiliated stations. The annual amount of revenue is based on a contractual amount determined based on number of affiliates, demographic audience and ratings.  The agreement provides for a potential to earn additional amounts if certain revenue goals are met. The agreement also provides for sales representation rights related to Reach Media’s events. Additional revenue is generated by Reach Media from this and other customers through special events, sponsorships, its internet business and other related activities. The agreement expires December 31, 2009.

Expenses

Our significant broadcast expenses are (i) employee salaries and commissions, (ii) programming expenses, (iii) marketing and promotional expenses, (iv) rental of premises for office facilities and studios, (v) rental of transmission tower space and (vi) music license royalty fees. We strive to control these expenses by centralizing certain functions such as finance, accounting, legal, human resources and management information systems and the overall programming management function. We also use our multiple stations, market presence and purchasing power to negotiate favorable rates with certain vendors and national representative selling agencies.

We generally incur marketing and promotional expenses to increase our audiences. However, because Arbitron reports ratings either monthly or quarterly, depending on the particular market, any ratings changes and the effect on advertising revenue tends to lag behind both the reporting of the ratings and the incurrence of advertising and promotional expenditures.

In addition to salaries and commissions, major expenses for our internet business include membership traffic acquisition costs, software product design, post application software development and maintenance, database and server support costs, the help desk function, data center expenses connected with internet service provider (“ISP”) hosting services and other internet content delivery expenses. Major expenses for our publishing business include salaries, commissions, and costs associated with printing, production and circulation of magazine issues.

Measurement of Performance

We monitor and evaluate the growth and operational performance of our business using net income and the following key metrics:
 
(a) Net revenue:  The performance of an individual radio station or group of radio stations in a particular market is customarily measured by its ability to generate net revenue. Net revenue consists of gross revenue, net of local and national agency and outside sales representative commissions consistent with industry practice. Net revenue is recognized in the period in which advertisements are broadcast or, in the case of Giant Magazine, the month in which a particular issue is available for sale. Net revenue also includes advertising aired in exchange for goods and services, which is recorded at fair value, revenue from sponsored events and other revenue. Net revenue is recognized for CCI as impressions are delivered, as “click throughs” are reported or ratably over contract periods, where applicable.

(b) Station operating income:  Net (loss) income before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest income, interest expense, equity in gain or loss of affiliated company, minority interest in income of subsidiaries, gain on retirement of debt, other expense, corporate expenses, stock-based compensation expenses, impairment of long-lived assets and gain or loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, is commonly referred to in our industry as station operating income. Station operating income is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless, we believe station operating income is often a useful measure of a broadcasting company’s operating performance and is a significant basis used by our management to measure the operating performance of our stations within the various markets. Station operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations, apart from expenses associated with our physical plant, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt financings and retirements, corporate overhead, stock-based compensation and discontinued operations. Station operating income is frequently used as a basis for comparing businesses in our industry, although our measure of station operating income may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Station operating income does not represent operating income or loss or cash flows from operating activities, as those terms are defined under generally accepted accounting principles, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.

(c) Station operating income margin:  Station operating income margin represents station operating income as a percentage of net revenue. Station operating income margin is not a measure of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles. Nevertheless, we believe that station operating income margin is a useful measure of our performance because it provides helpful information about our profitability as a percentage of our net revenue.

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	 	
$70,083	$83,432	 	$(13,349)	(16.0)%	

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized approximately $70.1 million in net revenue compared to approximately $83.4 million during the same period in 2008. These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative commissions, which were approximately $7.4 million during the three months ended 2009, compared to approximately $9.4 million during the same period in 2008. The decrease in net revenue was due primarily to the ongoing poor economic climate which has continued to weaken demand for advertising in general. For our radio business, based on reports prepared by the independent accounting firm Miller, Kaplan, Arase & Co., LLP (“Miller Kaplan”), the markets we operate in declined 21.3% in total revenues for the second quarter, 20.1% in national revenues and 23.5% in local revenues. While the Company’s total radio net revenue declined less than that of the markets in which we operate, nonetheless, we experienced considerable decreases in net revenue in our larger radio markets, notably Atlanta, Baltimore, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Washington, DC. Both CCI and Reach Media experienced internet revenue declines due to overall advertising weakness. Net revenue for our syndicated shows and our St. Louis radio market experienced growth for the quarter.

Operating Expenses

 	Programming and technical, excluding stock-based compensation	

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                	
$19,225	$20,764	 	$(1,539)	(7.4)%	

Programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with on-air talent and the management and maintenance of the systems, tower facilities, and studios used in the creation, distribution and broadcast of programming content on our radio stations. Programming and technical expenses for radio also include expenses associated with our programming research activities and music royalties. Expenses associated with the printing and publication of Giant Magazine issues are also included in programming and technical. For our internet business, programming and technical expenses include software product design, post-application software development and maintenance, database and server support costs, the help desk function, data center expenses connected with ISP hosting services and other internet content delivery expenses. The decrease in programming and technical expenses resulted from several cost reduction initiatives in the radio segment, specifically compensation savings from employee layoffs and salary reductions, contracted on-air talent reductions and lower travel and entertainment spending. Lower issue related costs for Giant Magazine also contributed to the reduced programming and technical expenses.

Selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                             	
$21,305	$27,489	 	$(6,184)	(22.5)%	

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales departments, offices and facilities and personnel (outside of our corporate headquarters), marketing and promotional expenses, special events and sponsorships and back office expenses. Expenses to secure ratings data for our radio stations and visitors’ data for our websites are also included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses for radio and internet also include expenses related to the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. Our radio division drove approximately $4.9 million in savings, primarily from lower commissions and national representative fees due to declining revenue and lower salaries resulting from employee layoffs and salary cuts. Other radio division savings included less travel and entertainment spending and vacation expense savings due to scheduled office closings. Other savings in selling, general and administrative expenses resulted from less promotional spending by Giant Magazine and reduced traffic acquisition costs incurred by our internet division.
 
Corporate selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                  	
$5,199	$17,551	 	$(12,352)	(70.4)%	

Corporate selling, general and administrative expenses consist of expenses associated with maintaining our corporate headquarters and facilities, including personnel. Decreased corporate selling, general and administrative expenses were primarily due to the non-recurrence of compensation costs recorded in April 2008 for new employment agreements for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Founder and Chairperson. Specifically, the prior year’s second quarter included approximately $10.4 million in bonuses for the CEO, of which approximately $5.8 million was paid for a signing and a “make whole” bonus, and another approximately $4.6 million was recorded, but not paid, for a bonus associated with potential distribution proceeds from the Company’s investment in TV One. Reduced corporate selling, general and administrative expenses also resulted from cost reduction initiatives, specifically lower compensation due to salary cuts and lower bonuses, less travel and entertainment spending and vacation benefit savings from scheduled office closings and changes to the Company’s vacation policy. Excluding the approximately $10.4 million recorded in April 2008 for the CEO’s bonuses associated with his new employment agreement, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 27.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

Depreciation and amortization

2009	2008	 	                                               	
$5,259	$5,171	 	$88	1.7%	

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to the depreciation of technology asset additions for CCI, a new studio facility for our Charlotte location and assets acquired from our June 30, 2008 WPRS-FM acquisition.

2009	2008	 	                                                  	
$47	$130	 	$(83)	(63.8)%	

The decrease in interest income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to lower cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term investments and a decline in interest rates.

Interest expense

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                	
$9,033	$15,160	 	$(6,127)	(40.4)%	

The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to early redemptions of the Company’s 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011, and to a lesser extent, more favorable rates and pay downs of outstanding debt on the Company’s credit facility.

Gain on retirement of debt

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                  	
$—	$1,015	 	$(1,015)	(100.0)%	

The gain on retirement of debt for the three months ended June 30, 2008 was due to the repurchase of $8.0 million of the Company’s previously outstanding 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011 at an average discount of 13.5%. There were no notes repurchases during the second quarter of 2009. As of June 30, 2009, an amount of approximately $101.5 million remained outstanding.

Equity in income of affiliated company

2009	2008	 	                                                   	
$747	$29	 	$718	2,475.9%	

Equity in income of affiliated company primarily reflects our estimated equity in the net income of TV One. The increase in equity in income for the three months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to additional net income generated by TV One. The Company’s share of this income is driven by TV One’s current capital structure and the Company’s ownership of the equity securities of TV One that are currently absorbing its net income.

Provision for income taxes

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                     	
$1,777	$9,761	 	$(7,984)	(81.8)%	

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the provision for income taxes decreased to approximately $1.8 million from a tax provision of approximately $9.8 million for the same period in 2008. In prior years, we recorded a deferred tax liability (“DTL”) related to the amortization of indefinite-lived assets that are deducted for tax purposes, but not deducted for book purposes. Also in prior years, the Company generated deferred tax assets (“DTAs”), mainly federal and state net operating loss (“NOLs”) carryforwards. In the fourth quarter of 2007, except for DTAs in its historically profitable filing jurisdictions, and DTAs associated with definite-lived assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for all other DTAs, including NOLs, as it was determined that more likely than not, the DTAs would not be realized. In the first quarter of 2009, an impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangibles was recorded. A portion of this impairment decreased DTLs associated with the indefinite-lived intangibles. The tax benefit of this reduction of the DTLs reduced the effective annual tax rate for 2009.  No impairment was recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 2008. Additionally, the 2008 provision was calculated on an actual basis, while the 2009 provision was calculated using the effective annual tax rate. This change, when combined with the 2009 impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles, resulted in the decrease in taxes.
 
 (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax

Three Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	 	
$(89)	$1,334	 	$(1,423)	(106.7)%	
  
 The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to legal and professional expenses incurred as a result of ongoing legal activity from previous station sales. The gain from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the three months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from the gain on the April 2008 closing on the sale of the assets of radio station WMCU-AM, located in the Miami metropolitan area. (Loss) income from discontinued operations, net of tax, also includes a tax provision of $4,000 for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a tax provision of $351,000 for the same period in 2008.

$130,754	$155,930	 	$(25,176)	(16.1)%	

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recognized approximately $130.8 million in net revenue compared to approximately $155.9 million during the same period in 2008. These amounts are net of agency and outside sales representative commissions, which were approximately $12.9 million during the six months ended 2009, compared to approximately $17.3 million during the same period in 2008. CCI, the social online networking company acquired by the Company, generated approximately $6.2 million in net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to approximately $3.6 million from April 10, 2008 (date of acquisition) through June 30, 2008. Despite increased revenue from CCI, the decrease in net revenue was due primarily to the ongoing poor economic climate which has continued to weaken demand for advertising in general. For our radio business, based on reports prepared by the independent accounting firm Miller Kaplan, the markets we operate in declined 22.6% in total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2009, 23.4% in national revenues and 24.5% in local revenues. While the Company’s total radio net revenue performance outperformed that of the markets in which we operate, nonetheless, we experienced considerable net revenue declines in our larger markets, notably Atlanta, Baltimore, Cleveland, Houston, Raleigh-Durham and Washington, DC. Net revenue declines in these and other markets more than offset a net revenue increase for our syndicated shows, which more than doubled for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. Excluding CCI, net revenue declined 18.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                           	
$39,811	$39,796	 	$15	0.0%	

Programming and technical expenses include expenses associated with on-air talent and the management and maintenance of the systems, tower facilities, and studios used in the creation, distribution and broadcast of programming content on our radio stations. Programming and technical expenses for radio also include expenses associated with our programming research activities and music royalties. Expenses associated with the printing and publication of Giant Magazine issues are also included in programming and technical. For our internet business, programming and technical expenses include software product design, post-application software development and maintenance, database and server support costs, the help desk function, data center expenses connected with ISP hosting services and other internet content delivery expenses. Programming and technical expenses for CCI, which was acquired in April 2008, grew from approximately $1.7 million to $3.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008. This increase was totally offset by several cost reduction initiatives in the radio segment, specifically compensation savings from employee layoffs and salary reductions, contracted on-air talent reductions and lower travel and entertainment spending. Giant Magazine also experienced lower issue related costs during the first half of 2009. Excluding CCI’s expenses, programming and technical expenses decreased 5.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

Selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                              	
$44,879	$52,007	 	$(7,128)	(13.7)%	

Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses associated with our sales departments, offices and facilities and personnel (outside of our corporate headquarters), marketing and promotional expenses, special events and sponsorships and back office expenses. Expenses to secure ratings data for our radio stations and visitors’ data for our websites are also included in selling, general and administrative expenses. In addition, selling, general and administrative expenses for radio and internet include expenses related to the advertising traffic (scheduling and insertion) functions. Selling, general and administrative expenses also include membership traffic acquisition costs for our online business. Our radio division drove approximately $7.7 million in savings, primarily in compensation, specifically commissions and national representative fees due to declining revenue and salaries resulting from employee layoffs and salary cuts. Other radio division savings included less promotional expenses, less travel and entertainment spending and vacation benefit savings from scheduled office closings and changes to the Company’s vacation policy. Giant Magazine generated over approximately $1.3 million in savings, primarily in promotional spending. Selling, general and administrative expenses for CCI, which was acquired in April 2008, increased to approximately $4.3 million, from $1.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period for 2008. Excluding CCI’s expenses, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 19.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

Corporate selling, general and administrative, excluding stock-based compensation

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                               	
$10,332	$23,958	 	$(13,626)	(56.9)%	

Corporate expenses consist of expenses associated with our corporate headquarters and facilities, including personnel. The decrease in corporate expenses during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to the non-recurrence of compensation costs recorded in April 2008 associated with new employment agreements for the Company’s CEO and the Founder and Chairperson. Specifically, the compensation recorded in the second quarter of 2008 included approximately $10.4 million in bonuses for the CEO, of which approximately $5.8 million was for a signing and a “make whole” bonus paid, and another approximately $4.6 million was recorded, but not paid, for a bonus associated with potential distribution proceeds from the Company’s investment in TV One.  Additional corporate selling, general and administrative savings resulted from compensation for salary cuts and lower bonuses and vacation savings from schedule office closings. Reduced corporate selling, general and administrative spending also resulted from lower legal and professional expenses, less consultants and contract labor and less travel and entertainment. Excluding the approximately $10.4 million recorded for the CEO’s bonuses in April 2008, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses decreased 23.2% for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

Stock-based compensation

2009	2008	 	                                                     	
$1,079	$957	 	$122	12.7%	

Stock-based compensation consists of expenses associated with SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment,” which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest. Stock based compensation also includes expenses associated with restricted stock grants. The increase in stock-based compensation for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to additional stock options and restricted stock awards associated with the March and April 2008 employment agreements for the CEO, the Founder and Chairperson and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”).
 
Depreciation and amortization

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                   	
$10,514	$8,835	 	$1,679	19.0%	

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to the acquisition of CCI, which occurred in April 2008, and to a lesser extent, was also driven by the June 2008 acquisition of the assets of WPRS-FM.

Impairment of long-lived assets

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	 Increase/(Decrease) 	
2009	2008	 	                                                     	
$48,953	$—	 	$48,953	—%	

The increase in impairment of long-lived assets for the six months ended June 30, 2009 reflects a non-cash charge recorded for the impairment of radio broadcasting licenses in 11 of our 16 markets, namely Charlotte, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Dallas, Houston, Indianapolis, Philadelphia, Raleigh-Durham, Richmond and St. Louis. The impairment charges were driven by the continuing economic downturn and the further deterioration it caused to the 2009 radio industry outlook, which adversely impacted revenue, profitability and terminal values. As a result, in February 2009, we lowered our financial projections since our 2008 annual and year end fair value assessment, thus, causing the impairment.

Interest income

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                      	
$65	$331	 	$(266)	(80.4)%	

The decrease in interest income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 is primarily due to lower average cash balances, cash equivalents and short-term investments and a decline in interest rates.

Interest expense

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                  	
$19,812	$32,419	 	$(12,607)	(38.9)%	

The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to pay downs on outstanding debt on the Company’s credit facility, early redemptions of the Company’s 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011, and to a lesser extent, more favorable rates, which were favorably impacted by shifting outstanding principal debt from the term to the revolver portion of the credit facility.

Gain on retirement of debt

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                 	
$1,221	$1,015	 	$206	20.3%	

The gain on retirement of debt resulted from the early redemption of the Company’s previously outstanding 87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011. The gain for the six month ended June 30, 2009 resulted from the early redemption of approximately $2.4 million of the senior subordinated notes at an average discount of 50.0%. The gain for the six months ended June 30, 2008 was due to the early redemption of approximately $8.0 million of the senior subordinated notes at an average discount of 13.5%. As of June 30, 2009, an amount of approximately $101.5 million remained outstanding.
 
Equity in income (loss) of affiliated company

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                     	
$1,897	$(2,799)	 	$4,696	167.8%	

Equity in income (loss) of affiliated company primarily reflects our estimated equity in the net income or loss of TV One. The increase in the equity in income for the six months ended June 30, 2009 was due primarily to additional net income generated by TV One. This compares to an equity in loss of affiliated company for the six months ended June 30, 2008, given TV One’s net loss at the time. The Company’s share of the net income or loss is driven by TV One’s current capital structure and the Company’s ownership of the equity securities of TV One that are currently absorbing its net income or losses. 

Provision for income taxes

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                      	
$8,848	$18,659	 	$(9,811)	(52.6)%	

During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the provision for income taxes decreased to approximately $8.8 million from approximately $18.7 million for the same period in 2008. In prior years, we recorded a DTL related to the amortization of indefinite-lived assets that are deducted for tax purposes, but not deducted for book purposes. Also in prior years, the Company generated DTAs, mainly federal and state NOL carryforwards. In the fourth quarter of 2007, except for DTAs in its historically profitable filing jurisdictions, and DTAs associated with definite-lived assets, the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for all other DTAs, including NOLs, as it was determined that more likely than not, the DTAs would not be realized. In the first quarter of 2009, an impairment of certain indefinite-lived intangibles was recorded.  A portion of this impairment decreased DTLs associated with the indefinite-lived intangibles.  The tax benefit of this reduction of the DTLs reduced the effective annual tax rate for 2009.  No impairment was recorded for the six month period ended June 30, 2008.  Additionally, the 2008 provision was calculated on an actual basis, while the 2009 provision was calculated using the effective annual tax rate.  This change, when combined with the 2009 impairment of indefinite-lived intangibles, resulted in the decrease in taxes.
 
Income (Loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	 	
$69	$(6,447)	 	$6,516	101.1%	
  
 The loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2008 resulted from a gain on the April 2008 closing on the sale of the assets of radio station WMCU-AM (formerly WTPS-AM), located in the Miami metropolitan area, which was more than offset by a loss on the May 2008 closing on the sale of the assets of radio station KRBV-FM, located in the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Approximately $5.1 million in impairment charges were recorded for the six months ended June 30, 2008, based on the sale price of the Los Angeles station pursuant to the asset purchase agreement. The income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, also includes a tax provision of $93,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to a provision of approximately $1.2 million for the same period in 2008.

Noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries

Six Months Ended June 30,	 	Increase/(Decrease)	
2009	2008	 	                                                    	
$1,938	$1,881	 	$57	3.0%	

The increase in noncontrolling interests in income of subsidiaries is due to an increase in Reach Media’s net income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared to the same period in 2008.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our primary source of liquidity is cash provided by operations and, to the extent necessary and available, borrowings available under our credit facilities and other debt or equity financing.

 In June 2005, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of banks (the “Credit Agreement”). Simultaneous with entering into the Credit Agreement, the Company borrowed $437.5 million to retire all outstanding obligations under its previous credit agreement. The Credit Agreement was amended in April 2006 and September 2007 to modify certain financial covenants and other provisions. The Credit Agreement expires the earlier of (a) six months prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011 (unless the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes have been repurchased or refinanced prior to such date) or (b) June 30, 2012. The total amount available under the Credit Agreement is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility. Borrowings under the credit facilities are subject to compliance with certain provisions including but not limited to financial covenants. The Company may use proceeds from the credit facilities for working capital, capital expenditures made in the ordinary course of business, its common stock repurchase program, permitted direct and indirect investments and other lawful corporate purposes. The Credit Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants that the Company must comply with, including (a) maintaining an interest coverage ratio of no less than 1.90 to 1.00 from January 1, 2006 to September 13, 2007, and no less than 1.60 to 1.00 from September 14, 2007 to June 30, 2008, and no less than 1.75 to 1.00 from July 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009, and no less than 2.00 to 1.00 from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010, and no less than 2.25 to 1.00 from January 1, 2011 and thereafter, (b) maintaining a total leverage ratio of no greater than 7.00 to 1.00 beginning April 1, 2006 to September 13, 2007, and no greater than 7.75 to 1.00 beginning September 14, 2007 to March 31, 2008, and no greater than 7.50 to 1.00 beginning April 1, 2008 to September 30, 2008, and no greater than 7.25 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2008 to June 30, 2010, and no greater than 6.50 to 1.00 beginning July 1, 2010 to September 30, 2011, and no greater than 6.00 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2011 and thereafter, (c) maintaining a senior leverage ratio of no greater than 5.00 to 1.00 beginning June 13, 2005 to September 30, 2006, and no greater than 4.50 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2006 to September 30, 2007, and no greater than 4.00 to 1.00 beginning October 1, 2007 and thereafter, (d) limitations on liens, (e) limitations on the sale of assets, (f) limitations on the payment of dividends, and (g) limitations on mergers, as well as other customary covenants. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of June 30, 2009. At the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q/A and based on its most recent projections, the Company's management believes it will be in compliance with all debt covenants through June 30, 2010. Based on its fiscal year end 2007 excess cash flow calculation, the Company made a debt principal prepayment of approximately $6.0 million in May 2008. For the year ended December 31, 2008 no excess cash calculation was required and therefore, no payment was required. In March 2009 and May 2009, the Company made prepayments of $70.0 million and $31.5 million, respectively, on the term loan facility based on its excess proceeds calculation which included asset acquisition and disposition activity for the twelve month period ending May 31, 2009.  These prepayments were funded with $70.0 million and $31.5 million in loan proceeds from the revolving facility in March 2009 and May 2009, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2009, the Company borrowed $31.5 million from its revolving credit facility to fund the $31.5 million prepayment of the term loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company borrowed $111.5 million from its revolving credit facility to fund $101.5 million in prepayments of the term loan, and remaining portion was used to repurchase its 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011 and to repurchase Company stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, the Company borrowed approximately $79.0 million from its credit facility and repaid approximately $141.9 million.

As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $182.0 million of borrowing capacity. Taking into consideration the financial covenants under the Credit Agreement, approximately $8.0 million of that amount is available for borrowing. The amount available for borrowing could increase to the extent the funds are used to repurchase the 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes. Both the term loan and the revolving facilities bear interest, at our option, at a rate equal to either (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a spread that ranges from 0.63% to 2.25%, or (ii) the prime rate plus a spread of up to 1.25%. The amount of the spread varies depending on our leverage ratio. The Company also paid a commitment fee that varies depending on certain financial covenants and the amount of unused commitment, up to a maximum of 0.375% per annum on the unused commitment of the revolving facility.

The Credit Agreement requires the Company from time to time to protect ourselves from interest rate fluctuations using interest rate hedge agreements. As a result, the Company has entered into various fixed rate swap agreements designed to mitigate its exposure to higher floating interest rates. These swap agreements require that we pay a fixed rate of interest on the notional amount to a bank and that the bank pays to us a variable rate equal to three-month LIBOR. As of June 30, 2009, we had two swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $50.0 million, and the periods remaining on these two swap agreements range in duration from 11.5 to 35.5 months.

Our credit exposure under the swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance. All of the swap agreements are tied to the three-month LIBOR, which may fluctuate significantly on a daily basis. The valuation of each swap agreement is affected by the change in the three-month LIBOR and the remaining term of the agreement. Any increase in the three-month LIBOR results in a more favorable valuation, while a decrease results in a less favorable valuation.

 	The following table summarizes the interest rates in effect with respect to our debt as of June 30, 2009:	

 Type of Debt	 	Amount Outstanding	 	 	Applicable Interest Rate	 	
 	 	(In millions)	 	 	 	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Senior bank term debt (swap matures June 16, 2010)(1)	 	$	25.0	 	 	 	6.27	%	
Senior bank term debt (swap matures June 16, 2012)(1)	 	$	25.0	 	 	 	6.47	%	
Senior bank term debt (subject to variable interest rates)(2)	 	$	4.0	 	 	 	2.63	%	
Senior bank revolving debt (subject to variable interest rates)(3)	 	$	318.0	 	 	 	2.33	%	
87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (fixed rate)	 	$	101.5	 	 	 	8.88	%	
63/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (fixed rate)	 	$	200.0	 	 	 	6.38	%	
 
(1)	A total of $50.0 million is subject to fixed rate swap agreements that became effective in June 2005. Under our fixed rate swap agreements, we pay a fixed rate plus a spread based on our leverage ratio, as defined in our Credit Agreement. That spread is currently set at 2.00% and is incorporated into the applicable interest rates set forth above.	
 	 	
(2)	Subject to rolling three month LIBOR plus a spread currently at 2.00%, incorporated into the applicable interest rate set forth above.	
 	 	
(3)	Subject to rolling one month LIBOR plus a spread currently at 2.00%, incorporated into the applicable interest rate set forth above.	

The indentures governing our senior subordinated notes require that we comply with certain financial covenants limiting our ability to incur additional debt. Such terms also place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, capital expenditures, transactions with affiliates, consolidation and mergers, and the issuance of equity interests, among other things. Our Credit Agreement also requires compliance with financial tests based on financial position and results of operations, including a leverage ratio, an interest coverage ratio and a fixed charge coverage ratio, all of which could effectively limit our ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement or to otherwise raise funds in the debt market.  The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of June 30, 2009, and as of the date of the filing of this Form 10-Q/A, and based on current projections, the Company believes it will be in compliance with all covenants through June 30, 2010.

      The following table provides a comparison of our statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008:

 	 	2009	 	 	2008	 	
 	 	(In thousands)	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Net cash flows provided from (used in) from operating activities	 	 $	12,861	 	 	 $	(1,936	) 	
Net cash flows (used in) provided from investing activities	 	 $	(2,550	) 	 	 $	74,877	 	
Net cash flows used in financing activities	 	 $	(10,447	)	 	 $	(86,507	)	
 
      Net cash flows provided from operating activities were approximately $12.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash flows used in operating activities of approximately $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Excluding the non-cash impairment charge of approximately $49.0 million, cash flows from operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2009 increased from the prior year due primarily to a decrease in the net consolidated loss for the period of approximately $27.3 million.
 
      Net cash flows used in investing activities were approximately $2.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 compared to net cash flows provided from investing activities of approximately $74.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2008. Capital expenditures, including digital tower and transmitter upgrades, and deposits for station equipment and purchases were approximately $2.3 million and $4.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2008, we sold the stations in our Los Angeles and Miami markets and received proceeds of approximately $150.2 million.  During the same period we acquired CCI and closed on our acquisition of WPRS-FM using approximately $70.4 million in funds.
 
      Net cash flows used in financing activities were approximately $10.4 million and $86.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively, we borrowed $111.5 million and approximately $79.0 million from our credit facility and repaid approximately $110.7 million and $150.9 million in outstanding debt.  During the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we repurchased approximately $2.4 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of our 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due July 2011. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, we repurchased approximately $9.9 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of our Class A and Class D common stock. We paid approximately $3.9 million in dividends to Reach Media’s noncontrolling interest shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2008. The Company did not pay any dividends to Reach Media’s noncontrolling interest shareholders for the six months ended June 30, 2009.

From time to time we consider opportunities to acquire additional radio stations, primarily in the top 50 African-American markets, and to make strategic acquisitions, investments and divestitures. In June 2008, the Company purchased the assets of WPRS-FM, a radio station located in the Washington, DC metropolitan area for approximately $38.0 million.  Since April 2007 and up until closing, the station had been operated under an LMA, and, hence, the results of its operations had been included in the Company’s consolidated financial statements.  The station was consolidated with the Company’s existing Washington, DC operations in April 2007.  This purchase was funded from borrowings under our credit facilities of $35.0 million. In April 2008, we acquired CCI, an online social networking company, for $38.0 million in cash, and we borrowed $34.0 million from our credit facility to close this transaction. Other than our agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation, DIRECTV and other investors to fund TV One (the balance of our commitment was approximately $13.7 million at June 30, 2009) we have no other definitive agreements to acquire radio stations or to make strategic investments. In October 2007, the Company had committed (subject to the completion and execution of requisite legal documentation) to invest in QCP Capital Partners, L.P. (“QCP”). At that time the Company also had agreed to provide an unsecured working capital line of credit to QCP Capital Partners, LLC, the management company for QCP, in the amount of $775,000. As of December 31, 2008, the Company had provided $457,000 under the line of credit. In December 2008, the Company made a determination that there was a substantial likelihood that QCP would not be able to proceed successfully with its fundraising and, therefore, the Company was unlikely to recover any of the amounts provided to QCP Capital Partners, LLC pursuant to the October 2007 line of credit agreement. As a result, in December 2008, the Company wrote off the full amount outstanding under the line of credit agreement. No further investments in, or loans to, QCP are anticipated to be made in the foreseeable future.

We anticipate that any future acquisitions or strategic investments will be financed through funds generated from operations, cash on hand, draws from our existing credit facilities, equity financings, permitted debt financings, debt financings through unrestricted subsidiaries or a combination of these sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if available, will be available on favorable terms.

As of June 30, 2009, we had three standby letters of credit totaling $610,000 in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. In addition, we had a letter of credit of $295,000 in connection with a contract that we inherited as part of the acquisition of CCI. Other than a $40,000 reduction to the insurance letters of credit in April 2009 and the cancelation of a $200,000 letter of credit for a sponsorship event, there has been no activity on these standby letters of credit.
 
Our ability to meet our debt service obligations and reduce our total debt, our ability to refinance the 87/8% Senior Subordinated Notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2011, and our ability to refinance the 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes at or prior to their scheduled maturity date in 2013 will depend upon our future performance which, in turn, will be subject to general economic conditions and to financial, business and other factors, including factors beyond our control. In the next 12 months, our principal liquidity requirements will be for working capital, continued business development, strategic investment opportunities and for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.

The Company continually projects its anticipated cash needs, which include its operating needs, capital requirements, the TV One funding commitment and principal and interest payments on its indebtedness. Management’s most recent operating income and cash flow projections considered the current economic crisis, which has reduced advertising demand in general, as well as the limited credit environment.  Management considered the risks that the current economic conditions may have on its liquidity projections, as well as the Company’s ability to meet its debt covenant requirements. If economic conditions deteriorate unexpectedly to an extent that we could not meet our liquidity needs or it appears that noncompliance with debt covenants is likely to result, the Company would implement several remedial measures, which could include further operating cost and capital expenditure reductions, and further de-leveraging actions, which may include repurchases of discounted senior subordinated notes and other debt repayments. If these measures are not successful in maintaining compliance with our debt covenants, the Company would attempt to negotiate for relief through an amendment with its lenders or waivers of covenant noncompliance, which could result in higher interest costs, additional fees and reduced borrowing limits. There is no assurance that the Company would be successful in obtaining relief from its debt covenant requirements in these circumstances. Failure to comply with our debt covenants and a corresponding failure to negotiate a favorable amendment or waivers with the Company’s lenders could result in the acceleration of the maturity of all the Company’s outstanding debt, which would have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business and financial position.

      Credit Rating Agencies

On a continuing basis, credit rating agencies such as Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) and Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) evaluate our debt. On June 24, 2009, S&P lowered our corporate credit rating to CCC+ from B- and the issue-level rating on our $800.0 million secured credit facility to CCC+ from B-. On March 3, 2009, S&P lowered our corporate credit rating to B- from B and the issue-level rating on our $800.0 million secured credit facility to B- from BB-. While noting that our rating outlook was negative, the ratings downgrade reflects concern over the Company’s ability to maintain compliance with financial covenants due to weak radio advertising demand amid the deepening recession, which S&P expects to persist for all of 2009. On May 12, 2009, Moody’s downgraded our corporate family rating to Caa1 from B1. On November 3, 2008, Moody’s placed on review the Company and its debt for a possible downgrade. The review was prompted by heightened concerns that the radio broadcast sector will likely face significant revenue and cash flow deterioration due to the high probability of further deterioration in the U.S. economy and its impact on advertising revenue. On September 10, 2008, Moody’s downgraded our corporate family rating to B2 from B1 and our $800.0 million secured credit facility ($500.0 million revolver, $300.0 million term loan) to Ba3 from Ba2.  In addition, Moody’s downgraded our 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes and 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes to Caa1 from B3. While noting that our rating outlook was stable, the ratings downgrade reflected the Company’s operating performance, weaker than previously expected credit metrics and limited borrowing capacity under financial covenants.   On February 26, 2008, S&P placed its rating on the Company on credit watch with negative implications.  The credit watch was based on the Company’s narrow margin of covenant compliance as of December 31, 2007 and uncertainty surrounding compliance following impending step-downs in certain covenant ratios. 

Although reductions in our bond ratings may not have an immediate impact on our cost of debt or liquidity, they may impact our future cost of debt and liquidity.  Increased debt levels and/or decreased earnings could result in further downgrades in our credit ratings, which, in turn, could impede our access to the debt markets and/or raise our long-term debt borrowing rates. Our ability to use debt to fund major new acquisitions or new business initiatives could also be limited.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are described in Note 1 of the consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A - Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies. We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, which require us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In Management’s Discussion and Analysis contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008, we summarized the policies and estimates that we believe to be most critical in understanding the judgments involved in preparing our financial statements and the uncertainties that could affect our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Other than the approximately $49.0 million recorded for impairment charges against radio broadcasting licenses during the three month period ended March 31, 2009, there have been no material changes to our accounting policies or estimates since we filed our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008.

 	Stock-Based Compensation	

The Company accounts for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R). Under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), stock-based compensation cost is estimated at the grant date based on the award’s fair value as calculated by the Black-Scholes (“BSM”) valuation option-pricing model and is recognized as expense ratably over the requisite service period.  The BSM incorporates various highly subjective assumptions including expected stock price volatility, for which historical data is heavily relied upon, expected life of options granted, forfeiture rates and interest rates. If any of the assumptions used in the BSM model change significantly, stock-based compensation expense may differ materially in the future from that previously recorded.

 	 Goodwill and Radio Broadcasting Licenses	

We have made several radio station acquisitions in the past for which a significant portion of the purchase price was allocated to goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses. Goodwill exists whenever the purchase price exceeds the fair value of tangible and identifiable intangible net assets acquired in business combinations. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $853.0 million in goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses, which represents approximately 80.0% of our total assets. Therefore, we believe estimating the value of goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses is a critical accounting estimate because of the significance of their values in relation to total assets. In accordance with SFAS No. 142 , “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”  for such assets owned as of October 1, we test annually for impairment during each fourth quarter or when events or circumstances suggest that impairment exists. Asset impairment exists when the carrying value of these assets exceeds their respective fair value. When the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment amount is charged to operations for the excess.

Given the prolonged economic downturn and continual revenue and profitability declines in the radio broadcast industry, the Company performed an interim test for impairment as of February 28, 2009, and recorded impairment charges of approximately $49.0 million for radio broadcasting licenses for the three months ended March 31, 2009. The triggering circumstances for our interim impairment assessment were the continued deteriorating 2009 outlook for the radio industry and its adverse impact on profits and cash flows, resulting lower terminal values and our own lowered internal projections. During the three months ended June 30, 2009, no new or additional impairment indicators existed, hence, no further impairment testing was warranted. There was no impairment charge recorded for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2008 and June 30, 2008, respectively. Impairment charges continue to be a trend experienced by media companies in general, and are not unique to the Company.

When estimating the fair values of radio broadcasting licenses and goodwill, we use the income approach method, which involves a 10-year discounted cash flow model that requires judgmental assumptions about projected revenue growth, future operating margins, discount rates and terminal values. There are inherent uncertainties related to these assumptions and our judgment in applying them to the impairment analysis. While we believe we have made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair values, changes in certain events or circumstances (including events and circumstances resulting from a more prolonged or continued deterioration in the economy) could result in changes to our estimated fair values, and may result in additional write-downs to the carrying values of these assets in the future.

 	Impairment of Intangible Assets Excluding Goodwill and Radio Broadcasting Licenses	

Intangible assets, excluding goodwill and radio broadcasting licenses, are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be fully recoverable. These events or changes in circumstances may include a significant deterioration of operating results, changes in business plans, or changes in anticipated future cash flows. If an impairment indicator is present, we will evaluate recoverability by a comparison of the carrying amount of the assets to future undiscounted net cash flows expected to be generated by the assets. Assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there is identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows generated by other asset groups. If the assets are impaired, the impairment is measured by the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the fair value of the assets determined by estimates of discounted cash flows. The discount rate used in any estimate of discounted cash flows would be the rate required for a similar investment of like risk. We concluded no impairment indicators existed during the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2009 and June 30, 2009, respectively, and accordingly, no impairment recoverability assessment was warranted. However, any changes in certain events or circumstances could result in changes to the estimated fair values of these intangible assets and may result in future write-downs to the carrying values.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We must make estimates of the uncollectability of our accounts receivable. We specifically review historical write-off activity by market, large customer concentrations, customer credit worthiness and changes in our customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In the past four years, including the quarter ended June 30, 2009, our historical bad debt results have averaged approximately 5.3% of our outstanding trade receivables and have been a reliable method to estimate future allowances. If the financial condition of our customers or markets were to deteriorate, adversely affecting their ability to make payments, additional allowances could be required.
 
 	Revenue Recognition	

We recognize revenue for broadcast advertising when the commercial is broadcast and we report revenue net of agency and outside sales representative commissions in accordance with SAB No. 104, Topic 13,  “Revenue Recognition, Revised and Updated.”    When applicable, agency and outside sales representative commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing. Generally, advertisers remit the gross billing amount to the agency or outside sales representative, and the agency or outside sales representative remits the gross billing, less their commission, to us. We recognize revenue for Giant Magazine, mainly advertising, subscriptions and newsstand sales in the month in which a particular issue is available for sale.

CCI, the online social networking company acquired by the Company in April 2008, recognizes its advertising revenue as impressions (the number of times advertisements appear in viewed pages) are delivered, when “click through” purchases or leads are reported, or ratably over the contract period, where applicable.

 	 Equity Accounting	
 
 We account for our investment in TV One under the equity method of accounting in accordance with APB Opinion No. 18, “The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock,”  and other related interpretations. We have recorded our investment at cost and have adjusted the carrying amount of the investment to recognize the change in Radio One’s claim on the net assets of TV One resulting from net income or losses of TV One as well as other capital transactions of TV One using a hypothetical liquidation at book value approach. We will review the realizability of the investment if conditions are present or events occur to suggest that an impairment of the investment may exist. We have determined that although TV One is a variable interest entity (as defined by FIN No. 46(R),  “Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities” ) the Company is not the primary beneficiary of TV One. (See Note 6 -  Investment in Affiliated Company for further discussion.)

 	 Contingencies and Litigation	
 
We regularly evaluate our exposure relating to any contingencies or litigation and record a liability when available information indicates that a liability is probable and estimable. We also disclose significant matters that are reasonably possible to result in a loss, or are probable but for which an estimate of the liability is not currently available. To the extent actual contingencies and litigation outcomes differ from amounts previously recorded, additional amounts may need to be reflected.

 	 Estimate of Effective Tax Rates	

We estimate the provision for income taxes, income tax liabilities, deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances in accordance with SFAS No. 109,  “Accounting for Income Taxes” and FIN No. 18, “Accounting for Income Taxes in Interim Periods.”  We estimate effective tax rates based on local tax laws and statutory rates, apportionment factors, taxable income for our filing jurisdictions and disallowable items, among other factors. Audits by the Internal Revenue Service or state and local tax authorities could yield different interpretations from our own, and differences between taxes recorded and taxes owed per our filed returns could cause us to record additional taxes.

To address the exposures of unrecognized tax positions, in January 2007, we adopted FIN No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Interpretation of SFAS No. 109,”  which recognizes the impact of a tax position in the financial statements if it is more likely than not that the position would be sustained on audit based on the technical merits of the position. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $5.0 million   in unrecognized tax benefits. Future outcomes of our tax positions may be more or less than the currently recorded liability, which could result in recording additional taxes, or reversing some portion of the liability, and recognizing a tax benefit once it is determined the liability is either inadequate or no longer necessary as potential issues get resolved, or as statutes of limitations in various tax jurisdictions close.

Realizability of Deferred Tax Balances

In December 2007, except for DTAs in its historically profitable jurisdictions, and DTAs that may be benefited by future reversing deferred tax liabilities (“DTLs”), the Company recorded a full valuation allowance for all other DTAs, mainly NOLs, as it was determined that more likely than not, the DTAs would not be realized. The Company reached this determination based on its then cumulative loss position and the uncertainty of future taxable income. Consistent with that prior realizability assessment, the Company has recorded a full valuation allowance for additional NOLs generated from the tax deductible amortization of indefinite-lived assets, as well as DTAs created by impairment charges. For remaining DTAs that were not fully reserved, we believe that these assets will be realized within the carryforward period; however, if we do not generate the projected levels of future taxable income in those specific jurisdictions, an additional valuation allowance may need to be recorded in the future.

Fair Value Measurements

Pursuant to SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” the Company has accounted for an award called for in the CEO’s employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) as a derivative instrument. According to the Employment Agreement, which was executed in April 2008, the CEO is eligible to receive an award amount equal to 8% of any proceeds from distributions or other liquidity events in excess of the return of the Company’s aggregate investment in TV One. The Company’s obligation to pay the award will be triggered only after the Company’s recovery of the aggregate amount of its capital contribution in TV One and only upon actual receipt of distributions of cash or marketable securities or proceeds from a liquidity event with respect to the Company’s membership interest in TV One. The CEO was fully vested in the award upon execution of the agreement, and the award lapses upon expiration of the Employment Agreement in April 2011, or earlier, if the CEO voluntarily leaves the Company or is terminated for cause.

The Company uses a third party valuation firm to assist with determining the fair value of the award. As of June 30, 2009, the Company reassessed the award and concluded its fair value remained unchanged from the approximately $4.2 million liability recorded at March 31, 2009. The fair value of the award as of December 31, 2008 was approximately $4.3 million. The fair valuation incorporated a number of assumptions and estimates, including but not limited to TV One’s future financial projections, probability factors and the likelihood of various scenarios that would trigger payment of the award. As the Company will measure changes in the fair value of this award at each reporting period as warranted by certain circumstances, different estimates or assumptions may result in a change to the fair value of the award amount previously recorded.

With the assistance of a third-party valuation firm, the Company assesses the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interest in Reach Media as of the end of each reporting period.  The fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests as of June 30, 2009 was approximately $53.1 million.  The determination of fair value incorporated a number of assumptions and estimates including, but not limited to, forecasted operating results, discount rates and a terminal value.  Different estimates and assumptions may result in a change to the fair value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests amount previously recorded.

  Redeemable noncontrolling interests
 
Noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries that are redeemable outside of the Company’s control for cash or other assets are classified as mezzanine equity and measured at the greater of estimated redemption value at the end of each reporting period or the historical cost basis of the noncontrolling interests adjusted for cumulative earnings allocations.  The resulting increases or decreases in the estimated redemption amount are affected by corresponding charges against retained earnings, or in the absence of retained earnings, additional paid-in-capital.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
        In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168, “The FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTMand the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles: a replacement of FASB Statement No. 162 ,” which became the source of authoritative non-SEC U.S. GAAP for non-governmental entities. SFAS No. 168 is effective for financial statements issued for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of SFAS No. 168 will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 
58

 
        In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165, “Subsequent Events.” SFAS No. 165 addresses accounting and disclosure requirements related to subsequent events. It requires management to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are either issued or available to be issued. Companies are required to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated. SFAS No. 165 is effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009 and should be applied prospectively. Effective for the quarter ended June 30, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 165. The Company has provided the required disclosures regarding subsequent events in Note 15 –  Subsequent Events .
 
    In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. SFAS 107-1 and Accounting Pronouncement Bulletin (“APB”) No. 28-1, “ Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments,”  which amends SFAS No. 107, “ Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments ,” to require disclosures about fair value of financial instruments for interim reporting periods of publicly traded companies, as well as in annual financial statements.  This FSP also amends APB Opinion No. 28 ,  “ Interim Financial Reporting,”  to require those disclosures in summarized financial information at interim reporting periods.  FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 became effective for the Company during the quarter ended June 30, 2009.  The additional disclosures required by FSP No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1 are included in Note 1 –  Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies .

    In April 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 142-3, “Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets,” which amends the guidance in SFAS No. 142,  “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets,”  about estimating the useful lives of recognized intangible assets, and requires additional disclosures related to renewing or extending the terms of recognized intangible assets. FSP No. SFAS 142-3 became effective as of January 1, 2009. The adoption of FSP No. SFAS 142-3 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

    In November 2008, the FASB issued EITF Issue No. 08-6, “Equity Method Investment Accounting Considerations.”  EITF 08-6 discusses the accounting for contingent consideration agreements of an equity method investment and the requirement for the investor to recognize its share of any impairment charges recorded by the investee. EITF 08-6 requires the investor to record share issuances by the investee as if it has sold a portion of its investment with any resulting gain or loss being reflected in earnings. EITF 08-6 was effective for the Company on January 1, 2009. The adoption of EITF 08-6 did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

     In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.”   SFAS No. 161 requires disclosure of the fair value of derivative instruments and their gains and losses in a tabular format.  It also provides for more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk related.  Finally, it requires cross referencing within footnotes to enable financial statement users to locate important information about derivative instruments. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 161. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 161 had no impact on its financial condition or results of operations.  (See Note 7  – Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities .)

    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, “Business Combinations.” SFAS No. 141R replaces SFAS No. 141, and requires the acquirer of a business to recognize and measure the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interests in the acquiree at fair value.  SFAS No. 141R also requires transaction costs related to the business combination to be expensed as incurred. In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP No. SFAS 141R-1,  “Accounting for Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed in a Business Combination That Arise from Contingencies.”  FSP No. 141R-1 amends and clarifies SFAS No. 141R to address application issues associated with initial recognition and measurement, subsequent measurement and accounting, and disclosure of assets and liabilities arising from contingencies in a business combination. Both SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 is effective for business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the January 1, 2009. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1. The Company’s adoption of SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 has had no effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company expects SFAS No. 141R and FSP No. SFAS 141R-1 to have an impact on its accounting for future business combinations, but the effect is dependent upon the acquisitions that are made in the future.
      
    In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160, “Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51.”  This statement amends ARB No. 51 to establish accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  It clarifies that a noncontrolling interests in a subsidiary is an ownership interest in the consolidated entity that should be reported as equity in the consolidated financial statements.  This statement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted SFAS No. 160.  SFAS No. 160 changed the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which is now characterized as noncontrolling interests. SFAS No. 160 required retroactive adoption of the presentation and disclosure requirements for existing minority interests, with all other requirements applied prospectively. Reflected in the December 31, 2008 Form 10-K/A, minority interests on the consolidated balance sheet was approximately $2.0 million.  See Note 2 – Restatement of Consolidated Financial Statements , for a discussion of the Company’s accounting and reporting for its noncontrolling interests.

    In December 2007, the SEC issued SAB No. 110 that modified SAB No. 107 regarding the use of a “simplified” method in developing an estimate of expected term of “plain vanilla” share options in accordance with SFAS No. 123R,  “Share-Based Payment.”  Under SAB No. 107, the use of the “simplified” method was not allowed beyond December 31, 2007. SAB No. 110 allows, however, the use of the “simplified” method beyond December 31, 2007 under certain circumstances. We currently use the “simplified” method under SAB No. 107, and we expect to continue to use the “simplified” method in future periods if the facts and circumstances permit.

 
59

 

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities,”   which permits companies to choose to measure certain financial instruments and other items at fair value that are not currently required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. Effective January 1, 2008, the Company adopted SFAS No. 159, which provides entities the option to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. Entities that choose the fair value option will recognize unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option was elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date. The Company has currently chosen not to elect the fair value option for any items that are not already required to be measured at fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
 
 In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, which provides guidance for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities. The standard also responds to investors’ requests for more information about: (1) the extent to which companies measure assets and liabilities at fair value; (2) the information used to measure fair value; and (3) the effect that fair value measurements have on earnings. SFAS No. 157 will apply whenever another standard requires (or permits) assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. The standard does not expand the use of fair value to any new circumstances. The Company adopted SFAS No. 157 effective January 1, 2008. In February 2008, the FASB issued FSP on Statement 157, “Effective  Date of FASB Statement No. 157,” ( "FSP No. SFAS 157-2").  FSP No. SFAS 157-2 delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities, except those that are recognized or disclosed on a recurring basis, to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008.  Effective January 1, 2009, the Company adopted FSP No. SFAS 157-2. The adoption of FSP No. SFAS 157-2 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

CAPITAL AND COMMERCIAL COMMITMENTS

TV One Cable Network

Pursuant to a limited liability company agreement dated July 18, 2003, the Company and certain other investors formed TV One for the purpose of developing and distributing a new television programming service. At that time, we committed to make a cumulative cash investment in TV One of $74.0 million, of which $60.3 million had been funded as of June 30, 2009. The initial commitment period for funding the capital was extended to October 1, 2009, due in part to TV One’s lower than anticipated capital needs during the initial commitment period.

Long-term debt

The total amount available under our existing Credit Agreement with a syndicate of banks is $800.0 million, consisting of a $500.0 million revolving facility and a $300.0 million term loan facility. As of June 30, 2009, we had approximately $372.0 million in debt outstanding under the Credit Agreement. We also have outstanding $200.0 million 6 3 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2013 and $101.5 million 8 7 / 8 % Senior Subordinated Notes due 2011.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Lease obligations

We have non-cancelable operating leases for office space, studio space, broadcast towers and transmitter facilities that expire over the next 20 years.

Operating Contracts and Agreements

We have other operating contracts and agreements including employment contracts, on-air talent contracts, severance obligations, retention bonuses, consulting agreements, equipment rental agreements, programming related agreements, and other general operating agreements that expire over the next six years.

Reflected in the obligations above, as of June 30, 2009, we had two swap agreements in place for a total notional amount of $50.0 million. The periods remaining on the swap agreements range in duration from 11.5 to 35.5 months.  If we terminate our interest swap agreements before they expire, we will be required to pay early termination fees. Our credit exposure under these agreements is limited to the cost of replacing an agreement in the event of non-performance by our counter-party; however, we do not anticipate non-performance.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2009, we had three standby letters of credit totaling $610,000 in connection with our annual insurance policy renewals. In addition, we had a letter of credit of $295,000 in connection with a contract we inherited as part of the acquisition of CCI.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company’s CEO and Chairperson own a music company called Music One, Inc. (“Music One”). The Company sometimes engages in promoting the recorded music product of Music One. Based on the cross-promotional value received by the Company, we believe that the provision of such promotion is fair. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, Radio One paid $1,000 and $28,000, and $85,000 and $124,000, respectively, to or on behalf of Music One, primarily for market talent event appearances, travel reimbursement and sponsorships. For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2009, the Company provided no advertising services to Music One; however, for the same periods in 2008, the Company provided $15,000 and $61,000, respectively, in advertising services. As of June 30, 2009, Music One owed Radio One $70,000 for office space and administrative services provided in 2008 and 2007.

Item 3:  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
      For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting Radio One, see Item 7A: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A, for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.  Our exposure related to market risk has not changed materially since December 31, 2008.
 
Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures
 
      We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our CEO and CFO concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in timely alerting them to material information required to be included in our periodic SEC reports. Disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
 
      In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide a reasonable level of assurance of reaching our desired disclosure controls objectives. Our management, including our CEO and CFO, has concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective in reaching that level of reasonable assurance.
 
Changes in internal control over financial reporting
 
      During the three months ended June 30, 2009, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
  
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
 
 In November 2001, Radio One and certain of its officers and directors were named as defendants in a class action shareholder complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, captioned, In re Radio One, Inc. Initial Public Offering Securities Litigation, Case No. 01-CV-10160. Similar complaints were filed in the same court against hundreds of other public companies (Issuers) that conducted initial public offerings of their common stock in the late 1990s (“the IPO Cases”). In the complaint filed against Radio One (as amended), the plaintiffs claimed that Radio One, certain of its officers and directors, and the underwriters of certain of its public offerings violated Section 11 of the Securities Act. The plaintiffs’ claim was based on allegations that Radio One’s registration statement and prospectus failed to disclose material facts regarding the compensation to be received by the underwriters, and the stock allocation practices of the underwriters. The complaint also contains a claim for violation of Section 10(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 based on allegations that these omissions constituted a deceit on investors. The plaintiffs seek unspecified monetary damages and other relief.
    
 In July 2002, Radio One joined in a global motion, filed by the Issuers, to dismiss the IPO Lawsuits. In October 2002, the court entered an order dismissing the Company’s named officers and directors from the IPO Lawsuits without prejudice, pursuant to an agreement tolling the statute of limitations with respect to Radio One’s officers and directors until September 30, 2003. In February 2003, the court issued a decision denying the motion to dismiss the Section 11 and Section 10(b) claims against Radio One and most of the Issuers.
 
In July 2003, a Special Litigation Committee of Radio One’s board of directors approved in principle a tentative settlement with the plaintiffs. The proposed settlement would have provided for the dismissal with prejudice of all claims against the participating Issuers and their officers and directors in the IPO Cases and the assignment to plaintiffs of certain potential claims that the Issuers may have against their underwriters. In September 2003, in connection with the proposed settlement, Radio One’s named officers and directors extended the tolling agreement so that it would not expire prior to any settlement being finalized. In June 2004, Radio One executed a final settlement agreement with the plaintiffs. In 2005, the court issued a decision certifying a class action for settlement purposes and granting preliminary approval of the settlement. On February 24, 2006, the Court dismissed litigation filed against certain underwriters in connection with the claims to be assigned to the plaintiffs under the settlement. On April 24, 2006, the Court held a Final Fairness Hearing to determine whether to grant final approval of the settlement. On December 5, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the district court’s earlier decision certifying as class actions the six IPO Cases designated as “focus cases.” Thereafter, the District Court ordered a stay of all proceedings in all of the IPO Cases pending the outcome of plaintiffs’ petition to the Second Circuit for rehearing en banc and resolution of the class certification issue. On April 6, 2007, the Second Circuit denied plaintiffs’ rehearing petition, but clarified that the plaintiffs may seek to certify a more limited class in the district court. Accordingly, the settlement will not be finally approved.
 
Plaintiffs filed amended complaints in the six “focus cases” on or about August 14, 2007. Radio One is not a defendant in the focus cases. In September 2007, Radio One’s named officers and directors again extended the tolling agreement with plaintiffs. On or about September 27, 2007, plaintiffs moved to certify the classes alleged in the “focus cases” and to appoint class representatives and class counsel in those cases. The focus cases issuers filed motions to dismiss the claims against them in November 2007 and an opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for the class certification in December 2007. On March 16, 2008, the court denied the motions to dismiss in the focus cases.  In August 2008, the parties to the IPO Cases began mediation toward a global settlement of the IPO Cases.  In September 2008, Radio One’s board of directors approved in principle participation in a tentative settlement with the plaintiffs.  On October 2, 2008, the plaintiffs withdrew their class certification motion.  In April 2009, a global settlement was reached in the IPO Cases and submitted to the District Court for approval.   On June 9, 2009, the judge presiding over the matter granted preliminary approval to the proposed settlement of the IPO Cases.  A hearing on final approval of the settlement has been scheduled for September 10, 2009.
 
Item 1A.  Risk Factors
 
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2008 (the “2008 Annual Report”), which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in our 2008 Annual Report, as updated by our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q/A, are not the only risks facing our Company.  Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we currently deem to be immaterial, may also materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results. The risk factors set forth below are in addition to those in the 2008 Annual Report.

We are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing of our Class A and Class D common shares.

Our shares of Class A and Class D common stock are currently not in compliance with NASDAQ rules for continued listing and may be at risk of being delisted.  On May 21, 2008, the Company received a letter (the “Notification”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market notifying us that for the prior 30 consecutive trading days, the Company’s Class A common shares (the “Class A Shares”) had not maintained a minimum market value of publicly held shares (“MVPHS”) of $5.0 million as required for continued inclusion by the NASDAQ Global Market Listing Qualifications.  The Company was provided 90 calendar days, or until August 19, 2008, to regain compliance.  On August 26, 2008, Radio One, Inc. announced that it had received approval from the NASDAQ Stock Market to transfer the listing of its Class A Shares from The NASDAQ Global Market to The NASDAQ Capital Market.  The transfer became effective at the opening of business on August 27, 2008 and cured the MVPHS deficiency.  Subsequently, macroeconomic and extraordinary market conditions depressed the trading price of both our Class A and Class D shares below the NASDAQ minimum bid price of $1.00 for 30 consecutive trading days. Thus, both our Class A and Class D shares became at risk for delisting.

However, on October 16, 2008, given the current extraordinary market conditions, NASDAQ suspended both the minimum bid price and MVPHS requirements through January 16, 2009 (the “Temporary Suspension”).  In that regard, on October 16, 2008, NASDAQ filed an immediately effective rule change with the SEC such that companies were not to be cited for any new concerns related to minimum bid price or MVPHS deficiencies.  Due to continued market weakness, NASDAQ extended the Temporary Suspension through July 31, 2009, reinstating the minimum bid price and MVPHS rules on August 3, 2009.  As of the date of this filing, our shares of Class A and Class D common stock remain non-compliant with the NASDAQ minimum bid price of $1.00 per share.  We have identified certain actions we can take to cure the deficiencies, such as the implementation of a reverse stock split if approved by our shareholders at our annual meeting on September 17, 2009.  However, even if the reverse stock split is approved and implemented, there can be no assurance that we will meet the NASDAQ minimum bid price and MVPHS requirements for shares of either our Class A or Class D common stock.  Our failure to meet such requirements may subject us to delisting and could result in decreased liquidity for our Class A and Class D common stock.

Item 2.  Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, we made repurchases of our Class A and Class D common stock pursuant to the $150.0 million stock repurchase program adopted by our board of directors on March 20, 2008.
 
The following table provides information on our repurchases during the three months ended June 30, 2009:

 	 	(a)	 	(b)	 	(c)	 	(d)	
Period	 	Total Number of Shares Purchased (1)	 	Average Price Paid per Share	 	Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	 	Maximum Dollar Value of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs	
April 1, 2009 — June 30, 2009	 	 12,374	Class A	 	$	0.88	 	 	 	 12,374	 	 	 $	 49,991,618	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
April 1, 2009 — June 30, 2009	 	 6,428,632	Class D	 	$	0.47	 	 	 	 6,428,632	 	 	 $	 49,991,618	 	
 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	
Total	 	6,441,006	 	 	 	 	 	 	 	6,441,006	 	 	$	 49,991,618	 	
 
 (1)	In March 2008, the Company’s board of directors authorized a repurchase of shares of the Company’s Class A and Class D common stock through December 31, 2009 of up to $150.0 million, the maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement. The amount and timing of such repurchases will be based on pricing, general economic and market conditions, and the restrictions contained in the agreements governing the Company’s credit facilities and subordinated debt and certain other factors. While $150.0 million is the maximum amount allowable under the Credit Agreement, in 2005 under a prior board authorization, the Company utilized approximately $78.0 million to repurchase common stock leaving capacity of $72.0 million under the Credit Agreement.  During the period ended June 30, 2009, the Company repurchased 12,374 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $0.88 and 6.4 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $0.47. During the period ended June 30, 2008, the Company repurchased 187,369 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $1.39 and 1.9 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $1.33. For the year ended December 31, 2008 the Company repurchased 421,661 shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $1.32 and 20.0 million shares of Class D common stock at an average price of $0.58. As of June 30, 2009, the Company had approximately $50.0 million in capacity available under the 2008 share repurchase program.
