(b)Broadcast and digital operating income: The broadcasting industry commonly refers to “station operating income” which consists of net loss before depreciation and amortization, income taxes, interest expense, interest and investment income, non-controlling interests in income of subsidiaries, other income, net, loss from unconsolidated joint venture, corporate selling, general and administrative expenses, stock-based compensation, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, and (gain) loss on retirement of debt. However, given the diverse nature of our business, station operating income is not truly reflective of our multi-media operation and, therefore, we use the term “broadcast and digital operating income.” Broadcast and digital operating income is not a measure of financial performance under GAAP. Nevertheless, broadcast and digital operating income is a significant measure used by our management to evaluate the operating performance of our core operating segments. Broadcast and digital operating income provides helpful information about our results of operations, apart from expenses associated with our fixed assets and goodwill and intangible assets, income taxes, investments, impairment charges, debt financings and retirements, corporate overhead, and stock-based compensation. Our measure of broadcast and digital operating income is similar to industry use of station operating income; however, it reflects our more diverse business and therefore is not completely analogous to “station operating income” or other similarly titled measures as used by other companies. Broadcast and digital operating income does not represent operating income or loss, or cash flow from operating activities, as those terms are defined under GAAP, and should not be considered as an alternative to those measurements as an indicator of our performance.

On February 7, 2022, the RMLC and GMR reached a settlement and achieved certain conditions which effectuate a four-year license to which the Company is a party for the period April 1, 2022, to March 31, 2026. The license includes an optional three-year extended term that the Company has opted into. On August 19, 2025, the RMLC announced that it had settled litigation with BMI and ASCAP concerning licensing arrangements and that the settlement has led to new license agreements for members organizations. Both agreements are retroactive to January 1, 2022, and run through December 31, 2029. Each of the new BMI and ASCAP licenses maintain the same percentage-of-revenue license fee structure of the prior licensing arrangements and continue to provide for broad coverage of over-the-air programming, as well as simulcast/website transmissions of podcasts/archived content. While the percentage rates in the new licensing arrangements are higher than the old rates, they are lower than the rates sought by each of BMI and ASCAP in the now-settled litigation. The rate increase resulted in additional expense of approximately $3.1 million for the historical periods under settlement, which is included in programming and technical expenses on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively.

This agreement established a 4-year license running from April 1, 2022 to March 31, 2026. The license includes an optional 3-year extended term that the Company has opted into with the agreement now running through March 31, 2029. On August 19, 2025, the RMLC announced that it had settled litigation with BMI and ASCAP concerning licensing arrangements and that the settlement has led to new license agreements for members organizations. Both agreements are retroactive to January 1, 2022, and run through December 31, 2029. Each of the new BMI and ASCAP licenses maintain the same percentage-of-revenue license fee structure of the prior licensing arrangements and continue to provide for broad coverage of over-the-air programming, as well as simulcast/website transmissions of podcasts/archived content. While the percentage rates in the new licensing arrangements are higher than the old rates, they are lower than the rates sought by each of BMI and ASCAP in the now-settled litigation.
