Competition
The radio broadcasting industry is highly competitive. The success of each of the Company's stations depends largely upon its audience ratings and its share of the overall advertising revenue within its market. The Company's audience ratings and advertising revenue are subject to change, and any adverse change in a particular market affecting advertising expenditures or an adverse change in the relative market positions of the stations located in a particular market could have a material adverse effect on the revenue of the Company's radio stations located in that market. There can be no assurance that any one of the Company's radio stations will be able to maintain or increase its current audience ratings or advertising revenue market share.

Business Plan
The Company's primary strategy is to secure and maintain a leadership position in the markets it serves and to expand into additional mid-sized markets where it believes a leadership position can be obtained.

Use of Proceeds
The proceeds from the proposed offering will be used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the credit facility.
