5. | Fair Value Measurement
We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value, which are classified by the FASB Codification within the fair value hierarchy as level 1, 2 or 3, on the basis of whether the measurement employs observable or unobservable inputs. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions and consider information about readily available market participant assumptions.
| ● | Level 1: Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.
| ● | Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets.
| ● | Level 3: Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset, or paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The use of different market assumptions or methodologies could have a material effect on the fair value measurement. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable, prepaid and other current assets, accounts payable, employee compensation and benefits, accrued interest, other accrued expenses and deferred revenue approximate fair value at both December 31, 2023 and 2022. The value of our investments in broadcasting and technology companies are classified as Level 3. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of our long-term debt was $6.2 billion and the fair value was $5.6 billion. As of December 31, 2022, the carrying amount of our long-term debt was $6.5 billion and the fair value was $5.7 billion. Fair value of our long-term debt is based on observable estimates provided by third-party financial service providers and is classified as Level 2.
