Leases [Abstract] |
LEASES | LEASES The Company enters into operating lease contracts for land, buildings, structures and other equipment. Arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements contain a lease. Operating leases primarily include land and building lease contracts and leases of radio towers. Arrangements to lease building space consist primarily of the rental of office space, but may also include leases of other equipment, including automobiles and copiers. Operating leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet within Operating lease right-of-use assets ("ROU assets") and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within Current and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively. The Company's finance leases are included within Property, plant and equipment with the related liabilities included within Long-term debt. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. On September 29, 2023, the Company completed the sale of 122 of our broadcast tower sites and related assets for $45.3 million and entered into operating leases for the use of space on 121 of the broadcast tower sites and related assets sold. The Company realized a net loss of $3.2 million on the sale, which was recorded in Other Operating Expense, net in the Statement of Comprehensive Loss. The leases are for an initial term of ten years and include four optional five-year renewal periods. In connection with the transaction, the Company recorded ROU assets and lease liabilities with aggregate values of $26.3 million related to these leases. The Company tests for impairment of assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $0.6 million and $6.1 million, respectively, due to changes in sublease assumptions for ROU assets related to certain operating leases for which management has made proactive decisions to abandon and sublease in connection with strategic actions to streamline the Company’s real estate footprint. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, there were no non-cash impairment charges related to leasehold improvements. During the three months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $7.6 million, including $7.1 million related to ROU assets and $0.5 million related to leasehold improvements. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $9.2 million, including $8.5 million related to ROU assets, and $0.7 million related to leasehold improvements. These charges were primarily to streamline the Company's real estate footprint. The implicit rate within the Company's lease agreements is generally not determinable. As such, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC 842, is "the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment." The following table provides supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the periods presented:
| Nine Months Ended September 30,
(In thousands) | 2023 |  | 2022
Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of operating lease liabilities | $ | 104,784 |  |  | $ | 109,158 |

(1) Lease liabilities from obtaining right-of-use assets include new leases entered into during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company reflects changes in the lease liability and changes in the ROU asset on a net basis in the Statements of Cash Flows. The operating lease expense was $50.9 million and $65.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
