Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations | Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations Radio Divestiture In the fourth quarter of 2017, we began the process to divest our radio business. Our radio business consisted of 34 radio stations in eight markets. We closed on the sale of our Tulsa radio stations on October 1, 2018, closed on the sales of our Milwaukee, Knoxville, Omaha, Springfield and Wichita radio stations on November 1, 2018 and closed on the sales of our Boise and Tucson radio stations on December 12, 2018. We have reported its results as discontinued operations for the years ended 2017 and 2018. Operating results of our radio operations included in discontinued operations were as follows:

Results of discontinued operations in 2018 and 2017 included $25.9 million and $8.0 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges to write-down the goodwill of our radio business to fair value. The income tax provision for discontinued operations was impacted by non-deductible charges of $30.9 million in 2018 and $8.0 million in 2017. We also entered into separate Local Marketing Agreements (“LMA”) with the acquirer of the Tulsa radio stations and the acquirer of the Wichita, Springfield, Omaha, and Knoxville radio stations. Under the terms of these agreements, the acquiring entities paid us a monthly LMA fee and also reimbursed us for certain station expenses, as defined in the agreements, in exchange for the right to program and sell advertising from the stations' inventory of broadcast time. The LMA with the acquirer of the Tulsa radio stations was effective from July 30, 2018 until the closing of the transaction. The other LMA was effective from September 1, 2018 until closing of the transactions. Discontinued operating revenues included LMA fees totaling $2.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
