An interim goodwill impairment evaluation was performed on each reporting unit as of September 30, 2018. After considering all quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company has determined that it is more likely than not that the reporting units' fair values exceed carrying values as of the period end.

Through the deconsolidation of 704Games in the third quarter of 2018, $1.8 million of goodwill was deconsolidated. See Note 4. Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Deconsolidations, for additional detail regarding our acquisitions and dispositions.

Through the sale of BeneVir, $6.4 million of developed technology were sold to a third party. See Note 4. Acquisitions, Dispositions, and Deconsolidations for additional detail regarding our acquisitions and dispositions.

The Broadcasting segment strategically acquires assets across the United States, which results in the recording of FCC licenses. Providing the Company acts within the requirements and constraints of the regulatory authorities, the renewal and extension of these licenses is reasonably certain at minimal costs. Accordingly, we have concluded that the acquired FCC licenses are indefinite-lived intangible assets.

In 2018, FCC licenses and channel sharing arrangements increased $43.5 million, $44.2 million through acquisitions, offset by $0.6 million of measurement period adjustments and $0.1 million of impairments, driven by licenses dismissed by the FCC.
