Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | 2. ACQUISITIONS: As of June 2011, our remaining Boston radio station was made the subject of a time brokerage agreement (“TBA”), similar in operation to a local marketing agreement (“LMA”), whereby, we have made available, for a fee, air time on this station to another party. On February 3, 2014, the Company executed a new TBA, effective December 1, 2013, for its remaining station in Boston. The TBA has a three-year term, and at the conclusion of the TBA, the Company’s remaining Boston station will be conveyed to Radio Boston Broadcasting, Inc., an affiliate of Pacific Media International, LLC. As a result, that station’s radio broadcasting license was classified as a long-term other asset as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and is being amortized through the anticipated conveyance date. On October 20, 2011, we entered into a TBA with WGPR, Inc. (“WGPR”). Pursuant to the TBA, beginning October 24, 2011, we began to broadcast programs produced, owned or acquired by Radio One on WGPR’s Detroit radio station, WGPR-FM. We pay certain operating costs of WGPR-FM, and in exchange we retain all revenues from the sale of the advertising within the programming we provide. The original term of the TBA was through December 31, 2014; however, in September 2014, we entered into an amendment to the TBA to extend the term of the TBA through December 31, 2019. Under the terms of the TBA, WGPR has also granted us certain rights of first negotiation and first refusal, with respect to the sale of WGPR-FM by WGPR and with respect to any potential time brokerage agreement for WGPR-FM covering any time period subsequent to the term of the TBA. On December 31, 2012, the Company, through its wholly-owned subsidiary Radio One Media Holdings, LLC (“ROMH”), completed the purchase of additional shares of Reach Media from certain of its minority shareholders. In addition to $2.0 million in cash consideration paid to increase the Company’s ownership in Reach Media from approximately 53.5% to 80%, effective January 1, 2013, the radio broadcasting segment contributed the assets and operations of its Syndication One urban programming line-up to Reach Media. We consolidated our syndication operations within Reach Media to leverage that platform to create the leading syndicated radio network targeted to the African-American audience. On February 27, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of Gaffney Broadcasting, Incorporated (“Gaffney”), which consisted of an AM and FM station (WOSF-FM) in the Charlotte market. Total consideration paid for the two stations was approximately $7.7 million, which included a deposit that was paid in a prior period. In connection with the acquisition, the Company added Gaffney as a party to the agreements governing its outstanding notes and its senior credit facility. At the February 27, 2014 acquisition date, the AM station assets were classified as assets held for sale in the amount of $225,000. On March 31, 2014, the AM station assets held for sale were sold for $225,000. The Company’s purchase accounting to reflect the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed consisted of approximately $426,000 to fixed assets, $7.0 million to radio broadcasting licenses, $2.7 million to goodwill, $44,000 to other definite-lived intangible assets and $2.7 million to deferred tax liabilities. On December 17 2014, the Company acquired certain assets of GG Digital, Inc., including the website and brand Global Grind. The Global Grind website and brand will be integrated into Interactive One. Total consideration paid was approximately $2.0 million. The Company’s preliminary purchase accounting to reflect the fair value of assets acquired consisted of approximately $900,000 to content, $606,000 to goodwill, $446,000 to brand, $29,000 to mobile software application and $11,000 to trademarks, trade names and domain names.
