(1) Includes the allocation of goodwill relating to the reclassification of the portion of the Company's CTV offering previously within the Digital reportable segment to our Cable Television reportable segment. See Note 12 - Segment Information for information on this segment reclassification. As of May 31, 2025, an overall decline in revenue and operating profit margin created a triggering event indicating the fair value of the Company's Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media and Digital reportable units were more likely than not to be less than its carrying value. Therefore, the Company performed interim quantitative assessments at ten of the reporting units containing goodwill. During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recorded impairment losses of approximately $4.9 million and $3.9 million to reduce the carrying value of our Digital and Radio Broadcasting reporting units goodwill balances, respectively. Radio Broadcasting Licenses As of May 31, 2025, the Company's projected gross market revenues and operating profit margin declined in the Radio Broadcasting segment creating a triggering event indicating that the fair value of certain of the Company’s radio broadcasting licenses were more likely than not to be less than its carrying value. To determine the fair value of the broadcasting licenses, the Company utilized the income approach which values a license by calculating the value of a hypothetical startup company that initially has no assets except the asset to be valued (the broadcasting license). The Company performed a discounted cash flow analysis for broadcasting licenses across relevant radio markets. The key assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analysis for broadcasting licenses include market revenue and projected revenue growth by market, mature market share, operating profit margin, and discount rate. Based on this analysis, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $121.3 million associated with twelve radio markets within the Radio Broadcasting segment, included in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2025. During the six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company recognized impairment loss of approximately $127.8 million within the Radio Broadcasting segment, included in impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Below are the key assumptions used in the income approach model for estimating the fair value of the broadcasting licenses for the twelve radio markets in the most recent interim impairment assessment performed as of June 30, 2025.
Radio Broadcasting Licenses | June 30, 2025
Discount rate | 9.5%
Revenue growth rate range | (3.2)% - 0.3%
Mature market share range | 0.8% - 33.0%
Operating profit margin range | 0.8% - 30.0%
Due to industry and macro-economic conditions along with ongoing declines in national and local radio listenership, and forecasted cash flows for Radio Broadcasting, the Company reassessed the useful life for the broadcasting licenses. As a result of the reassessment, the Company concluded the useful life should change from indefinite-lived to finite-lived intangible assets effective June 1, 2025. The Company has adopted an accelerated amortization method and will amortize the assets with a carrying value of $129.9 million over a range of 9 to 18-year period This was considered a change in estimate, was accounted for prospectively, and resulted in amortization expense of $1.3 million included in depreciation and amortization, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. The following table presents the changes in the Company’s radio broadcasting licenses carrying value during the six months ended June 30, 2025.
| (In thousands)
Balance as of January 1, 2025 | $ | 257,759 |
Impairment charges | (127,772) |
Amortization expense | (1,282) |
Balance as of June 30, 2025 | $ | 128,705 |
Future estimated amortization expense related to the broadcasting licenses for the years 2025 through 2030, and thereafter, is as follows:
| (In thousands)
Remainder of 2025 | $ | 7,691 |
2026 | 14,785 |
2027 | 13,762 |

2029 | 11,717 |
2030 | 10,698 |
Thereafter | 57,312 |
TV One Trade Name Due to industry and macro-economic conditions along with ongoing subscriber churn, and forecasted cash flows for TV One, the Company reassessed the useful life for the trade name TV One (the “TV One Trade Name”). As a result of the reassessment, the Company concluded the useful life should change from indefinite-lived to a finite-lived intangible asset effective January 1, 2025. The Company has adopted an accelerated amortization method and started to amortize this asset with a carrying value of $26.6 million as of January 1, 2025 over a 20-year period. This was considered a change in estimate, was accounted for prospectively, and resulted in amortization expense of $0.6 million and $1.3 million included in depreciation and amortization, on the unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. Future estimated amortization expense related to the TV One Trade Name for the years 2025 through 2030 and thereafter is as follows:
| (In thousands)
Remainder of 2025 | $ | 1,266 |
2026 | 2,407 |
2027 | 2,280 |
2028 | 2,153 |
2029 | 2,027 |
2030 | 1,900 |
Thereafter | 13,300 |
