<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On March&nbsp;21, 2003, Entercom Communications Corp. (the "Company") completed its previously announced acquisition of one radio station in the Denver Colorado
radio market (KQMT-FM) from Tribune Broadcasting Company ("Tribune") for $55&nbsp;million. The purchase price of $55&nbsp;million paid by the Company was determined through arm's
length negotiations between unrelated parties and was paid from cash on hand. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On
December&nbsp;24, 2001, the Company entered into an Option Agreement with Tribune for the purchase of three radio stations in the Denver radio market for an aggregate purchase price
of approximately $180&nbsp;million. On May&nbsp;8, 2002, the Option Agreement was amended to facilitate the exercise of the option with respect to the closing of KOSI-FM and
KEZW-AM for $125&nbsp;million and to permit, upon the Company's exercise of the option, the subsequent closing of the third Denver radio station, KQMT-FM (formerly
KKHK-FM), for $55&nbsp;million. The closing of KOSI-FM and KEZW-AM was completed on July&nbsp;24, 2002 and the information related to this transaction was
contained in the Company's Current Report on Form&nbsp;8-K, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August&nbsp;7, 2002. </FONT></P>
