BUSINESS The discussion of the business of Entravision Communications Corporation and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, or Entravision, is as of the date of filing this report, unless otherwise indicated. Introduction Overview Entravision is a diversified media company serving Hispanic audiences primarily throughout the United States and the border markets of Mexico with a combination of television, radio and digital media properties. We believe that we are the largest independent public media company focused principally on the U.S. Hispanic audience. We own and/or operate 58 primary television stations located primarily in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Washington, D.C. Entravision is the largest affiliate group of both the top-ranked Univision television network and Univision’s UniMás network, with television stations in 20 of the nation’s top 50 U.S. Hispanic markets. Univision’s primary network is the most watched television network (English- or Spanish-language) among U.S. Hispanic households during primetime. Univision is a key source of programming for our television broadcasting business and we consider it to be a valuable strategic partner of ours. For a more complete discussion of our relationship with Univision, please see “Our Relationship with Univision” and “Television – Television Programming” below and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview”; and for a discussion of various risks related to our relationship with Univision, please see “Risk Factors.” We own and operate one of the largest groups of primarily Spanish-language radio stations in the United States. We own and operate 49 radio stations in 19 U.S. markets. Our radio stations consist of 38 FM and 11 AM stations located in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. We also own and operate a national sales representation firm, Entravision Solutions, through which we sell advertisements and syndicate radio programming to approximately 350 stations across the United States. We also own and operate an online advertising platform that delivers digital advertising in a variety of formats to reach Hispanics audiences on Internet-connected devices. We generate revenue primarily from sales of national and local advertising time on television stations, radio stations and digital media platforms, and from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with Multichannel Video Programming Distributors, or MVPDs. Advertising rates are, in large part, based on each medium’s ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. We recognize advertising revenue when commercials are broadcast and when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the websites of our third party publishers. We do not obtain long-term commitments from our advertisers and, consequently, they may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalties. We pay commissions to agencies for local, regional and national advertising. For contracts directly with agencies, we record net revenue from these agencies. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in our industry and are due primarily to variations in advertising expenditures by both local and national advertisers. Our first fiscal quarter generally produces the lowest net revenue for the year. In addition, advertising revenue is generally higher during presidential election years (2016, 2020, etc.) resulting from political advertising. We refer to the revenue generated by agreements with MVPDs as retransmission consent revenue, which represents payments from MVPDs for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. We recognize retransmission consent revenue when it is accrued pursuant to the agreements we have entered into with respect to such revenue. Our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was approximately $242.0 million. Of this amount, revenue generated by our television segment accounted for approximately 68%, revenue generated by our radio segment accounted for approximately 29%, and revenue generated by our digital segment accounted for approximately 3% of the total. Our primary expenses are employee compensation, including commissions paid to our sales staff and amounts paid to our national representative firms, as well as expenses for marketing, promotion and selling, technical, local programming, engineering, and general and administrative. Our local programming costs for television consist primarily of costs related to producing a local newscast in most of our markets. Our principal executive offices are located at 2425 Olympic Boulevard, Suite 6000 West, Santa Monica, California 90404, and our telephone number is (310) 447-3870. Our corporate website is www.entravision.com. 4 We were organized as a Delaware limited liability company in January 1996 to combine the operations of our predecessor entities. On August 2, 2000, we completed a reorganization from a limited liability company to a Delaware corporation. On August 2, 2000, we also completed an initial public offering of our Class A common stock, which is listed on The New York Stock Exchange under the trading symbol “EVC.” Business Strategy Our strategy is to reach Hispanic audiences primarily throughout the United States and the border markets of Mexico. We operate media properties in 14 of the 20 highest-density U.S. Hispanic markets. In addition, among the top 25 U.S. Hispanic markets, we operate media properties in 10 of the 15 fastest-growing markets. We believe that targeting the U.S. Hispanic market will translate into revenue growth in the future, including for the following reasons: (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) (cid:120) U.S. Hispanic Population Growth. Our audience consists primarily of Hispanics, one of the fastest-growing segments of the U.S. population and, by current U.S. Census Bureau estimates, now the largest minority group in the United States. Almost 54 million Hispanics live in the United States, accounting for over 17% of the total U.S. population. The overall Hispanic population is growing at over eight times the rate of the non-Hispanic population and is expected to grow to 84 million, or approximately 22% of the total U.S. population, by 2032. Approximately 50% of the total future growth in the U.S. population through 2032 is expected to come from the Hispanic community. Spanish-Language Use. Approximately 75% of Hispanics age five and over in the United States speak some Spanish at home. The number of U.S. Hispanics that speak some Spanish at home is expected to grow from 34.3 million in 2010 to 56.6 million in 2030. Increasing U.S. Hispanic Buying Power. The U.S. Hispanic population is estimated to have accounted for total consumer expenditures of over $911 billion in 2012, the most recent year for which such information is available. Hispanics are expected to account for over $1 trillion in consumer expenditures by 2017, and by 2027 Hispanics are expected to account for approximately $2 trillion in consumer expenditures, or 14% of total U.S. consumer spending. Hispanic buying power is expected to grow at nearly three times the rate of the Hispanic household population growth by 2032. Attractive Profile of U.S. Hispanic Consumers. We believe that the demographic profile of the U.S. Hispanic audience makes it attractive to advertisers. We also believe that the larger average size and younger average age of Hispanic households (averaging 3.4 persons and 30.0 years of age as compared to the U.S. non-Hispanic averages of 2.4 persons and 42.3 years of age) lead Hispanics to spend more per household on many categories of goods and services. Although the average U.S. Hispanic household has less disposable income than the average U.S. household, the average U.S. Hispanic household spends 5% more per year than the average U.S. non-Hispanic household on food at home, 17% more on quick service restaurants, 66% more on children’s clothing, 42% more on footwear, 34% more on laundry and household cleaning products and 21% more on mobile telephones. We expect Hispanics to continue to account for a disproportionate share of growth in spending nationwide in many important consumer categories as the U.S. Hispanic population and its disposable income continue to grow. Spanish-Language Advertising. Over $8.3 billion of total advertising expenditures in the United States were placed with Spanish-language media in 2013, the most recent year for which such data is available, of which approximately 79% was placed with Spanish-language television and radio advertising. We seek to increase our revenue through the following strategies: Develop Unique and Compelling Content and Strong Brands While Effectively Using the Brands of Our Network Affiliates. We make substantial investments in areas such as market research, data analysis and creative talent to license and create content for our television, radio and digital media properties that is relevant and has a meaningful impact on the communities we serve. We are the largest affiliate group of both the top-ranked Univision primary television network and Univision’s UniMás network. According to Univision, its primary network beat one or more of the English-language broadcast networks on 92% of the first 25 nights of the November 2014 sweeps period among adults 18-34 years of age, and 76% of nights among adults 18-49 years of age. Univision’s primary network, together with its UniMás network, represented approximately a 65% share of the U.S. Spanish-language network television prime time audience of persons 2+ years of age as of May 2014. Univision makes its networks’ Spanish-language programming available to our television stations 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including a prime time schedule on its primary network of substantially all first-run programming throughout the year. We believe that the breadth and diversity of Univision’s programming, combined with our local news and community-oriented segments, provide us with an advantage over other Spanish- language and English-language broadcasters in reaching U.S. Hispanic viewers. Our local content is designed to brand each of our stations as the best source for relevant community information that accurately reflects local interests and needs. 5 We format the programming of our radio networks and radio stations in an effort to capture a substantial share of the U.S. Hispanic audience in each of our radio markets. We operate each of our three radio networks using a format designed to appeal to different listener tastes. In markets where competing stations already offer programming similar to our network formats, or where we otherwise identify an available niche in the marketplace, we run alternative programming that we believe will appeal to local listeners. Develop Local Content, Programming and Community Involvement. We believe that local content and service to the community in each of our markets is an important part of building our brand identity within those markets. By combining our local news, local content and quality network programming, we believe that we have a significant competitive advantage. We also believe that our active community involvement, including station remote broadcasting appearances at client events, concerts and tie-ins to major events, helps to build station awareness and identity as well as viewer and listener loyalty. Distribute News and Other Content Across Our Television, Radio and Digital Media Properties. We develop our own news, entertainment and lifestyle content and radio shows including “Erazno y La Chokolata”, and produce a Sunday morning political talk show, “Perspectiva Nacional”. We also employ our own White House correspondent in Washington, D.C. We distribute this content across our television, radio and digital media properties. In addition, through Entravision Solutions, a division of our company, we syndicate certain of our radio shows including “Erazno y La Chokolata” and other programs including “El Show de Piolin” and “El Show de Alex ‘El Genio’ Lucas” across a network of approximately 350 radio stations, which includes our radio stations as well as other radio stations that we do not own or operate, in 105 markets throughout the United States. Extend the Reach and Relevance of Our Brands Through Digital Platforms. In recent years, we have also enhanced the distribution of our content through digital platforms, such as the Internet and mobile phones. We believe these digital platforms offer excellent opportunities to further enhance the relationships we have with our audiences by allowing them to engage and share our content in new ways and providing us with new distribution channels for one-to-one communication with them. Continuing to Offer Advertisers an Integrated Platform of Services. We believe that our uniquely diversified media portfolio provides us with a competitive advantage in targeting the Hispanic consumer. We offer advertisers the opportunity to reach potential customers through an integrated platform of services that includes television, radio and digital media properties. Currently, we operate some combination of television and radio in 11 markets, which we sometimes refer to as combination markets, and, where possible, we also combine our television and radio operations to create synergies and achieve cost savings. Continuing to Innovate and Invest in Technology and Data. We intend to continue to make investments in our digital media platforms, sales tools and research and development to further increase the efficiency and effectiveness of our television, radio and digital media advertising platforms. Target Strategic Acquisitions and Investments. We plan to continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary businesses and technologies that are consistent with our overall growth strategy. We believe that our knowledge of, and experience with, the U.S. Hispanic marketplace will enable us to identify acquisitions of television, radio and digital media properties. Since our inception, we have used our management expertise, programming, local involvement and brand identity to improve our acquired media properties and audience reach. However, we are currently subject to certain limitations on acquisitions under the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Acquisition and Disposition Strategies Historically, our acquisition strategy has been focused on increasing our presence in those markets in which we already compete, as well as expanding our operations into U.S. Hispanic markets where we do not own properties. We have targeted fast- growing and high-density U.S. Hispanic markets. These have included many markets in the southwestern United States, including Texas, California and various other markets along the United States/Mexican border. In addition, we have pursued other acquisition opportunities in key strategic markets, or those which otherwise supported our long-term growth plans. One of our goals has been to create and grow our combination markets, featuring both Univision and UniMás television stations, together with a strong radio presence and digital media properties. We believe that these combination markets provide unique cross- selling and cross-promotional opportunities, making Entravision an attractive option for advertisers wishing to reach the U.S. Hispanic consumer. Accordingly, in addition to targeting media properties in U.S. Hispanic markets where we do not own media properties, we have focused on potential acquisitions of additional media properties in our existing markets that will enhance our offerings to the U.S. Hispanic marketplace. In addition, we plan to continue to evaluate opportunities to acquire complementary businesses and technologies that are consistent with our overall growth strategy. 6 We are subject to certain limitations on acquisitions under the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement. We cannot at this time determine the effect that these limitations will have on our acquisition strategy or our overall business. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources”. In addition, we periodically review our portfolio of media properties and, from time to time, seek to divest non-core assets in markets where we do not see the opportunity to grow to scale and build out clusters. We are subject to certain limitations on divestitures under the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement. We cannot at this time determine the effect that these limitations will have on our disposition strategy or our overall business. Please see “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources”. We have a history of net losses in some years and net income in other years that may impact, among other things, our ability to implement our growth strategies. We had net income of approximately $27.1 million, $133.8 million and $13.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our Relationship with Univision Substantially all of our television stations are Univision- or UniMás-affiliated television stations. Our network affiliation agreements, as amended, with Univision provide certain of our owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast Univision’s primary network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. These long-term affiliation agreements each expire in 2021, and can be renewed for multiple, successive two-year terms at Univision’s option, subject to our consent. Under our Univision network affiliation agreement, we retain the right to sell approximately six minutes per hour of the available advertising time on Univision’s primary network, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision, but in no event less than four minutes. Under our UniMás network affiliation agreement, we retain the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time the UniMás network, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision. Under the network affiliation agreements, Univision acts as our exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of national advertising on our Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations, and we pay certain sales representation fees to Univision relating to sales of all advertising for broadcast on our Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations. We also generate revenue under two marketing and sales agreements with Univision, which give us the right through 2021 to manage the marketing and sales operations of Univision-owned UniMás and Univision affiliates in six markets – Albuquerque, Boston, Denver, Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. In August 2008, we entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which we granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years, expiring in December 2014, which Univision and we have extended through March 31, 2015. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to us by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with MVPDs. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, retransmission consent revenue accounted for approximately $26.4 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The term of the proxy agreement extends with respect to any MVPD for the length of the term of any retransmission consent agreement in effect before the expiration of the proxy agreement. It is our current intention to negotiate with Univision an extension of the current proxy agreement or a new proxy agreement; however, no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any such extension or new agreement or that any such extension or new agreement will be entered into. Univision currently owns approximately 10% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis. Our Class U common stock held by Univision has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors. As the holder of all of our issued and outstanding Class U common stock, so long as Univision holds a certain number of shares, we may not, without the consent of Univision, merge, consolidate or enter into another business combination, dissolve or liquidate our company or dispose of any interest in any Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, license for any of our Univision-affiliated television stations, among other things. Each share of Class U common stock is automatically convertible into one share of Class A common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or combinations) in connection with any transfer to a third party that is not an affiliate of Univision. 7 Overview Television We own and/or operate Univision-affiliated television stations in 24 markets, including 20 of the top 50 Hispanic markets in the United States. Our television operations are the largest affiliate group of the Univision networks. Univision’s primary network is the leading Spanish-language network in the United States, reaching approximately 97% of all U.S. Hispanic households, and is the most watched television network (English- or Spanish-language) among U.S. Hispanic households during prime time. Univision’s primary network, together with its UniMás network, represent approximately a 65% share of the U.S. Spanish-language network television prime time audience of persons 2+ years of age as of May 2014. We operate both Univision and UniMás affiliates in 20 of our 24 television markets. Univision’s networks make their Spanish-language programming available to our Univision-affiliated stations 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Univision’s prime time schedule on its primary network consists of substantially all first-run programming throughout the year. Television Programming Univision Primary Network Programming. Univision directs its programming primarily toward a young, family-oriented audience. It begins daily with Despierta America, a drama show and another talk show, Monday through Friday, followed by novelas. In the late afternoon and early evening, Univision offers an entertainment magazine, a news magazine and national news, in addition to local news produced by our television stations. During prime time, Univision airs novelas, as well as specials. Prime time is followed by late news. Overnight programming consists primarily of repeats of programming aired previously on the network. Weekend daytime programming begins with children’s programming, and is generally followed by sports, reality, comedy shows and movies. Approximately eight to ten hours of programming per weekday, including a substantial portion of weekday prime time, are currently programmed with novelas supplied primarily by Grupo Televisa, S.A. de C.V., or Televisa, and Corporacion Venezolana de Television, C.A., or Venevision. Although novelas have been compared to daytime soap operas on ABC, NBC or CBS, the differences are significant. Novelas, originally developed as serialized books, have a beginning, middle and end, generally run five days per week and conclude four to eight months after they begin. Novelas also have a much broader audience appeal than soap operas, delivering audiences that contain large numbers of men, children and teens, in addition to women. UniMás Network Programming. Univision’s other 24-hour general-interest Spanish-language broadcast network, UniMás, is programmed to meet the diverse preferences of the multi-faceted U.S. Hispanic community. UniMás’s programming includes sports (including boxing, soccer and a nightly wrap-up at 11 p.m. similar to ESPN’s programming), movies (including a mix of English- language movies translated into Spanish) and novelas not run on Univision’s primary network, as well as reruns of popular novelas broadcast on Univision’s primary network. Entravision Local Programming. We believe that our local news brands our stations in our television markets. We shape our local news to relate to and inform our audiences. In 14 of our television markets, our early local news is ranked first or second among competing local newscasts regardless of language in its designated time slot among adults 18-49 years of age. We have made substantial investments in people and equipment in order to provide our local communities with quality newscasts. Our local newscasts have won numerous awards, and we strive to be the most important community voice in each of our local markets. In several of our markets, we believe that our local news is the only significant source of Spanish-language daily news for the Hispanic community. Network Affiliation Agreements. Substantially all of our television stations are Univision- or UniMás-affiliated television stations. Our network affiliation agreements with Univision provide certain of our owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast Univision’s primary network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. These long-term affiliation agreements each expire in 2021, and can be renewed for multiple, successive two-year terms at Univision’s option, subject to our consent. Under our Univision network affiliation agreement, we retain the right to sell approximately six minutes per hour of the available advertising time on Univision’s primary network, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision, but in no event less than four minutes. Under our UniMás network affiliation agreement, we retain the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time the UniMás network, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision. XHAS-TV broadcasts Telemundo Network Group LLC, or Telemundo, network programming serving the Tijuana/San Diego market pursuant to a network affiliation agreement. Our current network affiliation agreement with Telemundo gives us the right to provide Telemundo network programming on XHAS-TV through June 2017. The affiliation agreement grants Telemundo a right of first refusal in the event a third party makes an offer to purchase XHAS-TV, and a right to purchase XHAS-TV upon a change of control of Entravision. 8 Our network affiliation agreement with Fox Broadcasting Company, or Fox, gives us the right to broadcast Fox network programming on KFXV-LD, serving the Matamoros/Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville-McAllen market, and KXOF-CA, serving the Laredo market, through December 31, 2017. The network affiliation agreement may be extended for successive one-year terms at Fox’s option, subject to our consent. Our network affiliation agreements with MundoFox Broadcasting LLC, or MundoFox, gives us the right to broadcast MundoFox network programming on XHRIO-TV, serving the Matamoros/Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville-McAllen market, and on XDTV-TV, serving the Tecate/San Diego market, through July 31, 2018, and on the secondary program stream of KXOF-CA, serving the Laredo market, the secondary program stream of KTFN-TV, serving the El Paso market, and the secondary program stream of KVYE-TV, serving the Yuma-El Centro market through July 31, 2016. We also have an agreement with Master Distribution Service, Inc., an affiliate of Fox, which gives us the right to provide ten hours per week of MyNetworkTV programming on KFXV-LD, KXOF-CA and on the secondary program stream of XDTV-TV, serving the Tecate/San Diego market. This agreement expires in October 2015 and may be extended for successive one-year periods by mutual consent of the parties. Our network affiliation agreement with The CW Network, LLC, or CW, gives us the right to broadcast CW network programming on KCWT-CA and KNVO-DT serving the Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville-McAllen market, and KRNS-CA and KREN-DT, serving the Reno, Nevada market, through 2018. Our network affiliation agreement with LATV Networks, LLC, or LATV, gives us the right to broadcast LATV network programming on the digital streams of certain of our television stations. Either party may terminate the affiliation with respect to a given station 30 months after the launch of such station. For a more complete discussion of this agreement, please see Note 14 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. We cannot guarantee that any of our current network affiliation agreements will be renewed beyond their respective expiration dates under their current terms, under terms satisfactory to us, or at all. Marketing Agreements. Our marketing and sales agreement with Univision gives us the right through 2021 to manage the marketing and sales operations of Univision-owned UniMás and Univision affiliates in six markets – Albuquerque, Boston, Denver, Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. We have also entered into marketing and sales agreements with other parties in certain of our other markets. Long-Term Time Brokerage Agreements. We operate each of XDTV-TV, serving the Tecate/San Diego market; XHAS-TV, serving the Tijuana/San Diego market; and XHRIO-TV, serving the Matamoros/ Harlingen-Weslaco-Brownsville-McAllen market, under long-term time brokerage agreements. Under those agreements, in combination with certain of our Mexican affiliates and subsidiaries, we provide the programming and related services available on these stations, but the stations retain absolute control of the content and other broadcast issues. These long-term time brokerage agreements expire in 2030, 2035 and 2038, respectively, and each provides for automatic, perpetual 30-year renewals unless both parties consent to termination. Each of these agreements provides for substantial financial penalties should the other party attempt to terminate prior to its expiration without our consent, and they do not limit the availability of specific performance as a remedy for any such attempted early termination.

Principal Programming Call Letters Stream Univision KEUS-LD (1) UniMás KANG-LP Mundo Fox XDTV-TV (4) XHAS-TV (4) Telemundo XHRIO-TV (4) MundoFox (1) “CA” or “CD” in call letters indicates station is under Class A television service. Certain stations without this designation are also Class A stations. (2) We provide the sales and marketing function of this station under a marketing and sales arrangement. (3) We share operating services with another broadcast station in the same market under a shared services arrangement. (4) We hold a minority, limited voting interest (neutral investment) in the entity that directly or indirectly holds the broadcast (5) license for this station. Through that entity, we provide the programming and related services available on this station under a time brokerage arrangement. The station retains control of the contents and other broadcast issues. In certain of our television markets, the FCC has granted us permission to operate a digital companion channel that rebroadcasts the analog programming of a low-power or Class A station in the digital mode. We are required, by the end of the digital transition for low-power and Class A stations, to return one of the two companion channels to the FCC. Digital Television Technology. As we continue to develop our digital television transmission technology for our television stations, we will operate in an environment where we can decide the resolution and number of broadcast streams we provide in our over-the-air transmissions. Depending upon how high a resolution level with which we elect to transmit our programming, we have the potential to transmit over-the-air broadcast streams containing a total of from two to six program streams using the bandwidth authorized to each digital station. The transmission of such multiple programming streams is referred to as multicasting. We currently are multicasting network programming streams, primarily UniMás network programming and LATV network programming streams, at a number of our stations, along with our primary program streams. In addition, we are multicasting CW, MundoFox and MyNetworkTV network programming in certain of our markets. We periodically evaluate these multicasting operations as well as the amount of bandwidth we must allocate to our primary program streams and may consider either expanding or limiting our multicasting operations, or keeping these multicasting operations substantially as at present, in the future. Other Platforms. We also offer mobile, digital and other interactive media platforms and services, including local websites and social media, that provide users with news, information and other content. Beginning in 2015, we are integrating these platforms and services into our digital media operations. Television Advertising Approximately 84% of the revenue generated from our television operations is derived from local and national advertising. Local. Local advertising revenue is generated predominantly from advertising time sold to an advertiser or its agency that is placed from within a station’s market or directly with a station’s sales staff. Local advertising sales include sales to advertisers that are local businesses or advertising agencies, and regional and national businesses or advertising agencies, which place orders from within a station’s market or directly with a station’s sales staff. We employ our own local sales force that is responsible for soliciting local advertising sales directly from advertisers and their agencies. In 2014, local advertising accounted for approximately 43% of our total television revenue. National. National advertising revenue generally represents revenue from advertising time sold to an advertiser or its agency that is placed from outside a station’s market. We typically engage national sales representative firms to work with our station sales managers and solicit national advertising sales, and we pay certain sales representation fees to these firms relating to national advertising sales. Under our network affiliation agreements with Univision, Univision acts as our sales representative for the sale of national advertising on our Univision and UniMás affiliate television stations, and advertisers which have purchased national advertising on these affiliate stations include Cox Communications, Inc., Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., McDonald’s Corporation, Ford Motor Company, H-E-B, Subway, Conn’s, Inc., Toyota Motor Corporation and Jack in the Box Inc. We also added significant new national advertising accounts in 2014, including Wendy R. Davis for Governor, Inc., Republican Party of Florida, Service Employees International Union, Texans for Greg Abbot, and U.S. Chamber of Commerce, among others. Telemundo acts as our national sales representative for the sale of national advertising on our Telemundo affiliate station, and Petry Television acts as our national sales representative for the sale of national advertising on our stations that broadcast Fox, CW and MyNetworkTV network programming. In 2014, national advertising accounted for approximately 41% of our total television revenue. 11 Retransmission Consent Revenue We also generate retransmission consent revenue from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with MVPDs. This revenue represents payments from these entities for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. In addition, we generally pay either a per subscriber fee or a share of the retransmission consent revenue received from MVPDs to the related networks, which we refer to as reverse network compensation. In August 2008, we entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which we granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years, expiring in December 2014, which Univision and we have extended through March 31, 2015. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to us by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with MVPDs. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, retransmission consent revenue accounted for approximately $26.4 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The term of the proxy agreement extends with respect to any MVPD for the length of the term of any retransmission consent agreement in effect before the expiration of the proxy agreement. It is our current intention to negotiate with Univision an extension of the current proxy agreement or a new proxy agreement; however, no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any such extension or new agreement or that any such extension or new agreement will be entered into. In 2014, retransmission consent revenue accounted for approximately 16% of our total television revenue. We anticipate that retransmission consent revenue will continue to be a growing source of net revenues in future periods. Television Marketing/Audience Research We derive our revenue primarily from selling advertising time. The relative advertising rates charged by competing stations within a market depend primarily on the following factors: (cid:120) the station’s ratings (households or people viewing its programs as a percentage of total television households or people in the viewing area); (cid:120) audience share (households or people viewing its programs as a percentage of households or people actually watching television at a specific time); (cid:120) the demographic qualities of a program’s viewers (primarily age and gender); (cid:120) the demand for available air time; (cid:120) the time of day the advertising will run; (cid:120) competitive conditions in the station’s market, including the availability of other advertising media; and (cid:120) general economic conditions, including advertisers’ budgetary considerations. Nielsen ratings provide advertisers with the industry-accepted measure of television viewing. Nielsen offers a ratings service measuring all television audience viewing. In recent years, Nielsen has modified the methodology of its ratings service in an effort to more accurately measure U.S. Hispanic viewing by using language spoken in the home as a control characteristic of its metered market sample. Nielsen has also added weighting by language as part of its local metered market methodology in many of our metered markets. Nielsen also continues to improve the methods by which it electronically measures television viewing, and has expanded its Local People Meter service to several of our markets. We believe that this improvement will continue to result in ratings gains for us, allowing us to further increase our advertising rates. We have made significant investments in experienced sales managers and account executives and have provided our sales professionals with research tools to continue to attract major advertisers. Television Competition We face intense competition in the television broadcasting business. In each local television market, we compete for viewers and revenue with other local television stations, which are typically the local affiliates of the four principal English-language television networks, NBC, ABC, CBS and Fox and, in certain cities, the CW network. In certain markets (other than San Diego), we also compete with the local affiliates or owned and operated stations of Telemundo, the Spanish-language television network that was acquired by NBCUniversal (now owned by Comcast) in 2002, as well as TV Azteca, the second-largest producer of Spanish-language programming in the world. We also directly or indirectly compete for viewers and revenue with both English- and Spanish-language independent television stations, other video media, suppliers of cable television programs, direct broadcast systems, newspapers, magazines, radio, applications for mobile media devices and other forms of entertainment and advertising. In addition, in certain markets we operate radio stations that indirectly compete for local and national advertising revenue with our television business. 12 We believe that our primary competitive advantages are the quality of the programming we receive through our affiliation with Univision and the quality of our local news. According to Univision, its primary network is one of the top five networks in the United States regardless of language and is the most-watched Spanish-language network in the United States during prime time. In addition, Univision reports that its primary network and the UniMás network together have maintained superior audience ratings among all U.S. Hispanic households when compared to both Spanish-language and English-language broadcast networks. Similarly, our local news achieves strong audience ratings. In 14 of our television markets, our early local news is ranked first or second among competing local newscasts regardless of language in its designated time slot among adults 18-49 years of age. Telemundo is the second-largest Spanish-language television network in the United States. As of December 31, 2013, the most recent date for which data is available, Telemundo had total coverage reaching approximately 94% of all Hispanic households in its markets. We also benefit from operating in different media: television and radio advertising. While we have not engaged in any significant cross-selling program, we do take advantage of opportunities for cross-promotion of our stations. Overview Radio We own and operate 49 radio stations (38 FM and 11 AM), 48 of which are located in the top 50 Hispanic markets in the United States and a national sales representation firm, Entravision Solutions. Our radio stations broadcast into markets with an aggregate of approximately 20 million U.S. Hispanics, which is approximately 40% of the Hispanic population in the United States. Our radio operations combine network and local programming with local time slots available for advertising, news, traffic, weather, promotions and community events. This strategy allows us to provide quality programming with significantly lower costs of operations than we could otherwise deliver solely with all local programming. Radio Programming Radio Networks. Our networks allow advertisers with national product distribution to deliver a uniform advertising message to the growing Hispanic market around the country in an efficient manner. Although our networks have a broad geographic reach, technology allows our stations to offer the necessary local feel and to be responsive to local clients and community needs. Designated time slots are used for local advertising, news, traffic, weather, promotions and community events. The audience gets the benefit of a national radio sound along with local content. To further enhance this effect, our on-air personalities frequently travel to participate in local promotional events. For example, in selected key markets our on-air personalities appear at special events and client locations. We promote these events as “remotes” to bond the national personalities to local listeners. Furthermore, all of our stations can disconnect from the networks and operate independently in the case of a local emergency or a problem with our central Multiprotocol Label Switching, or MPLS, transmission. Radio Formats. Each of our three radio networks produce a music format that is simultaneously distributed via MPLS with a High Definition quality sound to our stations. Each of these formats appeals to different listener preferences: (cid:120) “La Tricolor” is a personality-driven format that includes “El Show de Piolin” in the morning drive which airs on 16 of our stations, “Erazno y La Chokolata” in the afternoon drive which airs on 15 of our stations and is syndicated on an additional 48 stations and Mexican country-style music that primarily targets male Hispanic listeners 18-49 years of age; (cid:120) “José: Nunca Sabes Lo Que Va A Tocar” (“You never know what he’ll play”) features a mix of Spanish-language adult contemporary and Mexican regional hits from the 1970s through the present, “El Genio” Alex Lucas in the mornings, “Curvas Peligrosas”, a nutritionally-focused program that educates Hispanics on healthy livestyles, and play-by-play soccer coverage of the Mexican national team, including coverage of the 2018 World Cup, that targets Hispanic adults 25-54 years of age; (cid:120) “Maria: Siempre Romantica” (“Maria: Always Romantic”) features a Spanish-language romantic ballads format targeting primarily Hispanic women 18-49 years of age; and Our radio networks are broadcast into 15 of the 17 markets that we serve. In addition, in markets where competing stations already offer programming similar to our network formats, or where we otherwise identify an available niche in the marketplace, we run alternative programming that we believe will appeal to local listeners, including the following: (cid:120) In the El Paso market, we program “The Fox”, an English-language format that features classic rock and pop hits from the 1960s through the 1980s and targets primarily adults 25-54 years of age; 13 (cid:120) In the Las Vegas market, we program “El Gato”, an upbeat and energetic Mexican regional format targeting primarily Hispanic adults 18-34 years of age; (cid:120) In the Los Angeles market, we program “Super Estrella”, a music-driven, pop and alternative Spanish-rock format targeting primarily Hispanic adults 18-34 years of age that includes “El Show de Piolin” in the morning drive; (cid:120) In the McAllen market, we program a Mexican country-style music format that targets primarily Hispanic males 18-49 years of age that includes “El Show de Piolin” in the morning drive; (cid:120) Also in the McAllen market, we program two English-language formats, a classic rock-oriented format that targets primarily males 18-49 years of age and a hit-based adult contemporary format targeting primarily women 18-49 years of age; (cid:120) In the Orlando market, we program “Salsa 98.1”, a Spanish-language tropical hits format that features salsa, merengue and bachata and targets Hispanic adults 25-54 years of age; (cid:120) In the Phoenix, El Paso, Lubbock, Stockton and Albuquerque markets, we program “ESPN Deportes”, a Spanish-language sports talk format targeting primarily Hispanic adults 18-54 years of age, that is provided to us by a third party pursuant to a network affiliation agreement; and (cid:120) In the Sacramento market, we program two English-language formats, a rhythmic contemporary hit format targeting primarily females 18-34 years of age and a young country format targeting primarily adults 18-49 years of age.

We also offer mobile, digital and other interactive media platforms and services, including local websites and social media, that provide users with news, information and other content. Beginning in 2015, we are integrating these platforms and services into our digital media operations. Radio Advertising Substantially all of the revenue generated from our radio operations is derived from local and national advertising. Local. Local advertising revenue is generated predominantly from advertising time sold to an advertiser or its agency that is placed from within a station’s market or directly with a station’s sales staff, and also from a third-party network inventory agreement, digital and non-traditional revenue. Local advertising sales include sales to advertisers that are local businesses or advertising agencies, and regional and national businesses or advertising agencies, which place orders from within a station’s market or directly with a station’s sales staff. We employ our own local sales force that is responsible for soliciting local advertising sales directly from advertisers and their agencies. In 2014, local advertising revenue accounted for approximately 63% of our total radio revenue. National. National advertising revenue generally represents spot and network revenue from advertising time sold to an advertiser or its agency that is placed from outside a station’s market. Entravision Solutions, a division of our company, typically acts as a national sales representative to solicit national advertising sales on our Spanish-language radio stations. In 2014, national advertising revenue accounted for approximately 37% of our total radio revenue. Radio Marketing/Audience Research We believe that radio is an efficient means for advertisers to reach targeted demographic groups. Advertising rates charged by our radio stations are based primarily on the following factors: (cid:120) the station’s ratings (people listening to its programs as a percentage of total people in the listening area); (cid:120) audience share (people listening to its programs as a percentage of people actually listening to radio at a specific time); (cid:120) the demographic qualities of a program’s listeners (primarily age and gender); (cid:120) the demand for available air time; (cid:120) the time of day that the advertising runs; 15 (cid:120) competitive conditions in the station’s market, including the availability of other advertising media; and (cid:120) general economic conditions, including advertisers’ budgetary considerations. Nielsen Audio provides advertisers with the industry-accepted measure of listening audience classified by demographic segment and time of day that the listeners spend on particular radio stations. Radio advertising rates generally are highest during the hours of 6:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. These hours are considered the peak times for radio audience listening. Historically, advertising rates for Spanish-language radio stations have been lower than those for English-language stations with similar audience levels. We believe that, over time, possibilities exist to narrow the disparities that have historically existed between Spanish-language and English-language advertising rates as new and existing advertisers recognize the growing desirability of targeting the Hispanic population in the United States. We also believe that having multiple stations in a market enables us to provide listeners with alternatives, to secure a higher overall percentage of a market’s available advertising dollars and to obtain greater percentages of individual customers’ advertising budgets. Each station broadcasts an optimal number of advertisements each hour, depending upon its format, in order to maximize the station’s revenue without jeopardizing its audience listenership. Our non-network stations have up to 14 minutes per hour for commercial inventory and local content. Our network stations have up to one additional minute of commercial inventory per hour. The pricing is based on a rate card and negotiations subject to the supply and demand for the inventory in each particular market and the network. Radio Competition We face intense competition in the radio broadcasting business. The financial success of each of our radio stations and markets depends in large part on our audience ratings, our ability to increase our market share of overall radio advertising revenue and the economic health of the market. In addition, our advertising revenue depends upon the desire of advertisers to reach our audience demographic. Each of our radio stations competes for audience share and advertising revenue directly with both Spanish-language and English-language radio stations in its market, and with other media, such as newspapers, broadcast and cable television, magazines, outdoor advertising, satellite-delivered radio services, applications for mobile media devices and direct mail advertising. In addition, in certain markets we operate television stations that indirectly compete for local and national advertising revenue with our radio business. Our primary competitors in our markets in Spanish-language radio are Univision, Clear Channel Communications Inc. and Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. These and many of the other companies with which we compete are large national or regional companies that have significantly greater resources and longer operating histories than we do. Factors that are material to our competitive position include management experience, a station’s rank in its market, signal strength and audience demographics. If a competing station within a market converts to a format similar to that of one of our stations, or if one of our competitors upgrades its stations, we could suffer a reduction in ratings and advertising revenue in that market. The audience ratings and advertising revenue of our individual stations are subject to fluctuation and any adverse change in certain of our key radio markets could have a material adverse effect on our operations. The radio industry is subject to competition from new media technologies that are being developed or introduced, such as: (cid:120) audio programming by cable television systems, broadcast satellite-delivered audio services, cellular telephones and smart telephones, including easy-to-use mobile applications, Internet content providers and other digital audio broadcast formats and playback mechanisms; (cid:120) satellite-delivered digital audio services with CD-quality sound—with both commercial-free and lower commercial load channels—which have expanded their subscriber base and recently have introduced dedicated Spanish-language channels; and (cid:120) In-Band On-Channel™ digital radio, which could provide multi-channel, multi-format digital radio services in the same bandwidth currently occupied by traditional FM radio services. We believe that while none of these new technologies can replace local broadcast radio stations, the challenges from new technologies will continue to require attention from management. In addition, we will continue to review potential opportunities to utilize such new technologies. For example, we have converted 21 of our stations (18 FM and 3 AM) to broadcast digital radio programming as well as analog programming, which we anticipate will allow us to provide additional content to our listeners. 16 Overview Digital We provide digital advertising solutions that allow advertisers to reach online Hispanic audiences throughout the United States and Latin America. We operate a proprietary technology and data platform that delivers digital advertising in various advertising formats to allow advertisers to reach Hispanic audiences across a wide range of Internet-connected devices on our owned and operated digital media sites, the digital media sites of our publisher partners, or owners of Internet and mobile sites that contain premium digital content and digital advertising inventory who provide us with access to their digital advertising inventory, and on other digital media sites we access through third-party platforms and exchanges. We access data from these digital media sites and apply our proprietary data analytics capabilities to better target and aggregate Hispanic audience segments that will be relevant to individual advertisers, while allowing the publishers of digital media sites to better sell their digital advertising inventory. Our Solutions and Technology Platform Through our Pulpo advertising network, we offer advertisers the opportunity to reach and engage with their target audiences by providing access to premium digital inventory in brand safe environments at scale across a wide range of devices. Our significant audience reach, access to a large volume of digital advertising space, sophisticated targeting capabilities and broad array of advertising formats allow us to deliver marketing solutions that can help grow our clients’ businesses. We also enable advertisers to gain insights into the performance of their advertising campaigns and manage those campaigns with a view toward maximizing return on their advertising investment. We believe that key benefits of our solutions include the following: Sophisticated targeting. Our platform and solutions specifically identify and reach online Hispanic audiences, which we refer to as “(i)Hispanics”, across a wide range of Internet-connected devices. We believe that one of the main strengths of our platform is that it accesses and analyzes large amounts of data to provide a unique, multidimensional view of individual consumer profiles of (i)Hispanics at all levels of acculturation within the United States. We refer to this analysis as our proprietary (i)Hispanic acculturation model, which analyzes data such as generational status, age of entry into the U.S., amount of time spent living in the U.S., language preference and English proficiency, demographic data, geographic information and online behavioral knowledge, to provide advertisers with valuable insights and better understanding of Hispanic audiences and consumers. This understanding allows advertisers to more effectively reach Hispanic consumers across all acculturation levels in the U.S. and engage with them more effectively. We have also developed a number of audience categories to which advertisers can target their ads. Audience categories can be based on a variety of user attributes, including location, demographics, affluence, intent, gender and interests. We identify these attributes and audience categories based upon information we have gathered about online users’ online activity on an anonymous basis, a process known as interest-based or online behavioral advertising. We analyze this data to build sophisticated user profiles and audience groups that, in combination with our proprietary (i)Hispanic acculturation model and the real-time decision-making, optimization and targeting capabilities of our platform, enables us to deliver highly targeted advertising campaigns for our advertiser clients, as well as analytics to help them better understand Hispanic audiences and consumers. As we deliver more ads, we are able to collect additional information about users, audiences and the effectiveness of particular ad campaigns, which in turn enhances our targeting capabilities and allows us to deliver better performance for advertisers and better opportunities for our publisher partners to increase their revenue streams. In addition, advertisers are willing to pay a higher rate for digital advertising when deeper consumer data can be used to help them make their decisions about purchasing advertising and to engage with the consumers whom they desire to reach. Premium content. We provide our advertiser clients with access to premium digital content, which we consider to be content that is professionally produced and offers a quality viewing experience, through our owned and operated digital media sites and those of our publisher partners. This enables publishers to more effectively monetize their digital content, and enables advertisers to more effectively reach audiences who engage with such premium content. Scale and reach across a range of Internet-connected devices. We enable advertisers to use our digital media advertising solutions to address their online and mobile advertising needs to reach their desired audiences at scale across a wide range of Internet- connected devices, including computers, smartphones and tablets. Variety of advertising formats. We enable advertisers to deliver a variety of advertising formats, including video ads, display banners, rich media and native ad formats. We believe that these advertising formats provide an opportunity for advertisers to create a variety of advertising content that increases audience interaction and engagement, which in turn drives better results for advertisers. 17 Brand safety. Our proprietary technology contextually evaluates the content of digital media sites on which we deliver ads in order to identify content that is most appropriate or desirable for an individual advertiser, and also ensure that ads are not being delivered within content that is identified as objectionable to the advertiser, such as content that contains distasteful or obscene language, violence, gambling, sex or criminal activity. We believe that the combination of our practice of selecting publisher partners and our proprietary technology provides a high level of brand safety for our advertisers. Technology Platform. Our proprietary technology platform, Ocean, is a comprehensive advertising technology and data platform that serves the needs of advertisers to reach online Hispanic audiences that are most desirable to them, and also the needs of the publishers of digital media sites to monetize their digital inventory. The Ocean platform consists primarily of software incorporating our proprietary technology and algorithms, database software and the data that we store. The Ocean platform delivers digital advertising to digital media sites from advertisers who wish to reach audiences who interact and engage with premium digital content. Ocean can deliver a variety of different types of ads, including video ads, display banners, rich media and native ad formats, to virtually any Internet-connected online or mobile device across all major operating systems. The Ocean platform can also serve advertising to audiences after they have left a publisher’s digital media site based upon information we have gathered about their online activity on an anonymous basis, through interest-based or online behavioral advertising. We believe that one of the main strengths of our Ocean platform is that it accesses and analyzes large amounts of data to provide a unique, multidimensional view of individual consumer profiles of (i)Hispanics at all levels of acculturation within the United States, and our Ocean platform powers our (i)Hispanic acculturation model. After delivering advertising to a digital media site, the Ocean platform measures audience viewership and engagement with the advertising and provides advertisers with analytics enabling them to understand audience interaction and engagement with their ads. Digital Advertising We provide our advertisers with opportunities to reach their target audiences through brand advertising and performance-based advertising. Brand advertising is generally intended to establish a long-term, positive consumer attitude toward an advertiser or its product or service, and brand advertisers typically measure campaign effectiveness using metrics such as reach (how many consumers within the advertiser’s target audience were exposed to the advertisement) and frequency (how many times the consumer within the target audience was exposed to the advertisement). Performance-based advertising is generally intended to induce a specific action, such as clicking on an advertisement, and direct response advertisers typically measure campaign effectiveness using metrics related to consumer response to an advertisement. We generate digital revenue by delivering digital advertisements on digital media sites across a wide range of Internet-connected online and mobile devices. Advertisers and agencies typically purchase advertising from us through campaigns that are sold and managed by our direct sales force, which we refer to as managed campaigns. Managed campaigns provide advertisers with a higher degree of “white glove” customer service, with dedicated account teams that use our proprietary Ocean platform to deliver advertising campaigns for advertisers. We typically contract with advertisers or agencies through insertion orders, which set forth campaign parameters such as size and duration of the campaign, type of advertising format and pricing. Digital advertising customers submit ad insertion orders to us and we fulfill those orders by delivering their digital advertisements to audiences through digital media properties. We are typically paid by advertisers on the basis of the number of viewer impressions to whom an advertisement is delivered, known as a cost per thousand basis, or CPM, and we generally pay our publisher partners a negotiated percentage of this revenue. Prior to running an advertising campaign, the advertiser or agency may work with our creative team to provide the creative direction of the campaign and design in order to most effectively reach the audiences most desirable to it. Our Digital Customers Our digital customer base consists primarily of advertisers of all sizes and the advertising agencies that represent them. Between July 1, 2014 and December 31, 2014, we had over 400 advertising clients, including top brand advertisers from nearly all major industries, including automotive, consumer products, telecommunications, financial services, retail, government, entertainment, travel and health. Digital revenue from individual advertisers varies from period to period. We do not believe that our business is substantially dependent upon any individual advertiser, and no individual advertiser represented more than 10% of our digital revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014. Our Digital Publisher Network We have contractual relationships with premium publishers, or owners of sites that contain premium digital content and provide digital advertising inventory. We consider a premium publisher to be a publisher that has content that is professionally produced and 18 offers a quality viewing experience. These relationships provide us with digital advertising inventory, which we utilize to deliver our digital advertising solutions to our digital advertising customers. We engage our publisher partners through a variety of methods, including outreach by a dedicated business development team. We do not believe that the success of our business is dependent on our relationship with any single publisher partner. We seek to identify owners of digital media properties featuring premium digital content that, individually or collectively, have the audience scale, composition and accessibility across Internet-connected devices to achieve the objectives of our advertisers. We review a variety of criteria to determine the quality of the advertising inventory and its appropriateness for our advertiser clients, including content, the characteristics of the publisher’s viewing audience, the targeting attributes that can be obtained from the digital media property in real time and the volume of available digital content and impressions. Digital Competition The digital advertising market is dynamic, rapidly changing and highly competitive, influenced by trends in both the overall advertising market as well as the digital advertising market. We compete with large online digital publishers such as Hulu, LLC and YouTube, LLC, which is owned by Google, Inc., as well as other publishers who rely on their own sales organizations to attract advertisers to their digital properties. Across the digital media landscape, we compete for advertising purchases with large entities such as Google Inc., Facebook, Inc., Microsoft Corporation, AOL Inc. and Yahoo! Inc., all of whom offer digital advertising services as part of a larger solution for digital media buying, as well as other advertising technology companies and advertising networks. In the traditional media space, we also compete for advertising commitments with TV broadcasters, cable TV broadcasters, radio broadcasters, print media and other traditional publishers. Many of our competitors have significant client relationships, much larger financial resources and longer operating histories in this space than we have. We believe that the principal competitive factors in our industry include effective audience targeting capabilities, multi-device campaign delivery capability, proven and scalable technologies, audience scale and reach, relationships with leading advertisers and their respective agencies, brand awareness and reputation, ability to gather and use data to deliver more relevant ads, ability to ensure brand safety, ability to prevent click fraud and use of analytics to effectively measure performance. We believe that we compete favorably with respect to all of these factors and that we are well-positioned to be a leading provider of digital advertising solutions to reach Hispanic audiences in the United States and Latin America. Seasonality Seasonal net revenue fluctuations are common in the television and radio broadcasting and digital media industries and are due primarily to fluctuations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our first fiscal quarter generally produces the lowest net revenue for the year. In addition, advertising revenue is generally higher during presidential election years (2016, 2020, etc.) resulting from political advertising. Intellectual Property We believe that our ability to protect our intellectual property is an important factor in the success and continued growth of our business. We protect our intellectual property through trade secrets law, copyrights, trademarks and contracts. We have established business procedures designed to maintain the confidentiality of our proprietary information, including the use of confidentiality agreements and assignment of inventions agreements with employees, independent contractors, consultants and companies with which we conduct business. In the course of our business, we use various trademarks, trade names and service marks, including our logos and FCC call letters, in our advertising and promotions, as well as proprietary technology platforms and other technology. Some of our technology relies upon third party licensed intellectual property. We do not hold or depend upon any material patent, government license, franchise or concession, except our broadcast licenses granted by the FCC. In our digital media operations, we use our proprietary technology platform, Ocean, which is a comprehensive advertising technology and data platform. The Ocean platform consists primarily of software incorporating our proprietary technology and algorithms, database software and the data that we store. Employees As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 1,010 full-time employees, including 640 full-time employees in television, 341 full-time employees in radio, and 29 full-time employees in digital. As of December 31, 2014, three of our full-time television employees were represented by labor unions that have entered into collective bargaining agreements with us. We believe that our relations with these unions and with our employees generally are good. 19 Regulation of Television and Radio Broadcasting General. The FCC regulates television and radio broadcast stations pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, or the Communications Act. Among other things, the FCC: (cid:120) determines the particular frequencies, locations and operating power of stations; (cid:120) issues, renews, revokes and modifies station licenses; (cid:120) regulates equipment used by stations; and (cid:120) adopts and implements regulations and policies that directly or indirectly affect the ownership, changes in ownership, control, operation and employment practices of stations. A licensee’s failure to observe the requirements of the Communications Act or FCC rules and policies may result in the imposition of various sanctions, including admonishment, fines, the grant of renewal terms of less than eight years, the grant of a license renewal with conditions or, in the case of particularly egregious violations, the denial of a license renewal application, the revocation of an FCC license or the denial of FCC consent to acquire additional broadcast properties. Congress and the FCC have had under consideration or reconsideration, and may in the future consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters that could, directly or indirectly, affect the operation, ownership and profitability of our television and radio stations, result in the loss of audience share and advertising revenue for our television and radio broadcast stations or affect our ability to acquire additional television and radio broadcast stations or finance such acquisitions. Such matters may include: (cid:120) changes to the license authorization process; (cid:120) proposals to impose spectrum use or other fees on FCC licensees; (cid:120) proposals to impose a performance tax on the music broadcast on commercial radio stations and the fees applicable to digital transmission of music on the Internet; (cid:120) proposals to change rules relating to political broadcasting including proposals to grant free airtime to candidates; (cid:120) proposals to restrict or prohibit the advertising of beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages; (cid:120) proposals dealing with the broadcast of profane, indecent or obscene language and the consequences to a broadcaster for permitting such speech; (cid:120) technical and frequency allocation matters; (cid:120) modifications to the operating rules for digital television and radio broadcasting rules on both satellite and terrestrial bases; (cid:120) the implementation or modification of rules governing the carriage of local television signals by direct broadcast satellite, or DBS, services and cable television systems and the manner in which such parties negotiate such carriage arrangements; (cid:120) changes in local and national broadcast multiple ownership, foreign ownership, cross-ownership and ownership attribution rules; (cid:120) proposals whereby broadcasters may voluntarily participate in an auction of their over-the-air broadcast spectrum, otherwise agree to modifications in their available spectrum, with or without compensation, move from the UHF to VHF band, or become subject to restrictions on their usage of the spectrum; (cid:120) changes in the procedures whereby full-service broadcast stations are carried on multichannel video programming providers (MVPDs) (cable television and direct-broadcast satellite systems) either on a must-carry or retransmission consent basis and how compensation systems and processes involving broadcasters and MVPDs might be modified; and (cid:120) changes in the operating rules and policies for AM broadcasting; and (cid:120) proposals to alter provisions of the tax laws affecting broadcast operations and acquisitions. We cannot predict what changes, if any, might be adopted, nor can we predict what other matters might be considered in the future, nor can we judge in advance what impact, if any, the implementation of any particular proposal or change might have on our business. 20 FCC Licenses. Television and radio stations operate pursuant to licenses that are granted by the FCC for a term of eight years, subject to renewal upon application to the FCC. During the periods when renewal applications are pending, petitions to deny license renewal applications may be filed by interested parties, including members of the public. The FCC may hold hearings on renewal applications if it is unable to determine that renewal of a license would serve the public interest, convenience and necessity, or if a petition to deny raises a “substantial and material question of fact” as to whether the grant of the renewal applications would be inconsistent with the public interest, convenience and necessity. However, the FCC is prohibited from considering competing applications for a renewal applicant’s frequency, and is required to grant the renewal application if it finds: (cid:120) that the station has served the public interest, convenience and necessity; (cid:120) that there have been no serious violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC; and (cid:120) that there have been no other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the rules and regulations of the FCC that, when taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse. If as a result of an evidentiary hearing the FCC determines that the licensee has failed to meet the requirements for renewal and that no mitigating factors justify the imposition of a lesser sanction, the FCC may deny a license renewal application. Historically, FCC licenses have generally been renewed. We have no reason to believe that our licenses will not be renewed in the ordinary course, although there can be no assurance to that effect. The non-renewal of one or more of our stations’ licenses could have a material adverse effect on our business. Ownership Matters. The Communications Act requires prior consent of the FCC for the assignment of a broadcast license or the transfer of control of a corporation or other entity holding a license. In determining whether to approve an assignment of a television or radio broadcast license or a transfer of control of a broadcast licensee, the FCC considers a number of factors pertaining to the licensee including compliance with various rules limiting common ownership of media properties, the “character” of the licensee and those persons holding “attributable” interests therein, and the Communications Act’s limitations on foreign ownership and compliance with the FCC rules and regulations. To obtain the FCC’s prior consent to assign or transfer a broadcast license, appropriate applications must be filed with the FCC. If the application to assign or transfer the license involves a substantial change in ownership or control of the licensee, for example, the transfer or acquisition of more than 50% of the voting equity, the application must be placed on public notice for a period of 30 days during which petitions to deny the application may be filed by interested parties, including members of the public. If an assignment application does not involve new parties, or if a transfer of control application does not involve a “substantial” change in ownership or control, it is a pro forma application, which is not subject to the public notice and 30-day petition to deny procedure. The regular and pro forma applications are nevertheless subject to informal objections that may be filed any time until the FCC acts on the application. If the FCC grants an assignment or transfer application, interested parties have 30 days from public notice of the grant to seek reconsideration of that grant. The FCC has an additional ten days to set aside such grant on its own motion. When ruling on an assignment or transfer application, the FCC is prohibited from considering whether the public interest might be served by an assignment or transfer to any party other than the assignee or transferee specified in the application. Under the Communications Act, a broadcast license may not, absent a public interest determination by the FCC, be granted to or held by persons who are not U.S. citizens, by any corporation that has more than 20% of its capital stock owned or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, by foreign governments or their representatives or by non-U.S. corporations. Furthermore, the Communications Act provides that no FCC broadcast license may be granted to or held by any corporation directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than 25% of its capital stock is owned of record or voted by non-U.S. citizens or entities or their representatives, or foreign governments or their representatives or by non-U.S. corporations. The FCC has issued a declaratory order that it would, upon request, consider permitting foreign ownership of broadcast stations in excess of the limits. Thus, the licenses for our stations could be revoked if our outstanding capital stock is issued to or for the benefit of non-U.S. citizens in excess of these limitations. Our restated certificate of incorporation restricts the ownership and voting of our capital stock to comply with these requirements. The FCC generally applies its other broadcast ownership limits to “cognizable” interests held by an individual, corporation or other association or entity. In the case of a corporation holding broadcast licenses, the interests of officers, directors and those who, directly or indirectly, have the right to vote 5% or more of the stock of a licensee corporation are generally deemed attributable interests, as are positions as an officer or director of a corporate parent of a broadcast licensee. Stock interests held by insurance companies, mutual funds, bank trust departments and certain other passive investors that hold stock for investment purposes only become attributable with the ownership of 20% or more of the voting stock of the corporation holding broadcast licenses. 21 A time brokerage agreement with another television or radio station in the same market creates an attributable interest in the brokered television or radio station as well for purposes of the FCC’s local television or radio station ownership rules, if the agreement affects more than 15% of the brokered television or radio station’s weekly broadcast hours. Likewise, a joint sales agreement involving radio stations creates a similar attributable interest for the broadcast station that is undertaking the sales function. The FCC has extended the joint sales agreement attribution policy to television stations, effective as of December 19, 2016. We are considering whether to seek a waiver of this policy for our stations involved in joint sales agreements or to take other actions to comply with the new rules. Debt instruments, non-voting stock, options and warrants for voting stock that have not yet been exercised, insulated limited partnership interests where the limited partner is not “materially involved” in the media-related activities of the partnership and minority voting stock interests in corporations where there is a single holder of more than 50% of the outstanding voting stock whose vote is sufficient to affirmatively direct the affairs of the corporation generally do not subject their holders to attribution. However, the FCC also applies a rule, known as the equity-debt-plus rule, which causes certain creditors or investors to be attributable owners of a station, regardless of whether there is a single majority stockholder or other applicable exception to the FCC’s attribution rules. Under this rule, a major programming supplier (any programming supplier that provides more than 15% of the station’s weekly programming hours) or a same-market media entity will be an attributable owner of a station if the supplier or same- market media entity holds debt or equity, or both, in the station that is greater than 33% of the value of the station’s total debt plus equity. For purposes of the equity-debt-plus rule, equity includes all stock, whether voting or nonvoting, and equity held by insulated limited partners in limited partnerships. Debt includes all liabilities, whether long-term or short-term. Under the ownership rules currently in place, the FCC generally permits an owner to have only one television station per market. A single owner is permitted to have two stations with overlapping signals so long as they are assigned to different markets. The FCC’s rules regarding ownership permit, however, an owner to operate two television stations assigned to the same market so long as either: (cid:120) the television stations do not have overlapping broadcast signals; or (cid:120) there will remain after the transaction eight independently owned, full power noncommercial or commercial operating television stations in the market and one of the two commonly-owned stations is not ranked in the top four based upon audience share. The FCC will consider waiving these ownership restrictions in certain cases involving failing or failed stations or stations which are not yet built. The FCC permits a television station owner to own one radio station in the same market as its television station. In addition, a television station owner is permitted to own additional radio stations, not to exceed the local radio ownership limits for the market, as follows: (cid:120) in markets where 20 media voices will remain, a television station owner may own an additional five radio stations, or, if the owner only has one television station, an additional six radio stations; and (cid:120) in markets where ten media voices will remain, a television station owner may own an additional three radio stations. A “media voice” includes each independently-owned and operated full-power television and radio station and each daily newspaper that has a circulation exceeding 5% of the households in the market, plus one voice for all cable television systems operating in the market. The FCC rules impose a limit on the number of television stations a single individual or entity may own nationwide. The number of radio stations an entity or individual may own in a radio market is as follows: (cid:120) In a radio market with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to eight commercial radio stations, not more than five of which are in the same service (AM or FM). (cid:120) In a radio market with between 30 and 44 (inclusive) commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to seven commercial radio stations, not more than four of which are in the same service (AM or FM). (cid:120) In a radio market with between 15 and 29 (inclusive) commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to six commercial radio stations, not more than four of which are in the same service (AM or FM). (cid:120) In a radio market with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, a party may own, operate or control up to five commercial radio stations, not more than three of which are in the same service (AM or FM), except that a party may not own, operate, or control more than 50% of the radio stations in such market. 22 Because of these multiple and cross-ownership rules, if a stockholder, officer or director of Entravision holds a “cognizable” interest in Entravision, such stockholder, officer or director may violate the FCC’s rules if such person or entity also holds or acquires an attributable interest in other television or radio stations or daily newspapers in such markets, depending on their number and location. If an attributable stockholder, officer or director of Entravision violates any of these ownership rules, we may be unable to obtain from the FCC one or more authorizations needed to conduct our broadcast business and may be unable to obtain FCC consents for certain future acquisitions. Pursuant to the Communications Act, the FCC is required, on a quadrennial basis, to review its media ownership rules. The FCC began the most recent such review in 2010. In 2014, the FCC initiated a new Quadrennial Review and incorporated the existing 2010 record into that proceeding. The rule changes that have previously gone into effect amend the FCC’s methodology for defining a radio market for the purpose of ownership caps. The FCC replaced its signal contour method of defining local radio markets in favor of a geographic market assigned by Nielsen Audio, the private audience measurement service for radio broadcasters. For non- Nielsen Audio markets, the FCC is conducting a rulemaking in order to define markets in a manner comparable to Nielsen Audio’s method. In the interim, the FCC will apply a “modified contour approach,” to non- Nielsen Audio markets. This modified approach will exclude any radio station whose transmitter site is more than 58 miles from the perimeter of the mutual overlap area. As for newspaper-broadcast cross- ownership, the FCC adopted a presumption that newspaper-broadcast ownership is consistent with the public interest in the top 20 television markets, while the presumption, in smaller markets, is that such cross-ownership is not consistent with the public interest, subject to certain exceptions. With regard to the national television ownership limit, the FCC increased the national television ownership limit to 45% from 35%. Congress subsequently enacted legislation that reduced the nationwide cap to 39%. Accordingly, a company can now own television stations collectively reaching up to a 39% share of U.S. television households. Limits on ownership of multiple local television stations still apply, even if the 39% limit is not reached on a national level. In establishing a national cap by statute, Congress did not make mention of the FCC’s UHF discount policy, whereby UHF stations are deemed to serve only one-half of the population in their television markets. The FCC has commenced a rulemaking proceeding to consider whether it should retain the UHF discount policy. In doing so, the FCC has stated that it will grandfather ownership interests in place as of the commencement of the proceeding. As discussed above, Congress has already modified the nationwide television ownership cap and has considered legislation that would roll back the FCC’s proposed changes. The FCC in 2010 commenced its latest review of its ownership rules that was recently incorporated into a 2014 review proceeding. Any actions by the FCC in the future regarding radio and/or television ownership may elicit further Congressional response. The Communications Act requires broadcasters to serve the “public interest.” The FCC has relaxed or eliminated many of the more formalized procedures it developed to promote the broadcast of certain types of programming responsive to the needs of a broadcast station’s community of license. Nevertheless, a broadcast licensee continues to be required to present programming in response to community problems, needs and interests and to maintain certain records demonstrating its responsiveness. The FCC considers complaints from the public about a broadcast station’s programming when it evaluates the licensee’s renewal application, but complaints also may be filed and considered at any time. Stations also must follow various FCC rules that regulate, among other things, political broadcasting, the broadcast of profane, obscene or indecent programming, sponsorship identification, the broadcast of contests and lotteries and technical operations. The FCC requires that licensees must not discriminate in hiring practices. It has recently released new rules that will require us to adhere to certain outreach practices when hiring personnel for our stations and to keep records of our compliance with these requirements. On March 10, 2003, the FCC’s current Equal Employment Opportunity, or EEO, rules went into effect. The rules set forth a three-pronged recruitment and outreach program for companies with five or more full-time employees that requires the wide dissemination of information regarding full-time vacancies, notification to requesting recruitment organizations of such vacancies, and a number of non-vacancy related outreach efforts such as job fairs and internships. Stations are required to collect various information concerning vacancies, such as the number filled, recruitment sources used to fill each vacancy, and the number of persons interviewed for each vacancy. While stations are not required to routinely submit information to the FCC, stations must place an EEO report containing vacancy-related information and a description of outreach efforts in their public file annually. Stations must submit the annual EEO public file report as part of their renewal applications, and television stations with five or more full-time employees and radio stations with more than ten employees also must submit the report midway through their license term for FCC review. Stations also must place their EEO public file report on their Internet websites, if they have one. The EEO rules do not materially affect our operations. Failure to comply with the FCC’s EEO rules could result in sanctions or the revocation of station licenses. 23 The FCC rules also prohibit a broadcast licensee from simulcasting more than 25% of its programming on another radio station in the same broadcast service (that is, AM/AM or FM/FM). The simulcasting restriction applies if the licensee owns both radio broadcast stations or owns one and programs the other through a local marketing agreement, provided that the contours of the radio stations overlap in a certain manner. “Must Carry” Rules. FCC regulations implementing the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992, or the Cable Act, require each full-power television broadcaster to elect, at three-year intervals beginning October 1, 1993, to either: (cid:120) require carriage of its signal by cable systems in the station’s market, which is referred to as “must carry” rules; or (cid:120) negotiate the terms on which such broadcast station would permit transmission of its signal by the cable systems within its market which is referred to as “retransmission consent.” For the three-year period commencing on January 1, 2015, we generally elected “retransmission consent” in notifying the MVPDs that carry our television programming in our television markets. We have arrangements or have entered into agreements with nearly all of our MVPDs as to the terms of the carriage of our television stations and the compensation we will receive for granting such carriage rights, including through our national program supplier for Spanish-language programming, Univision, for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television stations, for the three-year period. There are proceedings pending at the FCC that could modify the retransmission consent process. We cannot say at this time how any such changes may impact the way broadcasters and MVPDs may negotiate for the carriage of programming. Under the FCC’s rules currently in effect, cable systems are only required to carry one signal from each local broadcast television station. As an element of the retransmission consent negotiations described above, we arranged that our broadcast signal be available to our MVPD viewers, no matter whether they obtain their cable service in analog or digital modes. The adoption of digital television service allows us to multicast our programs. We continue to explore, subject to our legal rights to do so, and the economic opportunities available to us, the distribution of our programming in alternative modes, such as by delivery on the Internet, by multicast delivery services, and to individuals possessing wireless mobile reception devices. Time Brokerage, Joint Sales Agreements and Shared Services Agreements. We have, from time to time, entered into time brokerage, joint sales and shared services agreements, generally in connection with pending station acquisitions, under which we are given the right to broker time on stations owned by third parties, agree that other parties may broker time on our stations, we or other parties sell broadcast time on a station, or share operating services with another broadcast station in the same market, as the case may be. By using these agreements, we can provide programming and other services to a station proposed to be acquired before we receive all applicable FCC and other governmental approvals, or receive such programming and other services where a third party is better able to undertake programming and/or sales efforts for us. FCC rules and policies generally permit time brokerage agreements if the station licensee retains ultimate responsibility for and control of the applicable station. We cannot be sure that we will be able to air all of our scheduled programming on a station with which we have time brokerage agreements or that we will receive the anticipated revenue from the sale of advertising for such programming. Under a typical joint sales agreement, a station licensee obtains, for a fee, the right to sell substantially all of the commercial advertising on a separately owned and licensed station in the same market. It also involves the provision by the selling party of certain sales, accounting and services to the station whose advertising is being sold. Unlike a time brokerage agreement, the typical joint sales agreement does not involve operating the station’s program format. In a shared services agreement, one station provides services, generally of a non-programming nature, to another station in the same market. This enables the recipient of the services to save on overhead costs. As part of its increased scrutiny of television and radio station acquisitions, the DOJ has stated publicly that it believes that time brokerage agreements and joint sales agreements could violate the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, or the HSRA, if such agreements take effect prior to the expiration of the waiting period under the HSRA. Furthermore, the DOJ has noted that joint sales agreements may raise antitrust concerns under Section 1 of the Sherman Antitrust Act and has challenged them in certain locations. The DOJ also has stated publicly that it has established certain revenue and audience share concentration benchmarks with respect to television and radio station acquisitions, above which a transaction may receive additional antitrust scrutiny. See “Risk Factors” below. 24 Digital Television Services. The FCC has adopted rules for implementing digital television service in the United States. Implementation of digital television has improved the technical quality of television signals and provides broadcasters the flexibility to offer new services, including high-definition television and broadband data transmission. The digital transition for full-power television stations was completed on June 12, 2009. The FCC has required full-power television stations in the United States to operate in digital television. The FCC has set September 1, 2015 as the date for Class A television stations to transition to digital. The transition date for low-power television stations has been postponed until after the completion of the incentive auction process. We are in the process of transitioning certain of our Class A and low-power stations to digital where we believe is in our best interest to do so. The FCC has adopted rules to permit low-power stations to operate on a paired or stand-alone basis in digital service. We have secured authority for certain of our low-power stations to have paired operations or operate in digital. In certain cases, we have requested authority to “flash cut” certain of our low-power stations to digital service. In those markets where no spectrum was available for paired operations, we will make a decision to switch individual stations from analog to digital service based on the viewing patterns of our viewers. Equipment and other costs associated with the transition to digital television, including the necessity of temporary dual-mode operations and the relocation of stations from one channel to another, have imposed some near-term financial costs on our television stations providing the services. The potential also exists for new sources of revenue to be derived from use of the digital spectrum, which we have begun to explore in certain of our markets. Digital Radio Services. The FCC has adopted standards for authorizing and implementing terrestrial digital audio broadcasting technology, known as “In-Band On-Channel™” or HD Radio, for radio stations. Digital audio broadcasting’s advantages over traditional analog broadcasting technology include improved sound quality and the ability to offer a greater variety of auxiliary services. This technology permits FM and AM stations to transmit radio programming in both analog and digital formats, or in digital only formats, using the bandwidth that the radio station is currently licensed to use. We have elected and commenced the process of rolling out this technology on a gradual basis owing to the absence of receivers equipped to receive such signals and are considering its merits as well as its costs. It is unclear what effect such technology will have on our business or the operations of our radio stations. Radio Frequency Radiation. The FCC has adopted rules limiting human exposure to levels of radio frequency radiation. These rules require applicants for renewal of broadcast licenses or modification of existing licenses to inform the FCC whether an applicant’s broadcast facility would expose people to excessive radio frequency radiation. We currently believe that all of our stations are in compliance with the FCC’s current rules regarding radio frequency radiation exposure. Low-Power Radio Broadcast Service. The FCC has created a low-power FM radio service and has granted a limited number of construction permits for such stations. Pursuant to legislation adopted in 2011, this service is being expanded and the opportunities for FM translator stations reduced. The low-power FM service allows for the operation of low-power FM radio stations, with a maximum power level of 100 watts. The 100-watt stations reach an area with a radius of approximately three and one-half miles. The low-power FM stations are required to protect other existing FM stations, as currently required of full-powered FM stations. The low-power FM service is exclusively non-commercial. To date, our stations have not suffered any technical interference from such low-power FM stations’ signals. Due to current technical restrictions and the non-commercial ownership requirement for low-power FM stations, we have not found that low-power FM service has caused any detrimental economic impact on our stations as well. Federal legislation has resulted in the increase in the availability of the low-power FM service and the FCC has recently begun granting new low-power FM authorizations. We do not foresee any material impact on our stations as a result of this legislation. Other Proceedings. The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act of 1999, or SHVIA, allows satellite carriers to deliver broadcast programming to subscribers who are unable to obtain television network programming over the air from local television stations. Congress in 1999 enacted legislation to amend the SHVIA to facilitate the ability of satellite carriers to provide subscribers with programming from local television stations. Any satellite company that has chosen to provide local-into-local service must provide subscribers with all of the local broadcast television signals that are assigned to the market and where television licensees ask to be carried on the satellite system. We have taken advantage of this law to secure carriage of our full-power stations in those markets where the satellite operators have implemented local-into-local service. SHVIA expired in 2004 and Congress adopted the Satellite Home Viewer Extension and Reauthorization Act of 2004, or SHVERA. SHVERA extended the ability of satellite operators to implement local-into-local service. SHVERA expired in late 2009, but was extended in May 2010 by the Satellite Television Extension and Localism Act, or STELA. STELA provided a further five-year extension of the “carry one/carry all” rule earlier adopted in SHVIA and SHVERA and was further renewed in late 2014 under the terms of the STELA Reauthorization Act of 2014 (STELAR). To the extent we have decided to secure our carriage on DBS through retransmission consent agreements, the “carry one/carry all” rule is no longer relevant to us. 25 White Spaces. The FCC has adopted rules, that are under appeal by the National Association of Broadcasters and other parties, to allow unlicensed users to operate within the broadcast spectrum in unoccupied parts known as the “white spaces.” The intention of the rules was to make available unused spectrum for use in connection with wireless functions related to connectivity between computers and related devices and the Internet. The FCC believes that the provisions it adopted will protect broadcast services. Broadcast groups, on the other hand, believe that operation of unlicensed devices in the “white spaces” has the potential for causing interference to broadcast reception. It is premature to judge the potential impact of what services, if any, operate under the FCC’s rules on over-the-air broadcasting. Performance Tax. While radio broadcasters have long paid license fees to composers for the musical works they have written, radio broadcasters have never compensated musical artists for their recordings of these works. The rationale was that the radio broadcasting industry provided artists, free of charge, with a promotional service for their performance. As the entire music industry has changed, with revenues from the sale of CDs continuing to drop dramatically, both musical artists and the recording companies have sought a change in how business is done. The recording companies, with the backing of many artists, have asked Congress to require that broadcasters pay fees for the broadcast exploitation of musical works. Such legislation received favorable committee action in Congress during 2009 and 2010, but no legislation was then enacted. Congress has not taken any subsequent actions, but the issue remains under consideration. Were such legislation to be adopted, its impact would depend on how any fees were structured. Spectrum Policies/Incentive Auction. After studying national broadband needs, the FCC made a determination that a critical need exists to expand the spectrum available for wireless broadband services. This need is perceived to arise based on a finding that consumers and businesses will have an increasing usage of wireless devices and the associated spectrum for telephony, data transmission, and entertainment purposes. The FCC has further determined that in order to avert a spectrum crisis, it must recover and reallocate to wireless broadband a total of 500 MHz of spectrum, of which up to 120 MHz (amounting to 20 channels) are expected to come from spectrum currently allocated to television broadcasting. In order to achieve this spectrum recovery, the FCC has proposed that broadcasters participate in “voluntary incentive auctions” in which interested station owners would offer the spectrum of their stations in a “reverse auction”, providing spectrum for wireless operators to purchase in a simultaneous or future “forward auction”. Legislation to achieve that goal was enacted by Congress in February 2012. The FCC has commenced a series of rulemaking proceedings to develop rules to establish how such auctions, now expected to occur in 2016, will be undertaken, how stations will be valued, what percentage of the auction payments will go to broadcasters, and what rights, if any, will selling stations or stations agreeing to share spectrum retain following the completion of the sale of their stations and associated spectrum. Likewise, following the completion of the auction process, the FCC intends to repack the television band and this repacking may have an impact on our full-service and Class A stations as such stations may have to be relocated and the levels of interference protection and other regulatory provisions may be altered to accommodate the reduction in available broadcast channels. Entravision is considering what its participation, if any, will be in the incentive auction process. Any reduction in available spectrum arising from the post-auction repacking process may have a detrimental impact on low- power stations (other than Class A stations), including the loss of those in television markets where there will no longer be available spectrum to accommodate them. The loss of such broadcasting opportunities could have a detrimental effect on our business. The FCC is seeking, as part of the incentive auction process, to modernize spectrum rules for the television band. Among the proposals under consideration are the sharing of the spectrum allocated to a television station among multiple stations, altering spacing among stations and interference protections between stations through an unpacking of broadcast television allocations, and improving television reception in the VHF band so that remaining television stations would use VHF spectrum while freeing up UHF channels from 32 to 51. Until the related incentive auction and modernization proceedings are completed, it is premature to reach any conclusions as to these proceedings and the eventual impact therefrom on the future of television broadcasting. Regulation of Digital Advertising We are subject to many United States federal and state laws and regulations, as well as laws and regulations of other jurisdictions, applicable to businesses engaged in providing digital media advertising services. These laws potentially can affect our business to the extent they restrict our business practices, increase our cost of compliance or impose a greater risk of liability, and these laws continue to evolve. 26 Compliance with privacy, data protection and data security laws plays a significant role in our business. In the United States, both federal and state laws regulate activities inherent to digital advertising, including the collection and use of consumer data by us and by companies with which we do business in the course of providing digital media services. Because we interact with consumers outside the United States and provide services to advertisers who themselves interact with those consumers, the laws of other jurisdictions may also apply to the types of services we provide. Privacy and data protection regulations have gained substantial publicity and attention in light of growing consumer expectations both for enhanced services as well as privacy, especially in light of publicized data breach incidents. Online advertising activities in the United States primarily have been subject to regulation and enforcement by the Federal Trade Commission, or FTC, which principally relies on its enforcement authority under Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act to investigate and respond to unfair and deceptive acts and practices. Section 5 has been the primary regulatory tool used to respond to claims of deceptive or inadequate privacy policies, inadequate data security practices and misuse of consumer data. The FTC’s enforcement focus has included close attention to the mobile advertising industry. For example, in December 2012, the FTC adopted amendments to rules under the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act, or COPPA, which went into effect in July 2013. These amendments broaden the potential applicability of COPPA compliance obligations to our activities and those of our clients when interacting with children. California’s parallel children’s privacy law also has been expanded and potentially reaches consumers not covered by COPPA. By way of further example, the FTC’s testimonial and endorsement guidelines were updated in late 2009 and contain new and expanded guidance for advertising practices using endorsements, testimonials and similar content. In addition to formal rules and guidelines, the FTC’s active enforcement in the digital media industry creates evolving precedent for challenging digital advertising practices as deceptive or unfair. The FTC has devoted particular attention to businesses within the digital media channel where the FTC has determined that potentially abusive practices have occurred or are likely to occur. The FTC focuses its enforcement resources on the accuracy of consumer disclosures, data practices transparency and data aggregation. More recently, the FTC has communicated its intention to focus on the use of data to disadvantage vulnerable or minority communities, and particular attention has been paid to data brokers and aggregators of the type that may assist us in creating consumer profiles and in serving advertisements. In some circumstances, the FTC has taken the position that advertisers may be liable for the acts of channel partners, and this creates the possibility of enforcement risk for acts other than our own. The FTC also has employed its Section 5 authority to take action against digital advertising businesses with regard to their data security practices and policies, even apart from its traditional enforcement of privacy regulations and standards. The issue of privacy in the digital media industry is still evolving. U.S. and foreign governments have enacted, have considered or are considering legislation or regulations that could significantly restrict industry participants’ ability to collect, retain, augment, analyze, use and share consumer data, such as by regulating the level of consumer notice and consent required before a company can employ “cookies” or other electronic tools to track online activities. Enforcement bodies are developing rules and enforcement standards applicable to the collection, storage and use of geolocation data, transparency of consumer data profile creation and management, and consumer access to and control over their individual online profiles. The European Union, or EU, and its member states currently regulate digital advertising practices under its Data Protection Directive and implementing national legislation and the EU currently is considering community-wide data protection regulations that will govern digital advertising practices in the EU. Current and developing EU law, among other things, requires advertisers to obtain specific types of notice and consent from individuals before using cookies or other technologies to track individuals and their online behavior and deliver targeted advertisements. It remains a possibility that additional legislation may be passed and regulations or otherwise issued in the future. Other jurisdictions similarly continue to develop enhanced data protection and security laws. We also participate in industry self-regulatory programs under which, in addition to other compliance obligations, we provide consumers with notice about our use of cookies and our collection and use of data in connection with the delivery of targeted advertising and allow them to opt-out from the use of data we collect for the delivery of targeted advertising. The rules and policies of the self-regulatory programs in which we participate are updated from time to time and may impose additional restrictions upon us in the future. Additionally, in the United States and, increasingly, in other jurisdictions, consumers are provided private rights of action to file civil lawsuits, including class action lawsuits, against companies that conduct business in the digital media industry, including makers of devices that display digital media, providers of digital media, operating system providers and third party networks. Plaintiffs in these lawsuits have alleged a range of violations of federal, state and common law, including computer trespass and violation of privacy laws. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with U.S. federal, state, or applicable international laws or regulations pertaining to privacy or data protection, or other policies, self-regulatory requirements or legal obligations could result in proceedings or actions against us by governmental entities or others, and also could result in reputational injury and/or monetary fines. 27 ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS If we cannot raise required capital, we may have to reduce or curtail certain existing operations. We require significant additional capital for general working capital and debt service needs. If our cash flow and existing working capital are not sufficient to fund our general working capital and debt service requirements, we will have to raise additional funds by selling equity, refinancing some or all of our existing debt or selling assets or subsidiaries. None of these alternatives for raising additional funds may be available on acceptable terms to us, in amounts sufficient for us to meet our requirements, or at all. In addition, our ability to raise additional funds and engage in acquisitions is limited by the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement. Our failure to obtain any required new financing may, if needed, require us to reduce or curtail certain existing operations. Our substantial level of debt could limit our ability to grow and compete. Our total indebtedness was approximately $340.3 million as of December 31, 2014. A significant portion of our cash flow from operations is and will continue to be used to service our debt obligations, and our ability to obtain additional financing is limited by the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement. We may not have sufficient future cash flow to meet our debt payments, or we may not be able to refinance any of our debt at maturity. We have pledged substantially all of our assets and our existing and future domestic subsidiaries to our lenders as collateral. Our lenders could proceed against the collateral to repay outstanding indebtedness if we are unable to meet our debt service obligations. If amounts outstanding under the amended Credit Agreement were to be accelerated, our assets may not be sufficient to repay in full the money owed to such lender. Our substantial indebtedness could have important consequences to our business, such as: (cid:120) preventing us, under the terms of the 2013 Credit Agreement, from obtaining additional financing to grow our business and compete effectively; (cid:120) limiting our ability, as a practical matter, to borrow additional amounts for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, execution of our growth strategy or other purposes; and (cid:120) placing us at a disadvantage compared to those of our competitors who have less debt. The 2013 Credit Agreement contains various covenants that limit management’s discretion in the operation of our business and could limit our ability to grow and compete. Subject to certain exceptions, the 2013 Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit our ability to, among other things: (cid:120) incur additional indebtedness or change or amend the terms of any senior indebtedness, subject to certain conditions; (cid:120) incur liens; (cid:120) dispose of certain assets; (cid:120) consummate any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all assets; (cid:120) make certain investments; (cid:120) enter into transactions with affiliates; (cid:120) use loan proceeds to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other prohibited purpose; (cid:120) incur certain contingent obligations; (cid:120) make certain restricted payments; and (cid:120) enter new lines of business, change accounting methods or amend our organizational documents in any materially adverse way to the agent or the lenders. Moreover, if we fail to comply with any of the financial covenants or ratios under the 2013 Credit Agreement, our lenders could: (cid:120) Elect to declare all amounts borrowed to be immediately due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest; and/or (cid:120) Terminate their commitments, if any, to make further extensions of credit. Any such action by our lenders would have a material adverse effect on our overall business and financial condition. 28 Historically, we have a history of losses in some periods and income in other periods, although in recent years, we have not experienced net losses. Were we to experience net losses again, our ability to comply with the 2013 Credit Agreement, including financial covenants and ratios, and continue to operate our business as it is presently conducted, could be jeopardized. We reported net income of $27.1 million and had positive cash flow from operations of $54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. We reported net income of $133.8 million and had positive cash flow from operations of $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Additionally, as of December 31, 2014, we had an accumulated deficit of $764.5 million. If we were to experience net losses and declining net revenue over a period of time, there could be an adverse effect on our liquidity and capital resources. In addition, if events or circumstances occur such that we were not able to generate positive cash flow and operate our business as it is presently conducted, we may be required to refinance our existing debt, sell assets, curtail certain operations and/or obtain additional equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that any such transactions, if required, could be consummated on terms satisfactory to us or at all. Any default under our 2013 Credit Facility, inability to renegotiate such agreements if required, obtain additional financing if needed, or obtain waivers for any failure to comply with financial covenants and ratios would have a material adverse effect on our overall business and financial condition. Our ability to generate the significant amount of cash needed to service our indebtedness and financial obligations and our ability to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness or obtain additional financing depends on many factors beyond our control. In addition, we may not be able to pay amounts due on our indebtedness. As of December 31, 2014, we had outstanding total indebtedness of approximately $340.3 million. Our ability to make payments on and refinance our indebtedness, including the amounts borrowed under our 2013 Credit Facility and other financial obligations, and to fund our operations will depend on our ability to generate substantial operating cash flow. Our cash flow generation will depend on our future performance, which is subject to many factors, including prevailing economic conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control. Our business may not generate sufficient cash flow from operations and future borrowings may not be available to us under our 2013 Credit Facility or otherwise, in amounts sufficient to enable us to service our indebtedness, including the borrowings under our 2013 Credit Facility, or to fund our other liquidity needs. If events or circumstances occur such that we are not able to generate positive cash flow and operate our business as it is presently conducted, we may be required to refinance our existing indebtedness, sell assets, curtail certain operations and/or obtain additional equity or debt financing. There is no assurance that any such transactions, if required, could be consummated on terms satisfactory to us or at all. In addition, the current uncertain economic environment has had and may continue to have an impact on our liquidity and capital resources. Because of these and other factors beyond our control, we may be unable to pay the principal, premium (if any), interest or other amounts on our indebtedness. Uncertain or adverse economic conditions may have a negative impact on our industry, business, results of operations or financial position. Uncertain or adverse economic conditions could have a negative effect on the fundamentals of our business, results of operations and/or financial position. These conditions could have a negative impact on our industry or the industry of those customers who advertise on our stations, including, among others, the services, telecommunications, automotive, fast food and restaurant, and retail industries, which provide a significant amount of our advertising revenue. There can be no assurance that we will not experience any further material adverse effect on our business as a result of current economic conditions or that the actions of the United States Government, Federal Reserve or other governmental and regulatory bodies for the purpose of stimulating the economy or financial markets will achieve their intended effect. Additionally, some of these actions may adversely affect financial institutions, capital providers, advertisers or other consumers or our financial condition, results of operations or the trading price of our securities. Potential consequences of the foregoing include: (cid:120) the financial condition of companies that advertise on our stations, including, among others, those in the services, telecommunications, automotive, fast food and restaurant, and retail industries, which may file for bankruptcy protection or face severe cash flow issues, may result in a further significant decline in our advertising revenue; (cid:120) our ability to borrow capital on terms and conditions that we find acceptable, or at all, may be limited, which could limit our ability to refinance our existing debt; (cid:120) potential increased costs of borrowing capital if interest rates rise; (cid:120) our ability to pursue permitted acquisitions or divestitures of television or radio assets may be limited, both as a result of these factors and, with respect to acquisitions, limitations contained in our 2013 Credit Agreement; (cid:120) the possible further impairment of some or all of the value of our syndicated programming, goodwill and other intangible assets, including our broadcast licenses; and (cid:120) the possibility that our lenders under the 2013 Credit Facility could refuse to fund its commitment to us or could fail, and we may not be able to replace the financing commitment of any such lender on satisfactory terms, or at all. 29 The recent recession and difficulties in the global capital and credit markets have adversely affected, and uncertain or adverse economic conditions may negatively affect, our business, as well as the industries of many of our customers, which are cyclical in nature. Some of the markets in which our advertisers participate, such as the services, telecommunications, automotive, fast food and restaurant, and retail industries, are cyclical in nature, thus posing a risk to us which is beyond our control. Declines in consumer and business confidence and spending during and since the recent recession, together with significant reductions in the availability and increases in the cost of credit and volatility in the capital and credit markets, have adversely affected the business and economic environment in which we operate and can affect the profitability of our business. Our business is exposed to risks associated with the creditworthiness of our key advertisers and other strategic business partners. These conditions have resulted in financial instability or other adverse effects at many of our advertisers and other strategic business partners. The consequences of such adverse effects could include the delay or cancellation of customer advertising orders, cancellation of our programming and termination of facilities that broadcast or re-broadcast our programming. The recurrence of any of these conditions may adversely affect our cash flow, profitability and financial condition. Although the markets have improved since the depths of the recent recession, the overall economic recovery has continued to be uneven. Future disruption of the credit markets, increases in interest rates and/or sluggish economic growth in future periods could adversely affect our customers’ access to or cost of credit, which supports the continuation and expansion of their businesses, and could result in advertising cancellations or suspensions, payment delays or defaults by our customers. Current uncertain economic conditions may affect our financial performance or our ability to forecast our business with accuracy. Our operations and performance depend primarily on U.S. and, to a lesser extent, international economic conditions and their impact on purchases of advertising by our customers. As a result of the global financial crisis, which was experienced on a broad and extensive scope and scale, and the recent recession in the United States, general economic conditions deteriorated significantly, and the economic recovery since that time has been uneven. Economic conditions may remain uncertain for the foreseeable future. We believe that this general economic uncertainty may continue in future periods, as our customers alter their purchasing activities in response to the new economic reality, and, among other things, our customers may change or scale back future purchases of advertising. This uncertainty may also affect our ability to prepare accurate financial forecasts or meet specific forecasted results. If we are unable to adequately respond to or forecast further changes in demand for advertising, our results of operations, financial condition and business prospects may be materially and adversely affected. Cancellations or reductions of advertising could adversely affect our results of operations. We do not obtain long-term commitments from our advertisers, and advertisers may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalty. We have experienced cancellations, reductions or delays in purchases of advertising from time to time in the past and more regularly during the recent global financial crisis and recession. These have affected, and could continue to affect, our revenue and results of operations, especially if we are unable to replace such advertising purchases. Many of our expenses are based, at least in part, on our expectations of future revenue and are therefore relatively fixed once budgeted. Therefore, weakness in advertising sales would adversely impact both our revenue and our results of operations. Our advertising revenue can vary substantially from period to period based on many factors beyond our control, including but not limited to those discussed above. This volatility affects our operating results and may reduce our ability to repay indebtedness or reduce the market value of our securities. We rely on sales of advertising time for most of our revenues and, as a result, our operating results are sensitive to the amount of advertising revenue we generate. If we generate less revenue, it may be more difficult for us to repay our indebtedness and the value of our business may decline. Our ability to sell advertising time depends on: (cid:120) the levels of advertising, which can fluctuate between and among industry groups and in general, based on industry and general economic conditions; (cid:120) the health of the economy in the area where our television and radio stations are located and in the nation as a whole; (cid:120) the popularity of our programming and that of our competition; (cid:120) changes in the makeup of the population in the areas where our stations are located; (cid:120) the activities of our competitors, including increased competition from other forms of advertising-based mediums, such as other broadcast television stations, radio stations, MVPDs and Internet and broadband content providers serving in the same markets; and (cid:120) other factors that may be beyond our control. 30 Changes in our accounting estimates and assumptions could negatively affect our financial position and operating results. We prepare our financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of our assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and our financial statements. We are also required to make certain judgments that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during each reporting period. We periodically evaluate our estimates and assumptions, including those relating to the valuation of intangible assets, investments, income taxes, stock-based compensation, claims handling obligations, retirement plans, reserves, litigation and contingencies. We base our estimates on historical experience and various assumptions that we believe to be reasonable at the time we make those assumptions, based on specific circumstances. Actual results could differ materially from our estimated results. Additionally, changes in accounting standards, assumptions or estimates may have an adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The terms of any additional equity or convertible debt financing could contain terms that are superior to the rights of our existing security holders. Depending upon our future results of operations, ability to further reduce costs as necessary and comply with our financing agreements, including financial covenants and ratios, we may require additional equity or debt financing. If future funds are raised through issuance of stock or convertible debt, these securities could have rights, privileges and preference senior to those of common stock. The sale of additional equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities could also result in dilution to our current stockholders. There can be no assurance that additional financing, if required, will be available on terms satisfactory to us or at all. Any failure to maintain our FCC broadcast licenses could cause a default under our 2013 Credit Facility and cause an acceleration of our indebtedness. Our 2013 Credit Facility requires us to maintain our FCC licenses. If the FCC were to revoke any of our material licenses, our lender could declare all amounts outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility to be immediately due and payable. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not have sufficient funds to pay the amounts owed. We have a significant amount of goodwill and other intangible assets and we may never realize the full value of our intangible assets. Although we have not recorded impairment of our television assets since 2010, we recorded an impairment of our radio goodwill in 2014. Goodwill and intangible assets totaled $291 million and $277 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, primarily attributable to acquisitions in prior years. At the date of these acquisitions, the fair value of the acquired goodwill and intangible assets equaled its book value. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are tested annually on October 1 for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that our assets might be impaired. Such circumstances may include, among other things, a significant decrease in our operating performance, decrease in prevailing broadcast transaction multiples, deterioration in broadcasting industry revenues, adverse market conditions, a significant decrease in our market capitalization, adverse changes in applicable laws and regulations, including changes that restrict the activities of or affect the products or services sold by our businesses and a variety of other factors. Appraisals of any of our reporting units or changes in estimates of our future cash flows could affect our impairment analysis in future periods and cause us to record either an additional expense for impairment of assets previously determined to be impaired or record an expense for impairment of other assets. Depending on future circumstances, we may never realize the full value of our intangible assets. Any determination of impairment of our goodwill or other intangibles could have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. In 2014, we recorded an impairment of our radio goodwill in the amount of $0.7 million, which has now been written down to $0, so we do not have any goodwill in our radio reporting unit at December 31, 2014. Univision’s ownership of our Class U common stock may make some transactions difficult or impossible to complete without Univision’s support. Univision is the holder of all of our issued and outstanding Class U common stock. Although the Class U common stock has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors, we may not, without the consent of Univision, merge, consolidate or enter into another business combination, dissolve or liquidate our company or dispose of any interest in any FCC license for any of our Univision-affiliated television stations, among other things. Univision’s ownership interest may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a change in control of our company and may make some transactions more difficult or impossible to complete without Univision’s support or due to Univision’s then-existing media interests in applicable markets. 31 If our affiliation or other contractual relationships with Univision or Univision’s programming success change in an adverse manner, it could negatively affect our television ratings, business, revenue and results of operations. Our affiliation and other contractual relationships with Univision have a significant impact on our business, revenue and results of operations of our television stations. If our affiliation agreement or another contractual relationship with Univision were terminated, or if Univision were to stop providing programming to us for any reason and we were unable to obtain replacement programming of comparable quality, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue and results of operations. We regularly engage in discussions with Univision regarding various matters relating to our contractual relationships. If Univision were to not continue to provide programming, marketing, available advertising time and other support to us on the same basis as currently provided, or if our affiliation agreement or another contractual relationship with Univision were to otherwise change in an adverse manner, it could have a material adverse effect on our business, revenue and results of operations. Our television stations compete for audiences and advertising revenue primarily on the basis of programming content and advertising rates. Audience ratings are a key factor in determining our television advertising rates and the revenue that we generate. If Univision’s programming success or ratings were to decline, it could lead to a reduction in our advertising rates and advertising revenue on which our television business depends. Univision’s relationships with Televisa and Venevision are important to Univision’s, and consequently our, continued success. If Televisa were to stop providing programming to Univision for any reason, and Univision were unable to provide us with replacement programming of comparable quality, it could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations. Additionally, by aligning ourselves closely with Univision, we might forego other opportunities that could diversify our television programming and avoid dependence on Univision’s television networks. Our Chief Executive Officer currently has control of the Company, giving him the ability to determine the outcome of most actions by the Company and its stockholders, including the election of all of the Company's directors. As of February 27, 2015, Walter F. Ulloa, and stockholders affiliated with him, collectively hold approximately 54.1% of the voting power of our common stock. Under Delaware law, these stockholders, by themselves, have the power to elect all the directors of the Company and determine the outcome of most matters placed before the stockholders for action. Stockholders who desire to change control of our company may be prevented from doing so by provisions of our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation and the agreement that governs our 2013 Credit Facility. In addition, other agreements contain provisions that could discourage a takeover. Our second amended and restated certificate of incorporation could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if doing so would benefit our stockholders. The provisions of our certificate of incorporation could diminish the opportunities for a stockholder to participate in tender offers. In addition, under our certificate of incorporation, our board of directors may issue preferred stock on terms that could have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of our company. The issuance of preferred stock could also negatively affect the voting power of holders of our common stock. The provisions of our certificate of incorporation may have the effect of discouraging or preventing an acquisition or sale of our business. In addition, the 2013 Credit Agreement contains limitations on our ability to enter into a change of control transaction. Under the 2013 Credit Agreement, the occurrence of a change of control would constitute an event of default permitting acceleration of our outstanding indebtedness. We operate in highly competitive industries subject to changing technologies, and we may not be able to compete successfully. We operate in highly competitive industries. Our television stations, radio stations and digital media platforms compete for audiences and advertising with other television stations, radio stations and digital media platforms, as well as with other forms of media. Advances in technologies or alternative methods of content delivery, as well as changes in audience or advertiser expectations driven by changes in these or other technologies and methods of content delivery, could have a negative effect on our business. Examples of such advances in technologies include video-on-demand, satellite radio, video games, text messaging, streaming video and downloaded content from mobile phones, tablets and other personal video and audio devices. For example, devices that allow users to view or listen to television or radio programs on a time-shifted basis, and technologies which enable users to fast-forward or skip advertisements altogether, such as DVRs, the Dish Network Hopper and mobile devices, may cause changes in consumer behavior that could affect the perceived attractiveness of our services to advertisers, and could adversely affect our advertising revenue and our results of operations. In addition, further increases in the use of mobile devices which allow users to view or listen to content of their own choosing, in their own time, while avoiding traditional commercial advertisements, could adversely affect our advertising revenue and our results of operations. Additionally, cable providers and direct-to-home satellite operators are developing services that allow them to transmit programming over the Internet to audiences, potentially leading to increased competition for viewers in our markets. New technologies and methods of buying advertising present an additional competitive challenge, as competitors offer products and services such as the ability to purchase advertising programmatically or bundled offline and online advertising, aimed at capturing advertising spend. 32 Our inability, for technological, business or other reasons, to adapt to changes in technology on a timely and effective basis, exploit new sources of revenue from these changes, or to enhance, develop, introduce and deliver compelling advertising solutions in response to changing market conditions and technologies or evolving expectations of advertisers may affect our business prospects and results of operations. Legislation and regulation of digital media businesses, including privacy and data protection regimes, could create unexpected costs, subject us to enforcement actions for compliance failures, or cause us to change our digital media technology platform or business model. U.S. and foreign governments have enacted, considered or are currently considering legislation or regulations that relate to digital advertising, including, for example, the online collection and use of anonymous user data and unique device identifiers, such as IP address or unique mobile device identifiers, geo-location data and other privacy and data protection regulation. Such legislation or regulations could affect the costs of doing business online, and could reduce the demand for our digital solutions or otherwise harm our digital operations. For example, a wide variety of state, national and international laws and regulations apply to the collection, use, retention, protection, disclosure, transfer and other processing of personal data. While we take measures to protect the security of information that we collect, use and disclose in the operation of our business, such measures may not always be effective. Data protection and privacy-related laws and regulations are evolving and could result in ever-increasing regulatory and public scrutiny and escalating levels of enforcement and sanctions. In addition, it is possible that these laws and regulations may be interpreted and applied in a manner that is inconsistent from one jurisdiction to another and may conflict with other rules or our business practices. Any failure, or perceived failure, by us to comply with U.S. federal, state, or international laws, including laws and regulations governing privacy, data security or consumer protection, could result in proceedings against us by governmental entities, consumers or others. Any such proceedings could force us to spend significant amounts in defense of these proceedings, distract our management, result in fines or require us to pay significant monetary damages, damage our reputation, adversely affect the demand for our services, increase our costs of doing business or otherwise cause us to change our business practices or limit or inhibit our ability to operate or expand our digital operations. We may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties, which may be extremely costly to defend, could require us to pay significant damages and could limit our ability to use certain technologies. Third parties may assert claims of infringement of intellectual property rights in proprietary technology against us for which we may be liable. Any claim of infringement by a third party, even those without merit, could cause us to incur substantial costs defending against the claim and could distract our management from operating our business. Although third parties may offer a license to their technology, the terms of any offered license may not be acceptable and the failure to obtain a license or the costs associated with any license could cause our business, financial condition and results of operations to be materially and adversely affected. In addition, some licenses may be non-exclusive, and therefore our competitors may have access to the same technology licensed to us. Alternatively, we may be required to develop non-infringing technology, which could require significant effort and expense and ultimately may not be successful. Furthermore, a successful claimant could secure a judgment or we may agree to a settlement that prevents us from distributing certain products or performing certain services or that requires us to pay substantial damages, including treble damages if we are found to have willfully infringed such claimant's patents or copyrights, royalties or other fees. Any of these events could seriously harm our business financial condition and results of operations. If we cannot renew our FCC broadcast licenses, our broadcast operations would be impaired. Our television and radio businesses depend upon maintaining our broadcast licenses, which are issued by the FCC. The FCC has the authority to renew licenses, not renew them, renew them only with significant qualifications, including renewals for less than a full term, or revoke them. Although we expect to renew all our FCC licenses in the ordinary course, we cannot assure investors that our future renewal applications will be approved, or that the renewals will not include conditions or qualifications that could adversely affect our operations. Failing to renew any of our stations’ main licenses would prevent us from operating the affected stations, which could materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. If we renew our licenses with substantial conditions or modifications (including renewing one or more of our licenses for less than the standard term of eight years), it could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations. 33 Displacement of any of our low-power television stations (other than Class A stations) could cause our ratings and revenue for any such station to decrease. A significant portion of our television stations is licensed by the FCC for low-power service only. Our low-power television stations operate with less power and coverage than our full-power stations. The FCC rules under which we operate provide that low- power television stations are treated as a secondary service. If any or all of our low-power stations are found to cause interference to full-power stations or sufficient channels become unavailable to accommodate incumbent broadcast television stations, owing to the relocation of full-power stations to fewer channels as part of the incentive auction repacking process, we could be required to eliminate the interference or terminate service. In a few urban markets where we operate, including San Diego, there are a limited number of alternative channels to which our low-power television stations can migrate. If, as a result of the elimination of part of the broadcast spectrum or otherwise, we are unable to move the signals of our low-power television stations to replacement channels, or such channels do not permit us to maintain the same level of service, we may be unable to maintain the viewership these stations currently have, which could harm our ratings and advertising revenue or, in the worst case, cause us to discontinue operations at these low-power television stations. Because our full-power television stations rely on retransmission consent rights to obtain cable carriage, new laws or regulations that eliminate or limit the scope of our cable carriage rights could have a material adverse impact on our television operations. We no longer rely on “must carry” rights to obtain the retransmission of our full-power television stations on MVPDs. New laws or regulations could affect retransmission consent rights and the negotiating process between broadcasters and MVPDs. Our low-power television stations do not have MVPD “must carry” rights. Some of our low-power television stations are carried on cable systems as they provide broadcast programming the cable systems desire and are part of the retransmission consent agreements we are party to. Where MVPDs are not contractually required to carry our low-power stations, we may face future uncertainty with respect to the availability of MVPD carriage for our low-power stations. We are a party to various retransmission consent agreements that may be terminated or not extended following their current termination dates. If our retransmission consent agreements are terminated or not extended following their current termination dates, our ability to reach MVPD subscribers and, thereby, compete effectively, may be adversely affected, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Retransmission consent revenue may not continue to grow at recent rates and are subject to reverse network compensation. While we expect the amount of revenues generated from our retransmission consent agreements to continue to grow in the near- term and beyond, the rate of growth of such revenue may not continue at recent and current rates and may be detrimentally affected by network program suppliers seeking reverse network compensation. Carriage of our signals on DBS services is subject to DBS companies providing local broadcast signals in the television markets we serve and our decision as to the terms upon which our signals will be carried. SHVIA allowed DBS television companies, which are currently DirecTV and Dish Network, to transmit local broadcast television station signals back to their subscribers in local markets. In exchange for this privilege, however, SHVIA required that in television markets in which a DBS company elects to pick up and retransmit any local broadcast station signals, the DBS provider must also offer to its subscribers signals from all other qualified local broadcast television stations in that market. Our broadcast television stations in markets for which DBS operators have elected to carry local stations have previously obtained carriage under this “carry one/carry all” rule. SHVIA expired in 2004 and Congress adopted SHVERA, which expired in 2009, but was extended in May 2010 by STELA. STELA and STELAR provide further five-year extensions, now until 2019, of the “carry one/carry all” rule earlier adopted in SHVIA and SHVERA. To the extent we have decided to secure our carriage on DBS through retransmission consent agreements, the “carry one/carry all” rule no longer is relevant to us. 34 Changes in the FCC’s ownership rules could lead to increased market power for our competitors or could place limits on our ability to acquire stations in certain markets. As required by the Communications Act and as the regulator of over-the-air broadcasting, the FCC, both on a quadrennial basis and in individual proceedings, continues to review its policies for the ownership of both radio and television stations. To date, however, only a reduction in the nationwide television cap, to 39% of the viewing public, has been the subject of federal legislation. The impact of changes in the FCC’s rules as to how many stations a party may own, operate and/or control, depends on whether the FCC expands its ownership limits, as it has done in the past, or adopts new limits on ownership, as it has also done as in the case of time brokerage agreements. In the case of the former, expanding ownership limits could result in our competitors’ ability to increase their ownership presence in the markets in which we operate. In the case of the latter, we may be unable to acquire stations in markets where additional station ownership would enable us to achieve operating efficiencies or grow our broadcasting business. We rely on over-the-air spectrum which might be taken away, auctioned or be subject to other modifications (including repacking) pursuant to an FCC-sanctioned process. Our television business operates through over-the-air transmission of broadcast signals. These transmissions are authorized under licenses issued to our stations by the FCC. The current electromagnetic spectrum is finite and certain parts of the spectrum are better than others owing to the ability of electromagnetic signals to penetrate buildings. This is the portion of the spectrum where broadcast stations operate. With the advent of mobile wireless communications and its use not only for voice but for broadband distribution, the need for spectrum has grown. The FCC is increasing the amount of spectrum available for use by wireless broadband services at the expense of over-the-air broadcast services. Available sources of such spectrum are limited and the spectrum allotted for television broadcasting as a source for such spectrum repurposing has been identified as containing spectrum that the FCC seeks to recover in part and made available for wireless broadband use. The FCC has been required by statute to undertake any such repurposing in a manner such that its application to full-service and Class A television stations will be voluntary and television broadcasters will not be required to return their existing spectrum. However, it cannot be certain how the FCC’s efforts to secure additional spectrum for mobile wireless communications and the incentive auction and repacking processes that accompany the redistribution of broadcast spectrum will affect television broadcasting, as it remains dependent on the applications of such legislation, the rules to be adopted and applied by the FCC, and the actions of broadcasters in responding to the new, altered spectrum environment. There are significant political, legal and technical issues to overcome and be considered by us before changes in spectrum use may occur. The loss of spectrum could have a significant impact on our television business as would the sale or auction of spectrum or the modification of the available spectrum. We are giving consideration to all of the implications of the expected changes in how spectrum will be made available for broadcasting.

We paid a cash dividend on our Class A, Class B, and Class U common stock of $0.125 per share on December 30, 2013, consisting of a quarterly dividend of $0.025 per share and a special dividend of $0.10 per share. We paid a special cash dividend on our Class A, Class B, and Class U common stock of $0.12 per share on December 28, 2012. We currently anticipate making cash dividends on a quarterly basis in future periods. Any decision to pay future cash dividends will be subject to further approval by the Board. Our future dividend policy, including the amount of any dividend, will depend on factors considered relevant in the discretion of the Board of Directors, which may include, among other things, our earnings, capital requirements and financial condition. In addition, the 2013 Credit Agreement places certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends on any class of our common stock. 38 Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans The following table sets forth information regarding outstanding options and shares reserved for future issuance under our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2014: Number of Securities to be Issued upon Exercise of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights Weighted-Average Exercise Price of Outstanding Options, Warrants and Rights Number of Securities Remaining Available for Future Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plans (excluding Securities Reflected in the First Column) 6,723,518(2) $ N/A(4) — 6,723,518 $ 3.33(3) N/A(4) 6,239,933 3,997,062 — 3.33 — 10,236,995 Plan Category Equity compensation plans approved by security holders: Incentive Stock Plans (1) Employee Stock Purchase Plan Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders Total (1) Represents information with respect to both our 2000 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan and our 2004 Equity Incentive Plan.

(2) (3) Weighted average exercise price of outstanding options; excludes restricted stock units. (4) Our 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, permits full-time employees to have payroll deductions made to purchase shares of our Class A common stock during specified purchase periods. The purchase price is the lower of 85% of (1) the fair market value per share of our Class A common stock on the last business day before the purchase period begins and (2) the fair market value per share of our Class A common stock on the last business day of the purchase period. Consequently, the price at which shares will be purchased for the purchase period currently in effect is not known. We suspended the ESPP in 2009. Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities On August 18, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On November 25, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the share repurchase program with a repurchase authorization of up to an additional $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, for a total repurchase authorization of up to $20.0 million. Under the share repurchase program we are authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice As of December 31, 2014, we repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $5.08, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.5 million. 39 ITEM 6.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS The following discussion of our consolidated results of operations and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 and consolidated financial condition as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this document. OVERVIEW We are is a diversified media company serving Hispanic audiences primarily throughout the United States and the border markets of Mexico with a combination of television, radio and digital media properties. We believe that we are the largest independent public media company focused principally on the U.S. Hispanic audience. We currently operate in three reportable segments, television broadcasting, radio broadcasting and digital media. We previously operated in two reportable segments, television broadcasting and radio broadcasting. On June 18, 2014, we acquired Pulpo Media, Inc., or Pulpo, a leading provider of digital advertising services and solutions focused on reaching Hispanic audiences in the U.S. and Latin America. Beginning with the third quarter of 2014, we created a new operating segment, digital media, which consists of the financial results of Pulpo. Our net revenue for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $242.0 million. Of that amount, revenue generated by our television segment accounted for 68%, revenue generated by our radio segment accounted for 29%, and revenue generated by our digital segment accounted for 3%. As of the date of filing this report, we own and/or operate 58 primary television stations located primarily in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and Washington, D.C. We own and operate 49 radio stations (38 FM and 11 AM) located primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas. We own and operate a national sales representation firm, Entravision Solutions, through which we sell advertisements and syndicate radio programming to approximately 350 stations across the United States. We also own and operate an online advertising platform that delivers digital advertising in a variety of formats to reach Hispanics audiences on Internet-connected devices. We generate revenue primarily from sales of national and local advertising time on television stations, radio stations and digital media platforms, and from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with Multichannel Video Programming Distributors, or MVPDs. Advertising rates are, in large part, based on each medium’s ability to attract audiences in demographic groups targeted by advertisers. We recognize advertising revenue when commercials are broadcast and when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the websites of our third party publishers. We do not obtain long-term commitments from our advertisers and, consequently, they may cancel, reduce or postpone orders without penalties. We pay commissions to agencies for local, regional and national advertising. For contracts directly with agencies, we record net revenue from these agencies. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in our industry and are due primarily to variations in advertising expenditures by both local and national advertisers. In addition, advertising revenue is generally higher during presidential election years (2016, 2020, etc.) resulting from political advertising. We also generate revenue from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with MVPDs. We refer to such revenue as retransmission consent revenue, which represents payments from MVPDs for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. We recognize retransmission consent revenue when it is accrued pursuant to the agreements we have entered into with respect to such revenue. Our primary expenses are employee compensation, including commissions paid to our sales staff and amounts paid to our national representative firms, as well as expenses for marketing, promotion and selling, technical, local programming, engineering, and general and administrative. Our local programming costs for television consist primarily of costs related to producing a local newscast in most of our markets. Highlights During 2014, we achieved revenue growth primarily driven by World Cup revenue, retransmission consent revenue, political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013, and our new digital segment. Net revenue increased to $242.0 million, an increase of $18.1 million, from $223.9 million in 2013. Our audience shares remain strong in the nation’s most densely populated Hispanic markets, and we believe we are well positioned to benefit as the U.S. Hispanic market continues to expand and advertisers increasingly recognize the importance of reaching our target audience. 41 Net revenue for our television segment increased to $165.5 million in 2014, from $157.0 million in 2013. This increase of $8.5 million, or 5%, was primarily due to advertising revenue from the World Cup, an increase in retransmission consent revenue, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. These increases were partially offset by decreases in national and local advertising revenue. We generated a total of $26.4 million in retransmission consent revenue in 2014. We anticipate that retransmission consent revenue for the full year 2015 will be greater than it was for the full year 2014 and will continue to be a growing source of net revenues in future periods. Net revenue for our radio segment increased to $69.9 million in 2014, from $66.9 million in 2013. This increase of $3.0 million, or 4%, was primarily due to advertising revenue from the World Cup, an increase in national advertising revenue, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue. Net revenue in our digital segment was $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Since our digital media segment began in the third quarter of 2014, comparisons to the year ended December 31, 2013 are not possible. Acquisitions and Dispositions On June 18, 2014, we completed the acquisition of 100% of the common stock of Pulpo, a leading provider of digital advertising services and solutions focused on reaching Hispanic audiences in the U.S. and Latin America. In connection with the Pulpo acquisition, we acquired additional digital media platforms that the Company believes will enhance its offerings to the U.S. Hispanic marketplace. The transaction was funded from our cash on hand, for an aggregate cash consideration of $15.0 million, net of cash acquired of $0.7 million, and contingent consideration with a fair value of $1.4 million as of the acquisition date. The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation for the acquisition of Pulpo (in millions): Accounts receivable Prepaids and other assets Property and equipment Intangible assets subject to amortization Goodwill Current liabilities Deferred income taxes $ 1.6 0.1 0.5 3.4 14.1 (1.8 ) (1.5 ) The acquisition of Pulpo includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to Pulpo based upon the achievement of certain annual performance benchmarks over a three-year period. Amounts are payable 90 days after each fiscal year end beginning December 31, 2014. The range of the total undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration agreement over the three-year period is between $0 and $3.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $1.4 million was estimated by applying the real options approach. Performance targets were achieved for the year ended December 31, 2014, and, accordingly, a payment of $1.0 million will be made to the sellers in 2015. As of December 31, 2014, we determined Pulpo is less likely to earn the full amount of the contingent consideration for the years 2015 and 2016. Therefore, we adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration in the fourth quarter of 2014 to $1.3 million. The net impact of the contingent consideration adjustment was a reduction of $0.1 million and is included in corporate expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $1.6 million. The gross amount due under contract is $1.7 million, of which $0.1 million is expected to be uncollectable. The goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is assigned to the digital media segment and is attributable to Pulpo’s workforce and expected synergies from combining Pulpo’s operations with the Company’s. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for each of the Company’s operating segments for the year ended December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands): Television Radio Digital Consolidated December 31, December 31, 2013 Acquisition Impairment 2014 $ $ 35,912 $ 735 — 36,647 $ — $ — 14,169 14,169 $ — $ (735) — (735) $ 35,912 — 14,169 50,081 42 Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because the effect of this acquisition was not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for any of the periods presented. In a strategic effort to focus our resources on strengthening existing clusters and expanding into new U.S. Hispanic markets and subject to limitations contained in our amended Credit Agreement, we periodically review our portfolio of media properties and, from time to time, consider divesting assets in markets where we do not see the opportunity to grow to scale and build out media clusters. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below. Relationship with Univision Substantially all of our television stations are Univision- or UniMás-affiliated television stations. Our network affiliation agreements with Univision provide certain of our owned stations the exclusive right to broadcast Univision’s primary network and UniMás network programming in their respective markets. These long-term affiliation agreements each expire in 2021, and can be renewed for multiple, successive two-year terms at Univision’s option, subject to our consent. Under our Univision network affiliation agreement, we retain the right to sell approximately six minutes per hour of the available advertising time on Univision’s primary network, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision, but in no event less than four minutes. Under our UniMás network affiliation agreement, we retain the right to sell approximately four and a half minutes per hour of the available advertising time the UniMás network, subject to adjustment from time to time by Univision. Under the network affiliation agreements, Univision acts as our exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of national advertising on our Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations, and we pay certain sales representation fees to Univision relating to sales of all advertising for broadcast on our Univision- and UniMás-affiliate television stations. We also generate revenue under two marketing and sales agreements with Univision, which give us the right through 2021 to manage the marketing and sales operations of Univision-owned UniMás and Univision affiliates in six markets – Albuquerque, Boston, Denver, Orlando, Tampa and Washington, D.C. In August 2008, we entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which we granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years, expiring in December 2014, which Univision and we have extended through March 31, 2015. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to us by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with MVPDs. During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, retransmission consent revenue accounted for approximately $26.4 million and $22.2 million, respectively. The term of the proxy agreement extends with respect to any MVPD for the length of the term of any retransmission consent agreement in effect before the expiration of the proxy agreement. It is our current intention to negotiate with Univision an extension of the current proxy agreement or a new proxy agreement; however, no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any such extension or new agreement or that any such extension or new agreement will be entered into. Univision currently owns approximately 10% of our common stock on a fully-converted basis. Our Class U common stock held by Univision has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors. As the holder of all of our issued and outstanding Class U common stock, so long as Univision holds a certain number of shares, we may not, without the consent of Univision, merge, consolidate or enter into another business combination, dissolve or liquidate our company or dispose of any interest in any Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, license for any of our Univision-affiliated television stations, among other things. Each share of Class U common stock is automatically convertible into one share of Class A common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or combinations) in connection with any transfer to a third party that is not an affiliate of Univision. 43 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS Separate financial data for each of the Company’s operating segments is provided below. Segment operating profit (loss) is defined as operating profit (loss) before corporate expenses, loss (gain) on sale of assets and impairment charge. The Company evaluates the performance of its operating segments based on the following (in thousands): Years Ended December 31, 2014 2013 2012 % Change 2014 to 2013 % Change 2013 to 2012 0% 1% 0% 0% 0% 12% 13% 0% 12% (23)% (9)% 0% (17)% (9)% (8)% 0% (9)% (1)% (21)% 0% (4)% 10% 0% (8)% (5)% Net Revenue Television Radio Digital Consolidated $ 165,472 $ 156,994 $ 69,922 6,644 242,038 66,922 — 223,916 156,839 66,414 — 223,253 5% 4% 100% 8% Cost of revenue - digital media 2,993 — — 100% Direct operating expenses Television Radio Digital Consolidated Selling, general and administrative expenses Television Radio Digital Consolidated Depreciation and amortization Television Radio Digital Consolidated Segment operating profit (loss) Television Radio Digital Consolidated Corporate expenses Impairment charge Operating income (loss) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (1) Capital expenditures Television Radio Digital Consolidated Total assets Television Radio Digital Consolidated * Percentage not meaningful.

We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 2013 Credit Facility and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. Since our ability to borrow from our 2013 Credit Facility is based on a consolidated adjusted EBITDA financial covenant, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated adjusted EBITDA to our investors. Our 2013 Credit Facility contains a total net leverage ratio financial covenant in the event that the revolving credit facility is drawn. The total net leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt (net of up to $20 million of unrestricted cash) to trailing-twelve-month consolidated adjusted EBITDA, affects both our ability to borrow from our 2013 Credit Facility and our applicable margin for the interest rate calculation. Under our 2013 Credit Facility, our maximum total leverage ratio may not exceed 6.50 to 1 in the event that the revolving credit facility is drawn. The total leverage ratio was as follows (in each case as of December 31): 2014, 4.0 to 1; 2013, 4.7 to 1. Therefore, we were in compliance with this covenant at each of those dates. While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions. 45 Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. The most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to consolidated adjusted EBITDA is cash flows from operating activities. A reconciliation of this non-GAAP measure to cash flows from operating activities follows (in thousands): Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (1) Interest expense Interest income Gain (loss) on debt extinguishment Income tax (expense) benefit Amortization of syndication contracts Payments on syndication contracts Non-cash stock-based compensation included in direct operating expenses Non-cash stock-based compensation included in selling, general and administrative expenses Non-cash stock-based compensation included in corporate expenses Depreciation and amortization Impairment charge Net income (loss) Depreciation and amortization Impairment charge Deferred income taxes Amortization of debt issue costs Amortization of syndication contracts Payments on syndication contracts Non-cash stock-based compensation (Gain) loss on debt extinguishment Changes in assets and liabilities: (Increase) decrease in accounts receivable (Increase) decrease in prepaid expenses and other assets Increase (decrease) in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities Cash flows from operating activities Years Ended December 31, $ 2014 79,277 $ (13,904) 50 (246) (18,444) (440) 578 2013 73,003 $ (24,631 ) 44 (29,675 ) 134,137 (587 ) 1,258 2012 76,863 (35,407) 86 (3,743) (6,112) (707) 1,698 (1,294) (1,070 ) — — (3,057) (14,663) (735) 27,122 14,663 735 17,585 820 440 (578) 4,351 246 (3,701 ) (14,953 ) - 133,825 14,953 - (134,975 ) 1,647 587 (1,258 ) 4,771 29,675 (6,128) (1,183) (8,706 ) (509 ) (3,661) 54,412 $ (7,255 ) 32,755 $ $ (146) (767) (1,738) (16,426) - 13,601 16,426 - 6,477 2,284 707 (1,698) 2,651 3,743 (3,740) 321 (740) 40,032 (footnotes on preceding page) Year Ended December 31, 2014 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2013 Consolidated Operations Net Revenue. Net revenue increased to $242.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $223.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $18.1 million. Of the overall increase, $8.5 million was generated by our television segment and was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup, an increase in retransmission consent revenue, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013, partially offset by decreases in national and local advertising revenue. Additionally, $3.0 million of the overall increase was generated by our radio segment and was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup, an increase in national advertising revenue, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013, partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue. The remaining $6.6 million of the overall increase was generated by our new digital segment, resulting from our acquisition of Pulpo in June 2014 and which did not contribute to net revenue in periods prior to the third quarter of 2014. We currently anticipate that for the full year 2015, net revenue will increase from digital media and retransmission consent revenue, whereas net revenue will decrease from the absence of World Cup and significant political advertising compared to 2014. Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 due to the acquisition of Pulpo in June 2014. 46 Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses increased to $107.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $103.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $3.6 million. Of the overall increase, $1.2 million was generated by our radio segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense. Additionally, $2.4 million of the overall increase was generated by our new digital segment, resulting from our acquisition of Pulpo in June 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, direct operating expenses decreased to 44% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 46% for the year ended December 31, 2013. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased because the increase in net revenue outpaced the increase in direct operating expenses. We believe that direct operating expenses will continue to increase during 2015 primarily as a result of employee salary increases. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased to $35.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $3.8 million. Of the overall increase, $1.5 million was generated by our television segment and was primarily attributable to increases in bad debt expense, insurance and salary expense. Additionally, $1.0 million of the overall increase was generated by our radio segment and was primarily attributable to increases in employee benefits costs and payroll taxes associated with the increase in salary expense. The remaining $1.3 million of the overall increase was generated by our new digital segment, resulting from our acquisition of Pulpo in June 2014. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses increased to 15% for the year ended December 31, 2014 from 14% for the year ended December 31, 2013. We believe that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase during 2015 primarily as a result of employee salary increases. Corporate expenses increased to $21.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to fees associated with the acquisition of Pulpo and an increase in salary expense, partially offset by a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate expenses remained constant at 9% for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. We believe that corporate expenses will continue to increase during 2015 primarily as a result of employee salary increases. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $14.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $0.3 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation as certain assets are now fully depreciated. Impairment Charge. Impairment charge related to our radio goodwill was $0.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. The write-down was pursuant to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other, which requires that goodwill and certain intangible assets be tested for impairment at least annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the assets might be impaired. Operating Income. As a result of the above factors, operating income was $59.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $13.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, a decrease of $10.7 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to our Term Loan B under the 2013 Credit Facility, which bears interest at a lower rate than did our redeemed Notes. Loss on Debt Extinguishment. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.2 million, related to finance costs during the year ended December 31, 2014. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $29.7 million, primarily related to the premium associated with the redemption of our Notes, the unamortized bond discount, and finance costs during the year ended December 31, 2013. Income Tax Expense or Benefit. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $18.4 million or 40% of our pre-tax income. Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $134.1 million. The effective income tax rate for 2013 was significantly higher than our federal corporate income tax rate of 34%. The difference is due primarily to the release of the entire valuation allowance of our federal deferred tax assets and the release of the majority of the valuation allowance of our state deferred tax assets. 47 Our management periodically evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. Valuation allowances are established and maintained for deferred tax assets on a “more likely than not” threshold. The process of evaluating the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the amount maintained in any such allowance is highly subjective and is based on many factors, several of which are subject to significant judgment calls. Based on our analysis we determined that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized except for certain expiring state net operating loss carryforwards. Segment Operations Television Net Revenue. Net revenue in our television segment increased to $165.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $157.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $8.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup, an increase in retransmission consent revenue, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. These increases were partially offset by decreases in national and local advertising revenue. We generated a total of $26.4 million and $22.2 million in retransmission consent revenue for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We anticipate that retransmission consent revenue for the full year 2015 will be greater than it was for the full year 2014 and will continue to be a growing source of net revenue in future periods. Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our television segment remained constant at $63.6 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment increased to $17.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in bad debt expense, insurance and salary expense. Radio Net Revenue. Net revenue in our radio segment increased to $69.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $66.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $3.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to advertising revenue from the World Cup, an increase in national advertising revenue, and an increase in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in local advertising revenue. Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our radio segment increased to $41.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $40.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our radio segment increased to $16.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $1.0 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in employee benefits costs and payroll taxes associated with the increase in salary expense. Digital The digital media segment was formed as of the beginning of the third quarter of 2014 in connection with the acquisition of Pulpo on June 18, 2014. The results of this new segment for the interim period between the acquisition date and the beginning of the third quarter were not significant and were included in the radio segment. Net Revenue. Net revenue in our digital segment was $6.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Cost of revenue. Cost of revenue in our digital segment was $3.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Direct operating expenses. Direct operating expenses in our digital segment were $2.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our digital segment were $1.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. 48 Year Ended December 31, 2013 Compared to Year Ended December 31, 2012 Consolidated Operations Net Revenue. Net revenue increased to $223.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $223.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.6 million. Of the overall increase, $0.5 million was generated by our radio segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in local advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. Additionally, the balance of the overall increase was generated by our television segment and was primarily attributable to increases in local advertising revenue and retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. We currently anticipate that net revenue will increase for the full year 2014, primarily due to advertising revenue from World Cup and political activity, as well as retransmission consent revenue. Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses increased to $103.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $92.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $11.4 million. Of the overall increase, $6.9 million was generated by our television segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense due to our new management structure, which shifted salaries to direct operating expense from selling, general and administrative expense, and an increase in performance based commissions and bonuses associated with the increase in local revenue. Additionally, $4.5 million of the overall increase was generated by our radio segment and was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense due to our new management structure, which shifted salaries to direct operating expense from selling, general and administrative expense, and an increase in performance based commissions and bonuses associated with the increase in local revenue. As a percentage of net revenue, direct operating expenses increased to 46% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 41% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Direct operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue increased because the increase in direct operating expenses outpaced the increase in net revenue. However, this increase as a percentage of revenue may not be directly comparable because of the new management structure and the shifting of certain expenses to direct operating expenses (which increased) from selling, general and administrative expense (which decreased). We believe that direct operating expenses will continue to increase during 2014 primarily as a result of employee salary increases, and an increase in expenses associated with the anticipated increase in net revenue. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to $31.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $37.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $6.2 million. Of the overall decrease, $4.8 million was generated by our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary expense due to the company’s new management structure, which shifted salaries from selling, general and administrative expense to direct operating expense, and a decrease in bad debt expense. Additionally, $1.4 million of the overall decrease was generated by our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary expense due to our new management structure, which shifted salaries from selling, general and administrative expense to direct operating expense. As a percentage of net revenue, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased to 14% for the year ended December 31, 2013 from 17% for the year ended December 31, 2012. Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net revenue decreased because net revenue increased and selling, general and administrative expenses decreased. However, this decrease as a percentage of revenue may not be directly comparable because of the new management structure and the shifting of certain expenses from selling, general and administrative expense (which decreased) to direct operating expenses (which increased). We believe that selling, general and administrative expenses will increase during 2014 primarily as a result of employee salary increases. Corporate expenses increased to $19.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $18.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $1.8 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense. As a percentage of net revenue, corporate expenses increased to 9% for year ended December 31, 2013 from 8% for the year ended December 31, 2012. We believe that corporate expenses will continue to increase during 2014 primarily as a result of increased non-cash stock-based compensation expenses. Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased to $15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $16.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.4 million. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease in depreciation as certain assets are now fully depreciated. Operating Income. As a result of the above factors, operating income was $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to $58.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. 49 Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased to $24.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $35.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $10.8 million. This decrease was primarily attributable to a lower average outstanding balance of our Notes, which were fully redeemed in August 2013, and due to our new Term Loan B under the 2013 Credit Facility, which bears interest at a lower rate than did our redeemed Notes. Loss on Debt Extinguishment. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $29.7 million, primarily related to the premium associated with the redemption of our Notes, the unamortized bond discount, and finance costs during the year ended December 31, 2013. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $3.7 million related to the premium paid, unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount associated with the repurchase of Notes during the year ended December 31, 2012. Income Tax Expense or Benefit. Income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $134.1 million. The effective income tax rate was significantly higher than our federal corporate income tax rate of 34%. The difference is due primarily to the release of the entire valuation allowance of our federal deferred tax assets and the release of the majority of the valuation allowance of our state deferred tax assets. Income tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $6.1 million. The effective income tax rate differed from our federal corporate income tax rate of 34% due to changes in the valuation allowance and deductions attributable to indefinite-lived intangible assets. Our management periodically evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. Valuation allowances are established and maintained for deferred tax assets on a “more likely than not” threshold. The process of evaluating the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets and the amount maintained in any such allowance is highly subjective and is based on many factors, several of which are subject to significant judgment calls. Prior to the fourth quarter of 2013, we maintained a valuation allowance for our entire deferred tax assets as a result of uncertainties regarding their realization due to numerous factors, including without limitation historical losses, the variability of operating results, and limited visibility into our future projected results. This valuation allowance was maintained since the likelihood of the realization of those assets had not become more likely than not based on our assessment of then available positive and negative evidence. During our periodic review of the valuation allowance in the fourth quarter of 2013 we performed an analysis and a review of all positive and negative evidence such as recent historical operations, future projections of taxable income and tax planning strategies. We gave significant weight to objective and verifiable evidence, primarily the improving trend in our pretax core earnings in recent years and in recent quarters. We also considered subjective evidence including but not limited to future projected reversals of existing taxable temporary differences, taxable income in prior carryback years, future projected taxable income, and tax planning strategies that are prudent and feasible. Based on our analysis we determined that it was more likely than not that our deferred tax assets would be realized except for certain expiring state net operating loss carryforwards. Accordingly, we reversed a valuation allowance of approximately $144 million and recorded the reduction as a tax benefit for the period. Segment Operations Television Net Revenue. Net revenue in our television segment increased to $157.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $156.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.2 million. The increase was primarily attributable to increases in local advertising revenue and retransmission consent revenue, partially offset by a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. We generated a total of $22.2 million and $20.2 million in retransmission consent revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We anticipate that retransmission consent revenue for the full year 2014 will be greater than it was for the full year 2013 and will continue to be a growing source of net revenue in future periods. Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our television segment increased to $63.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $56.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $6.9 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense due to our new management structure, which shifted salaries to direct operating expense from selling, general and administrative expense, and an increase in performance based commissions and bonuses associated with the increase in local revenue. 50 Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our television segment decreased to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $20.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $4.8 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary expense due to the company’s new management structure, which shifted salaries from selling, general and administrative expense to direct operating expense, and a decrease in bad debt expense. Radio Net Revenue. Net revenue in our radio segment increased to $66.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $66.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in local advertising revenue, partially offset by a decrease in political advertising revenue, which was not material in 2013. Direct Operating Expenses. Direct operating expenses in our radio segment increased to $40.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $35.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, an increase of $4.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in salary expense due to our new management structure, which shifted salaries to direct operating expense from selling, general and administrative expense, and an increase in performance based commissions and bonuses associated with the increase in local revenue. Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses in our radio segment decreased to $15.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $17.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, a decrease of $1.4 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in salary expense due to our new management structure, which shifted salaries from selling, general and administrative expense to direct operating expense. Liquidity and Capital Resources While we have a history of operating losses in some periods and operating income in other periods, we also have a history of generating significant positive cash flows from our operations. We had net income of approximately $27.1 million, $133.8 million, and $13.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We had positive cash flow from operations of $54.4 million, $32.8 million and $40.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. We expect to fund our working capital requirements, capital expenditures and payments of principal and interest on outstanding indebtedness, with cash on hand and cash flows from operations. We currently anticipate that funds generated from operations, cash on hand and available borrowings under our 2013 Credit Facility will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. The following discussion pertains to our Notes and the related indenture governing the Notes, or the Indenture, as the same existed during the year ended December 31, 2013. On August 2, 2013, we redeemed the then outstanding Notes and the Indenture was terminated. Accordingly, only certain provisions of the Notes and the Indenture are summarized below. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes and the Indenture. On July 27, 2010, we completed the offering and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes. The Notes were issued at a discount to 98.722% of their principal amount and mature on August 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes accrued at a rate of 8.75% per annum from the date of original issuance and was payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2011. We received net proceeds of approximately $388 million from the sale of the Notes (net of bond discount of $5 million and fees of $7 million), which were used to pay all indebtedness then outstanding under our previous syndicated bank credit facility, terminate the related interest rate swap agreements, pay fees and expenses related to offering of the Notes and for general corporate purposes. During the fourth quarter of 2011, we repurchased Notes on the open market with a principal amount of $16.2 million. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.4 million primarily due to the write off of unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount. During the second quarter of 2012, we repurchased Notes with a principal amount of $20.0 million pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 103% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.2 million related to the premium paid and the write off of unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we repurchased Notes with a principal amount of $40.0 million pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 103% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. We recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.5 million related to the premium paid and the write off of unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount. 51 The Notes were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Note Guarantors. The Notes and the guarantees ranked equal in right of payment to all of our and the guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of our and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the Notes and the guarantees were effectively junior: (i) to our and the Note Guarantors’ indebtedness secured by assets that are not collateral; (ii) pursuant to an Intercreditor Agreement entered into at the same time that we entered into a previous credit facility in July 2010; and (iii) to all of the liabilities of any of our existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. The Notes were secured by substantially all of our assets, as well as the pledge of the stock of substantially all of our subsidiaries, including the special purpose subsidiary formed to hold the Company’s FCC licenses. We had a right to redeem: (cid:120) prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 10% of the original principal amount of the Notes during each 12- month period beginning on August 1, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; (cid:120) prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds from certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.750% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that: (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and (ii) such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of closing of any such equity offering; (cid:120) prior to August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest; and (cid:120) on or after August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes may be redeemed at a redemption price of: (i) 106.563% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2013; (ii) 104.375% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2014; (iii) 102.188% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2015; and (iv) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed on or after August 1, 2016, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest. As discussed in more detail below, on August 2, 2013, we redeemed the then outstanding Notes and the Indenture was terminated. 2012 Credit Facility The following discussion pertains to our 2012 Credit Facility. The 2012 Credit Facility was terminated on May 31, 2013 when we entered into our 2013 Credit Facility. Accordingly, the following discussion summarizes only certain provisions of the 2012 Credit Facility and the 2012 Credit Agreement. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2012 Credit Agreement. On December 20, 2012, we entered into the 2012 Credit Facility pursuant to the 2012 Credit Agreement. The 2012 Credit Facility consisted of a four-year $20 million term loan facility and a four-year $30 million revolving credit facility that expired on December 20, 2016, which included a $3 million sub-facility for letters of credit. Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility bore interest at either: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement); or (ii) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). The 2012 Credit Facility was guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Guarantors. The 2012 Credit Facility was secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and the Credit Guarantors’ assets, which also secured the Notes. The Company’s borrowings, if any, under the 2012 Credit Facility ranked senior to the Notes upon the terms set forth in the Intercreditor Agreement that the Company entered into in connection with the credit facility that was in effect at that time. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contained additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by the Company and the Credit Guarantors. In connection with the Company entering into the Indenture and the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors also entered into the following agreements: (cid:120) a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors each granted a first priority security interests in the collateral securing the Notes and the 2012 Credit Facility for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and the lender under the 2012 Credit Facility; and 52 (cid:120) an Intercreditor Agreement, in order to define the relative rights of the holders of the Notes and the lender under the 2012 Credit Facility with respect to the collateral securing the Company’s and the Guarantors’ respective obligations under the Notes and the 2012 Credit Facility; and (cid:120) a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company registered the Notes and successfully conducted an exchange offering for the Notes in unregistered form, as originally issued. Subject to certain exceptions, either the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Indenture, or both contained various provisions that limited our ability, among other things, to engage in certain transactions, make dividend payments and dispose of certain assets, as more fully provided therein. 2013 Credit Facility On May 31, 2013, we entered into our 2013 Credit Facility pursuant to the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2013 Credit Facility consists of a $20.0 million senior secured Term Loan A Facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”), a $375.0 million senior secured Term Loan B Facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”; and together with the Term Loan A Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) which was drawn on August 1, 2013 (the “Term Loan B Borrowing Date”), and a $30.0 million senior secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In addition, the 2013 Credit Facility provides that we may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Credit Facility by up to an additional $100.0 million, subject to us satisfying certain conditions. Borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility were used on the Closing Date (together with cash on hand) to (a) repay in full all of our and our subsidiaries’ outstanding obligations under the 2012 Credit Agreement and to terminate the 2012 Credit Agreement, and (b) pay fees and expenses in connection the 2013 Credit Facility. As discussed in more detail below, on August 1, 2013, we drew on borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility to (a) repay in full all of the outstanding loans under the Term Loan A Facility and (b) redeem in full all of the then outstanding Notes. We intend to use any future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to provide for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes and from time to time fund a portion of any acquisitions in which we may engage, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2013 Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by the Credit Parties. The 2013 Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by our and the Credit Parties’ assets. Upon the redemption of the outstanding Notes, the security interests and guaranties of us and the Credit Parties under the Indenture and the Notes were terminated and released. Our borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement); or (ii) LIBOR (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement). As of December 31, 2013, our effective interest rate was 3.5%. The Term Loan A Facility expired on the Term Loan B Borrowing Date, which was August 1, 2013. The Term Loan B Facility expires on the Term Loan B Maturity Date, which is May 31, 2020 and the Revolving Credit Facility expires on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date, which is May 31, 2018. As defined in the 2013 Credit Facility, “Applicable Margin” means: (a) with respect to the Term Loans (i) if a Base Rate Loan, one and one half percent (1.50%) per annum and (ii) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum; and (b) with respect to the Revolving Loans: (i) for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the last day of the calendar month during which financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013 are delivered: (A) if a Base Rate Loan, one and one half percent (1.50%) per annum and (B) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum; and 53 (ii) thereafter, the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans shall equal the applicable LIBOR margin or Base Rate margin in effect from time to time determined as set forth below based upon the applicable First Lien Net Leverage Ratio then in effect pursuant to the appropriate column under the table below: First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (cid:116) 4.50 to 1.00 ...................................................................... < 4.50 to 1.00 ...................................................................... LIBOR Margin Base Rate Margin 1.50 % 1.25 % 2.50% 2.25% In the event we engage in a transaction that has the effect of reducing the yield of any loans outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility within six months of the Term Loan B Borrowing Date, we will owe 1% of the amount of the loans so repriced or replaced to the Lenders thereof (such fee, the “Repricing Fee”). Other than the Repricing Fee, the amounts outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility may be prepaid at our option without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations are observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a LIBOR rate loan. The principal amount of the (i) Term Loan A Facility shall be paid in full on the Term Loan B Borrowing Date, (ii) Term Loan B Facility shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Term Loan B Maturity Date and (iii) Revolving Credit Facility shall be due on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Subject to certain exceptions, the 2013 Credit Facility contains covenants that limit the ability of us and the Credit Parties to, among other things: (cid:120) incur additional indebtedness or change or amend the terms of any senior indebtedness, subject to certain conditions; (cid:120) incur liens on the property or assets of us and the Credit Parties; (cid:120) dispose of certain assets; (cid:120) consummate any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all assets; (cid:120) make certain investments; (cid:120) enter into transactions with affiliates; (cid:120) use loan proceeds to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other prohibited purpose; (cid:120) incur certain contingent obligations; (cid:120) make certain restricted payments; and (cid:120) enter new lines of business, change accounting methods or amend the organizational documents of us or any Credit Party in any materially adverse way to the agent or the lenders. The 2013 Credit Facility also requires compliance with a financial covenant related to total net leverage ratio (calculated as set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement) in the event that the revolving credit facility is drawn. The 2013 Credit Facility also provides for certain customary events of default, including the following: (cid:120) default for three (3) business days in the payment of interest on borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility when due; (cid:120) default in payment when due of the principal amount of borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility; (cid:120) failure by us or any Credit Party to comply with the negative covenants, financial covenants (provided, that, an event of default under the Term Loan Facilities will not have occurred due to a violation of the financial covenants until the revolving lenders have terminated their commitments and declared all obligations to be due and payable), and certain other covenants relating to maintenance of customary property insurance coverage, maintenance of books and accounting records and permitted uses of proceeds from borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility, each as set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement; (cid:120) failure by us or any Credit Party to comply with any of the other agreements in the 2013 Credit Agreement and related loan documents that continues for thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days in the case of certain financial statement delivery obligations) after officers of us first become aware of such failure or first receive written notice of such failure from any lender; (cid:120) default in the payment of other indebtedness if the amount of such indebtedness aggregates to $15.0 million or more, or failure to comply with the terms of any agreements related to such indebtedness if the holder or holders of such indebtedness can cause such indebtedness to be declared due and payable; (cid:120) failure of us or any Credit Party to pay, vacate or stay final judgments aggregating over $15.0 million for a period of thirty (30) days after the entry thereof; (cid:120) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to us or any Credit Party; 54 (cid:120) certain change of control events; (cid:120) the revocation or invalidation of any agreement or instrument governing the Notes or any subordinated indebtedness, including the Intercreditor Agreement; and (cid:120) any termination, suspension, revocation, forfeiture, expiration (without timely application for renewal) or material adverse amendment of any material media license. In connection with our entering into the 2013 Credit Agreement, we and the Credit Parties also entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, pursuant to which we and the Credit Parties each granted a first priority security interest in the collateral securing the 2013 Credit Facility for the benefit of the lenders under the 2013 Credit Facility. On August 1, 2013, we drew on borrowings under our Term Loan B Facility. The borrowings were used to (i) repay in full all of the outstanding loans under our Term Loan A Facility; (ii) redeem in full and terminate all of its outstanding obligations (the “Redemption”) on August 2, 2013 (the “Redemption Date”) under the Indenture, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $324 million, and (iii) pay any fees and expenses in connection therewith. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 106.563% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. The Redemption constituted a complete redemption of the then outstanding Notes, such that no amount remained outstanding following the Redemption. Accordingly, the Indenture has been satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms and the Notes have been cancelled, effective as of the Redemption Date. On December 31, 2013, we made a prepayment $10 million to reduce the amount of loans outstanding under our Term Loan B Facility. Also on December 30, 2014, we made a prepayment $20 million to reduce the amount of loans outstanding under our Term Loan B Facility. Debt and Equity Financing On August 18, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On November 25, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the share repurchase program with a repurchase authorization of up to an additional $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, for a total repurchase authorization of up to $20.0 million. Under the share repurchase program we were authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice As of December 31, 2014, we repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $5.08, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.5 million. Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA Consolidated adjusted EBITDA (as defined below) increased to $79.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 from $73.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, an increase of $6.3 million, or 9%. As a percentage of net revenue, consolidated adjusted EBITDA remained flat at 33% for the each of the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non- cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our 2013 Credit Facility and does not include gain (loss) on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. Since our ability to borrow from our 2013 Credit Facility is based on a consolidated adjusted EBITDA financial covenant, we believe that it is important to disclose consolidated adjusted EBITDA to our investors. Our 2013 Credit Facility contains a total net leverage ratio financial covenant in the event that the revolving credit facility is drawn. The total net leverage ratio, or the ratio of consolidated total debt (net of up to $20 million of unrestricted cash) to trailing-twelve-month consolidated adjusted EBITDA, affects both our ability to borrow from our 2013 Credit Facility and our applicable margin for the interest rate calculation. Under our 2013 Credit Facility, our maximum total leverage ratio may not exceed 6.50 to 1 in the event that the revolving credit facility is drawn. The total leverage ratio was as follows (in each case as of December 31): 2014, 4.0 to 1; 2013, 4.7 to 1. Therefore, we were in compliance with this covenant at each of those dates. 55 While many in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash gain (loss) on sale of assets, non- cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment charge, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, net interest expense, other income (loss), gain (loss) on debt extinguishment, income tax (expense) benefit, equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, non-cash losses and syndication programming amortization and includes syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to make executive compensation decisions. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation of consolidated adjusted EBITDA to cash flows from operating activities, its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, please see page 46. Cash Flow Net cash flow provided by operating activities was $54.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014 compared to net cash flow provided by operating activities of $32.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. We had net income of $27.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, which was partially offset by non-cash items, including depreciation and amortization expense of $14.7 million, and deferred income taxes of $17.6 million. We had net income of $133.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was primarily a result of the reversal of $144.0 million of our valuation allowance, partially offset by other non-cash items, including a loss on debt extinguishment of $29.7 million, and depreciation and amortization expense of $15.0 million. We expect to have positive cash flow from operating activities for the 2015 year. Net cash flow used in investing activities was $23.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to net cash flow used in investing activities of $10.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we acquired Pulpo for $15.0 million and spent $8.6 million on net capital expenditures. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we spent $10.2 million on net capital expenditures. We anticipate that our capital expenditures will be approximately $13.5 million during the full year 2015. The amount of our anticipated capital expenditures may change based on future changes in business plans, our financial condition and general economic conditions. We expect to fund capital expenditures with cash on hand and net cash flow from operations. Net cash flow used in financing activities was $43.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to net cash flow used in financing activities of $14.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we made debt payments of $23.8 million, repurchased our Class A shares for $12.5 million, and made dividend payments of $8.9 million. During the year ended December 31, 2013, we made debt payments of $381.7 million, a dividend payment of $11.0 million and received net proceeds of $375 million for the new term loan as part of the 2013 Credit Facility. Commitments and Contractual Obligations Our material contractual obligations at December 31, 2014 are as follows (in thousands): Contractual Obligations Long Term Debt and related interest (1) Media research and ratings providers (2) Operating leases (3) Other material non-cancelable contractual obligations (4) Total contractual obligations Total amounts committed $ 412,898 $ 18,093 68,877 7,817 $ 507,685 $ Payments Due by Period Less than 1 year 1-3 years 3-5 years More than 5 years 15,661 $ 12,326 8,812 1,819 38,618 $ 37,364 $ 5,767 14,079 3,493 60,703 $ — 10,979 2,505 33,621 $ 326,252 — 35,007 — 47,105 $ 361,259 (1) These amounts represent estimated future cash interest payments and mandatory principal payments related to our 2013 Credit Facility. Future interest payments could differ materially from amounts indicated in the table due to future operational and financing needs, market factors and other currently unanticipated events. (2) We have agreements with certain media research and ratings providers, expiring at various dates through December 2016, to provide television and radio audience measurement services. 56 (3) We lease facilities and broadcast equipment under various operating lease agreements with various terms and conditions, expiring at various dates through September 2059. These amounts do not include month-to-month leases. (4) These amounts consist primarily of obligations for sales software licenses. Due to the uncertainty with respect to the timing of future cash flows associated with our unrecognized tax benefits at December 31, 2014, we are unable to make reasonably reliable estimates of the period of cash settlement with the respective taxing authorities. Therefore, $0.9 million of liabilities related to uncertain tax positions have been excluded from the table above. We have also entered into employment agreements with certain of our key employees, including Walter F. Ulloa, Jeffery A. Liberman, Mario M. Carrera and Christopher T. Young. Our obligations under these agreements are not reflected in the table above. Other than lease commitments, legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business and employment contracts for key employees, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries or any interests in or relationships with any variable-interest entities that are not included in our consolidated financial statements. Application of Critical Accounting Policies and Accounting Estimates Critical accounting policies are defined as those that are the most important to the accurate portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations. Critical accounting policies require management’s subjective judgment and may produce materially different results under different assumptions and conditions. We have discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors, and the Audit Committee has reviewed and approved our related disclosure in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations. Goodwill We believe that the accounting estimates related to the fair value of our reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets and our estimates of the useful lives of our long-lived assets are “critical accounting estimates” because: (1) goodwill and other intangible assets are our most significant assets, and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on our balance sheet, as well as on our results of operations, could be material. Accordingly, the assumptions about future cash flows on the assets under evaluation are critical Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. We test our goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually on the first day of our fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if certain events or certain changes in circumstances indicate they may be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, we must make a series of assumptions about such things as the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these assets. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the fair values of our reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. We have determined that each of our operating segments is a reporting unit. If a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is equal to or greater than that reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists and the testing is complete at the first step. However, if the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the estimated fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment of goodwill, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, then an impairment exists and an impairment loss is recorded for the amount of the difference. We applied the guidance of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-8, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-8”), for the year ended December 31, 2014. Under this guidance, we would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless we determine, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. We performed a qualitative assessment of the television reporting unit in accordance with ASU 2011-8 and determined that it was more likely than not that its fair value was greater than its carrying amount. We did not reach a definitive conclusion on the radio reporting unit under ASU 2011-8 so we performed the first step of goodwill impairment testing and compared the fair value of the radio reporting unit to its carrying amount. As of December 31, 2014, we had $35.9 million of goodwill in our television reporting unit. We performed a qualitative assessment of the television reporting unit and determined that it was more likely than not that its fair value was greater than its carrying amount so we were not required to calculate the fair value of the television reporting unit. In the prior year, the fair value of our television reporting unit was greater than the carrying value by 215%. Therefore, we do not believe that we are at risk of failing step one of the goodwill impairment test in our television reporting unit for at least the foreseeable future. If it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount in future periods, we would, at that time, have to proceed to the two-step process of goodwill impairment testing. 57 The carrying value of our radio reporting unit exceeded the fair value so we performed the second step of goodwill impairment testing and determined to write down the remaining radio goodwill from $0.7 million to $0 during our 2014 annual impairment test so we do not have any goodwill in our radio reporting unit at December 31, 2014. Please see “Sensitivity of Critical Accounting Estimates – Radio” below. The estimated fair value of goodwill is determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The market approach estimates fair value by applying sales, earnings and cash flow multiples to each reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics to our reporting units. The market approach requires us to make a series of assumptions, such as selecting comparable companies and comparable transactions and transaction premiums. The current economic conditions have led to a decrease in the number of comparable transactions, which makes the market approach of comparable transactions and transaction premiums more difficult to estimate than in previous years. The income approach estimates fair value based on our estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of that reporting unit. The income approach also requires us to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. We estimated our discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to us. We also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. We estimated our revenue projections and profit margin projections based on internal forecasts about future performance. Uncertain economic conditions, fiscal policy and other factors beyond our control potentially could have an adverse effect on the capital markets, which would affect the discount rate assumptions, terminal value estimates, transaction premiums and comparable transactions. Such uncertain economic conditions could also have an adverse effect on the fundamentals of our business and results of operations, which would affect our internal forecasts about future performance and terminal value estimates. Furthermore, such uncertain economic conditions could have a negative impact on the advertising industry in general or the industries of those customers who advertise on our stations, including, among others, the automotive, financial and other services, telecommunications, travel and restaurant industries, which in the aggregate provide a significant amount of our historical and projected advertising revenue. The activities of our competitors, such as other broadcast television stations and radio stations, could have an adverse effect on our internal forecasts about future performance and terminal value estimates. Changes in technology or our audience preferences, including increased competition from other forms of advertising-based mediums, such as Internet, social media and broadband content providers serving the same markets, could have an adverse effect on our internal forecasts about future performance, terminal value estimates and transaction premiums. Finally, the risk factors that we identify from time to time in our SEC reports could have an adverse effect on our internal forecasts about future performance, terminal value estimates and transaction premiums. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for the purpose of our goodwill impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding internal forecasts of future performance of our business as a whole or of our units are not achieved, if market conditions change and affect the discount rate, or if there are lower comparable transactions and transaction premiums, we may be required to record additional goodwill impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future change in our assumptions would have an adverse impact on our valuation models and result in impairment, or if it does, whether such impairment charge would be material. Indefinite Life Intangible Assets We believe that our broadcast licenses are indefinite life intangible assets. An intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite useful life when there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or any other factors that may limit the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The evaluation of impairment for indefinite life intangible assets is performed by a comparison of the asset’s carrying value to the asset’s fair value. When the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount of the difference. The unit of accounting used to test broadcast licenses represents all licenses owned and operated within an individual market cluster, because such licenses are used together, are complimentary to each other and are representative of the best use of those assets. Our individual market clusters consist of cities or nearby cities. We test our broadcasting licenses for impairment based on certain assumptions about these market clusters. 58 The estimated fair value of indefinite life intangible assets is determined by using an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each market cluster that a hypothetical buyer would expect to generate, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk. The income approach requires us to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. We estimate the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to us. We also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. We estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on various market clusters signal coverage of the markets and industry information for an average station within a given market. The information for each market cluster includes such things as estimated market share, estimated capital start- up costs, population, household income, retail sales and other expenditures that would influence advertising expenditures. Alternatively, some stations under evaluation have had limited relevant cash flow history due to planned or actual conversion of format or upgrade of station signal. The assumptions we make about cash flows after conversion are based on the performance of similar stations in similar markets and potential proceeds from the sale of the assets. The fair values of our television FCC licenses for each of our market clusters exceeded the carrying values in amounts ranging from 38% to over 500%. The fair values of our radio FCC licenses for each of our market clusters exceeded the carrying values in amounts ranging from 14% to over 75%. Uncertain economic conditions, fiscal policy and other factors beyond our control potentially could have an adverse effect on the capital markets, which would affect the discount rate assumptions, terminal value estimates, transaction premiums and comparable transactions. Such uncertain economic conditions could also have an adverse effect on the fundamentals of our business and results of operations, which would affect our internal forecasts about future performance and terminal value estimates. Furthermore, such uncertain economic conditions could have a negative impact on the advertising industry in general or the industries of those customers who advertise on our stations, including, among others, the automotive, financial and other services, telecommunications, travel and restaurant industries, which in the aggregate provide a significant amount of our historical and projected advertising revenue. The activities of our competitors, such as other broadcast television stations and radio stations, could have an adverse effect on our internal forecasts about future performance and terminal value estimates. Changes in technology or our audience preferences, including increased competition from other forms of advertising-based mediums, such as Internet, social media and broadband content providers serving the same markets, could have an adverse effect on our internal forecasts about future performance, terminal value estimates and transaction premiums. Finally, the risk factors that we identify from time to time in our SEC reports could have an adverse effect on our internal forecasts about future performance, terminal value estimates and transaction premiums. There can be no assurance that our estimates and assumptions made for the purposes of our impairment testing will prove to be accurate predictions of the future. If our assumptions regarding internal forecasts of future performance of our business as a whole or of our units are not achieved, if market conditions change and affect the discount rate, or if there are lower comparable transactions and transaction premiums, we may be required to record additional impairment charges in future periods. It is not possible at this time to determine if any such future change in our assumptions would have an adverse impact on our valuation models and result in impairment, or if it does, whether such impairment charge would be material. Long-Lived Assets, Including Intangibles Subject to Amortization Depreciation and amortization of our long-lived assets is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances, changes to our business model or changes in our capital strategy could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. In those cases where we determine that the useful life of a long-lived asset should be revised, we will depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. 59 Deferred Taxes Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is determined to be more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. In evaluating our ability to realize net deferred tax assets, we consider all reasonably available evidence including our past operating results, tax strategies and forecasts of future taxable income. In considering these factors, we make certain assumptions and judgments that are based on the plans and estimates used to manage our business. We recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Revenue Recognition Television and radio revenue related to the sale of advertising is recognized at the time of broadcast. Revenue contracts with advertising agencies are recorded at an amount that is net of the commission retained by the agency. Revenue from contracts that we enter into directly with our advertisers is recorded at gross revenue and the related commission or national representation fee is recorded in operating expense. Cash payments received prior to services rendered result in deferred revenue, which is then recognized as revenue when the advertising time or space is actually provided. Digital related revenue is recognized when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the websites of our third-party publishers. We generate interactive revenues under arrangements that are sold on a stand-alone basis and those that are sold on a combined basis that are integrated with our broadcast revenue and reported within the television and radio segments. We have determined that these integrated revenue arrangements include multiple deliverables and have separated them into different units of accounting based on their relative sales price based upon management’s best estimate. Revenue for each unit of accounting is recognized as it is earned. We also generate revenue from retransmission consent agreements that are entered into with MVPDs. We refer to such revenue as retransmission consent revenue, which represents payments from MVPDs for access to our television station signals so that they may rebroadcast our signals and charge their subscribers for this programming. We recognize retransmission consent revenue when it is accrued pursuant to the agreements we have entered into with respect to such revenue. In August 2008, we entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which we granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for our Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years, expiring in December 2014, which Univision and we have extended through March 31, 2015. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to us by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with MVPDs. Allowance for Doubtful Accounts Our accounts receivable consist of a homogeneous pool of relatively small dollar amounts from a large number of customers. We evaluate the collectibility of our trade accounts receivable based on a number of factors. When we are aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, a specific reserve for bad debts is estimated and recorded which reduces the recognized receivable to the estimated amount we believe will ultimately be collected. In addition to specific customer identification of potential bad debts, bad debt charges are recorded based on our recent past loss history and an overall assessment of past due trade accounts receivable amounts outstanding. Derivative Instruments We use derivatives in the management of interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. Our current policy prohibits entering into derivative instruments for speculation or trading purposes. We are party to interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions that will fix the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) of our interest rate on a portion of its term loan beginning December 31, 2015. 60 ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires us to recognize all of our derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and further, on the type of hedging relationship. The interest rate swap agreements were designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge; therefore, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is a component of other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements will be immediately recognized directly to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The carrying amount of our interest rate swap agreements is recorded at fair value, including non-performance risk, when material. The fair value of each interest rate swap agreement is determined by using multiple broker quotes, adjusted for non- performance risk, when material, which estimate the future discounted cash flows of any future payments that may be made under such agreements. Additional Information For additional information on our significant accounting policies, please see Note 2 to Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40); Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. Sensitivity of Critical Accounting Estimates We have critical accounting estimates that are sensitive to change. The most significant of those sensitive estimates relates to the impairment of intangible assets. Goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets are not amortized but instead are tested annually on October 1 for impairment, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, we must make assumptions about the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these assets. 61 Television In calculating the estimated fair value of our television FCC licenses, we used models that rely on various assumptions, such as future cash flows, discount rates and multiples. The estimates of future cash flows assume that the television segment revenues will increase significantly faster than the increase in the television expenses, and therefore the television assets will also increase in value. If any of the estimates of future cash flows, discount rates, multiples or assumptions were to change in any future valuation, it could affect our impairment analysis and cause us to record an additional expense for impairment. We conducted a review of our television indefinite life intangible assets by using an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each market cluster that a hypothetical buyer would expect to generate, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk. The income approach requires us to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. We estimate the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to us. We also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. We estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on various market clusters signal coverage of the markets and industry information for an average station within a given market. The information for each market cluster includes such things as estimated market share, estimated capital start- up costs, population, household income, retail sales and other expenditures that would influence advertising expenditures. Based on the assumptions and estimates described above, we did not record impairment in 2014 as the fair values of our television FCC licenses for each of our market clusters was greater than their respective carrying values. The fair values exceeded the carrying values in amounts ranging from 38% to over 500%. We conducted our annual review of our television reporting unit in accordance with ASU 2011-8 and determined that it is more likely than not that its fair value is greater than its carrying amount. During our qualitative assessment, we considered adverse events or circumstances which could affect the fair value of our television reporting unit. We considered macroeconomic conditions, the broadcasting industry, the Spanish-language advertising industry, cost factors, our financial performance, our share price and other relevant events in our analysis. We also took into consideration that the fair value of our television reporting unit was greater than the carrying value by 215% in the prior year impairment testing. Based on our analysis, we determined that it is more likely than not that our television reporting unit fair value exceeded its carrying value so no impairment of goodwill was recorded. Radio In calculating the estimated fair value of our radio reporting unit and FCC licenses, we used models that rely on various assumptions, such as future cash flows, discount rates and multiples. The estimates of future cash flows assume that the radio segment revenues will increase significantly faster than the increase in the radio expenses, and therefore the radio assets will also increase in value. If any of the estimates of future cash flows, discount rates, multiples or assumptions were to change in any future valuation, it could affect our impairment analysis and cause us to record an additional expense for impairment. We conducted a review of our radio indefinite life intangible assets by using an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each market cluster that a hypothetical buyer would expect to generate, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk. The income approach requires us to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. We estimate the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to us. We also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. We estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on various market clusters signal coverage of the markets and industry information for an average station within a given market. The information for each market cluster includes such things as estimated market share, estimated capital start- up costs, population, household income, retail sales and other expenditures that would influence advertising expenditures. Based on the assumptions and estimates described above, we did not record impairment in 2014 as the fair values of our radio FCC licenses for each of our market clusters was greater than their respective carrying values. The fair values exceeded the carrying values in amounts ranging from 14% to over 75%. 62 We conducted our annual review of our radio reporting unit as part of our goodwill testing and determined that the carrying value of our radio reporting unit exceeded the fair value. The fair value of the radio reporting unit was primarily determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The revenue projections and profit margin projections in the models are based on various market clusters signal coverage of the markets and industry information for an average station within a given market. The information for each market cluster includes such things as estimated market share, estimated capital start-up costs, population, household income, retail sales and other expenditures that would influence advertising expenditures. Alternatively, some stations under evaluation have had limited relevant cash flow history due to planned or actual conversion of format or upgrade of station signal. The assumptions about cash flows after conversion are based on the performance of similar stations in similar markets and potential proceeds from the sale of the assets. The market-based approach used comparable company earnings multiples. Based on the assumptions and estimates described above, we determined that our radio reporting unit carrying value exceeded its fair value and we recognized a goodwill impairment charge of $0.7 million in the fourth quarter of 2014, so we do not have any goodwill in our radio reporting unit at December 31, 2014. Impact of Inflation We believe that inflation has not had a material impact on our results of operations for each of our fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2014. However, there can be no assurance that future inflation would not have an adverse impact on our operating results and financial condition. ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK General Market risk represents the potential loss that may impact our financial position, results of operations or cash flows due to adverse changes in the financial markets. We are exposed to market risk from changes in the base rates on our Term Loan B. Under our 2013 Credit Facility, within two years from its commencement, we are required to enter into derivative financial instrument transactions, such as swaps or interest rate caps, for at least half of the principal balance, in order to manage or reduce our exposure to risk from changes in interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instrument transactions for speculative purposes. Interest Rates As of December 31, 2014, we had $340.3 million of variable rate bank debt outstanding under our 2013 Credit Facility. The debt bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 2.5%. The LIBOR rate is subject to a 1.0% floor effectively resulting in an effective interest rate of 3.5% at December 31, 2014. In the event LIBOR remains below the floor rate we will still have to pay the floor rate plus the margin. If LIBOR rises above the floor rate, we will have to pay the prevailing LIBOR rate plus the margin. Because our debt is subject to interest at a variable rate, our earnings will be affected in future periods by changes in interest rates. If LIBOR were to increase by 100 basis points, or one percentage point, from its December 31, 2014 level, our annual interest expense would increase and cash flow from operations would decrease by approximately $0.1 million based on the outstanding balance of our term loan as of December 31, 2014. As required by the terms of our 2013 Credit Agreement, on December 16, 2013, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregated notional amount of $186.0 million at a fixed rate of 2.73%, resulting in an all-in fixed rate of 5.23%. The interest rate swap agreements take effect on December 31, 2015 with a maturity date in December 31, 2018. Under these interest rate swap agreements, we pay at a fixed rate and receive payments at a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreements effectively fix the floating LIBOR-based interest of $186.0 million outstanding LIBOR-based debt. The interest rate swap agreements were designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge; therefore, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements will be immediately recognized directly to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was a loss of $2.4 million and a gain of $0.2 million, net of tax, respectively, and was included in other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2014, we estimate that none of the unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss related to these interest rate swap agreements will be realized and reported in earnings within the next twelve months. 63 ITEM 8. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND SUPPLEMENTARY DATA See pages F-1 through F-35. ITEM 9. CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE None. ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures We conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to ensure that the information relating to our company, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that, as of the evaluation date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective. Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting based on the framework in “Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013)” issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”). Based on our evaluation, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. The audited consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K, include the results of Pulpo from the date of acquisition. Management’s assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the year ended December 31, 2014 does not include an assessment of Pulpo, a wholly owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 0.4 and 3 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. The Pulpo acquisition is more fully described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements. Our independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, which has audited and reported on our financial statements, issued an attestation report regarding our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014. Grant Thornton LLP’s report is included in this annual report below. 64 Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls Our management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Changes in Internal Control There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2014 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. 65 REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM Board of Directors and Stockholders Entravision Communications Corporation We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Entravision Communications Corporation (a Delaware corporation) (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting (“Management’s Report”). Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. Our audit of, and opinion on, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting does not include the internal control over financial reporting of Pulpo Media, Inc. (“Pulpo”), a wholly-owned subsidiary, whose financial statements reflect total assets and revenues constituting 0.3 and 3 percent, respectively, of the related consolidated financial statement amounts as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014. As indicated in Management’s Report, Pulpo was acquired during 2014. Management’s assertion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting excluded internal control over financial reporting of Pulpo. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO. We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated March 6, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements. /s/ GRANT THORNTON LLP Los Angeles, California March 6, 2015 66 ITEM 9B.

Our audit of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule for the year ended December 31, 2014 listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a). These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Entravision Communications Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NATURE OF BUSINESS Nature of Business Entravision Communications Corporation (together with its subsidiaries, hereinafter referred to collectively as the “Company”) is a diversified media company serving Hispanic audiences primarily throughout the United States and the border markets of Mexico with a combination of television, radio, and digital media properties. The Company’s management has determined that the Company operates in three reportable segments as of December 31, 2014, based upon the type of advertising medium, which consist of television broadcasting, radio broadcasting, and digital media. The Company had previously operated in two reportable segments, television broadcasting and radio broadcasting. On June 18, 2014, the Company acquired Pulpo, a leading provider of digital advertising services and solutions focused on reaching Hispanic audiences in the U.S. and Latin America. Beginning with the third quarter of 2014, the Company created a new operating segment, digital media, which consists of the financial results of Pulpo Media, Inc. (“Pulpo”). The Company’s segments results reflect information presented on the same basis that is used for internal management reporting and it is also how the chief operating decision maker evaluates the business. The results of this new segment for the interim period between the acquisition date and the beginning of the third quarter were not considered significant for reclassification. Additionally, the digital segment was not significant to our operations prior to the acquisition of Pulpo (as discussed in Note 3), and therefore the segment information for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 has not been restated. As of December 31, 2014, the Company owns and/or operates 58 primary television stations located primarily in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Nevada, New Mexico, Texas and the Washington, D.C. area, consisting primarily of Univision Communications Inc. (“Univision”) affiliated stations. Radio operations consist of 49 operational radio stations, 38 FM and 11 AM, in 19 markets located primarily in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Nevada, New Mexico and Texas and a national sales representation firm, Entravision Solutions. The Company owns and operates a national sales representation firm, Entravision Solutions, through which we sell advertisements and syndicate radio programming to approximately 350 stations across the United States. The Company also owns and operates an online advertising platform that delivers digital advertising in a variety of formats to reach Hispanics audiences on Internet-connected devices. 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Consolidation and Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain amounts in the Company’s prior period consolidated financial statements and notes to the financial statements have been reclassified to conform to current period presentation. Variable Interest Entities The Company performs a qualitative analysis to determine if it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. This analysis includes consideration of who has the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance and who has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the variable interest entity that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity. The Company continuously reassesses whether it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Company has consolidated one entity for which it is the primary beneficiary. Total net assets and results of operations of the entity as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014 are not significant. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The Company’s operations are affected by numerous factors, including changes in audience acceptance (i.e. ratings), priorities of advertisers, new laws and governmental regulations and policies and technological advances. The Company cannot predict if any of these factors might have a significant impact on the television, radio, and digital advertising industries in the future, nor can it predict what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the Company’s operations and cash flows. Significant estimates and assumptions made by management are used for, but not limited to, the allowance for doubtful accounts, stock-based compensation, the estimated useful lives of long-lived and intangible assets, the recoverability of such assets by their estimated future F-9 undiscounted cash flows, the fair value of reporting units and indefinite life intangible assets, fair values of derivative instruments, disclosure of the fair value of debt, deferred income taxes and the purchase price allocations used in the Company’s acquisitions. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all short-term, highly liquid debt instruments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents consist of funds held in general checking accounts, money market accounts and commercial paper. Cash and cash equivalents are stated at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. Long-lived Assets, Other Assets and Intangibles Subject to Amortization Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and amortization are provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (see Note 5). The Company periodically evaluates assets to be held and used and long-lived assets held for sale, when events and circumstances warrant such review. Syndication contracts are recorded at cost. Syndication amortization is provided using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. Intangible assets subject to amortization are amortized on a straight-line method over their estimated useful lives (see Note 4). Favorable leasehold interests and pre-sold advertising contracts are amortized over the term of the underlying contracts. Deferred debt issuance costs are amortized over the life of the related indebtedness using the effective interest method. Changes in circumstances, such as the passage of new laws or changes in regulations, technological advances or changes to the Company’s business strategy, could result in the actual useful lives differing from initial estimates. Factors such as changes in the planned use of equipment, customer attrition, contractual amendments or mandated regulatory requirements could result in shortened useful lives. In those cases where the Company determines that the useful life of a long-lived asset should be revised, the Company will amortize or depreciate the net book value in excess of the estimated residual value over its revised remaining useful life. Long-lived assets and asset groups are evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable. The estimated future cash flows are based upon, among other things, assumptions about expected future operating performance, and may differ from actual cash flows. Long-lived assets evaluated for impairment are grouped with other assets to the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets and liabilities. If the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows (excluding interest) is less than the carrying value of the assets, the assets will be written down to the estimated fair value in the period in which the determination is made. Goodwill Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired in each business combination. The Company tests its goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually on the first day of its fourth fiscal quarter, or more frequently if certain events or certain changes in circumstances indicate they may be impaired. In assessing the recoverability of goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets, the Company must make a series of assumptions about such things as the estimated future cash flows and other factors to determine the fair value of these assets. Goodwill impairment testing is a two-step process. The first step is a comparison of the fair values of the Company’s reporting units to their respective carrying amounts. The Company has determined that each of its operating segments is a reporting unit. If a reporting unit’s estimated fair value is equal to or greater than that reporting unit’s carrying value, no impairment of goodwill exists and the testing is complete at the first step. However, if the reporting unit’s carrying amount is greater than the estimated fair value, the second step must be completed to measure the amount of impairment of goodwill, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of a reporting unit’s goodwill with its carrying amount to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. If the implied fair value of goodwill is less than the carrying value of goodwill, then an impairment exists and an impairment loss is recorded for the amount of the difference. The estimated fair value of goodwill is determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The market approach estimates fair value by applying sales, earnings and cash flow multiples to each reporting unit’s operating performance. The multiples are derived from comparable publicly-traded companies with similar operating and investment characteristics to the Company’s reporting units. The market approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as selecting comparable companies and comparable transactions and transaction premiums. The current economic conditions have led to a decrease in the number of comparable transactions, which makes the market approach of comparable transactions and transaction premiums more difficult to estimate than in previous years. F-10 The income approach estimates fair value based on the Company’s estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of that reporting unit. The income approach also requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. The Company estimated discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to the Company. The Company also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. The Company estimated revenue projections and profit margin projections based on internal forecasts about future performance. The Company has applied Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-8, “Testing Goodwill for Impairment” (“ASU 2011-8”), for the year ended December 31, 2014. Under this guidance, the Company would not be required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. Indefinite Ljfe Intangible Assets The Company believes that its broadcast licenses are indefinite life intangible assets. An intangible asset is determined to have an indefinite useful life when there are no legal, regulatory, contractual, competitive, economic or any other factors that may limit the period over which the asset is expected to contribute directly or indirectly to future cash flows. The evaluation of impairment for indefinite life intangible assets is performed by a comparison of the asset’s carrying value to the asset’s fair value. When the carrying value exceeds fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for the amount of the difference. The unit of accounting used to test broadcast licenses represents all licenses owned and operated within an individual market cluster, because such licenses are used together, are complimentary to each other and are representative of the best use of those assets. The Company’s individual market clusters consist of cities or nearby cities. The Company tests its broadcasting licenses for impairment based on certain assumptions about these market clusters. The estimated fair value of indefinite life intangible assets is determined by using an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each market cluster that a hypothetical buyer would expect to generate, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk. The income approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. The Company estimates the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to the Company. The Company also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. The Company estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on various market clusters signal coverage of the markets and industry information for an average station within a given market. The information for each market cluster includes such things as estimated market share, estimated capital start-up costs, population, household income, retail sales and other expenditures that would influence advertising expenditures. Alternatively, some stations under evaluation have had limited relevant cash flow history due to planned or actual conversion of format or upgrade of station signal. The assumptions the Company makes about cash flows after conversion are based on the performance of similar stations in similar markets and potential proceeds from the sale of the assets. Concentrations of Credit Risk and Trade Receivables The Company’s financial instruments that are exposed to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents and trade accounts receivable. The Company from time to time may have bank deposits in excess of the FDIC insurance limits. As of December 31, 2014, substantially all deposits are maintained in one financial institution. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and believes it is not exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and cash equivalents. The Company routinely assesses the financial strength of its customers and, as a consequence, believes that its trade receivable credit risk exposure is limited. Trade receivables are carried at original invoice amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts on a monthly basis. A valuation allowance is provided for known and anticipated credit losses, as determined by management in the course of regularly evaluating individual customer receivables. This evaluation takes into consideration a customer’s financial condition and credit history, as well as current economic conditions. Trade receivables are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of trade receivables previously written off are recorded when received. No interest is charged on customer accounts. Estimated losses for bad debts are provided for in the financial statements through a charge to expense that aggregated $0.4 million, (0.2) million and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. The net charge off of bad debts aggregated $0.9 million, $1.1 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. F-11 Dependence on Business Partners The Company is dependent on the continued financial and business strength of its business partners, such as the companies from whom it obtains programming. The Company could be at risk should any of these entities fail to perform their respective obligations to the Company. This in turn could materially adversely affect the Company’s own business, results of operations and financial condition. Disclosures About Fair Value of Financial Instruments The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate that value: The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of those instruments. As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was approximately $340.3 million and $364.1 million, respectively, based on an income approach which projects expected future cash flows and discounts them using a rate based on industry and market yields. The carrying values of receivables, payables and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments. Derivative Instruments The Company uses derivatives in the management of interest rate risk with respect to interest expense on variable rate debt. The Company’s current policy prohibits entering into derivative instruments for speculation or trading purposes. The Company is party to interest rate swap agreements with financial institutions that will fix the variable benchmark component (LIBOR) of the Company’s interest rate on a portion of its term loan beginning December 31, 2015. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, requires the Company to recognize all of its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship, and further, on the type of hedging relationship. The interest rate swap agreements were designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge; therefore, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is a component of other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements will be immediately recognized directly to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. See Notes 8 and 9 for further discussion of derivative instruments. Off-balance Sheet Financings and Liabilities Other than lease commitments, legal contingencies incurred in the normal course of business, employment contracts for key employees and the interest rate swap agreements (see Notes 8, 9, 11 and 15), the Company does not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities. The Company does not have any majority-owned subsidiaries or any interests in, or relationships with, any material variable-interest entities that are not included in the consolidated financial statements. Income Taxes Deferred income taxes are provided on a liability method whereby deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences. Temporary differences are the differences between the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is determined to be more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment. F-12 In evaluating the Company’s ability to realize net deferred tax assets, the Company considers all reasonably available evidence including past operating results, tax strategies and forecasts of future taxable income. In considering these factors, the Company makes certain assumptions and judgments that are based on the plans and estimates used to manage the business. The Company recognizes the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more likely than not the tax position will be sustained on examination by the taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such positions are then measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon settlement. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Advertising Costs Amounts incurred for advertising costs with third parties are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense totaled approximately $0.5 million, $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Legal Costs Amounts incurred for legal costs that pertain to loss contingencies are expensed as incurred. Repairs and Maintenance All costs associated with repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Revenue Recognition Television and radio revenue related to the sale of advertising is recognized at the time of broadcast. Revenue for contracts with advertising agencies is recorded at an amount that is net of the commission retained by the agency. Revenue from contracts directly with the advertisers is recorded at gross revenue and the related commission or national representation fee is recorded in operating expense. Cash payments received prior to services rendered result in deferred revenue, which is then recognized as revenue when the advertising time or space is actually provided. Digital related revenue is recognized when display or other digital advertisements record impressions on the websites of our third-party publishers. The Company also generates interactive revenue under arrangements that are sold on a standalone basis and those that are sold on a combined basis that are integrated with its broadcast revenue and reported within the television and radio segments. The Company has determined that these integrated revenue arrangements include multiple deliverables and has separated them into different units of accounting based on their relative sales price based upon management’s best estimate. Revenue for each unit of accounting is recognized as it is earned. In August 2008, the Company entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which the Company granted Univision the right to negotiate retransmission consent agreements for its Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years, expiring in December 2014. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to the Company by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with Multichannel Video Programming Distributors (“MVPDs”). The term of the proxy agreement extends with respect to any MVPD for the length of the term of any retransmission consent agreement in effect before the expiration of the proxy agreement. It is also our current intention to negotiate with Univision an extension of the current proxy agreement or a new proxy agreement; however, no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any such extension or new agreement or that any such extension or new agreement will be entered into. Revenue for the carriage of the Company’s Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals is recognized over the life of each agreement with the cable, satellite and internet-based television service providers. Advertising related to carriage of the Company’s Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals is recognized at the time of broadcast. Retransmission consent revenue was $26.4 million, $22.2 million and $20.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Trade Transactions The Company exchanges broadcast time for certain merchandise and services. Trade revenue is recognized when commercials air at the fair value of the goods or services received or the fair value of time aired, whichever is more readily determinable. Trade expense is recorded when the goods or services are used or received. Trade revenue was approximately $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Trade costs were approximately $0.5 million, $0.5 million and $0.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. F-13 Stock-Based Compensation The Company accounts for stock-based compensation according to the provisions of ASC 718, “Stock Compensation”, which requires the measurement and recognition of compensation expense for all stock-based awards made to employees and directors including employee stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, and employee stock purchases under the 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) based on estimated fair values. ASC 718 requires companies to estimate the fair value of stock options on the date of grant using an option pricing model. The fair value of restricted stock awards and restricted stock units is based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest has been reduced for estimated forfeitures and is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the consolidated statements of operations. Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant and revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates. The Company has selected the Black-Scholes option pricing model as the most appropriate method for determining the estimated fair value for stock options. The Black-Scholes option pricing model requires the use of highly subjective and complex assumptions which determine the fair value of stock-based awards, including the option’s expected term, expected volatility of the underlying stock, risk-free rate, and expected dividends. The expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock and other relevant factors. The expected term assumptions are based on the Company’s historical experience and on the terms and conditions of the stock-based awards. The risk free-rate is based on observed interest rates appropriate for the expected terms of the Company’s stock options. The dividend rate is based on the Company’s dividend policy. The Company classifies cash flows from excess tax benefits from exercised options in excess of the deferred tax asset attributable to stock-based compensation costs as financing cash flows. Earnings (Loss) Per Share The following table illustrates the reconciliation of the basic and diluted per share computations (in thousands, except share and per share data): Year Ended Year Ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2013 Year Ended 2014 2012 Basic earnings per share: Numerator: Net income (loss) Denominator: $ 27,122 $ 133,825 $ 13,601 Weighted average common shares outstanding, basic 88,680,322 87,401,123 85,882,646 Per share: Net income (loss) per share Diluted earnings per share: Numerator: Net income (loss) Denominator: $ $ 0.31 $ 1.53 $ 0.16 27,122 $ 133,825 $ 13,601 Weighted average common shares outstanding Dilutive securities: Stock options Restricted stock units Diluted shares outstanding 88,680,322 87,401,123 85,882,646 1,856,707 406,705 90,943,734 1,625,668 311,905 89,418 342,142 89,338,696 86,314,206 Per share: Net income (loss) per share $ 0.30 $ 1.50 $ 0.16 Basic earnings per share is computed as net income (loss) divided by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution, if any, that could occur from shares issuable through stock options and restricted stock awards. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, a total of 1,116,750, 5,670,908 and 8,573,761 shares of dilutive securities, respectively, were not included in the computation of diluted income per share because the exercise prices of the dilutive securities were greater than the average market price of the common shares. F-14 Comprehensive Income For the year ended December 31, 2014 the Company had other comprehensive loss, net of tax, of $2.4 million related to the fair value of swaps. For the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 the Company had other comprehensive income, net of tax, of $0.2, and $0, respectively, related to the fair value of swaps. Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) which amended the existing accounting standards for revenue recognition. ASU 2014-09 establishes principles for recognizing revenue upon the transfer of promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the expected consideration received in exchange for those goods or services. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The amendments may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption of the ASU on its consolidated financial statements. In August 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued ASU 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40); Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern. This update requires management to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. This update is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect this ASU to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption. 3. ACQUISITIONS Upon consummation of each acquisition the Company evaluates whether the acquisition constitutes a business. An acquisition is considered a business if it is comprised of a complete self-sustaining integrated set of activities and assets consisting of inputs and processes applied to those inputs that are used to generate revenues. For a transferred set of activities and assets to be a business, it must contain all of the inputs and processes necessary for it to continue to conduct normal operations after the transferred set is separated from the transferor, which includes the ability to sustain a revenue stream by providing its outputs to customers. A transferred set of activities and assets fails the definition of a business if it excludes one or more significant items such that it is not possible for the set to continue normal operations and sustain a revenue stream by providing its products and/or services to customers. All business acquisitions have been accounted for as purchase business combinations with the operations of the businesses included subsequent to their acquisition dates. The allocation of the respective purchase prices is generally based upon independent appraisals and or management’s estimates of the discounted future cash flows to be generated from the media properties for intangible assets, and replacement cost for tangible assets. Deferred income taxes are provided for temporary differences based upon management’s best estimate of the tax basis of acquired assets and liabilities that will ultimately be accepted by the applicable taxing authority. Pulpo Acquisition On June 18, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of 100% of the common stock of Pulpo, a leading provider of digital advertising services and solutions focused on Hispanics in the U.S. and Latin America. The Company acquired Pulpo in order to acquire an additional digital media platform that the Company believes will enhance its offerings to the U.S. Hispanic marketplace. The transaction was funded from the Company’s cash on hand, for an aggregate cash consideration of $15.0 million, net of cash acquired of $0.7 million, and contingent consideration with a fair value of $1.4 million as of the acquisition date. The following is a summary of the purchase price allocation for the Company’s acquisition of Pulpo (in millions): Accounts receivable Prepaids and other assets Property and equipment Intangible assets subject to amortization Goodwill Current liabilities Deferred income taxes $ 1.6 0.1 0.5 3.4 14.1 (1.8 ) (1.5 ) F-15 The acquisition of Pulpo includes a contingent consideration arrangement that requires additional consideration to be paid by the Company to Pulpo based upon the achievement of certain annual performance benchmarks over a three-year period. Any such additional consideration is payable 90 days after each fiscal year end beginning December 31, 2014. The range of the total undiscounted amounts the Company could pay under the contingent consideration agreement over the three-year period is between $0 and $3.0 million. The fair value of the contingent consideration recognized on the acquisition date of $1.4 million was estimated by applying the real options approach. Performance targets were achieved for the year ended December 31, 2014, and, accordingly, a payment of $1.0 million will be made to the sellers in 2015. As of December 31, 2014, the Company determined Pulpo is less likely to earn the full amount of the contingent consideration for the years 2015 and 2016 to. Therefore, the Company adjusted the fair value of the contingent consideration in the fourth quarter of 2014 to $1.3 million. The net impact of the contingent consideration adjustment was a reduction of $0.1 million and is included in corporate expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the assets acquired includes trade receivables of $1.6 million. The gross amount due under contract is $1.7 million, of which $0.1 million is expected to be uncollectable. The goodwill, which is not expected to be deductible for tax purposes, is assigned to the digital media segment and is attributable to Pulpo’s workforce and expected synergies from combining Pulpo’s operations with the Company’s. Pro forma results of operations for this acquisition have not been presented because the effect of this acquisition was not material to the Company’s financial condition or results of operations for any of the periods presented. 4. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS The carrying amount of goodwill for each of the Company’s operating segments for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands): Television Radio Digital Consolidated December 31, December 31, 2013 Acquisition Impairment 2014 $ $ 35,912 $ 735 — 36,647 $ — $ — 14,169 14,169 $ — $ (735) — (735) $ 35,912 — 14,169 50,081 The composition of the Company’s acquired intangible assets and the associated accumulated amortization as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands): 2014 2013 Weighted average remaining life in years Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Net Carrying Amount Intangible assets subject to amortization: Television network affiliation agreements .. Customer base Other 7 $65,089 $ 3 3,146 11 26,655 48,851 $ 16,238 $ 65,089 $ 2,211 746 1,744 25,655 935 24,911 46,530 $ 18,559 273 980 473 24,675 Total intangible assets subject to amortization Intangible assets not subject to amortization: FCC licenses Total intangible assets $94,890 $ 74,697 20,193 $ 91,490 $ 71,678 19,812 220,701 $240,894 220,701 $240,513 F-16 The aggregate amount of amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 was approximately $3.0 million, $2.5 million and $2.7 million, respectively. Estimated amortization expense for each of the years ended December 31, 2015 through 2019 is as follows (in thousands): Estimated Amortization Expense 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Amount $ 3,500 3,500 3,100 2,500 2,400 Impairment The Company has identified each of its three operating segments to be separate reporting units: television broadcasting, radio broadcasting, and digital media. The carrying values of the reporting units are determined by allocating all applicable assets (including goodwill) and liabilities based upon the unit in which the assets are employed and to which the liabilities relate, considering the methodologies utilized to determine the fair value of the reporting units. Goodwill and indefinite life intangibles are not amortized but are tested annually for impairment, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. The annual testing date is October 1. 2014 The Company conducted a review of the fair value of the radio reporting unit in 2014. The fair value of each reporting unit was primarily determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of that reporting unit. The income approach also requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. The Company estimated the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to the Company. The Company also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. The Company estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on internal forecasts about future performance. The market-based approach used comparable company earnings multiples. Based on the assumptions and projections, the radio reporting unit carrying value exceeded its fair value 2014. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.7 million relating to the radio reporting unit goodwill for the year ended December 31, 2014 so we do not have any goodwill in our radio reporting unit at December 31, 2014. The Company also conducted a review of the television reporting unit. The Company performed a qualitative assessment and determined that it is more likely than not that its fair value is greater than its carrying amount. As such, the two-step impairment test was unnecessary and no impairment of goodwill of the television reporting unit was recorded. The Company also conducted a review of the fair value of the television and radio FCC licenses in 2014. The estimated fair value of indefinite life intangible assets is determined by an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each market cluster that a hypothetical buyer would expect to generate, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the level of inherent risk. The income approach requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. The Company estimates the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to the Company. The Company also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. The Company estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on various market clusters signal coverage of the markets and industry information for an average station within a given market. The information for each market cluster includes such things as estimated market share, estimated capital start-up costs, population, household income, retail sales and other expenditures that would influence advertising expenditures. Alternatively, some stations under evaluation have had limited relevant cash flow history due to planned or actual conversion of format or upgrade of station signal. The assumptions the Company makes about cash flows after conversion are based on the performance of similar stations in similar markets and potential proceeds from the sale of the assets. Based on the assumptions and estimates, the Company did not record impairment of FCC licenses for the year ended December 31, 2014. F-17 2013 The Company conducted a review of the fair value of the television and radio reporting units in 2013. The fair value of each reporting unit was primarily determined by using a combination of a market approach and an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each reporting unit, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the overall level of inherent risk of that reporting unit. The income approach also requires the Company to make a series of assumptions, such as discount rates, revenue projections, profit margin projections and terminal value multiples. The Company estimated the discount rates on a blended rate of return considering both debt and equity for comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. These comparable publicly-traded companies have similar size, operating characteristics and/or financial profiles to the Company. The Company also estimated the terminal value multiple based on comparable publicly-traded companies in the television and radio industries. The Company estimated the revenue projections and profit margin projections based on internal forecasts about future performance. The market-based approach used comparable company earnings multiples. Based on the assumptions and projections, the television reporting unit fair value was greater than its carrying value. As a result, the television reporting unit passed the first step of the goodwill impairment test and no impairment of goodwill relating to the television reporting unit was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013. Based on the assumptions and projections, the television and radio reporting unit fair values were both greater than their respective carrying values in 2013. As a result, the Company passed the first step of the goodwill impairment test for both reporting units and no impairment of goodwill was recorded for the year ended December 31, 2013. The Company also conducted a review of the fair value of the television and radio FCC licenses in 2013. The estimated fair value of indefinite life intangible assets is determined by an income approach. The income approach estimates fair value based on the estimated future cash flows of each market cluster that a hypothetical buyer would expect to generate, discounted by an estimated weighted-average cost of capital that reflects current market conditions, which reflect the level of inherent risk.

Alternatively, some stations under evaluation have had limited relevant cash flow history due to planned or actual conversion of format or upgrade of station signal. The assumptions the Company makes about cash flows after conversion are based on the performance of similar stations in similar markets and potential proceeds from the sale of the assets. Based on the assumptions and estimates, the Company did not record impairment of FCC licenses for the year ended December 31, 2013. 5.

LONG-TERM DEBT Long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 is summarized as follows (in millions): Term Loan Less current maturities 2014 2013 $ $ 340.3 $ 3.8 336.5 $ 364.1 3.8 360.3 The scheduled maturities of long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 are as follows (in millions): Year 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Thereafter $ $ Amount 3.8 3.8 3.8 3.8 3.8 321.3 340.3 Notes The following discussion pertains to the Company’s 8.75% senior secured first lien notes due 2017, (the “Notes”), and the indenture governing the Notes, (the “Indenture”), as the same existed during the year ended December 31, 2013. On August 2, 2013, the Company redeemed the then outstanding Notes and the Indenture was terminated. Accordingly, only certain provisions of the Notes and the Indenture are summarized below. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Notes and the Indenture. On July 27, 2010, the Company completed the offering and sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 8.75% Senior Secured First Lien Notes (the “Notes”). The Notes were issued at a discount of 98.722% of their principal amount with a maturity date of August 1, 2017. Interest on the Notes accrued at a rate of 8.75% per annum from the date of original issuance and was payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing on February 1, 2011. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $388 million from the sale of the Notes (net of bond discount of $5 million and fees of $7 million), which were used to pay all indebtedness outstanding under the previous syndicated bank credit facility, terminate the related interest rate swap agreements, pay fees and expenses related to the offering of the Notes and for general corporate purposes. F-19 During the fourth quarter of 2011, the Company repurchased Notes on the open market with a principal amount of $16.2 million. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $0.4 million primarily due to the write off of unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount. During the second quarter of 2012, the Company repurchased Notes with a principal amount of $20.0 million pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 103% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.2 million related to the premium paid and the write off of unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount. During the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company repurchased Notes with a principal amount of $40.0 million pursuant to the optional redemption provisions in the Indenture. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 103% of the principal amount plus all accrued and unpaid interest. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $2.5 million related to the premium paid and the write off of unamortized finance costs and unamortized bond discount. The Notes were guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Note Guarantors”). The Notes and the guarantees ranked equal in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness. In addition, the Notes and the guarantees were effectively junior: (i) to the Company’s and the Note Guarantors’ indebtedness secured by assets that are not collateral; (ii) pursuant to a Collateral Trust and Intercreditor Agreement dated July 27, 2010 the Company entered into with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as the Trustee under the Indenture, and GE Capital, as the Collateral Trustee and as the administrative agent under the 2013 Credit Facility (the “Intercreditor Agreement”) at the same time that the Company entered into a previous credit facility that the Company entered into in July 2010; and (iii) to all of the liabilities of any of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries. The Notes were secured by substantially all of the assets, as well as the pledge of the stock of substantially all of the subsidiaries, including the special purpose subsidiary formed to hold the Company’s FCC licenses. The Company had the right to redeem: (cid:120) prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 10% of the original principal amount of the Notes during each 12- month period beginning on August 1, 2010, at a redemption price equal to 103% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; (cid:120) prior to August 1, 2013, on one or more occasions, up to 35% of the original principal amount of the Notes with the net proceeds from certain equity offerings, at a redemption price of 108.750% of the principal amount of the Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest; provided that: (i) at least 65% of the aggregate principal amount of all Notes issued under the Indenture remains outstanding immediately after such redemption; and (ii) such redemption occurs within 60 days of the date of closing of any such equity offering; (cid:120) prior to August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes plus a “make-whole” premium plus accrued and unpaid interest; and (cid:120) on or after August 1, 2013, some or all of the Notes, at a redemption price of: (i) 106.563% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2013; (ii) 104.375% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2014; (iii) 102.188% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on August 1, 2015; and (iv) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes if redeemed on or after August 1, 2016, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, upon a change of control of the Company, as defined in the Indenture, the Company would have been required to make an offer to repurchase all Notes then outstanding, at a purchase price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company had the right at any time and from time to time purchase Notes in the open market or otherwise. Upon an event of default, as defined in the Indenture, the Notes would have become due and payable: (i) immediately without further notice if such event of default arises from events of bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company, any Note Guarantor or any restricted subsidiary; or (ii) upon a declaration of acceleration of the Notes in writing to the Company by the Trustee or holders representing 25% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding, if an event of default occurs and is continuing. The Indenture contained additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by the Company and the Note Guarantors. In addition, the Indenture contained various provisions that limited the Company’s ability to: (i) apply the proceeds from certain asset sales other than in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; and (ii) restrict dividends or other payments from subsidiaries. F-20 For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized an increase of $0.3 million in interest expense, related to amortization of the bond discount. As discussed in more detail below, on August 2, 2013, the Company redeemed the then outstanding Notes and the Indenture was terminated. 2012 Credit Facility The following discussion pertains to a term loan and revolving credit facility of up to $50 million that the Company entered into on December 20, 2012 (the “2012 Credit Facility”), pursuant to an amended and restated agreement dated as of December 20, 2012 (the “2012 Credit Agreement”). The 2012 Credit Facility was terminated on May 31, 2013 when the Company entered into its current term loan and revolving credit facility of up to $405.0 million (the “2013 Credit Facility”). Accordingly, the following discussion summarizes only certain provisions of the 2012 Credit Facility and the 2012 Credit Agreement. This discussion is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the 2012 Credit Agreement. On December 20, 2012, the Company entered into the 2012 Agreement pursuant to the 2012 Credit Facility. The 2012 Credit Facility had an expiration date of December 20, 2016 and consisted of a four-year $20 million term loan facility and a four-year $30 million revolving credit facility, which included a $3 million sub-facility for letters of credit. Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Facility bore interest at either: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement); or (ii) LIBOR plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2012 Credit Agreement). The 2012 Credit Facility was guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Guarantors”), which were also the Note Guarantors (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The 2012 Credit Facility was secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and the Credit Guarantors’ assets, which also secured the Notes. The Company’s borrowings, if any, under the 2012 Credit Facility ranked senior to the Notes upon the terms set forth in an Intercreditor Agreement that the Company entered into in connection with the credit facility that was in effect at that time. The 2012 Credit Agreement also contained additional provisions that are customary for an agreement of this type, including indemnification by the Company and the Credit Guarantors. In connection with the Company entering into the Indenture and the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Company and the Guarantors also entered into the following agreements: (cid:120) a Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and the Guarantors each granted a first priority security interest in the collateral securing the Notes and the 2012 Credit Facility for the benefit of the holders of the Notes and the lender under the 2012 Credit Facility; and (cid:120) an Intercreditor Agreement, in order to define the relative rights of the holders of the Notes and the lender under the 2012 Credit Facility with respect to the collateral securing the Company’s and the Guarantors’ respective obligations under the Notes and the 2012 Credit Facility; and (cid:120) a Registration Rights Agreement, pursuant to which the Company registered the Notes and successfully conducted an exchange offering for the Notes in unregistered form, as originally issued. Subject to certain exceptions, either the 2012 Credit Agreement, the Indenture, or both contained various provisions that limited the Company’s ability, among other things, to engage in certain transactions, make acquisitions and dispose of certain assets, as more fully provided therein. 2013 Credit Facility On May 31, 2013, the Company entered into the 2013 Credit Facility pursuant to the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2013 Credit Facility consists of a $20.0 million senior secured Term Loan A Facility (the “Term Loan A Facility”), a $375.0 million senior secured Term Loan B Facility (the “Term Loan B Facility”; and together with the Term Loan A Facility, the “Term Loan Facilities”) which was drawn on August 1, 2013 (the “Term Loan B Borrowing Date”), and a $30.0 million senior secured Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In addition, the 2013 Credit Facility provides that the Company may increase the aggregate principal amount of the 2013 Credit Facility by up to an additional $100.0 million, subject to the Company satisfying certain conditions. F-21 Borrowings under the Term Loan A Facility were used on the closing date of the 2013 Credit Facility (the “Closing Date”) (together with cash on hand) to (a) repay in full all of the outstanding obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries under the 2012 Credit Agreement and to terminate the 2012 Credit Agreement, and (b) pay fees and expenses in connection with the 2013 Credit Facility. As discussed in more detail below, on August 1, 2013, the Company drew on the Company’s Term Loan B Facility to (a) repay in full all of the outstanding loans under the Term Loan A Facility and (b) redeem in full all of the then outstanding Notes. The Company intends to use any future borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility to provide for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes of the Company and from time to time fund a portion of certain acquisitions, in each case subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement. The 2013 Credit Facility is guaranteed on a senior secured basis by all of the Company’s existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (the “Credit Parties”). The 2013 Credit Facility is secured on a first priority basis by the Company’s and the Credit Parties’ assets. Upon the redemption of the then outstanding Notes, the security interests and guaranties of the Company and its Credit Parties under the Indenture and the Notes were terminated and released. The Company’s borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility bear interest on the outstanding principal amount thereof from the date when made at a rate per annum equal to either: (i) the Base Rate (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement); or (ii) LIBOR (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement) plus the Applicable Margin (as defined in the 2013 Credit Agreement). As of December 31, 2013, the Company’s effective interest rate was 3.5%. The Term Loan A Facility expired on the Term Loan B Borrowing Date, which was August 1, 2013. The Term Loan B Facility expires on May 31, 2020 (the “Term Loan B Maturity Date”) and the Revolving Credit Facility expires on May 31, 2018 (the “Revolving Loan Maturity Date”). As defined in the 2013 Credit Facility, “Applicable Margin” means: (a) with respect to the Term Loans (i) if a Base Rate Loan, one and one half percent (1.50%) per annum and (ii) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum; and (b) with respect to the Revolving Loans: (i) for the period commencing on the Closing Date through the last day of the calendar month during which financial statements for the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2013 are delivered: (A) if a Base Rate Loan, one and one half percent (1.50%) per annum and (B) if a LIBOR Rate Loan, two and one half percent (2.50%) per annum; and (ii) thereafter, the Applicable Margin for the Revolving Loans shall equal the applicable LIBOR margin or Base Rate margin in effect from time to time determined as set forth below based upon the applicable First Lien Net Leverage Ratio then in effect pursuant to the appropriate column under the table below: First Lien Net Leverage Ratio (cid:116) 4.50 to 1.00 ..................................................................................... < 4.50 to 1.00 ..................................................................................... LIBOR Margin Base Rate Margin 1.50% 1.25% 2.50 % 2.25 % In the event the Company engages in a transaction that has the effect of reducing the yield of any loans outstanding under the Term Loan B Facility within six months of the Term Loan B Borrowing Date, the Company will owe 1% of the amount of the loans so repriced or replaced to the Lenders thereof (such fee, the “Repricing Fee”). Other than the Repricing Fee, the amounts outstanding under the 2013 Credit Facility may be prepaid at the option of the Company without premium or penalty, provided that certain limitations are observed, and subject to customary breakage fees in connection with the prepayment of a LIBOR rate loan. The principal amount of the (i) Term Loan A Facility shall be paid in full on the Term Loan B Borrowing Date, (ii) Term Loan B Facility shall be paid in installments on the dates and in the respective amounts set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement, with the final balance due on the Term Loan B Maturity Date and (iii) Revolving Credit Facility shall be due on the Revolving Loan Maturity Date. Subject to certain exceptions, the 2013 Credit Agreement contains covenants that limit the ability of the Company and the Credit Parties to, among other things: (cid:120) incur additional indebtedness or change or amend the terms of any senior indebtedness, subject to certain conditions; (cid:120) incur liens on the property or assets of the Company and the Credit Parties; (cid:120) dispose of certain assets; (cid:120) consummate any merger, consolidation or sale of substantially all assets; (cid:120) make certain investments; (cid:120) enter into transactions with affiliates; (cid:120) use loan proceeds to purchase or carry margin stock or for any other prohibited purpose; F-22 (cid:120) incur certain contingent obligations; (cid:120) make certain restricted payments; and (cid:120) enter new lines of business, change accounting methods or amend the organizational documents of the Company or any Credit Party in any materially adverse way to the agent or the lenders. The 2013 Credit Agreement also requires compliance with a financial covenant related to total net leverage ratio (calculated as set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement) in the event that the revolving credit facility is drawn. The 2013 Credit Agreement also provides for certain customary events of default, including the following: (cid:120) default for three (3) business days in the payment of interest on borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility when due; (cid:120) default in payment when due of the principal amount of borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility; (cid:120) failure by the Company or any Credit Party to comply with the negative covenants, financial covenants (provided, that, an event of default under the Term Loan Facilities will not have occurred due to a violation of the financial covenants until the revolving lenders have terminated their commitments and declared all obligations to be due and payable), and certain other covenants relating to maintenance of customary property insurance coverage, maintenance of books and accounting records and permitted uses of proceeds from borrowings under the 2013 Credit Facility, each as set forth in the 2013 Credit Agreement; (cid:120) failure by the Company or any Credit Party to comply with any of the other agreements in the 2013 Credit Agreement and related loan documents that continues for thirty (30) days (or ten (10) days in the case of certain financial statement delivery obligations) after officers of the Company first become aware of such failure or first receive written notice of such failure from any lender; (cid:120) default in the payment of other indebtedness if the amount of such indebtedness aggregates to $15.0 million or more, or failure to comply with the terms of any agreements related to such indebtedness if the holder or holders of such indebtedness can cause such indebtedness to be declared due and payable; (cid:120) failure of the Company or any Credit Party to pay, vacate or stay final judgments aggregating over $15.0 million for a period of thirty (30) days after the entry thereof; (cid:120) certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency with respect to the Company or any Credit Party; (cid:120) certain change of control events; (cid:120) the revocation or invalidation of any agreement or instrument governing the Notes or any subordinated indebtedness, including the Intercreditor Agreement; and (cid:120) any termination, suspension, revocation, forfeiture, expiration (without timely application for renewal) or material adverse amendment of any material media license. In connection with the Company’s entering into the 2013 Credit Agreement, the Company and the Credit Parties also entered into an Amended and Restated Security Agreement, pursuant to which the Company and the Credit Parties each granted a first priority security interest in the collateral securing the 2013 Credit Facility for the benefit of the lenders under the 2013 Credit Facility. On August 1, 2013, the Company drew on borrowings under the Company’s Term Loan B Facility. The borrowings were used to (i) repay in full all of the outstanding loans under the Company’s Term Loan A Facility; (ii) redeem in full and terminate all of its outstanding obligations (the “Redemption”) on August 2, 2013 (the “Redemption Date”) under the Indenture, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $324 million, and (iii) pay any fees and expenses in connection therewith. The redemption price for the redeemed Notes was 106.563% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. The Redemption constituted a complete redemption of the then outstanding Notes, such that no amount remained outstanding following the Redemption. Accordingly, the Indenture has been satisfied and discharged in accordance with its terms and the Notes have been cancelled, effective as of the Redemption Date. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $29.7 million, primarily due to the premium associated with the redemption of the Notes, the unamortized bond discount and finance costs. On December 30, 2014, the Company made a prepayment of $20 million to reduce the amount of loans outstanding under the Term Loan B facility. On December 31, 2013, the Company made a prepayment of $10 million to reduce the amount of loans outstanding under the Term Loan B facility. F-23 The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Term Loan B as of December 31, 2014 were both $340.3 million. The estimated fair value is calculated using an income approach which projects expected future cash flows and discounts them using a rate based on industry and market yields. 8. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS The Company uses derivatives in the management of its interest rate risk with respect to its variable rate debt. The Company‘s strategy is to eliminate the cash flow risk on a portion of its variable rate debt caused by changes in the benchmark interest rate (LIBOR). Derivative instruments are not entered into for speculative purposes. As required by the terms of the Company’s 2013 Credit Agreement, on December 16, 2013, the Company entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with an aggregated notional amount of $186.0 million at a fixed rate of 2.73%, resulting in an all-in fixed rate of 5.23%. The interest rate swap agreements take effect on December 31, 2015 with a maturity date in December 31, 2018. Under these interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays at a fixed rate and receives payments at a variable rate based on three-month LIBOR. The interest rate swap agreements effectively fix the floating LIBOR-based interest of $186.0 million outstanding LIBOR-based debt. The interest rate swap agreements were designated and qualified as a cash flow hedge; therefore, the effective portion of the changes in fair value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Any ineffective portions of the changes in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements will be immediately recognized directly to interest expense in the consolidated statement of operations. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap agreements for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 was a loss of $2.4 million and a gain of $0.2 million, net of tax, respectively, and was included in other comprehensive income (loss). As of December 31, 2014, the Company estimates that none of the unrealized gains or losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss related to these interest rate swap agreements will be realized and reported in earnings within the next twelve months. The carrying amount of the interest rate swap agreements is recorded at fair value, including non-performance risk, when material. The fair value of each interest rate swap agreement is determined by using multiple broker quotes, adjusted for non- performance risk, when material, which estimate the future discounted cash flows of any future payments that may be made under such agreements. The fair value of the interest rate swap liability as of December 31, 2014 was $3.4 million and was recorded in “Other long-term liabilities” in the consolidated balance sheets. See Note 9 for discussion of the fair value measurements concerning this interest rate swap. 9. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”, defines and establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. In accordance with ASC 820, the Company has categorized its financial assets and liabilities, based on the priority of the inputs to the valuation technique, into a three-level fair value hierarchy as set forth below. Level 1 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in an active market that the company has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on quoted prices for similar attributes in active markets; quoted prices in markets where trading occurs infrequently; and inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 – Assets and liabilities whose values are based on prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both unobservable and significant to the overall fair value measurement. If the inputs used to measure the financial instruments fall within different levels of the hierarchy, the categorization is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement of the instrument. F-24 The following table presents the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the consolidated balance sheets (in millions): December 31, 2014 Total Fair Value and Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Fair Value Measurement Category Level 2 Level 1 Level 3 Liabilities: Interest rate swap Contingent Consideration $ $ 3.4 $ 1.3 $ — $ — $ 3.4 $ — $ — 1.3 December 31, 2013 Total Fair Value and Carrying Value on Balance Sheet Fair Value Measurement Category Level 2 Level 1 Level 3 Assets: Interest rate swap 10. INCOME TAXES $ 0.4 $ — $ 0.4 $ — The provision (benefit) for income taxes from continuing operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 (in millions): Current Federal State Foreign Deferred Federal State Total provision for taxes 2014 2013 2012 $ $ — $ 0.6 0.1 0.7 15.0 2.7 17.7 18.4 $ — $ 0.6 0.2 0.8 (121.6 ) (13.3 ) (134.9 ) (134.1 ) $ — 0.6 0.3 0.9 4.8 0.4 5.2 6.1 The income tax provision (benefit) differs from the amount of income tax determined by applying the Company’s federal corporate income tax rate of 34% to pre-tax income for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 due to the following (in millions): Computed “expected” tax provision (benefit) Change in income tax resulting from: State taxes, net of federal benefit Foreign taxes Change in valuation allowance Other 2014 2013 2012 $ 15.5 $ (0.1 ) $ 2.1 0.1 — 0.7 18.4 $ (8.4 ) 0.2 (126.0 ) 0.2 (134.1 ) $ $ 6.7 1.2 0.3 (2.2) 0.1 6.1 F-25 The components of the deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31, 2014 and 2013 consist of the following (in millions): Deferred tax assets: Accrued expenses Accounts receivable Net operating loss carryforward Stock-based compensation Intangible assets Credits Other Valuation allowance Net deferred tax assets Deferred tax liabilities: Non-long lived intangible assets Long-lived Intangible assets Property and equipment Deferred state taxes 2014 2013 $ $ $ $ 4.4 $ 1.2 124.0 3.6 8.0 1.0 1.1 143.3 (1.4) 141.9 $ (4.8) $ (62.2) (0.7) (1.7) (69.4) 72.5 $ 3.5 2.4 125.5 5.2 16.9 1.0 0.9 155.4 (1.4 ) 154.0 (4.9 ) (55.4 ) (1.2 ) (2.5 ) (64.0 ) 90.0 As of December 31, 2014, the Company has federal and state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $331 million and $246 million, respectively, available to offset future taxable income. The federal net operating loss carryforwards will expire during the years 2020 through 2033. The state net operating loss carryforwards will expire during the years 2014 through 2033. Of the $246 million of state net operating loss carryforwards, $2.2 million will expire in 2015. Not included in the deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses as of December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are approximately $1.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively, of gross deferred tax assets attributable to stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock units because the benefit of such losses have not reduced income tax payable. Utilization of the Company’s U.S. federal and certain state net operating loss and tax credit carryovers may be subject to substantial annual limitation due to the ownership change limitations provided by the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions. Such an annual limitation could result in the expiration of the net operating loss carryforwards before utilization. As of December 31, 2014, the Company believes that utilization of its federal net operating losses and foreign tax credits are not limited under any ownership change limitations provided under the Internal Revenue Code. Prior to December 31, 2013, the Company maintained a valuation allowance for the entire deferred tax assets as a result of uncertainties regarding their realization due to historical losses, the variability of operating results, and limited visibility into future projected results. This valuation allowance was maintained since the likelihood of the realization of those assets had not become more likely than not based on the Company’s assessment of available evidence. The Company periodically evaluates the realizability of the deferred tax assets and, if it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, adjusts the valuation allowance accordingly. Valuation allowances are established and maintained for deferred tax assets on a “more likely than not” threshold. The process of evaluating the need to maintain a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is highly subjective and requires significant judgment. The Company has considered the following possible sources of taxable income when assessing the realization of the deferred tax assets: (1) future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences; (2) taxable income in prior carryback years; (3) future taxable income exclusive of reversing temporary differences and carryforwards; and (4) tax planning strategies. Based on the Company’s analysis and a review of all positive and negative evidence such as historical operations, future projections of taxable income and tax planning strategies that are prudent and feasible, the Company determined that it was more likely than not that the deferred tax assets would be realized except for certain expiring state net operating loss carryforwards. Accordingly, the Company reversed a valuation allowance of approximately $144 million and recorded the reduction as a tax benefit for the period. For each of the years ended December 31, 2014, and 2013, the Company had a valuation allowance of $1.4 million. F-26 The Company addresses uncertainty in tax positions according to the provisions of ASC 740, “Income Taxes”, which clarifies the accounting for income taxes by establishing the minimum recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return in order to be recognized in the financial statements. The following table summarizes the activity related to the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits (in millions): Balance at December 31, 2012 Change in balances related to tax positions Balance at December 31, 2013 Change in balances related to tax positions Balance at December 31, 2014 $ $ $ Amount 6.4 — 6.4 — 6.4 As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $6.4 million of gross unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions, of which $0.9 million would affect the effective tax rate if recognized. The Company does not anticipate that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of December 31, 2014 will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters as a component of income tax expense. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no significant accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions due to the net operating losses. The Company is subject to taxation in the United States, various states and Mexico. The tax years 2011 to 2014 and 2010 to 2014 remain open to examination by federal and state taxing jurisdictions, respectively, and the tax years 2003 to 2013 remain open to examination by foreign jurisdiction. Net operating losses from years from which the statute of limitations have expired (2010 and prior for federal and 2009 and prior for state) could be adjusted in the event that the taxing jurisdictions challenge the amounts of net operating loss carryforwards from such years. 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company has non-cancelable agreements with certain media research and ratings providers, expiring at various dates through December 2016, to provide television and radio audience measurement services. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company is obligated to pay these providers a total of approximately $18.1 million. The annual commitments range from $5.8 million to $12.3 million. The Company leases facilities and broadcast equipment under various non-cancelable operating lease agreements with various terms and conditions, expiring at various dates through September 2059. The Company’s corporate headquarters are located in Santa Monica, California. The Company leases approximately 16,000 square feet of space in the building housing its corporate headquarters under a lease expiring in 2021. The Company also leases approximately 45,000 square feet of space in the building housing its radio network in Los Angeles, California, under a lease expiring in 2026. The types of properties required to support each of the Company’s television and radio stations typically include offices, broadcasting studios and antenna towers where broadcasting transmitters and antenna equipment are located. The majority of the Company’s office, studio and tower facilities are leased pursuant to non-cancelable long-term leases. The Company also owns the buildings and/or land used for office, studio and tower facilities at certain of its television and/or radio properties. The Company owns substantially all of the equipment used in its television and radio broadcasting business. F-27 The approximate future minimum lease payments under these non-cancelable operating leases at December 31, 2014 are as follows (in millions): 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 Thereafter $ $ Amount 8.8 7.5 6.6 5.7 5.3 35.0 68.9 Total rent expense under operating leases, including rent under month-to-month arrangements, was approximately $9.9 million, $9.8 million and $10.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Employment Agreements The Company has entered into an employment agreement (the “Employment Agreement”) through December 2016 with an executive officer who is also a stockholder and director. The Employment Agreement provides that a minimum annual base salary and a bonus be paid. The company paid a total of $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.5 million of bonuses to this executive for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Additionally, the Employment Agreement provides for a continuation of the executive’s annual base salary and annual bonus through the end of the employment period if the executive is terminated due to a permanent disability or without cause, as defined in the Employment Agreement. 12. STOCKHOLDERS’ EQUITY The Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company authorizes both common and preferred stock. Common Stock The Company’s common stock has three classes, identified as Class A common stock, Class B common stock and Class U common stock. The Class A common stock and Class B common stock have similar rights and privileges, except that the Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share as compared to one vote per share for the Class A common stock. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at the holder’s option into one fully paid and nonassessable share of Class A common stock and is required to be converted into one share of Class A common stock upon the occurrence of certain events as defined in the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. The Class U common stock, which is held by Univision, has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors. Each share of Class U common stock is automatically convertible into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or combinations) in connection with any transfer to a third party that is not an affiliate of Univision. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company paid cash dividends totaling $0.10 per share, or $8.9 million, on all shares of Class A, Class B, and Class U common stock. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.125 per share, or $11.0 million, on all shares of Class A, Class B, and Class U common stock. Treasury Stock On August 18, 2014, the Board of Directors approved a share repurchase program of up to $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock. On November 25, 2014, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the share repurchase program with a repurchase authorization of up to an additional $10.0 million of the Company’s outstanding common stock, for a total repurchase authorization of up to $20.0 million. Under the share repurchase program the Company is authorized to purchase shares from time to time through open market purchases or negotiated purchases, subject to market conditions and other factors. The share repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time without prior notice. Treasury stock is included as a deduction from equity in the Stockholders’ Equity section of the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Shares repurchased pursuant to the Company’s share repurchase program are retired during the same calendar year. As of December 31, 2014, the Company repurchased approximately 2.5 million shares of Class A common stock at an average price of $5.08, for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $12.5 million. All shares were retired as of December 31, 2014. F-28 13. EQUITY INCENTIVE PLANS In May 2004, the Company adopted its 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (“2004 Plan”), which replaced its 2000 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (“2000 Plan”). The 2000 Plan had allowed for the award of up to 11,500,000 shares of Class A common stock. The 2004 Plan allows for the award of up to 10,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, plus any grants remaining available at its adoption date under the 2000 Plan. Awards under the 2004 Plan may be in the form of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock or restricted stock units. The 2004 Plan is administered by a committee appointed by the Board. This committee determines the type, number, vesting requirements and other features and conditions of such awards. Generally, stock options granted from the 2000 Plan have a contractual term of ten years from the date of the grant and vest over four or five years and stock options granted from the 2004 Plan have a contractual term of ten years from the date of the grant and vest over four years. The 2004 Plan was amended by the Compensation Committee effective July 13, 2006 to (i) eliminate automatic option grants for non-employee directors, making any grants to such directors discretionary by the Compensation Committee and (ii) eliminate the three-year minimum vesting period for performance-based restricted stock and restricted stock units, making the vesting period for such grants discretionary by the Compensation Committee. The Company has issued stock options and restricted stock units to various employees and non-employee directors of the Company in addition to non-employee service providers under both the 2004 Plan and the 2000 Plan. Stock Options The fair value of each stock option is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model that uses the assumptions noted in the following table. Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options is based on the fair value on the date of grant and is amortized over the vesting period, generally between 1 to 3 years. Expected volatilities are based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise and employee termination within the valuation model. The expected term of stock options granted is based on historical contractual life and the vesting data of the stock options. The risk-free rate for periods within the contractual life of the stock option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated using the following weighted-average assumptions: Year Ended December 31, 2014 Year Ended December 31, 2013 Year Ended December 31, 2012 1.26 89% 1.5% 7.0 years — Fair value of options granted Expected volatility Risk-free interest rate Expected lives Dividend rate $ 3.26 $ 117% 2.0% 6.1 years 2.3% 1.69 $ 91 % 1.3 % 7.0 years — F-29 The following is a summary of stock option activity: (in thousands, except exercise price data and contractual life data): Options Outstanding at December 31, 2011 Granted Exercised Forfeited or cancelled Outstanding at December 31, 2012 Granted Exercised Forfeited or cancelled Outstanding at December 31, 2013 Granted Exercised Forfeited or cancelled Outstanding at December 31, 2014 Vested and Exercisable at December 31, 2014 Vested and Expected to Vest at December 31, 2014 Number of Shares Weighted- Average Exercise Price Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Life (Years) Aggregate Intrinsic Value 7,205 $ 2,592 $ (50) (1,540) 8,207 $ 2,815 $ (1,683) (1,622) 7,717 $ 350 $ (1,042) (1,470) 5,555 $ 2,594 $ 3,546 $ 6.68 1.64 0.46 9.72 4.55 2.18 1.67 5.70 4.05 4.4 1.77 8.53 3.33 4.69 2.24 $ 45 $ 4,965 $ 22,023 $ 5,036 6.12 $ 3.91 $ 8.01 $ 19,015 6,157 15,046 Stock-based compensation expense related to the Company’s employee stock option plans was $2.3 million, $4.4 million and $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2014, there was approximately $2.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units that is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.9 years. The fair value of shares vested related to grants of restricted stock and restricted stock units was $1.6 million, $0.8 million, and $1.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS Univision provides network compensation to the Company and acts as the Company’s exclusive third-party sales representative for the sale of all national advertising aired on Univision-affiliate television stations. At December 31, 2014 Univision owns approximately 10% of the Company’s common stock on a fully-converted basis. The Class U common stock has limited voting rights and does not include the right to elect directors. As the holder of all of the Company’s issued and outstanding Class U common stock, so long as Univision holds a certain number of shares, the Company may not, without the consent of Univision, merge, consolidate or enter into another business combination, dissolve or liquidate the Company or dispose of any interest in any Federal Communications Commission, or FCC, license for any of the Company’s Univision-affiliated television stations, among other things. Each share of Class U common stock is automatically convertible into one share of the Company’s Class A common stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, dividends or combinations) in connection with any transfer to a third party that is not an affiliate of Univision. In August 2008, the Company entered into a proxy agreement with Univision pursuant to which the Company granted to Univision the right to negotiate the terms of retransmission consent agreements for its Univision- and UniMás-affiliated television station signals for a term of six years, expiring in December 2014, which Univision and the Company have extended through March 31, 2015. Among other things, the proxy agreement provides terms relating to compensation to be paid to the Company by Univision with respect to retransmission consent agreements entered into with MVPDs. The term of the proxy agreement extends with respect to any MVPD for the length of the term of any retransmission consent agreement in effect before the expiration of the proxy agreement. It is our current intention to negotiate with Univision an extension of the current proxy agreement or a new proxy agreement; however, no assurance can be given regarding the terms of any such extension or new agreement or that any such extension or new agreement will be entered into.

In May 2007, the Company entered into an affiliation agreement with LATV Networks, LLC (“LATV”). Pursuant to the affiliation agreement, the Company will broadcast programming provided to the Company by LATV on one of the digital multicast channels of certain of the Company’s television stations. Under the affiliation agreement, there are no fees paid for the carriage of programming, and the Company generally retains the right to sell approximately five minutes per hour of available advertising time. Walter F. Ulloa, the Company’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, is a director, officer and principal stockholder of LATV. F-31 15.
