(1) Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.4 million and $0.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $0.7 million and $0.7 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses, depreciation and amortization and gain (loss) on sale of assets.

(2) Corporate expenses include $0.5 million and $0.4 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $0.9 million and $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(3) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means operating income (loss) plus (gain) loss on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and corporate expenses and syndication programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our syndicated bank credit facility and does not include (gain) loss on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, loss from discontinued operations and syndication programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments. The definition of operating income (loss), and thus consolidated adjusted EBITDA, excludes (gain) loss on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, loss from discontinued operations and syndication programming amortization. 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 of sales of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non- cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, loss from discontinued operations 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.

(4) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash paid for income taxes, net interest expense and capital expenditures. Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, less interest income less the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Free cash flow per share is defined as free cash flow divided by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.

Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the second quarter we continued to drive audience growth and strengthen the position of our TV and radio stations in an advertising market that remains weak due to general economic conditions. We are taking additional steps to control our costs while continuing to make prudent investments in our content, marketing and sales capabilities. In addition, our balance sheet remains strong and we have ample financial flexibility. The nation's Hispanic population continues to grow and we remain optimally positioned to capitalize on this opportunity over the long-term."

The Company also announced that it repurchased 2.3 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2008. The Company announced that it repurchased an additional 1.0 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $3.4 million so far in the third quarter of 2008.

(1) Operating expenses and corporate expenses are defined on page 1.

Net revenue decreased to $62.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $66.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $3.6 million. Of the overall decrease, $2.3 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in second quarter revenue of $1.2 million associated with moving our annual Los Angeles promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008, as well as a decrease in local advertising sales and local advertising rates, which in turn was primarily due to the weak economy. Additionally, $1.3 million of the decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising sales and national advertising rates, which in turn was primarily due to the weak economy.

Operating expenses increased to $36.9 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $36.8 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in wages, utility and rent expense, partially offset by a decrease in second quarter expenses associated with moving our annual Los Angeles promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008 and a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue.

Corporate expenses increased to $4.5 million for three-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $4.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was attributable to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.1 million.

Net revenue decreased to $118.6 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $123.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $4.8 million. Of the overall decrease, $2.8 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue of $1.2 million associated with moving our annual Los Angeles promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008, as well as a decrease in local advertising sales and local advertising rates, which in turn was primarily due to the weak economy. Additionally, $2.0 million of the decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising rates, which in turn was primarily due to the weak economy.

Operating expenses increased to $72.3 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $71.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in wages, utility and rent expense, partially offset by a decrease in second quarter expenses associated with moving our annual Los Angeles promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008 and a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue.

Corporate expenses decreased to $8.9 million for six-month period ended June 30, 2008 from $9.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.1 million.
