Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | NOTE 1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Salem Media Group, Inc. (“Salem” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “company”) include the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Salem is a domestic multi-media company with integrated operations including radio broadcasting, digital media, and publishing. Effective as of February 19, 2015, we changed our name from Salem Communications Corporation to Salem Media Group, Inc. Salem was formed in 1986 as a California corporation and was reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. Our content is intended for audiences interested in Christian and family-themed programming and conservative news talk. We maintain a website at www.salemmedia.com Our foundational business is the ownership and operation of radio stations in large metropolitan markets. We also own and operate Salem Radio Network® (“SRN”), SRN News Network (“SNN”), Salem Music Network (“SMN”), Today’s Christian Music (“TCM”), Singing News Network (formerly Solid Gospel Network) and Salem Media Representatives TM Web-based and digital content has been a significant growth area for Salem and continues to be a focus of future development. Salem Web Network (“SWN”) and our other web-based businesses provide Christian and conservative-themed content, audio and video streaming, and other resources digitally through the web. SWN’s web portals include Christian content websites: OnePlace.com, Christianity.com, Crosswalk.com®, GodVine.com, Jesus.org and BibleStudyTools.com. Our conservative opinion websites, collectively known as Townhall Media, include Townhall.com, HotAir.com, Twitchy.com, HumanEvents.com and RedState.com. We also issue digital newsletters, including Eagle Financial Publications, that provide market analysis and investment strategies for individual subscribers from financial commentators. Church product websites including WorshipHouseMedia.com, SermonSpice.com, and ChurchStaffing.com offer downloads and service platforms to pastors and other educators. Our web content is accessible through all of our radio station websites that feature content of interest to local listeners throughout the United States. Digital media also includes our e-commerce sites, Salem Consumer Products (“SCP”), Eagle Wellness and Gene Smart Wellness. SCP is our e-commerce business that sells books, DVD’s and editorial content developed by our on-air personalities. Eagle Wellness and Gene Smart Wellness are e-commerce sites that offer health advice and nutritional products. Our acquisition of Regnery Publishing expanded our publishing operations to include book publishing in addition to print magazines and our self-publishing service. Regnery Publishing has published dozens of bestselling books by leading conservative authors and personalities, including Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, David Limbaugh, Ed Klein, Mark Steyn and Dinesh D'Souza. Our publishing operating segment also includes Salem Publishing and Xulon Press. We consider all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with an initial maturity of three-months or less, to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair value at each balance sheet date. Trade accounts receivable represent receivables from customers for the sale of advertising, block program time, sponsorships and events, product sales, royalties, video and graphic downloads, subscriptions, and book sales. Our receivables are recorded as invoiced and represent claims that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of our receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and estimated sales returns, represents their estimated net realizable value. Trade accounts receivable for our self-publishing services represent contractual amounts due under individual payment plans. These contractual receivables are included in deferred revenue until the applicable earnings process is complete. We evaluate the balance reserved in our allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on our historical collection experience, the age of the receivables, specific customer information and current economic conditions. Past due balances are generally not written-off until all of our collection efforts have been unsuccessful, including use of a collections agency. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not historically recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates. Inventories consist of finished goods, including published books and wellness products. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market as determined on a First-In First-Out (“FIFO”) cost method We reviewed historical data associated with book and wellness product inventories held by Regnery Publishing and our e-commerce wellness entities, as well as our own experiences to estimate the fair value of inventory on hand. Our analysis includes a review of actual sales returns, our allowances, royalty reserves, overall economic conditions and product demand. We record a provision to expense the balance of unsold inventory that we believe to be unrecoverable. We regularly monitor actual performance to our estimates and make adjustments as necessary. Estimated inventory reserves may be adjusted, either favorably or unfavorably, if factors such as the historical data we used to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future returns or as a result of changes in economic conditions of the customer and/or the market. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not historically recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and that our reserves are accurately reflected. Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the historical cost of acquiring the asset, including the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. For assets constructed for our own use, such as towers and buildings that are discrete projects for which costs are separately accumulated and for which construction takes considerable time, we record capitalized interest. The amount capitalized is the cost that could have been avoided had the asset not been constructed and is based on the average accumulated expenditures incurred over the capitalization period at the weighted average rate applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt. We capitalized interest of $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements are capitalized when they extend the life of the asset or enhance the quality or ability of the asset to benefit operations Category Estimated Life Buildings 40 years Office furnishings and equipment 5 -10 years Antennae, towers and transmitting equipment 10 - 20 years Studio, production and mobile equipment 5 - 10 years Computer software and website development costs 3 years Record and tape libraries 3 years Automobiles 5 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of 15 years or life of lease The carrying value of property and equipment is evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and anticipated future cash flows of the underlying radio stations and business units for indicators of impairment. When indicators of impairment are present, and the cash flows estimated to be generated from these assets is less than the carrying value, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the fair market value of the assets is recorded. See Note 6 Property and Equipment. We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage related to the development of internal-use software as specified in FASB ASC Topic 350-40 “ Internal-Use Software Accounting for Amortizable Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Typically, intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of broadcast entities, digital media entities and publishing entities. Category Estimated Life Customer lists and contracts Lesser of 5 years or life of contract Domain and brand names 5 -7 years Favorable and assigned leases Lease Term Subscriber base and lists 3 - 7 years Author relationships 1 - 7 years Non-compete agreements 2 to 5 years The carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets are evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and anticipated future cash flows of the underlying radio stations and businesses for indicators of impairment. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 “ Property, Plant and Equipment Approximately 70% of our total assets as of December 31, 2015 consist of indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as broadcast licenses, goodwill and mastheads, the value of which depends significantly upon the operating results of our businesses. In the case of our radio stations, we would not be able to operate the properties without the related FCC license for each property. Broadcast licenses are renewed with the FCC every eight years for a nominal cost that is expensed as incurred. We continually monitor our stations’ compliance with the various regulatory requirements. Historically, all of our broadcast licenses have been renewed at the end of their respective periods, and we expect that all broadcast licenses will continue to be renewed in the future. Accordingly, we consider our broadcast licenses to be indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “ Intangibles Goodwill and Other” We account for business acquisitions in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as specified in FASB ASC Topic 805 “ Business Combinations A majority of our radio station acquisitions have consisted primarily of the FCC licenses to broadcast in a particular market. We often do not acquire the existing format, or we change the format upon acquisition when we find it beneficial. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price for the assets of a radio station is allocated to the broadcast license. Property and equipment are recorded at their estimated fair value and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Costs associated with acquisitions, such as consulting and legal fees, are expensed as incurred in unallocated corporate operating expenses. Our acquisitions often include contingent earn-out consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the expected contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration include our own assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks and discount rates based on our internal rate of return analysis. The fair value measurement includes inputs that are Level 3 measurement as discussed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. We review the probabilities of possible future payments to the estimated fair value of any contingent earn-out consideration on a quarterly basis over the earn-out period. Actual results are compared to the estimates and probabilities of achievement used in our forecasts. Should actual results increase or decrease as compared to the assumption used in our analysis, the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration obligations will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration could cause a material impact and volatility in our operating results. See Note 4 Contingent Earn-Out Consideration. We regularly review underperforming assets to determine if a sale or disposal might be a better way to monetize the assets. When a station, group of stations, or other asset group is considered for sale or disposal, we review the transaction to determine if or when the entity qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria of FASB ASC Topic 205-20 “ Discontinued Operations In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is (1) a component of an entity or group of components that have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale and represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results, or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. Revenue is recognized as it is earned in accordance with applicable guidelines. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are performed, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We account for broadcast revenue from the sale of airtime for programs or spots as the program or advertisement is broadcast. Revenues are reported net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. Digital revenue is recognized upon delivery of page-views, delivery of impressions as specified in the contract, delivery of the digital newsletter or email, or upon delivery of the advertisement or programming content via streaming. Revenues are reported net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. Revenue from product sales and book sales are recognized upon shipment net of distribution fees and an allowance for sales returns. Revenues from advertisements in our print magazines are recognized upon delivery of the publication net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. Subscription revenue from our print magazines and digital newsletters is recognized over the life of the related subscription. We enter bundled advertising agreements that may include cross-promotions such as advertisements on our radio stations, digital banners, print magazine placements, booth space at local events, or some combination thereof. The multiple deliverables contained in each agreement are accounted for separately over their respective delivery period provided that they are separate units of accounting. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor specific objective evidence, if available, or the estimated fair value of each deliverable. Objective evidence of the fair value includes the price charged for each element when sold separately or the price that we would transact if the deliverable is sold regularly on a standalone basis. Arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of each agreement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price. We provide for estimated returns for products sold with the right of return, primarily book sales associated with Regnery Publishing and nutritional products sold through Eagle Wellness and Gene Smart. We record an estimate of these product returns as a reduction of revenue in the period of the sale. Our estimates are based upon historical sales returns, the amount of current period sales, economic trends and any changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products. We regularly monitor actual performance to estimated return rates and make adjustments as necessary. Estimated return rates utilized for establishing estimated returns reserves have approximated actual returns experience. However, actual returns may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from these estimates if factors such as the historical data we used to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future returns or as a result of changes in economic conditions of the customer and/or the market. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates We may provide broadcast time or digital advertising placement to customers in exchange for certain products, supplies or services. The terms of these exchanges generally permit for the preemption of such broadcast time or digital placements in favor of customers who purchase these items for cash. We include the value of such exchanges in net revenues and operating expenses. The value recorded for barter revenue and barter expense is based upon management’s estimate of the fair value of the products, supplies or services received. . We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and that our barter revenue and barter expense are accurately reflected. We record barter revenue as it is earned, typically when the broadcast time is used or the digital advertisement is delivered. We record barter expense equal to the estimated fair value of the goods or services received upon receipt or usage of the items as applicable. Barter revenue included in broadcast revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was approximately $5.6 million, $6.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Barter expenses included in broadcast operating expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 were approximately $4.8 million, $6.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “ CompensationStock Compensation Costs of media advertising and associated production costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $11.3 million, $11.5 million and $10.0 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. We lease various facilities including broadcast tower and transmitter sites. When we enter a lease agreement, we review the terms to determine the appropriate classification of the lease as a capital lease or operating lease based on the factors listed in FASB ASC Topic 840 “ Leases We may construct or otherwise invest in leasehold improvements to properties. The costs of these leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining lease term. We provide health insurance benefits to eligible employees under a self-insured plan whereby the company pays actual medical claims subject to certain stop loss limits. We record self-insurance liabilities based on actual claims filed and an estimate of those claims incurred but not reported. Any projection of losses concerning our liability is subject to a high degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors such as future inflation rates, changes in severity, benefit level changes, medical costs and claim settlement patterns. Should the actual amount of claims increase or decrease beyond what was anticipated, we may adjust our future reserves. Our self-insurance liability was $0.7 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. We actively monitor these fluctuations and use derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. In accordance with our risk management strategy, we may use derivative instruments only for the purpose of managing risk associated with an asset, liability, committed transaction, or probable forecasted transaction that is identified by management. Our use of derivative instruments may result in short-term gains or losses that may increase the volatility of our earnings. Under FASB ASC Topic 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging” On March 27, 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that began on March 28, 2014 with a notional principal amount of $150.0 million. The agreement was entered to offset risks associated with the variable interest rate on our Term Loan B. Payments on the swap are due on a quarterly basis with a LIBOR floor of 0.625%. The swap expires on March 28, 2019 at a fixed rate of 1.645%. The interest rate swap agreement was not designated as a cash flow hedge, and as a result, all changes in the fair value are recognized in the current period statement of operations rather than through other comprehensive income. We recorded a long-term liability of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2015, representing the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement. As of December 31, 2014 As of December 31, 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Fair value of interest rate swap asset (liability) $ 475 $ (798 ) As of December 31, 2015, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the company. See Note 9 Fair Value Accounting. Our classification of outstanding borrowings on our Term Loan B as long-term debt on our balance sheet is based on our assessment that, under the terms of our Credit Agreement and after considering our projected operating results and cash flows for the coming year, no principal payments are required to be made. The Term Loan B has a term of seven years, maturing in March 2020. We are required to make principal payments of $750,000 per quarter, which began on September 30, 2013. Prepayments may be made against the outstanding balance of our Term Loan B. Each repayment of the Term Loan B is applied ratably to each of the next four principal installments thereof in the direct order of maturity and thereafter to the remaining principal balance in reverse order of maturity. Our projections of operating results and cash flows for the coming year are estimates dependent upon a number of factors including but not limited to developments in the markets in which we are operating in and varying economic and political factors. Accordingly, these projections are inherently uncertain and our actual results could differ from these estimates. Deferred financing costs consists of underwriting and legal fees incurred in conjunction with entering our Term Loan B and Revolver. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the seven-year term of the Term Loan B and the five-year term of the Revolver. During the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately $27,000 of the deferred financing costs were written off in conjunction with the early retirement of the Term Loan B compared to $0.3 million during the prior year. Deferred financing costs were $2.5 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “ Income Taxes For financial reporting purposes, we recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2015 to offset a portion of the deferred tax assets related to the state net operating loss carryforwards. We regularly review our financial forecasts in an effort to determine our ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes. Accordingly, the valuation allowance is adjusted periodically based on our estimate of the benefit the company will receive from such carryforwards. Royalties due to book authors are paid in advance and capitalized. Royalties are expensed as the related book revenues are earned or when we determine that future recovery of the royalty is not likely. We reviewed historical data associated with royalty advances, earnings and recoverability based on actual results of Regnery Publishing. Historically, the longer the unearned portion of an advance remains outstanding, the less likely it is that we will recover the advance through the sale of the book. We apply this historical experience to outstanding royalty advances to estimate the likelihood of recovery. A provision was established to expense the balance of any unearned advance which we believe is not recoverable. Our analysis also considers other discrete factors, such as death of an author, any decision to not pursue publication of a title, poor market demand or other relevant factors. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not historically recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and that our reserves are accurately reflected. In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits, arbitration and other claims which are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. Consequently, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters. We record contingency reserves to the extent we conclude that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. The establishment of the reserve is based on a review of all relevant factors, the advice of legal counsel, and the subjective judgment of management. The reserves we have recorded to date have not been material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We believe that While we believe that the final resolution of any known maters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, it is p ossible that we could incur additional losses. We record gains or losses on the sale or disposal of assets equal to the proceeds, if any, as compared to the net book value. Exchange transactions are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 845 “ Non-Monetary Transactions Basic net earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of stock options. Options to purchase 2,162,067, 1,816,204 and 1,581,123 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude outstanding stock options whose exercise price is in excess of the average price of the company’s stock price. These options are excluded from the respective computations of diluted net income or loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of anti-dilutive shares as of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was nil, 589,437 and 705,163, respectively. Year Ended December 31, 2013 2014 2015 Weighted average shares 24,938,075 25,336,809 25,426,732 Effect of dilutive securities - stock options 744,366 461,087 Weighted average shares adjusted for dilutive securities 24,938,075 26,081,175 25,887,819 Our operating segments reflect how our We account for entities qualifying as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, “ Consolidation” We may enter into LMAs contemporaneously with entering an APA to acquire or sell a radio station. We may also enter into TBAs. Typically, both LMAs and TBAs are contractual agreements under which the station owner/licensee makes airtime available to a programmer/licensee in exchange for a fee and reimbursement of certain expenses. LMAs and TBAs are subject to compliance with the antitrust laws and the communications laws, including the requirement that the licensee must maintain independent control over the station and, in particular, its personnel, programming, and finances. The FCC has held that such agreements do not violate the communications laws as long as the licensee of the station receiving programming from another station maintains ultimate responsibility for, and control over, station operations and otherwise ensures compliance with the communications laws. The requirements of FASB ASC Topic 810 may apply to entities under LMAs or TBAs, depending on the facts and circumstances related to each transaction. As of December 31, 2015, we did not consolidate any entities with which we entered into LMAs or TBAs under the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 810. We derive a substantial part of our total revenues from the sale of advertising. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, 40.8%, 40.2% and 39.4% of our total revenues, respectively, were generated from the sale of broadcast advertising. We are particularly dependent on revenue from stations in the Los Angeles and Dallas markets, which generated 15.2% and 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2013, 14.3% and 24.0% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 14.7% and 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Because substantial portions of our revenues are derived from local advertisers in these key markets, our ability to generate revenues in those markets could be adversely affected by local or regional economic downturns. Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents; trade accounts receivable and derivative instruments. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. To manage the related credit exposure, we continually monitor the credit worthiness of the financial institutions where we have deposits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets in which we provide services, as well as the dispersion of our operations across many geographic areas. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, but generally do not require collateral to support customer receivables. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on various factors including the credit risk of specific customers, age of receivables outstanding, historical trends, economic conditions and other information. Historically, our bad debt expense has been within management’s expectations. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Significant areas for which management uses estimates include: ⋅ asset impairments, including goodwill, broadcasting licenses and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; ⋅ probabilities associated with the potential for contingent earn-out consideration; ⋅ fair value measurements; ⋅ contingency reserves; ⋅ allowance for doubtful accounts; ⋅ sales returns and allowances; ⋅ barter transactions; ⋅ inventory reserves; ⋅ reserves for royalty advances; ⋅ fair value of equity awards; ⋅ self-insurance reserves; ⋅ estimated lives for tangible and intangible assets; ⋅ income tax valuation allowances; and ⋅ uncertain tax positions. These estimates require the use of judgment as future events and the effect of these events cannot be predicted with certainty. The estimates will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired and as more information is obtained. We evaluate and update our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and we may consult outside experts to assist as considered necessary. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s.

IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS | NOTE 2. IMPAIRMENT OF GOODWILL AND OTHER INDEFINITE-LIVED INTANGIBLE ASSETS Goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets We account for goodwill and other indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350 “ IntangiblesGoodwill and Other We believe that our estimate of the value of our broadcast licenses, mastheads, and goodwill is a critical accounting estimate as the value is significant in relation to our total assets, and our estimates incorporate variables and assumptions that are based on experiences and judgment about future operating performance of our markets and business segments. The fair value measurements for our indefinite-lived intangible assets use significant unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the estimates that market participants would use in measuring fair value including assumptions about risk. If actual future results are less favorable than the assumptions and estimates we used, we are subject to future impairment charges, the amount of which may be material. The fair value measurements for our indefinite-lived intangible assets use significant unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions about the estimates that market participants would use in measuring fair value including assumptions about risk. The unobservable inputs are defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” In accordance with the FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, “ Intangibles Goodwill and Other ASU 2012-02 provides examples of events and circumstances that could affect the estimated fair value of indefinite-lived intangible assets; however, the examples are not all-inclusive and are not by themselves indicators of impairment. We consider these events and circumstances, as well as other external and internal considerations. Our analysis includes the following events and circumstances, which are presented in the order of what we believe to be the strongest to weakest indicators of impairment: (1) the difference between any recent fair value calculations and the carrying value; (2) financial performance, such as station operating income, including performance as compared to projected results used in prior estimates of fair value; (3) macroeconomic economic conditions, including limitations on accessing capital that could affect the discount rates used in prior estimates of fair value; (4) industry and market considerations such as a declines in market-dependent multiples or metrics, a change in demand, competition, or other economic factors; (5) operating cost factors, such as increases in labor, that could have a negative effect on future expected earnings and cash flows; (6) legal, regulatory, contractual, political, business, or other factors; (7) other relevant entity-specific events such as changes in management or customers; and (8) any changes to the carrying amount of the indefinite-lived intangible asset. Broadcast licenses In the case of our broadcast radio stations, we would not be able to operate the properties without the related FCC broadcast license for each property. Broadcast licenses are renewed with the FCC every eight years for a nominal fee that is expensed as incurred. We continually monitor our stations’ compliance with the various regulatory requirements that are necessary for FCC renewal and all of our broadcast licenses have been renewed at the end of their respective periods. We expect all of our broadcast licenses to be renewed in the future and therefore, we consider our broadcast licenses to be indefinite-lived intangible assets. The unit of accounting we use to test broadcast licenses is the cluster level, which we define as a group of radio stations operating in the same geographic market, sharing the same building and equipment and managed by a single general manager. The cluster level is the lowest level for which discrete financial information and cash flows are available and the level reviewed by management to analyze operating results. We perform a qualitative assessment for each of our broadcast market clusters. We review the significant assumptions and key estimates applicable to our prior year estimated fair value calculations to assess if events and circumstances have occurred that could affect these assumptions and key estimates. We also review internal benchmarks and the economic performance for each market cluster to assess if it is more likely than not that impairment exists. The first step of our qualitative assessment is to calculate excess fair value, or the amount by which our prior year estimated fair value exceeds the current year carrying value. We believe based on our analysis and review, including the financial performance of each market, that a 25% excess fair value margin is a conservative and reasonable benchmark for our qualitative analysis. Markets with an excess fair value of 25% or more, which have had no significant changes in the prior year assumptions and key estimates, are not likely to be impaired. Of the twenty-seven markets for which a fair value appraisal was performed in the prior year, eight markets were subject to further testing. Geographic Market Clusters as of December 31, 2015 Percentage Range By Which 2014 Estimated Fair Value Exceeds 2015 Carrying Value % >26%-50% >50% to 75% > than 75% Number of accounting units 8 5 3 11 Broadcast license carrying value (in thousands) $ 185,372 $ 66,914 $ 35,843 $ 51,941 The second step of our qualitative assessment consists of a review of the financial operating results for each market cluster. Radio stations are often sold on the basis of a multiple of projected cash flow, or station operating income less station operating expenses (“SOI”). Numerous trade organizations and analysts review these radio station sales to track SOI multiples applicable to each transaction. Based on published reports and analysis of market transactions, we believe industry benchmarks to be in the six to seven times cash flow range. We elected an SOI benchmark of four as a conservative indicator of fair value. Using an SOI multiple to estimate fair value, we did not identify additional markets for further testing. We performed a quantitative analysis for three of our market clusters that we had not obtained an independent third party fair value appraisal for during the last annual testing period. Geographic Market Clusters as of December 31, 2015 Tested due to length of time from prior valuation >90% >140% Number of accounting units 2 1 Broadcast license carrying value (in thousands $ 11,319 $ 4,242 We engaged an independent third-party appraisal and valuation firm to assist us in estimating the fair value of our broadcast licenses that were subject to further testing. Bond & Pecaro prepared valuations of the estimated fair value for the testing period ending December 31, 2013. Noble Financial Capital Markets prepared the valuations for the testing periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. In each of these years, the estimated fair value was determined using the Greenfield Method, a form of the income approach. The premise of the Greenfield Method is that the value of an FCC License is equivalent to a hypothetical start-up in which the only asset owned by the station as of the valuation date is the FCC License. This approach eliminates factors that are unique to the operation of the station, including its format and historical financial performance. The method then assumes the entity has to purchase, build, or rent all of the other assets needed to operate a comparable station to the one in which the FCC license is being utilized as of the valuation date. Cash flows are estimated and netted against all start-up costs, expenses and investments necessary to achieve a normalized and mature state of operations, thus reflecting only the cash flows directly attributable to the FCC License. A multi-year discounted cash flow approach is then used to determine the net present value of these cash flows to derive an indication of fair value. For cash flows beyond the projection period, a terminal value is calculated using the Gordon constant growth model and long-term industry growth rate assumptions based on long-term industry growth and Gross Domestic Product (“GDP”) inflation rates. The primary assumptions used in the Greenfield Method are (1) gross operating revenue in the station’s designated market area, (2) normalized market share, (3) normalized profit margin, (4) duration of the “ramp-up” period to reach normalized operations, (which was assumed to be three years), (5) estimated start-up costs (based on market size), (6) ongoing replacement costs of fixed assets and working capital, (7) the calculations of yearly net free cash flows to invested capital; and (8) amortization of the intangible asset, the FCC license. The assumptions used reflect those of a hypothetical market participant and not necessarily the actual or projected results of Salem. The key estimates and assumptions used in the start-up income valuation for our broadcast licenses were as follows: Broadcast Licenses December 31, 2013 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2015 Risk-adjusted discount rate 9.0% 8.0% 8.0% Operating profit margin ranges 4.1% - 37.5 (13.9%) - 30.8 (13.9%) - 30.8 Long-term market revenue growth rate ranges 1.0% - 2.5 1.5% - 2.5 2.0% The risk-adjusted discount rate reflects the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (“WACC”) developed based on data from same or similar industry participants and publicly available market data as of the measurement date. The decrease in the WACC for 2014 as compared to 2013 was largely attributable to decreases in the risk free rate and corporate borrowing interest rates. Based on our review and analysis we determined that no impairment charges were necessary to the carrying value of our broadcast licenses as of the annual testing period ending December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. We performed a sensitivity analysis of certain current year key assumptions, including the long-term revenue growth rate and the WACC, to determine the impact that such changes would have on the estimated fair value of our broadcast licenses. The sensitivity analysis indicated that a reduction in the long-term revenue growth rate and an increase in the WACC by 100 basis points would have resulted in an impairment to our broadcast licenses of $25.6 million.

We test the value of mastheads as a single combined publishing entity as our print magazines operate from one shared facility under one general manager with operating results and cash flows reported on a combined basis for all publications. This is the lowest level for which discrete financial information and cash flows are available and the level reviewed by management to analyze operating results. We regularly perform quantitative reviews of our mastheads due to the low margin by which our estimated fair values have exceeded our carrying value, and ongoing operating results that have not met or exceeded our expectations. We engaged an independent third-party appraisal firm to assist us in estimating the fair value of our mastheads using a relief from royalty method, a form of the income approach. Bond & Pecaro prepared valuations of the estimated fair value for the testing period ending December 31, 2013. Noble Financial Capital Markets prepared the valuations for the testing periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. The relief from royalty method estimates the fair value of mastheads through use of a discounted cash flow model that incorporates a hypothetical “royalty rate” that a third-party owner would be willing to pay in lieu of owning the asset. The royalty rate is based on observed royalty rates for comparable assets as of the measurement date. We adjust the selected royalty rate to account for a percentage of the royalty fee that could be attributed to the use of other intangibles, such as goodwill, time in existence, trade secrets and industry expertise. The adjusted royalty rate represents the royalty fee remaining that could be attributed to the use of the masthead only. Pre-tax royalty income is based on a 10-year revenue forecast and assumed to carry on into perpetuity. Revenue beyond the projection period (terminal year) is based on estimated long-term industry growth rates. The risk-adjusted discount rate used in the analysis is based on our WACC. The analysis also incorporated the present value of the tax amortization benefit associated with the mastheads. Mastheads Interim June 30, 2013 December 31, 2013 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2015 Risk-adjusted discount rate 9.0% 9.5% 8.0% 8.0% Projected revenue growth ranges 1.0% - 2.8% 1.2% - 2.5% (4.8%) 1.4% 2.1 2.9% Royalty growth rate 3.0% 2.0% 3.0% 3.0% Due to actual operating results that did not meet or exceed the expectations and assumptions used in our prior estimates of fair value, we performed an interim valuation of our mastheads as of June 30, 2013. Based on our reductions in projected revenue growth and an increase in the risk-adjusted discount rate, we determined that the carrying value of the mastheads were less than their estimated fair value. We recorded an impairment charge of $0.3 million associated with the mastheads. During our annual testing for 2013 performed in the fourth quarter, we recorded an additional $0.7 million impairment charge based on further reductions in the projected revenue growth and an increase in the discount rate from 9.0% to 9.5%. During our annual testing for 2014, which coincided with our budget and financial forecasts process for the following year, we decided to cease publishing Townhall Magazine as of December 2014. We reduced our projected net revenues for the following year and considered ceasing additional print magazines in the future. Although we expected to realize cost savings from the reduction in the number of print magazines produced, we did not expect the cost savings to increase operating margins. Based on the reduction of projected net revenues and the potential to further reduce the number of magazine published, we recorded an impairment charge of $34,000 associated with magazine mastheads as of December 2014. Based on our review and analysis as of the December 2015 annual testing period, we determined that no impairment charges were necessary to the carrying value of our mastheads. We performed a sensitivity analysis of certain current year key assumptions, including the long-term revenue growth rate and the WACC, to determine the impact that such changes would have on the estimated fair value of the mastheads. The sensitivity analysis indicated that reducing the long-term revenue growth rate and increasing the WACC by 100 basis points would have resulted in an impairment to our mastheads of $0.2 million. Excess Fair Value Mastheads 2015 Estimate Print Magazines 1.1 % The impairments recognized in 2013 and 2014 were driven by reductions in the projected net revenues and a reduction in the number of print magazines produced. The growth of digital-only publications, which are often free to readers or at a significantly reduced cost to readers, has hindered the ability of the publishing industry to recover from the economic recession that began in 2008. We believe that the impairments are indicative of trends in the publishing industry as a whole and are not unique to our company or operations. Goodwill Broadcast Radio Stations The unit of accounting we use to test goodwill associated with our radio stations is the cluster level, which we define as a group of radio stations operating in the same geographic market, sharing the same building and equipment and managed by a single general manager. Nineteen of our 34 market clusters have goodwill associated with them as of our annual testing period ending December 31, 2015. We perform a qualitative assessment to determine if events and circumstances have occurred that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets in each of our market clusters are less than their carrying values. We review the significant inputs used in our prior year fair value estimates to determine if any changes to those inputs should be made. We estimate fair value using a market approach and compare the estimated fair value of each market cluster to its carrying value, including goodwill. If the carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeds the estimated fair value of the market cluster, a potential indication exists that the amount of goodwill attributed to that market cluster may be impaired. When we have indication of impairment, we engage an independent third-party appraisal and valuation firm to assist us with determining the enterprise value. Bond & Pecaro prepared valuations of the estimated fair value for the testing periods ending December 31, 2013. Noble Financial Capital Markets prepared the valuations for the testing periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. In performing our annual impairment testing of goodwill, the fair value of each applicable accounting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, a form of the income approach. The discounted cash flow analysis utilizes a five-year projection period to derive operating cash flow projections from a market participant view. We made certain assumptions regarding future revenue growth based on industry market data, historical performance and expected future performance. We also made assumptions regarding working capital requirements and ongoing capital expenditures for fixed assets. Future net free cash flows were calculated on a debt free basis and discounted to present value using a risk adjusted discount rate, which reflected our WACC. The terminal year value was calculated using the Gordon constant growth method and long-term growth rate assumptions based on long-term industry growth and GDP inflation rates. The resulting fair value estimates, net of any interest bearing debt, are compared to the carrying value of each accounting units’ net assets. The key estimates and assumptions used for our enterprise valuations are as follows: December 31, 2013 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2015 Enterprise Valuations Broadcast Markets Broadcast Markets Broadcast Markets Risk-adjusted discount rate 9.0% 8.0% 8.0% Operating profit margin ranges 11.9% - 44.7 8.4% - 46.1 49.7% Long-term revenue market growth rate ranges 1.0% - 2.5 1.0% - 5.0 2.0% Based on our review and analysis, we determined that no impairment charges were necessary to the carrying value of our broadcast market goodwill as of the annual testing period ending December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. We performed a sensitivity analysis of certain current year key assumptions, including the long-term revenue growth rate and the WACC, to determine the impact that such changes would have on the estimated fair value of goodwill associated with our broadcast segment. The sensitivity analysis indicated that reducing the long-term revenue growth rate and increasing the WACC by 100 basis points would have no incremental impact to the carrying value of goodwill associated with our broadcast markets. The tables below present the percentage within a range by which the estimated fair value exceeded the carrying value of each of our market clusters, including goodwill: Broadcast Market Clusters as of December 31, 2015 Percentage Range By Which Estimated Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Including <10% >10% to 20% >20% to 50% > than 50% Number of accounting units 3 3 2 11 Carrying value including goodwill ( in thousands $ 56,179 $ 52,164 $ 37,570 169,907 Broadcast Market Clusters as of December 31, 2014 Percentage Range By Which Estimated Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Including <10% >10% to 20% >20% to 50% > than 50% Number of accounting units 5 2 7 Carrying value including goodwill ( in thousands $ 81,507 $ $ 27,636 $ 84,693 Broadcast Market Clusters as of December 31, 2013 Percentage Range By Which Estimated Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Including <1% >10% to 20% >20% to 50% > than 50% Number of accounting units 4 1 3 3 Carrying value including goodwill ( in thousands $ 28,952 $ 17,978 $ 45,375 $ 45,152 Goodwill Broadcast Networks The unit of accounting we use to test goodwill in our radio networks is the entity level, which includes Salem Radio Network® (“SRN”), SRN News Network (“SNN”), Salem Music Network (“SMN”), Todays Christian Music (“TCM”) and Singing News Network (formerly Solid Gospel Network. The entity level is the level reviewed by management for which discreet financial information is available. Two of our five networks have goodwill associated with them as of our annual testing period ending December 31, 2015. The estimated fair value of our networks exceeded the carrying value by 64% and 63% for each of the annual testing periods ending December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. For our annual testing as of the fourth quarter of 2015, we identified operating losses within our Singing News Network that indicated that the value of goodwill may be impaired. We engaged an independent third-party appraisal and valuation firm to assist us with determining the enterprise value. In performing our annual impairment testing of goodwill, the fair value of each entity was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis, a form of the income approach. The discounted cash flow analysis utilizes a seven-year projection period to derive operating cash flow projections from a market participant view. We made certain assumptions regarding future revenue growth based on industry market data, historical performance and expected future performance. We also made assumptions regarding working capital requirements and ongoing capital expenditures for fixed assets. Future net free cash flows were calculated on a debt free basis and discounted to present value using a risk adjusted discount rate, which reflected a risk adjusted WACC. The terminal year value was calculated using the Gordon constant growth method and long-term growth rate assumptions based on long-term industry growth and GDP inflation rates. The resulting fair value estimates, net of any interest bearing debt, are compared to the carrying value of each reporting units’ net assets. The key estimates and assumptions used for our enterprise valuations are as follows: December 31, 2015 Enterprise Valuations Broadcast Networks Risk-adjusted discount rate 9.0% Operating profit margin ranges (74.1%) (97.5%) Long-term revenue market growth rate ranges 2.0% Based on this review and analysis, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.4 million associated with the value of goodwill for the Singing News Network. Based on our prior review and analysis, we determined that no impairment charges were necessary to the carrying value of our network goodwill as of the annual testing period ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013. We did not perform a sensitivity analysis for the current year certain key assumptions, as such changes in assumptions would have no impact on the carrying value of goodwill associated with our broadcast networks. Goodwill Digital Media The unit of accounting we use to test goodwill in our digital media segment is the entity level, which includes Salem Web Network, Townhall.com, Eagle Financial Publications and Wellness products. The financial statements for Salem Web Network reflect the operating results and cash flows for all of our Internet sites and our church product sites exclusive of Townhall.com. The financial statements for Townhall.com reflect the operating results for each of our conservative opinion sites. Eagle Wellness includes only the results of the e-commerce site for nutritional products. We perform a qualitative assessment to determine if events and circumstances have occurred that indicate it is more likely than not that the fair value of the assets in each of our digital media entities are less than their carrying values. We review the significant inputs used in our prior year fair value estimates to determine if any changes should be made to those inputs. We estimate the fair value using a market approach and compare the estimated fair value of each entity to its carrying value, including goodwill. Under the market approach, we apply a multiple of four to each entities operating income to estimate the fair value. We believe that a multiple of four is a conservative indicator of fair value as described above. If the carrying amount, including goodwill, exceeds the estimated fair value of the entity, an indication exists that the amount of goodwill attributed to that entity may be impaired. When we have indication of impairment, we engage an independent third-party appraisal and valuation firm to assist us with determining the enterprise value. Bond & Pecaro prepared valuations of the estimated fair value for the testing period ending December 31, 2013. Noble Financial Capital Markets prepared the valuations for the testing periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. In performing our annual impairment testing of goodwill, the fair value of each applicable accounting unit was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis as described above. The key estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of our digital media entities for each testing period are as follows: Enterprise Valuation December 31, 2013 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2015 Risk adjusted discount rate 13.5% 8.0% 8.0% - 9.0 Operating profit margin ranges 21.2% - 22.0 (7.4%) - 34.9 (8.9%) - 13.8% Long-term revenue market growth rate ranges 3.0% 2.50% 2.0-3.0 Based on our review and analysis, we determined that no impairment charges were necessary to the carrying value of goodwill associated with our digital media entities as of the annual testing period ending December 31, 2015, December 31, 2014, and December 31, 2013, respectively. The estimated fair value of Townhall.com exceeded its carrying value, including goodwill, by 0.8% as of December 31, 2015. We performed a sensitivity analysis of certain current year key assumptions, including the long-term revenue growth rate and the WACC, to determine the impact that such changes would have on the estimated fair value of goodwill associated with our digital media segment. The sensitivity analysis indicated that reducing the long-term revenue growth rates and increasing the WACC by 100 basis points would have resulted in an impairment to goodwill associated with our digital media entities of $1.1 million. Digital Media Entities as of December 31, 2015 Percentage Range By Which Estimated Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Including <10% >10% to 20% >20% to 50% > than 50% Number of accounting units 1 - 4 Carrying value including goodwill ( in thousands $ 4,488 $ - $ $ 29,126 Digital Media Entities as of December 31, 2014 Percentage Range By Which Estimated Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Including <10% >10% to 20% >20% to 50% > than 50% Number of accounting units 1 1 1 1 Carrying value including goodwill ( in thousands $ 4,649 $ 6,118 $ 385 $ 26,101 Digital Media Entities as of December 31, 2013 Percentage Range By Which Estimated Fair Value Exceeds Carrying Value Including <10% >10% to 20% >20% to 50% > than 50% Number of accounting units 1 - 1 - Carrying value including goodwill ( in thousands $ 27,456 $ - $ 2,984 $ - Goodwill Publishing The unit of accounting we use to test goodwill in our publishing segment is the entity level, which includes Salem Publishing, Regnery Publishing, and Xulon Press. Salem Publishing is our printing entity that produces our print magazines from a stand-alone facility, under one general manager, with operating results and cash flows of all publications reported on a combined basis. Regnery Publishing is our book publishing entity based in Washington DC, with a stand-alone facility under one general manager, with operating results and cash flows of reported at the entity level. Xulon Press also operates from a stand-alone facility in Orlando, Florida under one general manager who is responsible for the separately stated operating results and cash flows. We have regularly performed quantitative reviews of goodwill associated with our print magazine entity based on the low margins by which our estimated fair values exceed our carrying value including goodwill and actual operating results that have not met our expectations. As of our annual testing period for 2015, only Regnery Publishing and Xulon Press have goodwill associated with them. Based on actual operating results that did not meet our projections, we engaged an independent third-party appraisal firm to assist us with estimating the enterprise value Regnery Publishing. Bond & Pecaro prepared valuations of the estimated fair value for the testing period ending December 31, 2013. Noble Financial Capital Markets prepared the valuations for the testing periods ending December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2015. The enterprise valuation assumes that the subject assets are installed as part of an operating business rather than as a hypothetical start-up. Enterprise Valuation Interim December 31, 2013 December 31, 2014 December 31, 2015 Risk adjusted discount rate 9.0% 9.5% 8.0% 9.5% Operating margin ranges 0.9% - 6.0 (0.5%) 6.0 2.4% - 5.9 (0.5%) 6.0 Long-term revenue market growth rate ranges 1.0% 0.5% 1.5% 2.0% Based on our review and analysis of the enterprise estimated fair value, we recorded a $0.4 million impairment charge associated with the print magazine goodwill as of the June 2013 interim testing period. This impairment was driven by lower projected profit margins based on the failure of the print magazine segment to achieve the amounts previously projected. Additionally, the discount rate was raised from 9.0% to 9.5% based on risks associated with print magazines. The decline in revenues from print magazines is prevalent throughout the industry and is not unique to our operations. No goodwill impairment charges were necessary as of the annual testing period ended December 31, 2013. Based on the impairment recognized to the value of our mastheads in 2014, we could not conclude that it was more likely than not that goodwill associated with our magazine publishing unit was not impaired. We obtained an independent fair value of our magazine publishing unit as of December 2014. Based on this valuation, we determined that the carrying value of the goodwill was less than the implied value of goodwill as of that date and we recorded an impairment charge of $45,000. Based on our review and analysis, we determined that no impairment charges were necessary to the carrying value of goodwill associated with our publishing entities as of the annual testing period ending December 31, 2015. We performed a sensitivity analysis of certain current year key assumptions, including the long-term revenue growth rate and the WACC, to determine the impact that such changes would have on the estimated fair value of goodwill associated with our publishing segment. The sensitivity analysis indicated that reducing the long-term revenue growth rate and increasing the WACC by 100 basis points would have no incremental impact to the carrying value of goodwill associated with our publishing entities.

Under the acquisition method of accounting as specified in FASB ASC Topic 805, “ Business Combinations 1.4 0.8 0.3 0.3 Estimates of the fair value include discounted estimated cash flows to be generated by the assets acquired and their expected useful lives based on historical experience, market trends and any synergies believed to be achieved from the acquisition. Our acquisitions may also include contingent earn-out consideration, the fair value of which is estimated as of the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments as determined using weighted probabilities of the payment amounts. We may retain a third-party appraiser to estimate the fair value of the net assets acquired as of the acquisition date. As part of the valuation and appraisal process, the third-party appraiser prepares a report assigning estimated fair values to the various asset categories in our financial statements. These fair value estimates are subjective in nature and require careful consideration and judgment. Management reviews the third party reports for reasonableness of the assigned values. We believe that these valuations and analysis provide appropriate estimates of the fair value for net assets acquired. Acquired property and equipment are recorded at their estimated fair value and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Goodwill, which typically represents the organizational systems and procedures in place to ensure the effective operation of the business acquired, may be recorded and subject to testing for impairment. Costs associated with acquisitions, such as consulting and legal fees are expensed as incurred. We recognized costs associated with acquisitions of $ 0.3 0.5 The total acquisition consideration is equal to the sum of all cash payments, the present value of any deferred payments and promissory notes, and the present value of any estimated contingent earn-out consideration. We estimate the fair value of contingent earn-out consideration using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market and thus represent a Level 3 measurement as discussed in Note 9 -Fair Value Measurements in our consolidated financial statements. The fair value of any contingent earn-out consideration is reviewed quarterly over the applicable earn-out period. Actual results and achievements of benchmarks are compared to the estimates used in our forecasts. Changes in the estimated fair value of any contingent earn-out consideration are reflected in our results of operations in the period in which they are identified and may materially impact and cause volatility in our operating results as discussed in Note 4 Contingent Earn-out Consideration to our consolidated financial statements.

CONTINGENT EARN-OUT CONSIDERATION | NOTE 4. CONTINGENT EARN-OUT CONSIDERATION Our acquisitions may include contingent earn-out consideration as part of the purchase price under which we will make future payments to the seller upon the achievement of certain benchmarks. The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date at the present value of the expected contingent payments to be made using a probability-weighted discounted cash flow model for probabilities of possible future payments. The present value of the expected future payouts is accreted to interest expense over the earn-out period. The fair value estimates use significant unobservable inputs that reflect our own assumptions as to the ability of the acquired business to meet the targeted benchmarks and discount rates used in the calculations. The unobservable inputs are defined in FASB ASC Topic 820, “ Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” We review the probabilities of possible future payments to the estimated fair value of any contingent earn-out consideration on a quarterly basis over the earn-out period. Actual results are compared to the estimates and probabilities of achievement used in our forecasts. Should actual results of the acquired business increase or decrease as compared to our estimates and assumptions, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are reflected in our results of operations in the period in which they are identified. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact and cause volatility in our operating results. Daily Bible Devotion We acquired Daily Bible Devotion mobile applications on May 6, 2015 for $ 1.1 0.3 165,000 142,000 The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is reviewed quarterly over the two-year earn-out period to compare actual cumulative sessions achieved compared to the cumulative session estimates used in our forecasts. Any changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are reflected in our results of operations in the period they are identified up to the maximum future value of $0.3 million. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact and cause volatility in our future operating results. Based upon the achievement of actual cumulative sessions that exceeded the estimated amounts used in our original forecasts, we increased the probabilities of achieving the future benchmarks by approximately 11.3 32 Bryan Perry Newsletters On February 6, 2015, we acquired the assets and assumed the deferred subscription liabilities for Bryan Perry Newsletters, paying no cash to the seller upon closing. Future contingent earn-out consideration due to the seller is based upon net subscriber revenues achieved over a two-year period from date of close, of which we will pay the seller 50 171,000 158,000 The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is reviewed quarterly over the two year earn-out period to compare actual subscription revenue earned to the estimated subscription revenue used in our forecasts. Any changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are reflected in our results of operations in the period they are identified. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact and cause volatility in our future operating results. Based upon actual subscription revenue earned, we have paid approximately $42,000 to the seller as of the year ending December 31, 2015. We recorded a net decrease of $ 66 Eagle Publishing On January 10, 2014, we acquired the entities of Eagle Publishing, including Regnery Publishing, HumanEvents.com, RedState.com, Eagle Financial Publications and Eagle Wellness. The base purchase price was $ 8.5 3.5 2.5 2.4 2.0 The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is reviewed quarterly over the three year earn-out period to compare actual operating revenues earned to the estimated revenue used in our forecasts. Any changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are reflected in our results of operations in the period they are identified. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact and cause volatility in our future operating results. Our results of operations for the years ending December 31, 2014 and 2015 reflect an increase of $ 0.4 1.2 During the year ending December 31, 2015, we have paid $ 0.9 0.5 Twitchy.com On December 10, 2013, we acquired Twitchy.com for $ 0.9 0.6 The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration was reviewed quarterly over the two year earn-out period.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING | NOTE 9. FAIR VALUE ACCOUNTING FASB ASC Topic 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” established a hierarchal disclosure framework associated with the level of pricing observability utilized in measuring fair value. This framework defines three levels of inputs to the fair value measurement process and requires that each fair value measurement be assigned to a level corresponding to the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The three broad levels of inputs defined by the FASB ASC Topic 820 hierarchy are as follows: ⋅ Level 1 Inputsquoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date; ⋅ Level 2 Inputsinputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, a Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and ⋅ Level 3 Inputsunobservable inputs for the asset or liability. These unobservable inputs reflect the entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, and are developed based on the best information available in the circumstances (which might include the reporting entity’s own data). As of December 31, 2015, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the company.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The company enters into various agreements in the normal course of business that contain minimum guarantees. These minimum guarantees are often tied to future events, such as future revenue earned in excess of the contractual level. Accordingly, the fair value of these arrangements is zero. The company also records contingent earn-out consideration representing the estimated fair value of future liabilities associated with acquisitions that may have additional payments due upon the achievement of certain performance targets. The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date as the present value of the expected contingent payments as determined using weighted probabilities of the expected payment amounts. We review the probabilities of possible future payments to estimate the fair value of any contingent earn-out consideration on a quarterly basis over the earn-out period. Actual results are compared to the estimates and probabilities of achievement used in our forecasts. Should actual results of the acquired business increase or decrease as compared to our estimates and assumptions, the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration liability will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration are reflected in our results of operations in the period in which they are identified. Changes in the estimated fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration may materially impact and cause volatility in our operating results. The company and its subsidiaries, incident to its business activities, are parties to a number of legal proceedings, lawsuits, arbitration and other claims. Such matters are subject to many uncertainties and outcomes that are not predictable with assurance. The company maintains insurance that may provide coverage for such matters. Consequently, the company is unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters. The company believes, at this time, that the final resolution of these matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon the company’s annual consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN | NOTE 12. STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN The company has one stock incentive plan. The Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) allows the company to grant stock options and restricted stock to employees, directors, officers and advisors of the company. A maximum of 5,000,000 CompensationStock Compensation During the year ending December 31, 2014, the Board of Directors accelerated the vesting period for three outstanding stock awards issued to an employee. This accelerated vesting resulted in additional compensation expense of $ 30,000 Year Ended December 31, 2013 2014 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Stock option compensation expense included in corporate expenses $ 766 $ 1,025 $ 474 Restricted stock shares compensation expense included in corporate expenses 481 34 Stock option compensation expense included in broadcast operating expenses 302 325 130 Stock option compensation expense included in Internet operating expenses 253 165 92 Stock option compensation expense included in publishing operating expenses 47 61 41 Total stock-based compensation expense, pre-tax $ 1,849 $ 1,576 $ 771 Tax benefit (expense) from stock-based compensation expense (740) (630) (308) Total stock-based compensation expense, net of tax $ 1,109 $ 946 $ 463 Stock option and restricted stock grants The Plan allows the company to grant stock options and shares of restricted stock to employees, directors, officers and advisors of the company. For grants of stock options, the option exercise price is set at the closing price of the company’s common stock on the date of grant, and the related number of shares underlying the stock option is fixed at that point in time. The Plan also provides for grants of restricted stock. Eligible employees may receive stock options annually with the number of shares and type of instrument generally determined by the employee’s salary grade and performance level. In addition, certain management and professional level employees typically receive a stock option grant upon commencement of employment. The Plan does not allow key employees and directors (restricted persons) to exercise options during pre-defined blackout periods. Employees may participate in plans established pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act that allow them to exercise options according to pre-established criteria. We use the Black-Scholes valuation model to estimate the grant date fair value of stock options and restricted stock. The expected volatility reflects the consideration of the historical volatility of our stock as determined by the closing price over a six to ten year term that is generally commensurate with the expected term of the award. Expected dividends reflect the quarterly distributions authorized and declared on our Class A and Class B common stock as of the grant date. The expected term of the awards are based on evaluations of historical and expected future employee exercise behavior. The risk-free interest rates for periods within the expected term of the award are based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect during the period the options were granted. We use historical data to estimate future forfeiture rates to apply against the gross amount of compensation expense determined using the valuation model.

During the twelve months ended December 31, 2013, the company granted restricted stock awards to certain members of management. These restricted stock awards vested immediately, but contained transfer restrictions under which they could not be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned until the three-month anniversary from the grant date. During the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, the company granted restricted stock awards to non-employee directors that vest one year from the date of issuance. These restricted stock awards contained transfer restrictions under which they could not be sold, pledged, transferred or assigned until the sooner of the fifth anniversary from the grant date or the day after the non-employee director is no longer a member of the company’s board. The restricted stock awards were independent of option grants and were granted at no cost to the recipient other than applicable taxes owed by the recipient. The awards were considered issued and outstanding from the date of grant. The fair values of shares of restricted stock awards are determined based on the closing price of the company’s common stock on the grant dates.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract] | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | NOTE 13. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Our board of directors has adopted a written policy for review, approval and monitoring of transactions between the company and its related parties. Related parties include our directors, executive officers, nominees to become a director, any person beneficially owning more than 5 10 Leases with Principal Stockholders A trust controlled by the Chief Executive Officer of the company, Edward G. Atsinger III, owns real estate on which assets of one radio station are located. Salem has entered into a lease agreement with this trust. Rental expense related to this lease included in operating expense for 2015, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $ 180,000 175,000 170,000 Land and buildings occupied by various Salem radio stations are leased from entities owned by the company’s CEO and its Chairman of the Board. Rental expense under these leases included in operating expense for 2015, 2014 and 2013 amounted to $ 1.3 1.3 1.2 Terminated Subordinated Debt due to Related Parties On November 17, 2011, we entered into terminated subordinated lines of credit with Edward G. Atsinger III, Chief Executive Officer and director of Salem, and Stuart W. Epperson, Chairman of Salem’s board of directors. Pursuant to the related agreements, Mr. Epperson had committed to provide an unsecured revolving line of credit to Salem in a principal amount of up to $ 3 6 6.0 12.0 The proceeds of the Subordinated Debt due to Related Parties may have been used to repurchase a portion of Salem’s then outstanding Terminated 9 5 8 Outstanding amounts under each subordinated line of credit bore interest at a rate equal to the lesser of (1) 5% per annum and (2) the maximum rate permitted for subordinated debt under the Revolver referred to above plus 2% per annum. Interest was payable at the time of any repayment of principal. In addition, outstanding amounts under each terminated subordinated line of credit were required to be repaid within three (3) months from the time that such amounts are borrowed, with the exception of the subordinated line of credit with Mr. Hinz, which was to be repaid within six (6) months from the time that such amounts were borrowed. 9.0 15.0 Because the transactions with Messrs. Atsinger, Epperson and Hinz described above constitute related party transactions, the Nominating and Corporate Governance committee (the “Committee”) of Salem’s board of directors approved the entry by Salem into the subordinated lines of credit and any definitive credit agreements associated therewith. As part of its consideration, the Committee concluded that the terms of the subordinated lines of credit were more favorable to Salem as compared to terms of lines of credit available from unaffiliated third parties. Additionally, in August 2012, the company obtained a fairness opinion from Bond & Pecaro confirming this conclusion. Radio Stations Owned by the Epperson’s Nancy A.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of Salem Media Group, Inc. (“Salem” “we,” “us,” “our” or the “company”) include the company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. |
Description of Business | Description of Business Salem is a domestic multi-media company with integrated operations including radio broadcasting, digital media, and publishing. Effective as of February 19, 2015, we changed our name from Salem Communications Corporation to Salem Media Group, Inc. Salem was formed in 1986 as a California corporation and was reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. Our content is intended for audiences interested in Christian and family-themed programming and conservative news talk. We maintain a website at www.salemmedia.com Our foundational business is the ownership and operation of radio stations in large metropolitan markets. We also own and operate Salem Radio Network® (“SRN”), SRN News Network (“SNN”), Salem Music Network (“SMN”), Today’s Christian Music (“TCM”), Singing News Network (formerly Solid Gospel Network) and Salem Media Representatives TM Web-based and digital content has been a significant growth area for Salem and continues to be a focus of future development. Salem Web Network (“SWN”) and our other web-based businesses provide Christian and conservative-themed content, audio and video streaming, and other resources digitally through the web. SWN’s web portals include Christian content websites: OnePlace.com, Christianity.com, Crosswalk.com®, GodVine.com, Jesus.org and BibleStudyTools.com. Our conservative opinion websites, collectively known as Townhall Media, include Townhall.com, HotAir.com, Twitchy.com, HumanEvents.com and RedState.com. We also issue digital newsletters, including Eagle Financial Publications, that provide market analysis and investment strategies for individual subscribers from financial commentators. Church product websites including WorshipHouseMedia.com, SermonSpice.com, and ChurchStaffing.com offer downloads and service platforms to pastors and other educators. Our web content is accessible through all of our radio station websites that feature content of interest to local listeners throughout the United States. Digital media also includes our e-commerce sites, Salem Consumer Products (“SCP”), Eagle Wellness and Gene Smart Wellness. SCP is our e-commerce business that sells books, DVD’s and editorial content developed by our on-air personalities. Eagle Wellness and Gene Smart Wellness are e-commerce sites that offer health advice and nutritional products. Our acquisition of Regnery Publishing expanded our publishing operations to include book publishing in addition to print magazines and our self-publishing service. Regnery Publishing has published dozens of bestselling books by leading conservative authors and personalities, including Ann Coulter, Newt Gingrich, David Limbaugh, Ed Klein, Mark Steyn and Dinesh D'Souza. Our publishing operating segment also includes Salem Publishing and Xulon Press. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | We consider all highly liquid debt instruments, purchased with an initial maturity of three-months or less, to be cash equivalents. The carrying value of our cash equivalents approximated fair value at each balance sheet date. |
Trade Accounts Receivable | Trade Accounts Receivable Trade accounts receivable represent receivables from customers for the sale of advertising, block program time, sponsorships and events, product sales, royalties, video and graphic downloads, subscriptions, and book sales. Our receivables are recorded as invoiced and represent claims that will be settled in cash. The carrying value of our receivables, net of the allowance for doubtful accounts and estimated sales returns, represents their estimated net realizable value. Trade accounts receivable for our self-publishing services represent contractual amounts due under individual payment plans. These contractual receivables are included in deferred revenue until the applicable earnings process is complete. |
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts | Allowance for Doubtful Accounts We evaluate the balance reserved in our allowance for doubtful accounts on a quarterly basis based on our historical collection experience, the age of the receivables, specific customer information and current economic conditions. Past due balances are generally not written-off until all of our collection efforts have been unsuccessful, including use of a collections agency. A considerable amount of judgment is required in assessing the likelihood of ultimate realization of these receivables, including the current creditworthiness of each customer. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not historically recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates. |
Inventory | Inventory Inventories consist of finished goods, including published books and wellness products. Inventory is recorded at the lower of cost or market as determined on a First-In First-Out (“FIFO”) cost method |
Inventory Reserves | Inventory Reserves We reviewed historical data associated with book and wellness product inventories held by Regnery Publishing and our e-commerce wellness entities, as well as our own experiences to estimate the fair value of inventory on hand. Our analysis includes a review of actual sales returns, our allowances, royalty reserves, overall economic conditions and product demand. We record a provision to expense the balance of unsold inventory that we believe to be unrecoverable. We regularly monitor actual performance to our estimates and make adjustments as necessary. Estimated inventory reserves may be adjusted, either favorably or unfavorably, if factors such as the historical data we used to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future returns or as a result of changes in economic conditions of the customer and/or the market. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not historically recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and that our reserves are accurately reflected. |
Accounting for Property and Equipment | Property and equipment are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation. Cost represents the historical cost of acquiring the asset, including the costs necessarily incurred to bring it to the condition and location necessary for its intended use. For assets constructed for our own use, such as towers and buildings that are discrete projects for which costs are separately accumulated and for which construction takes considerable time, we record capitalized interest. The amount capitalized is the cost that could have been avoided had the asset not been constructed and is based on the average accumulated expenditures incurred over the capitalization period at the weighted average rate applicable to our outstanding variable rate debt. We capitalized interest of $0.2 million and $0.1 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense as incurred. Improvements are capitalized when they extend the life of the asset or enhance the quality or ability of the asset to benefit operations Category Estimated Life Buildings 40 years Office furnishings and equipment 5 -10 years Antennae, towers and transmitting equipment 10 - 20 years Studio, production and mobile equipment 5 - 10 years Computer software and website development costs 3 years Record and tape libraries 3 years Automobiles 5 years Leasehold improvements Lesser of 15 years or life of lease The carrying value of property and equipment is evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and anticipated future cash flows of the underlying radio stations and business units for indicators of impairment. When indicators of impairment are present, and the cash flows estimated to be generated from these assets is less than the carrying value, an adjustment to reduce the carrying value to the fair market value of the assets is recorded. See Note 6 Property and Equipment. |
Accounting for Internally Developed Software and Website Development Costs | Accounting for Internally Developed Software and Website Development Costs We capitalize costs incurred during the application development stage related to the development of internal-use software as specified in FASB ASC Topic 350-40 “ Internal-Use Software |
Accounting for Amortizable Intangible Assets | Accounting for Amortizable Intangible Assets Intangible assets are recorded at cost less accumulated amortization. Typically, intangible assets are acquired in conjunction with the acquisition of broadcast entities, digital media entities and publishing entities. Category Estimated Life Customer lists and contracts Lesser of 5 years or life of contract Domain and brand names 5 -7 years Favorable and assigned leases Lease Term Subscriber base and lists 3 - 7 years Author relationships 1 - 7 years Non-compete agreements 2 to 5 years The carrying value of our amortizable intangible assets are evaluated periodically in relation to the operating performance and anticipated future cash flows of the underlying radio stations and businesses for indicators of impairment. In accordance with FASB ASC Topic 360 “ Property, Plant and Equipment |
Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Approximately 70% of our total assets as of December 31, 2015 consist of indefinite-lived intangible assets, such as broadcast licenses, goodwill and mastheads, the value of which depends significantly upon the operating results of our businesses. In the case of our radio stations, we would not be able to operate the properties without the related FCC license for each property. Broadcast licenses are renewed with the FCC every eight years for a nominal cost that is expensed as incurred. We continually monitor our stations’ compliance with the various regulatory requirements. Historically, all of our broadcast licenses have been renewed at the end of their respective periods, and we expect that all broadcast licenses will continue to be renewed in the future. Accordingly, we consider our broadcast licenses to be indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 350, “ Intangibles Goodwill and Other” |
Accounting for Acquisitions | Accounting for Acquisitions We account for business acquisitions in accordance with the acquisition method of accounting as specified in FASB ASC Topic 805 “ Business Combinations A majority of our radio station acquisitions have consisted primarily of the FCC licenses to broadcast in a particular market. We often do not acquire the existing format, or we change the format upon acquisition when we find it beneficial. As a result, a substantial portion of the purchase price for the assets of a radio station is allocated to the broadcast license. Property and equipment are recorded at their estimated fair value and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Finite-lived intangible assets are recorded at their estimated fair value and amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. Costs associated with acquisitions, such as consulting and legal fees, are expensed as incurred in unallocated corporate operating expenses. |
Accounting for Contingent Earn-Out Consideration | Accounting for Contingent Earn-Out Consideration Our acquisitions often include contingent earn-out consideration as part of the purchase price. The fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration is estimated as of the acquisition date based on the present value of the expected contingent payments to be made using a weighted probability of possible payments. The unobservable inputs used in the determination of the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration include our own assumptions about the likelihood of payment based on the established benchmarks and discount rates based on our internal rate of return analysis. The fair value measurement includes inputs that are Level 3 measurement as discussed in Note 9 to our consolidated financial statements included in this annual report on Form 10-K. We review the probabilities of possible future payments to the estimated fair value of any contingent earn-out consideration on a quarterly basis over the earn-out period. Actual results are compared to the estimates and probabilities of achievement used in our forecasts. Should actual results increase or decrease as compared to the assumption used in our analysis, the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration obligations will increase or decrease, up to the contracted limit, as applicable. Changes in the fair value of the contingent earn-out consideration could cause a material impact and volatility in our operating results. See Note 4 Contingent Earn-Out Consideration. |
Accounting for Discontinued Operations | Accounting for Discontinued Operations We regularly review underperforming assets to determine if a sale or disposal might be a better way to monetize the assets. When a station, group of stations, or other asset group is considered for sale or disposal, we review the transaction to determine if or when the entity qualifies as a discontinued operation in accordance with the criteria of FASB ASC Topic 205-20 “ Discontinued Operations In April 2014, the FASB issued authoritative guidance which raises the threshold for disposals to qualify as discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, a discontinued operation is (1) a component of an entity or group of components that have been disposed of or are classified as held for sale and represent a strategic shift that has or will have a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results, or (2) an acquired business that is classified as held for sale on the acquisition date. |
Revenue Recognition | Revenue Recognition Revenue is recognized as it is earned in accordance with applicable guidelines. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are performed, fees are fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. We account for broadcast revenue from the sale of airtime for programs or spots as the program or advertisement is broadcast. Revenues are reported net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. Digital revenue is recognized upon delivery of page-views, delivery of impressions as specified in the contract, delivery of the digital newsletter or email, or upon delivery of the advertisement or programming content via streaming. Revenues are reported net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. Revenue from product sales and book sales are recognized upon shipment net of distribution fees and an allowance for sales returns. Revenues from advertisements in our print magazines are recognized upon delivery of the publication net of agency commissions, which are calculated as a stated percentage applied to gross billings. Subscription revenue from our print magazines and digital newsletters is recognized over the life of the related subscription. |
Revenue recognition for multiple-deliverables | Revenue recognition for multiple-deliverables We enter bundled advertising agreements that may include cross-promotions such as advertisements on our radio stations, digital banners, print magazine placements, booth space at local events, or some combination thereof. The multiple deliverables contained in each agreement are accounted for separately over their respective delivery period provided that they are separate units of accounting. The selling price for each deliverable is based on vendor specific objective evidence, if available, or the estimated fair value of each deliverable. Objective evidence of the fair value includes the price charged for each element when sold separately or the price that we would transact if the deliverable is sold regularly on a standalone basis. Arrangement consideration is allocated at the inception of each agreement to all deliverables using the relative selling price method. The relative selling price method allocates any discount in the arrangement proportionally to each deliverable on the basis of each deliverable’s selling price. |
Sales Returns | Sales Returns We provide for estimated returns for products sold with the right of return, primarily book sales associated with Regnery Publishing and nutritional products sold through Eagle Wellness and Gene Smart. We record an estimate of these product returns as a reduction of revenue in the period of the sale. Our estimates are based upon historical sales returns, the amount of current period sales, economic trends and any changes in customer demand and acceptance of our products. We regularly monitor actual performance to estimated return rates and make adjustments as necessary. Estimated return rates utilized for establishing estimated returns reserves have approximated actual returns experience. However, actual returns may differ significantly, either favorably or unfavorably, from these estimates if factors such as the historical data we used to calculate these estimates do not properly reflect future returns or as a result of changes in economic conditions of the customer and/or the market. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates |
Barter Transactions | We may provide broadcast time or digital advertising placement to customers in exchange for certain products, supplies or services. The terms of these exchanges generally permit for the preemption of such broadcast time or digital placements in favor of customers who purchase these items for cash. We include the value of such exchanges in net revenues and operating expenses. The value recorded for barter revenue and barter expense is based upon management’s estimate of the fair value of the products, supplies or services received. . We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and that our barter revenue and barter expense are accurately reflected. We record barter revenue as it is earned, typically when the broadcast time is used or the digital advertisement is delivered. We record barter expense equal to the estimated fair value of the goods or services received upon receipt or usage of the items as applicable. Barter revenue included in broadcast revenue for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was approximately $5.6 million, $6.0 million and $6.1 million, respectively. Barter expenses included in broadcast operating expense for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 were approximately $4.8 million, $6.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively |
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation | Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation We account for stock-based compensation under the provisions of Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 718, “ CompensationStock Compensation |
Accounting for Advertising and Promotional Cost | Accounting for Advertising and Promotional Cost Costs of media advertising and associated production costs are expensed as incurred and amounted to approximately $11.3 million, $11.5 million and $10.0 million for each of the years ending December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. |
Leases | We lease various facilities including broadcast tower and transmitter sites. When we enter a lease agreement, we review the terms to determine the appropriate classification of the lease as a capital lease or operating lease based on the factors listed in FASB ASC Topic 840 “ Leases |
Leasehold Improvements | Leasehold Improvements We may construct or otherwise invest in leasehold improvements to properties. The costs of these leasehold improvements are capitalized and depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the improvement or the remaining lease term. |
Partial Self-Insurance on Employee Health Plan | Partial Self-Insurance on Employee Health Plan We provide health insurance benefits to eligible employees under a self-insured plan whereby the company pays actual medical claims subject to certain stop loss limits. We record self-insurance liabilities based on actual claims filed and an estimate of those claims incurred but not reported. Any projection of losses concerning our liability is subject to a high degree of variability. Among the causes of this variability are unpredictable external factors such as future inflation rates, changes in severity, benefit level changes, medical costs and claim settlement patterns. Should the actual amount of claims increase or decrease beyond what was anticipated, we may adjust our future reserves. Our self-insurance liability was $0.7 million and $0.9 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
Derivative Instruments | We are exposed to fluctuations in interest rates. We actively monitor these fluctuations and use derivative instruments from time to time to manage the related risk. In accordance with our risk management strategy, we may use derivative instruments only for the purpose of managing risk associated with an asset, liability, committed transaction, or probable forecasted transaction that is identified by management. Our use of derivative instruments may result in short-term gains or losses that may increase the volatility of our earnings. Under FASB ASC Topic 815, “ Derivatives and Hedging” On March 27, 2013, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. that began on March 28, 2014 with a notional principal amount of $150.0 million. The agreement was entered to offset risks associated with the variable interest rate on our Term Loan B. Payments on the swap are due on a quarterly basis with a LIBOR floor of 0.625%. The swap expires on March 28, 2019 at a fixed rate of 1.645%. The interest rate swap agreement was not designated as a cash flow hedge, and as a result, all changes in the fair value are recognized in the current period statement of operations rather than through other comprehensive income. We recorded a long-term liability of $0.8 million as of December 31, 2015, representing the fair value of the interest rate swap agreement. As of December 31, 2014 As of December 31, 2015 (Dollars in thousands) Fair value of interest rate swap asset (liability) $ 475 $ (798 ) |
Fair Value Accounting | Fair Value Accounting As of December 31, 2015, the carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade accounts receivables, accounts payable, accrued expenses and accrued interest approximates fair value due to the short-term nature of such instruments. The carrying value of other long-term liabilities approximates fair value as the related interest rates approximate rates currently available to the company. See Note 9 Fair Value Accounting. |
Long-term Debt and Debt Covenant Compliance | Long-term Debt and Debt Covenant Compliance Our classification of outstanding borrowings on our Term Loan B as long-term debt on our balance sheet is based on our assessment that, under the terms of our Credit Agreement and after considering our projected operating results and cash flows for the coming year, no principal payments are required to be made. The Term Loan B has a term of seven years, maturing in March 2020. We are required to make principal payments of $750,000 per quarter, which began on September 30, 2013. Prepayments may be made against the outstanding balance of our Term Loan B. Each repayment of the Term Loan B is applied ratably to each of the next four principal installments thereof in the direct order of maturity and thereafter to the remaining principal balance in reverse order of maturity. Our projections of operating results and cash flows for the coming year are estimates dependent upon a number of factors including but not limited to developments in the markets in which we are operating in and varying economic and political factors. Accordingly, these projections are inherently uncertain and our actual results could differ from these estimates. |
Deferred Financing Costs | Deferred Financing Costs Deferred financing costs consists of underwriting and legal fees incurred in conjunction with entering our Term Loan B and Revolver. These costs are being amortized to interest expense over the seven-year term of the Term Loan B and the five-year term of the Revolver. During the year ended December 31, 2015, approximately $27,000 of the deferred financing costs were written off in conjunction with the early retirement of the Term Loan B compared to $0.3 million during the prior year. Deferred financing costs were $2.5 million and $3.2 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. |
Income Taxes and Uncertain Tax Positions | We account for income taxes in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740 “ Income Taxes |
Valuation Allowance (deferred taxes) | Valuation Allowance (deferred taxes) For financial reporting purposes, we recorded a valuation allowance of $2.8 million as of December 31, 2015 to offset a portion of the deferred tax assets related to the state net operating loss carryforwards. We regularly review our financial forecasts in an effort to determine our ability to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards for tax purposes. Accordingly, the valuation allowance is adjusted periodically based on our estimate of the benefit the company will receive from such carryforwards. |
Royalty Advances to Authors | Royalty Advances to Authors Royalties due to book authors are paid in advance and capitalized. Royalties are expensed as the related book revenues are earned or when we determine that future recovery of the royalty is not likely. We reviewed historical data associated with royalty advances, earnings and recoverability based on actual results of Regnery Publishing. Historically, the longer the unearned portion of an advance remains outstanding, the less likely it is that we will recover the advance through the sale of the book. We apply this historical experience to outstanding royalty advances to estimate the likelihood of recovery. A provision was established to expense the balance of any unearned advance which we believe is not recoverable. Our analysis also considers other discrete factors, such as death of an author, any decision to not pursue publication of a title, poor market demand or other relevant factors. We have not modified our estimate methodology and we have not historically recognized significant losses from changes in our estimates. We believe that our estimates and assumptions are reasonable and that our reserves are accurately reflected. |
Contingency reserves | Contingency reserves In the ordinary course of business, we are involved in various legal proceedings, lawsuits, arbitration and other claims which are complex in nature and have outcomes that are difficult to predict. Consequently, we are unable to ascertain the ultimate aggregate amount of monetary liability or the financial impact with respect to these matters. We record contingency reserves to the extent we conclude that it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the related loss can be reasonably estimated. The establishment of the reserve is based on a review of all relevant factors, the advice of legal counsel, and the subjective judgment of management. The reserves we have recorded to date have not been material to our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. We believe that While we believe that the final resolution of any known maters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect upon our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows, it is p ossible that we could incur additional losses. |
Gain or Loss on the Sale or Disposal of Assets | Gain or Loss on the Sale or Disposal of Assets We record gains or losses on the sale or disposal of assets equal to the proceeds, if any, as compared to the net book value. Exchange transactions are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 845 “ Non-Monetary Transactions |
Basic and Diluted Net Earnings Per Share | Basic and Diluted Net Earnings Per Share Basic net earnings per share has been computed using the weighted average number of Class A and Class B shares of common stock outstanding during the period. Diluted net earnings per share is computed using the weighted average number of shares of Class A and Class B common stock outstanding during the period plus the dilutive effects of stock options. Options to purchase 2,162,067, 1,816,204 and 1,581,123 shares of Class A common stock were outstanding at December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively. Diluted weighted average shares outstanding exclude outstanding stock options whose exercise price is in excess of the average price of the company’s stock price. These options are excluded from the respective computations of diluted net income or loss per share because their effect would be anti-dilutive. The number of anti-dilutive shares as of December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015 was nil, 589,437 and 705,163, respectively. Year Ended December 31, 2013 2014 2015 Weighted average shares 24,938,075 25,336,809 25,426,732 Effect of dilutive securities - stock options 744,366 461,087 Weighted average shares adjusted for dilutive securities 24,938,075 26,081,175 25,887,819 |

Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities We account for entities qualifying as variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 810, “ Consolidation” We may enter into LMAs contemporaneously with entering an APA to acquire or sell a radio station. We may also enter into TBAs. Typically, both LMAs and TBAs are contractual agreements under which the station owner/licensee makes airtime available to a programmer/licensee in exchange for a fee and reimbursement of certain expenses. LMAs and TBAs are subject to compliance with the antitrust laws and the communications laws, including the requirement that the licensee must maintain independent control over the station and, in particular, its personnel, programming, and finances. The FCC has held that such agreements do not violate the communications laws as long as the licensee of the station receiving programming from another station maintains ultimate responsibility for, and control over, station operations and otherwise ensures compliance with the communications laws. The requirements of FASB ASC Topic 810 may apply to entities under LMAs or TBAs, depending on the facts and circumstances related to each transaction. As of December 31, 2015, we did not consolidate any entities with which we entered into LMAs or TBAs under the guidance in FASB ASC Topic 810. |
Concentrations of Business Risks | We derive a substantial part of our total revenues from the sale of advertising. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2014 and 2015, 40.8%, 40.2% and 39.4% of our total revenues, respectively, were generated from the sale of broadcast advertising. We are particularly dependent on revenue from stations in the Los Angeles and Dallas markets, which generated 15.2% and 25.5% for the year ended December 31, 2013, 14.3% and 24.0% for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 14.7% and 24.5% for the year ended December 31, 2015. Because substantial portions of our revenues are derived from local advertisers in these key markets, our ability to generate revenues in those markets could be adversely affected by local or regional economic downturns. |
Concentrations of Credit Risks | Concentrations of Credit Risks Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents; trade accounts receivable and derivative instruments. We place our cash and cash equivalents with high quality financial institutions. Such balances may be in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation insured limits. To manage the related credit exposure, we continually monitor the credit worthiness of the financial institutions where we have deposits. Concentrations of credit risk with respect to trade accounts receivable are limited due to the wide variety of customers and markets in which we provide services, as well as the dispersion of our operations across many geographic areas. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, but generally do not require collateral to support customer receivables. We establish an allowance for doubtful accounts based on various factors including the credit risk of specific customers, age of receivables outstanding, historical trends, economic conditions and other information. Historically, our bad debt expense has been within management’s expectations. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP 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. Significant areas for which management uses estimates include: ⋅ asset impairments, including goodwill, broadcasting licenses and other indefinite-lived intangible assets; ⋅ probabilities associated with the potential for contingent earn-out consideration; ⋅ fair value measurements; ⋅ contingency reserves; ⋅ allowance for doubtful accounts; ⋅ sales returns and allowances; ⋅ barter transactions; ⋅ inventory reserves; ⋅ reserves for royalty advances; ⋅ fair value of equity awards; ⋅ self-insurance reserves; ⋅ estimated lives for tangible and intangible assets; ⋅ income tax valuation allowances; and ⋅ uncertain tax positions. These estimates require the use of judgment as future events and the effect of these events cannot be predicted with certainty. The estimates will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired and as more information is obtained. We evaluate and update our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and we may consult outside experts to assist as considered necessary. |
Reclassifications | Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year financial statements to conform to the current year presentation. |
Recent Accounting Pronouncements | Recent Accounting Pronouncements Changes to accounting principles are established by the FASB in the form of accounting standards updates (“ASU’s”) to the FASB’s Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASU’s. ASU’s that are not listed below were assessed and determined to be not applicable to our financial position, results of operations, cash flows, or presentation thereof.
