	1.       BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND ORGANIZATION
	Nature Of Business – Entercom Communications Corp. (the “Company”) is one of the five largest radio broadcasting companies in the United States with a nationwide portfolio in excess of 100 stations in 23 markets, including San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Denver, Portland, Sacramento and Kansas City.
	Revision Of Prior Period Financial Statements
	In connection with the preparation of the Company's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company identified and corrected a prior period error relating to the timing difference on the recognition of a gain on the sale of certain towers. For tax purposes, the gain was reported in the 2009 tax year, but was deferred for book purposes. The timing difference created a deferred tax asset that would be reversed at such time as the gain was reported for book purposes. Since all deferred tax assets were fully reserved in 2009 and in 2010 with a valuation allowance, there was no income statement impact in the years 2009 or 2010. When the Company reversed its full valuation allowance in 2011, the release created an income tax benefit, which is reflected as an adjustment in the table below.
	The Company assessed the materiality of this error and concluded that it was not material to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. The Company has revised all affected periods presented herein to reflect the correct accounting for this tax benefit. This non-cash item did not impact the Company's operating income or operating cash flows for the current or prior periods and has no impact on the Company's cash taxes.
	The following table presents the effects of the revision on the Company's consolidated statement of operation for the period presented:

Accounting Policies Abstract	'
Significant Accounting Policies Text Block	'
	2.       SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	Principles Of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company also considers the applicability of any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that are required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. From time to time, the Company may enter into a time brokerage agreement (“TBA”) in connection with the pending acquisition or disposition of radio stations and the requirement to consolidate a VIE may apply, depending on the facts and circumstances related to each transaction. As of December 31, 2013, the consolidation requirements as a VIE (see Note 20, Contingencies, Guarantor Arrangements And Commitments) did not apply as there were no pending transactions.
	Reportable Segment - The Company operates under one reportable business segment, radio broadcasting, for which segment disclosure is consistent with the management decision-making process that determines the allocation of resources and the measuring of performance. Radio stations serving the same geographic area, which may be comprised of a city or combination of cities, are referred to as markets or as distinct operating segments. The Company has 23 operating segments. These operating segments are aggregated to create one reportable segment.
	Management's Use Of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) asset impairments, including broadcasting licenses and goodwill; (2) income tax valuation allowances; (3) uncertain tax positions; (4) allowance for doubtful accounts; (5) self-insurance reserves; (6) fair value of equity awards; (7) estimated lives for tangible and intangible assets; (8) fair value measurements for financial instruments such as interest rate hedging transactions; and (9) contingency and litigation reserves. The Company's accounting estimates require the use of judgment as future events and the effect of these events cannot be predicted with certainty. The accounting estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired and as more information is obtained. The Company evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may use outside experts to assist in the Company's evaluation, as considered necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
	Income Taxes – The Company applies the liability method to the accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded for a net deferred tax asset balance when it is more likely than not that the benefits of the tax asset will not be realized. The Company reviews on a continuing basis the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that such an adjustment is required.
	The Company applies the guidance for income taxes and intra-period allocation to the recognition of uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. The guidance requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of this guidance may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. This guidance also clarifies the method to allocate income taxes (benefit) to the different components of income (loss), such as: (1) income (loss) from continuing operations; (2) income (loss) from discontinued operations; (3) extraordinary items; (4) other comprehensive income (loss); (5) the cumulative effects of accounting changes; and (6) other charges or credits recorded directly to shareholders' equity. See Note 13 for a further discussion of income taxes.
	Property And Equipment – Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions or improvements are capitalized, including interest expense when material, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
	Depreciation expense on property and equipment is determined on a straight-line basis.
	Depreciation expense for property and equipment is reflected in the following table for the periods indicated:
			Property And Equipment
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
			(amounts in thousands)
	Depreciation expense		$	7,543		$	9,903		$	10,325
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company had construction commitments outstanding of $1.7 million.
	The following is a summary of the categories of property and equipment along with the range of estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes:
		Depreciation Period				Property And Equipment
		In Years				December 31,
		From		To		2013			2012
						(amounts in thousands)
	Land, land easements and land improvements	0		15		$	12,750		$	16,640
	Buildings	20		40			22,660			21,535
	Equipment	3		40			118,180			123,979

	Accumulated depreciation						-145,193			-148,605
							43,784			49,724
	Capital improvements in progress						655			1,953
	Net property and equipment					$	44,439		$	51,677
	Long-Lived Assets - The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, broadcasting licenses (subject to an eight-year renewal cycle), goodwill, deferred charges, and other assets. See Note 4 for further discussion. If events or changes in circumstances were to indicate that an asset's carrying value is not recoverable, a write-down of the asset would be recorded through a charge to operations. The determination and measurement of the fair value of long-lived assets requires the use of significant judgments and estimates. Future events may impact these judgments and estimates.
	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company conducted an evaluation of useful lives for longer-lived assets, such as broadcast towers and buildings. As a result of this review, the Company determined that based on current facts and circumstances, future acquisitions may warrant the use of longer lives anywhere between 15 years and 40 years.
	Revenue Recognition – Revenue from the sale of commercial broadcast time to advertisers is recognized when the commercials are broadcast. Revenues presented in the consolidated financial statements are reflected on a net basis, after the deduction of advertising agency fees by the advertising agencies, usually at a rate of 15% of gross revenues. Promotional fees are recognized as services are rendered. Advertiser payments received in advance of when the commercials are broadcast are recorded as unearned revenue.
	The Company derives revenues through e-commerce by selling discount certificates for advertiser goods and services directly to the Company's listeners through the use of the Company's station websites. In this business model, the Company shares a portion of the e-commerce sales with the advertiser. The Company reports these revenues on a net basis after deducting the portion of the sales that were shared with the advertiser.
	The following table presents the amounts of unearned revenues as of the periods indicated:
					Unearned Revenues
					December 31,
			Balance Sheet Location		2013			2012
					(amounts in thousands)
	Current		Accrued compensation and other current liabilities		$	317		$	291
	Long-term		Other long-term liabilities		$	43		$	125
	Concentration Of Credit Risk – The Company's revenues and accounts receivable relate primarily to the sale of advertising within its radio stations' broadcast areas. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers' financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and consistently have been within management's expectations. The Company also maintains deposit accounts with financial institutions. At times, such deposits may exceed FDIC insurance limits.
	Debt Issuance Costs And Original Issue Discount – The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized over the lives of the related debt and such amortization is accounted for as interest expense. In connection with the Company's debt: (1) in December 2013 and in November 2012, the Company recorded deferred debt issuance costs in connection with debt modifications; and (2) in November 2011, the Company recorded deferred debt issuance costs and an original issue discount in connection with its debt refinancing (debt modification for its revolving credit facility). See Note 7 for further discussion for the amount of deferred financing expense and original issue discount that was included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
	Extinguishment Of Debt –The Company may amend, append or replace, in part or in full, its outstanding debt. The Company reviews its unamortized financing costs associated with its outstanding debt to determine the amount subject to extinguishment under the accounting provisions for an exchange of debt instruments with substantially different terms or changes in a line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangement. In connection with the Company's November 2012 debt modification and November 2011 debt refinancing, the Company recorded debt extinguishment costs. See Note 7 for a discussion of any debt extinguishments associated with the Company's long-term debt.
	Corporate General And Administrative Expense – Corporate general and administrative expense consists of corporate overhead costs and non-cash compensation expense. Included in corporate general and administrative expenses are those costs not specifically allocable to any of the Company's individual business properties.
	Time Brokerage Agreement (Income) Fees – TBA fees or income consist of fees paid or received under agreements which permit an acquirer to program and market stations prior to an acquisition. The Company sometimes enters into a TBA agreement prior to the consummation of station acquisitions and dispositions. The Company may also enter into a Joint Sales Agreement (“JSA”) to market, but not to program, a station for a defined period of time.
	Barter Transactions – The Company provides advertising broadcast time in exchange for certain products, supplies and services. The terms of the exchanges generally permit the Company to preempt such broadcast time in favor of advertisers who purchase time on regular terms. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both broadcasting net revenues and station operating expenses. Barter valuation is based upon management's estimate of the fair value of the products, supplies and services received. See Note 15, Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures On Non-Cash Investing And Financing Activities, for a summary of the Company's barter transactions.
	Business Combinations – Accounting guidance for business combinations provides the criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. Other than goodwill, the Company uses a direct value method to determine the fair value of all intangible assets required to be recognized for business combinations. For a discussion of impairment testing of those assets acquired in a business combination, including goodwill, see Note 4.
	Asset Retirement Obligations – The Company reasonably estimates the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. For an asset retirement obligation that is conditional (uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement), the Company factors into its fair value measurement a probability factor as the obligation depends upon a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company. The Company's asset retirement obligations are not significant when compared to its net outstanding property and equipment.
	Accrued Compensation – Certain types of employee compensation, which amounts are included in the balance sheets under accrued compensation and other current liabilities, are paid in subsequent periods. See Note 6 for amounts reflected in the balance sheets.
	Cash And Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts held on deposit with financial institutions, including investments held in financial institutions in immediately available money market accounts and all highly liquid debt instruments with initial maturities of three months or less.
	Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company follows accounting guidance for its derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities (for further discussion, see Note 9).
	Leases – The Company follows accounting guidance for its leases, which includes the recognition of escalated rents on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, as described further in Note 6.
	Share-Based Compensation – The Company records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, at estimated fair values. The Company also uses the simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of certain stock options. For further discussion of share-based compensation, see Note 11.
	Investments – For those investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. For those investments in which the Company does not have such significant influence, the Company applies the accounting guidance for certain investments in debt and equity securities. An investment is classified into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities, and, depending upon the classification, is carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices or historical cost when quoted market prices are unavailable.
	The Company also provides certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures for those investments that are impaired (other than temporarily) at the balance sheet date and for those investments for which an impairment has not been recognized.
	Advertising And Promotion Costs – Costs of media advertising and associated production costs are expensed when incurred.
	Insurance And Self-Insurance Liabilities – The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for the potential liabilities for workers' compensation, general liability, property, director and officers' liability, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are estimated, in part, by considering claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, outside expertise and other actuarial assumptions. For any legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency, the Company recognizes the expense as incurred.
	Recognition Of Insurance Recoveries – The Company recognizes insurance recoveries when all of the contingencies related to the insurance claims have been satisfied.
	Sports Programming Costs – Programming costs which are for a specified number of events are amortized on an event-by-event basis, and programming costs which are for a specified season are amortized over the season on a straight-line basis. The Company allocates that portion of sports programming costs that are related to sponsorship and marketing activities to sales and marketing expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.
	Accrued Litigation - The Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party and records a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These judgments are subjective, based on the status of such legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of the Company's defenses and consultation with corporate and external legal counsel. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the Company's estimates. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred in professional fees. See Contingencies under Note 20.
	Software Costs – The Company capitalizes direct internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development state.  Internal-use software includes website development activities such as the planning and design of additional functionality and features for existing sites and/or the planning and design of new sites. Costs related to the maintenance, content development and training of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of three years using the straight-line method.
Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to the presentation in the current year.
Recent Accounting Standards
Netting Of Unrecognized Tax Benefits Against Tax Assets
In June 2013, the accounting guidance was modified to require the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in the settlement of uncertain tax positions. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and can be applied on a prospective basis. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company's current presentation conforms to this new guidance.
Obligations Resulting From Joint And Several Liability Arrangements
In February 2013, the accounting guidance was amended for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendment is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of these provisions will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Amounts Reclassified Out Of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
In February 2013, the accounting guidance was modified with respect to how to report the effect of a significant reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not materially change the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Balance Sheet Disclosures About Offsetting Assets And Liabilities
In December 2011, the accounting guidance was revised to modify disclosures regarding financial and derivative instruments. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to provide for comparability with international accounting standards. This guidance, which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013, was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not materially change the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.

	Indefinite-Lived Intangibles
	Goodwill and certain intangible assets are not amortized. The Company accounts for its acquired broadcasting licenses as indefinite-lived intangible assets and, similar to goodwill, these assets are reviewed at least annually for impairment. At the time of each review, if the fair value is less than the carrying value of goodwill and certain intangibles (such as broadcasting licenses), then a charge is recorded to the results of operations.
	The Company may only write down the carrying value of its indefinite-lived intangibles. The Company is not permitted to increase the carrying value if the fair value of these assets subsequently increases.

	Broadcasting Licenses Impairment Test
	The Company performs its annual broadcasting license impairment test during the second quarter of each year by evaluating its broadcasting licenses for impairment at the market level using the direct method.
	Each market's broadcasting licenses are combined into a single unit of accounting for purposes of testing impairment, as the broadcasting licenses in each market are operated as a single asset. The Company determines the fair value of the broadcasting licenses in each of its markets by relying on a discounted cash flow approach (a 10-year income model) assuming a start-up scenario in which the only assets held by an investor are broadcasting licenses. The Company's fair value analysis contains assumptions based upon past experience and reflects expectations of industry observers and includes judgments about future performance using industry normalized information for an average station within a certain market. These assumptions include, but are not limited to: (1) the discount rate; (2) the market share and profit margin of an average station within a market, based upon market size and station type; (3) the forecast growth rate of each radio market; (4) the estimated capital start-up costs and losses incurred during the early years; (5) the likely media competition within the market area; (6) the tax rate; and (7) future terminal values.
	The methodology used by the Company in determining its key estimates and assumptions was applied consistently to each market. Of the seven variables identified above, the Company believes that the assumptions in items (1) through (3) above are the most important to the determination of fair value.
	Broadcasting License Impairment Testing During The Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
	The Company completed its annual impairment test for broadcasting licenses and determined that the fair value of its broadcasting licenses was greater than the amount reflected in the balance sheet for each of the Company's markets and, accordingly, no impairment was recorded.
	The following table reflects the estimates and assumptions used in the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the second quarter of 2012, the date of the most recent prior impairment test:
		Estimates And Assumptions
		Second		Second
		Quarter		Quarter
		2013		2012
	Discount rate	9.80%		10.00%
	Operating profit margin ranges expected for average stations
	in the markets where the Company operates	25.0% to 41.0%		20.7% to 40.9%
	Long-term revenue growth rate range of the Company's markets	1.5% to 2.0%		1.5% to 2.0%
	The Company has made reasonable estimates and assumptions to calculate the fair value of its broadcasting licenses; however, these estimates and assumptions could be materially different from actual results.
	If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the industry or the Company, or if events occur or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of the Company's broadcasting licenses below the amount reflected in the balance sheet, the Company may be required to conduct an interim test and possibly recognize impairment charges, which may be material, in future periods.
	There were no events or circumstances since the second quarter of 2013 that indicated an interim review of broadcasting licenses was required.
	Broadcasting License Impairment Testing During The Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
	The Company completed its annual impairment test for broadcasting licenses and determined that the fair value of its broadcasting licenses in Boston was less than the amount reflected in the balance sheet.  The impairment was principally due to a change in the relative market share attributable to the different classes of broadcast license signals in the Boston market. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $22.3 million.
	The following table reflects the estimates and assumptions used in the second quarter of 2012 as compared to the second quarter of 2011, the date of the most recent prior impairment test
		Estimates And Assumptions

	Long-term revenue growth rate range of the Company's markets	1.5% to 2.0%		1.5% to 2.0%
	Broadcasting License Impairment Testing During The Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2011
	During the second quarter of 2011, the Company completed its annual impairment test for broadcasting licenses and determined that the fair value of its broadcasting licenses was in excess of the carrying value for each of the Company's markets and, accordingly, no impairment was recorded.
	The following table reflects the estimates and assumptions used in the second quarter of 2011 as compared to the second quarter of 2010, the date of the prior impairment test:

Long-term revenue growth rate range of the Company's markets	1.5% to 2.0%		1.5% to 2.0%
Goodwill Impairment Test
The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of each year by evaluating its goodwill for each reporting unit.
The Company has determined that a radio market is a reporting unit and, in total, the Company assesses goodwill at 19 separate reporting units (4 of the Company's 23 reporting units have no goodwill). If the fair value of any reporting unit is less than the amount reflected on the balance sheet, an indication exists that the amount of goodwill attributed to a reporting unit may be impaired, and the Company is required to perform a second step of the impairment test. In the second step, the Company compares the amount reflected on the balance sheet to the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill, determined by allocating the reporting unit's fair value to all of its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation.
To determine the fair value, the Company uses a market approach and, when appropriate, an income approach for each reporting unit. The market approach compares recent sales of similar broadcast radio stations. The income approach uses the subject property's income generated over a specified time and capitalized at an appropriate market rate to arrive at an indication of the most probable selling price.
In September 2011, the accounting guidance for how an entity tests goodwill for impairment was revised. The revised guidance allows an entity to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step quantitative goodwill impairment test. An entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines, based on a qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. This guidance was available but not used for the Company's annual goodwill testing.
Goodwill Impairment Testing During The Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2013
The results of step one indicated that it was not necessary to perform the second step analysis in any of the 19 reporting units that contained goodwill.
The Company also performed a reasonableness test on the fair value results for goodwill on a combined basis by comparing the amount to the Company's enterprise value based upon its stock price. The Company determined that the results were reasonable.
In step one of the Company's goodwill analysis, the Company considered the results of the market approach and the income approach in computing the fair value of the Company's reporting units. In the market approach, the Company applied an estimated market multiple to each reporting unit's operating profit to calculate the fair value. In the income approach, the Company utilized the discounted cash flow methodology to calculate the fair value of the reporting unit (the key estimates and assumptions are included in the table below). Management believes that these approaches are commonly used and appropriate methodologies for valuing broadcast radio stations. Factors contributing to the determination of the reporting unit's operating performance were historical performance and/or management's estimates of future performance.
The following table reflects certain key estimates and assumptions applied to each of the Company's markets that were used in the impairment test:
	Estimates And Assumptions
	Second		Second
	Quarter		Quarter
	2013		2012
Discount rate	9.80%		10.00%
Long-term revenue growth rate range of the Company's markets	1.5% to 2.0%		1.5% to 2.0%
Market multiple used in step one of the market valuation approach	7.5x to 8.0x		7.5x to 8.0x
During the second quarter testing, the results of step one indicated that it was not necessary to perform the second step analysis in any of the 19 reporting units that contained goodwill.
If actual market conditions are less favorable than those projected by the industry or the Company, or if events occur or circumstances change that would reduce the fair value of the Company's goodwill below the amount reflected in the balance sheet, the Company may be required to conduct an interim test and possibly recognize impairment charges, which could be material, in future periods.
There were no events or circumstances since the Company's second quarter annual goodwill test that required the Company to test the carrying value of its goodwill.
Goodwill Impairment Testing During The Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2012
The results of step one indicated that it was not necessary to perform the second step analysis in any of the markets tested, as the fair values for the goodwill in all of the Company's markets were in excess of the carrying values. As a result of the step one test, no impairment loss was recorded during the second quarter of 2012.
The Company also performed a reasonableness test on the fair value results for goodwill on a combined basis for the Company by comparing it to the enterprise value of the Company based upon the Company's stock price. The Company determined that the results were reasonable.
In step one of the Company's goodwill analysis, the Company considered the results of the market approach and the income approach, when appropriate, in computing the fair value of the Company's reporting units. In the market approach, the Company applied an estimated market multiple to each reporting unit's operating performance to calculate the fair value.

	Quarter		Quarter
	2012		2011
Discount rate	10.00%		10.00%
Long-term revenue growth rate range of the Company's markets	1.5% to 2.0%		1.5% to 2.0%
Market multiple used in step one of the market valuation approach	7.5x to 8.0x		7.5x to 8.0x
Goodwill Impairment Testing During The Second Quarter Ended June 30, 2011
The results of step one indicated that it was not necessary to perform the second step analysis in any of the markets tested, as the fair values for all of the Company's markets were above book value. As a result of the step one test, no impairment loss was recorded during the second quarter of 2011.
The Company also performed a reasonableness test on the fair value results for goodwill on a combined basis for the Company by comparing it to the enterprise value of the Company based upon the Company's stock price. The Company determined that the results were reasonable.
In step one of the Company's goodwill analysis, the Company considered the results of the market approach and the income approach, when appropriate, in computing the fair value of the Company's reporting units.

Market multiple used in step one of the market valuation approach	7.5x to 8.0x		7.5x to 8.0x
(B) Definite-Lived Intangibles
The Company has definite-lived intangible assets that consist of advertiser lists and customer relationships, and acquired advertising contracts. These assets are amortized over the period for which the assets are expected to contribute to the Company's future cash flows and are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, the Company reviewed the carrying value and the useful lives of these assets and determined they were appropriate.
See Note 5 for: (1) a listing of the assets comprising definite-lived assets, which are included in deferred charges and other assets on the balance sheets; (2) the amount of amortization expense for definite-lived assets; and (3) the Company's estimate of amortization expense for definite-lived assets in future periods.

	(A) Senior Debt
	The Credit Facility
	As of December 31, 2013, the amount outstanding under the term loan component (the “Term B Loan”) of the Company's senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) was $299.5 million. There was no amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility component (the “Revolver”) of the Company's Credit Facility. The maximum available amount of the Revolver, which includes the impact of an outstanding letter of credit, was $49.6 million as of December 31, 2013. The amount of the Revolver actually available to the Company is a function of covenant compliance at the time of borrowing.
	On November 23, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a $425 million Credit Facility that was comprised of: (a) a $50 million Revolver that matures on November 23, 2016; and (b) a $375 million Term B Loan that matures on November 23, 2018.
	The Company used the proceeds from the Revolver, the Term B Loan and the issuance of 10.5% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) to pay all of the outstanding debt under its former credit agreement (the “Former Facility”), along with transaction costs for both the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes. The Company expects it may use the Revolver to: (1) provide for working capital; and (2) provide for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and any or all of the following (subject to certain restrictions): repurchases of Class A common stock, repurchases of the Company's Senior Notes, dividends, investments and acquisitions. The Credit Facility is secured by a pledge of 100% of the capital stock and other equity interest in all of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries. In addition, the Credit Facility is secured by a lien on substantially all of the Company's assets, with limited exclusions (including the Company's real property). The assets securing the Credit Facility are subject to customary release provisions which would enable the Company to sell such assets free and clear of encumbrance, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.
	The Term B Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow, as defined within the agreement, subject to incremental step-downs to 0%, depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio. The Excess Cash Flow payment is due in the first quarter of each year and the amount of the payment is based on the Excess Cash Flow and Leverage Ratio for the prior year. The Company estimates that the Excess Cash Flow payment, which would be due in the first quarter of 2014, has been considered to be fully paid as the Company made sufficient pre-payments in 2013 using cash from operating activities.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company is in compliance with all financial covenants and all other terms of the Credit Facility in all material respects. The Company's ability to maintain compliance with its covenants is highly dependent on its results of operations. Management believes that over the next 12 months the Company can continue to maintain compliance. The Company's operating cash flow is positive, and management believes that it is adequate to fund the Company's operating needs and mandatory debt repayments under the Company's Credit Facility. Management believes that cash on hand and cash from operating activities, together with available borrowings under the Revolver, will be sufficient to permit the Company to meet its liquidity requirements over the next 12 months, including its debt repayments. As a result, the Company has not been required to rely upon, and the Company does not anticipate being required to rely upon, the Revolver to fund its operations.
	The Credit Facility requires the Company to maintain compliance with certain financial covenants which are defined terms within the agreement, including:
	a maximum Consolidated Leverage Ratio that cannot exceed 6.5 times as of December 31, 2013 and 5.5 times as of December 31, 2014, which decreases over time to 4.5 times as of March 31, 2016 and thereafter; and
	a minimum Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio of 1.6 times as of December 31, 2013 and 1.75 times as of December 31, 2014, which increases over time to 2.0 times as of September 30, 2015 and thereafter.
	On December 2, 2013 and on November 27, 2012, the Term B Loan was amended, with each amendment further reducing the interest rates. Under the December 2, 2013 amendment of the Term B Loan and depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Company may elect an interest rate per annum equal to: (1) the Eurodollar London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus fees of 3.00% (prior to the December 2, 2013 amendment, the interest rate ranged from LIBOR plus fees of 3.5% to 5.0%); and (2) the Base Rate plus fees of 2.00% (prior to the December 2, 2013 amendment, the interest rate ranged from the Base Rate plus fees of 2.5% to 4.0%). The Term B Loan includes a LIBOR floor of 1.00% (prior to the December 2, 2013 amendment, the LIBOR floor was 1.25%).
	Under the Revolver and depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Company may elect an interest rate per annum equal to: (1) LIBOR plus fees that can range from 4.5% to 5.0%; or (2) the Base Rate plus fees that can range from 3.5% to 4.0%, where the Base Rate is the highest of: (a) the administrative agent's prime rate; (b) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; and (c) LIBOR plus 1.0%. In addition, the Revolver requires the Company to pay a commitment fee of 0.5% per annum for the unused amount of the Revolver.
	Failure to comply with the Company's financial covenants or other terms of its Credit Facility and any subsequent failure to negotiate and obtain any required relief from its lenders could result in a default under the Company's Credit Facility. Any event of default could have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. In addition, a default under either the Company's Credit Facility or the indenture governing the Company's Senior Notes could cause a cross default in the other instrument and result in the acceleration of the maturity of all outstanding debt. Under these circumstances, the acceleration of the Company's debt could have a material adverse effect on its business. The Company may seek from time to time to amend its Credit Facility or obtain other funding or additional funding, which may result in higher interest rates.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company's Consolidated Leverage Ratio was 4.8 times versus a covenant limit of 6.5 times and the Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio was 2.7 times versus a covenant minimum of 1.6 times. These covenants become more restrictive over time.
	The Term B Loan amendment in December 2013 was reflected as a loan modification and the Company: (1) recorded deferred financing costs of $1.0 million (including the lender's legal costs) that will be amortized over the remaining life of the Term B Loan under the effective interest rate method; and (2) maintained unamortized deferred financing costs of $6.8 million that will continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the Term B Loan under the effective interest rate method. The Company did not record any loss on extinguishment of debt as all lenders participated at the same commitment level and agreed to the terms of the amendment. The Company also incurred third-party costs of less than $0.1 million, which were expensed.
	The Company treated the 2012 amendment under modification accounting and the Company: (1) recorded deferred financing costs of $1.1 million (including the lender's legal costs) that will be amortized over the remaining life of the Term B Loan under the effective interest rate method; and (2) maintained unamortized deferred financing costs of $9.0 million that will continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the Term B Loan under the effective interest rate method. The Company also recorded a loss on the extinguishment of debt of $0.7 million for those lenders who either participated at a reduced commitment level or for those lenders who did not agree to the terms of the amendment. The Company also incurred third-party costs of $0.1 million that were expensed.
	In connection with the debt refinancing during the fourth quarter of 2011, the Term B Loan was treated as new debt while the Revolver was treated as debt extinguishment and modification. As a result, unamortized deferred financing costs were adjusted as follows: (1) $0.3 million under the Former Facility's term loan were written off as a net loss on extinguishment of debt; (2) $0.8 million under the Former Facility's revolving credit were written off as a net loss on extinguishment of debt; and (3) $0.3 million of unamortized deferred financing costs under the Former Facility's revolving credit were deferred (to be amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the Revolver). In addition, the Company recorded new deferred financing costs of: (i) $12.8 million for the Term B Loan that will be amortized under the effective interest rate method over the term; and (ii) $1.2 million for the Revolver that will be amortized under the straight-line method over the term.
	The Company's Former Credit Agreement
	The Company's Former Facility consisted of: (1) a revolving credit facility of $650 million, of which $535.5 million was outstanding and paid in full as of the refinancing on November 23, 2011; and (2) a term loan of $400 million, of which $60.0 million was outstanding and paid in full as of the refinancing on November 23, 2011.
	Depending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio, the Company could elect an interest rate equal to: (1) the LIBOR Rate plus fees that ranged from 0.50% to 2.50%; or (2) the Base Rate plus fees that ranged from 0% to 1.5%, where the Base Rate was the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%; (b) the LIBOR Rate plus 1.0%; and (c) the Prime Rate.
	(B) Senior Unsecured Debt
	The Senior Notes
	Simultaneously with entering into the Credit Facility on November 23, 2011, the Company issued $220 million of 10.5% unsecured Senior Notes, which mature on December 1, 2019. The Company received net proceeds of $212.7 million, which included a discount of $2.9 million, and incurred deferred financing costs of $6.1 million. These amounts are amortized over the term under the effective interest rate method. Interest on the Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year
	The Senior Notes are in minimum denominations of $2,000. The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time on or after December 1, 2015 at a redemption price of 105.25% of principal amount plus accrued interest. The redemption price decreases to 102.625% of principal amount plus accrued interest on or after December 1, 2016 and 100% on or after December 1, 2017. The Senior Notes are unsecured and rank: (1) senior in right of payment to the Company's future subordinated debt; (2) equally in right of payment with all of the Company's existing and future senior debt; (3) effectively subordinated to the Company's existing and future secured debt (including the debt under the Company's Credit Facility), to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such debt; and (4) structurally subordinated to all of the liabilities of the Company's subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Senior Notes, to the extent of the assets of those subsidiaries.
	Financial statements of the subsidiaries are not included in accordance with Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X as: (1) Entercom Communications Corp. after excluding all subsidiaries (the “Parent Company”), has no independent assets or operations; (2) Entercom Radio, LLC (“Radio”) is a 100% owned finance subsidiary of the Parent Company; (3) the Parent Company has guaranteed the Credit Facility and Senior Notes; (4) all of the Parent Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries other than Radio have guaranteed the Credit Facility and Senior Notes; (5) all of the guarantees are full and unconditional (subject to the customary automatic release provisions); and (6) all of the guarantees are joint and several.
	Radio, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Parent Company, holds the ownership interest in various subsidiary companies that own the operating assets, including broadcasting licenses, permits, authorizations and cash royalties. Radio is the borrower under the Credit Facility and is the issuer of the Senior Notes. The assets securing both the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes are subject to customary release provisions which would enable the Company to sell such assets free and clear of encumbrance, subject to certain conditions and exceptions.
	Under certain covenants, the Company's subsidiary guarantors are restricted from paying dividends or distributions in excess of amounts defined under the Senior Notes, and the subsidiary guarantors are limited in their ability to incur additional indebtedness under certain restrictive covenants. See Note 20 for financial statements of parent.
	A default under the Company's Senior Notes could cause a default under the Company's Credit Facility. Any event of default, therefore, could have a material adverse effect on the Company's business and financial condition.
	(C) Net Interest Expense
	The components of net interest expense are as follows:
			Net Interest Expense
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
			(amounts in thousands)
	Interest expense		$	40,091		$	47,412		$	14,790
	Amortization of deferred financing costs			3,870			4,405			3,567
	Amortization of original issue discount of senior notes			274			246			25
	Interest expense on interest rate hedging agreements			0			1,392			6,568
	Interest income and other investment income			-3			-9			-31
	Total net interest expense		$	44,232		$	53,446		$	24,919
	The weighted average interest rate under the Credit Facility (before taking into account the fees on the unused portion of the Revolver) was: (1) 4.00% as of December 31, 2013; and (2) 5.01% as of December 31, 2012
	(D) Financing Method Lease Obligation
	In September 2009, the Company entered into an agreement to sell certain tower facilities and lease back most of these tower sites for use by the Company's radio stations. This transaction was accounted for under the financing method as described more fully under Note 8.
(E) Interest Rate Transactions
As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no derivative interest rate transactions outstanding.
The Company from time-to-time enters into interest rate transactions from time to time with different lenders to diversify its risk associated with interest rate fluctuations of its variable rate debt. See Note 9 for the accounting for these transactions. Under these transactions, the Company agrees with other parties (participating members of the Company's Credit Facility) to exchange, at specified intervals, the difference between fixed rate and floating rate interest amounts calculated by reference to an agreed notional principal amount against the variable debt.
The Company's credit exposure under these hedging agreements, or similar agreements the Company may enter into in the future, is the cost of replacing such agreements in the event of nonperformance by the Company's counterparty. For those interest rate transactions that may be entered into with the same counterparty, the Company will enter into a master netting agreement that would allow, under certain circumstances, the Company and the counterparty to settle financial assets and liabilities on a net basis.
(F) Aggregate Principal Maturities
The minimum aggregate principal maturities on the Company's outstanding debt (excluding any impact from required principal payments based upon the Company's future operating performance) are as follows:
	Principal Debt Maturities
	Credit			Senior
	Facility			Notes			Total
	(amounts in thousands)

(G) Outstanding Letters Of Credit
The Company is required to maintain a standby letter of credit, in connection with insurance coverage as described in Note 20.
(H) Guarantor and Non-Guarantor Financial Information
Radio, which is a wholly owned subsidiary of Entercom Communications Corp., holds the ownership interest in various subsidiary companies that own the operating assets, including broadcasting licenses, permits and authorizations. Radio (1) is the borrower under the Credit Facility, as described in Note 7(A); and (2) is the issuer of the Senior Notes, as described in Note 7(B). As of December 31, 2013, Entercom Communications Corp. and each direct and indirect subsidiary of Radio is a guarantor of Radio's obligations under both the Credit Facility and the Senior Notes.
Separate condensed consolidating financial information is not included as Entercom Communications Corp. does not have independent assets or operations, Radio is a 100% owned finance subsidiary of Entercom Communications Corp., and all guarantees by Entercom Communications Corp. and its guarantor subsidiaries are full, unconditional (subject to the customary automatic release provisions), joint and several under its Credit Facility and are full, unconditional, joint and several under its Senior Notes.
Under the Credit Facility, Radio is permitted to make distributions to Entercom Communications Corp. in amounts as defined, which are required to pay Entercom Communications Corp.'s reasonable overhead costs, including income taxes and other costs associated with conducting the operations of Radio and its subsidiaries.
Under the indenture governing the Senior Notes, Radio is permitted to make distributions to Entercom Communications Corp. in amounts, as defined, that are required to pay Entercom Communications Corp's overhead costs and other costs associated with conducting the operations of Radio and its subsidiaries.

TOWER SALE AND LEASEBACK (Block)	12 Months Ended

Tower Sale And Leaseback [Abstract]	'
Tower Sale And Leaseback [Text Block]	'
	8.       TOWER SALE AND LEASEBACK
	In 2009, the Company completed the sale of certain tower facilities for $12.6 million in cash. At the same time, the Company entered into leases for space on these towers for use by the Company's radio stations. The sale agreement included the opportunity for additional cash consideration for the Company through an earn-out which would be paid to the Company if the buyer met agreed upon revenue targets during the earn-out period. The earn-out constituted a continuing involvement by the Company that precluded sale and leaseback accounting until the earn-out period was complete. As a result of its continuing involvement in the tower facilities, the Company recorded a $12.6 million finance method lease obligation when the cash from the sale was received. On June 23, 2013, the earn-out period ended, and it was determined that the Company was not entitled to receive any additional compensation.
	With the earn-out complete, the Company applied the guidance under sale and leaseback accounting during the second quarter of 2013. As a result, the Company eliminated its finance method lease obligation of $12.6 million and recorded a current and deferred gain of $1.6 million and $9.9 million, respectively. Both the elimination of the finance method lease obligation and the recording of the gain were non-cash. The current gain is included in the statement of operations under net (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets. The deferred gain will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the remaining life of the lease, which was 16.5 years as of June 2013, and during this period the gain will be reflected as a net (gain) loss on sale or disposal of assets. As of December 31, 2013, the Company recorded on the balance sheet $0.6 million of deferred gain as a short-term liability under other current liabilities and $9.0 million of deferred gain as a long-term liability under other long-term liabilities. All of the leases were accounted for as operating leases.
	As background, in connection with the sale of the towers and the Company's continuing involvement as described above, the Company classified this transaction under the financing method as $12.6 million in finance method lease obligations. Under the financing method: (1) the assets and accumulated depreciation remained on the consolidated balance sheet and continued to be depreciated; (2) no gain was recognized for book purposes (the gain was recognized in 2009 for tax purposes); (3) proceeds of $12.6 million received by the Company from these transactions were recorded as a finance method lease liability; and (4) transaction costs of $0.2 million were recorded as deferred financing expense, which was amortized over 42 months.
	Payments under these leases over the partial lease term of 42 months were applied as payments of imputed interest at an approximate interest rate of 5.5%. The earn-out component of this transaction enabled the Company to participate in the upside potential of these sites as the new owner (whose primary business is managing tower sites) was better suited to maximize the value of these sites through new third-party tenants.
	Minimum rental commitments at December 31, 2013 for these non-cancellable leases are included within the operating lease commitment table under Note 20
	The following table presents property and equipment held under financing method leases, by major category, which represented components of property and equipment included in the balance sheet under property and equipment for the period presented:

Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure Abstract	'
Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities Disclosure Text Block	'
	9.       DERIVATIVE AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
	The Company from time to time enters into derivative financial instruments, including interest rate exchange agreements (“Swaps”) and interest rate collar agreements (“Collars”), to manage its exposure to fluctuations in interest rates under the Company's variable rate debt.
	As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, there were no derivative interest rate transactions outstanding.
	Accounting For Derivative Instruments And Hedging Activities
	The Company recognizes at fair value all derivatives, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, in the balance sheet as either net assets or net liabilities. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, depends on the intended use of the derivative and the resulting designation. If the derivative is designated as a fair value hedge, the changes in the fair value of the derivative and the hedged item are recognized in the statement of operations. If the derivative is designated as a cash flow hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recorded in other comprehensive income and are recognized in the statement of operations when the hedged item affects net income. If a derivative does not qualify as a hedge, it is marked to fair value through the statement of operations. Any fees associated with these derivatives are amortized over their term. Under these derivatives, the differentials to be received or paid are recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the life of the contract. In the event the cash flow hedges are terminated early, any amount previously included in comprehensive income (loss) would be reclassified as interest expense to the statement of operations as the forecasted transaction settles.
	The Company formally documents all relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as its risk-management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. This process includes ongoing effectiveness assessments by relating all derivatives that are designated as fair value or cash flow hedges to specific assets and liabilities on the balance sheet or to specific firm commitments or forecasted transactions. The Company's derivative activities, all of which are for purposes other than trading, are initiated within the guidelines of corporate risk-management policies. The Company reviews the correlation and effectiveness of its derivatives on a periodic basis.
	The fair value of these derivatives is determined using observable market based inputs (a Level 2 measurement, as described in Note 17) and the impact of credit risk on a derivative's fair value (the creditworthiness of the Company's counterparty for assets and the creditworthiness of the Company for liabilities).
	During the period of an interest rate hedging agreement, the outstanding amount of the Company's variable rate debt is expected to be greater than the notional amount of the derivative rate hedging transactions. These transactions are typically tied to LIBOR. Under a fixed rate swap, the Company pays a fixed rate on a notional amount to the counterparty, and the counterparty pays to the Company a variable rate on the notional amount equal to LIBOR. A Collar establishes two separate agreements: an upper limit equal to LIBOR, or cap, and a lower limit equal to LIBOR, or floor.

	Non-Hedge Accounting Treatment
	For the following hedge, the Company recognized non-hedge accounting treatment for the period from November 23, 2011 through May 28, 2012 (the Company received hedge accounting treatment prior to November 23, 2011). In connection with the refinancing on November 23, 2011, this hedge, which was not terminated, no longer received hedge accounting treatment as the hedge was not effective due to the refinancing. As a result, the Company reclassified, as of November 23, 2011, all amounts remaining in accumulated other comprehensive income to the statement of operations.

	Conversion Of Class B Common Stock
	Shares of Class B common stock are transferable only to Joseph M. Field, David J. Field, certain of their family members, their estates or trusts for any of their benefit. Upon any other transfer, shares of Class B common stock automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis.
	During the year ended 2011, Joseph M. Field contributed to charitable entities 170,000 Class B shares. Upon the transfer of these shares, they were automatically converted to shares of Class A common stock.
	Dividends
	The Company does not currently pay and has not paid dividends on its common stock since 2008. Any future dividends will be at the discretion of the Board of Directors based upon the relevant factors at the time of such consideration, including, without limitation, compliance with the restrictions set forth in the Credit Facility.
	Under the Credit Facility, the Company has $40 million available for dividends, share repurchases, investments and debt repurchases, which can be used when its pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 6.0 times (or the maximum permitted at the time if lower). The amount available can increase over time based upon the Company's financial performance and the incremental amount in excess of $40 million can be used when its pro forma Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.0 times (or the maximum permitted at the time if lower). There are certain other limitations that apply to its use.
	Dividend Equivalents
	The Company's grants of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) include the right, upon vesting, to receive a cash payment equal to the aggregate amount of dividends, if any, that holders would have received on the shares of common stock underlying their RSUs if such RSUs had been vested during the period.

	Upon vesting of RSUs, a tax obligation is created for both the employer and the employee. Unless employees elect to pay their tax withholding obligations in cash, the Company withholds shares of stock in an amount sufficient to cover their tax withholding obligations. The withholding of these shares by the Company is deemed to be a repurchase of its stock.

	Equity Compensation Plan
	Under the Entercom Equity Compensation Plan (the “Plan”), the Company is authorized to issue share-based compensation awards to key employees, directors and consultants. The RSUs and options that have been issued generally vest over periods of up to four years. The options expire ten years from the date of grant. The Company issues new shares of Class A common stock upon the exercise of stock options and the later of vesting or issuance of RSUs.
	On January 1 of each year, the number of shares of Class A common stock authorized under the Plan is automatically increased by 1.5 million, or a lesser number as may be determined by the Company's Board of Directors. On January 1 2014, the Board of Directors elected to forego an increase in the shares available for grant. As of January 1, 2014, the shares available for grant were 3.9 million shares.
	The Plan includes certain performance criteria for purposes of satisfying expense deduction requirements for income tax purposes.
	Accounting For Share-Based Compensation
	The measurement and recognition of compensation expense, for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, is based on estimated fair values. The fair value is determined at the time of grant: (1) using the Company's stock price for RSUs; and (2) using the Black Scholes model for options. The value of the portion of the award that is ultimately expected to vest is recognized as expense over the requisite service periods in the Company's consolidated statements of operations. Estimated forfeitures are revised, if necessary, in subsequent periods if actual forfeitures differ from those estimates.

	RSUs With Service And Market Conditions
	During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company issued RSUs with service and market conditions where these shares vest upon the performance of the Company's stock over a defined measurement period. The market condition allows for vesting of portions of the award if certain shareholder performance targets are met. The compensation expense is recognized even if the market conditions are not satisfied and are only reversed in the event the service period is not fulfilled.

Valuation Of Options
The Company estimates the fair value of option awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model. The Company used the straight-line single option method for recognizing compensation expense, which was reduced for estimated forfeitures based on awards ultimately expected to vest. The Company's determination of the fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant using an option-pricing model is affected by the Company's stock price, as well as assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. These variables include, but are not limited to, the Company's expected stock price volatility over the term of the awards, and actual and projected employee stock option exercise behaviors. Option-pricing models were developed for use in estimating the value of traded options that have no vesting or hedging restrictions and are fully transferable. The Company's stock options have certain characteristics that are different from traded options, and changes in the subjective assumptions could affect the estimated value.
For options granted, the Company used the Black-Scholes option-pricing model and determined: (1) the term by using the simplified plain-vanilla method as the Company's employee exercise history may not be indicative for estimating future exercises; (2) a historical volatility over a period commensurate with the expected term, with the observation of the volatility on a daily basis; (3) a risk-free interest rate that was consistent with the expected term of the stock options and based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant; and (4) an annual dividend yield based upon the Company's most recent quarterly dividend at the time of grant.
The fair value of each option grant, using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, was estimated on the date of each grant. The following table presents the range of the assumptions used to determine the fair value over the periods indicated:

	12.       NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE
	Net income per common share is calculated as basic net income per share and diluted net income per share. Basic net income per share excludes dilution and is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per share is computed in the same manner as basic net income after assuming issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent shares, which includes the potential dilution that could occur: (1) if the RSUs with service conditions were fully vested (using the treasury stock method); (2) if all of the Company's outstanding stock options that are in-the-money were exercised (using the treasury stock method); and (3) if the RSUs with service and market conditions were considered contingently issuable.
	The Company considered the allocation of undistributed net income for multiple classes of common stock and determined that it was appropriate to allocate undistributed net income between the Company's Class A and Class B common stock on an equal basis. For purposes of making this determination, the Company's charter provides that the holders of Class A and Class B common stock have equal rights and privileges except with respect to voting on most matters voted by Joseph Field or David Field.
	For the periods indicated, the following tables present the computations of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share:

	13.       INCOME TAXES
	Effective Tax Rate - Overview
	The Company's effective income tax rate may be impacted by: (1) changes in the level of income in any of the Company's taxing jurisdictions; (2) changes in the statutes and rules applicable to taxable income in the jurisdictions in which the Company operates; (3) changes in the expected outcome of income tax audits; (4) changes in the estimate of expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes; (5) income taxes in certain states where the states' current taxable income is dependent on factors other than the Company's consolidated net income; and (6) adding facilities in states that on average have different income tax rates from states in which the Company currently operates and the resulting effect on previously reported temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities. The Company's annual effective tax rate may also be materially impacted by tax expense associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill and changes in the deferred tax valuation allowance.
	An impairment loss for financial statement purposes will result in an income tax benefit during the period incurred as the amortization of broadcasting licenses and goodwill is deductible for income tax purposes.
	Expected And Reported Income Taxes (Benefit)
	Income tax expense (benefit) computed using the United States federal statutory rates is reconciled to the reported income tax expense (benefit) as follows:
				Years Ended December 31,
					2013		2012			2011
					(amounts in thousands)

	Income taxes (benefit)			$	22,476		$	12,474		$	-18,988
	For The Year Ended December 31, 2013
	The effective income tax rate was 46.3%. This rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the combination of: (1) an increase in net deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill; and (2) an adjustment for expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. In addition, the effective tax rate increased due to a tax benefit shortfall associated with share-based awards.
	For the Year Ended December 31, 2012
	The effective income tax rate was 52.5%. This rate was higher than the federal statutory rate of 35% primarily due to the combination of: (1) a reduction in income before income taxes as a result of the impairment loss of $22.3 million recorded in the second quarter of 2012; (2) an increase in net deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill; and (3) an adjustment for expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. The rate was reduced by a tax benefit associated with a reduction in liabilities for uncertain tax positions due to the expiration of the statute of limitations in certain jurisdictions.
	For the Year Ended December 31, 2011
	The effective income tax rate was 36.5%. The difference between the federal statutory rate of 35% and the effective tax rate was primarily due to a reversal of the full valuation allowance against the Company's deferred tax assets for the reasons as described below under Valuation Allowance For Deferred Tax Assets.
	Income Tax Expense
	Income tax expense (benefit) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 is summarized as follows:

	Total income taxes (benefit)					$	22,476		$	12,474		$	-18,988
	Deferred Tax Assets And Deferred Tax Liabilities
	The income tax accounting process to determine the Company's deferred tax assets and liabilities involves estimating all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities based on tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the period in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. These estimates include assessing the likely future tax consequences of events that have been recognized in the Company's financial statements or tax returns. Changes to these estimates could have a future impact on the Company's financial position or results of operations.
	The tax effects of significant temporary differences that comprise the net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

Valuation Allowance For Deferred Tax Assets
Judgment is required in estimating valuation allowances for deferred tax assets. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if an assessment of their components indicates that it is more likely than not that all or some portion of these assets will not be realized. The realization of a deferred tax asset ultimately depends on the existence of sufficient taxable income in the carryforward periods under tax law. The Company periodically assesses the need for valuation allowances for deferred tax assets based on more-likely-than-not realization threshold criteria. In the Company's assessment, appropriate consideration is given to all positive and negative evidence related to the realization of the deferred tax assets. This assessment considers, among other matters, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carryforward periods, the Company's experience with operating loss carryforwards not expiring unused and any ownership change limitations under Internal Revenue Code Section 382 on the Company's future income that can be used to offset historic losses.
In 2011, management determined that, on a more likely than not realization basis, a full valuation allowance was no longer required. Contributing to management's assessment were sufficient positive indicators such as, but not limited to, the then present economic conditions (as compared to the economic conditions when the valuation allowance was established), recent profitability, management's expectation of future profitability, including available future taxable income under the current tax law to realize all of the tax benefits for deductible temporary differences and carryforwards. In addition, the Company does not have a history of its federal and certain state net operating loss carryforwards expiring unused. The deferred tax asset valuation allowance was initially established in 2008 as the Company was impacted by the economic downturn during this period which resulted in impairments to the Company's broadcast licenses and goodwill in 2007 and 2008. These impairment losses impacted the Company's three-year cumulative income.
As changes occur in the Company's assessments regarding its ability to recover its deferred tax assets, the Company's tax provision is increased in any period in which the Company determines that the recovery is not probable.
The following table presents the changes in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for the periods indicated:

Liabilities For Uncertain Tax Positions
The Company recognizes liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on whether evidence indicates that it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained on audit. It is inherently difficult and subjective to estimate such amounts, as this requires the Company to estimate the probability of various possible outcomes. The Company reevaluates these uncertain tax positions on a quarterly basis. Changes in assumptions may result in the recognition of a tax benefit or an additional charge to the tax provision.
The Company classifies interest related to income tax liabilities as income tax expense, and penalties are recognized as a component of income tax expense. The income tax liabilities and accrued interest and penalties are presented as non-current liabilities, as payments are not anticipated within one year of the balance sheet date. These non-current income tax liabilities are recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company's liabilities for uncertain tax positions are reflected in the following table:
			December 31,
			2013			2012
			(amounts in thousands)
Liabilities for uncertain tax positions
	Tax		$	67		$	67
	Interest and penalties			132			121
	Total		$	199		$	188
The amounts for interest and penalties expense reflected in the statements of operations were eliminated in the statements of cash flows under net deferred taxes (benefit) and other as no cash payments were made during these periods.
The following table presents the expense (income) for uncertain tax positions, which amounts were reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as an increase (decrease) to income tax expense:
		Years Ended December 31,
		2013			2012			2011

Interest and penalties (income)			11			-309			-717
Total income taxes (benefit)
from uncertain tax positions		$	11		$	-926		$	-1,707
The increase in liabilities for uncertain tax positions for the year ended December 31, 2013 primarily reflects the addition of interest related to existing uncertain tax positions.
For those years with a decrease, the liabilities for uncertain tax positions primarily reflect the expiration of statutes of limitation for certain tax jurisdictions.
The following table presents the gross amount of changes in unrecognized tax benefits for the periods indicated:
			Years Ended December 31,

Ending liability balance included above that was
	reflected as an offset to deferred tax assets		$	-7,623		$	-7,623		$	-7,495
The gross amount of the Company's unrecognized tax benefits is reflected in the above table which, if recognized, would impact the Company's effective income tax rate in the period of recognition. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase or decrease within the next 12 months for a number of reasons including the expiration of statutes of limitations, audit settlements and tax examination activities.
As of December 31, 2013, there were no unrecognized net tax benefits (exclusive of interest and penalties) that over the next 12 months are subject to the expiration of various statutes of limitation. Interest and penalties accrued on uncertain tax positions are released upon the expiration of statutes of limitations.
Federal And State Income Tax Audits
The Company is subject to federal and state income tax audits from time to time that could result in proposed assessments. Management believes that the Company has made sufficient tax provisions for tax periods that are within the statutory period of limitations not previously audited and that are potentially open for examination by the taxing authorities. Potential liabilities associated with these years will be resolved when an event occurs to warrant closure, primarily through the completion of audits by the taxing jurisdictions, or if the statute of limitations expires. To the extent audits or other events result in a material adjustment to the accrued estimates, the effect would be recognized during the period of the event. There can be no assurance, however, that the ultimate outcome of audits will not have a material adverse impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
The Company cannot predict with certainty how these audits will be resolved and whether the Company will be required to make additional tax payments, which may include penalties and interest. During the fourth quarter of 2010, the Company concluded an audit by the IRS with no proposed adjustment for the tax years of 2004 through 2008. For most states where the Company conducts business, the Company is subject to examination for the preceding three to six years. In certain states, the period could be longer.
Income Tax Payments And Refunds
The following table provides the amount of income tax payments and income tax refunds for the periods indicated:
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
			(amounts in thousands)
State income tax payments			$	69		$	99		$	82
Federal and state income tax refunds (1)			$	5		$	256		$	492
(1)       The tax refunds in 2011 were primarily comprised of refunds resulting from federal tax legislation during the fourth quarter of 2009 that allowed the Company to carryback its 2008 net operating loss for five years rather than for two years.
Net Operating Loss Carryforwards
The Company reversed a full valuation allowance against its deferred tax assets during 2011. The Company has recorded a valuation allowance, however, for certain of its state net operating loss carryforwards (“NOLs”) as the Company does not expect to obtain a benefit in future periods. Utilization in future years of the NOL carryforwards may be subject to limitations due to the changes in ownership provisions under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.
Windfall tax benefits will be recognized for book purposes and recorded to paid-in capital only when realized. The Company does not recognize a deferred tax asset for unrealized tax benefits associated with the tax deductions in excess of the compensation recorded (excess tax benefit). The Company applies the “with and without” approach for utilization of tax attributes upon realization of NOLs in the future. This method allocates stock-based compensation benefits last among other tax benefits recognized. The NOLs reflected in the following table exclude these windfall stock compensation deductions.
		Net Operating Losses

17.       FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments Subject To Fair Value Measurements

The Company has determined the types of financial assets and liabilities subject to fair value measurement are: (1) certain tangible and intangible assets subject to impairment testing as described in Note 4; (2) deemed deferred compensation plans as described in Note 16; (3) financial instruments as described in Note 7; (4) lease abandonment liabilities; (5) interest rate derivative transactions as described under Note 9; and (6) investments in cash equivalents.

The fair value is the price that would be received upon the sale of an asset or be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (exit price). The Company utilizes market data or assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent to the inputs of the valuation technique. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable. The Company utilizes valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy assigns the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement).

The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical assets or liabilities as of the reporting date.

Level 2 – Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets included in Level 1, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reported date.

Level 3 – Pricing inputs include significant inputs that are generally less observable than objective sources. These inputs may be used with internally developed methodologies that result in management's best estimate of fair value. At each balance sheet date, the Company performs an analysis of all instruments and includes in Level 3 all of those whose fair value is based on significant unobservable inputs.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following tables set forth the Company's financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. The financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels.

(1)       The Company's deferred compensation liability, which is included in other long-term liabilities, is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The unfunded plan allows participants to hypothetically invest in various specified investment options. The deferred compensation plan liability is valued based on quoted market prices of the underlying investments. The Company classifies its non-qualified deferred compensation plan liability as Level 1.

(2)       Cash equivalents, which are included under current assets as cash and cash equivalents, are invested in institutional money market funds. This investment is considered a Level 1 measurement, using quoted prices in active markets for identical investments.

(3)        The Company's lease abandonment liability is recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company uses Level 2 inputs for its valuation methodology, as the fair value of the underlying lease is based on expected future cash flows which are adjusted for a nonperformance risk by the Company. The Company reflects the short-term lease abandonment liability under current liabilities and long-term lease abandonment liability under other long-term liabilities.

Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company has certain assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values are more than the fair values. The categorization of the framework used to price the assets is considered Level 3, due to the subjective nature of the unobservable inputs used to determine the fair value.

For The Years Ended December 31, 2013 And 2011

The Company reviewed the fair value of its broadcasting licenses, goodwill and net property and equipment and other intangibles, and concluded that these assets were not impaired as the fair value of these assets equaled or exceeded their carrying values.

For The Year Ended December 31, 2012

Included in the following table are the major categories of assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis along with the fair value measurement of the impairment loss recognized:

Fair Value Of Financial Instruments Subject To Disclosures

The estimated fair value of financial instruments is determined using the best available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies. Considerable judgment is necessary, however, in interpreting market data to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange, or the value that ultimately will be realized upon maturity or disposition. The use of different market assumptions may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts.

The carrying amount of the following assets and liabilities approximates fair value due to the short maturity of these instruments: (1) cash and cash equivalents (other than the cash equivalents separately identified under this Note as a Level 1 measurement); (2) accounts receivable; and (3) accounts payable, including accrued liabilities.

The following table presents the carrying value of financial instruments and, where practicable, the fair value as of the periods indicated:

(1)       The Company's determination of the fair value of the Credit Facility was based on quoted prices for similar instruments and is considered a Level 2 measurement.

(2)       The Company utilizes a Level 2 valuation input based upon the market trading prices of the Senior Notes to compute the fair value as these Senior Notes are traded in the debt securities market.

(3)        The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair value of the finance method lease obligation. This transaction was completed during the second quarter of 2013 and fully written off.

(4)       The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair value of the outstanding standby letter of credit and does not expect any material loss since the performance of the letter of credit is not likely to be required.

	Land Assets Held For Sale
	Long-lived assets to be sold are classified as held for sale in the period in which they meet all the criteria for the disposal of long-lived assets. In the second quarter of 2013, management determined that it had met all of the criteria to reflect certain land it no longer used as held for sale. As of December 31, 2013, the Company classified land in the amount of $2.1 million as assets held for sale. The land formerly served as a transmitter site in one of the Company's markets.
	Impairment Of Assets Held For Sale
	Long-lived assets considered held for sale are stated at the lower of carrying value or fair value less the cost to sell. Long-lived assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. In the second quarter of 2013, the Company determined that the carrying value of land it was holding for sale was in excess of the fair value less the cost to sell. The Level 3 fair value measurement was determined using a third party's offer as representative of the fair value. The third party's offer was accepted by the Company in early July 2013. As a result, the Company recorded an impairment of $0.9 million during the second quarter of 2013.

	The Company consummated acquisitions of radio stations under the purchase method of accounting, and the purchase price was allocated to the assets based upon their respective fair values as determined as of the purchase date. The purchase price for acquisitions consummated subsequent to 2008 excludes transaction costs.
	Acquisitions For The Year Ended December 31, 2013
	There were no acquisitions during the current year.
	Acquisition For The Year Ended December 31, 2012
	San Francisco, California
	On June 28, 2012, the Company acquired the assets of KBLX-FM, a radio station in the San Francisco, California, market for a purchase price of $25.0 million in cash, of which $7.0 million was paid from cash available from operating cash flow and $18.0 was borrowed under the Company's Revolver. The Company commenced operations under a TBA effective May 1, 2012.
	In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $0.2 million, which is fully deductible for tax purposes, and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the form of broadcasting licenses of $24.8 million. The acquisition of this station was not material to the Company's results of operations for any of the periods presented herein.
	Including this acquisition, the Company owns four radio stations in the San Francisco market and one station in the San Jose market. Management believes that the addition of KBLX-FM to the Company's cluster of existing stations in this market will allow the Company to compete more effectively by sharing certain synergies in sales, programming and administration.
	Acquisition For The Year Ended December 31, 2011
	San Jose, California
	On February 28, 2011, the Company acquired the assets of KUFX-FM, a radio station in the San Jose, California, market for $9.0 million in cash, of which $1.4 million was paid as a deposit in December 2010. The source of the funds used to complete this transaction was as follows: (1) $7.6 million from funds borrowed under the Company's Former Facility; and (2) $1.4 million related to the December 2010 deposit from funds available from operating cash flow. In December 2010, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement and a TBA under which the Company commenced operations on January 19, 2011. In connection with this acquisition, the Company recorded goodwill of $0.7 million, which is fully deductible for tax purposes, and indefinite-lived intangible assets in the form of broadcasting licenses of $8.1 million. The acquisition of this station was not material to the Company's results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2011.
	Other
	Acquired Unfavorable Lease Liability
	In connection with the acquisition of KUFX-FM, the Company acquired an unfavorable lease for studio space in San Jose, California, with lease terms significantly above market. The unfavorable lease liability was recorded in other liabilities and has a remaining life of approximately 7.5 years as of the acquisition date. The unfavorable lease liability is amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease.
	Merger Costs
	During the first quarter of 2011, the Company incurred legal and advisory expenses of $0.8 million associated with its unsuccessful effort to acquire a large radio group operator. These expenses are reflected as merger and acquisition costs in the consolidated statements of operations.
	Acquisition Related Lease Abandonment Costs
	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company entered into a sublease for previously abandoned studio space. As a result, the Company eliminated a lease abandonment liability of $0.7 million and recorded a reduction to station operating expenses of $0.6 million, net of broker's commission.
	As background, in connection with the Company's acquisition on February 28, 2011 of KUFX-FM, San Jose, California, a lease was assumed for surplus studio space. The Company recorded a lease abandonment expense of $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2011. Lease abandonment costs include lease liabilities offset by estimated sublease income. Due to soft rental conditions at the time of the acquisition, including a higher than normal vacancy rate that was expected to continue throughout the remaining term of the lease, the Company did not include an estimate to sublease any of the space. The lease abandonment liability was discounted using a credit risk adjusted basis utilizing the estimated rental cash flows over the remaining term of the agreement. The lease expires during the third quarter of 2018.

Management anticipates that any potential liability of the Company, which may arise out of or with respect to these matters, will not materially affect the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
	Insurance
	The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to mitigate the potential liabilities for workers' compensation, general liability, property, directors' and officers' liability, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are estimated, in part, by considering claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, outside expertise and other actuarial assumptions. Under one of these policies, the Company is required to maintain a letter of credit in the amount of $0.4 million.
	Broadcast Licenses
	The Company could face increased costs in the form of fines and a greater risk that the Company could lose any one or more of its broadcasting licenses if the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) concludes that programming broadcast by a Company station was obscene, indecent or profane and such conduct warrants license revocation.  The FCC's authority to impose a fine for the broadcast of such material is $325,000 for a single incident, with a maximum fine of up to $3,000,000 for a continuing violation. In the past, the FCC has issued Notices of Apparent Liability and a Forfeiture Order with respect to several of the Company's stations proposing fines for certain programming which the FCC deemed to have been indecent. These cases are the subject of pending administrative appeals. The FCC has also investigated other complaints from the public that some of the Company's stations broadcast indecent programming. These investigations remain pending.  The FCC initiated an investigation into an incident where a person died after participating in a contest at one of the Company's stations and this investigation remains pending. The Company has determined that, at this time, the amount of potential fines and penalties, if any, is not fixed or determinable.
	The Company has filed, on a timely basis, renewal applications for those radio stations with radio broadcasting licenses that are subject to renewal with the FCC. The Company's costs to renew its licenses with the FCC are nominal and are expensed as incurred rather than capitalized. Certain licenses were not renewed prior to the renewal date. The Company continues to operate these radio stations under their existing licenses until the licenses are renewed. The FCC may delay the renewal pending the resolution of open inquiries. The affected stations are, however, authorized to continue operations until the FCC acts upon the renewal applications.
	Commitments
	Leases And Other Contracts
	Rental expense is incurred principally for office and broadcasting facilities. Certain of the leases contain clauses that provide for contingent rental expense based upon defined events such as cost of living adjustments and/or maintenance costs in excess of pre-defined amounts. For the period prior to July 1, 2013, rental expense does not include any payments made in connection with financing method lease obligations as described under Note 8, Tower Sale And Leaseback.
	The following table provides the Company's rent expense for the periods indicated:
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
			(amounts in thousands)
	Rent Expense		$	13,226		$	12,748		$	12,719
	The Company also has various commitments under the following types of contracts: (1) operating leases; (2) sports programming; (3) on-air talent; and (4) other contracts with aggregate minimum annual commitments as of December 31, 2013 as follows:

		$	96,481		$	194,606		$	291,087
	Guarantor Arrangements
	The Company recognizes, at the inception of a guarantee, a liability for the fair value of the obligation undertaken by issuing the guarantee. The following is a summary of agreements that the Company has determined are within the scope of guarantor arrangements:
	The Company enters into indemnification agreements in the ordinary course of business. Under these agreements, the Company typically indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited. The Company believes that the estimated fair value of these agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded liabilities for these agreements as of December 31, 2013.
	Under the Company's Credit Facility, the Company is required to reimburse lenders for any increased costs that they may incur in the event of a change in law, rule or regulation resulting in their reduced returns from any change in capital requirements. The Company cannot estimate the potential amount of any future payment under this provision, nor can the Company predict if such an event will ever occur.
	In connection with many of the Company's acquisitions, the Company enters into time brokerage agreements or local marketing agreements for specified periods of time, usually six months or less, whereby the Company typically indemnifies the owner and operator of the radio station, their employees, agents and contractors from liability, claims and damages arising from the activities of operating the radio station under such agreements. The maximum potential amount of any future payments the Company could be required to make for any such previous indemnification obligations is indeterminable at this time. The Company has not, however, previously incurred any significant costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to any such indemnification obligation.
	Financial Statements Of Parent
	The condensed financial data of the Parent Company has been prepared in accordance with Rule 12-04 of Regulation S-X. The Parent Company's financial data includes the financial data of Entercom Communications Corp., excluding all subsidiaries.
	The most significant restrictions on the payment of dividends by Radio (as contemplated by Rule 4-08(e) of Regulation S-X) are set forth in the Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes.
	Under both the Credit Facility and the indenture governing the Senior Notes, Radio is permitted to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts, as defined, as follow: (a) amounts which are required to pay the Parent Company's reasonable overhead costs, including income taxes and other costs associated with conducting the operations of Radio and its subsidiaries; and (b) certain amounts which qualify as “Restricted Payments.” With respect to the Credit Facility, the permitted Restricted Payment is generally $40 million plus Cumulative Retained Excess Cash Flow. The Company's ability to make a Restricted Payment in these amounts under the Credit Facility is a function of its leverage ratio. With respect to the indenture governing the Senior Notes, the permitted Restricted Payment is generally $60 million plus a variable amount. The variable amount is a function of the Company's EBITDA and the Company's leverage ratio.
	Effectively all of Radio's assets are subject to these distribution limitations to Parent.
	The following tables set forth the condensed financial data (other than the statements of shareholders' equity and statements of comprehensive income as these statements are not condensed) of the Parent Company:
	the balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012;
	the statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011;
	the statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011;
	the statements of shareholders' equity for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011; and
	the statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011.

	The following table presents unaudited operating results for each quarter within the two most recent years. The Company believes that all necessary adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, have been included in the amounts stated below to present fairly the following quarterly results when read in conjunction with the financial statements included elsewhere in this report. Results of operations for any particular quarter are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for a full year. The Company's financial results are also not comparable from quarter to quarter due to: (1) the seasonality of revenues, with revenues usually the lowest in the first quarter of each year; (2) the modifications to the Company's Credit Facility during the fourth quarters of 2012 and 2013 that reduced interest rates on outstanding debt resulting in a decrease to interest expense, as described in Note 7, Long-Term Debt; (3) the impairment of broadcast licenses recorded in the second quarter of 2012; and (4) the Company's acquisition of a radio station as described in Note 19, Acquisitions And Other.

	During the second quarter of 2012, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $22.3 million as a result of a write-down in the carrying value of the broadcasting licenses in its Boston market.

SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNTING_POLICIE1

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
Accounting Policies Abstract	'
Principles Of Consolidation	'
	Principles Of Consolidation – The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries, all of which are 100% owned by the Company. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company also considers the applicability of any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that are required to be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. From time to time, the Company may enter into a time brokerage agreement (“TBA”) in connection with the pending acquisition or disposition of radio stations and the requirement to consolidate a VIE may apply, depending on the facts and circumstances related to each transaction. As of December 31, 2013, the consolidation requirements as a VIE (see Note 20, Contingencies, Guarantor Arrangements And Commitments) did not apply as there were no pending transactions.
Reportable Segment	'
	Reportable Segment - The Company operates under one reportable business segment, radio broadcasting, for which segment disclosure is consistent with the management decision-making process that determines the allocation of resources and the measuring of performance. Radio stations serving the same geographic area, which may be comprised of a city or combination of cities, are referred to as markets or as distinct operating segments. The Company has 23 operating segments. These operating segments are aggregated to create one reportable segment.
Management's Use Of Estimates	'
	Management's Use Of Estimates – The preparation of consolidated financial statements, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) asset impairments, including broadcasting licenses and goodwill; (2) income tax valuation allowances; (3) uncertain tax positions; (4) allowance for doubtful accounts; (5) self-insurance reserves; (6) fair value of equity awards; (7) estimated lives for tangible and intangible assets; (8) fair value measurements for financial instruments such as interest rate hedging transactions; and (9) contingency and litigation reserves. The Company's accounting estimates require the use of judgment as future events and the effect of these events cannot be predicted with certainty. The accounting estimates may change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired and as more information is obtained. The Company evaluates and updates assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis and may use outside experts to assist in the Company's evaluation, as considered necessary. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Income Taxes	'
	Income Taxes – The Company applies the liability method to the accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred income taxes are recognized for all temporary differences between the tax and financial reporting bases of the Company's assets and liabilities based on enacted tax laws and statutory tax rates applicable to the periods in which the differences are expected to affect taxable income. A valuation allowance is recorded for a net deferred tax asset balance when it is more likely than not that the benefits of the tax asset will not be realized. The Company reviews on a continuing basis the need for a deferred tax asset valuation allowance in the jurisdictions in which it operates. Any adjustment to the deferred tax asset valuation allowance is recorded in the consolidated statements of operations in the period that such an adjustment is required.
	The Company applies the guidance for income taxes and intra-period allocation to the recognition of uncertain tax positions. This guidance clarifies the recognition, de-recognition and measurement in financial statements of income tax positions taken in previously filed tax returns or tax positions expected to be taken in tax returns, including a decision whether to file or not to file in a particular jurisdiction. The guidance requires that any liability created for unrecognized tax benefits is disclosed. The application of this guidance may also affect the tax bases of assets and liabilities and therefore may change or create deferred tax liabilities or assets. This guidance also clarifies the method to allocate income taxes (benefit) to the different components of income (loss), such as: (1) income (loss) from continuing operations; (2) income (loss) from discontinued operations; (3) extraordinary items; (4) other comprehensive income (loss); (5) the cumulative effects of accounting changes; and (6) other charges or credits recorded directly to shareholders' equity. See Note 13 for a further discussion of income taxes.
Property And Equipment	'
	Property And Equipment – Property and equipment are carried at cost. Major additions or improvements are capitalized, including interest expense when material, while repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Upon sale or retirement, the related cost and accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts, and any gain or loss is recognized in the statement of operations.
	Depreciation expense on property and equipment is determined on a straight-line basis.
	Depreciation expense for property and equipment is reflected in the following table for the periods indicated:
			Property And Equipment
			Years Ended December 31,
			2013			2012			2011
			(amounts in thousands)
	Depreciation expense		$	7,543		$	9,903		$	10,325
	As of December 31, 2013, the Company had construction commitments outstanding of $1.7 million.
	The following is a summary of the categories of property and equipment along with the range of estimated useful lives used for depreciation purposes:
		Depreciation Period				Property And Equipment
		In Years				December 31,
		From		To		2013			2012
						(amounts in thousands)
	Land, land easements and land improvements	0		15		$	12,750		$	16,640

							188,977			198,329
	Accumulated depreciation						-145,193			-148,605
							43,784			49,724
	Capital improvements in progress						655			1,953
	Net property and equipment					$	44,439		$	51,677
Revenue Recognition	'
	Revenue Recognition – Revenue from the sale of commercial broadcast time to advertisers is recognized when the commercials are broadcast. Revenues presented in the consolidated financial statements are reflected on a net basis, after the deduction of advertising agency fees by the advertising agencies, usually at a rate of 15% of gross revenues. Promotional fees are recognized as services are rendered. Advertiser payments received in advance of when the commercials are broadcast are recorded as unearned revenue.
	The Company derives revenues through e-commerce by selling discount certificates for advertiser goods and services directly to the Company's listeners through the use of the Company's station websites. In this business model, the Company shares a portion of the e-commerce sales with the advertiser. The Company reports these revenues on a net basis after deducting the portion of the sales that were shared with the advertiser.
	The following table presents the amounts of unearned revenues as of the periods indicated:
					Unearned Revenues
					December 31,
			Balance Sheet Location		2013			2012
					(amounts in thousands)
	Current		Accrued compensation and other current liabilities		$	317		$	291
	Long-term		Other long-term liabilities		$	43		$	125
Concentration Of Credit Risk	'
	Concentration Of Credit Risk – The Company's revenues and accounts receivable relate primarily to the sale of advertising within its radio stations' broadcast areas. Credit is extended based on an evaluation of the customers' financial condition and, generally, collateral is not required. Credit losses are provided for in the financial statements and consistently have been within management's expectations. The Company also maintains deposit accounts with financial institutions. At times, such deposits may exceed FDIC insurance limits.
Long-Lived Assets	'
	Long-Lived Assets - The Company evaluates the recoverability of its long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, broadcasting licenses (subject to an eight-year renewal cycle), goodwill, deferred charges, and other assets. See Note 4 for further discussion. If events or changes in circumstances were to indicate that an asset's carrying value is not recoverable, a write-down of the asset would be recorded through a charge to operations. The determination and measurement of the fair value of long-lived assets requires the use of significant judgments and estimates. Future events may impact these judgments and estimates.
	During the second quarter of 2013, the Company conducted an evaluation of useful lives for longer-lived assets, such as broadcast towers and buildings. As a result of this review, the Company determined that based on current facts and circumstances, future acquisitions may warrant the use of longer lives anywhere between 15 years and 40 years.
Debt Issuance Costs And Original Issue Discount	'
	Debt Issuance Costs And Original Issue Discount – The costs related to the issuance of debt are capitalized and amortized over the lives of the related debt and such amortization is accounted for as interest expense. In connection with the Company's debt: (1) in December 2013 and in November 2012, the Company recorded deferred debt issuance costs in connection with debt modifications; and (2) in November 2011, the Company recorded deferred debt issuance costs and an original issue discount in connection with its debt refinancing (debt modification for its revolving credit facility). See Note 7 for further discussion for the amount of deferred financing expense and original issue discount that was included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.
Extinguishment Of Debt	'
	Extinguishment Of Debt –The Company may amend, append or replace, in part or in full, its outstanding debt. The Company reviews its unamortized financing costs associated with its outstanding debt to determine the amount subject to extinguishment under the accounting provisions for an exchange of debt instruments with substantially different terms or changes in a line-of-credit or revolving-debt arrangement. In connection with the Company's November 2012 debt modification and November 2011 debt refinancing, the Company recorded debt extinguishment costs. See Note 7 for a discussion of any debt extinguishments associated with the Company's long-term debt.
Corporate General And Administrative Expense	'
	Corporate General And Administrative Expense – Corporate general and administrative expense consists of corporate overhead costs and non-cash compensation expense. Included in corporate general and administrative expenses are those costs not specifically allocable to any of the Company's individual business properties.
Time Brokerage Agreement (Income) Fees	'
	Time Brokerage Agreement (Income) Fees – TBA fees or income consist of fees paid or received under agreements which permit an acquirer to program and market stations prior to an acquisition. The Company sometimes enters into a TBA agreement prior to the consummation of station acquisitions and dispositions. The Company may also enter into a Joint Sales Agreement (“JSA”) to market, but not to program, a station for a defined period of time.
Barter Transactions	'
	Barter Transactions – The Company provides advertising broadcast time in exchange for certain products, supplies and services. The terms of the exchanges generally permit the Company to preempt such broadcast time in favor of advertisers who purchase time on regular terms. The Company includes the value of such exchanges in both broadcasting net revenues and station operating expenses. Barter valuation is based upon management's estimate of the fair value of the products, supplies and services received. See Note 15, Supplemental Cash Flow Disclosures On Non-Cash Investing And Financing Activities, for a summary of the Company's barter transactions.
Business Combinations	'
	Business Combinations – Accounting guidance for business combinations provides the criteria to recognize intangible assets apart from goodwill. Other than goodwill, the Company uses a direct value method to determine the fair value of all intangible assets required to be recognized for business combinations. For a discussion of impairment testing of those assets acquired in a business combination, including goodwill, see Note 4.
Asset Retirement Obligations	'
	Asset Retirement Obligations – The Company reasonably estimates the fair value of an asset retirement obligation. For an asset retirement obligation that is conditional (uncertainty about the timing and/or method of settlement), the Company factors into its fair value measurement a probability factor as the obligation depends upon a future event that may or may not be within the control of the Company. The Company's asset retirement obligations are not significant when compared to its net outstanding property and equipment.
Accrued Compensation	'
	Accrued Compensation – Certain types of employee compensation, which amounts are included in the balance sheets under accrued compensation and other current liabilities, are paid in subsequent periods. See Note 6 for amounts reflected in the balance sheets.
Cash And Cash Equivalents	'
	Cash And Cash Equivalents – Cash and cash equivalents consist primarily of amounts held on deposit with financial institutions, including investments held in financial institutions in immediately available money market accounts and all highly liquid debt instruments with initial maturities of three months or less.
Derivative Financial Instruments	'
	Derivative Financial Instruments – The Company follows accounting guidance for its derivative financial instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in other contracts, and hedging activities (for further discussion, see Note 9).
Leases	'
	Leases – The Company follows accounting guidance for its leases, which includes the recognition of escalated rents on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease agreement, as described further in Note 6.
Share-Based Compensation	'
	Share-Based Compensation – The Company records compensation expense for all share-based payment awards made to employees and directors, at estimated fair values. The Company also uses the simplified method in developing an estimate of the expected term of certain stock options. For further discussion of share-based compensation, see Note 11.
Investments	'
	Investments – For those investments in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over the operating and financial policies of the investee, the investment is accounted for under the equity method. For those investments in which the Company does not have such significant influence, the Company applies the accounting guidance for certain investments in debt and equity securities. An investment is classified into one of three categories: held-to-maturity, available-for-sale, or trading securities, and, depending upon the classification, is carried at fair value based upon quoted market prices or historical cost when quoted market prices are unavailable.
	The Company also provides certain quantitative and qualitative disclosures for those investments that are impaired (other than temporarily) at the balance sheet date and for those investments for which an impairment has not been recognized.
Advertising And Promotion Costs	'
	Advertising And Promotion Costs – Costs of media advertising and associated production costs are expensed when incurred.
Insurance And Self-Insurance Liabilities	'
	Insurance And Self-Insurance Liabilities – The Company uses a combination of insurance and self-insurance mechanisms to provide for the potential liabilities for workers' compensation, general liability, property, director and officers' liability, vehicle liability and employee health care benefits. Liabilities associated with the risks that are retained by the Company are estimated, in part, by considering claims experience, demographic factors, severity factors, outside expertise and other actuarial assumptions. For any legal costs expected to be incurred in connection with a loss contingency, the Company recognizes the expense as incurred.
Recognition Of Insurance Recoveries	'
	Recognition Of Insurance Recoveries – The Company recognizes insurance recoveries when all of the contingencies related to the insurance claims have been satisfied.
Sports Programming Costs	'
	Sports Programming Costs – Programming costs which are for a specified number of events are amortized on an event-by-event basis, and programming costs which are for a specified season are amortized over the season on a straight-line basis. The Company allocates that portion of sports programming costs that are related to sponsorship and marketing activities to sales and marketing expenses on a straight-line basis over the term of the agreement.
Accrued Litigation	'
	Accrued Litigation - The Company evaluates the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome in legal or regulatory proceedings to which it is a party and records a loss contingency when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These judgments are subjective, based on the status of such legal or regulatory proceedings, the merits of the Company's defenses and consultation with corporate and external legal counsel. Actual outcomes of these legal and regulatory proceedings may materially differ from the Company's estimates. The Company expenses legal costs as incurred in professional fees. See Contingencies under Note 20.
Software Costs	'
	Software Costs – The Company capitalizes direct internal and external costs incurred to develop internal-use software during the application development state.  Internal-use software includes website development activities such as the planning and design of additional functionality and features for existing sites and/or the planning and design of new sites. Costs related to the maintenance, content development and training of internal-use software are expensed as incurred.  Capitalized costs are amortized over the estimated useful life of three years using the straight-line method.
Reclassifications	'
	Reclassifications – Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial statements to conform to the presentation in the current year.
New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles	'
	Recent Accounting Standards
	Netting Of Unrecognized Tax Benefits Against Tax Assets
	In June 2013, the accounting guidance was modified to require the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a loss or other carryforward that would apply in the settlement of uncertain tax positions. This guidance is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and can be applied on a prospective basis. The Company anticipates that the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements as the Company's current presentation conforms to this new guidance.
	Obligations Resulting From Joint And Several Liability Arrangements
	In February 2013, the accounting guidance was amended for obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments provide guidance on the recognition, measurement, and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements, including debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, and settled litigation and judicial rulings, for which the total amount of the obligation is fixed at the reporting date. The amendment is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2014 and should be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect that the adoption of these provisions will have a significant impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Amounts Reclassified Out Of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
	In February 2013, the accounting guidance was modified with respect to how to report the effect of a significant reclassification out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013 and was applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not materially change the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	Balance Sheet Disclosures About Offsetting Assets And Liabilities
	In December 2011, the accounting guidance was revised to modify disclosures regarding financial and derivative instruments. Entities are required to provide both net and gross information for these assets and liabilities in order to provide for comparability with international accounting standards. This guidance, which was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2013, was applied retrospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not materially change the presentation of the Company's consolidated financial statements.
