Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements Abstract
Business Description And Basis Of Presentation Text Block	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SIGNIFICANT POLICIES The condensed consolidated interim unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared by Entercom Communications Corp. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) in accordance with: ( i ) generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information; and (ii) the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not i nclude all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, the financial statements reflect all adjustments considered necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations and fi nancial position for the interim periods presented. All such adjustments are of a normal and recurring nature. The Company’s results are subject to seasonal fluctuations and, therefore, the results shown on an interim basis are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. This Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and related notes included in the Company’s audited financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2015 and filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 , as part of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. T here have been no m aterial changes from Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies , as described in the notes to the Company’s financial statements contained in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 . Recent Accounting Pronouncements All new accounting pronouncements that are in effect that may impact the Company’s financial statements have been implemented. The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that have been issued, other than a few of the ones listed below or those included in the notes to the Company’s financial statements contained in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 that was filed with the SEC on February 26, 2016 , that might have a material impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Stock-Based Compensation Simplification In March 2016, the accounting guidance for stock-based compensation was simplified to require the recognition of the inco me tax effects of awards in the income statement when stock-based awards vest. The guidance on employers’ accounting for an employee’s use of shares to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation and for forfeitures is also changing. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this guidance will have on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial position. Leasing Transactions In February 2016, t he accounting guidance was modified to require that all leases with a term of more than one year, covering leased assets such as real estate, broadcasting towers and equipment, be reflected on the balance sheet as assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by these leases. While the Company is currently reviewing the effects of this guidance, the Company believes that this would result in: (1) an increase in the assets and liabilities reflected on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet s; and (2) an increase in the Company’s interest expense and depreciation and amortization expense and a decrease to the Company’s station operating expense reflected on its consolidated statements of operations. This guidance is effective for the Company as of January 1, 2019. Revenue Recognition In May 2014 the accounting guidance for revenue recognition was modified. Under the guidance, an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. The guidance will be applied using one of two retrospective methods. The guidance is effective for the Company a s of January 1, 2018. The Company has not determined the potential effects of this guidance on its financial statements. The following accounting pronouncements were effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. Business Combinations In September 2015, the accounting guidance for business combinations was modified to reflect measurement period adjustments to be recorded prospectively rather than retroactively to the assets and liabilities initially recorded under purchase price accounting. This gu idance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. This guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s financial position and results of operations, but could have an impact in a future period when an adjustment is recorded for a previously rep orted business combination. There should be no material impact to the Company’s cash flows. Cloud Computing Costs In April 2015, the accounting guidance was revised to identify when a cloud computing service includes a software license that is to be capi talized and treated consistently with the acquisition of other software licenses. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have any material effect on the Company’s results of oper ations, cash flows or financial condition. Debt Issuance Costs In April 2015, the accounting guidance was amended to modi fy the presentation of debt issuance costs on the balance sheet by requiring that all costs, including incremental third-party costs, be reflected as an offset to the associated debt liability rather than as a deferred charge. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. The impact of this guidance was to reclassify debt issuance costs (other than for line-of credit arrangements) from other assets to the respective long-term debt liability for balance sheet presentation purposes only and had no impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. In addition, certain reclassifications were recorded to the prior year’s balance sheet to conform to the presentation in the current year, which did not have a mat erial impact on the Company’s previously reported financial statements. Consolidation In February 2015, the accounting guidance for consolidation was amended which revises the analysis of and reduces the need to consolidate certain entities. This guid ance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. This accounting guidance did not have any material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Extraordinary Items In January 2015, the accounting guidance w as updated to eliminate the concept of an extraordinary item and the requirement to consider whether an underlying event or transaction is extraordinary. If an item is considered extraordinary, it is presented in the income statement net of tax, after inc ome from continuing operations. Eliminating the concept of extraordinary removes the uncertainty for the preparer as to whether the item had been treated properly. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. The Company will apply th is guidance prospectively to all applicable transactions. When applied, this guidance should have no impact to the Company’s cash flows or financial condition as this only impacts the Company’s presentation on the Company’s results of operations. Derivat ives And Hedging In November 2014, the accounting guidance was updated for determining whether the host contract in a hybrid financial instrument issued in the form of a share is more akin to debt or to equity. This update does not change the current cri teria for determining when separation of certain embedded derivative features in a hybrid financial instrument is required, but clarifies how current accounting guidance should be interpreted in the evaluation of the economic characteristics and risks of a host contract in a hybrid financial instrument that is issued in the form of a share, reducing existing diversity in practice. This guidance was effective for the Company as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have any mat erial effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Stock-Based Performance Awards In June 2014, the accounting guidance was updated for stock-based awards when the terms of an award provide that a performance target that affects vesting could be achieved after the requisite service period. The current accounting standard for stock-based compensation as it applies to awards with performance conditions should be applied. This guidance was effective for the Company as o f January 1, 2016. The adoption of this accounting guidance did not have any material effect on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows or financial condition. Reclassifications Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year’s financial statements to conform to the presentation in the current year (see accounting pronouncement on debt issuance costs) .

Goodwil And Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill And Intangible Assets Disclosure Text Block	2 . INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Goodwill and certain intangible assets are not amortized for book purposes. They may be, however, amortized for tax purposes. 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 val ue 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. There was no material change in the carrying value of broadcasting licenses or goodwill since the year ended December 31, 2015 . 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 . There were no events or circumstances since the Company’s prior year second quarter annual broadcasting licenses test that required the Company to re- test the carrying value of its broadcasting licenses. Goodwill Impairment Test The Company performs its annual goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of each year by assessing goodwill in each of the Company’s markets after determining that a radio market is a reporting unit. There were no events or circumstances since the Company’s prior year second quarter annual goodwill test that required the Company to re-test the carrying value of its goodwill.

Debt Disclosure [Abstract]
Debt Disclosure Text Block	4 . LONG-TERM DEBT (A) Senior Debt The Credit Facility As of March 31, 2016 , the amount outstanding under the term loan component (the “Term B Loan”) of the Company’s senior secured credit facility (the “Credit Facility ”) was $ 236.9 million and the amount outstanding under the revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) of the Credit Facility was $ 13.5 million. The amount available under the Revolver, which includes the impact of outstanding letters of credit, was $ 25.8 million as of March 31, 2016 . On November 23, 2011, the Company entered into a credit agreement with a syndicate of lenders for a $ 425 million Credit Facility that was initially comprised of: (a) a $ 50 million Revolver (reduced to $ 40 million in December 2015) that matures on November 23, 2016; and (b) a $ 375 million Term B Loan that matures on November 23, 2018. Long-term debt, excluding deferred financing expense on the Revolver, was comprised of the following: Long-Term Debt March 31, December31, 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands) Credit Facility Revolver, due November 23, 2016 $ 13,500 $ 26,000 Term B Loan, due November 23, 2018 236,918 242,750 250,418 268,750 Senior Notes 10.5% senior unsecured notes, due December 1, 2019 220,000 220,000 Unamortized original issue discount (1,640) (1,731) 218,360 218,269 Other Debt Capital lease and other 97 - Total debt before deferred financing costs 468,875 487,019 Current amount of long-term debt (32,210) (31,832) Deferred financing costs (excluding Revolver) (5,849) (6,463) Total long-term debt, net of current debt $ 430,816 $ 448,724 Outstanding standby letter of credit $ 670 $ 670 The Term B Loan requires mandatory prepayments equal to a percentage of Excess Cash Flow , which is defined within the agreement and is subject to incremental step-downs de pending on the Consolidated Leverage Ratio . The payment, which is currently estimated at 25 % of Excess Cash Flow, is due in the first quarter of each year for the prior year and is included under the current portion of long-term debt, net of any prepayments made throu gh March 31, 2016 . The Company expects to fund the payment using cash from operating activities. A s of March 31, 2016 , 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 under the Credit Facility 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 t hat it is adequate to fund the Company’s operating needs. Management believes that the Company can meet its liquidity requirements over the next 12 months, including its debt repaym ents. 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 the Company’s business and financial condition. In addition, a default under either the Company’s Credit Facility or the indenture governing the Company’s 10.5% senior unsecured notes (the “Senior Notes”) could cause a cross default in the other and result in the acceleration of the maturity of all outstanding debt. 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 rat es on its debt. ( B ) Senior Unsecured Debt The Senior Notes The Senior Notes may be redeemed at any time at a redemption price of 105.25 % of the principal amount plus accrued interest. The redemption price decreases December 1, 2016 and December 1, 2017 to 102.625 % and 100.0 %, respectively. O n November 23, 2011 , the Company issued $ 220.0 million of 10.5 % unsecured Senior Notes which matu re on December 1, 2019. The Company received net proceeds of $ 212.7 million, which include d 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 . ( C ) Net Interest Expense The components of net interest expense are as follows: Net Interest Expense Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands) Interest expense $ 8,623 $ 8,490 Amortization of deferred financing costs 687 707 Amortization of original issue discount of senior notes 91 82 Interest income and other investment income (9) - Total net interest expense $ 9,392 $ 9,279

The following table presents the changes in outstanding RSUs with market conditions: Three Months Year Ended Ended March 31, December 31, 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Reconciliation Of RSUs With Market Conditions Beginning of period balance 390 290 Number of RSUs granted 20 165 Number of RSUs forfeited - - Number of RSUs vested (225) (65) End of period balance 185 390 Average fair value of RSUs granted with market conditions $ 5.45 $ 8.39 The fair value of RSUs with service conditions is estimated using the Company’s closing stock price on the date of the grant. To determine the fair value of RSUs with service and market conditions, the Company used the Monte Carlo simulation lattice model. The Company’s determination of the fair value was based on the number of shares granted, the Company’s stock price on the date of grant and certain assumptions regarding a number of highly complex and subjective variables. If other reasonable assumptions were used, the results could differ. The specific assumptions used for these valuations are as follows: Three Months Ended Year Ended March 31, December 31, 2016 2015 Expected Volatility Term Structure (1) 36% to 45% 34% to 39% Risk-Free Interest Rate (2) 0.5% to 1.1% 0.1% to 1.1% Dividend Yield (3) 0.0% 0.0% RSUs With Service And Performance Conditions In addition to the RSUs included in the table above summarizing the activity in RSUs under the Plan, the Company issued RSUs with both service and performance conditions. Vesting of performance-based awards, if any, is dependent upon the achievement of certain performance targets . If the performance standards are not achieved, all unvested shares will expire and any accrued expense will be reversed . The Company determines the requisite service period on a cas e-by-case basis to determine the expense recognition period for non-vested performance based RSUs. The fair value is determined based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The Company applies a quarterly probability as sessment in computing its non-cash compensation expense and any change in the estimate is reflected as a cumulative adjustment to expense in the quarter of the change. The following table reflects the activity of RSUs with service and performance condit ions: Three Months Year Ended Ended March 31, December 31, 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands, except per share data) Reconciliation Of RSUs With Performance Conditions Beginning of period balance 29 8 Number of RSUs granted - 21 Number of RSUs that did not meet criteria - - Number of RSUs vested - - End of period balance 29 29 Average fair value of RSUs granted with performance conditions $ - $ 11.11 As of March 31, 2016 , no non-cash compensation expense was recognized for RSUs with performance conditions .

Income Tax Disclosure Abstract
Income Tax Disclosure Text Block	7. INCOME TAXES Tax Rate For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 The effective income tax rate was 17.6 % for the three months ended March 31, 2016 , which was impacted by discrete income tax benefits from recent legislation in certain single member states that allowed for: (1) the reversal of partial valuation allowances; and (2) a retroactive decrease in deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill. The income tax rate was also impacted by inc ome tax expense from: ( i ) an increase in deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill; ( ii ) an adjustment for expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes; and (iii) a tax benefit shortfall associated with share-based awards. Tax Rate For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 The effective income tax rate was not a meaningful number for the three months ended March 31, 2015 , and was impacted by discrete tax expense from: (1) legis lation that increased the deferred tax liabilities associated with non-amortizable assets such as broadcasting licenses and goodwill; and (2) a tax benefit shortfall associated with share-based awards. The impact of discrete items to the income tax rate is typically substantially greater in the first quarter of the year as income before taxes is the lowest as compared to subsequent quarters. Net Deferred Tax Assets And Liabilities As of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , net deferred tax liabilities were $ 79.0 million and $ 78.2 million, respectively. The income tax accounting process to determine the deferred tax liabilities involves estimating 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 period in which the diffe rences are expected to affect taxable income. The Company estimated the current exposure by assessing the temporary differences and computing the provision for income taxes by applying the estimated effective tax rate to income.

Fair Value Disclosures Text Block	8. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair Value Of Financial Instruments Subject To Fair Value Measurements Recurring Fair Value Measurements The following table set s forth the Company's financial assets and /or liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis and 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 and its placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. Value Measurements At Reporting Date March 31, December 31, Description 2016 2015 (amounts in thousands) Liabilities Deferred compensation - Level 1 (1) $ 9,851 $ 10,137 (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 def erred compensation plan liability is valued at Level 1 as it is based on quoted market prices of the underlying investments. Fair Value Of Financial Instruments Subject To Disclosures 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; (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: March 31, December 31, 2016 2015 Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Value Value Value Value (amounts in thousands) Term B Loan (1) $ 236,918 $ 237,214 $ 242,750 $ 242,447 Revolver (2) $ 13,500 $ 13,500 $ 26,000 $ 26,000 Senior Notes (3) $ 218,360 $ 227,094 $ 218,269 $ 227,000 Other debt (4) $ 97 $ - Letters of credit (5) $ 670 $ 670 The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments: (1) The Company’s determination of the fair value of the Term B Loan was based on quoted prices for this instrument and is considered a Level 2 measurement as the pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets . (2) The fair value of the Revolver is considered to approximate the carrying value as the interest payments are based on LIBOR rates that reset periodically. The Revolver is considered a Level 2 measurement as the pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets . (3) 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 Seni or Notes are traded in the debt securities market. The Senior Notes are considered a Level 2 measurement as the pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets . (4) The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair value of the other debt. ( 5 ) The Company does not believe it is practicable to estimate the fair value of the outstanding standby letter s of credit .

Mergers Acquisitions And Dispositions Disclosures Text Block	9. BUSINESS COMBINATIONS The Company consummated acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting, and the purchase price was allocated to the assets and liabilities based upon their respective fair values as determined as of the acquisition date. Merger and acquisition costs are excluded from the purchase price as these costs are expensed for book purposes and amortized for tax purposes. There were no acquisitions during the three months ended March 31, 2016 . Disposition In March 2016, the Company sold certain assets of KRWZ AM in Denver, Colorado, for $ 3.8 million in cash. The agreement was entered into in December 2015. The Company believes that the sale of this station, with a marginal market share, will not alter the Company’s competitive position in the market. The Company reported a gain, net of expenses, of $ 0.3 million on the disposition of these assets. Merger And Acquisition Costs And Restructuring Charges Merger and acquisition costs and restructuring charges were expensed as a separate line item in the statement of operations. These costs consisted primarily of legal, professional, advisory services and restructuring costs (as identified below) related to the Company’s integration of its acquisitions in 2015. The restructuring plan included : (1) costs associated with exiting contractual vendor ob ligations as these obligations were duplicative; (2) a workforce reduction and realignment charges that included one-time termination benefits and related costs ; and (3) lease abandonment costs . The lease abandonment costs are longer-term as the lease exp ires in June 2026.
