NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

(1) Interim Financial Statements

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) have been omitted pursuant to the SEC rules and regulations. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for the periods indicated.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and include the consolidated accounts of Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2007 has been derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. The financial statements and related notes included in this report should be read in conjunction with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Results of the third quarter of 2008 are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year.

(2) Recent Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of SFAS 159,The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities – Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115, which permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. The adoption of SFAS 159 did not have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations or financial position.

In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations which replaces SFAS 141,Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well at the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. The Company has not completed its evaluation of the impact of the adoption of FSP 142-3.

(3) Derivatives and Hedging Activities

As of September 30, 2008, derivative financial instruments are comprised of the following:

Agreement	Notional amount		Fixed interest rate		Expiration date	Fair value
Interest rate swap	$	60,000,000	2.95	%	March 31, 2011	$	809,373
Interest rate swap		20,000,000	3.35	%	September 11, 2011		119,264
Interest rate swap		30,000,000	3.38	%	September 29, 2011		192,761
	$	110,000,000				$	1,121,398

The Company is using the interest rate swap agreements to reduce the potential impact of changes in interest rates on its credit facility. Under the swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed interest rate on the notional amount and the counterparty pays the Company a variable rate based on LIBOR on the notional amount. The swap agreements are designated and accounted for as cash flow hedges of the Company’s credit facility in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 133,Accounting for Derivative and Hedging Activities. The swap agreements are reported at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets and any changes in fair value are reported, net of income taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity.

The fair value of these derivatives was determined under the provisions of SFAS 157 using observable market-based inputs (a Level 2 measurement). The fair value is an estimate of the amount that the Company would receive if the swap agreements were settled on September 30, 2008.

The Company paid additional interest of approximately $23,000 and $54,000 under the swap agreements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, respectively. The amount paid is based on the differential between the fixed interest rate under the swap agreements and the variable interest rate of the credit facility.

The Company recognizes all derivatives at fair value, whether designated in hedging relationships or not, in the consolidated balance sheets as either an asset or liability. The Company formally documents all hedging activities and reviews the effectiveness of these activities on a quarterly basis.

(4) Long-Term Debt

Long-term debt is comprised of the following:

	December 31, 2007		September 30, 2008
Credit facility:
Revolving credit loan	$	63,000,000	$	55,500,000
Term loan		128,055,556		123,555,556
		191,055,556		179,055,556
Less current installments		—		(3,088,888	)
	$	191,055,556	$	175,966,668

As of September 30, 2008, the credit facility consists of a revolving credit loan with a maximum commitment of $102.1 million and a term loan with a remaining balance of $126.1 million. The revolving credit loan includes a $10.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, which may be increased to $20.0 million upon the Company’s request and with the approval of the Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch in its capacity as the letter of credit issuer. At the Company’s election, the revolving credit loan and term loan may bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by the Company’s debt to operating cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly through maturity. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the selected LIBOR period and, if the selected period is longer than three months, every three months after the beginning of the LIBOR period. The revolving credit loan and term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 6.4888% and 4.6274% as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, respectively, and mature on June 30, 2015. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the revolving credit loan may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the maximum amount available under the revolving credit loan.

As of September 30, 2008, the Company had $46.6 million in remaining commitments available under its credit facility; however, as of September 30, 2008, the Company’s maximum consolidated total debt covenant would have limited additional borrowings to $8.2 million.

The credit facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s assets and is guaranteed jointly and severally by all of the Company’s subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to the Company’s lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If the Company defaulted under the terms of the credit facility, the subsidiaries may have been required to perform under their guarantees. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments the subsidiaries would have had to make in the event of default was $179.1 million. The guarantees for the revolving credit loan and term loan expire on June 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2008, the scheduled repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and the next four years and thereafter are as follows:

	Revolving credit loan		Term loan		Total credit facility
2008	$	—	$	—	$	—
2009		—		4,633,333		4,633,333

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

The Company is required to satisfy financial covenants, which require it to maintain specified financial ratios and to comply with financial tests, such as ratios for maximum consolidated total debt, minimum interest coverage and minimum fixed charges. As of September 30, 2008, these financial covenants included:

• Maximum Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. As of September 30, 2008, the Company’s consolidated total debt must not have exceeded 6.25 times its consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ending (as those terms are defined in the credit agreement). On December 31, 2008, the last day of the current fiscal quarter, the maximum ratio will remain at 6.25 times, however, on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the maximum ratio will decrease to 5.75 times and on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the maximum ratio will decrease to 5.25 times and on the last day of each fiscal quarter for all periods after January 1, 2011, the maximum ratio will decrease to 4.75 times.

• Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each quarter must not have been less than 2.0 times the amount of its consolidated cash interest expense for such four quarter period.

• Minimum Fixed Charge Ratio. The Company’s consolidated operating cash flow for any four consecutive quarters must not be less than 1.1 times the amount of its consolidated fixed charges for such four quarter period. Fixed charges include cash paid for interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, scheduled principal repayments, dividends, and agency and commitment fees.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants, scheduled interest payments, scheduled principal repayments, or any other terms of its credit facility could result in the acceleration of the maturity of its outstanding debt. The Company believes that it will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit it to meet its financial obligations for at least the next twelve months.

As of September 30, 2008, management of the Company believed it was in compliance with applicable financial covenants.

(5) Stock-Based Compensation

The Beasley Broadcast Group, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Award Plan (the “2007 Plan”) permits the Company to issue up to 4.0 million shares of Class A common stock. The 2007 Plan allows for eligible employees, directors and certain consultants of the Company to receive shares of restricted stock, stock options or other stock-based awards. The restricted stock awards that have been granted under the 2007 Plan generally vest over three to five years of service.

A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2007 Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is presented below:

	Shares		Weighted- Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Unvested as of July 1, 2008	125,000		$	5.29

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

As of September 30, 2008, there was $0.4 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock granted under the 2007 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years.

The 2000 Equity Plan of Beasley Broadcast Group. Inc. (the “2000 Plan”) was terminated upon adoption of the 2007 Plan, except with respect to outstanding awards. The restricted stock and stock option awards that have been granted under the 2000 Plan generally vest over three to five years of service. However, some stock option awards contain performance-related provisions that may delay vesting beyond five years but no longer than seven years after the date of grant. Stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. No new awards will be granted under the 2000 Plan.

A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2000 Plan for the three months ended September 30, 2008 is presented below:

(6) Income Taxes

The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 39% for both periods presented in 2007 and 43% for both periods presented in 2008, which differ from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain of the Company’s expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. The effective tax rate for 2008 also includes expected additional tax expense from the vesting of restricted stock throughout 2008 at stock prices lower than the grant-date stock prices of those awards.

(7) Fair Value Measurements

On January 1, 2008, the Company adopted the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) 157,Fair Value Measurements, which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.

SFAS 157 defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s own assumptions based on the best information available in the circumstances. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three broad levels. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are defined as follows:

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

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, as of the reporting date.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability that reflect management’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability as of the reporting date.

The fair values of the Company’s financial assets are categorized as follows:

	September 30, 2008		Value Measurements At Reporting Date Using
Description			Quoted Prices In Active Markets For Identical Assets Or Liabilities (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

You should read the following discussion together with the financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. The results discussed below are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected in any future periods. This report contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements other than statements of historical fact are “forward-looking statements” for purposes of federal and state securities laws, including any projections of earnings, revenues or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations; any statements concerning proposed new services or developments; any statements regarding future economic conditions or performance; any statements of belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may include the words “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “intend,” “continue,” “believe,” “expect” or “anticipate” and other similar words. Such forward-looking statements may be contained in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” among other places. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in any of our forward-looking statements are reasonable, actual results could differ materially from those projected or assumed in any of our forward-looking statements. Our future financial condition and results of operations, as well as any forward-looking statements, are subject to change and to inherent risks and uncertainties, such as unforeseen events that would cause us to broadcast commercial-free for any period of time and changes in the radio broadcasting industry generally. We do not intend, and undertake no obligation, to update any forward-looking statement. Key risks to our company are described in our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2008.

General

We are a radio broadcasting company whose primary business is acquiring, developing, and operating radio stations throughout the United States. We own and operate 44 radio stations in the following markets: Miami-Fort Lauderdale, FL, Philadelphia, PA, Wilmington, DE, Las Vegas, NV, Fort Myers-Naples, FL, Fayetteville, NC, Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville, NC, Augusta, GA, West Palm Beach-Boca Raton, FL, Atlanta, GA and Boston, MA. We refer to each group of radio stations that we own in each radio market as a market cluster.

Financial Statement Presentation

The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our consolidated financial statements and general factors that impact these items.

Net Revenue.Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising airtime to local and national advertisers. Net revenue is gross revenue less agency commissions, generally 15% of gross revenue. Local revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to advertisers in a radio station’s local market either directly to the advertiser or through the advertiser’s agency. National revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sales to agencies purchasing advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions.

The advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listener levels generally determine our net revenue. Advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:

• a radio station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers as measured principally by quarterly reports issued by the Arbitron Ratings Company;

• the number of radio stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;

• the supply of, and demand for, radio advertising time; and

• the size of the market.

15

Our net revenue is affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the radio broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our revenues are typically lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year.

We use trade sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services; however, we endeavor to minimize trade revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.

A growing source of revenue comes from our radio station websites primarily through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our radio stations over the internet. Our radio station websites contributed $3.0 million or 3.0% of net revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and $4.2 million or 4.6% of net revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2008.

Operating Costs and Expenses.Our operating costs and expenses consist primarily of (1) programming, engineering, and promotional expenses, reported as cost of services, and selling, general and administrative expenses incurred at our radio stations, (2) general and administrative expenses, including compensation and other expenses, incurred at our corporate offices, and (3) depreciation and amortization. We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters.

Income Taxes.Our effective tax rate was approximately 39% for both periods presented in 2007 and 43% for both periods presented in 2008, which differs from the federal statutory rate of 34% due to the effect of state income taxes and certain of our expenses that are not deductible for tax purposes. The effective tax rate for 2008 also includes expected additional tax expense from the vesting of restricted stock throughout 2008 at stock prices lower than the grant-date stock prices of those awards.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts and related disclosures. We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if:

• it requires assumptions to be made that were uncertain at the time the estimate was made; and

• changes in the estimate or different estimates that could have been selected could have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition.

Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7 of our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2007. There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies during the third quarter of 2008.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations which replaces SFAS 141,Business Combinations. SFAS 141(R) requires an acquirer to recognize the assets acquired, the liabilities assumed, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the acquisition date, measured at their fair values as of that date. SFAS 141(R) also requires the acquirer in a business combination achieved in stages to recognize the identifiable assets and liabilities, as well at the noncontrolling interest in the acquiree, at the full amounts of their fair values. SFAS 141(R) applies to all transactions or other events in which an entity obtains control of one or more businesses. SFAS 141(R) applies prospectively to business combinations for which the acquisition date is on or after the beginning of the first annual reporting period beginning on or after December 15, 2008.

16

In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS 161,Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities – an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 which changes the disclosure requirements for derivative instruments and hedging activities. Entities are required to provide enhanced disclosure about (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under Statement 133 and its related interpretations, and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS 161 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early application permitted. We have not completed our evaluation of the impact of the adoption of SFAS 161.

In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) 142-3,Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which amends the factors that should be considered in developing renewal or extension assumptions used to determine the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142,Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. The intent of this FSP is to improve the consistency between the useful life of a recognized intangible asset under SFAS 142 and the period of expected cash flows used to measure the fair value of the asset under SFAS 141 (revised 2007), and other U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. FSP 142-3 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is prohibited. We have not completed our evaluation of the impact of the adoption of FSP 142-3.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2007

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 with respect to certain of our key financial measures. These changes illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

	Three months ended September 30,				Change
	2007		2008		$			%
Net revenue	$	33,285,701	$	30,571,244	$	(2,714,457	)	(8.2	)%
Cost of services		12,501,619		10,418,913		(2,082,706	)	(16.7	)
Selling, general and administrative expenses		12,240,981		11,104,606		(1,136,375	)	(9.3	)
Corporate general and administrative expenses		2,671,256		2,214,838		(456,418	)	(17.1	)
Interest expense		3,583,319		2,045,164		(1,538,155	)	(42.9	)

Net Revenue.The $2.7 million decrease in net revenue during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was partially due to a $1.6 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster, which was primarily due to the absence of revenue from broadcasting the Florida Marlins baseball games, which contributed $0.9 million during the same period in 2007. The program rights agreement to broadcast the Florida Marlins baseball games was not renewed in 2008. The decrease in net revenue was also due to an additional $0.7 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster, a $0.7 million decrease at our Fort Myers-Naples market cluster, and a $0.3 million decrease at our Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville market cluster due to weaker performance in those clusters. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.3 million increase at our Philadelphia market cluster due to improved performance in that cluster.

Cost of Services.The $2.1 million decrease in cost of services during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a $1.9 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster that was primarily due to the non-renewal of the Florida Marlins baseball team program rights agreement, which cost $1.8 million during the same period in 2007. Cost of services also decreased at six of our ten other market clusters and were comparable to the same period in 2007 at the remaining four market clusters.

17

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $1.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a $0.8 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster primarily due to lower sales commissions as a result of the decrease in net revenue. This decrease was partially offset by a $0.3 million increase at our Philadelphia market cluster primarily due to higher sales commissions as a result of the increase in net revenue. Selling, general and administrative expenses also decreased at eight of our nine other market clusters and were comparable to the same period in 2007 at the remaining market cluster.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. The $0.5 million decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense and severance expense.

Interest Expense.The $1.5 million decrease in interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in our borrowing costs and voluntary repayments of borrowings under our credit facility.

Nine Months Ended September 30, 2008 Compared to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2007

The following summary table presents a comparison of our results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 with respect to certain of our key financial measures. These changes illustrated in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

	Nine months ended September 30,				Change
	2007		2008		$			%

Interest expense		10,487,802		6,839,564		(3,648,238	)	(34.8	)
Loss on extinguishment of long-term debt		366,599		—		(366,599	)	—

Net Revenue.The $7.9 million decrease in net revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was partially due to a $3.1 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster, which was primarily due to the absence of revenue from broadcasting the Florida Marlins baseball games, which contributed $1.9 million during the same period in 2007. The decrease in net revenue was also due to an additional $1.2 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster, a $2.6 million decrease at our Fort Myers-Naples market cluster, a $1.5 million decrease at our Las Vegas market cluster, and a $0.5 million decrease at our Greenville-New Bern-Jacksonville market cluster due to weaker performance in those clusters.

Cost of Services.The $5.8 million decrease in cost of services during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a $4.0 million decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster that was primarily due to the non-renewal of the Florida Marlins baseball team program rights agreement, which cost $3.9 million during the same period in 2007. The decrease in cost of services was also due to a $0.5 million decrease at our Las Vegas market cluster primarily due to a promotional campaign in 2007 for one of our radio stations in that market. Cost of services also decreased at eight of our nine other market clusters and were comparable to the same period in 2007 at the remaining market cluster.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. The $1.1 million decrease in selling, general and administrative expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a $0.6 million

18

decrease at our Miami-Fort Lauderdale market cluster, a $0.5 million decrease at our Las Vegas market cluster primarily due to lower sales commissions as a result of the decrease in net revenue in those markets. These decreases were partially offset by a $0.5 million increase at our Philadelphia market cluster primarily due to higher sales commissions as a result of the increase in net revenue.

Corporate General and Administrative Expenses. The $0.6 million decrease in corporate general and administrative expenses during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in stock-based compensation expense.

Interest Expense.The $3.6 million decrease in interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to a decrease in our borrowing costs and voluntary repayments of borrowings under our credit facility.

Loss on Extinguishment of Long-Term Debt. In connection with an amendment to our credit agreement in 2007, we recorded a $0.4 million loss on extinguishment of long-term debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2007.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview. Our primary sources of liquidity are internally generated cash flow and our revolving credit loan. Our primary liquidity needs have been, and for the next twelve months and thereafter are expected to continue to be, for working capital, debt service, and other general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures and radio station acquisitions. Historically, our capital expenditures have not been significant. In addition to property and equipment associated with radio station acquisitions, our capital expenditures have generally been, and are expected to continue to be, related to the maintenance of our studio and office space and the technological improvement, including upgrades necessary to broadcast HD Radio, and maintenance of our broadcasting towers and equipment. We have also purchased or constructed office and studio space in some of our markets to facilitate the consolidation of our operations. Other liquidity needs for the next twelve months and thereafter may also include additional share repurchases and cash dividends.

Our credit agreement permits us to repurchase up to $50.0 million of our common stock and on June 10, 2004, our board of directors has authorized us to repurchase up to $25.0 million of our Class A common stock over a one-year period from the date of authorization, which was extended on May 12, 2005 for one additional year. On May 24, 2006, our board of directors authorized us to increase the remaining balance under our previous authorization from $21.3 million to $25.0 million and to extend the repurchase period to May 23, 2007. Effective May 24, 2007, our board of directors authorized the extension of the repurchase period for one additional year. Effective May 24, 2008, our board of directors authorized the extension of the repurchase period for one additional year. From June 10, 2004 to November 7, 2008, we repurchased 1.5 million shares of our Class A common stock for an aggregate $12.7 million.

Our credit agreement also permits us to pay cash dividends on our common stock in an amount up to an aggregate of $10.0 million per year. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, we paid $1.5 million and $4.4 million for cash dividends, respectively. On September 10, 2008, our board of directors declared a cash dividend of $0.05 per share on our Class A and Class B common stock. The dividend of $1.2 million in the aggregate was paid on October 16, 2008, to stockholders of record on September 30, 2008.

We expect to provide for future liquidity needs through one or a combination of the following sources of liquidity:

• internally generated cash flow;

• our credit facility;

• additional borrowings, other than under our existing credit facility, to the extent permitted thereunder; and

• additional equity offerings.

19

We believe that we will have sufficient liquidity and capital resources to permit us to provide for our liquidity requirements and meet our financial obligations for the next twelve months. However, continuation or worsening of the economic downturn in the United States or in the markets we serve, poor financial results, unanticipated acquisition opportunities or unanticipated expenses could give rise to defaults under our credit facility, additional debt servicing requirements or other additional financing or liquidity requirements sooner than we expect and we may not secure financing when needed or on acceptable terms.

Our ability to reduce our total leverage ratio as required by our credit facility by increasing operating cash flow and/or decreasing long-term debt will determine how much, if any, of the remaining commitments under the revolving portion of our credit facility will be available to us in the future. Continuation or worsening of the economic downturn in the United States or in the markets we serve, poor financial results or unanticipated expenses could result in our failure to maintain or lower our total leverage ratio and we may not be permitted to make any additional borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility. We may make additional share repurchases and future dividend payments instead of repaying indebtedness with such funds and if we incur additional indebtedness in order to make such repurchases or dividend payments, our total debt ratio may be adversely affected and we may not be permitted to make additional borrowings under the revolving portion of our credit facility.

The following summary table presents a comparison of our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2007 and 2008 with respect to certain of our key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed in greater detail below. This section should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to condensed consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this report.

	Nine months ended September 30,
	2007			2008
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	13,236,456		$	16,750,306
Net cash used in investing activities		(46,977,330	)		(1,200,898	)
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities		31,284,334			(17,116,247	)
Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents	$	(2,456,540	)	$	(1,566,839	)

Net Cash Provided By Operating Activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $3.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 compared to the same period in 2007 primarily due to a $4.2 million decrease in cash paid for station operating expenses, a $3.2 million decrease in cash paid for interest, and a $1.0 million increase in cash refunded for income taxes. These increases were partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in cash receipts from the sale of advertising airtime.

Net Cash Used In Investing Activities. Net cash used in investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to cash payments for capital expenditures of $1.3 million. Net cash used in investing activities for the same period in 2007 was primarily due to cash payments of $42.2 million for the acquisition of WJBR-FM in Wilmington, DE, cash payments of $2.7 million for the acquisition KBET-AM in Las Vegas, NV and cash payments for capital expenditures of $2.3 million.

Net Cash Provided By (Used In) Financing Activities. Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2008 was primarily due to voluntary repayments of $12.0 million of borrowings under our credit facility, cash dividends of $4.4 million and $0.8 million for repurchases of our Class A common stock. Net cash provided by financing activities for the same period in 2007 was primarily due to additional borrowings of $42.0 million from our credit facility to finance the acquisition of WJBR-FM in Wilmington, DE, which were partially offset by cash dividends of $4.4 million, $3.1 million for repurchases of our Class A common stock, and voluntary repayments of $3.0 million of borrowings under our credit facility.

20

Credit Facility. As of October 31, 2008, the outstanding balance of our credit facility was $179.1 million. As of September 30, 2008, our credit facility consisted of a revolving credit loan with a maximum commitment of $102.1 million and a term loan with a remaining balance of $126.1 million. The revolving credit loan includes a $10.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit, which may be increased to $20.0 million upon our request and with the approval of the Bank of Montreal, Chicago Branch in its capacity as the letter of credit issuer. At our election, the revolving credit loan and term loan may bear interest at either the base rate or LIBOR plus a margin that is determined by our debt to operating cash flow ratio. The base rate is equal to the higher of the prime rate or the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.5%. Interest on base rate loans is payable quarterly through maturity. Interest on LIBOR loans is payable on the last day of the selected LIBOR period and, if the selected period is longer than three months, every three months after the beginning of the LIBOR period. The revolving credit loan and term loan carried interest, based on LIBOR, at 6.4888% and 4.6274% as of December 31, 2007 and September 30, 2008, respectively, and mature on June 30, 2015. The scheduled reductions in the amount available under the revolving credit loan may require principal repayments if the outstanding balance at that time exceeds the maximum amount available under the revolving credit loan.

As of September 30, 2008, we had $46.6 million in remaining commitments available under the revolving portion of our credit facility; however, as of September 30, 2008, our maximum consolidated total debt covenant would have limited additional borrowings to $8.2 million.

Our credit facility is secured by substantially all of our assets and is guaranteed jointly and severally by all of our subsidiaries. The guarantees were issued to our lenders for repayment of the outstanding balance of the credit facility. If we default under the terms of the credit facility, our subsidiaries may be required to perform under their guarantees. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments the subsidiaries would have to make in the event of default is $179.1 million. The guarantees for the revolving credit loan and term loan expire on June 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2008, the scheduled repayments of the credit facility for the remainder of fiscal 2008 and the next four years and thereafter are as follows:

	Revolving credit loan		Term loan		Total credit facility
2008	$	—	$	—	$	—
2009		—		4,633,333		4,633,333
2010		—		6,177,778		6,177,778
2011		—		8,957,778		8,957,778
2012		—		9,884,444		9,884,444
Thereafter		55,500,000		93,902,223		149,402,223
Total	$	55,500,000	$	123,555,556	$	179,055,556

We must pay a quarterly unused commitment fee equal to 0.375% on the unused portion of the revolving credit loan. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, our unused commitment fees were approximately $45,000 and $124,000, respectively.

We are required to satisfy financial covenants, which require us to maintain specified financial ratios and to comply with financial tests, such as ratios for maximum consolidated total debt, minimum interest coverage and minimum fixed charges. As of September 30, 2008, these financial covenants included:

• Maximum Consolidated Total Debt Ratio. As of September 30, 2008, our consolidated total debt must not have exceeded 6.25 times our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters then ending (as those terms are defined in the credit agreement). On December 31, 2008, the last day of the current fiscal quarter, the maximum ratio will remain at 6.25 times, however, on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2009 through December 31, 2009, the maximum ratio will

21

decrease to 5.75 times and on the last day of each fiscal quarter for the period from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2010, the maximum ratio will decrease to 5.25 times and on the last day of each fiscal quarter for all periods after January 1, 2011, the maximum ratio will decrease to 4.75 times.

• Minimum Interest Coverage Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for the four quarters ending on the last day of each quarter must not have been less than 2.0 times the amount of our consolidated cash interest expense for such four quarter period.

• Minimum Fixed Charge Ratio. Our consolidated operating cash flow for any four consecutive quarters must not be less than 1.1 times the amount of our consolidated fixed charges for such four quarter period. Fixed charges include cash paid for interest, income taxes, capital expenditures, scheduled principal repayments, dividends, and agency and commitment fees.

Failure to comply with these financial covenants, to make scheduled interest payments or scheduled principal repayments, or to comply with any other terms of our credit facility could result in the acceleration of the maturity of our debt outstanding thereunder, which could have a material adverse effect on our business or results of operations.

As of September 30, 2008, we were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under the credit facility. As of September 30, 2008, as calculated pursuant to the terms of our credit agreement, our consolidated total debt ratio was 5.98 times consolidated operating cash flow, our interest coverage ratio was 2.97 times interest expense, and our fixed charge coverage ratio was 1.76 times fixed charges.

The credit facility also contains other customary restrictive covenants. These covenants limit our ability to: incur additional indebtedness and liens; enter into certain investments or joint ventures; consolidate, merge or effect asset sales; enter sale and lease-back transactions; sell or discount accounts receivable; enter into transactions with affiliates or stockholders; or change the nature of our business.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Market risk is the risk of loss arising from adverse changes in market rates and prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and commodity prices. Our primary exposure to market risk is interest rate risk associated with our credit facility. As of September 30, 2008, all of our long-term debt bears interest at variable rates. Accordingly, our earnings are affected by changes in interest rates. Assuming the current level of borrowings at variable rates and assuming a one-percentage point increase in the current interest rate under these borrowings, we estimate that our annualized interest expense would increase by $0.7 million and our net income would decrease by $0.4 million. In the event of an adverse change in interest rates, management may take actions to mitigate our exposure. However, due to the uncertainty of the actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this interest rate analysis assumes no such actions. Further, the analysis does not consider the effects of the change in the level of overall economic activity that could exist in such an environment.

As of September 30, 2008, we are a party to three interest rate swap agreements with a $110.0 million notional amount. The swap agreements expire from March to September 2011. As of September 30, 2008, the fair value of the swap agreements was an asset of $1.1 million.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.

Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(b) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that these disclosure controls and procedures are effective. There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
