Basis Of Presentation	'
	NOTE 1 – BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Preparation of Interim Financial Statements
	The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by CC Media Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all normal and recurring adjustments necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its subsidiaries. Also included in the consolidated financial statements are entities for which the Company has a controlling financial interest or is the primary beneficiary. Investments in companies in which the Company owns 20 percent to 50 percent of the voting common stock or otherwise exercises significant influence over operating and financial policies of the Company are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in the consolidation process. Certain prior-period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2014 presentation.
	Adoption of New Accounting Standards
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (“FASB”) ASU No. 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date. This update provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of obligations resulting from joint and several liability arrangements for which the total amount of the obligation within the scope of this guidance is fixed at the reporting date. The amendments are effective for fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013 and are to be applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented for such obligations that exist at the beginning of an entity's fiscal year of adoption. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted the FASB's ASU No. 2013-05, Parent's Accounting for the Cumulative Translation Adjustment upon Derecognition of Certain Subsidiaries or Groups of Assets within a Foreign Entity of an Investment in a Foreign Entity. The amendments are effective prospectively for the fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013 and provide clarification guidance for the release of the cumulative translation adjustment under current U.S. GAAP. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	During the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted the FASB's ASU No. 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists. This update requires unrecognized tax benefits to be offset against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss or tax credit carryforward in certain situations. The amendments are effective prospectively for the fiscal years (and interim periods within) beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
	During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. This new standard provides guidance for the recognition, measurement and disclosure of revenue resulting from contracts with customers and will supersede virtually all of the current revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard is effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its financial position and results of operations.

	The Company's property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	Other property, plant and equipment, net	$	1,104,175		$	1,132,120
	Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets
	The Company's indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) broadcast licenses in its Media and Entertainment (“CCME”) segment and billboard permits in its Americas outdoor advertising segment. Due to significant differences in both business practices and regulations, billboards in the International outdoor advertising segment are subject to long-term, finite contracts unlike the Company's permits in the United States and Canada. Accordingly, there are no indefinite-lived intangible assets in the International outdoor advertising segment.
	Other Intangible Assets
	Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company's definite-lived intangible assets include primarily transit and street furniture contracts, talent and representation contracts, customer and advertiser relationships, and site-leases, all of which are amortized over the respective lives of the agreements, or over the period of time the assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company's future cash flows. Permanent easements are indefinite-lived intangible assets which include certain rights to use real property not owned by the Company. The Company periodically reviews the appropriateness of the amortization periods related to its definite-lived intangible assets. These assets are recorded at cost.
	The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively:

	On February 14, 2014, CC Finco LLC (“CC Finco”), an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, sold $227.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021 issued by Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (“Clear Channel”) to private purchasers in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. This $227.0 million in aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2021, which was previously eliminated in consolidation because the notes were held by a subsidiary, is now reflected on the Company's consolidated balance sheet. CC Finco contributed the net proceeds from the sale of the Senior Notes due 2021 to Clear Channel, which intends to use such proceeds to repay, repurchase or otherwise acquire outstanding indebtedness from time to time and retire that indebtedness as it becomes due or upon its earlier repayment, repurchase or acquisition.

The 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 mature on January 15, 2018 and bear interest at a rate of 10.0% per annum, payable semi-annually on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning on July 15, 2014.

	Clear Channel intends to issue and sell approximately $222.2 million in aggregate principal amount of new Senior Notes due 2021 to CC Finco in a transaction exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The new Senior Notes due 2021 will be issued as additional notes under the indenture governing Clear Channel's existing Senior Notes due 2021. On July 21, 2014, Clear Channel issued a notice of redemption to redeem all of the outstanding $94.3 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and $127.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 using proceeds of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021. The closing of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021 and redemption of the outstanding Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 are expected to occur on August 22, 2014.
	Debt Repayments, Maturities and Other
	During February 2014, Clear Channel repaid all principal amounts outstanding under its receivables based credit facility, using cash on hand.  This voluntary repayment did not reduce the commitments under this facility and Clear Channel has the ability to redraw amounts under this facility at any time.
	During March 2014, CC Finco repurchased, through open market purchases, a total of $61.9 million aggregate principal amount of notes, comprised of $52.9 million of Clear Channel's outstanding 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 and $9.0 million of Clear Channel's outstanding 4.9% Senior Notes due 2015, for a total purchase price of $63.1 million, including accrued interest.  Clear Channel cancelled these notes subsequent to the purchase. In connection with these transactions, Clear Channel incurred expenses of $3.9 million, which are included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” for the six months ended June 30, 2014.
	During May 2014, Clear Channel retired $130.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 held by CC Finco.
	On June 6, 2014, using the proceeds from the issuance of the 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018, Clear Channel redeemed $567.1 million aggregate principal amount of Clear Channel's 5.5% Senior Notes due 2014 (including $158.5 million principal amount of the notes held by a subsidiary of Clear Channel) and $241.0 million aggregate principal amount of Clear Channel's 4.9% Senior Notes due 2015. In connection with these transactions, Clear Channel incurred expenses of $47.5 million, which are included in “Loss on extinguishment of debt” for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
	On July 21, 2014, Clear Channel issued a notice of redemption to redeem all of the outstanding $94.3 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and $127.9 million aggregate principal amount of Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 and will be using proceeds of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021 to CC Finco to redeem the notes. The closing of the issuance of the new Senior Notes due 2021 and redemption of the outstanding Senior Cash Pay Notes due 2016 and Senior Toggle Notes due 2016 are expected to occur on August 22, 2014.

	NOTE 4 – SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES
	Income Tax Benefit (Expense)
	The Company's income tax benefit (expense) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, consisted of the following components:
	(In thousands)	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
		2014			2013			2014			2013
	Current tax benefit (expense)	$	7,492		$	-28,128		$	-35,587		$	-38,794
	Deferred tax benefit (expense)		-6,871			16,651			-32,179			123,642
	Income tax benefit (expense)	$	621		$	-11,477		$	-67,766		$	84,848
	The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were 0.4% and (12.6)%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded during the periods as additional deferred tax expense. The valuation allowance was recorded against a portion of the U.S. Federal and State net operating losses due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future periods.
	The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were 36.5% and 31.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were primarily impacted by the cancellation of indebtedness income recognized during the periods and the Company's inability to record tax benefit on tax losses in certain foreign jurisdictions due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future years.
	Supplemental Cash Flow Information
	During the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, cash paid for interest and income taxes, net of income tax refunds of $4.5 million and $1.3 million, respectively, was as follows:

	Australian Radio Network
	The Company owned a 50% interest in Australian Radio Network (“ARN”), an Australian company that owns and operates radio stations in Australia and New Zealand. An impairment charge of $95.4 million was recorded during the fourth quarter of 2013 to write down the investment to its estimated fair value. On February 18, 2014, a subsidiary of the Company sold its 50% interest in ARN, recognizing a loss on the sale of $2.4 million and $11.5 million of foreign exchange losses that were reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income at the date of the sale.

Commitments And Contingencies	'
	NOTE 5 – COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
	The Company and its subsidiaries are involved in certain legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business and, as required, have accrued an estimate of the probable costs for the resolution of those claims for which the occurrence of loss is probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These estimates have been developed in consultation with counsel and are based upon an analysis of potential results, assuming a combination of litigation and settlement strategies. It is possible, however, that future results of operations for any particular period could be materially affected by changes in the Company's assumptions or the effectiveness of the Company's strategies related to these proceedings. Additionally, due to the inherent uncertainty of litigation, there can be no assurance that the resolution of any particular claim or proceeding would not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition or results of operations.
	Although the Company is involved in a variety of legal proceedings in the ordinary course of business, a large portion of the Company's litigation arises in the following contexts: commercial disputes; defamation matters; employment and benefits related claims; governmental fines; intellectual property claims; and tax disputes.
	Los Angeles Litigation
	In 2008, Summit Media, LLC, one of the Company's competitors, sued the City of Los Angeles (the “City”), Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS Outdoor in Los Angeles Superior Court (Case No. BS116611) challenging the validity of a settlement agreement that had been entered into in November 2006 among the parties. Pursuant to the settlement agreement, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had taken down existing billboards and converted 83 existing signs from static displays to digital displays pursuant to modernization permits issued through an administrative process of the City. The Los Angeles Superior Court ruled in January 2010 that the settlement agreement constituted an ultra vires act of the City and nullified its existence, but did not invalidate the modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS. All parties appealed the ruling by the Los Angeles Superior Court to the Court of Appeal for the State of California, Second Appellate District, Division 8. On December 10, 2012, the Court of Appeal issued an order upholding the Superior Court's finding that the settlement agreement was ultra vires and remanding the case to the Superior Court for the purpose of invalidating the modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. and CBS for the digital displays that were the subject of the settlement agreement. On January 22, 2013, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. filed a petition with the California Supreme Court requesting its review of the matter, and the Supreme Court denied that petition on February 27, 2013. On April 12, 2013, the Los Angeles Superior Court invalidated 82 digital modernization permits issued to Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. (77 of which displays were operating at the time of the ruling) and 13 issued to CBS and ordered that the companies turn off the electrical power to affected digital displays by the close of business on April 15, 2013. Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. has complied with the order. On April 16, 2013, the Court conducted further proceedings during which it held that it was not invalidating two additional digital modernization permits that Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had secured through a special zoning plan and confirmed that its April 12 order invalidated only digital modernization permits – no other types of permits the companies may have secured for the signs at issue. Summit Media, LLC filed a further motion requesting that the Court order the demolition of the 82 sign structures on which the now-invalidated digital signs operated, as well as the invalidation of several other permits for traditional signs allegedly issued under the settlement agreement. At a hearing held on November 22, 2013, the Court denied Summit Media, LLC's demolition motion by allowing the 82 sign structures and their LED faces to remain intact, thus allowing Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. to seek permits under the existing City sign code to either wrap the LED faces with vinyl or convert the LED faces to traditional static signs. The Court further confirmed the invalidation of all permits issued under the settlement agreement. In anticipation of this order, Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc. had removed six static billboard facings solely permitted under the settlement agreement. At a hearing held on January 21, 2014, the Court denied Summit Media, LLC's motion for attorney's fees on the basis that Summit Media, LLC had a substantial financial interest in the outcome of the litigation and, therefore, was not entitled to fees under California's private attorney general statute. On March 12, 2014, Summit Media, LLC filed notices of appeal of the orders denying Summit Media, LLC's fee petition and denying in part Summit Media, LLC's demolition motion.
	NOTE 6 - GUARANTEES
	As of June 30, 2014, Clear Channel had outstanding surety bonds and commercial standby letters of credit of $45.5 million and $113.3 million, respectively, of which $0.2 million of letters of credit were cash secured. Letters of credit in the amount of $2.0 million are collateral in support of surety bonds and these amounts would only be drawn under the letter of credit in the event the associated surety bonds were funded and Clear Channel did not honor its reimbursement obligation to the issuers. These letters of credit and surety bonds relate to various operational matters including insurance, bid, and performance bonds as well as other items.
	As of June 30, 2014, Clear Channel had outstanding bank guarantees of $59.5 million related to international subsidiaries, of which $15.8 million were backed by cash collateral.

(“CCOH”) (1) provided notice of its intent to demand $175 million outstanding under the revolving promissory note with Clear Channel on August 11, 2014 and (2) declared a special cash dividend in aggregate amount equal to $175 million, the payment of which is conditioned upon the satisfaction by Clear Channel of such demand, payable on August 11, 2014 to CCOH's stockholders of record as of August 4, 2014.  As the indirect parent of CCOH, Clear Channel will be entitled to approximately 88% of the proceeds from such dividend through its wholly-owned subsidiaries.  The remaining approximately 12% of the proceeds from the dividend, or approximately $21 million, will be paid to the public stockholders of CCOH.  Clear Channel will fund the net payment of this $21 million with cash on hand, which will reduce the amount of cash Clear Channel has available to fund its working capital needs, debt service obligations and other obligations.  Following satisfaction of the demand, the balance outstanding under the note will be reduced by $175 million.
