Accounting Policies [Abstract]
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	BASIS OF PRESENTATION Preparation of Interim Financial Statements All references in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to iHeartMedia, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company’s reportable segments are iHeartMedia (“iHM”), Americas outdoor advertising (“Americas outdoor” or “Americas outdoor advertising”) and International outdoor advertising (“International outdoor” or “International outdoor advertising”). The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by 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 may not be 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Th e 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% to 50% 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 2017 presentation. Going Concern Considerations During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . This update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. The Company adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under this standard, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the date the Company’s financial statements were issued ( August 3, 2017 ). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due before August 3, 2018 . As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had $260.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet, including $163.1 million of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's subsidiary, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH"). As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had $144.1 million of excess availability under its receivables based credit facility, subject to limitations in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements. A substantial amount of the Company's cash requirements are for debt service obligations. Although the Company has generated operating income in excess of $1.0 billion in each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net losses and had negative cash flows from operations for each of these years as a result of significant cash interest payments arising from the Company's substantial debt balance. For each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of operating income not being sufficient to cover cash interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company used cash of $454.4 million for operating activities, which included cash paid for interest of $876.0 million . The Company's current forecast indicates it will continue to incur net losses and generate negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of the Company's indebtedness and significant related interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company spent $905.2 million of cash on payments of principal and interest on its debt and anticipates having approximately $549.9 million and $337.4 million of cash interest payment obligations for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2017 , the Company had debt maturities totaling $317.6 million , $324.0 million (net of $261.5 million due to certain subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications ) and $8,368.9 million in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. On July 10, 2017, iHeartCommunications exchanged $15.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications for $15.6 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by an unaffiliated third-party. On July 31, 2017, iHeartCommunications borrowed an additional $60.0 million under its receivables based credit facility. After the exchange and after the additional borrowings under the receivables based credit facility, the Company's debt maturities in the next 12 months include $365.0 million outstanding under its receivables based credit facility, which matures on December 24, 2017, $96.5 million of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 and $175.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018. The Company's forecast also includes approximately $1.8 billion in cash interest payments in the next 12 months, of which $549.9 million and $337.4 million is payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively. These factors indicate that, if the Company is unable to refinance or extend its receivable based credit facility, the 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, and/or the 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and take other steps to create additional liquidity, forecasted cash flows would not be sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations, including upcoming interest payments and maturities on the Company's outstanding debt, as they become due in the ordinary course of business for a period of 12 months following August 3, 2017 . As discussed below, the Company has plans to reduce its principal and interest obligations and to create additional liquidity. The Company plans to refinance or extend the receivables based credit facility to a date at least 12 months after August 3, 2017 with terms similar to the facility’s current terms. The Company has successfully extended the maturity date of this receivables based credit facility in the past, and the facility has a first-priority lien on the accounts receivable of iHeartCommunications and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, management is taking actions to create additional liquidity and maximize cash available to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business, including the Company's cash interest payment obligations of $549.9 million and $337.4 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively, the payment of the $96.5 million principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 at maturity and the payment of the $175.0 million 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 at maturity. In addition, as more fully described in Note 3, the Company launched notes exchange offers and term loan offers in March 2017, which notes exchange offers and term loan offers remain open as of August 3, 2017 . These actions are intended to mitigate those conditions which raise substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months following August 3, 2017 . While the Company continues to work toward completing the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers, refinancing or extending the maturity of the receivables based credit facility on similar terms, and taking other actions to create additional liquidity, there is no assurance that the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers, which have been revised since launch and are subject to substantial further revision, will be completed or that the receivables based credit facility will be refinanced or extended on similar terms. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months will depend on its ability to achieve forecasted results, its ability to conserve cash, its ability to refinance or extend the maturity of its receivables based credit facility on similar terms, and its ability to successfully complete the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers and achieve sufficient cash interest savings therefrom and its ability to complete other liquidity-generating transactions. Based on the uncertainty of achieving these actions and the significance of the forecasted future negative cash flows resulting from the Company's substantial debt balance, including anticipated future cash interest payments (including interest due in the third and fourth quarters of 2017) and the maturities of the $365.0 million in current borrowings under the Company's receivables based credit facility that matures December 24, 2017, the $96.5 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 and the $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018, management has determined that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following August 3, 2017 . New Accounting Pronouncements During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU No. 2014-09 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, 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company expects to utilize the full retrospective method. The Company has substantially completed its evaluation of the potential changes from adopting the new standard on its future financial reporting and disclosures, which included reviews of contractual terms for all of the Company’s significant revenue streams and the development of an implementation plan. The Company continues to execute on its implementation plan, including detailed policy drafting and training of segment personnel. Based on its evaluation, the Company does not expect material changes to its 2016 or 2017 consolidated revenues, operating income or balance sheets as a result of the implementation of this standard. During the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The new leasing standard presents significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard which was issued in the third quarter of 2015. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) . This update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) . This update mandates that entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of a stock-based award changes. Entities will have to make all of the disclosures about modifications that are required today, in addition to disclosing that compensation expense hasn't changed. Additionally, the new guidance also clarifies that a modification to an award could be significant and therefore require disclosure, even if the modification accounting is not required. The guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Dispositions In January 2017, Americas outdoor sold its Indianapolis, Indiana market to Fairway Media Group, LLC in exchange for certain assets in Atlanta, Georgia with a fair value of $39.4 million , plus $43.1 million in cash, net of closing costs. The assets acquired as part of the transaction consisted of $9.9 million in fixed assets and $29.5 million in intangible assets (including $2.3 million in goodwill). The Company recognized a net gain of $28.9 million related to the sale, which is included within Other operating income, net. Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 , respectively: (In thousands) June 30, December 31, Land, buildings and improvements $ 572,691 $ 570,566 Structures 2,777,063 2,684,673 Towers, transmitters and studio equipment 353,983 350,760 Furniture and other equipment 671,255 622,848 Construction in progress 97,437 91,655 4,472,429 4,320,502 Less: accumulated depreciation 2,545,770 2,372,340 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 1,926,659 $ 1,948,162 Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) broadcast licenses in its iHM 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 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 segment. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets primarily include transit and street furniture contracts, talent and representation contracts, customer and advertiser relationships, and site-leases and other contractual rights, all of which are amortized over the shorter of either 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.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES	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 its 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. International Outdoor Investigation On April 21, 2015, inspections were conducted at the premises of Clear Channel in Denmark and Sweden as part of an investigation by Danish competition authorities. Additionally, on the same day, Clear Channel UK received a communication from the UK competition authorities, also in connection with the investigation by Danish competition authorities. Clear Channel and its affiliates are cooperating with the national competition authorities. Stockholder Litigation On May 9, 2016, a stockholder of Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH") filed a derivative lawsuit in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned GAMCO Asset Management Inc. v. iHeartMedia Inc. et al., C.A. No. 12312-VCS. The complaint names as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications"), an indirect subsidiary of the Company , Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P. (together, the "Sponsor Defendants"), the Company's private equity sponsors and majority owners, and the members of CCOH's board of directors. CCOH also is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that CCOH has been harmed by the intercompany agreements with iHeartCommunications , CCOH’s lack of autonomy over its own cash and the actions of the defendants in serving the interests of the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants to the detriment of CCOH and its minority stockholders. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the defendants have breached their fiduciary duties by causing CCOH to: (i) continue to loan cash to iHeartCommunications under the intercompany note at below-market rates; (ii) abandon its growth and acquisition strategies in favor of transactions that would provide cash to the Company and iHeartCommunications ; (iii) issue new debt in the CCIBV note offering (the "CCIBV Note Offering") to provide cash to the Company and iHeartCommunications through a dividend; and (iv) effect the sales of certain outdoor markets in the U.S. (the "Outdoor Asset Sales") allegedly to provide cash to the Company and iHeartCommunications through a dividend. The complaint also alleges that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the directors' breaches of their fiduciary duties. The complaint further alleges that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants were unjustly enriched as a result of these transactions and that these transactions constituted a waste of corporate assets for which the defendants are liable to CCOH. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH and that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the CCOH board of directors' breaches of fiduciary duty, rescission of payments made by CCOH to iHeartCommunications and its affiliates pursuant to dividends declared in connection with the CCIBV Note Offering and Outdoor Asset Sales, and an order requiring the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Sponsor Defendants to disgorge all profits they have received as a result of the alleged fiduciary misconduct. On July 20, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's verified stockholder derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On November 23, 2016, the Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss all claims brought by the plaintiff. On December 19, 2016, the plaintiff filed a notice of appeal of the ruling. This appeal is pending before the Court.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]
Principles of Consolidation	The accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared by 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 may not be 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 2016 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Th e 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% to 50% 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 2017 presentation.
Going Concern Considerations and New Accounting Pronouncements	Going Concern Considerations During the second quarter of 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity's Ability to Continue as a Going Concern . This update provides U.S. GAAP guidance on management’s responsibility in evaluating whether there is substantial doubt about a company’s ability to continue as a going concern and about related footnote disclosures. The Company adopted this standard for the year ended December 31, 2016. Under this standard, the Company is required to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern each reporting period, including interim periods. In evaluating the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, management considered the conditions and events that could raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for 12 months following the date the Company’s financial statements were issued ( August 3, 2017 ). Management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources, including current funds available, forecasted future cash flows and the Company’s conditional and unconditional obligations due before August 3, 2018 . As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had $260.5 million of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet, including $163.1 million of cash and cash equivalents held by the Company's subsidiary, Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. ("CCOH"). As of June 30, 2017 , the Company had $144.1 million of excess availability under its receivables based credit facility, subject to limitations in iHeartCommunications' material financing agreements. A substantial amount of the Company's cash requirements are for debt service obligations. Although the Company has generated operating income in excess of $1.0 billion in each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company incurred net losses and had negative cash flows from operations for each of these years as a result of significant cash interest payments arising from the Company's substantial debt balance. For each of the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the Company had negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of operating income not being sufficient to cover cash interest expense. For the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company used cash of $454.4 million for operating activities, which included cash paid for interest of $876.0 million . The Company's current forecast indicates it will continue to incur net losses and generate negative cash flows from operating activities as a result of the Company's indebtedness and significant related interest expense. During the six months ended June 30, 2017 , the Company spent $905.2 million of cash on payments of principal and interest on its debt and anticipates having approximately $549.9 million and $337.4 million of cash interest payment obligations for each of the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. At June 30, 2017 , the Company had debt maturities totaling $317.6 million , $324.0 million (net of $261.5 million due to certain subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications ) and $8,368.9 million in 2017, 2018 and 2019, respectively. On July 10, 2017, iHeartCommunications exchanged $15.6 million in aggregate principal amount of 11.25% Priority Guarantee Notes due 2021 that were held by a subsidiary of iHeartCommunications for $15.6 million of aggregate principal amount outstanding of its 10.0% Senior Notes due 2018 that were held by an unaffiliated third-party. On July 31, 2017, iHeartCommunications borrowed an additional $60.0 million under its receivables based credit facility. After the exchange and after the additional borrowings under the receivables based credit facility, the Company's debt maturities in the next 12 months include $365.0 million outstanding under its receivables based credit facility, which matures on December 24, 2017, $96.5 million of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 and $175.0 million of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018. The Company's forecast also includes approximately $1.8 billion in cash interest payments in the next 12 months, of which $549.9 million and $337.4 million is payable in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively. These factors indicate that, if the Company is unable to refinance or extend its receivable based credit facility, the 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018, and/or the 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 and take other steps to create additional liquidity, forecasted cash flows would not be sufficient for the Company to meet its obligations, including upcoming interest payments and maturities on the Company's outstanding debt, as they become due in the ordinary course of business for a period of 12 months following August 3, 2017 . As discussed below, the Company has plans to reduce its principal and interest obligations and to create additional liquidity. The Company plans to refinance or extend the receivables based credit facility to a date at least 12 months after August 3, 2017 with terms similar to the facility’s current terms. The Company has successfully extended the maturity date of this receivables based credit facility in the past, and the facility has a first-priority lien on the accounts receivable of iHeartCommunications and certain of its subsidiaries. In addition, management is taking actions to create additional liquidity and maximize cash available to meet the Company’s obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business, including the Company's cash interest payment obligations of $549.9 million and $337.4 million in the third and fourth quarters of 2017, respectively, the payment of the $96.5 million principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 at maturity and the payment of the $175.0 million 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018 at maturity. In addition, as more fully described in Note 3, the Company launched notes exchange offers and term loan offers in March 2017, which notes exchange offers and term loan offers remain open as of August 3, 2017 . These actions are intended to mitigate those conditions which raise substantial doubt of the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period within 12 months following August 3, 2017 . While the Company continues to work toward completing the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers, refinancing or extending the maturity of the receivables based credit facility on similar terms, and taking other actions to create additional liquidity, there is no assurance that the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers, which have been revised since launch and are subject to substantial further revision, will be completed or that the receivables based credit facility will be refinanced or extended on similar terms. The Company’s ability to meet its obligations as they become due in the ordinary course of business for the next 12 months will depend on its ability to achieve forecasted results, its ability to conserve cash, its ability to refinance or extend the maturity of its receivables based credit facility on similar terms, and its ability to successfully complete the notes exchange offers and the term loan offers and achieve sufficient cash interest savings therefrom and its ability to complete other liquidity-generating transactions. Based on the uncertainty of achieving these actions and the significance of the forecasted future negative cash flows resulting from the Company's substantial debt balance, including anticipated future cash interest payments (including interest due in the third and fourth quarters of 2017) and the maturities of the $365.0 million in current borrowings under the Company's receivables based credit facility that matures December 24, 2017, the $96.5 million aggregate principal amount of 10% Senior Notes due January 15, 2018 and the $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.875% Senior Notes due June 15, 2018, management has determined that there is substantial doubt as to the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of 12 months following August 3, 2017 . New Accounting Pronouncements During the third quarter of 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date . This update provides a one-year deferral of the effective date for ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers . ASU No. 2014-09 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, 2017. The two permitted transition methods under the new standard are the full retrospective method, in which case the standard would be applied to each prior reporting period presented and the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the earliest period shown, or the modified retrospective method, in which case the cumulative effect of applying the standard would be recognized at the date of initial application. The Company expects to utilize the full retrospective method. The Company has substantially completed its evaluation of the potential changes from adopting the new standard on its future financial reporting and disclosures, which included reviews of contractual terms for all of the Company’s significant revenue streams and the development of an implementation plan. The Company continues to execute on its implementation plan, including detailed policy drafting and training of segment personnel. Based on its evaluation, the Company does not expect material changes to its 2016 or 2017 consolidated revenues, operating income or balance sheets as a result of the implementation of this standard. During the first quarter of 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . The new leasing standard presents significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees. Lessor accounting is updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the new revenue recognition standard which was issued in the third quarter of 2015. The standard is effective for annual periods, and for interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) . This update eliminates the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Entities will record an impairment charge based on the excess of a reporting unit's carrying amount over its fair value. The standard is effective for annual and any interim impairment tests performed for periods beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements. During the second quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718) . This update mandates that entities will apply the modification accounting guidance if the value, vesting conditions or classification of a stock-based award changes. Entities will have to make all of the disclosures about modifications that are required today, in addition to disclosing that compensation expense hasn't changed. Additionally, the new guidance also clarifies that a modification to an award could be significant and therefore require disclosure, even if the modification accounting is not required. The guidance will be applied prospectively to awards modified on or after the adoption date and is effective for annual periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the provisions of this new standard on its consolidated financial statements.
