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 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. As described below, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization (as defined below), the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date (as defined below), are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. Refer to Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting," for additional information. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 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. Unless otherwise indicated, information in these notes to the consolidated financial statements relates to continuing operations. Certain of the Company's operations have been presented as discontinued. The Company presents businesses that represent components as discontinued operations when the components meet the criteria for held for sale, are sold, or spun-off and their disposal represents a strategic shift that has, or will have, a major effect on its operations and financial results. See Note 4, Discontinued Operations . As part of the Separation and Reorganization (as defined below), the Company reevaluated its segment reporting, resulting in the presentation of two businesses: ▪ Audio, which provides media and entertainment services via broadcast and digital delivery and also includes the Company’s events and national syndication businesses and ▪ Audio & Media Services, which provides other audio and media services, including the Company’s media representation business and the Company's provider of scheduling and broadcast software. Prior periods have been recast to reflect the Company's current segment presentation. See Note 13, Segment Data . Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 presentation. Voluntary Filing under Chapter 11 On March 14, 2018 (the "Petition Date"), the Company, iHeartCommunications, Inc. ("iHeartCommunications") and certain of the Company's direct and indirect domestic subsidiaries (collectively, the "Debtors") filed voluntary petitions for relief (the "Chapter 11 Cases") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Bankruptcy Code"), in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas, Houston Division (the "Bankruptcy Court"). Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries did not file voluntary petitions for reorganization under the Bankruptcy Code and were not Debtors in the Chapter 11 Cases. On April 28, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed a plan of reorganization (as amended, the “Plan of Reorganization”) and a related disclosure statement with the Bankruptcy Court, which we subsequently amended by filing the second, third, fourth and fifth amended Plan of Reorganization and amended versions of the Disclosure Statement. On January 22, 2019, the Plan of Reorganization was confirmed by the Bankruptcy Court. On May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”), the conditions to the effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization were satisfied and the Company emerged from Chapter 11 through (a) a series of transactions (the “Separation”) through which CCOH, its parent Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and its subsidiaries (collectively with CCOH and CCH, the “Outdoor Group”) were separated from, and ceased to be controlled by, the Company and its subsidiaries (the “iHeart Group”), and (b) a series of transactions (the “Reorganization”) through which iHeartCommunications’ debt was reduced from approximately $16 billion to approximately $5.8 billion and a global compromise and settlement among holders of claims (“Claimholders”) in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases was effected. The compromise and settlement involved, among others, (i) the restructuring of iHeartCommunications’ indebtedness by (A) replacing its “debtor-in-possession” credit facility with a $450 million senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility (the “ABL Facility”) and (B) issuing to certain Claimholders, on account of their claims, approximately $3.5 billion aggregate principal amount of new senior secured term loans (the “Term Loan Facility”), approximately $1.45 billion aggregate principal amount of new 8.375% Senior Notes due 2027 (the “Senior Unsecured Notes”) and approximately $800 million aggregate principal amount of new 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 (the “Senior Secured Notes”), (ii) the Company’s issuance of new Class A common stock, new Class B common stock and special warrants to purchase shares of new Class A common stock and Class B common stock (“Special Warrants”) to Claimholders, subject to ownership restrictions imposed by the Federal Communications’ Commission (“FCC”), (iii) the settlement of certain intercompany transactions, and (iv) the sale of the preferred stock (the “iHeart Operations Preferred Stock”) of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary iHeart Operations, Inc. (“iHeart Operations”) in connection with the Separation. All of the Predecessor (as defined below) Company's equity existing as of the Effective Date was canceled on such date pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. Upon the Company's emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date, are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. Refer to Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting," for additional information. References to "Successor" or "Successor Company" relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date. During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. Accordingly, certain charges incurred during 2018 and 2019 related to the Chapter 11 Cases, including the write-off of unamortized long-term debt fees and discounts associated with debt classified as liabilities subject to compromise, and professional fees incurred directly as a result of the Chapter 11 Cases are recorded as Reorganization items, net in the Predecessor period. ASC 852 requires certain additional reporting for financial statements prepared between the bankruptcy filing date and the date of emergence from bankruptcy, including: • Reclassification of Debtor pre-petition liabilities that are unsecured, under-secured or where it cannot be determined that the liabilities are fully secured, to a separate line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheet called, "Liabilities subject to compromise"; and • Segregation of Reorganization items, net as a separate line in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Loss, included within income from continuing operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern and contemplate the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business. During the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern was contingent upon the Company’s ability to successfully implement the Company’s Plan of Reorganization, among other factors. As a result of the effectiveness and implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, there is no longer substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Restricted Cash The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets to the total of the amounts reported in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: (In thousands) Successor Company Predecessor Company June 30, December 31, Cash and cash equivalents $ 127,159 $ 224,037 Restricted cash included in: Other current assets 11,591 3,428 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash in the Statement of Cash Flows (1) $ 138,750 $ 227,465 (1) The Predecessor Company's Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash included in other current assets and restricted cash included in other assets as of December 31, 2018 in the table above exclude $202.9 million classified as current and long-term assets of CCOH. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Leases The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, which created ASC 842, Leases , and all subsequent ASUs relating to this Topic, as of January 1, 2019 (collectively, "ASC 842"). This new lease accounting standard, which supersedes previous lease accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP, results in significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Lessor accounting is also updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the revenue recognition standard ("ASC Topic 606"), which was adopted in 2018. The Company applied the transition provisions of this standard at January 1, 2019 following the optional transition method provided by ASU No. 2018-11; consequently, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements for periods before the date of adoption continue to be presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases and to carry forward the historical lease classification for those leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption. Upon adoption of ASC 842, prepaid and deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. Additionally, deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with ASC Topic 840 were eliminated and recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity, resulting in an increase to equity, net of tax, of $128.9 million . Under ASC Topic 840, such gains were recognized ratably over the lease term as a credit to operating lease expense, and operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included credits of $1.3 million and $2.6 million , respectively, for the amortization of these gains, which were not recognized in the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor), the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor). Adoption of the new standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but it did not have a material impact on our other consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Refer to Note 5, Revenue , and Note 6, Leases , for more information. Intangible Assets and Goodwill During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) . This update eliminated the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Entities are required to 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 early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2017-04 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. During the third quarter of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract . This update requires that a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract follow the internal use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-402 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2018-15 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Reorganizations [Abstract]
EMERGENCE FROM VOLUNTARY REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS	EMERGENCE FROM VOLUNTARY REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS Plan of Reorganization As described in Note 1, on March 14, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases and on April 28, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed a plan of reorganization, which was subsequently amended as the Plan of Reorganization and was confirmed on January 22, 2019. The Debtors then emerged from bankruptcy upon effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization on May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms not defined in this report are defined in the Plan of Reorganization. On or following the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the following occurred: ▪ Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) was separated from, and ceased to be controlled by iHeartCommunications and its subsidiaries. ▪ The existing indebtedness of iHeartCommunications of approximately $16 billion was discharged, the Company entered into the Term Loan Facility ( $3,500 million ) and issued Senior Secured Notes ( $800 million ) and Senior Unsecured Notes ( $1,450 million ), collectively the “Successor Emergence Debt.” ▪ The Company adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. ▪ Shares of the Predecessor Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the Effective Date were canceled, and on the Effective Date, reorganized iHeartMedia issued an aggregate of 56,861,941 shares of iHeartMedia Class A common stock, 6,947,567 shares of Class B common stock and special warrants to purchase 81,453,648 shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock were issued to holders of claims pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. ▪ The following classes of claims received the Successor Emergence Debt and 99.1% of the new equity, as defined in the Plan of Reorganization: ▪ Secured Term Loan / 2019 PGN Claims (Class 4) ▪ Secured Non- 9.0% PGN Due 2019 Claims Other Than Exchange 11.25% PGN Claims (Class 5A) ▪ Secured Exchange 11.25% PGN Claims (Class 5B) ▪ iHC 2021 / Legacy Notes Claims (Class 6) ▪ Guarantor Funded Debt against other Guarantor Debtors Other than CCH and TTWN (Class 7) ▪ The holders of the Guarantor Funded Debt Unsecured Claims Against CCH (Class 7F) received their Pro Rata share of 100 percent of the CCOH Interests held by the Debtors and CC Finco, LLC and Broader Media, LLC. Refer to the discussion below regarding the Separation Transaction. ▪ Settled the following classes of claims in cash: – General Unsecured Claims Against Non-Obligor Debtors (Class 7A); paid in full – General Unsecured Claims Against TTWN Debtors (Class 7B); paid in full – iHC Unsecured Claims (Class 7D); paid 14.44% of allowed claim – Guarantor General Unsecured Claims (Class 7G); paid minimum of 45% and maximum of 55% of allowed claim ▪ The CCOH Due From Claims (Class 8) represent the negotiated claim between iHeartMedia and CCOH, which was settled in cash on the date of emergence at 14.44% . ▪ The Predecessor Company’s common stockholders (Class 9) received their pro rata share of 1% of the new common stock; provided that 0.1% of the new common stock that otherwise would have been distributed to the Company's former sponsors was instead distributed to Holders Legacy Notes Claims. ▪ The Company entered into a new $450.0 million ABL Facility, which was undrawn at emergence. ▪ The Company funded the Guarantor General Unsecured Recovery Cash Pool for $17.5 million in order to settle the Class 7G General Unsecured Claims. ▪ The Company funded the Professional Fee Escrow Account. ▪ On the Effective Date, the iHeartMedia, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Post-Emergence Equity Plan”) became effective. The Post-Emergence Equity Plan allows the Company to grant stock options and restricted stock units representing up to 12,770,387 shares of Class A common stock for key members of management and service providers and up to 1,596,298 for non-employee members of the board of directors. The amounts of Class A common stock reserved under the Post-Emergence Equity Plan were equal to 8% and 1% , respectively, of the Company’s fully-diluted and distributed shares of Class A common stock as of the Effective Date. In addition, as part of the Separation, iHeartCommunications and CCOH consummated the following transactions: ▪ the cash sweep agreement under the then-existing corporate services agreement and any agreements or licenses requiring royalty payments to iHeartMedia by CCOH for trademarks or other intellectual property (“Trademark License Fees”) were terminated; ▪ iHeartCommunications, iHeartMedia, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. and CCOH entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which, the Company or its subsidiaries will provide administrative services historically provided to CCOH by iHeartCommunications for a period of one year after the Effective Date, which may be extended under certain circumstances; ▪ the Trademark License Fees charged to CCOH during the post-petition period were waived by iHeartMedia; ▪ iHeartMedia contributed the rights, title and interest in and to all tradenames, trademarks, service marks, common law marks and other rights related to the Clear Channel tradename (the “CC Intellectual Property”) to CCOH; ▪ iHeartMedia paid $115.8 million to CCOH, which consisted of the $149.0 million payment by iHeartCommunications to CCOH as CCOH’s recovery of its claims under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, partially offset by the $33.2 million net amount payable to iHeartCommunications under the post-petition intercompany balance between iHeartCommunications and CCOH after adjusting for the post-petition Trademark License Fees which were waived as part of the settlement agreement; ▪ iHeartCommunications entered into a revolving loan agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC (“CCOL”) and Clear Channel International, Ltd., wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCOH, to provide a line of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million at the prime rate of interest, which was terminated by CCOL on July 30, 2019 in connection with the closing of an underwritten public offering of common stock by CCOH; and ▪ iHeart Operations, Inc. issued $60.0 million in preferred stock to a third party for cash (see Note 8 - Long-term Debt). FRESH START ACCOUNTING Fresh Start In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. The Company was required to adopt fresh start accounting because (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company's assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, "Business Combinations." The reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after May 1, 2019 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date. Reorganization Value As set forth in the Plan of Reorganization and the Disclosure Statement, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was estimated to be between $8.0 billion and $9.5 billion . Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, the Company estimated the enterprise value to be $8.75 billion , which is the mid-point of the range of enterprise value. Management estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company utilizing the selected publicly traded companies analysis approach, the discounted cash flow analysis (“DCF”) approach and the selected transactions analysis approach. The use of each approach provides corroboration for the other approaches. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the selected publicly traded companies analysis method, management applied valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies to the same operating data of the Company. The selected publicly traded companies analysis identified a group of comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business and markets served, size and geography. The valuation multiples were derived based on historical and projected financial measures of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and applied to projected operating data of the Company. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, management established an estimate of future cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 with a terminal value and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 with a terminal value were based upon certain financial projections and assumptions provided to the Bankruptcy Court. The expected cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included, calculated using the terminal multiple method, which estimates a range of values at which the Successor Company will be valued at the end of the Projection Period based on applying a terminal multiple to final year OIBDAN, which is defined as consolidated operating income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses included within corporate expenses, as well as Depreciation and amortization, Impairment charges and Other operating income (expense), net. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the selected transactions analysis, management applied valuation multiples derived from an analysis of consideration paid and net debt assumed from publicly disclosed merger or acquisition transactions to the broadcast cash flows of the Successor Company. The selected transactions analysis identified companies and assets involved in publicly disclosed merger and acquisition transactions for which the targets had operating and financial characteristics comparable in certain respects to the Successor Company. The following table reconciles the enterprise value per the Plan of Reorganization to the implied value (for fresh start accounting purposes) of the Successor common stock as of the Effective Date: (In thousands, except per share data) Enterprise Value $ 8,750,000 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 63,142 Less: Debt issued upon emergence (5,748,178 ) Finance leases and short-term notes (61,939 ) Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock (60,000 ) Changes in deferred tax liabilities (1) (163,910 ) Noncontrolling interest (8,943 ) Implied value of Successor common stock $ 2,770,172 Shares issued upon emergence (2) 145,263 Per share value $ 19.07 (1) Difference in the assumed effect of deferred taxes in the calculation of enterprise value versus the actual effect of deferred taxes as of May 1. (2) Includes the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Special Warrants issued at emergence. The reconciliation of the Company’s enterprise value to reorganization value as of the Effective Date is as follows: (In thousands) Enterprise Value $ 8,750,000 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 63,142 Current liabilities (excluding Current portion of long-term debt) 426,944 Deferred tax liability 596,850 Other long-term liabilities 54,393 Noncurrent Operating lease obligations 818,879 Reorganization Value $ 10,710,208 Consolidated Balance Sheet The adjustments set forth in the following consolidated balance sheet as of May 1, 2019 reflect the effect of the Separation (reflected in the column "Separation of CCOH Adjustments"), the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Plan of Reorganization that are incremental to the Separation (reflected in the column "Reorganization Adjustments") and the fair value adjustments as a result of applying fresh start accounting (reflected in the column "Fresh Start Adjustments").

Separation of CCOH Adjustments (1) On May 1, 2019, as part of the Separation, the outstanding shares of both classes of CCOH common stock were consolidated such that CCH held all of the outstanding CCOH Class A common stock that was held by subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, through a series of share distributions by other subsidiaries that held CCOH common stock and a conversion of CCOH Class B common stock that CCH held to CCOH Class A common stock. Prior to the Separation, iHeartCommunications owned approximately 89.1% of the economic rights and approximately 99% of the voting rights of CCOH. To complete the Separation, CCOH merged with and into CCH, with CCH surviving the merger and changing its name to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“New CCOH”), and pre-merger shares of CCOH Class A common stock (other than shares of CCOH Class A common stock held by CCH or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CCH) were converted into an equal number of shares of post-merger common stock of New CCOH. iHeartCommunications transferred the post-merger common stock of New CCOH it held to Claimholders pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization but retained 31,269,762 shares. Such retained shares were distributed to two affiliated Claimholders on July 18, 2019. Upon completion of the merger and Separation New CCOH became an independent public company. Upon distribution of the shares held by iHeartCommunications, the Company does not hold any ownership interest in CCOH. The assets and liabilities of CCOH have been classified as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations reflect the assets and liabilities of CCOH, which are presented as discontinued operations as of the Effective Date.

C. Fresh Start Adjustments We have applied fresh start accounting in accordance with ASC 852. Fresh start accounting requires the revaluation of our assets and liabilities to fair value, including both existing and new intangible assets, such as FCC licenses, developed technology, customer relationships and tradenames. Fresh start accounting also requires the elimination of all predecessor earnings or deficits in Accumulated deficit and Accumulated other comprehensive loss. These adjustments reflect the actual amounts recorded as of the Effective Date. (1) Reflects the fair value adjustment as of May 1, 2019 made to accounts receivable to reflect management's best estimate of the expected collectability of accounts receivable balances. (2) Reflects the fair value adjustment as of May 1, 2019 to eliminate certain prepaid expenses related to software implementation costs and other upfront payments. The Company historically incurred third-party implementation fees in connection with installing various cloud-based software products, and these amounts were recorded as prepaid expenses and recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the various contracts. The Company determined that the remaining unamortized costs related to such implementation fees do not provide any rights that result in future economic benefits. In addition, the Company pays signing bonuses to certain of its on-air personalities, and these amounts were recorded as prepaid expenses and recognized as a component of Direct operating expenses over the terms of the various contracts. To the extent these contracts do not contain substantive claw-back provisions, these prepaid amounts do not provide any enforceable rights that result in future economic benefits. Accordingly, the balances related to these contracts as of May 1, 2019 were adjusted to zero. (3) Reflects the fair value adjustment to eliminate receivables related to tenant allowances per certain lease agreements. These receivables were incorporated into the recalculated lease obligations per ASC 842. (4) Reflects the fair value adjustment to recognize the Company’s property, plant and equipment as of May 1, 2019 based on the fair values of such property, plant and equipment. Property was valued using a market approach comparing similar properties to recent market transactions. Equipment and towers were valued primarily using a replacement cost approach. Internally-developed and owned software technology assets were valued primarily using the Royalty Savings Method, similar to the approach used in valuing the Company’s tradenames and trademarks. Estimated royalty rates were determined for each of the software technology assets considering the relative contribution to the Company’s overall profitability as well as available public market information regarding market royalty rates for similar assets. The selected royalty rates were applied to the revenue generated by the software technology assets. The forecasted cash flows expected to be generated as a result of the royalty savings were discounted to present value utilizing a discount rate considering overall business risks and risks associated with the asset being valued. For certain of the software technology assets, the Company used the cost approach which utilized historical financial data regarding development costs and expected future profit associated with the assets. The adjustment to the Company’s property, plant and equipment consists of a $182.9 million increase in tangible property and equipment and a $151.0 million increase in software technology assets (5) Historical goodwill and other intangible assets have been eliminated and the Company has recognized certain intangible assets at estimated current fair values as part of the application of fresh start accounting, with the most material intangible assets being the FCC licenses related to the Company’s 854 radio stations. The Company has also recorded customer-related and marketing-related intangible assets, including the iHeart tradename. (In thousands) Estimated Fair Value Estimated Useful Life FCC licenses $ 2,281,720 (a) Indefinite Customer / advertiser relationships 1,643,670 (b) 5 - 15 years Talent contracts 373,000 (b) 2 - 10 years Trademarks and tradenames 321,928 (b) 7 - 15 years Other 6,808 (c) Total intangible assets upon emergence 4,627,126 Elimination of historical acquired intangible assets $ (2,431,142 ) Fresh start adjustment to acquired intangible assets 2,195,984 (a) FCC licenses. The fair value of the indefinite-lived FCC licenses was determined primarily using the direct valuation method of the Income Approach and, for smaller markets a combination of the Income approach and the Market Approach.

Reorganizations [Abstract]
FRESH START ACCOUNTING	EMERGENCE FROM VOLUNTARY REORGANIZATION UNDER CHAPTER 11 PROCEEDINGS Plan of Reorganization As described in Note 1, on March 14, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed the Chapter 11 Cases and on April 28, 2018, the Company and the other Debtors filed a plan of reorganization, which was subsequently amended as the Plan of Reorganization and was confirmed on January 22, 2019. The Debtors then emerged from bankruptcy upon effectiveness of the Plan of Reorganization on May 1, 2019 (the “Effective Date”). Capitalized terms not defined in this report are defined in the Plan of Reorganization. On or following the Effective Date and pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization, the following occurred: ▪ Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“CCOH”) was separated from, and ceased to be controlled by iHeartCommunications and its subsidiaries. ▪ The existing indebtedness of iHeartCommunications of approximately $16 billion was discharged, the Company entered into the Term Loan Facility ( $3,500 million ) and issued Senior Secured Notes ( $800 million ) and Senior Unsecured Notes ( $1,450 million ), collectively the “Successor Emergence Debt.” ▪ The Company adopted an amended and restated certificate of incorporation and bylaws. ▪ Shares of the Predecessor Company’s issued and outstanding common stock immediately prior to the Effective Date were canceled, and on the Effective Date, reorganized iHeartMedia issued an aggregate of 56,861,941 shares of iHeartMedia Class A common stock, 6,947,567 shares of Class B common stock and special warrants to purchase 81,453,648 shares of Class A common stock or Class B common stock were issued to holders of claims pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. ▪ The following classes of claims received the Successor Emergence Debt and 99.1% of the new equity, as defined in the Plan of Reorganization: ▪ Secured Term Loan / 2019 PGN Claims (Class 4) ▪ Secured Non- 9.0% PGN Due 2019 Claims Other Than Exchange 11.25% PGN Claims (Class 5A) ▪ Secured Exchange 11.25% PGN Claims (Class 5B) ▪ iHC 2021 / Legacy Notes Claims (Class 6) ▪ Guarantor Funded Debt against other Guarantor Debtors Other than CCH and TTWN (Class 7) ▪ The holders of the Guarantor Funded Debt Unsecured Claims Against CCH (Class 7F) received their Pro Rata share of 100 percent of the CCOH Interests held by the Debtors and CC Finco, LLC and Broader Media, LLC. Refer to the discussion below regarding the Separation Transaction. ▪ Settled the following classes of claims in cash: – General Unsecured Claims Against Non-Obligor Debtors (Class 7A); paid in full – General Unsecured Claims Against TTWN Debtors (Class 7B); paid in full – iHC Unsecured Claims (Class 7D); paid 14.44% of allowed claim – Guarantor General Unsecured Claims (Class 7G); paid minimum of 45% and maximum of 55% of allowed claim ▪ The CCOH Due From Claims (Class 8) represent the negotiated claim between iHeartMedia and CCOH, which was settled in cash on the date of emergence at 14.44% . ▪ The Predecessor Company’s common stockholders (Class 9) received their pro rata share of 1% of the new common stock; provided that 0.1% of the new common stock that otherwise would have been distributed to the Company's former sponsors was instead distributed to Holders Legacy Notes Claims. ▪ The Company entered into a new $450.0 million ABL Facility, which was undrawn at emergence. ▪ The Company funded the Guarantor General Unsecured Recovery Cash Pool for $17.5 million in order to settle the Class 7G General Unsecured Claims. ▪ The Company funded the Professional Fee Escrow Account. ▪ On the Effective Date, the iHeartMedia, Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Post-Emergence Equity Plan”) became effective. The Post-Emergence Equity Plan allows the Company to grant stock options and restricted stock units representing up to 12,770,387 shares of Class A common stock for key members of management and service providers and up to 1,596,298 for non-employee members of the board of directors. The amounts of Class A common stock reserved under the Post-Emergence Equity Plan were equal to 8% and 1% , respectively, of the Company’s fully-diluted and distributed shares of Class A common stock as of the Effective Date. In addition, as part of the Separation, iHeartCommunications and CCOH consummated the following transactions: ▪ the cash sweep agreement under the then-existing corporate services agreement and any agreements or licenses requiring royalty payments to iHeartMedia by CCOH for trademarks or other intellectual property (“Trademark License Fees”) were terminated; ▪ iHeartCommunications, iHeartMedia, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. and CCOH entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”) pursuant to which, the Company or its subsidiaries will provide administrative services historically provided to CCOH by iHeartCommunications for a period of one year after the Effective Date, which may be extended under certain circumstances; ▪ the Trademark License Fees charged to CCOH during the post-petition period were waived by iHeartMedia; ▪ iHeartMedia contributed the rights, title and interest in and to all tradenames, trademarks, service marks, common law marks and other rights related to the Clear Channel tradename (the “CC Intellectual Property”) to CCOH; ▪ iHeartMedia paid $115.8 million to CCOH, which consisted of the $149.0 million payment by iHeartCommunications to CCOH as CCOH’s recovery of its claims under the Due from iHeartCommunications Note, partially offset by the $33.2 million net amount payable to iHeartCommunications under the post-petition intercompany balance between iHeartCommunications and CCOH after adjusting for the post-petition Trademark License Fees which were waived as part of the settlement agreement; ▪ iHeartCommunications entered into a revolving loan agreement with Clear Channel Outdoor, LLC (“CCOL”) and Clear Channel International, Ltd., wholly-owned subsidiaries of CCOH, to provide a line of credit in an aggregate amount not to exceed $200 million at the prime rate of interest, which was terminated by CCOL on July 30, 2019 in connection with the closing of an underwritten public offering of common stock by CCOH; and ▪ iHeart Operations, Inc. issued $60.0 million in preferred stock to a third party for cash (see Note 8 - Long-term Debt). FRESH START ACCOUNTING Fresh Start In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company qualified for and adopted fresh start accounting on the Effective Date. The Company was required to adopt fresh start accounting because (i) the holders of existing voting shares of the Predecessor Company received less than 50% of the voting shares of the Successor Company and (ii) the reorganization value of the Company's assets immediately prior to confirmation of the Plan of Reorganization was less than the post-petition liabilities and allowed claims. In accordance with ASC 852, with the application of fresh start accounting, the Company allocated its reorganization value to its individual assets based on their estimated fair values in conformity with ASC 805, "Business Combinations." The reorganization value represents the fair value of the Successor Company's assets before considering liabilities. The excess reorganization value over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible assets is reported as goodwill. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Plan of Reorganization, the consolidated financial statements after May 1, 2019 are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements as of or prior to that date. Reorganization Value As set forth in the Plan of Reorganization and the Disclosure Statement, the enterprise value of the Successor Company was estimated to be between $8.0 billion and $9.5 billion . Based on the estimates and assumptions discussed below, the Company estimated the enterprise value to be $8.75 billion , which is the mid-point of the range of enterprise value. Management estimated the enterprise value of the Successor Company utilizing the selected publicly traded companies analysis approach, the discounted cash flow analysis (“DCF”) approach and the selected transactions analysis approach. The use of each approach provides corroboration for the other approaches. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the selected publicly traded companies analysis method, management applied valuation multiples, derived from the operating data of publicly-traded benchmark companies to the same operating data of the Company. The selected publicly traded companies analysis identified a group of comparable companies giving consideration to lines of business and markets served, size and geography. The valuation multiples were derived based on historical and projected financial measures of revenue and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization and applied to projected operating data of the Company. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the discounted cash flow method, management established an estimate of future cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 with a terminal value and discounted the estimated future cash flows to present value. The expected cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 with a terminal value were based upon certain financial projections and assumptions provided to the Bankruptcy Court. The expected cash flows for the period 2019 to 2022 were derived from earnings forecasts and assumptions regarding growth and margin projections, as applicable. A terminal value was included, calculated using the terminal multiple method, which estimates a range of values at which the Successor Company will be valued at the end of the Projection Period based on applying a terminal multiple to final year OIBDAN, which is defined as consolidated operating income adjusted to exclude non-cash compensation expenses included within corporate expenses, as well as Depreciation and amortization, Impairment charges and Other operating income (expense), net. To estimate enterprise value utilizing the selected transactions analysis, management applied valuation multiples derived from an analysis of consideration paid and net debt assumed from publicly disclosed merger or acquisition transactions to the broadcast cash flows of the Successor Company. The selected transactions analysis identified companies and assets involved in publicly disclosed merger and acquisition transactions for which the targets had operating and financial characteristics comparable in certain respects to the Successor Company. The following table reconciles the enterprise value per the Plan of Reorganization to the implied value (for fresh start accounting purposes) of the Successor common stock as of the Effective Date: (In thousands, except per share data) Enterprise Value $ 8,750,000 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 63,142 Less: Debt issued upon emergence (5,748,178 ) Finance leases and short-term notes (61,939 ) Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock (60,000 ) Changes in deferred tax liabilities (1) (163,910 ) Noncontrolling interest (8,943 ) Implied value of Successor common stock $ 2,770,172 Shares issued upon emergence (2) 145,263 Per share value $ 19.07 (1) Difference in the assumed effect of deferred taxes in the calculation of enterprise value versus the actual effect of deferred taxes as of May 1.

Separation of CCOH Adjustments (1) On May 1, 2019, as part of the Separation, the outstanding shares of both classes of CCOH common stock were consolidated such that CCH held all of the outstanding CCOH Class A common stock that was held by subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, through a series of share distributions by other subsidiaries that held CCOH common stock and a conversion of CCOH Class B common stock that CCH held to CCOH Class A common stock. Prior to the Separation, iHeartCommunications owned approximately 89.1% of the economic rights and approximately 99% of the voting rights of CCOH. To complete the Separation, CCOH merged with and into CCH, with CCH surviving the merger and changing its name to Clear Channel Outdoor Holdings, Inc. (“New CCOH”), and pre-merger shares of CCOH Class A common stock (other than shares of CCOH Class A common stock held by CCH or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of CCH) were converted into an equal number of shares of post-merger common stock of New CCOH. iHeartCommunications transferred the post-merger common stock of New CCOH it held to Claimholders pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization but retained 31,269,762 shares. Such retained shares were distributed to two affiliated Claimholders on July 18, 2019. Upon completion of the merger and Separation New CCOH became an independent public company. Upon distribution of the shares held by iHeartCommunications, the Company does not hold any ownership interest in CCOH. The assets and liabilities of CCOH have been classified as discontinued operations. The discontinued operations reflect the assets and liabilities of CCOH, which are presented as discontinued operations as of the Effective Date. CCOH’s assets and liabilities are adjusted to: (1) eliminate the balance on the Due from iHeartCommunications Note and the balance on the intercompany payable due to iHeartCommunications from CCOH’s consolidated balance sheet, which are intercompany amounts that were eliminated in consolidation; (2) eliminate CCOH’s Noncontrolling interest and treasury shares; and (3) eliminate other intercompany balances.

The estimated remaining deferred tax assets attributed federal and state net operating loss carryforwards upon emergence totaled $114.9 million .

C. Fresh Start Adjustments We have applied fresh start accounting in accordance with ASC 852. Fresh start accounting requires the revaluation of our assets and liabilities to fair value, including both existing and new intangible assets, such as FCC licenses, developed technology, customer relationships and tradenames. Fresh start accounting also requires the elimination of all predecessor earnings or deficits in Accumulated deficit and Accumulated other comprehensive loss. These adjustments reflect the actual amounts recorded as of the Effective Date. (1) Reflects the fair value adjustment as of May 1, 2019 made to accounts receivable to reflect management's best estimate of the expected collectability of accounts receivable balances. (2) Reflects the fair value adjustment as of May 1, 2019 to eliminate certain prepaid expenses related to software implementation costs and other upfront payments. The Company historically incurred third-party implementation fees in connection with installing various cloud-based software products, and these amounts were recorded as prepaid expenses and recognized as a component of selling, general and administrative expense over the term of the various contracts. The Company determined that the remaining unamortized costs related to such implementation fees do not provide any rights that result in future economic benefits. In addition, the Company pays signing bonuses to certain of its on-air personalities, and these amounts were recorded as prepaid expenses and recognized as a component of Direct operating expenses over the terms of the various contracts. To the extent these contracts do not contain substantive claw-back provisions, these prepaid amounts do not provide any enforceable rights that result in future economic benefits. Accordingly, the balances related to these contracts as of May 1, 2019 were adjusted to zero. (3) Reflects the fair value adjustment to eliminate receivables related to tenant allowances per certain lease agreements. These receivables were incorporated into the recalculated lease obligations per ASC 842. (4) Reflects the fair value adjustment to recognize the Company’s property, plant and equipment as of May 1, 2019 based on the fair values of such property, plant and equipment. Property was valued using a market approach comparing similar properties to recent market transactions. Equipment and towers were valued primarily using a replacement cost approach. Internally-developed and owned software technology assets were valued primarily using the Royalty Savings Method, similar to the approach used in valuing the Company’s tradenames and trademarks. Estimated royalty rates were determined for each of the software technology assets considering the relative contribution to the Company’s overall profitability as well as available public market information regarding market royalty rates for similar assets. The selected royalty rates were applied to the revenue generated by the software technology assets. The forecasted cash flows expected to be generated as a result of the royalty savings were discounted to present value utilizing a discount rate considering overall business risks and risks associated with the asset being valued. For certain of the software technology assets, the Company used the cost approach which utilized historical financial data regarding development costs and expected future profit associated with the assets. The adjustment to the Company’s property, plant and equipment consists of a $182.9 million increase in tangible property and equipment and a $151.0 million increase in software technology assets (5) Historical goodwill and other intangible assets have been eliminated and the Company has recognized certain intangible assets at estimated current fair values as part of the application of fresh start accounting, with the most material intangible assets being the FCC licenses related to the Company’s 854 radio stations. The Company has also recorded customer-related and marketing-related intangible assets, including the iHeart tradename. (In thousands) Estimated Fair Value Estimated Useful Life FCC licenses $ 2,281,720 (a) Indefinite Customer / advertiser relationships 1,643,670 (b) 5 - 15 years Talent contracts 373,000 (b) 2 - 10 years Trademarks and tradenames 321,928 (b) 7 - 15 years Other 6,808 (c) Total intangible assets upon emergence 4,627,126 Elimination of historical acquired intangible assets $ (2,431,142 ) Fresh start adjustment to acquired intangible assets 2,195,984 (a) FCC licenses. The fair value of the indefinite-lived FCC licenses was determined primarily using the direct valuation method of the Income Approach and, for smaller markets a combination of the Income approach and the Market Approach.

Transition Services Agreement On the Effective Date, the Company, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (“iHM Management Services”), iHeartCommunications and CCOH entered into a transition services agreement (the “Transition Services Agreement”), pursuant to which iHM Management Services has agreed to provide, or cause the Company, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations or any member of the iHeart Group to provide, CCOH with certain administrative and support services and other assistance which CCOH will utilize in the conduct of its business as such business was conducted prior to the Separation, for one year from the Effective Date (subject to certain rights of CCOH to extend up to one additional year, as described below). The transition services may include, among other things, (a) treasury, payroll and other financial related services, (b) certain executive officer services, (c) human resources and employee benefits, (d) legal and related services, (e) information systems, network and related services, (f) investment services and (g) procurement and sourcing support. The charges for the transition services are generally consistent with the Corporate Services Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2005, by and between iHeartMedia Management Services and CCOH (the “Corporate Services Agreement”), which governed the provision of certain services by the iHeart Group to the Outdoor Group prior to the Separation. The allocation of cost is based on various measures depending on the service provided, which measures include relative revenue, employee headcount, number of users of a service or other factors. CCOH may request an extension of the term for all services or individual services for one-month periods for up to an additional 12 months, and the price for transition services provided during such extended term will be increased for any service other than those identified in the schedules to the Transition Services Agreement as an “IT Service” or any other service the use and enjoyment of which requires the use of another IT Service. CCOH may terminate the Transition Services Agreement with respect to all or any individual service, in whole or in part, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, provided that any co-dependent services must be terminated concurrently. New Tax Matters Agreement On the Effective Date, the Company entered into a new tax matters agreement (the “New Tax Matters Agreement”) by and among the Company, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations, CCH, CCOH and Clear Channel Outdoor, Inc., to allocate the responsibility of the Company and its subsidiaries, on the one hand, and the Outdoor Group, on the other, for the payment of taxes arising prior and subsequent to, and in connection with, the Separation. The New Tax Matters Agreement requires that the Company and iHeartCommunications indemnify CCOH and its subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against (i) any taxes other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes imposed on the Company or any of its subsidiaries (other than CCOH and its subsidiaries) in connection with the Separation, (ii) any transfer taxes and indirect gains taxes arising in connection with the Separation, and (iii) fifty percent of the amount by which the amount of taxes (other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes) imposed on CCOH or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation that are paid to the applicable taxing authority on or before the third anniversary of the separation of CCOH exceeds $5 million , provided that, the obligations of the Company and iHeartCommunications to indemnify CCOH and its subsidiaries with respect taxes (other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes) imposed on CCOH or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation will not exceed $15 million . In addition, if the Company or its subsidiaries use certain tax attributes of CCOH and its subsidiaries (including net operating losses, foreign tax credits and other credits) and such use results in a decrease in the tax liability of the Company or its subsidiaries, then the Company is required to reimburse CCOH for the use of such attributes based on the amount of tax benefit realized. The New Tax Matters Agreement provides that any reduction of the tax attributes of CCOH and its subsidiaries as a result of cancellation of indebtedness income realized in connection with the Chapter 11 Cases is not treated as a use of such attributes (and therefore does not require the Company or iHeartCommunications to reimburse CCOH for such reduction). The New Tax Matters Agreement also requires that (i) CCOH indemnify the Company for any income taxes paid by the Company on behalf of CCOH and its subsidiaries or, with respect to any income tax return for which CCOH or any of its subsidiaries joins with the Company or any of subsidiaries in filing a consolidated, combined or unitary return, the amount of taxes that would have been incurred by CCOH and its subsidiaries if they had filed a separate return, and (ii) except as described in the preceding paragraph, CCOH indemnify the Company and its subsidiaries, and their respective directors, officers and employees, and hold them harmless, on an after-tax basis, from and against any taxes other than transfer taxes or indirect gains taxes imposed on CCOH or any of its subsidiaries in connection with the Separation. Any tax liability of CCH attributable to any taxable period ending on or before the date of the completion of the Separation, other than any such tax liability resulting from CCH’s being a successor of CCOH in connection with the merger of CCOH with and into CCOH or arising from the operation of the business of CCOH and its subsidiaries after the merger of CCOH with and into CCH, will not be treated as a liability of CCOH and its subsidiaries for purposes of the New Tax Matters Agreement.

Trade and barter revenues and expenses from continuing operations, which are included in consolidated revenue and selling, general and administrative expenses, respectively, were as follows: Successor Company Predecessor Company Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, Three Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2019 2019 2018 Trade and barter revenues $ 29,699 $ 10,349 $ 35,992 Trade and barter expenses 28,023 8,474 31,688 Successor Company Predecessor Company Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2019 2019 2018 Trade and barter revenues $ 29,699 $ 65,934 $ 89,938 Trade and barter expenses 28,023 58,330 96,220 Deferred Revenue The following tables show the Company’s deferred revenue balance from contracts with customers, excluding discontinued operations: Successor Company Predecessor Company Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, Three Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2019 2019 2018 Deferred revenue from contracts with customers: Beginning balance (1) $ 151,773 $ 155,114 $ 166,429 Revenue recognized, included in beginning balance (59,018 ) (43,172 ) (59,450 ) Additions, net of revenue recognized during period, and other 66,997 39,533 53,390 Ending balance 159,752 $ 151,475 $ 160,369 Successor Company Predecessor Company Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, Six Months Ended June 30, (In thousands) 2019 2019 2018 Deferred revenue from contracts with customers: Beginning balance (1) $ 151,773 $ 148,720 $ 155,228 Revenue recognized, included in beginning balance (59,018 ) (76,473 ) (82,215 ) Additions, net of revenue recognized during period, and other 66,997 79,228 87,356 Ending balance $ 159,752 $ 151,475 $ 160,369 (1) Deferred revenue from contracts with customers, which excludes other sources of deferred revenue that are not related to contracts with customers, is included within deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets, depending upon when revenue is expected to be recognized. As described in Note 3, as part of the fresh start accounting adjustments on May 1, 2019, deferred revenue from contracts with customers was adjusted to its estimated fair value. The Company’s contracts with customers generally have terms of one year or less; however, as of June 30, 2019 , the Company expects to recognize $199.8 million of revenue in future periods for remaining performance obligations from current contracts with customers that have an original expected duration greater than one year, with substantially all of this amount to be recognized over the next five years . Commissions related to the Company’s media representation business have been excluded from this amount as they are contingent upon future sales. Revenue from Leases As of June 30, 2019 , the future lease payments to be received by the Successor Company are as follows: (In thousands) 2019 $ 556 2020 1,028 2021 959 2022 700 2023 656 Thereafter 10,602 Total $ 14,501

Leases [Abstract]
LEASES	LEASES The Company enters into operating lease contracts for land, buildings, structures and other equipment. Arrangements are evaluated at inception to determine whether such arrangements contain a lease. Operating leases primarily include land and building lease contracts and leases of radio towers. Arrangements to lease building space consist primarily of the rental of office space, but may also include leases of other equipment, including automobiles and copiers. Operating leases are reflected on the Company's balance sheet within Operating lease right-of-use assets and the related short-term and long-term liabilities are included within Current and Noncurrent operating lease liabilities, respectively. The Company's finance leases are included within Property, plant and equipment with the related liabilities included within Long-term debt or within Liabilities subject to compromise. ROU assets represent the right to use an underlying asset for the lease term, and lease liabilities represent the obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the respective lease term. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Certain of the Company's operating lease agreements include rental payments that are adjusted periodically for inflationary changes. Payments due to changes in inflationary adjustments are included within variable rent expense, which is accounted for separately from periodic straight-line lease expense. Amounts related to insurance and property taxes in lease arrangements when billed on a pass-through basis are allocated to the lease and non-lease components of the lease based on their relative standalone selling prices. Certain of the Company's leases provide options to extend the terms of the agreements. Generally, renewal periods are excluded from minimum lease payments when calculating the lease liabilities as, for most leases, the Company does not consider exercise of such options to be reasonably certain. As a result, unless a renewal option is considered reasonably assured, the optional terms and related payments are not included within the lease liability. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants. The implicit rate within the Company's lease agreements is generally not determinable. As such, the Company uses the incremental borrowing rate ("IBR") to determine the present value of lease payments at the commencement of the lease. The IBR, as defined in ASC 842, is "the rate of interest that a lessee would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment." In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted the IBR used to value the Company's ROU assets and operating lease liabilities at the Effective Date (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting ). In addition, upon adoption of ASC 852 in the first quarter of 2019, the Company did not elect the practical expedient to combine non-lease components with the associated lease components. Upon application of fresh start accounting on the Effective Date, the Company elected to use the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component for all classes of the Company's assets. The following tables provide the components of lease expense included within the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor), the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor): Successor Company Predecessor Company (In thousands) Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 Operating lease expense $ 25,439 $ 11,302 Variable lease expense $ 3,447 $ 150 Successor Company Predecessor Company (In thousands) Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 Operating lease expense $ 25,439 $ 44,667 Variable lease expense $ 3,447 $ 476 The following table provides the weighted average remaining lease term and the weighted average discount rate for the Company's leases as of June 30, 2019 (Successor): June 30, Operating lease weighted average remaining lease term (in years) 14.0 Operating lease weighted average discount rate 6.54 % As of June 30, 2019 (Successor), the Company’s future maturities of operating lease liabilities were as follows: (In thousands) 2019 $ 60,870 2020 136,837 2021 126,445 2022 119,453 2023 106,385 Thereafter 841,655 Total lease payments $ 1,391,645 Less: Effect of discounting 508,729 Total operating lease liability $ 882,916 The following table provides supplemental cash flow information related to leases for the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor): Successor Company Predecessor Company (In thousands) Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 Cash paid for amounts included in measurement of operating lease liabilities $ 23,400 $ 44,888 Lease liabilities arising from obtaining right-of-use assets (1) $ 3,194 $ 913,598 (1) Lease liabilities from obtaining right-of-use assets include transition liabilities upon adoption of ASC 842, as well as new leases entered into during Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor), Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor). Upon adoption of fresh start accounting upon Emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases, the Company increased its operating lease obligation by $459.0 million to reflect its operating lease obligation as estimated fair value (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting).

Property, Plant and Equipment [Abstract]
PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL	PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT, INTANGIBLE ASSETS AND GOODWILL Property, Plant and Equipment The Company’s property, plant and equipment consisted of the following classes of assets as of June 30, 2019 (Successor) and December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively: (In thousands) Successor Company Predecessor Company June 30, December 31, Land, buildings and improvements $ 375,661 $ 427,501 Towers, transmitters and studio equipment 152,274 365,991 Furniture and other equipment 280,726 591,601 Construction in progress 42,429 43,809 851,090 1,428,902 Less: accumulated depreciation 16,858 926,700 Property, plant and equipment, net $ 834,232 $ 502,202 In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted Property, plant and equipment to their respective fair values at the Effective Date (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting ). Indefinite-lived Intangible Assets The Company’s indefinite-lived intangible assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses in its Audio segment. In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted its FCC licenses to their respective estimated fair values as of the Effective Date of $2,281.7 million (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting ). The Company performs its annual impairment test on goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets, including FCC licenses, as of July 1 of each year. In addition, the Company tests for impairment of intangible assets whenever events and circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. During the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019, the Predecessor Company recognized non-cash impairment charges of $91.4 million in relation to indefinite-lived FCC licenses as a result of an increase in the weighted average cost of capital used in performing the annual impairment test. Other Intangible Assets Other intangible assets include definite-lived intangible assets and permanent easements. The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets primarily include customer and advertiser relationships, talent and representation contracts, trademarks and tradenames 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. 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 amortized cost. In connection with the Company's emergence from bankruptcy and in accordance with ASC 852, the Company applied the provisions of fresh start accounting to its Consolidated Financial Statements on the Effective Date. As a result, the Company adjusted Other intangible assets to their respective fair values at the Effective Date (see Note 3 - Fresh Start Accounting). The following table presents the gross carrying amount and accumulated amortization for each major class of other intangible assets as of June 30, 2019 (Successor) and December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively: (In thousands) Successor Company Predecessor Company June 30, 2019 December 31, 2018 Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Gross Carrying Amount Accumulated Amortization Customer / advertiser relationships 1,645,880 (29,095 ) 1,326,636 (1,278,885 ) Talent contracts 373,000 (8,240 ) 164,933 (148,578 ) Trademarks and tradenames 321,977 (4,977 ) — — Other 7,057 (195 ) 376,978 (240,662 ) Total $ 2,347,914 $ (42,507 ) $ 1,868,547 $ (1,668,125 ) Total amortization expense related to definite-lived intangible assets for the Successor Company for the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 was $42.5 million .

As of the Petition Date, the Company ceased making principal and interest payments, and ceased accruing interest expense in relation to long-term debt reclassified as Liabilities subject to compromise during the Predecessor period. The Company’s weighted average interest rate was 7.1% and 9.9% as of June 30, 2019 (Successor) and December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. The aggregate market value of the Company’s debt based on market prices for which quotes were available was approximately $5.9 billion and $8.7 billion as of June 30, 2019 (Successor) and December 31, 2018 (Predecessor), respectively. Under the fair value hierarchy established by ASC 820-10-35, the market value of the Successor Company’s debt is classified as either Level 1 or Level 2. Asset-based Revolving Credit Facility due 2023 On the Effective Date, iHeartCommunications, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “ABL Credit Agreement”) with iHeartMedia Capital I, LLC, the direct parent of iHeartCommunications (“Capital I”), as guarantor, certain subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, as guarantors, Citibank, N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto from time to time, governing the ABL Facility. The ABL Facility includes a letter of credit sub-facility and a swingline loan sub-facility. Size and Availability The ABL Facility provides for a senior secured asset-based revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of up to $450.0 million , with amounts available from time to time (including in respect of letters of credit) equal to the lesser of (A) the borrowing base, which equals the sum of (i) 90.0% of the eligible accounts receivable of iHeartCommunications and the subsidiary guarantors and (ii) 100% of qualified cash, each subject to customary reserves and eligibility criteria, and (B) the aggregate revolving credit commitments. Subject to certain conditions, iHeartCommunications may at any time request one or more increases in the amount of revolving credit commitments, in an amount up to the sum of (x) $150.0 million and (y) the amount by which the borrowing base exceeds the aggregate revolving credit commitments. Interest Rate and Fees Borrowings under the ABL Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate plus, at iHeartCommunications’ option, either (1) a eurocurrency rate or (2) a base rate. The applicable margin for borrowings under the ABL Facility range from 1.25% to 1.75% for eurocurrency borrowings and from 0.25% to 0.75% for base-rate borrowings, in each case, depending on average excess availability under the ABL Facility based on the most recently delivered borrowing base certificate. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the ABL Facility, iHeartCommunications is required to pay a commitment fee to the lenders under the ABL Facility in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder. The commitment fee rate ranges from 0.25% to 0.375% per annum dependent upon average unused commitments during the prior quarter. iHeartCommunications may also pay customary letter of credit fees. Maturity Borrowings under the ABL Facility will mature, and lending commitments thereunder will terminate on June 14, 2023. Prepayments If at any time, the sum of the outstanding amounts under the ABL Facility exceeds the lesser of (i) the borrowing base and (ii) the aggregate commitments under the facility (such lesser amount, the “line cap”), iHeartCommunications is required to repay outstanding loans and cash collateralize letters of credit in an aggregate amount equal to such excess. iHeartCommunications may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the ABL Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurocurrency rate loans. Any voluntary prepayments made by iHeartCommunications will not reduce iHeartCommunications’ commitments under the ABL Facility. Guarantees and Security The ABL Facility is guaranteed by, subject to certain exceptions, the guarantors of iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan Facility. All obligations under the ABL Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured by a perfected security interest in the accounts receivable and related assets of iHeartCommunications’ and the guarantors’ accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof that is senior to the security interest of iHeartCommunications’ Term Loan Facility in such accounts receivable, qualified cash and related assets and proceeds thereof, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions. Certain Covenants and Events of Default If borrowing availability is less than the greater of (a) $40.0 million and (b) 10% of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility, in each case, for two consecutive business days (a “Trigger Event”), iHeartCommunications will be required to comply with a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.00 to 1.00 for fiscal quarters ending on or after the occurrence of the Trigger Event, and must continue to comply with this minimum fixed charge coverage ratio until borrowing availability exceeds the greater of (x) $40.0 million and (y) 10% of the aggregate commitments under the ABL Facility, in each case, for 20 consecutive calendar days, at which time the Trigger Event shall no longer be deemed to be occurring. Term Loan Facility due 2026 On the Effective Date, iHeartCommunications, as borrower, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) with Capital I, as guarantor, certain subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications, as guarantors, and Citibank N.A., as administrative and collateral agent, governing the approximately $3.5 billion Term Loan Facility. On the Effective Date, iHeartCommunications issued an aggregate of approximately $3.5 billion principal amount of senior secured term loans under the Term Loan Facility to certain Claimholders pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The Term Loan Facility matures on May 1, 2026. As described below, on August 7, 2019, the proceeds from the issuance of $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.25% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 was used, together with cash on hand, to prepay at par $740.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the Term Loan Facility due 2026. Interest Rate and Fees Term loans under the Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the applicable rate plus, at iHeartCommunications’ option, either (1) a base rate or (2) a eurocurrency rate. The applicable rate for such term loans is 3.00% with respect to base rate loans and 4.00% with respect to eurocurrency rate loans. Collateral and Guarantees The Term Loan Facility is guaranteed by Capital I and each of iHeartCommunications’ existing and future material wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions. All obligations under the Term Loan Facility, and the guarantees of those obligations, are secured, subject to permitted liens and other exceptions, by a first priority lien in substantially all of the assets of iHeartCommunications and all of the guarantors’ assets, including a lien on the capital stock of iHeartCommunications and certain of its subsidiaries owned by a guarantor, other than the accounts receivable and related assets of iHeartCommunications and all of the subsidiary guarantors, and by a second priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets securing iHeartCommunications’ ABL Facility. Prepayments iHeartCommunications is required to prepay outstanding term loans under the Term Loan Facility, subject to certain exceptions, with: • 50% (which percentage may be reduced to 25% and to 0% based upon iHeartCommunications’ first lien leverage ratio) of iHeartCommunications’ annual excess cash flow, subject to customary credits, reductions and exclusions; • 100% (which percentage may be reduced to 50% and 0% based upon iHeartCommunications’ first lien leverage ratio) of the net cash proceeds of sales or other dispositions of the assets of iHeartCommunications or its wholly owned restricted subsidiaries, subject to reinvestment rights and certain other exceptions; and • 100% of the net cash proceeds of any incurrence of debt, other than debt permitted under the Term Loan Facility. iHeartCommunications may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the Term Loan Facility at any time, without prepayment premium or penalty, except in connection with a repricing event within nine months of the Effective Date and subject to customary “breakage” costs with respect to eurocurrency loans. Certain Covenants and Events of Default The Term Loan Facility does not include any financial covenants. However, the Term Loan Facility includes negative covenants that, subject to significant exceptions, limit Capital I’s ability and the ability of its restricted subsidiaries (including iHeartCommunications) to, among other things: • incur additional indebtedness; • create liens on assets; • engage in mergers, consolidations, liquidations and dissolutions; • sell assets; • pay dividends and distributions or repurchase Capital I’s capital stock; • make investments, loans, or advances; • prepay certain junior indebtedness; • engage in certain transactions with affiliates; • amend material agreements governing certain junior indebtedness; and • change lines of business. The Term Loan Facility includes certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default, including but not limited to, payment defaults, breach of representations and warranties, covenant defaults, cross defaults to certain indebtedness, certain bankruptcy-related events, certain events under ERISA, material judgments and a change of control. If an event of default occurs, the lenders under the Term Loan Facility are entitled to take various actions, including the acceleration of all amounts due under the Term Loan Facility and all actions permitted to be taken under the loan documents relating thereto or applicable law. 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 On the Effective Date, iHeartCommunications entered into an indenture (the “Senior Secured Notes Indenture”) with Capital I, as guarantor, the subsidiary guarantors party thereto, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, governing the $800.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.375% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 that were issued to certain Claimholders pursuant to the Plan of Reorganization. The Senior Secured Notes mature on May 1, 2026 and bear interest at a rate of 6.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2020. The Senior Secured Notes are guaranteed on a senior secured basis by Capital I and the subsidiaries of iHeartCommunications that guarantee the Term Loan Facility or other credit facilities or capital markets debt securities. The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees rank equally in right of payment with all of iHeartCommunications’ and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is not expressly subordinated to the Senior Secured Notes (including the Senior Unsecured Notes), effectively equal with iHeartCommunications’ and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness secured by a first priority lien on the collateral securing the Senior Secured Notes, effectively subordinated in right of payment to all of iHeartCommunications’ and the guarantors’ existing and future indebtedness that is secured by assets that are not part of the collateral securing the Senior Secured Notes, to the extent of the value of such assets, and structurally subordinated in right of payment to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any subsidiary of iHeartCommunications that is not a guarantor of the Senior Secured Notes. The Senior Secured Notes and the related guarantees are secured, subject to permitted liens and certain other exceptions, by a first priority lien on the capital stock of iHeartCommunications and substantially all of the assets of iHeartCommunications and the guarantors, other than accounts receivable and related assets, and by a second priority lien on accounts receivable and related assets securing the ABL Facility. iHeartCommunications may redeem the Senior Secured Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time prior to May 1, 2022, at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Senior Secured Notes being redeemed, plus an applicable premium and plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. iHeartCommunications may redeem the Senior Secured Notes at its option, in whole or in part, on or after May 1, 2022, at the redemption prices set forth in the Senior Secured Notes Indenture plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.

The Senior Unsecured Notes mature on May 1, 2027 and bear interest at a rate of 8.375% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on May 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on November 1, 2019.

Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Stock On the Effective Date, in accordance with the Plan of Reorganization, iHeart Operations issued 60,000 shares of its Series A Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "iHeart Operations Preferred Stock"), having an aggregate initial liquidation preference of $60.0 million for a cash purchase price of $60.0 million . The iHeart Operations Preferred Stock was purchased by a third party investor. As of June 30, 2019, the liquidation preference of the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock was approximately $60.0 million .

Dividends will be payable on the liquidation preference. Unless all accrued and unpaid dividends on the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock are paid in full, no dividends or distributions may be paid on any equity interests of iHeartMedia or its subsidiaries other than iHeart Operations, and no such equity interests may be repurchased or redeemed (subject to certain exceptions that are specified in the certificate of designation for the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock).

At any time on or after the third anniversary of the issue date, the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock may be redeemed at the option of iHeart Operations, in whole or in part, for cash at a redemption price equal to the liquidation preference per share. Upon (i) a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of iHeart Operations, iHeartMedia or iHeartCommunications, together with the subsidiaries of such entity, taken as a whole, (ii) a bankruptcy event, (iii) a change of control, (iv) a sale or transfer of all or substantially all of iHeart Operations’, iHeartMedia’s or iHeartCommunications’ assets and the assets of such entity’s subsidiaries, taken as a whole in a single transaction (other than to iHeartMedia or any of its subsidiaries), or a series of transactions, (v) an acceleration or payment default of indebtedness of iHeart Operations, iHeartMedia or any of its subsidiaries of $100 million or more or (vi) consummation of certain equity offerings of iHeartMedia, iHeart Operations or iHeartCommunications or certain significant subsidiaries, then any holder of shares of iHeart Operations Preferred Stock may require iHeartMedia to purchase such holder’s shares of iHeart Operations Preferred Stock at a purchase price equal to (a) the liquidation preference plus a make-whole premium, if such purchase is consummated prior to the third anniversary of the issue date or (b) the liquidation preference, if the purchase is consummated on or after the third anniversary of the issue date. The shares of iHeart Operations Preferred Stock include repurchase rights, pursuant to which the holders may require iHeartMedia or iHeartCommunications to purchase the iHeart Operations Preferred Stock after the fifth anniversary of the issue date.

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. Chapter 11 Cases iHeartCommunications' filing of the Chapter 11 Cases constituted an event of default that accelerated its obligations under its debt agreements. Due to the Chapter 11 Cases, however, the creditors' ability to exercise remedies under iHeartCommunications' debt agreements were stayed as of March 14, 2018, the Petition Date, and continue to be stayed. On March 21, 2018, Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB ("WSFS"), solely in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027, and not in its individual capacity, filed an adversary proceeding against the Company in the Chapter 11 Cases. In the complaint, WSFS alleged, among other things, that the "springing lien" provisions of the priority guarantee notes indentures and the priority guarantee notes security agreements amounted to "hidden encumbrances" on the Company's property, to which the holders of the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027 were entitled to "equal and ratable" treatment. On March 26, 2018, Delaware Trust Co. ("Delaware Trust"), in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 14% Senior Notes due 2021, filed a motion to intervene as a plaintiff in the adversary proceeding filed by WSFS. In the complaint, Delaware Trust alleged, among other things, that the indenture governing the 14% Senior Notes due 2021 also has its own "negative pledge" covenant, and, therefore, to the extent the relief sought by WSFS in its adversary proceeding is warranted, the holders of the 14% Senior Notes due 2021 are also entitled to the same "equal and ratable" liens on the same property. On April 6, 2018, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the adversary proceeding and a hearing on such motion was held on May 7, 2018. We answered the complaint and completed discovery. The trial was held on October 24, 2018. On January 15, 2019, the Bankruptcy Court entered judgment in the Company's favor denying all relief sought by WSFS and all other parties. Pursuant to a settlement (the “Legacy Plan Settlement”) with WSFS and certain consenting Legacy Noteholders of all issues related to confirmation of the Company's plan of reorganization, on May 1, 2019 upon the Company's confirmed plan of reorganization becoming effective, this adversary proceeding was deemed withdrawn and/or dismissed, with respect to all parties thereto, with prejudice and in its entirety. On October 9, 2018, WSFS, solely in its capacity as successor indenture trustee to the 6.875% Senior Notes due 2018 and 7.25% Senior Notes due 2027, and not in its individual capacity, filed an adversary proceeding against Clear Channel Holdings, Inc. (“CCH”) and certain shareholders of iHeartMedia. The named shareholder defendants are Bain Capital LP; Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P.; Abrams Capital L.P.; and Highfields Capital Management L.P. In the complaint, WSFS alleged, among other things, that the shareholder defendants engaged in a “pattern of inequitable and bad faith conduct, including the abuse of their insider positions to benefit themselves at the expense of third-party creditors including particularly the Legacy Noteholders.” The complaint asks the court to grant relief in the form of equitable subordination of the shareholder defendants’ term loan, priority guarantee notes and 2021 notes claims to any and all claims of the legacy noteholders. In addition, the complaint seeks to have any votes to accept the Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization by Abrams and Highfields on account of their 2021 notes claims, and any votes to accept the Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization by defendant CCH on account of its junior notes claims, to be designated and disqualified. The Court held a pre-trial conference and oral argument on October 18, 2018. Pursuant to the Legacy Plan Settlement, on May 1, 2019 upon the Company's confirmed Plan of Reorganization becoming effective, this adversary proceeding was deemed withdrawn and/or dismissed, with respect to all parties thereto, with prejudice and in its entirety. Stockholder Litigation On May 9, 2016, a stockholder of 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 named as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners, L.P., the Company's pre-bankruptcy private equity sponsors and pre-bankruptcy majority owners (together, the "Former Sponsor Defendants"), and the members of CCOH's board of directors. CCOH also was named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleged that CCOH had 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 Former Sponsor Defendants to the detriment of CCOH and its minority stockholders. The plaintiff sought, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH and that the Company, iHeartCommunications and the Former 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 Former 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. The oral hearing on the appeal was held on October 11, 2017. On October 12, 2017, the Supreme Court of Delaware affirmed the lower court's ruling, dismissing the case. On December 29, 2017, another stockholder of CCOH filed a derivative lawsuit (the “Norfolk Lawsuit”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Norfolk County Retirement System, v. iHeartMedia, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2017-0930-JRS. The complaint names as defendants the Company, iHeartCommunications, the Former Sponsor Defendants, and the members of CCOH's board of directors. CCOH is named as a nominal defendant. The complaint alleges that CCOH has been harmed by the CCOH Board’s November 2017 decision to extend the maturity date of the intercompany revolving note (the “Third Amendment”) at what the complaint describes as far-below-market interest rates. The plaintiff is seeking, among other things, a ruling that the defendants breached their fiduciary duties to CCOH, a modification of the Third Amendment to bear a commercially reasonable rate of interest, and an order requiring disgorgement of all profits, benefits and other compensation obtained by defendants as a result of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duties. On March 7, 2018, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss plaintiff's verified derivative complaint for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. On March 16, 2018, the Company filed a Notice of Suggestion of Pendency of Bankruptcy and Automatic Stay of Proceedings. On May 4, 2018, plaintiff filed its response to the motion to dismiss. On June 26, 2018, the defendants filed a reply brief in further support of their motion to dismiss. Oral argument on the motion to dismiss was held on September 20, 2018. On August 27, 2018, the same stockholder of CCOH that had filed a derivative lawsuit against the Company and others in 2016 (GAMCO Asset Management Inc.) filed a putative class action lawsuit (the “GAMCO II Lawsuit”) in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. v. Hendrix, et al., C.A. No. 2018-0633-JRS. The complaint names as defendants the Former Sponsor Defendants and the members of CCOH’s board of directors. The complaint alleges that minority shareholders in CCOH during the period November 8, 2017 to March 14, 2018 were harmed by decisions of the CCOH Board and the intercompany note committee of the Board relating to the Intercompany Note. The plaintiff seeks, among other things, a ruling that the CCOH Board, the intercompany note committee, and the Sponsor Defendants breached their fiduciary duties and that the Sponsor Defendants aided and abetted the Board’s breach of fiduciary duty; and an award of damages, together with pre- and post-judgment interests, to the putative class of minority shareholders. On December 16, 2018, the Debtors, CCOH, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., and Norfolk County Retirement System entered into a settlement (the “CCOH Separation Settlement”) of all claims, objections, and other causes of action that have been or could be asserted by or on behalf of CCOH, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., and/or Norfolk County Retirement System by and among the Debtors, CCOH, GAMCO Asset Management, Inc., certain individual defendants in the GAMCO Asset Management, Inc. action and/or the Norfolk County Retirement System action, and the private equity sponsor defendants in such actions. The CCOH Separation Settlement provides for the consensual separation of the Debtors and CCOH, including approximately $149.0 million of recovery to CCOH on account of its claim against iHeartCommunications in the Chapter 11 cases, a $200 million unsecured revolving line of credit from certain of the Debtors to CCOH for a period of up to three years, the transfer of certain of the Debtors’ intellectual property to CCOH, the waiver by the Debtors of the setoff for the value of the transferred intellectual property, mutual releases, the termination of the cash sweep under the existing Corporate Services Agreement, the termination of any agreements or licenses requiring royalty payments from CCOH to the Debtors for trademarks or other intellectual property, the waiver of any post-petition amounts owed by CCOH relating to such trademarks or other intellectual property, and the execution of a new transition services agreement and other separation documents. The CCOH Separation Settlement was approved by the Bankruptcy Court and the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas on January 22, 2019. On May 1, 2019, the Debtors’ Plan of Reorganization went effective, and the Norfolk Lawsuit and GAMCO II Lawsuit were each subsequently dismissed with prejudice.

The effective tax rate for continuing operations of the Predecessor Company for Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) was 1.1% and 0.4% , respectively. The income tax expense for the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) primarily consists of the income tax impacts from reorganization and fresh start adjustments, including adjustments to our valuation allowance. The Company recorded income tax benefits of $102.9 million for reorganization adjustments in the Predecessor period, primarily consisting of: (1)tax expense for the reduction in federal and state net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards from the cancellation of debt income ("CODI") realized upon emergence; (2) tax benefit for the reduction in deferred tax liabilities attributed primarily to long-term debt that was discharged upon emergence; (3) tax benefit for the effective settlement of liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits that were discharged upon emergence; and (4) tax benefit for the reduction in valuation allowance resulting from the adjustments described above. The Company recorded income tax expense of $185.4 million for fresh start adjustments in the Predecessor period, consisting of $529.1 million tax expense for the increase in deferred tax liabilities resulting from fresh start accounting adjustments, which was partially offset by $343.7 million tax benefit for the reduction in the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 (Predecessor) was 130.3% and 5.7% , respectively. The 2018 effective tax rates were primarily impacted by the valuation allowance recorded against deferred tax assets resulting from current period interest expense limitation carryforward in U.S. federal and certain state jurisdictions due to uncertainty regarding our ability to realize those assets in future periods. As a result of the Plan of Reorganization, the Company expects the majority of its federal NOL carryforwards and certain state NOL carryforwards to be reduced or eliminated as a result of the CODI realized from the bankruptcy emergence. Pursuant to the attribute reduction and ordering rules set forth in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), the reduction in the Company’s tax attributes for excludible CODI does not occur until the last day of the Company’s tax year, December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the tax adjustments recorded in the Predecessor period represent our best estimate using all available information at June 30, 2019. Additionally, the Company recognized a capital loss for tax purposes as a result of the series of transactions to effect the Plan of Reorganization. This capital loss may be carried forward to offset capital gains recognized by the Company in the next five years, subject to annual limitations under Section 382 of the Code. The deferred tax asset associated with the capital loss carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance due to significant uncertainty regarding the Company’s ability to utilize the carryforward prior to its expiration. The final tax impacts of the bankruptcy emergence, as well as the Plan of Reorganization’s overall effect on the Company’s tax attributes and tax basis in assets will be refined based on the Company’s final December 31, 2019 financial position as required under the Code. The final tax impacts on the companies tax attributes could change significantly from the current estimates.

Class B Common Stock Holders of shares of the Successor Company's Class B common stock are not entitled to vote for the election of directors or, in general, on any other matter submitted to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, but are entitled to one vote per share on the following matters: (a) any amendment or modification of any specific rights or obligations of the holders of Class B common stock that does not similarly affect the rights or obligations of the holders of Class A common stock, in which case the holders of Class B Common Stock will be entitled to a separate class vote, with each share of Class B common stock having one vote; and (b) to the extent submitted to a vote of our stockholders, (i) the retention or dismissal of outside auditors by the Company, (ii) any dividends or distributions to our stockholders, (ii) any material sale of assets, recapitalization, merger, business combination, consolidation, exchange of stock or other similar reorganization of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iv) the adoption of any amendment to our certificate of incorporation, (v) other than in connection with any management equity or similar plan adopted by the Company's Board, any authorization or issuance of equity interests, or any security or instrument convertible into or exchangeable for equity interests, in the Company or any of its subsidiaries, and (vi) the liquidation of the Company, in which case in respect to any such vote concerning the matters described in clause (b), the holders of Class B common stock are entitled to vote with the holders of the Class A common stock, with each share of common stock having one vote and voting together as a single class. Holders of shares of the Successor Company's Class B common stock are generally entitled to convert shares of Class B common stock into shares of Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis, subject to the Company’s ability to restrict conversion in order to comply with the Communications Act and FCC regulations. Holders of shares of the Successor Company's Class B common stock are entitled to receive dividends when and if declared by the Company's Board out of funds legally available therefor and whenever any dividend is made on the shares of the Successor Company's Class A common stock subject to certain exceptions set forth in our certificate of incorporation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of shares of the Successor Company's Class B common stock will be entitled to receive pro rata with holders of the Successor Company's Class A common stock our remaining assets available for distribution. Special Warrants Each Special Warrant issued under the special warrant agreement entered into in connection with the Reorganization may be exercised by its holder to purchase one share of Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, unless the Company in its sole discretion believes such exercise would, alone or in combination with any other existing or proposed ownership of common stock, result in, subject to certain exceptions, (a) such exercising holder owning more than 4.99 percent of the Successor Company's outstanding Class A common stock, (b) more than 22.5 percent of the Successor Company's capital stock or voting interests being owned directly or indirectly by foreign individuals or entities, (c) the Company exceeding any foreign ownership threshold set by the FCC pursuant to a declaratory ruling or specific approval requirement or (d) the Company violating any provision of the Communications Act or restrictions on ownership or transfer imposed by the Company's certificate of incorporation or the decisions, rules and policies of the FCC. Any holder exercising Special Warrants must complete and timely deliver to the warrant agent the required exercise forms and certifications required under the special warrant agreement. To the extent there are any dividends declared or distributions made with respect to the Successor Class A common stock or Successor Class B common stock, those dividends or distributions will also be made to holders of Special Warrants concurrently and on a pro rata basis based on their ownership of common stock underlying their Special Warrants on an as-exercised basis; provided , that no such distribution will be made to holders of Special Warrants if (x) the Communications Act or an FCC rule prohibits such distribution to holders of Special Warrants or (y) our FCC counsel opines that such distribution is reasonably likely to cause (i) the Company to violate the Communications Act or any applicable FCC rule or (ii) any such holder not to be deemed to hold a noncognizable (under FCC rules governing foreign ownership) future equity interest in the Company; provided further , that, if any distribution of common stock or any other securities to a holder of Special Warrants is not permitted pursuant to clauses (x) or (y), the Company will cause economically equivalent warrants to be distributed to such holder in lieu thereof, to the extent that such distribution of warrants would not violate the Communications Act or any applicable FCC rules. To the extent within the Company's control, any tender or exchange offer subject to Sections 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act for the Successor Class A common stock, Successor Class B common stock or Special Warrants will be made concurrently and on a pro rata basis (in the case of holders of Special Warrants, based upon their ownership of common stock underlying their Special Warrants on an as-exercised basis) to all holders of Successor Class A common stock, Successor Class B common stock and Special Warrants. Distributions to holders of Special Warrants and payments to holders of Special Warrants pursuant to a tender or exchange offer for Special Warrants subject to Sections 13 or 14 of the Exchange Act will be made in compliance with FCC ownership conditions. The number of shares of the Successor Company's common stock to be received upon exercise of each special warrant is subject to adjustment from time to time. Such number will increase or decrease proportionally upon any increase or decrease in the number of shares of the Successor Company's common stock outstanding resulting from any subdivisions, splits, combination or reverse splits (except in connection with a change of control). The Company is not required to issue fractional shares in connection with the exercise of Special Warrants, and may either pay an amount in cash in lieu of such fractional shares or round the number of shares received to the nearest whole number. The exercise price is not subject to any adjustment. Upon the occurrence of any reclassification or recapitalization whereby holders of the Successor Company's common stock are entitled to receive proceeds in cash, stock, securities or other assets or property with respect to or in exchange for common stock, holders who exercise Special Warrants are entitled to receive such proceeds commensurate with the number of shares of common stock they would have received if they had exercised their Special Warrants immediately prior to such reclassification or recapitalization. Upon a change of control in which the only consideration payable to holders of common stock is cash, each special warrant will be deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control and the holder will receive solely the cash consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such change of control. Upon a change of control in which the consideration payable to holders of common stock is other than only cash, at the Company's option, each special warrant will be either (A) assumed by the party surviving such change of control and will continue to be exercisable for the kind and amount of consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such change of control had the special warrant been exercised immediately prior, or (B) if not assumed by the party surviving such change of control, deemed to be exercised immediately prior to the consummation of such change of control and the holder will receive the consideration to which such holder would have been entitled as a result of such Change of Control, less the exercise price, as though the special warrant had been exercised immediately prior. The Special Warrants will expire on the earlier of the twentieth anniversary of the issuance date and the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS	CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS iHeartCommunications Line of Credit On the Effective Date, iHeartCommunications entered into a revolving loan agreement with CCOL and Clear Channel International, Ltd., both subsidiaries of CCOH, governing a revolving credit facility that provides for borrowings of up to $200 million . The iHeartCommunications line of credit is unsecured. On July 30, 2019, in connection with the consummation of an underwritten public offering of common stock of CCOH, CCOL terminated the iHeartCommunications line of credit. As of June 30, 2019 and the date of termination, there were no amounts drawn under the facility. Transition Services Agreement Pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement between us, iHeartMedia Management Services, Inc. (‘‘iHM Management Services’’), iHeartCommunications and CCOH, for one year from the Effective Date (subject to certain rights of New CCOH to extend up to one additional year, as described below), iHM Management Services has agreed to provide, or cause us, iHeartCommunications, iHeart Operations or any member of the iHeart Group to provide, CCH with certain administrative and support services and other assistance which CCH will utilize in the conduct of its business as such business was conducted prior to the Separation. The transition services may include, among other things, (a) treasury, payroll and other financial related services, (b) certain executive officer services, (c) human resources and employee benefits, (d) legal and related services, (e) information systems, network and related services, (f) investment services and (g) procurement and sourcing support. The charges for the transition services will generally be intended to be consistent with the Corporate Services Agreement. The allocation of cost is based on various measures depending on the service provided, which measures include relative revenue, employee headcount or number of users of a service. New CCOH may request an extension of the term for all services or individual services for one-month periods for up to an additional 12 months, and the price for transition services provided during such extended term will be increased for any service other than those identified in the schedules to the Transition Services Agreement as an ‘‘IT Service’’ or any other service the use and enjoyment of which requires the use of another IT Service. New CCOH may terminate the Transition Services Agreement with respect to all or any individual service, in whole or in part, upon 30 days’ prior written notice, provided that any co-dependent services must be terminated concurrently.

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. As described below, as a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the Company's Plan of Reorganization (as defined below), the consolidated financial statements after the Effective Date (as defined below), are not comparable with the consolidated financial statements on or before that date. Refer to Note 3, "Fresh Start Accounting," for additional information. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2018 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.
New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted	New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Adopted Leases The Company adopted ASU No. 2016-02, which created ASC 842, Leases , and all subsequent ASUs relating to this Topic, as of January 1, 2019 (collectively, "ASC 842"). This new lease accounting standard, which supersedes previous lease accounting guidance under U.S. GAAP, results in significant changes to the balance sheets of lessees, most significantly by requiring the recognition of a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and lease liability by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases. Lessor accounting is also updated to align with certain changes in the lessee model and the revenue recognition standard ("ASC Topic 606"), which was adopted in 2018. The Company applied the transition provisions of this standard at January 1, 2019 following the optional transition method provided by ASU No. 2018-11; consequently, the consolidated financial statements and notes to the consolidated financial statements for periods before the date of adoption continue to be presented in accordance with ASC Topic 840. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which allowed us to not reassess whether expired or existing contracts are or contain leases and to carry forward the historical lease classification for those leases that commenced prior to the date of adoption. Upon adoption of ASC 842, prepaid and deferred rent balances, which were historically presented separately, were combined and presented net within the ROU asset. Additionally, deferred gains related to previous transactions that were historically accounted for as sale and operating leasebacks in accordance with ASC Topic 840 were eliminated and recognized as a cumulative-effect adjustment to equity, resulting in an increase to equity, net of tax, of $128.9 million . Under ASC Topic 840, such gains were recognized ratably over the lease term as a credit to operating lease expense, and operating lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 included credits of $1.3 million and $2.6 million , respectively, for the amortization of these gains, which were not recognized in the Period from May 2, 2019 through June 30, 2019 (Successor), the Period from April 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor) and the Period from January 1, 2019 through May 1, 2019 (Predecessor). Adoption of the new standard had a material impact on our consolidated balance sheets, but it did not have a material impact on our other consolidated financial statements. Additionally, the standard requires disclosures to meet the objective of enabling users of the financial statements to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. Refer to Note 5, Revenue , and Note 6, Leases , for more information. Intangible Assets and Goodwill During the first quarter of 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350) . This update eliminated the requirement to calculate the implied fair value of goodwill to measure a goodwill impairment charge. Entities are required to 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 early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2017-04 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2017-04 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. During the third quarter of 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), Customer's Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract . This update requires that a customer in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract follow the internal use software guidance in Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 350-402 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company early adopted the proposed guidance under ASU 2018-15 beginning on January 1, 2019 on a prospective basis. The implementation of ASU 2018-15 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

(2) Includes the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and Special Warrants issued at emergence. The reconciliation of the Company’s enterprise value to reorganization value as of the Effective Date is as follows: (In thousands) Enterprise Value $ 8,750,000 Plus: Cash and cash equivalents 63,142 Current liabilities (excluding Current portion of long-term debt) 426,944 Deferred tax liability 596,850 Other long-term liabilities 54,393 Noncurrent Operating lease obligations 818,879 Reorganization Value $ 10,710,208 The following table sets forth estimated fair values of the components of these intangible assets and their estimated useful lives: (In thousands) Estimated Fair Value Estimated Useful Life FCC licenses $ 2,281,720 (a) Indefinite Customer / advertiser relationships 1,643,670 (b) 5 - 15 years Talent contracts 373,000 (b) 2 - 10 years Trademarks and tradenames 321,928 (b) 7 - 15 years Other 6,808 (c) Total intangible assets upon emergence 4,627,126 Elimination of historical acquired intangible assets $ (2,431,142 ) Fresh start adjustment to acquired intangible assets 2,195,984 (a) FCC licenses. The fair value of the indefinite-lived FCC licenses was determined primarily using the direct valuation method of the Income Approach and, for smaller markets a combination of the Income approach and the Market Approach. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist it in the development of the assumptions and the Company’s determination of the fair value of its FCC licenses. Under the direct valuation method, the fair value of the FCC licenses was calculated at the market level as prescribed by ASC 350. The application of the direct valuation method attempts to isolate the income that is properly attributable to the FCC licenses alone (that is, apart from tangible and identified intangible assets and goodwill). It is based upon modeling a hypothetical “greenfield” build-up to a “normalized” enterprise that, by design, lacks inherent goodwill and whose only other assets have essentially been paid for (or added) as part of the build-up process. Under the direct valuation method, it is assumed that rather than acquiring FCC licenses as part of a going concern business, the buyer hypothetically obtains FCC licenses and builds a new operation with similar attributes from scratch. Thus, the buyer incurs start-up costs during the build-up phase which are normally associated with going concern value. Initial capital costs are deducted from the discounted cash flow model which results in value that is directly attributable to the FCC licenses. In applying the direct valuation method to the Company’s FCC licenses, the licenses are grouped by type (e.g. FM licenses vs. AM licenses) and market size in order to ensure appropriate assumptions are used in valuing the various FCC licenses based on population and demographics that influence the level of revenues generated by each FCC license, using industry projections. The key assumptions used in applying the direct valuation method include market revenue growth rates, market share, profit margin, duration and profile of the build-up period, estimated start-up capital costs and losses incurred during the build-up period, the risk-adjusted discount rate (“WACC”) and terminal values. The WACC was calculated by weighting the required returns on interest-bearing debt and common equity capital in proportion to their estimated percentages based on a market participant capital structure. For licenses valued using the Market Transaction Method, the Company used publicly available data, which included sales of comparable radio stations and FCC auction data involving radio broadcast licenses to estimate the fair value of FCC licenses. Similar to the application of the Income approach for the FCC licenses, the Company grouped licenses by type and market size for comparison to historical market transactions. The historical book value of the FCC licenses as of May 1, 2019 was subtracted from the fair value of the FCC licenses to determine the adjustment to decrease the value of Indefinite-lived intangible assets-licenses by $44.9 million . (b) Other intangible assets. Definite-lived intangible assets include customer/advertiser relationships, talent contracts for on-air personalities, trademarks and tradenames and other intangible assets. The Company engaged a third-party valuation firm to assist in developing the assumptions and determining the fair values of each of these assets. For purposes of estimating the fair values of customer/advertiser relationships and talent contracts, the Company primarily utilized the Income Approach (specifically, the multi-period excess earnings method, or MPEEM) to estimate fair value based on the present value of the incremental after-tax cash flows attributable only to the subject intangible assets after deducting contributory asset charges. The cash flows attributable to each grouping of customer/advertiser relationships were adjusted for the appropriate contributory asset charges (e.g., FCC licenses, working capital, tradenames, technology, workforce, etc.). The discount rate utilized to present-value the after-tax cash flows was selected based on consideration of the overall business risks and the risks associated with the specific assets being valued. Additionally, for certain advertiser relationships the Company used the Cost Approach using historical financial data regarding the sales, administrative and overhead expenses related to the Company’s selling efforts associated with revenue for both existing and new advertisers. The ratio of expenses for selling efforts to revenue was applied to total revenue from new customers to determine an estimated cost per revenue dollar of revenue generated by new customers. This ratio was applied to total revenue from existing customers to estimate the replacement cost of existing customer/advertiser relationships. The historical book value of customer/advertiser relationships as of May 1, 2019 was subtracted from the fair value of the customer/advertiser relationships determined as described above to determine the adjustment to increase the value of the customer/advertiser relationship intangible assets by $1,604.1 million . For purposes of estimating the fair value of trademarks and tradenames, the Company primarily used the Royalty Savings Method, a variation of the Income approach. Estimated royalty rates were determined for each of the trademarks and tradenames considering the relative contribution to the Company’s overall profitability as well as available public information regarding market royalty rates for similar assets. The selected royalty rates were applied to the revenue generated by the trademarks and tradenames to determine the amount of royalty payments saved as a result of owning these assets. The forecasted cash flows expected to be generated as a result of the royalty savings were discounted to present value utilizing a discount rate considering overall business risks and risks associated with the asset being valued. The historical book values of talent contracts, trademarks and tradenames and other intangible assets as of May 1, 2019 were subtracted from the fair values determined as described above to determine the adjustments as follows: Customer/advertiser relationships $ 1,604.1 million increase in value Talent contracts 361.6 million increase in value Trademarks and tradenames 274.4 million increase in value Other 0.8 million increase in value Total fair value adjustment $ 2,240.9 million increase in value (c) Included within other intangible assets are permanent easements, which have an indefinite useful life. All other intangible assets 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.
