Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Organization and Basis of Presentation Description of the Business Townsquare is a community-focused digital media and digital marketing solutions company with market leading local radio stations, principally focused outside the top 50 markets in the U.S. Our integrated and diversified products and solutions enable local, regional and national advertisers to target audiences across multiple platforms, including digital, mobile, social, video, streaming, e-commerce, radio and events. Our assets include a subscription digital marketing services business (“Townsquare Interactive”), providing website design, creation and hosting, search engine optimization, social platforms and online reputation management for approximately 29,850 small to medium sized businesses; a robust digital advertising division (“Townsquare Ignite,” or “Ignite”), a powerful combination of a) an owned and operated portfolio of more than 400 local news and entertainment websites and mobile apps along with a network of leading national music and entertainment brands, collecting valuable first party data and b) a proprietary digital programmatic advertising technology stack with an in-house demand and data management platform; and a portfolio of 357 local terrestrial radio stations in 74 U.S. markets strategically situated outside the Top 50 markets in the United States. Our portfolio includes local media brands such as WYRK.com , WJON.com and NJ101.5.com , and premier national music brands such as XXLmag.com , TasteofCountry.com , UltimateClassicRock.com , and Loudwire.com . Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), as well as the Company's Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition as of the end of the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the Company’s financial condition as of such date are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition as of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date. Segment Reporting The Company’s operations are organized internally by the types of products and services provided. In December of 2021, the Company changed its reporting segments in order to reflect its strategic focus, organizational structure and the information reviewed by its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") as a digital media and digital marketing solutions company with market leading radio stations, represented by three segments: Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, which includes the results of the Company’s subscription digital marketing solutions business, Townsquare Interactive; Digital Advertising, which includes digital advertising on its owned and operated digital properties and its digital programmatic advertising platform; and Broadcast Advertising, which includes our local, regional and national advertising products and solutions delivered via terrestrial radio broadcast, and other miscellaneous revenue that is associated with its broadcast advertising platform. The remainder of the Company’s business is reported in the Other category, which includes owned and operated live events. The Company has presented segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in conformity with the current period’s segment information. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to assumptions used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets and investments, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts and results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting policies since December 31, 2021. For the Company's detailed accounting policies please refer to the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K and 10-K/A. Recently Issued Standards That Have Not Yet Been Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which adds a new Topic 326 to the Codification and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument's contractual life. The new guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, either of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements, is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this ASU and does not anticipate the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements to be significant. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was signed into law in the U.S. Among other changes, the IRA introduced an excise tax on certain stock repurchases by certain covered corporations for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022 and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. Based on the Company's current analysis and pending future guidance to be issued by the U.S. Treasury, the Company does not anticipate that these provisions will have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |

Our contractual performance obligations include the performance of digital marketing solutions, placement of internet-based advertising campaigns, broadcast of commercials on our owned and operated radio stations, and the operation of live events. Revenue is measured at contract inception as the amount of consideration we expect to receive in exchange for transferring goods or providing services. Our contracts are at a fixed price at inception and do not include any variable consideration or financing components by normal course of business practice. Sales, value add, and other taxes that are collected concurrently with revenue producing activities, are excluded from revenue. The primary sources of net revenue are the sale of digital and broadcast advertising solutions on our owned and operated websites, radio stations’ online streams, and mobile applications, radio stations, and on third-party websites through our in-house digital programmatic advertising platform. Through our digital programmatic advertising platform, we are able to hyper-target audiences for our local, regional and national advertisers by combining first and third-party audience and geographic location data, providing them the ability to reach a high percentage of their online audience. We deliver these solutions across desktop, mobile, connected TV, email, paid search and social media platforms utilizing display, video and native executions. We also offer subscription digital marketing solutions under the brand name Townsquare Interactive to small and mid-sized local and regional businesses in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including the markets in which we operate radio stations. Townsquare Interactive offers traditional and mobile-enabled website development and hosting services, e-commerce platforms, search engine and online directory optimization services, online reputation monitoring, social media management, and website retargeting. Political net revenue includes the sale of advertising for political advertisers. Contracted performance obligations under political contracts consist of the broadcast and placement of digital advertisements. Management views political revenue separately based on the episodic nature of election cycles and local issues calendars. Net revenue for digital and broadcast advertisements are recognized as the contractual performance obligations for Townsquare services are satisfied. We measure progress towards the satisfaction of our contractual performance obligations in accordance with the contractual arrangement. We recognize the associated contractual revenue as delivery takes place and the right to invoice for services performed is met. Our advertising contracts are short-term (less than one year) and payment terms are generally net 30-60 days for traditional customer contracts and net 60-90 days for national agency customer contracts. Our billing practice is to invoice customers on a monthly basis for services delivered to date (representing the right to invoice). Our contractual arrangements do not include rights of return and do not include any significant judgments by nature of the products and services. Net revenue from digital subscription-based contractual performance obligations is recognized ratably over time as our performance obligations are satisfied. Subscription-based service fees are typically billed in advance of the month of service at a fixed monthly fee that is contractually agreed upon at contract inception. The measure of progress in such arrangements is the number of days of successful delivery of the contracted service. For all customer contracts, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) or the agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). Generally, we report revenue for advertising placed on Townsquare properties on a gross basis (the amount billed to our customers is recorded as revenue, and the amount paid to our publishers is recorded as a cost of revenue). We are the principal because we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by our sole ability to monetize the advertising inventory, being primarily responsible to our customers, having discretion in establishing pricing, or a combination of these factors. We also generate revenue through agency relationships in which revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for advertisers that use agencies. The following tables provides information about receivables, contract assets and contract liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands): September 30, 2022 December 31, Contract receivables (accounts receivable) $ 61,677 $ 57,647 Short-term contract liabilities (deferred revenue) $ 10,702 $ 10,208 Contract Acquisition Costs $ 6,426 $ 5,428 We receive payments from customers based upon contractual billing schedules; contract receivables are recognized in the period the Company provides services when the Company’s right to consideration is unconditional. Payment terms vary by the type and location of our customer and the products or services offered. Payment terms for amounts invoiced are typically net 30-60 days. Our contract liabilities include cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations and digital subscriptions in which payment is received in advance of the service and month. These contract liabilities are recognized as revenue as the related performance obligations are satisfied. As of September 30, 2022, and December 31, 2021, the balance in the contract liabilities was $10.7 million and $10.2 million, respectively. The increase in the contract liabilities balance at September 30, 2022 is primarily driven by cash payments received or due in advance of satisfying our performance obligations, offset by $0.6 million and $8.2 million of recognized revenue for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively, we recognized $0.9 million and $7.4 million of revenue that was previously included in our deferred revenue balance. No significant changes in the time frame of the satisfaction of contract liabilities have occurred during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our capitalized contract acquisition costs include amounts related to sales commissions paid for signed contracts with perceived durations exceeding one year. We defer the related sales commission costs and amortize such costs to expense in a manner that is consistent with how the related revenue is recognized over the duration of the related contracts. We have evaluated the average customer contract duration (initial term and any renewals) to determine the appropriate amortization period for these contractual arrangements. Capitalized contract acquisition costs are recognized in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. As of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we had a balance of $6.4 million and $5.4 million, respectively, in capitalized contract acquisition costs and recognized $1.3 million and $3.7 million of amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $1.1 million and $3.2 million of amortization, respectively. No impairment losses have been recognized or changes made to the time frame for performance of the obligations related to deferred contract assets during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. When multiple performance obligations are identified, we identify how control transfers to the customer for each distinct contract obligation and determine the period when the obligations are satisfied. If obligations are satisfied in the same period, no allocation of revenue is deemed to be necessary. In the event performance obligations within a bundled contract do not run concurrently, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or by using expected cost-plus margins. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined. Performance Obligations |

Business Combination and Asset Acquisition [Abstract] | |
Acquisitions and Divestitures | Acquisitions and Divestitures Acquisitions and Divestitures On March 24, 2022, the Company executed an asset purchase agreement to acquire Cherry Creek Broadcasting LLC (“Cherry Creek”). Following regulatory approval, the acquisition was completed on June 17, 2022 for a cash purchase price of $18.4 million, net of closing adjustments. The purchase price was in excess of the fair value of net assets acquired, resulting in the recognition of goodwill. The Company expects to finalize the allocation of the purchase price for Cherry Creek as soon as possible, but in any event, no later than one year from the acquisition date. The preliminary purchase price allocation is subject to change pending a final valuation of the assets and liabilities acquired. We require additional time specifically related to obtaining information regarding acquired FCC licenses and property and equipment. The preliminary acquisition date fair values of major classes of net assets acquired are as follows (in thousands): Preliminary Acquisition Date Fair Value Net tangible assets acquired $ 1,366 Intangible assets, net (1) 8,676 Goodwill 8,377 Total Purchase Price $ 18,419 (1) Intangible assets include FCC licenses and content rights in the amount of $8.0 million and $0.7 million, respectively. Goodwill totaling $8.4 million represents the excess of the Cherry Creek purchase price over the fair value of net assets acquired, representing future economic benefits that are expected to be achieved as a result of the acquisition, and is included in the Broadcast Advertising segment. Goodwill generated from the Cherry Creek acquisition is deductible for income tax purposes. The Company believes the acquisition of Cherry Creek, which includes a portfolio of local media brands, will further its goal of becoming the number one local media company in markets outside of the Top 50 in the United States. In addition, the acquisition provides an opportunity to bring our digital assets and solutions to the Cherry Creek markets and accelerate their digital growth with our Digital First strategy. The results of Cherry Creek's operations have been included in our Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements, following the closing of the acquisition on June 17, 2022. Pro forma information has not been presented because the effect of the acquisition is not material. |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company sold land and a building in Quincy-Hannibal, IL. The Company recognized $0.8 million in impairment charges related to the sale. There were no impairment charges related to long-lived assets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. On June 24, 2022, the Company executed a lease for office space of approximately 11,900 square feet in Phoenix, AZ, in order to support the growth of the Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions segment. The lease commenced in the third quarter of 2022 and has an eleven-year term, with the option to extend the lease for two consecutive five-year periods. The Company had no material right of use assets related to its finance leases as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. |

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets | Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets Indefinite-lived intangible assets Indefinite-lived assets consist of FCC broadcast licenses, goodwill and investment in digital assets. FCC Broadcast Licenses FCC licenses represent a substantial portion of the Company’s total assets. The FCC licenses are renewable in the ordinary course of business, generally for a maximum of eight years. The fair value of FCC licenses is primarily dependent on the future cash flows of the radio markets and other assumptions, including, but not limited to, forecasted revenue growth rates, profit margins and a risk-adjusted discount rate. The Company has selected December 31 st as the annual testing date. The Company evaluates its FCC licenses for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired. Due to changes in forecasted traditional broadcast revenue in the markets in which we operate in and increases in the weighted average cost of capital, the Company quantitatively evaluated the fair value of its FCC licenses at September 30, June 30, and March 31, 2022, respectively. The key assumptions used in applying the direct valuation method are summarized as follows: September 30, 2022 Discount Rate 11.6% Long-term Revenue Growth Rate 0.0% Low High Mature Market Share* 19.3% 94.7% Operating Profit Margin 20.0% 47.0% June 30, 2022 Discount Rate 10.9% Long-term Revenue Growth Rate 0.0% Low High Mature Market Share* 19.3% 94.7% Operating Profit Margin 20.0% 47.0% March 31, 2022 Discount Rate 10.2% Long-term Revenue Growth Rate 0.0% Low High Mature Market Share* 19.3% 94.7% Operating Profit Margin 20.0% 47.0% * Market share assumption used when reliable third-party data is available. Otherwise, Company results and forecasts are utilized. Based on the results of interim impairment assessments of our FCC licenses, as of September 30, 2022 we incurred impairment charges of $10.3 million and $15.5 million for FCC licenses in eight of our 74 local markets for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively. The impairment charges were primarily driven by increases in the discount rate applied in the valuation of our FCC licenses due to an increase in the weighted average cost of capital and the estimate of initial capital costs due to rising prices. The Company recorded no impairment charges on its FCC licenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021. Unfavorable changes in key assumptions utilized in the impairment assessment of our FCC licenses may affect future testing results. For example, keeping all other assumptions constant, a 100-basis point increase in the weighted average cost of capital as of the date of our last quantitative assessment would cause the estimated fair values of our FCC licenses to decrease by $51.8 million, which would have resulted in an impairment charge of $25.6 million. Assumptions used to estimate the fair value of our FCC licenses are also dependent upon the expected performance and growth of our traditional broadcast operations. In the event our broadcast revenue experiences actual or anticipated declines, such declines will have a negative impact on the estimated fair value of our FCC licenses, and the Company could recognize additional impairment charges, which could be material. Goodwill For goodwill impairment testing, the Company has selected December 31 st as the annual testing date. I n addition to the annual impairment test, the Company regularly assesses whether a triggering event has occurred, which would require interim impairment testing. As of December 31, 2021, the fair values of our National Digital, Townsquare Ignite, Analytical Services, Townsquare Interactive and Live Events reporting units were in excess of their respective carrying values by approximately 703%, 164%, 281%, 497% and 117%, respectively. The local advertising businesses reporting unit had no goodwill as of December 31, 2021. The Company considered whether any events have occurred or circumstances have changed from the last quantitative analysis performed as of December 31, 2021 that would indicate that the fair value of the Company's reporting units may be below their carrying amounts. Based on such analysis, the Company determined that there have been no indicators that the fair value of its reporting units may be below their carrying amounts as of September 30, 2022. Changes in the carrying value of the Company's goodwill by segment during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 are summarized as follows (in thousands): Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions Digital Advertising Broadcast Advertising Other Total Balance at December 31, 2021 $ 77,000 $ 76,964 $ — $ 3,983 $ 157,947 Cherry Creek acquisition (1) — — 8,377 — 8,377 Balance at September 30, 2022 $ 77,000 $ 76,964 $ 8,377 $ 3,983 $ 166,324 (1) Based on the preliminary purchase price allocation. For further information see Note 4, Acquisitions and Divestitures . Digital Assets During the first quarter of 2022, the Company invested an aggregate of $5.0 million in digital assets. They are accounted for as indefinite-lived intangible assets in accordance with ASC 350, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other, included as a component of intangible assets, net on the Consolidated Balance Sheet. We have ownership of and control over our digital assets and we use third-party custodial services to secure it. Any decrease in the digital assets' fair values below our carrying values at any time subsequent to acquisition requires the Company to recognize impairment charges. No upward revisions for any market price increases are recognized until a sale of the digital assets occurs. The fair value of the digital assets was based upon quoted prices (unadjusted) on the active exchange that the Company determined was the principal market for our digital assets, Level 1 measurements under the fair value measurement hierarchy established under Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820). The Company performed an analysis to identify whether events or changes in circumstances, principally decreases in the quoted prices on the active exchange, indicated that it was more likely than not that our digital assets were impaired. In determining if an impairment had occurred, the Company considered the lowest market price of one unit of digital asset quoted on the active exchange since the date the Company acquired the digital assets. Any observed declines in the market values of our digital assets below their current carrying values results in an impairment loss equal to the difference between the digital assets carrying values and the lowest observed market price, even if the overall market values of these assets subsequently increase. The Company recorded no impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of the Company's digital assets during three months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded $2.6 million in impairment losses due to changes in the fair value of the Company's digital assets observed during the period. As of September 30, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's digital assets is $2.4 million. The Company views its investment in digital assets as liquid due to the ability to readily convert the investment to cash through sale on an active exchange. The Company may decrease its holdings of digital assets at any time based on our view of market conditions. Definite-lived intangible assets The Company’s definite-lived intangible assets were acquired primarily in various acquisitions as well as in connection with the acquisition of software and music licenses. Content Rights The Company enters into multi-year content licensing agreements pursuant to which the Company is required to make payments over the term of the license agreement. These licensing agreements are accounted for as a license of program material in accordance with ASC 920-350, Broadcasters - Intangibles - Goodwill and Other. The Company capitalizes the content licenses and records a related liability at fair value, which includes a discount, on the effective date of the respective license agreement.

Investments, Debt and Equity Securities [Abstract] | |
Investments | Investments Long-term investments consists of minority holdings in various companies. As management does not exercise significant control over operating and financial policies of the investees, the investments are not consolidated or accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The initial valuation of equity securities is based upon an estimate of market value at the time of investment, or upon a combination of valuation analyses using both observable and unobservable inputs categorized as Level 2 and Level 3 within the ASC 820 framework, respectively. In accordance with ASC 321, Investments - Equity Securities, the Company measures its equity securities at cost minus impairment, as their fair values are not readily determinable and the investments do not qualify for the net asset value per share practical expedient. The Company monitors its investments for any subsequent observable price changes in orderly transactions for the identical or a similar investment of the same investee, at which time the Company would adjust the then current carrying values of the related investment. Additionally, the Company evaluates its investments for any indicators of impairment. Equity securities measured at cost minus impairment During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company acquired a $2.1 million interest in three new investees and an additional $0.8 million interest in an existing investee. There were no impairment charges recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2022. The Company recorded a $1.2 million impairment charge for an investee during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, based on the implied fair value of the investee as a result of a private transaction. There were no impairment charges recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, respectively. Equity securities measured at fair value On July 2, 2021, one of the Company's investees completed its registration with the SEC and became a publicly traded company. Based on the market price of the investee's common stock as of September 30, 2022, the fair value of the Company's investment in the common stock of the investee was approximately $1.4 million. As a result, the Company recorded an unrealized gain of $0.2 million during the three months ended September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a total net unrealized loss of $1.9 million as a result of changes in the fair value of the investee's common stock during the period. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an unrealized net gain of $2.9 million. Unrealized gains and losses are included as a component of other expense (income) on the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting Operating segments are organized internally by type of products and services provided. Based on the information reviewed by the Company's CEO in his capacity as CODM, the Company has identified three segments: Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, Digital Advertising and Broadcast Advertising. The remainder of our business is reported in the Other category. The Company operates in one geographic area. The Company's assets and liabilities are managed within markets outside the top 50 across the United States where the Company conducts its business and are reported internally in the same manner as the Consolidated Financial Statements; thus, no additional information regarding assets and liabilities of the Company’s reportable segments is produced for the Company's CEO or included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. Intangible assets consist principally of FCC broadcast licenses and other definite-lived intangible assets and primarily support the Company’s Broadcast Advertising segment. For further information see Note 6, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, Net . The Company does not have any material inter-segment sales. The Company's management evaluates segment operating income, which excludes unallocated corporate expenses and the impact of certain items that are not directly attributable to the reportable segments' underlying operating performance, and primarily includes expenses related to corporate stewardship and administration activities, transaction related costs and non-cash impairment charges.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (the "2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K"), as well as the Company's Form 10-K/A, for the year ended December 31, 2021. The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, with all significant intercompany balances and transactions eliminated in consolidation. These financial statements have been prepared in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. All adjustments (consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations and financial condition as of the end of the interim periods have been included. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022, and the Company’s financial condition as of such date are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or cash flows that can be expected for, or the Company’s financial condition as of, any other interim period or for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2022. The Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2021 is derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements at that date. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting The Company’s operations are organized internally by the types of products and services provided. In December of 2021, the Company changed its reporting segments in order to reflect its strategic focus, organizational structure and the information reviewed by its Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") as a digital media and digital marketing solutions company with market leading radio stations, represented by three segments: Subscription Digital Marketing Solutions, which includes the results of the Company’s subscription digital marketing solutions business, Townsquare Interactive; Digital Advertising, which includes digital advertising on its owned and operated digital properties and its digital programmatic advertising platform; and Broadcast Advertising, which includes our local, regional and national advertising products and solutions delivered via terrestrial radio broadcast, and other miscellaneous revenue that is associated with its broadcast advertising platform. The remainder of the Company’s business is reported in the Other category, which includes owned and operated live events. The Company has presented segment information for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 in conformity with the current period’s segment information. |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates its significant estimates, including those related to assumptions used in determining the fair value of assets and liabilities acquired in a business combination, impairment testing of intangible assets, valuation and impairment testing of long-lived tangible assets and investments, the present value of leasing arrangements, share-based payment expense and the calculation of allowance for doubtful accounts and income taxes. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and on various assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the result of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual amounts and results may differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. |
Recently Issued Standards That Have Not Yet Been Adopted | Recently Issued Standards That Have Not Yet Been Adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments , which adds a new Topic 326 to the Codification and removes the thresholds that companies apply to measure credit losses on financial instruments measured at amortized cost, such as loans, receivables, and held-to-maturity debt securities. The guidance will remove all recognition thresholds and will require companies to recognize an allowance for credit losses for the difference between the amortized cost basis of a financial instrument and the amount of amortized cost that the company expects to collect over the instrument's contractual life. The new guidance is effective for smaller reporting companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2022, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption, either of the entire standard or only the provisions that eliminate or modify requirements, is permitted. The Company expects to adopt the new guidance in the first quarter of 2023. The Company is evaluating the impacts of the adoption of this ASU and does not anticipate the impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements to be significant. On August 16, 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (the "IRA") was signed into law in the U.S. Among other changes, the IRA introduced an excise tax on certain stock repurchases by certain covered corporations for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2022 and several tax incentives to promote clean energy. Based on the Company's current analysis and pending future guidance to be issued by the U.S. Treasury, the Company does not anticipate that these provisions will have a significant impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements. |
Revenue Recognition | The primary sources of net revenue are the sale of digital and broadcast advertising solutions on our owned and operated websites, radio stations’ online streams, and mobile applications, radio stations, and on third-party websites through our in-house digital programmatic advertising platform. Through our digital programmatic advertising platform, we are able to hyper-target audiences for our local, regional and national advertisers by combining first and third-party audience and geographic location data, providing them the ability to reach a high percentage of their online audience. We deliver these solutions across desktop, mobile, connected TV, email, paid search and social media platforms utilizing display, video and native executions. We also offer subscription digital marketing solutions under the brand name Townsquare Interactive to small and mid-sized local and regional businesses in markets outside the top 50 across the United States, including the markets in which we operate radio stations. Townsquare Interactive offers traditional and mobile-enabled website development and hosting services, e-commerce platforms, search engine and online directory optimization services, online reputation monitoring, social media management, and website retargeting. Political net revenue includes the sale of advertising for political advertisers. Contracted performance obligations under political contracts consist of the broadcast and placement of digital advertisements. Management views political revenue separately based on the episodic nature of election cycles and local issues calendars. Net revenue for digital and broadcast advertisements are recognized as the contractual performance obligations for Townsquare services are satisfied. We measure progress towards the satisfaction of our contractual performance obligations in accordance with the contractual arrangement. We recognize the associated contractual revenue as delivery takes place and the right to invoice for services performed is met. Our advertising contracts are short-term (less than one year) and payment terms are generally net 30-60 days for traditional customer contracts and net 60-90 days for national agency customer contracts. Our billing practice is to invoice customers on a monthly basis for services delivered to date (representing the right to invoice). Our contractual arrangements do not include rights of return and do not include any significant judgments by nature of the products and services. Net revenue from digital subscription-based contractual performance obligations is recognized ratably over time as our performance obligations are satisfied. Subscription-based service fees are typically billed in advance of the month of service at a fixed monthly fee that is contractually agreed upon at contract inception. The measure of progress in such arrangements is the number of days of successful delivery of the contracted service. For all customer contracts, we evaluate whether we are the principal (i.e., report revenue on a gross basis) or the agent (i.e., report revenue on a net basis). Generally, we report revenue for advertising placed on Townsquare properties on a gross basis (the amount billed to our customers is recorded as revenue, and the amount paid to our publishers is recorded as a cost of revenue). We are the principal because we control the advertising inventory before it is transferred to our customers. Our control is evidenced by our sole ability to monetize the advertising inventory, being primarily responsible to our customers, having discretion in establishing pricing, or a combination of these factors. We also generate revenue through agency relationships in which revenue is reported net of agency commissions. Agency commissions are calculated based on a stated percentage applied to gross billing revenue for advertisers that use agencies. Arrangements with Multiple Performance Obligations In contracts with multiple performance obligations, we identify each performance obligation and evaluate whether the performance obligations are distinct within the context of the contract at contract inception. When multiple performance obligations are identified, we identify how control transfers to the customer for each distinct contract obligation and determine the period when the obligations are satisfied. If obligations are satisfied in the same period, no allocation of revenue is deemed to be necessary. In the event performance obligations within a bundled contract do not run concurrently, we allocate revenue to each performance obligation based on its relative standalone selling price. We generally determine standalone selling prices based on the prices charged to customers or by using expected cost-plus margins. Performance obligations that are not distinct at contract inception are combined. Performance Obligations |
