Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies	Note 1. Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
	Nature of business:    The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. ("Hemisphere" or the "Company"), the parent holding company of Cine Latino, Inc. ("Cinelatino"), WAPA Holdings, LLC (formerly known as InterMedia Español Holdings, LLC) ("WAPA Holdings"), and HMTV Cable, Inc., the parent company of the entities for the newly acquired networks consisting of Pasiones, TV Dominicana, and Centroamerica TV (see below). Hemisphere was formed on January 16, 2013 for purposes of effecting the transaction, (See Note 2), which was consummated on April 4, 2013. The Company determines its operating segments based upon (i) financial information reviewed by the chief operating decision maker, the Chief Executive Officer, (ii) internal management and related reporting structure and (iii) the basis upon which the chief operating decision maker makes resource allocation decisions. We have one operating segment, Hemisphere. In these notes, the terms "Company," "we," "us" or "our" mean Hemisphere and all subsidiaries included in our Consolidated Financial Statements.
	On April 1, 2014, we acquired the assets of three Spanish-language cable television networks from Media World, LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("Seller"), for $101.9 million in cash. The three acquired cable networks include Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and TV Dominicana. For more information, see Note 2.
	Reclassification:    Certain prior year deferred taxes have been reclassified from current to non-current on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, which resulted in a net current deferred asset and a net non-current deferred liability to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation with no effect on net income (loss) or stockholders' equity.
	Principles of consolidation:    The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
	Basis of presentation:    The accompanying consolidated financial statements for us and our subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
	Net earnings (loss) per common share:    Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of the common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted EPS (amounts in thousands):
		Years Ended December 31
		2014			2013			2012
	Numerator for earnings (loss) per common share calculation:
	Net income (loss)	$	10,557		$	(4,297	)	$	11,030
	Denominator for earnings (loss) per common share calculation:
	Weighted-average common shares, basic		42,321			31,143			1
	Effect of dilutive securities
	Stock options, resticted stock and warrants		301			—			—
	Weighted-average common shares, diluted		42,622			31,143			1
	EPS
	Basic	$	0.25		$	(0.14	)	$	11,030
	Diluted	$	0.25		$	(0.14	)	$	11,030
	We apply the treasury stock method to measure the dilutive effect of its outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock awards and include the respective common share equivalents in the denominator of our diluted income (loss) per common share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities representing 1.1 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted income (loss) per common share for this period because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the year ended December 31, 2012. The net income (loss) per share amounts are the same for our Class A and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.
	In computing earnings per share, the Company's Nonvoting Stock is considered a participating security. Each share of Nonvoting Stock has identical rights, powers, limitations and restrictions in all respects as each share of common of the Company, including the right to receive the same consideration per share payable in respect of each share of common stock, except that holders of Nonvoting Stock shall have no voting rights or powers whatsoever.
	Revenue recognition:    Revenue related to the sale of advertising and contracted time is recognized at the time of broadcast. Retransmission consent fees and subscriber fees received from cable, telecommunications and satellite operators are recognized in the period in which the services are performed, generally pursuant to multi-year carriage agreements based on the number of subscribers.
	Barter transactions:    The Company engages in barter transactions in which advertising time is exchanged for products or services. Barter transactions are accounted for at the estimated fair value of the products or services received, or advertising time given up, whichever is more clearly determinable. Barter revenue is recognized at the time the advertising is broadcast. Barter expense is recorded at the time the merchandise or services are used and/or received.
	Barter revenue and expense included in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows (amounts in thousands):
		2014			2013			2012
	Barter revenue	$	1,311		$	1,448		$	1,363
	Barter expense		(1,075	)		(1,360	)		(996	)
		$	236		$	88		$	367
	Programming costs:    Programming costs are recorded in cost of revenues based on the Company's contractual agreements with various third party programming distributors which are generally multi-year agreements.
	Stock-based compensation:    We have given equity incentives to certain employees. We account for such equity incentives in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 "Stock Compensation," which requires us to measure compensation cost for equity settled awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation cost in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. Compensation cost is determined by using either the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
	Advertising and marketing costs:    The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing costs of $2.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
	Cash:    The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
	Accounts receivable:    Accounts receivable are carried at the original charge amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The Company considers an account receivable to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):
	Year	Description		Beginning			Additions			Write-offs		Recoveries		End
				of Year										of Year
	2014	Allowance for doubtful accounts		$	137		$	342		$	45	$	5	$	439

	2012	Allowance for doubtful accounts			167			(10	)		17		40		180
	Due from related parties:    Certain amounts due from related parties are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts based on management's expectations related to the realization of the related parties' collections and remittances from the Company's customers. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):
	Year	Description		Beginning			Additions			Write-offs		Recoveries		End
				of Year										of Year

	2013	Allowance for doubtful accounts			—			514			—		—		514
	2012	Allowance for doubtful accounts			—			—			—		—		—
	Programming rights:    We enter into multi-year license agreements with various programming distributors for distribution of their respective programming ("programming rights") and capitalize amounts paid to secure or extend these programming rights at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. If management estimates that the unamortized cost of programming rights exceeds the estimated net realizable value, an adjustment is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the programming rights. No such write down was deemed necessary during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We amortize these programming rights over the term of the related license agreements or the number of exhibitions, whichever occurs first. The amortization of these rights, which was $10.4 million, $9.3 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is recorded as part of cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization of the programming rights was $10.3 million and $13.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with the purchase of programs to be broadcast within one year are classified as current assets, while costs of those programs to be broadcast subsequently are considered noncurrent. Program obligations are classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the payment terms of the license agreement.
	Property and equipment:    Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the expected remaining useful lives of the respective assets. Useful lives range from 1 - 19 years for improvements, equipment, buildings and towers. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the determination of net income or loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
	Goodwill and other intangibles:    The Company's goodwill is recorded as a result of the Company's business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Indefinite lived intangible assets include a broadcast license, trademark and tradename. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, non-compete agreement and affiliate agreements with an estimated useful life of one to ten years. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.
	The Company tests its broadcast license annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of these assets with their carrying amounts using a discounted cash flow valuation method, assuming a hypothetical start-up scenario.
	The Company tests its goodwill annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting units are determined through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating variables such as revenue projections, projected operating cash flow margins, and discount rates.
	The valuation assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model reflect historical performance of the Company and prevailing values in the broadcast and cable markets. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
	The Company tests its other indefinite lived intangible asset annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such asset might be impaired. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying value of the asset to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such asset. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of this asset is not recoverable, the carrying value of such asset is reduced to fair value.
	Deferred financing costs:    Deferred financing costs are recorded net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on the effective-interest method over the term of the applicable loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.9 million which is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.5 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
	Income taxes:    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	We record foreign withholding tax, which is withheld by foreign customers from their remittances to us, on a gross basis as a component of income taxes and separate from revenue in the consolidated statement of operations.
	We follow the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. To the extent that interest and penalties are assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income taxes, such amounts are accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense.
	Fair value of financial instruments:    The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value because this instrument bears interest at a variable rate and is at terms currently available to the Company.
	Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
	Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, reflecting the entity's own assumptions about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	The categorization of an asset or liability within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
	The Company's programming rights and goodwill are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as they are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed their fair values. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 there were no adjustments to fair value.
	The Company's variable-rate debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as its estimated fair value is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Recent accounting pronouncements:    In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect there to be material impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09"), a comprehensive revenue recognition model that supersedes the current revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific guidance. The underlying core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows adoption either under a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
Use of estimates:    In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management had to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheets date, and the reported revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.

Business Combination	Note 2. Business Combination
	On April 1, 2014, we closed on the acquisition of the net assets of the Spanish-language television network business of the Seller (the "Cable Networks Acquisition"), which is comprised of Pasiones, Centroamerica TV and TV Dominicana, which we refer to as the Acquired Cable Networks. The Acquired Cable Networks are highly complementary to our existing television networks, and build on our commitment to provide unique programming focused on the U.S. Hispanic market. The purchase price for the Cable Networks Acquisition and certain agreements entered into with the Seller contemporaneously with the business combination was $101.9 million, and was funded with cash on hand. The Cable Networks Acquisition was accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the fair value of the consideration transferred, the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the acquiree, and the measurement of goodwill pursuant to ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations-Overall". Costs incurred in connection with the Cable Networks Acquisition are included in other expenses and totaled $1.2 million, of which $0.9 million was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2013, with the balance recorded in 2014.
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and resulting goodwill in the Cable Networks Acquisition (amounts in thousands):
	Other assets		$	177
	Intangible asset—affiliate agreements			46,014
	Intangible asset—brands			15,986
	Intangible asset—advertiser relationships			3,310
	Intangible assets—other			648
	Other liabilities			(2,123	)
	Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired			64,012
	Goodwill			34,093
	Total		$	98,105
	In addition to the above identifiable assets, the estimated fair values of a non-compete agreement entered into with the Seller and a consulting agreement with certain Seller executives are $3.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, which are accounted for separately from the Cable Networks Acquisition. We finalized the accounting for the Cable Networks Acquisition in the second quarter of 2014.
	The estimated fair value of the affiliate agreements of $46.0 million was determined using a discounted cash flow method utilizing an 8.5% discount rate. This intangible asset will be amortized on a straight-line basis over eight years. The estimated fair value of the television network brands of $16.0 million was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on a royalty rate of 5% and utilizing an 8.5% discount rate. This intangible asset was determined to be indefinite-lived given the strong association of the brand with the content appearing on the networks and their respective target audiences. The estimated fair values of the advertiser relationships and non-compete agreement of $3.3 million each were determined using a discounted cash flow method utilizing an 8.5% discount rate and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over six years. All other intangibles of $1.1 million will be amortized over a period of one year or less.
	Goodwill of $34.1 million is the excess of the net consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, and primarily represents the benefits we expect to realize from the Cable Networks Acquisition and the synergistic opportunities with our existing networks. The goodwill associated with the transaction is deductible for tax purposes.
	In connection with the Cable Networks Acquisition, we determined that it is reasonably certain that our foreign tax credits will be realized and, as a result, reversed the valuation allowance previously recorded of $2.5 million.
	Pro Forma Information
	The following table sets forth the unaudited pro forma results of operations assuming that the Cable Networks Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013:
			Years Ended
			December 31,
			2014			2013
	Net Revenues		$	117,851		$	108,199
	Operating Income		$	28,281		$	20,578
	The unaudited pro forma results of operations for all periods set forth above includes the operating results of the Acquired Cable Networks, and amortization of finite-lived intangible assets identified as a result of the Cable Networks Acquisition, and excludes all transaction related fees and expenses, and non-recurring expenses (primarily the $3.8 million charge in the 2013 periods as a result of the termination of an agreement in connection with the April 4, 2013 Transaction). These are the combined historical results of operations of Hemisphere and the Acquired Cable Networks. These unaudited pro forma results are presented for illustrative purposes and are not intended to represent or be indicative of the actual results of operations of the combined company that would have been achieved had the Cable Networks Acquisition occurred on January 1, 2013, nor are they intended to represent or be indicative of future results of operations.
	Net revenues and operating income of the Acquired Cable Networks included in our actual consolidated statements of operations were $17.5 million and $4.9 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2014.
	On April 4, 2013, the merger by and among Cinelatino, WAPA Holdings and Azteca providing for the acquisition of Cinelatino and the combination of WAPA Holdings and Azteca as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere (the "Transaction") was consummated. The primary purpose of the Transaction was to create a Spanish-language media company targeting the Hispanic broadcast and cable television network business.
	The Transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method, which requires the determination of the accounting acquirer, the acquisition date, the fair value of the purchase consideration to be transferred, the fair value of assets and liabilities of the acquiree and the measurement of goodwill. ASC Topic 805-10, "Business Combinations—Overall" ("ASC 805-10") provides that in identifying the acquiring entity in a business combination effected primarily through an exchange of equity interests, the acquirer is usually the entity that issues equity interests but all pertinent facts and circumstances must be considered in determining the acquirer. Other pertinent facts and circumstances to consider include the relative voting rights of the shareholders of the constituent companies in the combined entity, the composition of the board of directors and senior management of the combined company, the relative size of each company and the terms of the exchange of equity interests in the Transaction, including payment of any premium. Although Hemisphere issued the equity interests in the Transaction, since it is a new entity formed solely to issue these equity interests to effect the Transaction it would not be considered the acquirer and one of the combining entities that existed before the transaction must be identified as the acquirer. Based on the following, WAPA Holdings is the accounting acquirer and predecessor, whose historical results are the results of Hemisphere:
	i.	WAPA Holdings shareholders obtained approximately 46.4% of the post-Transaction common shares of stock and 59.9% of the voting rights in the combined entities;
	ii.	WAPA Holdings, through its parent company, InterMedia Partners VII, L.P. ("InterMedia Partners"), has the ability to elect or appoint or to remove a majority of the members of the governing body of the combined entity, as they represent five of the nine directors on the combined entity board of directors, including the Chief Executive Officer; and
	iii.	WAPA Holdings's historical revenues represent approximately 69.0% of the total revenues of the combined entities.
	As WAPA Holdings is the accounting acquirer (and legal acquiree), the Transaction is considered to be a reverse acquisition. Since WAPA Holdings issued no consideration in the Transaction, unless the fair value of accounting acquirees' equity interests are more reliably measurable, the fair value of the consideration transferred by WAPA Holdings would be based on the number of shares WAPA Holdings would have had to issue to give owners of the other entities in the transaction the same percentage ownership in the combined entities that results from the Transaction. In this situation, since Azteca's shares were publicly traded and they are one of the combining entities in this Transaction, the fair value of those shares are considered to be more reliably measurable than the fair value of WAPA Holdings's shares and therefore were used to determine the fair value of the consideration transferred for the acquisition of Cinelatino, which is the other operating entity involved in this Transaction.
	Total consideration transferred by WAPA Holdings (accounting acquirer) to Cinelatino (accounting acquiree) was $129.4 million based on: (i) cash consideration of $3.8 million (funded from cash on hand), plus (ii) 12,567,538 shares with a fair value of $128.8 million based on the Company's opening share price of $10.25 per share on the date following the consummation of the Transaction for each share of the Company's common stock to be received by Cinelatino stockholders in the Transaction, (iii) less contingently returnable consideration with a fair value of $3.2 million. The $3.2 million represents the difference between the fair value of $11.7 million of 1,142,504 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock that are subject to forfeiture in the event the closing market price of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not equal or exceed $12.50 and $15.00 for any twenty trading days within at least one 30-day trading period (within 36 months of the date of the Transaction) and the estimated fair value of $8.5 million of these shares using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Subsequent to the consummation of the Transaction, 571,252 shares, with fair value of $1.2 million, have achieved the $12.50 trading price are no longer subject to forfeiture and are included in additional paid-in capital. Significant assumptions utilized in the Monte Carlo simulation model include:
	•	Stock Price: $10.25
	•	Volatility: 32.5%
	•	Risk-Free Rate: 0.69%
	The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed in the acquisition of Cinelatino (amounts in thousands):
	Cash		$	12,865
	Accounts receivable			4,053
	Programming rights			4,460
	Prepaid expenses and other assets			940

	Current liabilities			(6,272	)
	Deferred tax liabilities			(12,594	)
	Long-term debt			(32,097	)
	Fair value of identifiable net assets acquired			9,612
	Goodwill			119,812
	Total		$	129,424
	The estimated fair values of Cinelatino's affiliate agreements of $37.9 million, was determined using a discounted cash flow method based on expected renewal rates utilizing a 10% discount rate. These intangible assets will be amortized on a straight-line basis over 6 years.
	The accounts receivable acquired have a fair value of $4.1 million and all contractual receivables are expected to be collected.
	During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company finalized its acquisition accounting. As a result, a deferred tax asset related to tax goodwill recognized in the previous acquisition of Cinelatino in 2007 was reversed in the opening balance sheet, resulting in an increase in goodwill of $14.3 million.
	Goodwill of $119.8 million is the excess of the net consideration transferred over the fair value of the identifiable net assets acquired, and primarily represents the benefits the Company expects to realize from the acquisition. The goodwill associated with the Transaction is not deductible for tax purposes.
	The number of shares of stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately following the consummation of the Transaction is summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

-2	Includes 1,857,496 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock, which were issued in the Transaction by Hemisphere that are subject to forfeiture in the event the market price of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not meet certain levels.
-3	Includes 1,142,504 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock, which were issued in the Transaction by Hemisphere that are subject to forfeiture in the event the market price of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not meet certain levels.
The cash flows related to the Transaction are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

Cash in trust at Azteca		$	100,520
Cash on hand at Cinelatino			12,865
Less: Redemption of Azteca public shares			(12,652	)

The unaudited pro forma results of operations set forth above include the operating results of Cinelatino as if the acquisition occurred on January 1, 2012, and the amortization of intangibles created as a result of the Transaction, and excludes all transaction related fees and expenses, non-recurring expenses (primarily a $3.8 million charge as a result of the termination of a certain service agreement with MVS which is recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statement of operations), and stock-based compensation expense. Additionally, the 2012 pro forma results do not reflect corporate overhead and public company costs. The Company incurred $5.7 million of expenses related to the Transaction, and $0.9 million related to the cable networks acquisition which is recorded within operating expenses in other expenses in the consolidated statement of operations.

	For the year ended December 31, 2014, the items that significantly affect the differences between the tax provision calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate and the actual tax benefit recorded relate to increases in taxes in Puerto Rico that will generate offsetting U.S. foreign tax credits and the reduction of the valuation allowance.
	For the year ended December 31, 2013, the items that significantly affect the differences between the tax provision calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate and the actual tax benefit recorded relate to permanent differences related to non-deductible expenses in conjunction with the Transaction, increases in taxes in Puerto Rico that will not generate offsetting U.S. foreign tax credits and the change in the valuation allowance.
	For the year ended December 31, 2012, the items that significantly affected the differences between the tax provision calculated at the statutory federal income tax rate and the actual tax benefit recorded, were increases in taxes in Puerto Rico that will not generate offsetting U.S. foreign tax credits and permanent differences for meals and entertainment, respectively.
	The Company may be audited by federal, state and local tax authorities, and from time to time these audits could result in proposed assessments. The Company has open tax years from 2010 forward for federal and state tax purposes. The Company believes appropriate provisions for all outstanding issues have been made for all jurisdictions and all open years.
	Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities calculated for financial reporting purposes and the amounts calculated for preparing its income tax returns in accordance with tax regulations and the net tax effects of operating loss and tax credits carried forward. Net deferred tax liabilities consist of the following components as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (amounts in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Deferred tax assets:
	Allowances for doubtful accounts	$	1,091		$	884

	Total deferred tax liabilities		(37,663	)		(36,106	)
		$	(7,448	)	$	(10,175	)
	The deferred tax amounts mentioned above have been classified on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2014 and 2013 as follows (amounts in thousands):
		2014			2013
	Current assets	$	4,222		$	3,472
	Noncurrent liabilities	$	11,670		$	13,647
	The realization of deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable income of the appropriate character and in the appropriate taxing jurisdiction during the future periods in which the related temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is provided to reduce such deferred tax assets to amounts more likely than not to be ultimately realized. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company reversed a valuation allowance of $2.5 million on the deferred tax assets to increase the total amount that management believes will be ultimately realized, due to the expected increase in income following the Cable Networks Acquisition on April 1, 2014. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company had provided a valuation allowance of $2.5 million on the deferred tax assets to reduce the total amount that management believes will be ultimately realized, due to the change in the Puerto Rico corporate tax rate from 30% to 39% in June 2013.
	At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company has foreign tax credit carryforwards for U.S. federal purposes and foreign minimum credits totaling $2.6 million and $3.1 million, respectively, which expire during the years 2022 through 2024.
	Upon audit, taxing authorities may prohibit the realization of all or part of an uncertain tax position. While the Company has no history of tax audits, the Company regularly assesses the outcome of potential examinations in each of the tax jurisdictions when determining the adequacy of the amount of unrecognized tax benefit recorded. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, in income tax expense. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has no uncertain tax position reserves or related interest and penalties. However, during 2014, the Company identified an uncertain tax position and recorded a gross uncertain tax position of $0.7 million with an offsetting deferred tax asset. As a result, if this uncertain tax position is realized, only the amount related to the interest will impact the tax rate. The company accrued $0 million of interest related to this item.

Long-Term Debt	Note 7. Long-Term Debt
	Long-term debt as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 consists of the following (amounts in thousands):
		December 31, 2014			December 31, 2013

	On July 30, 2013 certain of our subsidiaries (the "Borrowers") entered into a credit agreement providing for a $175.0 million senior secured term loan B facility (the "Term Loan Facility") which matures on July 30, 2020. On July 31, 2014, certain of our subsidiaries amended the Term Loan Facility (the "Amended Term Loan Facility") which provides for an aggregate principal amount of $225.0 million and matures on July 30, 2020. Pricing on the Amended Term Loan Facility was set at LIBOR plus 400 basis points (decreased from a margin of 500 basis points) subject to a LIBOR floor of 1.00% (decreased from a LIBOR floor of 1.25%), resulting in an effective interest rate 5.00%, and 0.5% of original issue discount ("OID"). The Amended Term Loan Facility also provides an uncommitted accordion option (the "Incremental Facility") allowing for additional borrowings under the Amended Term Loan Facility up to an aggregate principal amount equal to (i) $40.0 million plus (ii) an additional amount of up to 4.0x first lien net leverage. The obligations under the Amended Term Loan Facility are guaranteed by HMTV, LLC, our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, and all of our existing and future subsidiaries (subject to certain exceptions in the case of immaterial subsidiaries). Additionally, the Amended Term Loan Facility provides for an uncommitted incremental revolving loan option in an aggregate principal amount of up to $20.0 million, which shall be secured on a pari passu basis by the collateral securing the Amended Term Loan Facility. The Amended Term Loan Facility is secured by a first-priority perfected security interest in substantially all of our assets.
	The proceeds of the Amended Term Loan Facility, were used to pay fees and expenses associated with the Cable Networks Acquisition, and for general corporate purposes including potential future acquisitions. The OID of $2.1 million, net of accumulated amortization of $0.3 million at December 31, 2014, was recorded as a reduction to the principal amount of the Amended Term Loan Facility outstanding and will be amortized as a component of interest expense over the term of the Amended Term Loan Facility. We recorded $2.8 million of deferred financing costs associated with the Term Loan Facility, as amended, net of accumulated amortization of $0.5 million at December 31, 2014, which will be amortized utilizing the effective interest rate method over the remaining term of the Amended Term Loan Facility. We recorded a $1.1 million loss on early extinguishment of debt; $0.7 million related to deferred costs and $0.4 million related to OID. Additionally, we incurred $1.0 million of deferred financing costs related to the Amended Term Loan Facility in accordance with ASC 470—Debt, which is included in Other Expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations.
	The Amended Term Loan Facility principal payments are payable on quarterly due dates commencing September 30, 2014, with a final installment on July 30, 2020.
	In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Amended Term Loan Facility, within 90 days after the end of each fiscal year (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015), the Borrowers are required to make a prepayment of the loan principal in an amount equal to 50% of the excess cash flow of the most recently completed fiscal year. Excess cash flow is generally defined as net income plus depreciation and amortization expense, less mandatory prepayments of the term loan, interest charges, income taxes and capital expenditures, and adjusted for the change in working capital. The percentage of the excess cash flow used to determine the amount of the prepayment of the loan declines from 50% to 25% and again to 0% at lower leverage ratios.

	Capitalization
	On April 4, 2013, the merger by and among Cinelatino, WAPA Holdings and Azteca providing for the acquisition of Cinelatino and the combination of WAPA Holdings and Azteca as indirect, wholly-owned subsidiaries of Hemisphere (the "Transaction") was consummated.
	In connection with the Transaction (i) the holders of Cinelatino common stock and the holder of membership interests in WAPA Holdings (the "Cinelatino/WAPA Investors") surrendered their respective interests and received an aggregate of 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 ("Class B common stock"), a cash payment equal to an aggregate of $5.0 million, and purchased 2,333,334 warrants from Azteca founders to purchase Hemisphere Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 (such warrants, "Warrants" and such stock, "Class A common stock"); (ii) each share of Azteca common stock was automatically converted into one share of Class A common stock; (iii) each Amended Azteca Warrant, as defined below, was automatically converted into an equal number of Warrants; and (iv) immediately prior to the consummation of the Transaction, Azteca Acquisition Holdings, LLC and certain existing shareholders of Azteca contributed 250,000 shares of Azteca common stock to Azteca for cancellation and agreed to subject an additional 250,000 shares of Class A common stock to certain forfeiture provisions (in addition to 735,294 shares of Class A common stock already subject to forfeiture under pre-existing agreements) if the market price of shares of Hemisphere Class A common stock does not reach certain levels. Following the consummation of the Transaction, there were 10,991,100 shares of Class A stock outstanding and 33,000,000 shares of Hemisphere Class B stock outstanding. Subsequent to the Transaction, an additional 250,000 shares of Class A restricted stock were issued. From time to time the Company has issued Class A common stock to certain members of management and board of directors as equity compensation, subject to time and performance vesting conditions, as discussed below.
	In December 2014, a shareholder of Class B common stock transferred 3.0 million shares of Class B common stock to a third party. As a result, the Class B common stock was automatically converted to Class A common stock.
	Voting
	Class B common stock votes on a 10 to 1 basis with the Class A common stock, which means that each share of Class B common stock will have 10 votes and each share of Class A common stock will have 1 vote. The Class B common stock shall be convertible in whole or in part at any time at the option of the holder or holders thereof, into an equal number of Class A common stock.
	Equity Incentive Plans
	An aggregate of 4.0 million shares of our Class A common stock were authorized for issuance under the terms of the Hemisphere Media Group, Inc. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2013 Equity Incentive Plan). At December 31, 2014, 1.0 million shares remained available for issuance of stock options or other stock-based awards under our Equity Incentive Plan (including shares of restricted Class A common stock surrendered to the Company in payment of taxes required to be withheld in respect of vested shares of restricted Class A common stock and available for issuance). The expiration date of the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, on and after which date no awards may be granted, is April 4, 2023. The Company's board of directors administers the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, and has the sole and plenary authority to, among other things: (i) designate participants; (ii) determine the type, size, and terms and conditions of awards to be granted; (iii) determine the method by which an award may be settled, exercised, canceled, forfeited, or suspended.
	The Company's time-based restricted stock awards and option awards generally vest in three equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to the grantee's continued employment or service with the Company. The Company's event-based restricted stock awards and option awards generally vest either upon the Company's Class A common stock attaining a $15.00 closing price per share, as quoted on the NASDAQ Global Market, on at least 10 trading days, subject to the grantee's continued employment or service with the Company. Other event-based restricted stock awards granted to certain members of our Board vest on the day preceding the Company's annual shareholder meeting.
	Stock-Based Compensation
	Stock-based compensation expense related to stock options and restricted stock was $5.9 million, $7.2 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. At December 31, 2014, there was $3.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options, which is expected to be recognized over weighted-average period of 2.2 years. At December 31, 2014, there was $3.7 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted stock, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.3 years.
	Stock Options
	The fair value of stock options granted is estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model for time-based options and the Monte Carlo simulation model for event-based options. The expected term of options granted is derived using the simplified method under ASC 718-10-S99-1/SEC Topic 14.D for "plain vanilla" options and the Monte Carlo simulation for event-based options. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of the Company's competitors given its lack of trading history. The risk- free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield for a period consistent with the expected term of the option in effect at the time of the grant. The Company has estimated forfeitures of 1.5%, as the awards are to management for which the Company expects lower turnover, and has assumed no dividend yield, as dividends have never been paid to stock or option holders and will not be paid for the foreseeable future.

	Restricted Stock
	Certain employees and directors have been awarded restricted stock under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan. The time-based restricted stock grants vest primarily over a period of three years.

	At December 31, 2014, 0.2 million shares of restricted stock issued are unvested, event-based shares.
	Warrants
	In connection with the capitalization of the Company noted above, the Company has issued 14.7 million warrants, which qualify as equity instruments. Each warrant entitles the holder to purchase one-half of the number of shares of our Class A common stock at a price of $6.00 per half share. At December 31, 2014, 14.7 million warrants were issued and outstanding, which are exercisable into 7.3 million shares of our Class A common stock. Warrants are only exercisable for a whole number of shares of common stock (i.e. only an even number of warrants may be exercised at any given time by a registered holder). As a result, a holder must exercise at least two warrants, at an effective exercise price of $12.00 per warrant. At the option of the Company, 10.0 million warrants may be called for redemption, provided that the last sale price of our Class A common stock reported has been at least $18.00 per share on each of twenty trading days within the thirty-day period ending on the third business day prior to the date on which notice of redemption is given. The warrants expire on April 4, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2014, we issued 50 shares of our Class A common stock upon the exercise of one hundred warrants for a total exercise proceeds of $600.

	WAPA, makes contributions to the Newspaper Guild International Pension Plan (the "Plan" or "TNGIPP"), a multiemployer pension plan with a plan year end of December 31 that provides defined benefits to certain employees covered by two collective bargaining agreements (the "CBAs"), which expire on July 23, 2015 and June 27, 2016, respectively. WAPA's contribution rates to the Plan are generally determined in accordance with the provisions of the CBAs.
	The risks in participating in such a plan are different from the risks of single-employer plans, in the following respects:
	•	Assets contributed to a multiemployer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employer.
	•	If a participating employer ceases to contribute to a multiemployer plan, the unfunded obligation of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employer.
	Under current law regarding multiemployer defined benefit plans, a plan's termination, WAPA's voluntary withdrawal, or the mass withdrawal of all contributing employers from any underfunded multiemployer defined benefit plan would require us to make payments to the plan for our proportionate share of the multiemployer plan's unfunded vested liabilities. WAPA has received Annual Funding Notices, Report of Summary Plan Information, Critical Status Notices ("Notices") and a Rehabilitation Plan, as defined by the Pension Protection Act of 2006 ("PPA"), from the Plan. The Notices indicate that the Plan actuary has certified that the Plan is in critical status, the "Red Zone", as defined by the PPA, and that a plan of rehabilitation ("Rehabilitation Plan") was adopted by the Trustees of the Plan ("Trustees") on May 1, 2010. On May 29, 2010, the Trustees sent WAPA a Notice of Reduction and Adjustment of Benefits Due to Critical Status explaining all changes adopted under the Rehabilitation Plan, including the reduction or elimination of benefits referred to as "adjustable benefits." In connection with the adoption of the Rehabilitation Plan, most of the Plan participating unions and contributing employers (including the Newspaper Guild International and WAPA), agreed to one of the "schedules" of changes as set forth under the Rehabilitation Plan. The Company elected the "preferred schedule" and executed a Memorandum of Agreement, effective May 27, 2010 (the "MOA") and agreed to the following contribution rate increases: 3.0% beginning on January 1, 2013; an additional 3.0% beginning on January 1, 2014; and an additional 3.0% beginning on January 1, 2015.
	The surcharges and effect of the Rehabilitation Plan as described above are not anticipated to have a material effect on the Company's results of operations. However, in the event other contributing employers are unable to, or fail to, meet their ongoing funding obligations, the financial impact on WAPA to contribute to any plan underfunding may be material. In addition, if a United States multiemployer defined benefit plan fails to satisfy certain minimum funding requirements, the Internal Revenue Service may impose a nondeductible excise tax of 5.0% on the amount of the accumulated funding deficiency for those employers contributing to the fund.
	WAPA could also be obligated to pay additional contributions (known as complete or partial withdrawal liabilities) due to the unfunded vested benefits of the Plan, in the event that WAPA withdrew from the plan during the five-year period beginning on the effective date of the MOA. The withdrawal liability (which could be material) in the event of the foregoing, would equal the total lump sum of contributions that WAPA would have been obligated to pay the Plan through the date of withdrawal, under the "default schedule" of the Rehabilitation Plan (5.0% surcharge in the initial year and 10% for each successive year thereafter the plan is in critical status), less any contributions actually paid by WAPA to the Plan under the "preferred schedule."

Nature of Business and Significant Accounting Policies
Reclassification	Reclassification:    Certain prior year deferred taxes have been reclassified from current to non-current on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet, which resulted in a net current deferred asset and a net non-current deferred liability to conform to the fiscal 2014 presentation with no effect on net income (loss) or stockholders' equity.
Principles of consolidation:	Principles of consolidation:    The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation:	Basis of presentation:    The accompanying consolidated financial statements for us and our subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP").
Net Earnings (Loss) per Common Share:	Net earnings (loss) per common share:    Basic earnings (loss) per share ("EPS") are computed by dividing income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the number of weighted-average outstanding shares of common stock. Diluted EPS reflects the effect of the assumed exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted shares only in the periods in which such effect would have been dilutive.
	The following table sets forth the computation of the common shares outstanding used in determining basic and diluted EPS (amounts in thousands):
		Years Ended December 31
		2014			2013			2012
	Numerator for earnings (loss) per common share calculation:
	Net income (loss)	$	10,557		$	(4,297	)	$	11,030
	Denominator for earnings (loss) per common share calculation:
	Weighted-average common shares, basic		42,321			31,143			1
	Effect of dilutive securities
	Stock options, resticted stock and warrants		301			—			—
	Weighted-average common shares, diluted		42,622			31,143			1
	EPS
	Basic	$	0.25		$	(0.14	)	$	11,030
	Diluted	$	0.25		$	(0.14	)	$	11,030
	We apply the treasury stock method to measure the dilutive effect of its outstanding warrants, stock options and restricted stock awards and include the respective common share equivalents in the denominator of our diluted income (loss) per common share calculation. Potentially dilutive securities representing 1.1 million and 0.6 million shares of common stock for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, were excluded from the computation of diluted income (loss) per common share for this period because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. There were no potentially dilutive securities for the year ended December 31, 2012. The net income (loss) per share amounts are the same for our Class A and Class B common stock because the holders of each class are legally entitled to equal per share distributions whether through dividends or in liquidation.
	In computing earnings per share, the Company's Nonvoting Stock is considered a participating security. Each share of Nonvoting Stock has identical rights, powers, limitations and restrictions in all respects as each share of common of the Company, including the right to receive the same consideration per share payable in respect of each share of common stock, except that holders of Nonvoting Stock shall have no voting rights or powers whatsoever.
Revenue recognition:	Revenue recognition:    Revenue related to the sale of advertising and contracted time is recognized at the time of broadcast. Retransmission consent fees and subscriber fees received from cable, telecommunications and satellite operators are recognized in the period in which the services are performed, generally pursuant to multi-year carriage agreements based on the number of subscribers.
Barter transactions:	Barter transactions:    The Company engages in barter transactions in which advertising time is exchanged for products or services. Barter transactions are accounted for at the estimated fair value of the products or services received, or advertising time given up, whichever is more clearly determinable. Barter revenue is recognized at the time the advertising is broadcast. Barter expense is recorded at the time the merchandise or services are used and/or received.
	Barter revenue and expense included in the consolidated statements of operations are as follows (amounts in thousands):
		2014			2013			2012
	Barter revenue	$	1,311		$	1,448		$	1,363
	Barter expense		(1,075	)		(1,360	)		(996	)
		$	236		$	88		$	367
Programming costs:	Programming costs:    Programming costs are recorded in cost of revenues based on the Company's contractual agreements with various third party programming distributors which are generally multi-year agreements.
Stock based compensation:	Stock-based compensation:    We have given equity incentives to certain employees. We account for such equity incentives in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 718 "Stock Compensation," which requires us to measure compensation cost for equity settled awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation cost in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service or performance period the award is expected to vest. Compensation cost is determined by using either the Monte Carlo simulation model or the Black-Scholes option pricing model.
Advertising and marketing costs:	Advertising and marketing costs:    The Company expenses advertising and marketing costs as incurred. The Company incurred advertising and marketing costs of $2.2 million, $1.3 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
Cash:	Cash:    The Company maintains its cash in bank deposit accounts which, at times, may exceed federally-insured limits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts.
Accounts receivable:	Accounts receivable:    Accounts receivable are carried at the original charge amount less an estimate made for doubtful receivables based on a review of all outstanding amounts. Management determines the allowance for doubtful accounts by regularly evaluating individual customer receivables and considering a customer's financial condition and current economic conditions. Accounts receivable are written off when deemed uncollectible. Recoveries of accounts receivable previously written off are recorded as income when received. The Company considers an account receivable to be past due if any portion of the receivable balance is outstanding for more than 90 days. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):
	Year	Description		Beginning			Additions			Write-offs		Recoveries		End
				of Year										of Year

	Due from related parties:    Certain amounts due from related parties are presented net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts based on management's expectations related to the realization of the related parties' collections and remittances from the Company's customers. Changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 consisted of the following (amounts in thousands):

	2012	Allowance for doubtful accounts			—			—			—		—		—
Programming rights:
	Programming rights:    We enter into multi-year license agreements with various programming distributors for distribution of their respective programming ("programming rights") and capitalize amounts paid to secure or extend these programming rights at the lower of unamortized cost or estimated net realizable value. If management estimates that the unamortized cost of programming rights exceeds the estimated net realizable value, an adjustment is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the programming rights. No such write down was deemed necessary during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012. We amortize these programming rights over the term of the related license agreements or the number of exhibitions, whichever occurs first. The amortization of these rights, which was $10.4 million, $9.3 million and $7.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively, is recorded as part of cost of revenues in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Accumulated amortization of the programming rights was $10.3 million and $13.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Costs incurred in connection with the purchase of programs to be broadcast within one year are classified as current assets, while costs of those programs to be broadcast subsequently are considered noncurrent. Program obligations are classified as current or noncurrent in accordance with the payment terms of the license agreement.
Property and equipment:	Property and equipment:    Property and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation is determined using the straight-line method over the expected remaining useful lives of the respective assets. Useful lives range from 1 - 19 years for improvements, equipment, buildings and towers. Upon retirement or other disposition, the cost and related accumulated depreciation of the assets are removed from the accounts and the resulting gain or loss is reflected in the determination of net income or loss. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Property and equipment is reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable.
Goodwill and other intangibles:	Goodwill and other intangibles:    The Company's goodwill is recorded as a result of the Company's business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting. Indefinite lived intangible assets include a broadcast license, trademark and tradename. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, non-compete agreement and affiliate agreements with an estimated useful life of one to ten years. Other intangible assets are amortized over their estimated lives using the straight-line method. Costs incurred to renew or extend the term of recognized intangible assets are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the asset.
	The Company tests its broadcast license annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such assets might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value of these assets with their carrying amounts using a discounted cash flow valuation method, assuming a hypothetical start-up scenario.
	The Company tests its goodwill annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill might be impaired. The first step of the goodwill impairment test compares the fair value of each reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. The fair value of the reporting units are determined through the use of a discounted cash flow analysis incorporating variables such as revenue projections, projected operating cash flow margins, and discount rates.
	The valuation assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model reflect historical performance of the Company and prevailing values in the broadcast and cable markets. If the fair value exceeds the carrying amount, goodwill is not considered impaired. If the carrying amount exceeds the fair value, the second step of the goodwill impairment test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss, if any. The second step of the goodwill impairment test compares the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. If the carrying amount of goodwill exceeds the implied fair value, an impairment loss shall be recognized in an amount equal to that excess.
	The Company tests its other indefinite lived intangible asset annually for impairment or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that such asset might be impaired. This analysis is performed by comparing the respective carrying value of the asset to the current and expected future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, to be generated from such asset. If such analysis indicates that the carrying value of this asset is not recoverable, the carrying value of such asset is reduced to fair value.
Deferred financing costs:	Deferred financing costs:    Deferred financing costs are recorded net of accumulated amortization. Amortization is calculated on the effective-interest method over the term of the applicable loan. Amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.5 million, $0.6 million and $0.9 million which is included in interest expense, net in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $0.5 million and $0.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Income taxes:	Income taxes:    Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of management, it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date.
	We record foreign withholding tax, which is withheld by foreign customers from their remittances to us, on a gross basis as a component of income taxes and separate from revenue in the consolidated statement of operations.
	We follow the accounting standard on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, which addresses the determination of whether tax benefits claimed or expected to be claimed on a tax return should be recorded in the financial statements. Under this guidance, we may recognize the tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is more-likely-than-not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefits recognized in the financial statements from such a position are measured based on the largest benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. The guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes also addresses de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties on income taxes, and accounting in interim periods. To the extent that interest and penalties are assessed by taxing authorities on any underpayment of income taxes, such amounts are accrued and classified as a component of income tax expense.
Fair value of financial instruments:	Fair value of financial instruments:    The carrying amounts of cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short maturity of these items. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value because this instrument bears interest at a variable rate and is at terms currently available to the Company.
	Generally accepted accounting principles establish a framework for measuring fair value and expanded disclosures about fair value measurements. This guidance enables the reader of the financial statements to assess the inputs used to develop those measurements by establishing a hierarchy for ranking the quality and reliability of the information used to determine fair values. Under this guidance, assets and liabilities carried at fair value must be classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
	Level 1—inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date.
	Level 2—inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices in markets that are not active or quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, and inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the financial instrument.
	Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable, reflecting the entity's own assumptions about assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
	The categorization of an asset or liability within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Valuation techniques used need to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs.
	The Company's programming rights and goodwill are classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, as they are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis and are adjusted to fair value only when the carrying values exceed their fair values. For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 there were no adjustments to fair value.
	The Company's variable-rate debt is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, as its estimated fair value is derived from quoted market prices by independent dealers. The carrying value of the long-term debt approximates fair value at December 31, 2014 and 2013.
Recent accounting pronouncements:	Recent accounting pronouncements:    In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-12, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718)—Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period, which requires that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. We do not expect there to be material impact on the consolidated financial statements as a result of this standard.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09—Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09"), a comprehensive revenue recognition model that supersedes the current revenue recognition requirements and most industry-specific guidance. The underlying core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the first interim period within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and allows adoption either under a full retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. We will adopt ASU 2014-09 during the first quarter of 2017. We are currently evaluating the impact of the new standard.
Use of estimates:	Use of estimates:    In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management had to make estimates and assumptions that affected the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the balance sheets date, and the reported revenues and expenses for the years then ended. Such estimates are based on historical experience and other assumptions that are considered appropriate in the circumstances. However, actual results could differ from those estimates.
