(1) Operating expenses include direct operating, selling, general and
administrative expenses. Included in operating expenses are $0.4 million and
$0.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the three-month periods
ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively and $0.7 million and $0.7 million
of non-cash stock-based compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30,
2008 and 2007, respectively. Operating expenses do not include corporate
expenses, depreciation and amortization and gain (loss) on sale of assets.

(2) Corporate expenses include $0.5 million and $0.4 million of non-cash
stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and
2007, respectively and $0.9 million and $1.0 million of non-cash stock-based
compensation for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007,
respectively.

(3) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means operating income (loss) plus (gain)
loss on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based
compensation included in operating and corporate expenses and syndication
programming amortization less syndication programming payments. We use the
term consolidated adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our
syndicated bank credit facility and does not include (gain) loss on sale of
assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash stock-based compensation, net
interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income (loss) of
nonconsolidated affiliate, loss from discontinued operations and syndication
programming amortization and does include syndication programming payments.
The definition of operating income (loss), and thus consolidated adjusted
EBITDA, excludes (gain) loss on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization,
non-cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, income tax expense
(benefit), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, loss from
discontinued operations and syndication programming amortization. While many
in the financial community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be
important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for
or superior to, other measures of liquidity and financial performance prepared
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America, such as cash flows from operating activities, operating
income and net income. As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash
(gain) loss of sales of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-
cash stock-based compensation, net interest expense, income tax expense
(benefit), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate, loss from
discontinued operations and syndication programming amortization and includes
syndication programming payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain
limitations because it excludes and includes several important non-cash
financial line items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures
when evaluating our business. Consolidated adjusted EBITDA is also used to
make executive compensation decisions.

(4) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash
paid for income taxes, net interest expense and capital expenditures. Net
interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash interest
expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, less interest income
less the change in the fair value of our interest rate swaps. Free cash flow
per share is defined as free cash flow divided by the diluted weighted average
common shares outstanding.

Commenting on the Company’s earnings results, Walter Ulloa, Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer, said, “During the second quarter we continued to
drive audience growth and strengthen the position of our TV and radio stations
in an advertising market that remains weak due to general economic conditions.
We are taking additional steps to control our costs while continuing to make
prudent investments in our content, marketing and sales capabilities. In
addition, our balance sheet remains strong and we have ample financial
flexibility. The nation’s Hispanic population continues to grow and we remain
optimally positioned to capitalize on this opportunity over the long-term.”

The Company also announced that it repurchased 2.3 million shares of Class
A common stock for approximately $13.7 million in the second quarter of 2008.
The Company announced that it repurchased an additional 1.0 million shares of
Class A common stock for approximately $3.4 million so far in the third
quarter of 2008.

(1) Operating expenses and corporate expenses are defined on page 1.

Net revenue decreased to $62.9 million for the three-month period ended
June 30, 2008 from $66.5 million for the three-month period ended June 30,
2007, a decrease of $3.6 million. Of the overall decrease, $2.3 million came
from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in second
quarter revenue of $1.2 million associated with moving our annual Los Angeles
promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008, as
well as a decrease in local advertising sales and local advertising rates,
which in turn was primarily due to the weak economy. Additionally, $1.3
million of the decrease came from our television segment and was primarily
attributable to a decrease in national advertising sales and national
advertising rates, which in turn was primarily due to the weak economy.

Operating expenses increased to $36.9 million for the three-month period
ended June 30, 2008 from $36.8 million for the three-month period ended June
30, 2007, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable
to an increase in wages, utility and rent expense, partially offset by a
decrease in second quarter expenses associated with moving our annual Los
Angeles promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008
and a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue.

Corporate expenses increased to $4.5 million for three-month period ended
June 30, 2008 from $4.4 million for the three-month period ended June 30,
2007, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was attributable to an
increase in non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.1 million.

June 30, 2008 from $123.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2007, a decrease of $4.8 million. Of the overall decrease, $2.8 million came
from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in revenue
of $1.2 million associated with moving our annual Los Angeles promotional
event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008, as well as a
decrease in local advertising sales and local advertising rates, which in turn
was primarily due to the weak economy. Additionally, $2.0 million of the
decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a
decrease in national advertising rates, which in turn was primarily due to the
weak economy.

Operating expenses increased to $72.3 million for the six-month period
ended June 30, 2008 from $71.8 million for the six-month period ended June 30,
2007, an increase of $0.5 million. The increase was primarily attributable to
an increase in wages, utility and rent expense, partially offset by a decrease
in second quarter expenses associated with moving our annual Los Angeles
promotional event from the second quarter to the third quarter in 2008 and a
decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in net revenue.

Corporate expenses decreased to $8.9 million for six-month period ended
June 30, 2008 from $9.0 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007,
a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was attributable to a decrease in
non-cash stock-based compensation of $0.1 million.
