Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains both historical and forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, (the “Securities Act”) and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect our current expectations concerning future results and events. These forward-looking statements generally can be identified by the use of statements that include phrases such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “estimate”, “plan”, “project”, “foresee”, “likely”, “will” or other words or phrases with similar meanings. Similarly, statements that describe our objectives, plans or goals are, or may be, forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to be different from any future results, performance and anticipated achievements expressed or implied by these statements. We do not intend to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. In addition, forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from our historical experience and our present expectations or projections. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to those described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, and those described from time to time in our future reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. Basis of Presentation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the Company, we, us, our or SBS). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 and for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 have been prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 8-03 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements as of, and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011, included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which are all of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods. Additionally, we evaluated subsequent events after the balance sheet date of March 31, 2012 through the financial statements issuance date. The results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results for a full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include: the useful lives of fixed assets, allowance for doubtful accounts, the valuation of derivatives, deferred tax assets, fixed assets, intangible assets, stock-based compensation, contingencies and litigation. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. Illiquid credit markets, volatile equity markets and reductions in advertising spending have combined to increase the uncertainty inherent in such estimates and assumptions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

2. Stockholders’ Deficit

(a) Reverse Stock Split of our Class A and Class B Common Stock

On July 5, 2011, we filed the Certificate of Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which effected a one-for-ten (1-for-10) reverse stock split of our outstanding Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A common stock”) and Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class B common stock”). The reverse stock split became effective at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time on July 11, 2011.

The reverse stock split was approved by our stockholders at the annual meeting held on June 1, 2011. The trading of our common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on a split-adjusted basis began at the opening of trading on July 12, 2011, at which time the symbol changed to SBSAD to indicate that the reverse stock split had occurred. The symbol returned to the normal SBSA at the open of the market on August 9, 2011.

As a result of the reverse stock split, each ten (10) outstanding shares of pre-split common stock automatically combined into one (1) share of post-split common stock. No fractional shares were issued. Proportional adjustments were made to our outstanding stock, stock options and other equity awards and to our equity compensation plans to reflect the reverse stock split. The consolidated financial statements for current and prior periods have been adjusted to reflect the change in number of shares.

(b) Series C Convertible Preferred Stock

On December 23, 2004, in connection with the closing of the merger agreement, dated October 5, 2004, with CBS Radio (formerly known as Infinity Media Corporation, CBS Radio), a division of CBS Corporation, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation of San Francisco (“Infinity SF”) and SBS Bay Area, LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of SBS, pursuant to which SBS acquired the FCC license of Infinity SF (the “CBS Radio Merger”), we issued to CBS Radio an aggregate of 380,000 shares of Series C convertible preferred stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Series C preferred stock”). Each share of Series C preferred stock is convertible at the option of the holder into two fully paid and non-assessable shares of the Class A common stock. The shares of Series C preferred stock issued at the closing of the CBS Radio Merger are convertible into 760,000 shares of Class A common stock, subject to certain adjustments. The number of Class A common stock shares reflects a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effectuated by the Company at 11:59 p.m., Eastern Daylight Time on July 11, 2011. In connection with the CBS Radio Merger, we also entered into a registration rights agreement with CBS Radio, pursuant to which CBS Radio may instruct us to file up to three registration statements, on a best efforts basis, with the SEC, providing for the registration for resale of the Class A common stock issuable upon conversion of the Series C preferred stock.

We are required to pay holders of Series C preferred stock dividends on parity with our Class A common stock and Class B common stock, and each other class or series of our capital stock created after December 23, 2004.

(c) Class A and B Common Stock

The rights of the Class A common stock holders and Class B common stock holders are identical except with respect to their voting rights and conversion provisions. The Class A common stock is entitled to one vote per share and the Class B common stock is entitled to ten votes per share. The Class B common stock is convertible to Class A common stock on a share-for-share basis at the option of the holder at any time, or automatically upon a transfer of the Class B common stock to a person or entity which is not a permitted transferee (as described in our Certificate of Incorporation). Holders of each class of common stock are entitled to receive dividends and, upon liquidation or dissolution, are entitled to receive all assets available for distribution to stockholders. Neither the holders of the Class A common stock nor the holders of the Class B common stock have preemptive or other subscription rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions with respect to such shares. Each class of common stock is subordinate to our 10 3/4% Series B cumulative exchangeable redeemable preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series B preferred stock”). The Series B preferred stock has a liquidation preference of $1,000 per share and is on parity with the Series C preferred stock with respect to dividend rights and rights upon liquidation, winding up and dissolution of SBS.

(d) Share-Based Compensation Plans

2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan

In July 2006, we adopted an omnibus equity compensation plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) in which grants of Class A common stock can be made to participants in any of the following forms: (i) incentive stock options, (ii) non-qualified stock options, (iii) stock appreciation rights, (iv) stock units, (v) stock awards, (vi) dividend equivalents, and (vii) other stock-based awards. The Omnibus Plan authorizes up to 350,000 shares of our Class A common stock for issuance, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances. The Omnibus Plan provides that the maximum aggregate number of shares of Class A common stock units, stock awards and other stock-based awards that may be granted, other than dividend equivalents, to any individual during any calendar year is 100,000 shares, subject to adjustments.

Stock Options Activity

Stock options have only been granted to employees and directors. Our stock options have various vesting schedules and are subject to the employees and directors continuing their service to SBS. We recognize compensation expense based on the estimated grant date fair value using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and recognize the compensation expense using a straight-line amortization method. When estimating forfeitures, we consider voluntary termination behaviors, as well as trends of actual option forfeitures. Ultimately, our stock-based compensation expense is based on awards that vest. Our stock-based compensation has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

A summary of the status of our stock options, as of December 31, 2011 and March 31, 2012, and changes during the three-months ended March 31, 2012, is presented below (in thousands, except per share data):


								Weighted
				Weighted				Average
				Average		Aggregate		Remaining
				Exercise		Intrinsic		Contractual
	Shares			Price		Value		Life (Years)
Outstanding at December 31, 2011		159		$	49.49

Exercised		—			—
Forfeited		(15	)		91.00

Outstanding at March 31, 2012		144		$	45.17	$	133		4.9

Exercisable at March 31, 2012		141		$	45.75	$	133		4.8

During the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, no stock options were exercised; therefore, no cash payments were received. In addition, we did not recognize a tax benefit on our stock-based compensation expense due to our valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets.

The following table summarizes information about stock options outstanding and exercisable at March 31, 2012 (in thousands, except per share data):


							Weighted

3. Basic and Diluted Net (Loss) Income Per Common Share

Basic net (loss) income per common share was computed by dividing net (loss) income applicable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock and convertible preferred stock outstanding for each period presented, using the “if converted” method. Diluted net (loss) income per common share is computed by giving effect to common stock equivalents as if they were outstanding for the entire period.

The following is a reconciliation of the shares used in the computation of basic and diluted net income per share for the three- month periods ended March 31, 2012 and 2011 (in thousands):


	Three-Months Ended

5. Income Taxes

We have determined that due to a variety of reasons, we are currently unable to estimate our annual effective tax rate during our interim periods, which would be applied to our pre-tax ordinary income. We are calculating our effective income tax rate using a year-to-date income tax calculation. Our income tax expense differs from the statutory federal tax rate of 35% and related statutory state tax rates, primarily as a result of the reversal of our deferred tax liabilities related to the tax amortization of our FCC broadcasting licenses, which could no longer be assured over our net operating loss carry forward period. Therefore, our effective tax rate is impacted by the establishment of a valuation allowance on substantially all of our deferred tax assets.

We file federal, state and local income tax returns in the United States and Puerto Rico. The tax years that remain subject to assessment of additional liabilities by the United States federal, state, and local tax authorities are 2008 through 2011. The tax years that remain subject to assessment of additional liabilities by the Puerto Rico tax authority are 2007 through 2011.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2012.

6. Litigation

We are subject to certain legal proceedings and claims that have arisen in the ordinary course of business and have not been fully adjudicated. In our opinion, we do not have a potential liability related to any current legal proceedings and claims that would individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or operating results. However, the results of legal proceedings cannot be predicted with certainty. Should we fail to prevail in any of these legal matters or should all of these legal matters be resolved against us in the same reporting period, the operating results of a particular reporting period could be materially adversely affected.

7. Fair Value Measurement Disclosures

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Cash and cash equivalents, receivables, as well as accounts payable and accrued expenses, and other current liabilities, as reflected in the consolidated financial statements, approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments and are considered Level 1 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. The estimated fair value of our other long-term debt instruments, approximate their carrying amounts as the interest rates approximate our current borrowing rate for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity, or have variable interest rates.

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

The estimated fair values of our financial instruments are as follows (in millions):


			March 31, 2012				December 31, 2011
Description	Fair Value Hierarchy		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
12.5% senior secured notes due 2017		Level 3	$	266.9		273.3				—
Senior credit facility term loan due 2012		Level 3		—		—		303.1		281.3
10³/₄% Series B cumulative exchangeable redeemable preferred stock		Level 3		92.3		76.1		92.3		67.2
Promissory notes payable, included in other long-term debt		Level 3		6.1		4.2		6.1		3.1
Promissory notes payable, included in other long-term debt		Level 3		8.0		7.6		8.0		6.6

The fair value estimates of these financial instruments were based upon either: (a) market quotes from a major financial institution taking into consideration the most recent market activity, or (b) a discounted cash flow analysis taking into consideration current rates.

8. Refinancing of our First Lien Credit Facility due 2012

On February 7, 2012 we closed our offering of $275 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.5% senior secured notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 97% of the principal amount. The Notes were offered solely by means of a private placement either to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or to certain persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act, as amended. We used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to repay and terminate the First Lien Credit Facility, and to pay the transaction costs related to the offering. As a result of the repayment and termination of the First Lien Credit Facility, we recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs of approximately $0.4 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.

Interest

The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 12.5% per year. Interest on the Notes is paid semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2012. After April 15, 2013, interest will accrue at a rate of 12.5% per annum on (i) the original amount of the Notes plus (ii) any Additional Interest (as defined below) payable but unpaid in any prior interest period, payable in cash on each interest payment date. Further, beginning on the interest payment date occurring on April 15, 2013, additional interest will be payable at a rate of 2.00% per annum (the “Additional Interest”) on (i) the original principal amount of the Notes plus (ii) any amount of Additional Interest payable but unpaid in any prior interest period, to be paid in cash, at our election, (x) on the applicable interest payment date or (y) on the earliest of the maturity date of the Notes, any acceleration of the Notes and any redemption of the Notes; provided that no Additional Interest will be payable on any interest payment date if, for the applicable fiscal period, either (a) we record positive consolidated station operating income for our television segment or (b) our secured leverage ratio on a consolidated basis is less than 4.75 to 1.00.

Collateral and Ranking

The Notes and the guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by a security interest in certain of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future tangible and intangible assets (other than “Excluded Assets” (as defined in the Indenture)). The Notes and the guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Notes and guarantees will be senior to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral.

The Indenture permits us, under specified circumstances, to incur additional debt in the future. The amount of such debt is limited by the covenants contained in the Indenture.

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company that rank equally with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (which excludes (i) our existing and future subsidiaries formed in Puerto Rico (the “Puerto Rican Subsidiaries”), (ii) our future subsidiaries formed under the laws of foreign jurisdictions and (iii) our existing and future subsidiaries, whether domestic or foreign, of the Puerto Rican Subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries) and our other domestic subsidiaries that guarantee certain of our other debt. The Notes and guarantees will be structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Covenants and Other Matters

The Indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of the guarantors to:

•

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

•

pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

•

incur restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions from our restricted subsidiaries;

•

engage in sale-lease back transactions;

•

enter into new lines of business;

•

make certain payments to holders of notes that consent to amendments to the indenture governing the notes without paying such amounts to all holders of notes;

•

create or incur certain liens;

•

make certain investments and acquisitions;

•

transfer or sell assets;

•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

•

merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

The Indenture contains certain customary representations and warranties, affirmative covenants and events of default which could, subject to certain conditions, cause the Notes to become immediately due and payable, including, but not limited to, the failure to make premium or interest payments; failure by the Company to accept and pay for Notes tendered when and as required by the change of control and asset sale provisions of the Indenture; failure to comply with certain covenants in the Indenture; failure to comply with certain agreements in the Indenture for a period of 60 days following notice by the Trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding; failure to pay any debt within any applicable grace period after the final maturity or acceleration of such debt by the holders thereof because of a default, if the total amount of such debt unpaid or accelerated exceeds $15 million; failure to pay final judgments entered by a court or courts of competent jurisdiction aggregating $15 million or more (excluding amounts covered by insurance), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed, for a period of 60 days; and certain events of bankruptcy or insolvency.

9. Dividend Payments on our 10 ³/4% Series B Cumulative Exchangeable Redeemable Preferred Stock

Under the terms of our Series B preferred stock, the holders of the outstanding shares of the Series B preferred stock are entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors out of funds of the Company legally available therefor, dividends on the Series B preferred stock at a rate of 10 3/4% per year, of the $1,000 liquidation preference per share. All dividends are cumulative, whether or not earned or declared, and are payable quarterly in arrears on specified dividend payment dates.

In determining whether to declare and pay any prior or future cash dividends, our Board of Directors considers management’s recommendation, our financial condition, as well as whether funds are legally available to make such payments and the dividend would otherwise be permitted under the Delaware General Corporate Law.

On April 4, 2012 and April 5, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend for the dividend due April 15, 2012 and 2011 to the holders of our Series B preferred stock of record as of April 1, 2012 and 2011. The cash dividends of $26.875 per share were paid in cash on April 16, 2012 and April 15, 2011.

Our Board of Directors, under management’s recommendation, has previously determined that based on the circumstances at the time, among other things, the then current economic environment and our future cash requirements, it was not prudent to declare or pay the dividends scheduled for January 15, 2012, October 15, 2011, July 15, 2011 and January 15, 2011.

If dividends on our Series B preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for four consecutive quarters, a “voting rights triggering event” will have occurred. Following the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a voting rights triggering event, holders of the Series B preferred stock will be entitled to elect two directors to newly created positions on our board of directors, and we will be subject to more restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on our ability to incur any additional indebtedness and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions, redeem or repurchase securities, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge or consolidate with (or sell substantially all of our assets to) any other person. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011for a further discussion of our Series B preferred stock, including the consequences of not paying such dividends.

Item 2.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

General Overview

We own and/or operate 21 radio stations in markets that reach approximately 41% of the Hispanic population in the United States, including Puerto Rico. In addition, we broadcast via our owned and operated television stations in South Florida and Houston and through distribution agreements with eight other stations, including nationally on a subscriber basis, which allow us to serve television markets representing over 15% of U.S. Hispanics. We operate two reportable segments: radio and television.

Our radio stations are located in six of the eight most populous Hispanic markets in the United States: Los Angeles, New York, Puerto Rico, Chicago, Miami and San Francisco. Los Angeles and New York have the largest and second largest Hispanic populations and are also the largest and second largest radio markets in the United States measured by advertising revenue, respectively. We format the programming of each of our radio stations to capture a substantial share of the Hispanic audience in their respective markets. The U.S. Hispanic population is diverse, consisting of numerous identifiable ethnic groups from many different countries of origin, and each ethnic group has its own musical and cultural heritage. Since the music, culture, customs and Spanish dialects vary from one radio market to another, we strive to maintain familiarity with the musical tastes and preferences of each of the various Hispanic ethnic groups. To accommodate and monetize such diversity, we customize our programming to match the local preferences of our target demographic audience in each market we serve. For the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, our radio revenue was generated primarily from the sale of local, national and network advertising, and our radio segment generated 86% – 87% of our consolidated net revenue.

Our television stations and related affiliates operate under the “MegaTV” brand. We have created a unique television format which focuses on entertainment, current events and variety with high-quality content. Our programming is formatted to capture a larger share of the U.S. Hispanic audience by focusing on our core strengths as an “entertainment” company, thus offering a new alternative compared to the traditional Hispanic television channels. MegaTV’s programming is based on a strategy designed to showcase a combination of programs, ranging from televised radio-branded shows to general entertainment programs, such as music, celebrity, debate, interviews and personality based shows. As part of our strategy, we have incorporated certain of our radio on-air personalities into our television programming. In addition, we have included interactive elements into our programming to complement our Internet websites. We produce over 50 hours of original programming per week. For the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, our television revenue was generated primarily from the sale of local advertising and paid programming and generated 13% – 14% of our consolidated net revenues.

As part of our operating business, we also own 21 bilingual websites, including www.lamusica.com, Mega.tv and various station websites that provide content related to Latin music, entertainment, news and culture. LaMusica.com and our network of station websites generate revenue primarily from advertising and sponsorship. In addition, the majority of our station websites simultaneously stream our stations’ content, which has broadened the audience reach of our radio stations. In addition, we produce live concerts and events in the United States and Puerto Rico. Concerts generate revenue from ticket sales, sponsorship and promotions while raising awareness of our brands in the surrounding communities. These distinct offerings provide additional synergistic opportunities for our advertising partners to reach their targeted audiences.

Business Drivers and Financial Statement Presentation

The following discussion provides a brief description of certain key items that appear in our consolidated financial statements and general business factors that impact these items.

Net Revenue Description and Factors

Our net revenue is primarily derived from the sale of advertising airtime to local and national advertisers. Net revenue is gross revenue less agency commissions, which are generally 15% of gross revenue.

•

Local revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sold in a station’s local market either directly to the advertiser or through an advertiser’s agency. Local revenue includes local spot sales, integrated sales, sponsorship sales and paid-programming (or infomercials). For the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, local revenue comprised 66% of our gross revenue.

•

National and network revenue generally consists of advertising airtime sold to agencies purchasing advertising for multiple markets. National sales are generally facilitated by our national representation firm, which serves as our agent in these transactions. For the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, national revenue comprised 13—17% of our gross revenue. Network sales generally consists of advertising airtime sold to our network sales partner and for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, comprised 3% – 5% of our gross revenue.

Our net revenue is generally determined by the advertising rates that we are able to charge and the number of advertisements that we can broadcast without jeopardizing listenership/viewership levels. Each station broadcasts a predetermined number of advertisements per hour with the actual number depending upon the format of a particular station and any programming strategy we are utilizing to attract an audience. The number of advertisements we decide to broadcast hourly is intended to maximize the station’s revenue without negatively impacting its audience listener/viewer levels. While there may be shifts from time to time in the number of advertisements broadcast during a particular time of the day, the total number of advertisements broadcast on a particular station generally does not vary significantly from year to year.

Our advertising rates are primarily based on the following factors:

•

a station’s audience share in the demographic groups targeted by advertisers which are measured by ratings agencies, primarily Arbitron and Nielsen;

•

the number of stations, as well as other forms of media, in the market competing for the attention of the same demographic groups;

•

the supply of, and demand for, advertising time; and

•

the size of the market.

Our net revenue is also affected by general economic conditions, competition and our ability to improve operations at our market clusters. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are also common in the broadcasting industry and are primarily due to variations in advertising expenditures by local and national advertisers. Our net revenue is typically lowest in the first calendar quarter of the year.

In addition to advertising revenue, we also generate revenue from barter sales, special events revenue, interactive revenue, syndication revenue, subscriber revenue and other revenue. For the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, these revenues combined comprised approximately 13% – 18% of our gross revenue.

•

Barter sales. We use barter sales agreements to reduce cash paid for operating costs and expenses by exchanging advertising airtime for goods or services. However, we endeavor to minimize barter revenue in order to maximize cash revenue from our available airtime.

•

Special events revenue. We generate special events revenue from ticket sales and event sponsorships, as well as profit-sharing arrangements by producing or co-producing live concerts and events promoted by our radio and television stations.

•

Interactive revenue. We derive internet revenue from our websites through the sale of advertiser promotions and advertising on our websites and the sale of advertising airtime during audio streaming of our radio stations over the internet.

•

Syndication revenue. We receive syndication revenue from licensing various MegaTV content internationally.

•

Subscriber revenue. We receive subscriber revenue in the form of a per subscriber based fee, which is paid to us by satellite operators.

•

Other revenue. We receive other ancillary revenue such as rental income.

Operating Expenses Description and Factors

Our operating expenses consist primarily of (1) engineering and programming expenses, (2) selling, general and administrative and (3) corporate expenses.

•

Engineering and programming expenses. Engineering and programming expenses are related to the delivery and creation of our programming content on the air. These expenses include compensation and benefits for employees involved in engineering and programming, transmitter-related expenses, originally produced content, on-air promotions, acquired programming, music license fees, broadcasting rights fees and other expenses.

•

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Selling, general and administrative expenses are related to the costs of selling our programming content and administrative costs associated with operating and managing our stations. These expenses include compensation and benefits for employees involved in selling and administrative functions, commissions, rating services, advertising, barter expenses, facilities expenses, special events expenses, professional fees, insurance, allowance for doubtful accounts and other expenses.

•

Corporate expenses. Corporate expenses are related to the operations of our corporate offices and matters. These expenses include compensation and benefits for our corporate employees, professional fees, insurance, corporate facilities expenses and other expenses.

We strive to control our operating expenses by centralizing certain functions at our corporate offices and consolidating certain functions in each of our market clusters. Also, in our pursuit to control our operating expenses, we work closely with our local station management and vendors.

Net Revenue

The increase in our consolidated net revenue of $1.3 million, or 4%, was due to the increase in our radio segment. Our radio segment net revenue increased $1.3 million or 5%, primarily due to local sales, special events revenue and barter sales, offset by decreases in national and network sales. The increase in local sales occurred in our New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco markets. The increase in special events revenue occurred mainly in our Puerto Rico and Miami markets. The increase in barter sales occurred throughout most of our markets. The decrease in national and network sales occurred in all of our markets. Our television segment net revenues were flat, primarily as a result of increases in paid-programming, other revenues and barter sales, offset by decreases in local spot sales and integrated sales.

Engineering and Programming Expenses

The decrease in our consolidated engineering and programming expenses of $1.8 million or 18% was due to the decreases in both our radio and television segments. Our radio segment expenses decreased $1.1 million or 17%, primarily due to decreases in legal settlements and music license fees. Our television segment expenses decreased $0.7 million or 18%, mainly due to decreases in originally produced programming and a reduction in broadcasting rights fees. We were able to terminate our programming agreement for our New York outlet in the third quarter of 2011, which eliminated the related broadcasting rights fee.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses

The increase in our consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.8 million or 14% was due to the increase in our radio segment expenses. Our radio segment expenses increased $2.1 million or 20%, mainly due to an increase in special events expenses, barter expense, local commissions and compensation and benefits. Our television segment expenses decreased $0.3 million or 13%, primarily due to decreases in professional fees and advertising and promotions.

Corporate Expenses

The increase in corporate expenses of $0.4 million or 22% was primarily a result of an increase in compensation and benefits related to bonuses for the successful 2012 refinancing of our senior credit facility, offset by a decrease in professional fees.

Operating Income

The increase in operating income of $0.7 million or 17% was mainly due to the increase in net revenue.

Interest Expense, Net

The increase in interest expense of $4.8 million or 236% was due to the increase in our interest rate and amortization of deferred financing costs related to our new 12.5% senior secured notes due 2017. On February 7, 2012, we issued $275 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.5% senior secured notes due 2017 at an issue price of 97% of the principal amount. We used the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay and terminate the senior credit facility, and to pay the transaction costs related to this offering. Our new senior secured notes have an effective interest rate of approximately 13.3%, including the original issue discount. We also incurred approximately $17.4 million in transaction costs, which will be amortized over the life of our new senior secured notes and recorded as interest expense.

Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt

The loss on the early extinguishment of debt was due to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs related to the repayment and termination of the senior credit facility, on February 7, 2012.

Income Taxes

The decrease in income tax expense was primarily a result of the decrease in our FCC broadcasting licenses tax amortization.

Net (Loss) Income

The decrease in net income was primarily due to the increase in interest expense.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents and cash expected to be provided by operations. We do not currently have a revolving credit facility or other working capital lines of credit. Our cash flow from operations is subject to factors impacting our customers and target audience, such as overall advertising demand, shifts in population, station listenership and viewership, demographics, audience tastes and fluctuations in preferred advertising media. Our ability to raise funds by increasing our indebtedness is limited by the terms of the certificate of designations governing our Series B preferred stock and by the terms of the indenture governing the Notes. Additionally, our certificate of designations and the indenture governing the Notes place restrictions on us with respect to the sale of assets, liens, investments, dividends, debt repayments, transactions with affiliates, and consolidations and mergers, among other things.

Our strategy is to primarily utilize cash flows from operations to meet our capital needs and contractual obligations. Management continually projects anticipated cash requirements and believes that cash from operating activities, together with cash on hand, should be sufficient to permit us to meet our operating obligations over the next twelve month period, including, among other things, required semi-annual interest payments pursuant to the Notes due April 2017 and capital expenditures, excluding the acquisitions of major FCC broadcasting licenses. Disruptions in the capital and credit markets may result in increased borrowing costs associated with our short-term and long-term debt.

Assumptions (none of which can be assured) which underlie management’s beliefs, include the following:

•

the demand for advertising within the broadcasting industry and economic conditions in general will not deteriorate further in any material respect;

•

we will continue to successfully implement our business strategy; and

•

we will not incur any material unforeseen liabilities, including but not limited to taxes, environmental liabilities, regulatory matters or legal judgments.

We evaluate strategic media acquisitions and/or dispositions and strive to expand our media content through distribution and affiliations in order to achieve a significant presence with clusters of stations in the top U.S. Hispanic markets. We engage in discussions regarding potential acquisitions and/or dispositions and expansion of our content through media outlets from time to time in the ordinary course of business. We anticipate that any future acquisitions would be financed through funds generated from permitted debt financing, equity financing, operations, asset sales or a combination of these or other available sources. However, there can be no assurance that financing from any of these sources, if necessary and available, can be obtained on favorable terms.

Refinancing of Company’s debt

Interest—The Notes accrue interest at a rate of 12.5% per year. Interest on the Notes is paid semi-annually on each April 15 and October 15, commencing on April 15, 2012. After April 15, 2013, interest will accrue at a rate of 12.5% per annum on (i) the original amount of the Notes plus (ii) any Additional Interest (as defined below) payable but unpaid in any prior interest period, payable in cash on each interest payment date. Further, beginning on the interest payment date occurring on April 15, 2013, additional interest will be payable at a rate of 2.00% per annum (the “Additional Interest”) on (i) the original principal amount of the Notes plus (ii) any amount of Additional Interest payable but unpaid in any prior interest period, to be paid in cash, at our election, (x) on the applicable interest payment date or (y) on the earliest of the maturity date of the Notes, any acceleration of the Notes and any redemption of the Notes; provided that no Additional Interest will be payable on any interest payment date if, for the applicable fiscal period, either (a) we record positive consolidated station operating income for our television segment or (b) our secured leverage ratio on a consolidated basis is less than 4.75 to 1.00.

Collateral and Ranking—The Notes and the guarantees are secured on a first-priority basis by a security interest in certain of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future tangible and intangible assets (other than “Excluded Assets” (as defined in the Indenture)). The Notes and the guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the obligations of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. The Notes and guarantees will be senior to all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ existing and future unsecured indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral.

The Indenture permits us, under specified circumstances, to incur additional debt in the future. The amount of such debt is limited by the covenants contained in the Indenture.

The Notes are senior secured obligations of the Company that rank equally with all of our existing and future senior indebtedness and senior to all of our existing and future subordinated indebtedness. Subject to certain exceptions, the Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by each of our existing and future wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries (which excludes (i) our existing and future subsidiaries formed in Puerto Rico (the “Puerto Rican Subsidiaries”), (ii) our future subsidiaries formed under the laws of foreign jurisdictions and (iii) our existing and future subsidiaries, whether domestic or foreign, of the Puerto Rican Subsidiaries or foreign subsidiaries) and our other domestic subsidiaries that guarantee certain of our other debt. The Notes and guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

Covenants and Other Matters—The Indenture governing the Notes contains covenants that, among other things, limit our ability and the ability of the guarantors to:

•

incur or guarantee additional indebtedness;

•

pay dividends and make other restricted payments;

•

incur restrictions on the payment of dividends or other distributions from our restricted subsidiaries;

•

engage in sale-lease back transactions;

•

enter into new lines of business;

•

make certain payments to holders of notes that consent to amendments to the indenture governing the notes without paying such amounts to all holders of notes;

•

create or incur certain liens;

•

make certain investments and acquisitions;

•

transfer or sell assets;

•

engage in transactions with affiliates; and

•

merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of our assets.

Potential impact on the liquidity of our Series B preferred stock

Our liquidity could be significantly affected on October 15, 2013 if the holders of shares of Series B preferred stock request that we repurchase (subject to the legal availability of funds) all or a portion of their Series B preferred stock. We can only make such purchases out of legally available funds. If we repurchase such Series B preferred stock with cash, we would reduce cash available to make other payments. Alternatively, if we fail to discharge our repurchase obligation with respect to the Series B preferred stock upon a valid request, then a voting rights triggering event will occur.

Following the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a “voting rights triggering event,” holders of the Series B preferred stock will be entitled to elect two directors to newly created positions on our board of directors, and we will be subject to more restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on our ability to incur any additional indebtedness and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions, redeem or repurchase securities, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge or consolidate with (or sell substantially all of our assets to) any other person. See Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011for a further discussion of our Series B preferred stock, including the consequences of not paying such dividends.

Summary of Capital Resources

The following summary table presents a comparison of our capital resources for the three-months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, with respect to certain key measures affecting our liquidity. The changes set forth in the table are discussed below. This section should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes.


	Three-Months Ended March 31,						Change
	2012			2011			$
	(In thousands)
Capital expenditures:
Radio	$	192			263			(71	)
Television		165			1,423			(1,258	)
Corporate		7			51			(44	)

Consolidated	$	364			1,737			(1,373	)

Net cash flows provided by operating activities	$	9,890			9,727			163
Net cash flows used in investing activities		(364	)		(1,724	)		1,360
Net cash flows used in financing activities		(53,389	)		(937	)		(52,452	)

Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(43,863	)		7,066

Capital Expenditures

The decrease in our capital expenditures is primarily related to the absence in 2012 of the 2011 build out of our Puerto Rico television studios.

Net Cash Flows Provided by Operating Activities

Changes in our net cash flows from operating activities were primarily a result of the decrease in cash paid to venders, including interest, offset by a decrease in cash collected from trade sales.

Net Cash Flows Used in Investing Activities

Changes in our net cash flows from investing activities were a result of the decrease in our capital expenditures. The decrease in our capital expenditures is primarily related to the absence in 2012 of the 2011 build out of our Puerto Rico television studios.

Net Cash Flows Used in Financing Activities

Changes in our net cash flows from financing activities were a result of the 2012 refinancing. On February 7, 2012, we issued $275 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.5% senior secured notes due 2017 at an issue price of 97% of the principal amount. We used the net proceeds from this offering, together with cash on hand, to repay and terminate the senior credit facility, and to pay the transaction costs related to this offering.

Recent Developments

Regain Compliance with NASDAQ Listing Standards

On September 15, 2011, we received a written deficiency notice (the “Notice”) from The NASDAQ Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) advising us that the market value of our Class A common stock for the previous 30 consecutive business days had been below the minimum $15,000,000 (“Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement”) required for continued listing on the NASDAQ Global Market pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5450(b)(2)(C) (the “Rule”).

Pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5810(c)(3)(D), we were provided with an initial grace period of 180 calendar days, or until March 13, 2012, to regain compliance with the Rule. The Notice further provided that NASDAQ would provide us with written confirmation stating that we had achieved compliance with the Rule if, at any time before March 13, 2012, the market value of our publicly held shares closed at $15,000,000 or more for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days.

On February 13, 2012, we received notification from NASDAQ that we had regained compliance with the Market Value of Publicly Held Shares Requirement for a minimum of 10 consecutive business days as set forth in the Rule. Accordingly, we have regained compliance with the Rule and continue to be listed on the NASDAQ Global Market.

Debt Refinancing

On February 7, 2012 we closed our offering of $275 million in aggregate principal amount of 12.5% senior secured notes due 2017 (the “Notes”) at an issue price of 97% of the principal amount. The Notes were offered solely by means of a private placement either to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act, or to certain persons outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act and are governed by an indenture, dated as of the same date, by and between the Company and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee. We used the net proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, to repay and terminate the previously existing $350,000,000 first lien credit agreement, dated as of June 10, 2005, among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto, Merrill Lynch, Pierce Fenner & Smith, Inc., as syndication agent, Wachovia Bank, National Association, as documentation agent, and Lehman Commercial Paper Inc., as administrative agent, that was due June 10, 2012, and to pay the transaction costs related to the offering.

Dividend Payment on the Series B Preferred Stock

If dividends on our Series B preferred stock are in arrears and unpaid for four consecutive quarters, a “voting rights triggering event” will have occurred. Following the occurrence, and during the continuation, of a voting rights triggering event, holders of the Series B preferred stock will be entitled to elect two directors to newly created positions on our board of directors, and we will be subject to more restrictive covenants, including a prohibition on our ability to incur any additional indebtedness and restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions, redeem or repurchase securities, make investments, enter into transactions with affiliates or merge or consolidate with (or sell substantially all of our assets to) any other person. See Item 1A. Risk Factors for a further discussion of our Series B preferred stock, including the consequences of not paying such dividends.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements that have, or are reasonably likely to have, a current or future material effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenue or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.

Item 4.

Controls and Procedures

Evaluation Of Disclosure Controls And Procedures. Our management, including our principal executive and financial officers, have conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined under Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, to ensure that information we are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in such reports is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive and financial officers concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Changes In Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
