What this company does

As of December 31, 2025, it owned and/or operated 76 independently formatted, revenue producing broadcast stations, located in 13 of the most populous African-American markets in the United States. As of December 31, 2025, the company employed 864 full-time employees and 408 part-time employees. It organizes its operations into four reportable segments: Radio Broadcasting, Reach Media, Digital, and Cable Television. Its Radio Broadcasting segment generates more than 90% of its net revenue from the sale of local, national and network advertising, which also includes low power television revenue. Its Cable Television segment includes TV One, the company's primary cable television franchise targeting African-American and urban communities, which derives its revenue from advertising and affiliate revenue. Its Reach Media segment, the company's syndicated radio unit, derives its revenue primarily from the sale of advertising in connection with syndicated radio shows, including the Rickey Smiley Morning Show, the Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell Show and the DL Hughley Show. Its Digital segment, operated through Interactive One, derives revenue from advertising services on non-radio station branded websites and from studio services that Interactive One provides to other publishers.

The 17-year record
17 fiscal years
Every figure from documents filed with the SEC · USD

EPS, diluted, dividend per share and shares outstanding are shown without shading, and a vertical line marks the year the share count changed — the series crosses a large, unexplained change in share count, so the years on either side are not on a comparable scale.
