We have made some changes in certain radio markets designed to improve long term performance: in HOUSTON we are launching NEWS 92 FM; in COLUMBUS, we switched from gospel to the JACK format; in DETROIT we signed a local marketing agreement for 107.5 WGPR; and in PHILADELPHIA, we moved our Adult Urban format to our hip-hop signal, and vice versa. I am confident that these strategic changes will reap rewards in the long-term."
