For Immediate Release Thursday, January 10, 2019 Contact: Ryan Hornaday, EVP/CFO & Treasurer [email protected] 317.266.0100 Emmis Announces Third Quarter Earnings Outperforms markets both quarter and year-to-date Indianapolis...Emmis Communications Corporation (NASDAQ: EMMS) today announced results for its third fiscal quarter ending November 30, 2018. Emmis’ radio net revenues for the third fiscal quarter were $28.7 million, down from $34.0 million in the prior year. Sales of radio stations (KPWR in LA in August 2017 and four radio stations in St. Louis on April 30, 2018) make Emmis’ reported results not comparable year-over-year. Pro forma for all radio station sales, Emmis’ third quarter radio revenues, as reported to Miller Kaplan, which excludes barter and certain other revenues, were up 5% in markets that were up 2%. “With this quarter’s strong performance, Emmis is now outperforming its markets through the first nine months of this fiscal year– quite an achievement,” said Emmis Chairman and CEO Jeff Smulyan. “Political revenues certainly helped, but we also saw growth in our core advertising categories, all of which contributed to Emmis having its strongest quarter in four years. New York and Indianapolis both outperformed their markets and continue to produce strong ratings, which should help sustain Emmis’ revenue growth. That certainly appears to be the case in January and February, where both months are pacing up mid-to-high single digits.” A conference call regarding earnings will be hosted today at 9 a.m. Eastern today by dialing 1-517-623-4891 with passcode Emmis.

Federal Communications Commission IX. NOTICE of PROPOSED
Federal Communications Commission FCC 03-127 IX. NOTICE OF PROPOSED RULEMAKING 657. In the Local Radio Section of this Order, we replaced our current contour-overlap methodology for defining radio markets with a geography-based market definition. For areas of the country covered by Arbitron Metro markets, we adopted the Metro market as the relevant radio market for purposes of determining compliance with the local radio ownership rule. A significant portion of the country, however, is not covered by Metro markets. We initiate this rulemaking proceeding to define radio markets for those areas. 658. We seek comment on how to draw specific market boundaries in areas of the country not located in Arbitron Metros. What factors should we consider in grouping radio stations into markets? We propose that radio markets be county-based, as Arbitron Metros are. We seek comment on that proposal. In the western United States, counties are significantly larger. We seek comment on whether we should, like Arbitron, divide counties into separate radio markets in certain circumstances. We also propose that radio stations be assigned to radio markets based on the location of their communities of license We seek comment on this proposal. 659. We seek comment on whether we should rely on any pre-existing market definitions in delineating radio markets for non-Metro areas. As indicated in the Local Radio Section, Arbitron traditionally has based its Metro definitions on the Metropolitan Area (MA) definitions developed by OMB. Should we also do the same for non-Metro areas? OMB recently released new MA definitions based on the results of the 2000 Census.1372The 935 new MAS, moreover, cover a greater portion of the country.
