1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Organization
MediaCo Holding Inc., and its subsidiaries (collectively, “MediaCo” or the “Company”) is an owned and operated multi-media company formed in Indiana in 2019, focused on television, radio and digital advertising, premium programming and events.
Our portfolio includes a national network, as well as digital, and commercial operations. Our broadcasting assets consist of thirteen radio stations, including two located in New York City, WQHT(FM) and WBLS(FM) (the “Stations”), which serve the New York City demographic market area and primarily target Black, Hispanic, and multi-cultural consumers. The remaining eleven radio stations serve Los Angeles, CA, Houston, TX, and Dallas, TX. Our assets also include nine television stations serving Los Angeles, CA, Houston, TX, Denver, CO, New York, NY, Chicago, IL and Miami, FL. Our portfolio includes the Estrella brands including the EstrellaTV network, its linear and digital video content business, and its digital channels, including eight free ad-supported television (“FAST”) channels: EstrellaTV, Estrella News, Cine EstrellaTV, Estrella Games, EstrellaTV Mexico, Curiosity Explora, Curiosity Motores, and Curiosity Animales. We derive our revenues primarily from radio, television and digital advertising sales, and also generate revenues from events, including sponsorships and ticket sales, licensing, and syndication.
Unless the context otherwise requires, references to “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to MediaCo and its subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, they do not include all disclosures required for annual financial statements.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, have been included. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete annual financial statements.
The significant accounting policies applied in preparing these condensed consolidated financial statements are consistent with those described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 (“fiscal year 2025”), filed with the SEC on March 31, 2026, except as otherwise disclosed herein. There have been no significant changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2026.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Restricted cash of $ 2.0 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025 was held as collateral for a letter of credit entered into in connection with the lease in New York City for our radio operations and corporate offices, which expires in October 2039. The Company may be eligible to reduce the required security deposit in future periods upon satisfaction of certain conditions under the lease.
Allowance for Credit Losses
The activity in the allowance for credit losses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was as follows:

Beginning Balance $ 1,222 $ 872 $ 1,671 $ 1,079

Write Offs ( 414 ) — ( 449 ) —
Ending Balance $ 892 $ 2,392 $ 892 $ 2,392
Fair Value Measurements
The Company’s fair value hierarchy classification of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis has not changed during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt approximates fair value due to its variable interest rate structure. The Company did not have any material transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 of the fair value hierarchy during the period.
Goodwill and Indefinite-lived Intangibles
The Company evaluates goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets for impairment annually, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate potential impairment. No impairment charges were recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025.
Stock-based Compensation Costs
Stock-based compensation expense totaled $ 1.0 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026, compared with $ 0.0 million and $ 0.0 million, respectively, for the corresponding periods in 2025. The increase in stock-based compensation expense was primarily attributable to immediately vesting equity awards granted during the current year, resulting in increased compensation expense recognized over the requisite service periods. The methods and assumptions used in the determination of the fair value of stock-based awards are consistent with those described in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal 2025.
Production Costs
Amortization expense included in operating expenses was $ 0.9 million and $ 1.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $ 0.6 million for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Advertising Costs
Advertising costs are expensed when incurred. Advertising expenses were $ 0.1 million and $ 0.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and $ 0.1 million and $ 0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025.
Deferred Revenue and Barter Transactions
Deferred revenue includes makegood liabilities associated with network sales contracts and deferred barter transactions. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the makegood liability balance was $ 5.1 million and $ 7.7 million, respectively. The makegood liability is expected to be recognized over various periods not anticipated to exceed four years .
The makegood liability account activity and the barter revenue and barter expense transactions for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, are as follows:

Variable Interest Entities
Prior to May 1, 2025, the Company consolidated certain entities as a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Following shareholder approval on March 6, 2025, of the issuance of Class A common stock in connection with the exercise of a warrant and a Put Right, the Put Right was exercised on May 1, 2025, pursuant to which the Company acquired 100 % of the equity interests of Estrella and certain subsidiaries in exchange for 7,051,538 shares of Class A common stock. As a result, Estrella became a wholly owned subsidiary and is no longer considered a VIE. Accordingly, the Company did not consolidate any VIEs subsequent to May 1, 2025.
Estimates
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The Company has considered information available to it as of the date of issuance of these financial statements and is not aware of any specific events or circumstances that would require an update to its estimates or judgments, or a revision to the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. These estimates may change as new events occur and additional information becomes available. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates.
Going Concern
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP applicable to a going concern, which contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company has near-term debt maturities, a working capital deficit, and liquidity constraints and the potential for future violations of financial covenants under its credit agreements. Management evaluated these conditions in accordance with applicable accounting guidance and determined that, absent the successful execution of its plans, substantial doubt exists about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date the financial statements are issued. The Company’s failure to satisfy the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 was waived by the applicable lender; however, the waiver applies only to the covenant period ended June 30, 2026 and does not extend to subsequent covenant periods. Accordingly, the Company may be required to obtain additional waivers or amendments to its credit agreements if it fails to satisfy applicable financial covenants in future periods.
Management has concluded that our ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on our ability to execute our business plan and/or implement other strategic options. Management is prepared to implement additional cost cutting measures, as necessary, intends to seek refinancing and to raise additional capital to meet its debt service and working capital obligations, if needed. However, while the Company has been successful in obtaining additional liquidity in the past, no assurances can be made that the Company will receive such liquidity in the future, or that the other actions described above will alleviate substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.
The condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded asset amounts or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Implemented
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025‑05, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. The amendment provides a practical expedient for estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from revenue transactions. Under the expedient, an entity may assume that current conditions at the balance‑sheet date remain constant over the remaining life of these assets, simplifying the application of the current expected credit loss model. ASU 2025‑05 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and is to be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2025-05 effective January 1, 2026. There was no material impact to the Company’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as a result of adopting ASU 2025-05.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements Not Yet Implemented
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Accounting Standards Update 2024-03, Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income-Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses to improve financial reporting by requiring that public business entities disclose additional information about specific expense categories in the notes to financial statements at interim and annual reporting periods. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. An entity may apply the amendments prospectively for reporting periods after the effective date or retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently evaluating this guidance and its impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements and financial statement disclosures.

2. REVISION OF PREVIOUSLY ISSUED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Revision of Q2 2025 Financial Statements
As discussed in the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2025, during the third quarter of 2025, the Company determined that its Warrant Shares, originally issued in 2024 and valued at $ 32.2 million as of June 30, 2025, should have been presented as a liability rather than as permanent equity. Due to the liability classification, there was also a $ 1.4 million mark to market adjustment that should have been recorded in Change in fair value of warrant shares liability in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2025. As a result, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated statement of changes in equity for the three-months ended June 30, 2025, have been revised to reflect this liability presentation of the Warrant Shares.
In accordance with SAB No. 99, Topic 1.M, Materiality, SAB No. 99, Topic 1.N, Considering the Effects of Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in the Current Year Financial Statements, and ASC 250, Accounting Changes and Error Corrections , the Company assessed the materiality of this misstatement to its previously issued consolidated financial statements. Based upon the Company’s evaluation of both quantitative and qualitative factors, the Company concluded this misstatement was immaterial to the Company’s previously issued condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the periods ended June 30, 2025.
The following table details the impact of the misstatements and provides revisions to the impacted financial statement line items in the previously-issued condensed consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands, except per share data):

3. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed using the two-class method, which allocates earnings to each class of common stock and participating securities based on their respective rights to receive dividends and undistributed earnings. Certain warrants to purchase Class A common stock are considered participating securities because they have the right to participate in distributions with common shareholders on an as-exercised basis. During periods of net loss, participating securities are not allocated losses as they are not contractually obligated to share in such losses. The Company has elected to allocate earnings based on loss from operations. For periods in which the Company reports a net loss, all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive. Accordingly, basic and diluted weighted-average shares outstanding are the same for the periods presented.
The following table presents a reconciliation of basic and diluted net loss per share attributable to Class A and Class B common shareholders:

Sublicense Agreement
On July 3, 2025, the Company entered into a three-year sublicense agreement with a programming syndicate to obtain non-exclusive Spanish-language broadcast and distribution rights to certain live sporting events. The sublicense covers the 2025-26, 2026-27, and 2027-28 seasons within the United States and Canada. Under the agreement, the syndicate provides the live clean feeds of these sporting events and related highlights, and the Company is permitted to air and monetize such programming across its linear and digital platforms.
The Company is obligated to pay fixed license fees totaling $ 7.2 million over the term of the contract, payable in monthly installments during each season. Additional consideration is due for playoff events and for per-event production services. The Company also agreed to provide the syndicate $ 1.0 million per season of promotional airtime, measured at fair value, in lieu of cash consideration. The sublicense expires following completion of the 2027-28 season and is non-renewable except by mutual agreement. There were no promotional airtime expenses, license fees expensed were $ 0.2 million and $ 0.9 million, respectively, and production costs expensed were immaterial and $ 0.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026.
7. REVENUE
The Company generates revenue from the sale of services including, but not limited to: (i) on-air commercial broadcast time, (ii) non-traditional revenues including event-related revenues and event sponsorship revenues, and (iii) digital advertising. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue. Certain network sales contracts include a guaranteed number of units. If the guarantee is not met, the Company is obligated to provide additional units at no charge until the guaranteed number of units is met, referred to as a makegood liability. The liability for each contract is calculated by determining the cost per guarantee per the original contract, multiplied by the number of deficiency units. As of June 30, 2026, the makegood liability which is associated with these network sales and contracts was $ 5.1 million and is expected to be recognized at various times, but not anticipated to exceed four years and is included in Deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated financial statements. We do not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less. Advertising revenues presented in the condensed consolidated financial statements are reflected on a net basis, after the deduction of advertising agency fees, usually at a rate of 15 % of gr oss revenues.

Table of Contents
Spot Radio & TV Advertising
On-air broadcast revenue is recognized when or as performance obligations under the terms of a contract with a customer are satisfied. This typically occurs over the period of time that advertisements are provided, or as an event occurs. Revenues are reported at the amount the Company expects to be entitled to receive under the contract. Payments received from advertisers before the performance obligation is satisfied are recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Digital
Digital revenue relates to revenue generated from the sale of digital marketing services (including display advertisements and video pre-roll and sponsorships) to advertisers on Company-owned websites and from revenue generated from content distributed across other digital platforms. Digital revenues are generally recognized as the digital advertising is delivered.
Syndication
Syndication revenue relates to revenue generated from the sale of rights to broadcast shows we produce as well as revenues from syndicated shows we broadcast for a fee. Syndication revenues are generally recognized ratably over the term of the contract.
Events and Sponsorships
Events and Sponsorships revenues principally consist of ticket sales and sponsorship of events our stations conduct in their local market. These revenues are recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled, which generally coincides with the occurrence of the related event.
Other
Other revenue includes barter revenue, network revenue, talent fee revenue and other revenue. The Company provides advertising broadcast time in exchange for certain products and services, including on-air radio programming. These barter arrangements generally allow the Company to preempt such bartered broadcast time in favor of advertisers who purchase time for cash consideration. These barter arrangements are valued based upon the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the products and services received. Revenue is recognized on barter arrangements when we broadcast the advertisements. Advertisements delivered under barter arrangements are typically aired during the same period in which the products and services are consumed. The Company also sells certain remnant advertising inventory to third-parties for cash, and we refer to this as network revenue. The third-parties aggregate our remnant inventory with other broadcasters’ remnant inventory for sale to third parties, generally to large national advertisers. This network revenue is recognized as we broadcast the advertisements. Talent fee revenue are fees earned for appearances by our talent, which is recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled, which generally coincides with the occurrence of the related appearance. Other revenue is comprised of brand integrations, custom on-air shows, or other amounts earned that do not fit in any other category and are recognized when our performance obligations are fulfilled.

-15-
Table of Contents
The term loans under the First Lien Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate of SOFR + 6.00 %.and require monthly interest payments. The First Lien Credit Agreement consists of an $ 35.0 million initial term loan (the “Initial Term Loan”) and delayed draw term loans in an aggregate amount up to $ 10.0 million (the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”). The first of such Delayed Draw Term Loans of $ 5.0 million was made on May 2, 2024 and the second of such Delayed Draw Term Loans of $ 5.0 million was made on July 17, 2024. The Initial Term Loan matures on April 17, 2029. During the first quarter of 2026, the Company obtained an amendment that extended the maturity of its First Lien Credit Agreement debt previously due in May 2026 to July 30, 2026 and waived certain covenant requirements. In August 2026, the Company entered into a second amendment to the First Lien Credit Agreement that further extended the maturity dates of both Delayed Draw Term Loans from July 30, 2026 to October 31, 2026.
As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants, with the exception of the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant. On August 14, 2026, the Company received a waiver from the applicable lender with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The waiver applies only to the covenant period ended June 30, 2026 and does not extend to any subsequent covenant periods. Accordingly, the Company has classified $ 34.1 million of outstanding long-term debt as current as of June 30, 2026. The Company has also reclassified $ 1.8 million of unamortized original issue discount and deferred financing costs associated with such debt to current liabilities, as applicable.
Second Lien Term Loan
The Company has a $ 30.0 million second lien term loan credit facility (the “Second Lien Credit Agreement” or the “2L Term Loan”) with HPS Investment Partners, LLC (“HPS”), as administrative and collateral agent, and various financial institutions from time-to-time party thereto. The Second Lien Credit Agreement was initially recorded at a discount and is accreted to its redemption value over its term, with such accretion recognized in Interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The 2L Term Loan will mature on April 17, 2029 and is subject to monthly interest payments at a rate of SOFR + 6.00 %, of which the 6.00 % may be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) at the Company’s election. In 2024, the Company elected to PIK the 6.00 % spread monthly.
During the first quarter of 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to its Second Lien Credit Agreement that waived certain covenant requirements. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial covenants, with the exception of the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant. On August 14, 2026, the Company received a waiver from the applicable lender with respect to the Company’s failure to satisfy the Audio Adjusted EBITDA covenant for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The waiver applies only to the covenant period ended June 30, 2026 and does not extend to any subsequent covenant periods. Accordingly, the Company has classified $ 31.0 million of outstanding long-term debt as current as of June 30, 2026.
Series B Preferred Stock
The Company has 60,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock with an aggregate initial liquidation value of $ 60.0 million. The Series B Preferred Stock was initially recorded at a discount and is accreted to its redemption value over its term, with such accretion recognized in Interest expense, net in the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The Series B Preferred Stock was issued in April 2024 and accrues dividends at an annual rate of 6.00 % of its liquidation value, payable in kind, and is mandatorily redeemable after seven years from issuance in April 2031. The Series B Preferred Stock is not convertible into other equity securities and is classified as a long-term liability.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments
The Company is subject to certain contingent liabilities arising in the normal course of business. These include guarantees, indemnifications, and other arrangements that could require the Company to make payments to third parties under certain circumstances.
As of June 30, 2026, management has evaluated all known contingent matters and believes that any potential losses that may arise from such arrangements are not probable or are not reasonably estimable. Accordingly, no liability has been recorded in the accompanying financial statements.
Legal Matters
From time to time, our stations are parties to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management of the Company, however, there are no legal proceedings pending against the Company that we believe are likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
10. INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was ( 7 )% and ( 4 )%, respectively. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2026 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the recording of additional interest and penalties on an uncertain tax position as well as the continued recognition of additional valuation allowance.
ASC Subtopic 740-10 clarified the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing a recognition threshold and measurement attribute of the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken within a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more-likely-than-not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest benefit that reaches greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we recorded approximately $ 7.7 million of gross tax liability for uncertain tax positions related to federal and state income tax returns filed. Additionally, we recognize accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as components of our income tax provision. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the amount of interest accrued was approximately $ 0.5 million and $ 0.2 million, respectively, and the amount of penalties accrued was approximately $ 0.7 million and $ 0.5 million, respectively, which did not include the federal tax benefit of interest deductions.
11. LEASES
We have operating leases for office space and tower space expiring at various dates through December 2047 and finance leases for broadcast tower space expiring in March 2029. Some leases have options to extend and some have options to terminate. Operating leases are included in lease right-of-use assets, current operating lease liabilities, and noncurrent operating lease liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. Finance leases are included in deposits and other, other current liabilities, and other noncurrent liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheet.
We elected not to apply the recognition requirements of ASC 842, Leases, to short-term leases, which are deemed to be leases with a lease term of 12 months or less. Instead, we recognized lease payments in the condensed consolidated statements of operations on a straight-line basis over the lease term and variable payments in the period in which the obligation for these payments was incurred. We elected this policy for all classes of underlying assets. Short-term lease expense recognized during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 was not material.
-17-
Table of Contents
On February 27, 2026, the Company entered into an amendment to an existing lease agreement. The amendment resulted in a remeasurement of the related lease liability and right-of-use (“ROU”) asset. As a result of the remeasurement, both the lease liability and the ROU asset decreased; however, the reduction in the lease liability exceeded the decrease in the ROU asset.
As a result of the lease modification and remeasurement, the Company recorded a $ 7.0 million, reduction in lease liabilities during the first quarter of 2026, consisting of a $ 1.0 million reduction in current lease liabilities and a $ 6.0 million reduction in non-current lease liabilities, as well as a reduction of the ROU asset of $ 5.4 million. As a result, the Company recognized a remeasurement gain of $ 1.6 million, representing the excess of the reduction in the lease liability over the reduction in the ROU asset. This gain is included in other income in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Estrella Put Right and Equity Clawback
In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Estrella, the Company entered into agreements with HPS, that contain equity clawback provisions. Under these provisions, the Company may require the return or forfeiture of equity interests under specified circumstances.
-18-
Table of Contents
The potential exercise of these clawback provisions could result in the reduction or cancellation of equity interests held by such related party investors and the repayment or forfeiture of related debt obligations. The magnitude and timing of any such clawback would depend on the occurrence and amount of qualifying losses or obligations as defined in the applicable agreements and could be material to the Company’s consolidated financial statements. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of the increase in the uncertain tax position and corresponding interest and penalties, the Company increased equity by an additional $ 0.4 million and reduced equity by $ 0.7 million, respectively, pursuant to the equity clawback feature. At June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, $ 8.6 million and $ 7.9 million, respectively, of equity interests were subject to clawback, while no debt instruments have been subject to clawback.
Second Lien Term Loan
The Company entered into a $ 30.0 million Second Lien Credit Agreement with HPS, as administrative and collateral agent, and certain financial institutions affiliated with HPS. HPS is a significant shareholder of the Company and, as such, the Second Lien Credit Agreement constitutes a related-party transaction.
The 2L Term Loan bears interest at a rate of SOFR + 6.00 %, which may be paid-in-kind (“PIK”) at the Company’s election. During 2024, the Company elected to PIK the 6.00 % spread monthly. Interest expense recognized on the 2L Term Loan, including both cash and PIK interest, totaled approximately $ 0.8 million for both the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and $ 1.6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025. The outstanding balance owed to HPS as of June 30, 2026, was $ 31.8 million, inclusive of PIK interest accreted to principal.
Additional details regarding the Second Lien Credit Agreement are provided in Note 8 — Long-Term Debt, Warrants, and Series B Preferred Stock
Consulting Agreements & Other Activity
On October 29, 2024, the Company and Standard Media Group LLC (“SMG”) a wholly owned subsidiary of Standard General, entered into an Employee Leasing Agreement, effective as of October 1, 2024 (the “Leasing Agreement”).

13. SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company and the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) assesses performance and allocates resources in accordance with FASB ASC 280, Segment Reporting. The Company’s CODM is the Chief Executive Officer. The CODM primarily uses operating income (loss) to evaluate the financial performance of each segment, assess operating efficiency and profitability, and compare across segments. This measure is also used by the CODM to make decisions regarding the allocation of resources, including capital expenditures, programming and content investments, marketing initiatives, and headcount. We currently manage our operations through two business segments: (i) Audio, and (ii) Video.
The Company’s Audio Segment includes both MediaCo’s and Estrella’s radio stations serving the New York City, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Houston, TX, and Dallas, TX demographic market areas that primarily target Black, Hispanic, and multi-cultural consumers. The Audio Segment derives revenues primarily from radio and digital advertising sales, but also generates revenues from events, including sponsorships and ticket sales, licensing, and syndication.
The Company’s Video Segment includes Estrella’s television stations offering a unique aggregation of Spanish-language programming, including originals, topical entertainment, reality, news, and comedy. The Video Segment’s revenue is primarily

These business segments are consistent with the Company’s management of these businesses and its financial reporting structure. Corporate expenses, including transaction costs, are not allocated to reportable segments. The Company’s segments operate exclusively in the United States.
The accounting policies as described in the Summary of Significant Accounting Policies included in Note 1 to these condensed consolidated financial statements are applied consistently across segments.
