The more significant estimates made by management include, but are not limited to, those relating to allowance for credit losses, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, distribution revenue recognized, deferred income tax asset valuation allowances, fair value of stock-based compensation, the recoverability of goodwill, FCC licenses and long-lived assets, pension and postretirement obligations, the recoverability of investments, the recoverability of broadcast rights and the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets. As of December 31, 2022, the Company is not aware of any specific event or circumstance that would require an update to its estimates or judgments or revision of the carrying value of its assets or liabilities. However, these estimates and judgments may change as new events occur and additional information is obtained, which may result in changes being recognized in the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods. Such judgments and assumptions could result in a meaningful impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates and any such differences may have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.</span></p> | |

Cash deposits are maintained with several financial institutions. Deposits held with banks may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits; however, the Company believes these deposits are maintained with financial institutions of reputable credit and are not subject to any unusual credit risk. A significant portion of the Company’s accounts receivable is due from local and national advertising agencies. The Company does not require collateral from its customers but maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Management believes that the allowance for credit losses is adequate, but if the financial condition of the Company’s customers were to deteriorate, additional allowances may be required. The Company has not experienced significant losses related to receivables from individual customers or by geographical area.</span></p> | |
