The more significant estimates made by management include those relating to the allowance for doubtful accounts, valuation of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations, retransmission revenue recognized, trade and barter transactions, income taxes, the recoverability of goodwill, FCC licenses and other long-lived assets, the recoverability of broadcast rights and the useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets.

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&#8217;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 doubtful accounts is adequate, but if the financial condition of the Company&#8217;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. </p></div>
