Key Points

Positve

Digital revenue grew 8.1% on a same-station basis and now accounts for 25% of total revenue, a key milestone.
Digital segment operating margin improved 900 basis points quarter-over-quarter to 26.8%, driven by a shift to higher-margin owned-and-operated inventory.
Local direct revenue increased 1.7% year-over-year and now represents the majority of local sales mix, showing resilience outside agency channels.
Cost discipline remains strong, with $30 million in annualized expense reductions implemented over the past 12 months, helping preserve margins.
Strategic actions to strengthen the balance sheet include asset sales totaling $26 million and $1.5 million in debt repurchases, with proceeds earmarked for deleveraging.

Total net revenue declined 11.1% year-over-year on a same-station basis, reflecting significant sales execution challenges.

Traditional over-the-air CPMs are trending down due to double-digit declines in agency business, intensifying competitive pricing pressures.
