Discussion and Results
Raul Alarcón, Jr., Chairman and CEO, commented, We saw some improvement in the business
environment across select markets during the first quarter. We have continued to focus on
supporting our strong brands and market leadership through strategic investments in our content and
distribution, while managing our costs. Looking ahead, our target audience continues to expand
rapidly and our multi-media portfolio remains well positioned to attract advertisers in the
nations largest Hispanic markets.

Quarter Results
For the quarter ended March 31, 2011, consolidated net revenue totaled $30.8 million for the
current and same prior year period, respectively. Our television segment net revenue increased $0.6
million or 15%, primarily due to an increase in national spot sales and paid programming sales,
offset by a decrease in local spot sales. Our radio segment net revenue decreased $0.6 million or
2%, primarily due to local sales, offset by an increase in network sales. The decrease in local
sales occurred in our New York and Miami markets. The increase in network sales occurred in all of
our markets.
Operating income before depreciation and amortization and (gain) loss on the disposal of assets,
net, a non-GAAP measure, totaled $5.5 million compared to $6.0 million for the same prior year
period, representing a decrease of $0.5 million or 8%. This decrease was primarily attributed to
the increase in operating expenses, offset by a decrease in corporate expenses. Please refer to
the Non-GAAP Financial Measures and Unaudited Segment Data sections for definitions and a
reconciliation of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures.
Operating income totaled $4.1 million compared to $4.4 million for the same prior year period.
This decrease was primarily attributed to the increase in operating expenses, offset by the
decreases in corporate expenses and depreciation and amortization.

$ | 5,459 | 5,962 | (8 | %) | |||||||
Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and (Gain) Loss on the Disposal of Assets,
net, are not measures of performance or liquidity determined in accordance with GAAP in the United
States. However, we believe that these measures are useful in evaluating our performance because
they reflect a measure of performance for our stations before considering costs and expenses
related to our capital structure and dispositions. These measures are widely used in the broadcast
industry to evaluate a companys operating performance and are used by us for internal budgeting
purposes and to evaluate the performance of our stations, segments, management and consolidated
operations. However, these measures should not be considered in isolation or as substitutes for
Operating Income, Net Income (Loss), Cash Flows from Operating Activities or any other measure used
in determining our operating performance or liquidity that is calculated in accordance with GAAP.
In addition, because Operating Income before Depreciation and Amortization and (Gain) Loss on the
Disposal of Assets, net, is not calculated in accordance with GAAP, it is not necessarily
comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies.
