Amortization expense for the

three

-months ended

March 31, 2018

and

2017

was

$5.4

million and

$5.6

million, respectively. Based on the current amount of intangible assets subject to amortization, we expect that amortization expense for the remainder of

2018

will be approximately

$9.7

million, and, for the succeeding

five

years, amortization expense will be approximately as follows:

2019,

$15.4

million;

2020,

$12.4

million;

2021,

$8.3

million;

2022,

$4.8

million; and

2023,

$2.9

million. If and when acquisitions and dispositions occur in the future, actual amounts

may

vary from these estimates.

Our intangible assets are primarily comprised of broadcast licenses. There were

triggering events that required a test of our goodwill or intangible assets for impairment during the

three
