Minimum payments on noncancelable leases at December 31, 2016 were: $5.1 million in 2017, $5.4 million in 2018, $4.6 million in 2019, $3.6 million in 2020, $2.5 million in 2021 and $6.6 million in later years. We expect our operating leases will be replaced with leases for similar facilities upon their expiration. Rental expense for cancelable and noncancelable leases was $12.2 million in 2016, $9.7 million in 2015 and $8.2 million in 2014.

We are involved in litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, such as defamation actions, and governmental proceedings primarily relating to renewal of broadcast licenses, none of which is expected to result in material loss.
