16. Other Income

    During the third and fourth quarters of 2024, we had weather-related damages.  The Company’s insurance policy provides coverage for repairs and replacements.  As a part of the insurance settlement during the third quarter of 2024, the Company received cash proceeds of $383,000, resulting in a gain of $383,000, which is recorded in other (income) expense, net, in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Income.  

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company received $1,133,000 related to the sale of an investment in Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”) and recorded a gain of $1,133,000.  The gain on sale of investment is recorded in other (income) expense, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.  

In 2012, Congress mandated that the FCC conduct an incentive auction of broadcast television spectrum as set forth in the Middle Class Tax Relief and Job Creation Act of 2012 ("Spectrum Act"). The Spectrum Act authorized the FCC to conduct incentive auctions in which licensees could voluntarily relinquish their spectrum usage rights in order to permit the assignment by auction of new initial licenses subject to flexible use service rules, in exchange for a portion of the resulting auction proceeds. The Spectrum Act appropriated $1.75 billion to the TV Broadcaster Relocation Fund ("Reimbursement Fund") for costs reasonably incurred by Full Power and Class A broadcast television licensees reassigned to new channels ("repack"), as well as Multichannel Video Programming Distributors ("MVPDs") that incurred costs related to continuing to carry the signals of reassigned broadcast stations. The 2018 Reimbursement Expansion Act appropriated $1 billion in additional funds for the Reimbursement Fund and expanded eligible entities for reimbursement to include FM stations affected by the repack. During the first quarter of 2023, we received approximately $115,000 in reimbursement for our FM stations.  This reimbursement was recorded in other (income) expense, net in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Operations.  We do not anticipate receiving any additional reimbursements related to this.
