Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENT DATA
SEGMENT DATA:
 
We measure segment performance based on operating income (loss).  Our broadcast segment includes stations in 89 markets located throughout the continental United States. Other primarily consists of original networks and content, non-broadcast digital and internet solutions, technical services, and other non-media investments. All of our businesses are located within the United States.  Corporate costs primarily include our costs to operate as a public company and to operate our corporate headquarters location.  Other and Corporate are not reportable segments but are included for reconciliation purposes. 

We had approximately $144.0 million and $165.8 million of intercompany loans between the broadcast segment, other, and corporate as of March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.  We had $3.8 million and $6.0 million in intercompany interest expense related to intercompany loans between the broadcast segment, other, and corporate for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
