Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Use of Estimates	Use of Estimates The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant items subject to such estimates and assumptions include the allowance for doubtful accounts, the realization of deferred tax assets, the useful lives and future cash flows used for testing the recoverability of property and equipment, the recoverability of FCC broadcasting licenses, and goodwill, the recoverability of right-of-use assets, the fair value of Level 2 and Level 3 financial instruments which include the Series B preferred stock, production tax credits, the assessment as to whether it is reasonably certain that we will exercise our options to extend lease terms when available, the present value of lease payments used to calculate our lease liabilities and related right-of-use assets which includes the use of estimated incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”), contingencies and litigation. These estimates and assumptions are based on management’s best judgments. Management evaluates its estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis using historical experience and other factors, including the current economic environment, which management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Management adjusts such estimates and assumptions as facts and circumstances dictate. We assessed these aforementioned estimates and judgments utilizing information reasonably available to us and considering the unknown future impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the declining performance for total market revenues in our radio and television markets, we performed an interim impairment test as of March 31, 2020 of our goodwill and FCC broadcasting radio and television FCC broadcasting licenses. As a result of the interim impairment test, we determined that there was no impairment to goodwill, however, there was an impairment to our radio FCC broadcasting licenses, primarily due to the discount rate increase and lower industry advertising revenue growth projections in the subject markets. We recorded a non-cash impairment loss of approximately $14.1 million that reduced the carrying value of such FCC broadcasting licenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create significant uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. It is reasonably possible that these uncertainties could materially impact our estimates related to, but not limited to, revenue recognition, broadcast licenses, goodwill and income taxes. As a result, many of our estimates and assumptions require increased judgment and carry a higher degree of variability and volatility. Our estimates may change as new events occur and additional information emerges, and such changes are recognized or disclosed in our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2019-02 helps organizations align their accounting for production costs for films and episodic content produced for television and streaming services. The standard addresses when an organization should assess films and license agreements for program material for impairment at the film-group level, revises presentation requirements; requires new disclosures about content that is either produced or licensed; and, addresses cash flow classification for license agreements. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. We have adopted the new standard effective January 1, 2020 with no material impact on our financial statements.

The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in any interim period. The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license).

The update is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. The amendments on changes in unrealized gains and losses, the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements, and the narrative description of measurement uncertainty should be applied prospectively for only the most recent interim or annual period presented in the initial fiscal year of adoption. All other amendments should be applied retrospectively to all periods presented upon their effective date. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance eliminates the requirement to disclose the valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurements. The methodology used to arrive at the fair value of the Series B preferred stock results in a Level 3 classification.

The update is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

Early adoption is permitted as of the fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company has not currently adopted this ASU. Based on our preliminary assessment, the Company does not expect the adoption of this update to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
