Included in operating expenses are $0.2       million and $0.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for the       three-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively and       $1.1 million and $1.2 million of non-cash stock-based compensation for       the twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006,       respectively.  Operating expenses do not include corporate expenses,       depreciation and amortization, impairment loss and (gain) loss on sale       of assets.    (2) Corporate expenses include $0.5 million and $0.4 million of non-cash       stock-based compensation for the three-month periods ended December       31, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $1.9 million and $1.6 million of       non-cash stock-based compensation for the twelve-month periods ended       December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively.    (3) Consolidated adjusted EBITDA means net income (loss) plus (gain) loss       on sale of assets, depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment       loss, non-cash stock-based compensation included in operating and       corporate expenses, non-cash corporate expense, net interest expense,       income tax expense (benefit), equity in net income (loss) of       nonconsolidated affiliate and syndication programming amortization       less syndication programming payments. We use the term consolidated       adjusted EBITDA because that measure is defined in our syndicated bank       credit facility and does not include non-cash stock-based       compensation, non-cash corporate expense, non-cash impairment loss,       (gain) loss on sale of assets, net interest expense, income tax       expense (benefit), equity in net income (loss) of nonconsolidated       affiliate and syndication programming amortization and does include       syndication programming payments. While many in the financial       community and we consider consolidated adjusted EBITDA to be       important, it should be considered in addition to, but not as a       substitute for or superior to, other measures of liquidity and       financial performance prepared in accordance with accounting       principles generally accepted in the United States of America, such as       cash flows from operating activities, operating income and net income.       As consolidated adjusted EBITDA excludes non-cash (gain) loss of sales       of assets, non-cash depreciation and amortization, non-cash impairment       loss, non-cash stock-based compensation awards, non-cash corporate       expense, net interest expense, income tax expense (benefit), equity in       net income (loss) of nonconsolidated affiliate and syndication       programming amortization and includes syndication programming       payments, consolidated adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations because       it excludes and includes several important non-cash financial line       items. Therefore, we consider both non-GAAP and GAAP measures when       evaluating our business.    (4) With the sale of the Company's radio assets in the Dallas market in       the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company no longer has any remaining       broadcasting operations in that market.  As a result, in accordance       with Company policy, the Company has elected to present its segment       information on a pro forma basis by eliminating its radio broadcasting       results from that market for the prior period so that the results of       operations between the periods will be more directly comparable.  The       Company believes that pro forma presentation is appropriate and useful       to investors when the Company exits an entire market or enters a new       market.  This pro forma presentation consists of non-GAAP measures.  A       table reconciling each pro forma measure to its most directly       comparable GAAP financial measure is included beginning on page 11.    (5) Free cash flow is defined as consolidated adjusted EBITDA less cash       paid for income taxes, net interest expense and capital expenditures.       Net interest expense is defined as interest expense, less non-cash       interest expense relating to amortization of debt finance costs, less       interest income less the change in the fair value of our interest rate       swaps. Free cash flow per share is defined as free cash flow divided       by the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding.    

Commenting on the Company's earnings results, Walter Ulloa, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "During the fourth quarter we continued to execute our strategy and build our audience shares in a challenging environment. We faced difficult comps due to the absence of events that occurred in the prior year period, as well as continued softness in the advertising market. While our primary focus is on improving our operating performance, we have continued to review avenues to maximize our assets in the M&A market. The planned divestiture of our outdoor business and our pending acquisition of WNUE-FM in Orlando, reflect our strategy of building leading TV and radio clusters in the nation's fastest growing Hispanic markets. The proceeds of the Outdoor sale will expand our financial flexibility and strengthen our ability to implement our business plan as we review all options for putting our cash to work, including strategic acquisitions and potentially returning capital to shareholders. Looking ahead, we remain well-positioned to capitalize on the expanding purchasing power of the Hispanic consumer."

The Company also announced today that it repurchased 2.1 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $15.5 million in the fourth quarter of 2007. The Company repurchased 7.2 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $60.7 million in 2007. The Company's Board of Directors had approved the repurchase of up to $100 million of its outstanding common stock on November 1, 2006. The Company has repurchased a total of 10.6 million shares of Class A common stock for approximately $84.2 million since the inception of this stock repurchase plan. Additionally, in February 2008 the Company repurchased 1.5 million shares for approximately $10.4 million from Univision Communications, Inc.

Sale of Outdoor Division and Impairment of Outdoor Intangibles

The Company announced today that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell its outdoor advertising division to Lamar Advertising Company for $100 million. The transaction, which is subject to customary closing requirements, is expected to close in the second quarter of 2008. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company will no longer have outdoor operations. In accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the Company reported the results of our outdoor operations in discontinued operations within the statements of operations. As part of the Company's annual impairment testing and decision to sell the outdoor segment, the Company recorded an $80.5 million impairment charge of outdoor intangible assets in the fourth quarter of 2007 that is included in discontinued operations.

Net revenue decreased to $62.5 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 from $64.1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $1.6 million. Of the overall decrease, $0.9 million came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising sales, primarily due to a decrease in advertising rates on a comparative basis, and a decrease in political revenue. Additionally, $0.7 million of the overall decrease came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in net revenue from our Tucson and Dallas radio stations that we sold in 2006.

Operating expenses decreased to $36.1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 from $36.2 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $0.1 million. Of the overall decrease, $0.3 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses from our Tucson and Dallas radio stations that we sold in 2006, partially offset by an increase in wages and bad debt expense. The overall decrease was partially offset by a $0.2 million increase in our television segment, which was primarily attributable to an increase in wages, bad debt expense and news costs related to the addition or expansion of our newscast operations, partially offset by a decrease in rating service expense.

Corporate expenses increased to $4.7 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007 from $4.6 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of $0.1 million. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in wages.

Net revenue decreased to $250.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $255.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $5.1 million. Of the overall decrease, $3.0 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in net revenue from our Tucson and Dallas radio stations that we sold in 2006, partially offset by an increase in local advertising sales despite difficult World Cup comparisons. Additionally, $2.1 million of the overall decrease came from our television segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in national advertising sales due to a decrease in advertising rates, as well as strong 2006 non- recurring revenue from major events, such as World Cup and political activity.

Operating expenses decreased to $143.9 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2007 from $144.6 million for the twelve-month period ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $0.7 million. Of the overall decrease, $2.5 million came from our radio segment and was primarily attributable to a decrease in operating expenses from our Tucson and Dallas radio stations that we sold in 2006, partially offset by an increase in wages and bad debt expense. The overall decrease was partially offset by a $1.8 million increase in our television operating expenses. The increase from this segment was primarily attributable to an increase in wages, bad debt expense and news costs related to the addition or expansion of our newscast operations, partially offset by a decrease in rating service expense.

Corporate expenses decreased to $17.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2007 from $17.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, a decrease of $0.1 million. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in bonuses.

The Company recorded an $80.5 million impairment charge of outdoor intangible assets that is included in loss from discontinued operations.

Pro Forma Segment Results

With the sale of the Company's radio assets in the Dallas market in the fourth quarter of 2006, the Company no longer has any remaining broadcasting operations in that market. As a result, in accordance with Company policy, the Company has elected to present its segment information on a pro forma basis by eliminating its radio broadcasting results from that market for the prior period so that the results of operations between the periods will be more directly comparable. The Company believes that pro forma presentation is appropriate and useful to investors when the Company exits an entire market or enters a new market. This pro forma presentation consists of non-GAAP measures. A table reconciling each pro forma measure to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is included beginning on page 11.

The following is the Company's selected unaudited pro forma segment information for the fourth quarter of 2007 and 2006:
