Article Excerpt
WASHINGTON -- Radio One, Inc. (NASDAQ: ROIAK and ROIA) today reported its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. Net broadcast revenue was approximately $101.5 million, an increase of 18% from the same period in 2004. Operating income was approximately $46.1 million, an increase of 18% from the same period in 2004. Station operating income(1) was approximately $55.3 million, an increase of 15% from the same period in 2004. Net income applicable to common stockholders was approximately $19.8 million or $0.19 per diluted share, an increase of 60% in net income applicable to common stockholders from the same period in 2004. Adjusted EBITDA(2) was $49.3 million, an increase of 13% from the same period in 2004.

Alfred C. Liggins, III, Radio One's CEO and President stated, "Our first full quarter with Reach Media turned out to be another very good one for Radio One. We handily outgrew our markets and posted solid results across the board. Additionally, in June, we began to execute our stock repurchase program, which we expect to continue in the upcoming months. With Reach Media and TV One now firmly in place alongside our radio platform, we think that the Company will start to benefit greatly from the sales, programming and promotional synergies that can be derived from cooperation across these three very powerful brands. I have never felt more optimistic about the future of Radio One than I do today."
