Some of the statements in this report constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Certain, but not necessarily all, of such forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “will,” “should,” or “anticipates” or the negative thereof or other variations thereof or comparable terminology, or by discussion of strategies, each of which involves risks and uncertainties. All statements other than historical facts included herein, including those regarding market trends, Media’s financial position, business strategy, projected plans, estimated impact of accounting treatment changes, estimated SEC filing dates, and objectives of management for future operations, and the potential sale of Media’s businesses are forward-looking statements. Many of these risks are discussed in Media’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2004. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results or performance of Media to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited to, general economic and business conditions (both nationally and in Media’s markets), the outcome of the potential sale of our Radio and Cable businesses, interest rate movements, terrorists’ acts or adverse reactions to United States anti-terrorism activities, the amount and timing of compensation charges, our ability to service our outstanding indebtedness and the impact such indebtedness may have on the way we operate our businesses, changes in accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and changes in SEC rules and regulations, advances in technology and our ability to capitalize on such advances, decreases in our customers’ advertising and entertainment expenditures, acquisition opportunities and Media’s ability to integrate successfully any such acquisitions, our ability to successfully enter new lines of business, from time to time, such as telephony, meet expectations and estimates concerning future financial performance, financing plans, the impact of competition, existing and future regulations affecting Media’s business, possible nonrenewal of cable franchises, and other factors over which Media may have little or no control.
