For Immediate Release

CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp. and CMP Susquehanna Corp.
Announce Exchange Offer for 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 of
CMP Susquehanna Corp.

Atlanta, Georgia — March 9, 2009 — CMP Susquehanna Radio Holdings Corp. (the “Company”) today announced that it and CMP Susquehanna Corp. (“CMPSC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, have commenced an exchange offer and consent solicitation to refinance CMPSC’s 9 7/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2014 (the “Existing Notes”). The aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes outstanding as of March 6, 2009 was $187.6 million.

The exchange offer and consent solicitation will expire at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on April 3, 2009 (such date and time, the “Expiration Time”), unless extended or earlier terminated by CMPSC and the Company. In order to be eligible to receive the total exchange amount, including the early exchange premium, eligible holders of Existing Notes must tender their Existing Notes prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 23, 2009 (such date and time, the “Early Participation Deadline”), unless such deadline is extended by CMPSC and the Company.

The exchange offer and consent solicitation are only being made, and copies of the exchange offer documents will only be made available, to holders of Existing Notes that have certified certain matters to CMPSC, including their status as either “qualified institutional buyers,” as that term is defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, or persons other than “U.S. persons,” as that term is defined in Rule 902 under the Securities Act of 1933 (collectively, “Eligible Holders”).

The Company and CMPSC are offering to exchange all of the outstanding Existing Notes held by eligible holders in exchange for (1) up to $15 million aggregate principal amount of Variable Rate Senior Subordinated Secured Second Lien Notes due 2014 of CMPSC (the “New Notes”), (2) up to $35 million in shares of Series A preferred stock of the Company (the “New Preferred Stock”), and (3) warrants exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock representing, in the aggregate, up to 40% of the outstanding common stock on a fully diluted basis (the “New Warrants” and, with the New Notes and New Preferred Stock, the “New Securities”).

The New Notes will be secured on a second-priority basis by a security interest in substantially all of CMPSC’s existing and future assets and will be subordinated to all first priority senior secured indebtedness of CMPSC, including its senior credit facilities. In addition, the New Notes will be initially guaranteed on a second-priority senior secured subordinated basis by the Company and each subsidiary of the Company that guarantees the CMPSC’s senior credit facilities.

The New Preferred Stock, with an initial stated value of $10 per share, will pay dividends semiannually in arrears, only when, as and if declared by the Company’s board of directors from funds legally available, payable in additional shares of New Preferred Stock at an annual rate equal to 9.875% of the stated value per share. Dividends will be cumulative from the date of first issuance, and will be calculated and compounded semiannually. Shares of New Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of the Company at specified prices determined based on the date of redemption.

The New Warrants will be immediately exercisable for shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, to comprise, as of the date of issuance, up to 40% of the outstanding shares of common stock on a fully diluted basis. Holders of the New Warrants will have customary “tag-along” rights, preemptive rights and anti-dilution protections.

Eligible Holders of Existing Notes that validly tender their Existing Notes prior to the Early Participation Deadline, and whose notes are accepted for exchange by CMPSC, will receive the total exchange amount set forth below for each $1,000 in principal amount of Existing Notes:


Principal Exchange Amount	Early Participation Amount	Total Exchange Amount (Includes Early Participation Amount)


$63.97 in New Notes	$15.99 in New Notes	$79.96 in New Notes

$149.26 in shares of New Preferred Stock	$37.31 in shares of New Preferred Stock	$186.57 in shares of New Preferred Stock

New Warrants exercisable for 17.06 shares of Radio Holdings Common Stock	New Warrants exercisable for 4.26 shares of Radio Holdings Common Stock	New Warrants exercisable for 21.32 shares of Radio Holdings Common Stock

Eligible Holders of Existing Notes that validly tender their Existing Notes after the Early Participation Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time, and whose notes are accepted for exchange, will receive the principal exchange amount but not the early participation amount. Holders will not be entitled to withdraw tenders of their Existing Notes except under certain limited circumstances.

Concurrently with the exchange offer, CMPSC is soliciting consents from Eligible Holders that held their Existing Notes as of March 6, 2009 to proposed amendments to the indenture governing the Existing Notes that would eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other related provisions in the indenture. No consideration is being paid to holders of Existing Notes in connection with the consent solicitation.

Consummation of the exchange offer is subject to certain conditions, including, without limitation, the receipt of the requisite consents required to amend the indenture governing the Existing Notes (a condition that may not be waived) and the tender of at least 98% of the outstanding amount of Existing Notes, as well as certain additional conditions, which must also be satisfied or waived.

The settlement date in respect of any Existing Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange and the consents that are validly delivered prior to the Early Participation Deadline will be promptly after the Early Participation Deadline and is expected to be on or about March 24, 2009, the first business day following the Early Participation Deadline, unless the exchange offer or consent solicitation is extended or earlier terminated by the Company and CMPSC in their sole discretion. The settlement date in respect of any Existing Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange and the consents that are validly delivered after the Early Participation Deadline but prior to the Expiration Time will be promptly after the Expiration Time and is expected to be on April 4, 2009, the first business day following the Expiration Time, unless the exchange offer or consent solicitation is extended or earlier terminated by the Company and CMPSC in their sole discretion.

Prior to launching the exchange offer and consent solicitation, the Company and CMPSC entered into agreements with Eligible Holders of approximately 72% of the outstanding aggregate principal amount of the Existing Notes pursuant to which such Eligible Holders have agreed to validly tender their Existing Notes and validly deliver and not validly revoke the corresponding consents with respect to such Existing Notes, subject to the terms and conditions of such agreements and the offer documents.
