“On advertising, if we strip away some of the movement due to trade and barter, can you talk a bit more about the health of the underlying ad environment as we roll from 2Q into the back half of the year?”
“On core advertising, just a quick hearing check. I wanted to confirm the flat third quarter guide applies to both an as-reported and on a combined basis for the new stations you brought into the portfolio.”
“Just two questions from me, and I apologize if I missed this, But how is core advertising trending in the third quarter relative to the down 5.8 you cited for 2Q?”
“Chris, you get the first crack at upcoming FCC cap repeal and any comments you want to make, it seems likely tomorrow. So a little premature, but we've obviously been talking M&A in the space for a long time.”
“And then secondly, on your non-cash marketing, I believe I heard you say it came in a bit heavier than you anticipated in this quarter, but that it would moderate as the year kind of progressed.”
