Three Months

Interest expense increased $4.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. The increase was primarily due to an increase in the interest rate on the $2.5 billion note to Clear Channel Communications. The interest rate is based on Clear Channel Communications’ weighted average cost of debt, which increased due to the merger. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion of the impact of the merger on interest expense.

Nine Months

Interest expense decreased $1.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. The decline is due to a decrease in the amount borrowed on the bank credit facility and an increase in interest income on the “Due from Clear Channel Communications” account.

Interest Expense (Including Interest on Debt with Clear Channel Communications)

Interest expense decreased $2.4 million and $5.8 million during the three and six months ended June 30, 2008 as compared to the same periods of 2007. The decrease was mainly due to a decline in the interest rate on the $2.5 billion note to Clear Channel Communications. Due to the merger transaction between Clear Channel Communications and private equity funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P., we expect interest expense will increase. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below for further discussion of how interest expense will increase as a result of the merger.

Interest Expense (Including Interest on Debt with Clear Channel Communications)

Interest expense decreased $3.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 as compared to the same period of 2007. The decrease was mainly due to a decline in the interest rate on the $2.5 billion note to Clear Channel Communications. If the proposed merger transaction between Clear Channel Communications and private equity funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P. is consummated, we expect interest expense will increase.

Interest Expense (Including Interest on Debt with Clear Channel Communications)

Interest expense decreased $4.7 million during 2007 as compared to 2006, primarily as a result of a decline in the average debt balance during the period.

Interest expense decreased $35.8 million during 2006 as compared to 2005, primarily as a result of a decrease in average debt outstanding. Prior to the IPO, we had two fixed principal and interest rate notes in place. The first note, in the original principal amount of approximately $1.4 billion, accrued interest at 10% per annum. The second note, in the original principal amount of $73.0 million, accrued interest at 9% per annum. We used all of the net proceeds from the IPO, along with our balance in the “Due from Clear Channel Communications” account, to repay a portion of the outstanding balances of the $1.4 billion and $73.0 million notes. The remaining balance of $393.7 million was recorded as a capital contribution pursuant to the Master Agreement between us and Clear Channel Communications.

If the proposed merger transaction between Clear Channel Communications and private equity funds sponsored by Bain Capital Partners, LLC and Thomas H. Lee Partners L.P. is consummated, we expect interest expense will increase.
