FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Citadel Broadcasting Corporation Reports 2010 Second Quarter Operating Results

Las Vegas, Nevada –August 16, 2010 – Citadel Broadcasting Corporation (the “Company”) today reported certain results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010.

Farid Suleman, Chief Executive Officer of Citadel Broadcasting Corporation, commented: “The Company’s continued focus on profitable programming and the improvement in the overall economic environment in the radio industry has resulted in increases to revenues in the first half of the year. The higher revenues were primarily driven by an improvement of approximately 5.4% at our Radio Markets segment. In addition, the Company has been able to simultaneously reduce operating expenses, resulting in an EBITDA growth of over 24% for the first half of 2010.”

The discussion and analysis below of the Company’s results for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 combines the results of the Company in 2010 prior to the emergence of bankruptcy through May 31, 2010 (the “Predecessor”), with the results of the Company post emergence from bankruptcy, from June 1, 2010 through June 30, 2010 (the “Successor”). This presentation is not in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States; however, the Company believes the combined results allow for a comparison of the of the three and six months ended June 30, 2010, both Predecessor and Successor, to the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 of the Predecessor. For more information regarding the Predecessor and Successor results, please see the Company’s Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 16, 2010.

Net revenue for the second quarter of 2010 was $194.4 million as compared to $188.1 million for the second quarter of 2009, an increase of $6.3 million, or 3.3%. This increase was due to an $8.3 million revenue increase, or 5.3%, at our Radio Markets segment, slightly offset by a $1.8 million revenue decrease at our Radio Network segment. The increase in revenue at our Radio Markets segment is primarily due to increases in both national and local advertising. Generally, our stations in larger metropolitan markets performed better than those stations in medium to small metropolitan markets. Our stations in Los Angeles, CA, Detroit, MI, Little Rock, AR and Birmingham, AL showed significant revenue growth, while revenues at our Dallas, TX, New York, NY, Salt Lake City, UT and Knoxville, TN stations were lower when compared to the prior year quarter.

Operating income for the second quarter of 2010 was $56.0 million compared to an operating loss of $944.1 million in the corresponding 2009 period, which reflected asset impairment charges of $985.7 million. Excluding the asset impairment charges, operating income in the second quarter of 2010 increased by $14.4 million, or 34.6%.

Segment operating income (a non-GAAP financial measure generally defined as operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude depreciation and amortization, asset impairment charges, stock-based compensation, corporate general and administrative expenses, local marketing agreement fees, and other, net) was $77.8 million for the second quarter of 2010, compared to $63.9 million for the second quarter of 2009. This increase of $13.9 million, or 21.8%, was due to a $10.6 million increase at our Radio Markets segment and a $3.2 million increase at our Radio Network segment.

EBITDA (a non-GAAP financial measure, which we define as segment operating income less corporate general and administrative expenses, exclusive of non-cash stock compensation) was $72.5 million for the second quarter of 2010 compared to $58.4 million for the second quarter of 2009, a $14.1 million increase, or 24.1%.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company’s total borrowings were $762.5 million and cash on hand was approximately $87 million as compared to outstanding debt of approximately $2.1 billion and cash on hand of approximately $28 million as of June 30, 2009. The Company recently received credit ratings of BB+ and stable outlook from Standard & Poor’s and Ba2 and stable outlook from Moody’s on its term loan facility of $762.5 million.

SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES REGARDING NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION

(Unaudited; Amounts in thousands)

Reconciliation of Segment Operating Income and EBITDA to Operating Income or Loss

The following table sets forth the Company’s segment operating income and EBITDA for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009. The Company defines “segment operating income” as operating income (loss) adjusted to exclude the following amounts included in its statement of operations: depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation, corporate general and administrative expenses, local marketing agreement fees, and other, net. The Company defines “EBITDA” as segment operating income less corporate general and administrative expenses, exclusive of non-cash stock compensation.

Segment operating income and EBITDA, among other things, are used by the Company’s management, including its Chief Executive Officer (its chief operating decision-maker), to evaluate the Company’s operating performance, to value prospective acquisitions, and as the basis of incentive compensation targets for certain management personnel. In addition, these measures are among the primary measures used by management, including its Chief Executive Officer, for the planning and forecasting of future periods. The Company believes the presentation of these measures is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view the performance in a manner similar to the method used by the Company’s management, helps improve their ability to understand the Company’s operating performance and makes it easier to compare the Company’s results with other companies that have different financing and capital structures or tax rates. In addition, these measures are also among the primary measures used externally by the Company’s investors, analysts and peers in its industry for purposes of valuation and comparing the operating performance of the Company to other companies in its industry.

Since segment operating income and EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), these measures should not be considered in isolation of, or as a substitute for, operating income or loss, net income or loss, cash flows provided by operating, investing and financing activities, or other income or cash flow statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP. Segment operating income and EBITDA, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies. In addition, segment operating income and EBITDA do not necessarily represent the residual cash flow that is available for discretionary expenditures and excludes other non-discretionary expenditures, including among others, mandatory debt service requirements. As a result, segment operating income and EBITDA are not necessarily measures of the Company’s liquidity or its ability to fund its cash needs.

8

Segment operating income and EBITDA do not reflect the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. As segment operating income and EBITDA exclude certain financial information compared with operating income or loss, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, users of this financial information should consider the types of events and transactions that are excluded. As required by the SEC, the Company provides below a reconciliation of segment operating income and EBITDA to operating income or loss, the most directly comparable amount reported under GAAP.

Reconciliation of Predecessor and Successor Periods

The following tables provide reconciliations of the Predecessor and Successor components of certain operating results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2010. The tables above combine the results of the Predecessor and Successor periods in 2010, which is not in accordance with GAAP, but which the Company believes is useful for management and investors to assess the Company’s ongoing financial and operational performance and trends.
