| RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | 7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS Reach Media operates the Tom Joyner Foundation’s Fantastic Voyage® (the “Fantastic Voyage®”), an annual cruise fundraising event, on behalf of the Tom Joyner Foundation, Inc. (the “Foundation”), a 501(c)(3) entity. The agreement under which the Fantastic Voyage® operates provides that Reach Media provide all necessary operations of the cruise, and that Reach Media will be reimbursed its expenditures and receive a fee based on performance. The Foundation’s remittances to Reach Media under the agreement are limited to its Fantastic Voyage® related cash collections. Reach Media bears the risk should the Fantastic Voyage® sustain a loss and bears all credit risk associated with the related passenger cruise package sales. Effective August 12, 2024, Reach Media and the Foundation entered into a new agreement regarding the Fantastic Voyage (the “FV Revised Agreement”). Cruises beginning with Fantastic Voyage 2025 will operate under the FV Revised Agreement. The FV Revised Agreement provides that Reach Media shall have the right, but not the obligation, to renew the agreement for another year, provided that it notifies the Foundation within ninety (90) days of the conclusion of the prior cruise. The Foundation owed Reach Media approximately $1.0 million as of December 31, 2024. Reach Media provides office facilities (including office space, telecommunications facilities, and office equipment) to the Foundation. Such services are provided to the Foundation on a pass-through basis at cost. Additionally, from time to time, the Foundation reimburses Reach Media for expenditures paid on its behalf at Reach Media-related events. Under these arrangements, the Foundation owed immaterial amounts to Reach Media as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. Alfred C. Liggins, President and Chief Executive Officer of Urban One, Inc., was a compensated member of the Board of Directors of Broadcast Music, Inc. (“BMI”), a performance rights organization to which the Company pays license fees in the ordinary course of business. On February 8, 2024, a sale of BMI to a shareholder group led by New Mountain Capital, LLC, was completed. Based on the Company's equity interest in BMI, the sale resulted in cash proceeds of approximately $0.8 million. Due to the sale of BMI, Mr. Liggins is no longer a member of the BMI Board of Directors. The Company incurred expenses of approximately $0.8 million with BMI during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
