|
•
|
if the market has 45 or more radio stations, one entity may own up to eight stations, not more than five of which may be in the same service (AM or FM);
|
•
|
if the market has between 30 and 44 radio stations, one entity may own up to seven stations, not more than four of which may be in the same service;
|
•
|
if the market has between 15 and 29 radio stations, one entity may own up to six stations, not more than four of which may be in the same service; and
|
•
|

|
•
|
all officer and director positions in a licensee or its direct/indirect parent(s);
|
•
|
voting stock interests of at least 5% (or 20%, if the holder is a passive institutional investor,
i.e.
, a mutual fund, insurance company or bank);
|
•
|
any equity interest in a limited partnership or limited liability company where the limited partner or member has not been “insulated” from the media-related activities of the LP or LLC pursuant to specific FCC criteria;
|
•
|
equity and/or debt interests which, in the aggregate, exceed 33% of the total asset value of a station or other media entity (the “equity/debt plus policy”), if the interest holder supplies more than 15% of the station’s total weekly programming (usually pursuant to a time brokerage, local marketing or network affiliation agreement) or is a same-market media entity (
i.e.
, broadcast company or newspaper). In December 2007, the FCC increased these limits under certain circumstances where the equity and/or debt interests are in a small business meeting certain requirements. Although the Third Circuit vacated the FCC’s selected definition of small businesses eligible to take advantage of these increased limits in 2011, the FCC reinstated that definition in its August 2016 order.

•
|
proposals to limit the tax deductibility of advertising expenses by advertisers; and
|
•
|
proposals to regulate violence and hate speech in broadcasts.
|
•

satellite-delivered digital audio radio service, which has resulted in subscriber-based satellite radio services with numerous niche formats;
|
•
|
audio programming by cable systems, direct-broadcast satellite systems, Internet content providers and other digital audio broadcast formats;

personal digital audio devices (e.g., audio via Wi-Fi, smartphones, iPods

|
HD Radio
®
, which provides multi-channel, multi-format digital radio services in the same bandwidth currently occupied by traditional AM and FM radio services; and

limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our businesses and the industries in which we operate;
|
•
|
place us at a competitive disadvantage compared to some of our competitors that have less debt; and
|
•
|
limit, along with the financial and other restrictive covenants in our 2014 Credit Agreement, our ability to borrow additional funds or make acquisitions.

1.
|
I have reviewed this annual report on Form 10-K of Emmis Communications Corporation;
|
2.
|
Based on my knowledge, this report does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this report;
|
3.
|
Based on my knowledge, the financial statements, and other financial information included in this report, fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this report;
|
4.
|
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I are responsible for establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) and internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f)) for the registrant and have:
|
(a)
|
Designed such disclosure controls and procedures, or caused such disclosure controls and procedures to be designed under our supervision, to ensure that material information relating to the registrant, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those entities, particularly during the period in which this report is being prepared;
|
(b)
|
Designed such internal control over financial reporting, or caused such internal control over financial reporting to be designed under our supervision, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;
|
(c)
|
Evaluated the effectiveness of the registrant’s disclosure controls and procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end of the period covered by this report based on such evaluation; and
|
(d)
|
Disclosed in this report any change in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant’s most recent fiscal quarter (the registrant’s fourth fiscal quarter in the case of an annual report) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting; and
|
5.
|
The registrant’s other certifying officer and I have disclosed, based on our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to the registrant’s auditors and the audit committee of the registrant’s board of directors (or persons performing the equivalent functions):
|
(a)
|
All significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the registrant’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information; and
|
(b)
|
Any fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other employees who have a significant role in the registrant’s internal control over financial reporting.
