Operating income decreased 28.8% to $7.1 million from $10.0 million;

Net income decreased to $0.2 million, or $0.01 net income per diluted share, from $3.3 million, or $0.14 net income per diluted share;

EBITDA decreased 29.3% to $10.9 million from $15.4 million;

Adjusted EBITDA decreased 8.7% to $13.8 million from $15.1 million;

Broadcasting

Net broadcasting revenue decreased 1.8% to $52.2 million from $53.2 million;

Station operating income (“SOI”) decreased 7.7% to $18.0 million from $19.5 million;

Same station net broadcasting revenue decreased 2.1% to $50.8 million from $51.9 million;

Same station SOI decreased 7.2% to $18.2 million from $19.6 million;

Same station SOI margin decreased to 35.7% from 37.7%;

Non-broadcast Media

Non-broadcast revenue increased 14.1% to $6.9 million from $6.0 million; and

Non-broadcast operating income increased 23.5% to $0.5 million from $0.4 million.

Included in the results for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 are:

A $0.1 million loss on the disposal of assets;

A $1.9 million impairment charge ($1.0 million, net of tax or $0.08 per share) resulting from our decision to discontinue the printing of CCM Magazine; and

A $0.9 million non-cash compensation charge ($0.5 million, net of tax, or $0.02 per share) related to the expensing of stock options consisting of:

$0.6 million non-cash compensation included in corporate expenses; and

$0.3 million non-cash compensation included in broadcasting operating expenses.

On February 7, 2007, we sold WKNR (850 AM) in Cleveland, Ohio. We discontinued operating this radio station under a local marketing agreement effective December 1, 2006. For the quarter ended December 31, 2007, this station did not generate any revenue or profit. For the comparable 2006 period, the station generated net broadcasting revenue of $0.4 million and generated no profit.

These results reflect the reclassification of the operations of our Milwaukee stations to discontinued operations for all periods presented. These stations had net broadcasting revenue of approximately $0.5 million and generated a profit of $0.1 million for both the quarters ended December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2006.

Other comprehensive loss of $1.6 million, net of tax, for the quarter ended December 31, 2007 is due to the change in fair market value of the company’s interest rate swaps.

Per share numbers are calculated based on 23,668,788 diluted weighted average shares for the quarter ended December 31, 2007, and 23,852,840 diluted weighted average shares for the comparable 2006 period.

Other comprehensive loss of $2.3 million, net of tax, for the year ended December 31, 2007 is due to the change in fair market value of the company’s interest rate swaps.

Per share numbers are calculated based on 23,788,568 diluted weighted average shares for the year ended December 31, 2007, and 24,223,751 diluted weighted average shares for the comparable 2006 period.

Balance Sheet

As of December 31, 2007, the company had net debt of $353.8 million and was in compliance with the covenants of its credit facilities and bond indentures. The company’s bank leverage ratio was 6.0 versus a compliance covenant of 6.25 and its bond leverage ratio was 5.1 versus a compliance covenant of 7.0.

Acquisitions and Divestitures

The following transactions are currently pending:

KKSN (910 AM) in Portland, Oregon will be acquired for approximately $4.5 million (this station is operated by Salem under a local marketing agreement that began on February 1, 2007 with the call letters KTRO);

WTPS (1080 AM) in Miami, Florida will be acquired for approximately $12.3 million (this station is operated by Salem under a local marketing agreement that began on October 18, 2007 with the call letters WMCU);

KTEK (1110 AM) in Houston, Texas will be sold for approximately $7.8 million (this station is operated by the buyer under a time brokerage agreement that began on November 29, 2007)

WHKZ (1440 AM) in Warren, Ohio will be sold for approximately $0.6 million;

WRRD (540 AM) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, will be sold for approximately $3.8 million (this station is operated by the buyer under a local marketing agreement that began on February 14, 2008); and

First Quarter 2008 Outlook

We have elected to discontinue the practice of providing specific quarterly revenue, SOI and earnings per share guidance. Going forward, Salem will provide a quarterly range for total revenue and operating expenses. Accordingly, for the first quarter of 2008, Salem is projecting total revenue to decrease in the low-single digit range over first quarter 2007 total revenue of $55.2 million. Salem is also projecting operating expenses before gain or loss on disposal of assets to increase in the low-to-mid-single digit range over first quarter of 2007 operating expenses of $46.7 million. This increase is primarily the result of increased investment in our non-broadcast business.

Forward Looking Statements

Statements used in this press release that relate to future plans, events, financial results, prospects or performance are forward-looking statements as defined under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Actual results may differ materially from those anticipated as a result of certain risks and uncertainties, including but not limited to the ability of Salem to close and integrate announced transactions, market acceptance of Salem’s radio station formats, competition from new technologies, adverse economic conditions, and other risks and uncertainties detailed from time to time in Salem's reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings filed with or furnished to the Securities and Exchange Commission. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. Salem undertakes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, changed circumstances or unanticipated events.

Regulation G

Station operating income, non-broadcast operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Station operating income is defined as net broadcasting revenues minus broadcasting operating expenses. Non-broadcast operating income is defined as non-broadcast revenue minus non-broadcast operating expenses. EBITDA is defined as net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA before loss on early redemption of long-term debt, impairment of goodwill and intangible assets, discontinued operations (net of tax), gain or loss on the disposal of assets and non-cash compensation expense. In addition, Salem has provided supplemental information as an attachment to this press release, reconciling these non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The company believes these non-GAAP financial measures, when considered in conjunction with the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, provide useful measures of the company’s operating performance.

Station operating income, non-broadcast operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are generally recognized by the broadcasting industry as important measures of performance and are used by investors as well as analysts who report

on the industry to provide meaningful comparisons between broadcasting. Station operating income, non-broadcast operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not a measure of liquidity or of performance in accordance with GAAP, and should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for, or superior to, the company’s results of operations presented on a GAAP basis such as operating income and net income. In addition, Salem’s definitions of station operating income, non-broadcast operating income, EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

CAMARILLO, CA March 4, 2008 – Salem Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: SALM), a leading U.S. radio broadcaster, Internet content provider, and magazine and book publisher targeting audiences interested in Christian and family-themed content and conservative values, today announced the results of its national block programming rate negotiations, which are conducted annually at the start of each year. The average increase in rates for 2008 is approximately 4% with 90% of the block programming contracts successfully renewed.

Commenting on the company’s results, Edward G. Atsinger III, CEO said, “Our Christian Teaching and Talk format is featured on nearly one-half of Salem’s radio stations, and we have at least one station in this format in 30 separate markets. We also offer this format on the XM Radio Family Talk Channel. Christian Teaching and Talk has been and will continue to be our foundational format.

“The ongoing success of this format is directly related to the effort we and our 125 national block program customers put into making our relationship a true partnership. The programmers provide compelling content. We provide the broadcast platform. In addition, many of the personalities featured on these programs make themselves available to speak at local radio events. We sponsored over 50 of these events in 2007, connecting stations, programmers and the local church community at a personal level. Our commitment to this type of partnership results in consistent renewals and a reliable stream of revenue and cash flow.”
