SALEM
COMMUNICATIONS ANNOUNCES A 0.3% INCREASE IN THIRD QUARTER 2007 TOTAL
REVENUE
CAMARILLO,
Calif. November 7, 2007 – Salem Communications Corporation (Nasdaq: SALM), a
leading U.S. radio broadcaster, Internet content provider, magazine and book
publisher targeting audiences interested in content related to faith, family
and
conservative values, today announced results for the three month period ended
September 30, 2007.
Commenting
on the company’s results, Edward G. Atsinger III, Chief Executive Officer of
Salem, said, “The radio market continues to prove challenging for all
broadcasters. While our net broadcasting revenue was down 1.2%, we
did have some positive indications during the quarter. On a same
station basis, advertising revenue on our Contemporary Christian music stations
grew 3.1%, our block programming revenue increased 3.6% and our non-broadcast
businesses grew revenue 14.9% to $6.2 million. We remain confident about
the
stability of our business model as we continue to invest in new media businesses
that give us the ability to repurpose content and leverage the promotional
abilities of our radio stations.”

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, 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.
