     Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:
     From August 2, 2008 through November 14, 2008, the Lewis W. Dickey, Sr. Revocable Trust (the “Trust”), of which Lew Dickey, Sr. is trustee, purchased an aggregate of 432,047 shares of Class A Common Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $1,023,374.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     Item 5(a) and (c) are hereby amended and restated to read as follows:
     (a) For purposes of calculating the percentages set forth in this Item 5, (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding is assumed to be 36,032,902 and the number of shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”) is assumed to be 644,871 (which represents the shares of Class A Common

6

 

Stock and Class C Common Stock outstanding as of October 31, 2008, as represented on the front cover to the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2008).
     Lewis W. Dickey, Jr.
     Lew Dickey, Jr. is deemed to beneficially own 4,865,923 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:
  •   2,331,052 shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned;
 
  •   options to purchase 1,380,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days;
 
  •   644,871 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, directly owned;

  •   10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by DBBC and deemed to be beneficially owned by Lew Dickey, Jr. in his capacity as manager of DBBC.
     Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options and the conversion of all of the shares of Class C Common Stock (including those shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options) into Class A Common Stock, Lew Dickey, Jr. would be deemed to beneficially own 4,865,923 shares, or 12.8% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
