In November 2017, the company merged with CBS Radio. The transaction was structured as an exchange offer whereby owners of CBS Corporation common shares (i.e., not the multiple-voting shares held by CBS Corp parent company National Amusements) at the time of the merger could elect to exchange their shares for Entercom shares corresponding to a 72% stake in the combined company.[4][5]
On January 7, 2024, Audacy announced that it had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, citing approximately $1.9 billion in debt.[6]
