    DESCRIPTION OF TRANSACTION AND PUBLIC INTEREST STATEMENT


Satellite earth station E861076 is licensed to Radio License Holding I, LLC ("RLH I")‘
and is currently used in connection with radio broadcast stations in Detroit, Michigan, to
facilitate broadcasts to the public. On December 20, 2009, Citadel Broadcasting
Corporation ("Citadel"), the indirect parent of RLH I, and the subsidiaries of Citadel that
hold broadcast licenses (the "Citadel Licensee Subsidiaries" and together with Citadel,
the "Debtors"), including RLH I, filed voluntary petitions for bankruptcy seeking relief
under the provisions of Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code to effectuate a restructuring
of the debt obligations of the Debtors with the United States Bankruptcy Court of the
Southern District of New York ("Bankruptcy Court"). Accordingly, the Debtors are now
operating as debtors—in—possession under the Bankruptcy Court‘s oversight.

Upon the filing of the Chapter 11 Joint Plan of Reorganization (the "Plan"), as modified,
with the Bankruptcy Court, applications were filed on FCC Form 315 on March 18, 2010,
requesting Commission consent to the transfer of control of the broadcast radio station
licenses held by the Citadel Licensee Subsidiaries, including RLH I, Debtor—in—
Possession, from the existing shareholders of Citadel to the shareholders of Citadel
Broadcasting Company, as Reorganized (the surviving company after the reorganization
described in the Plan) (hereinafter "CB Company"). See FCC File No. BTC—
20100318AJP—AJR. Those applications remain pending.

The Chapter 11 Plan contemplates that, on and after the effective date of the Plan, the
Debtors will cease to be debtors—in—possession and will be reorganized in accordance with
the applicable bankruptcy law. Upon emergence from bankruptcy, all of the currently
outstanding equity interests of the Debtors will be cancelled and extinguished. On the
effective date, Citadel will merge with and into CB Company, with CB Company as the
surviving entity. The assets of Citadel shall be transferred to CB Company and new
common stock and special warrants in CB Company shall be issued. Each of the Citadel
Licensee Subsidiaries, including RLH I, shall continue to exist after the effective date as
a separate entity.

Accordingly, by this application, Radio License Holding I, LLC, Debtor—in—Possession,
requests FCC consent to assign the license for satellite earth station E861076 from Radio
License Holding I, LLC, Debtor—in—Possession, to Radio License Holding I, LLC (as
controlled by CB Company), the Citadel Licensee Subsidiary that will ultimately hold the

  On April 4, 2010, an application was filed on FCC Form 312 seeking FCC consent to the pro forma
assignment of license from Radio License Holding I, LLC to Radio License Holding I, LLC, Debtor—in—
Possession (See FCC File No. SES—ASG—20100505—00389). That application remains pending.


                                       Radio License Holding I, LLC, Debtor—in—Possession
                                                           Satellite Earth Station E861076
                                                                            FCC Form 312
                                                                                  Exhibit 1


E861076 license upon approval of the Plan by the Bankruptcy Court and the company‘s
emergence from bankruptcy.

Approval of this assignment application will allow RLH I to operate satellite earth station
E861076 to facilitate its broadcasts to the public upon emergence from bankruptcy. It is
therefore respectfully submitted that the grant of this application will serve the public
interest, convenience and necessity.
