12. Earnings Per Share

Successor

Basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 included the outstanding amount of both class A and class B common stock, Special Warrants, whether outstanding or held in reserve to be issued, as well as 0.7 million outstanding nonvested shares of class A common stock. The Company's class A and class B common stock and Special Warrants, including warrants held in reserve, are treated equally for accounting purposes, and the distinctions relate solely to certain voting restrictions and conversion mechanisms in order to allow the Company to comply with applicable FCC rules and regulations. Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner as basic earnings per share after assuming issuance of common stock for all potentially dilutive equivalent shares. There were no potentially dilutive equivalent shares related to options to purchase shares of class A common stock for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011.

The diluted shares outstanding for each of the two and five months ended May 31, 2010 included approximately 1.9 million shares of common stock of the Predecessor related to the conversion of the Predecessor's convertible subordinated notes. While operating under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code, the Predecessor was prohibited from paying unsecured pre-petition debts, including the convertible subordinated notes and interest thereon. Therefore, for the two and five months ended May 31, 2010, there was no related interest expense to consider in the calculation of the Predecessor's diluted shares. There were no potentially dilutive equivalent shares related to nonvested shares of common stock or options to purchase shares of common stock for the two and five months ended May 31, 2010.
