Business Description
Urban One, Inc. operates as a leading multi-platform media enterprise in the United States, with a core focus on serving urban audiences. Its diverse operations are structured across four primary divisions: Radio Broadcasting, Cable Television, Reach Media, and Digital. The company's Radio Broadcasting arm, branded as Radio One, specifically targets African-American and urban listeners. By the close of 2021, this extensive network included 64 broadcast stations—comprising 54 FM or AM channels, 8 HD stations, and 2 low-power television outlets—strategically located in 13 major urban markets. In its Cable Television segment, Urban One oversees two dedicated networks: TV One, a channel specifically tailored for African-American viewers, and CLEO TV, which provides lifestyle and entertainment programming. Through its Reach Media segment, the company delivers widely syndicated radio shows, notably "Get Up! Mornings with Erica Campbell," "The Rickey Smiley Morning Show," "The Russ Parr Morning Show," and "The DL Hughley Show." This division also manages BlackAmericaWeb.com, an online portal offering news and entertainment content aimed at the African-American community, alongside various event-related initiatives. The Digital segment encompasses Interactive One, a comprehensive digital platform designed to engage the African-American populace. It provides a rich array of social content, news, information, and entertainment through various websites and brands, including Cassius, Bossip, HipHopWired, and MadameNoire. Founded in 1980, the company was initially known as Radio One, Inc. before officially rebranding as Urban One, Inc. in May 2017. Its corporate headquarters are located in Silver Spring, Maryland.

Normal free float
— 70.8% of shares trade freely, ~29.2% held by insiders/institutions
Healthy float typical of established companies. Good liquidity for entering and exiting positions without major price impact.
Small absolute float (1.8M shares) — even with a decent free float %, volume can be thin. Check average daily volume before sizing a position.
Price History (1 Year)
Revenue & Net Income Trend
The directional story — useful even when net income is negative.
Revenue
The top line — total sales before any costs or taxes are subtracted. A measure of how much business the company is doing.
Net Income
The bottom line — profit left after subtracting all expenses, interest, and taxes from revenue. Reflects accounting profitability, but includes non-cash items like depreciation, so it isn't the same as cash earned.
Operating Cash Flow
The real cash generated by the day-to-day business — selling products, paying suppliers, collecting from customers. Calculated from net income by adding back non-cash items and adjusting for timing (unpaid bills, unsold inventory). When OCF consistently lags net income, the reported profit may not be converting to real money.
