PART III — NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

Westwood One, Inc. (the “Company”; “we” or “our”) has determined that is not in a position to file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2009 (the “Form 10-Q”) by its prescribed due date (today). As previously disclosed in two 8-Ks, each filed with the SEC on April 27, 2009, the Company closed a refinancing of substantially all of its outstanding long-term debt (approximately $241,000 in principal amount) and a recapitalization of its equity (the “Refinancing”) in the second quarter.

As a result of the Refinancing, Gores Radio Holdings, LLC (together with certain related entities “Gores”) acquired approximately 75.1% of our equity (in preferred and common stock) and our then existing lenders acquired approximately 23.0% of our equity (in preferred and common stock). Accordingly, in the Form 10-Q, we will follow the acquisition method of accounting and apply the SEC rules and guidance regarding “push down” accounting treatment. The consolidated financial statements and relevant notes that will appear in the Form 10-Q will include blackline accounting and show two columns, one entitled predecessor company and another entitled successor company. Also, as part of the Refinancing, we have revalued our intangibles using our best estimate of current fair value. Finally, on August 3, 2009, we effected a 200:1 reverse stock split and converted all of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock into common stock.

In connection with the foregoing, the Company’s staff and resources have been substantially committed to effecting the foregoing accounting processes, but ultimately have been unable to complete all of the steps necessary to file its Form 10-Q today. The Company intends to file its Form 10-Q as promptly as practicable and in any event before August 14, 2009, the prescribed due date pursuant to this Form 12b-25.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS: Certain statements made in this report contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. The words or phrases “guidance,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimates” and “forecast” and similar words or expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. In addition any statements that refer to expectations or other characterizations of future events or circumstances are forward-looking statements. Other key risks are described in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, including the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly revise these forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances that arise after the date of this report.
