About Urban One
From its filings with the US Securities and Exchange Commission
Urban One is based in Silver Spring, Maryland and is incorporated in Delaware. Its shares trade on Nasdaq under the ticker UONEK. The SEC classifies its business as radio broadcasting stations. In the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, it reported revenue of $374.4m and a net loss of $146.9m. At that date it held total assets of $593.0m and shareholders' equity of $24.6m.
Urban One, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Urban One”, the “Company”, “we”, “our” and/or “us”) is an urban-oriented, multi-media company that primarily targets African-American and urban consumers. Our core business is our radio broadcasting franchise, which is the largest radio broadcasting operation that primarily targets African-American and urban listeners. As of December 31, 2025, we owned and/or operated 76 independently formatted, revenue producing broadcast stations (including 58 FM or AM stations, 16 HD stations, and the 2 low power television stations we operate), located in 13 of the most populous African-American markets in the United States. While a core source of our revenue has historically been and remains the sale of local and national advertising for broadcast on our radio stations, our strategy is to operate the premier multi-media entertainment and information content platform targeting African-American and urban consumers. Thus, we have diversified our revenue streams by making acquisitions and investments in other complementary media properties. Our diverse media and entertainment interests include TV One, LLC (“TV One”), which operates two cable television networks targeting African-American and urban viewers, TV One and CLEO TV; our approximately 94.6% ownership interest in Reach Media, Inc.
