Reve-News: Beasley reported Q1 2025 net revenue of $48.9 million, down 10.1% from $54.4m the same period last year, and off 8.5% on a same-station basis, largely due to a decline in agency revenue. This is the lowest revenue quarter for the company since Q1 2021. Operating loss was $2m, compared to a loss of $1.1m in Q1 2024. Digital revenue was off slightly from $11m to $10.8m. "We believe Beasley is well-positioned to navigate short-term market challenges while building a more durable and diversified revenue base," says CEO Caroline Beasley. Full release here.
