Entercom Communications Corp. (NYSE: ETM) today announced that its Board of Directors has approved the initiation of a dividend program under which the Company intends to pay a regular quarterly cash dividend to its common shareholders. The Board declared an initial quarterly cash dividend of $0.075 per share of Class A and Class B Common stock, payable on June 15, 2016 to shareholders of record as of the close of business on May 25, 2016.

David J. Field, President and Chief Executive Officer, stated: “The decision by Entercom’s Board of Directors to initiate a quarterly cash dividend reflects its confidence in the Company’s strong operating performance, significant cash flow generation, moderate leverage and excellent growth prospects. Entercom’s new dividend amounts to $0.30 per share on an annual basis and represents an approximate 3% yield on its stock price. On an annualized basis, the dividend is approximately 17% of the Company's trailing twelve-month free cash flow, enabling us to continue to invest in our business, pursue compelling growth opportunities and reduce debt while delivering immediate value to our shareholders.”
