COMPLETE Valuation
A complete valuation uses several industry standard metrics, including cash flow, people covered, comparable sales and others. This valuation method is for commercial radio stations with "meaningful" operating income, or cash flow.
BASIC Valuation
A BASIC valuation is used for properties that do not have meaningful operating cash flow. It considers "people covered", or POPS, and is a well-accepted method. BASIC Valuation is also used for non-commercial stations.
Our BASIC valuation is commonly rererred to as "Stick Value".
