CEO Ed Atsinger said he was quite pleased with the numbers for the quarter, due to the fact in Q1 of 2016 Salem took in $1.2 million in political ad revenue and this year only $100,000. Excluding political, Salem’s broadcast revenue would have been up slightly. Total revenue for the company was $64.6 million. Salem owns 118 radio stations, 14 Christian and conservative websites, and a publishing division.
