Item 5. Other Events.
On June 24, 2004, Arbitron Inc. acknowledged that Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, a division of Viacom Inc., had issued a press release stating that Infinity had elected not to renew its agreements with Arbitron for radio ratings and other services effective with the release of the Spring 2004 survey.
Taking into account the non-renewal by Infinity Broadcasting to Arbitron ratings and other services as current agreements expire, Arbitron expects that its 2004 revenues will be approximately $11.7 million lower than previously anticipated.
The non-renewal does not affect second quarter revenues.
