Beasley Media Group has reported its 2025 fourth quarter and overall revenue, and the company saw an overall decline during the year.
For the total year, Beasley Media Group reported net revenue of $205.9 million. That marks a 14.3% year-over-year decrease. During the year’s fourth quarter, revenue decreased 21.1% compared to the same window in 2024. That number falls to 6.8% when political advertising is excluded.
Local revenue, including local digital packages, accounted for 72% of the company’s net revenue during the year. 13% of the company’s revenue came from new business.
Digital revenue accounted for 24% of the company’s net revenue during 2025, with the sector seeing a 5.9% increase compared to 2024.
Beasley Media Group saw an operating loss of $230 million during the fourth quarter. That was tied to an FCC license impairment charge.
For the year, the company’s Adjusted EBITDA was $10.5 million. At the conclusion of 2024, it was $25.8 million.
“2025 was a year of meaningful transformation for Beasley,” CEO Caroline Beasley said. “Against a persistently challenging advertising environment — marked by continued secular pressure on traditional audio and the ongoing contraction of agency-driven revenue channels — we made tangible progress reshaping this company for long-term value creation. Our digital business delivered record performance, with digital revenue representing approximately 24% of net revenue, up from roughly 19% of net revenue in 2024, and digital segment operating margins reached record levels as our continued shift toward owned-and-operated and programmatic products gained traction across our markets.”
“Operationally, we have fundamentally restructured the cost profile of this business,” continued Beasley. “Over the past 18 months, we have executed approximately $30 million in annualized cost reductions — permanent, structural changes that reflect a leaner and more focused organization built for today’s revenue environment.”
