Price continued, “This was an exciting quarter for Townsquare as we completed the acquisition of NAME, the largest provider of rides, games and food concessions in North America. NAME fits squarely within our core stated strategy of providing affordable, family-friendly entertainment content. We see many benefits of a combined company, including leveraging our radio and digital assets to drive awareness and attendance to NAME’s fairs.
