DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

This Post-Effective Amendment (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) is being filed by Spanish Broadcasting System, Inc. (the “Registrant”), to withdraw and remove from registration all shares of the Registrant’s Class A common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), which remain unissued and unsold under Registration Statement No. 333-144286 on Form S-8, registering the offer and sale of 3,500,000 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Registrant’s 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

The 2006 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan expired on July 17, 2016 and no further share-based awards can be granted under this plan.

The Registrant intends to file a Form 15 to terminate registration under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and its duty to file reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

As a result, the Registrant has terminated any and all offerings of its securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Registrant in Part II of the Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any securities that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold at the termination of the offering, removes from registration any and all securities of the Registrant registered but unsold under the Registration Statement as of the termination of the offering.
