Type in "Delisting Stock" in Google to get more information than you'll ever need to know.
Basically, it means that Radio One's stock on the NASDAQ Stock Exchange has traded below $1 a share for 30 consecutive days. Because of the cost of application and getting into the exclusive "clubs" of the NASDAQ or New York Stock Exchange, there are certain "minimum standards" to be met to keep the stock active in the exchange ... and a minimum share cost is one of them.
It doesn't look good to the exchange or other companies when stock prices tumble into penny-stock range. It also causes havoc among stockholders who frequently invested huge sums of money in a certain company, only to see its stock go south and below the minimums allowed by the stock exchange.
The delisting warning is to advice the company in question that it must bring it's stock price up for it to continue being listed among the exclusive stocks of the exchange.
It is not a good sign when corporate stockholders, banks and other institutions turn to their exchange of choice and find that their stock has been delisted. It gives it reason to question the value of a company, its assets, management and direction ... and can lead to a run on the stock to where the price is virtually worthless (hence, below $1 a share,) and that assets may need to be sold off to protect the companies very survival, while the shareholders take a bath in their investment, leading to difficulties in raising further investment for stock to allow growth of a company.
With radio stocks on the downside, there are several on the brink of delisting which tends to bring the investment forecast extrememely short term and without future opportunity, given that so many investors and share holders see a delisting as a sign of financial instability and corporate trouble for survival.

Very well put. But the thing that pi$$es me off, is that I read that Alfred Liggins and Cathy Hughes are making
over a million dollars each. WTF is with that ?
Take care of the investers thats helping your company grow.
Alfred and Cathy, Stop eating steak and lobster every night. And start going down to your favorite Costco or
Sams Club and buy some top ramem noodles by the pallets so you can satisfy your inversters.

After reading and viewing my share of interviews with Liggins and Hughes, I wouldn't buy a used car from either of them.
The funny thing is that Radio One started out with a good idea, and was a successful, growing company for quite a while. And then, they took the company public -- which has been the downfall of too many good companies (radio and otherwise) to list. There's something about the influx of "free cash" that turns otherwise sane people into raving spendthrifts... And then there's the pressure to "satisfy the stockholders." US investors are no longer happy to have decent, steady income from their stocks; they've been conditioned to expect constant growth each and every year. And as any 1st-year economics student will tell you, constant growth is unsustainable. So the company principals start doing amazingly stupid stuff just to pump the stock price up, which usually erodes the operating capabilities of the company - accomplishing exactly the opposite of what they wanted to do.
After the last time, I promised myself I'd never work for a public company again. I haven't, and my life has been much more peaceful.
