By Sara Rosenberg

New York, Dec. 19 - Radio One Inc. amended its credit facility, extending the 102 call protection for six months to September 2014 and reducing the 101 soft call premium to six months from one year, according to an 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Wednesday.

In addition, the amendment revised the total leverage (see table 1), secured leverage (see table 2) and interest coverage ratios (see table 3). It also increased the amount of cash the company can net for determination of its net debt tests.

The amendment was completed on Dec. 19.

Credit Suisse AG is the administrative agent on the deal.

Radio One is a Lanham, Md.-based diversified media company.
