Television
Revenue from television for the second quarter increased 12.8% to $46.9 million. Retransmission revenue of $9.8 million grew 80.7%. Television political advertising revenue was $1.5 million compared to $0.2 million. Local advertising revenue, excluding political, decreased 0.7%. Digital revenue, which is reported in local revenue, was $1.1 million, up 24.9%. National advertising revenue, excluding political, decreased 2.0%, primarily due to a decrease in the media advertising category. Total revenue, excluding political and retransmission revenue was $35.6 million, down 0.9%.
Operating earnings from television were $12.7 million, an increase of 52.0%. Television operating expenses increased 2.9%, or 5.3% excluding $0.7 million in acquisition costs in 2013, primarily due to increased network fees.
Radio
For the second quarter, revenue from radio increased 1.6% to $20.2 million. Radio political advertising revenue was $0.1 million in each of 2014 and 2013. Local advertising revenue, excluding political, increased 2.3%, primarily due to an increase in home products and automotive advertising. Digital revenue, which is reported in local revenue, was $0.8 million, up 14.1%. National advertising revenue, excluding political, decreased 6.3%, primarily due to a lower automotive and restaurant advertising. Excluding political revenue, total revenue was $20.1 million, up 1.5%.
Operating earnings from radio were $4.1 million compared to $3.8 million, an increase of 6.2%. Radio operating expenses increased 0.5%.
Publishing
For the second quarter, publishing revenue decreased 2.0% to $37.6 million. Retail advertising revenue decreased 1.8% driven by the loss of a large retailer in the market and lower department store spending. Classified advertising revenue decreased 6.5% driven by a decrease in real estate and employment advertising. Digital advertising revenue of $3.5 million increased 5.1%, primarily due to an increase in sponsorship revenue that offset classified employment revenue declines. Circulation revenue of $11.9 million was down 2.6% on lower volumes that off-set price increases. Other revenue of $5.5 million increased 3.9% driven by higher commercial delivery volumes.
Operating earnings from publishing were $2.6 million, a decrease of 14.1%. Total publishing expenses were $35.0 million, down 0.9%, or down 0.7% excluding workforce reduction charges of $0.6 million and $0.7 million in 2014 and 2013, respectively. Total newsprint and paper expense of $3.7 million decreased 4.6% on lower printing volumes and paper costs.
Corporate
The operating loss for the second quarter was $2.0 million compared to $2.3 million.
Non-Operating Items
For the second quarter, other expense, which primarily consists of interest expense, was $1.6 million compared to $2.1 million, reflecting lower average borrowings for the quarter.
The second quarter effective tax rate was 34.1% compared to 40.3%. The lower 2014 effective tax rate was driven by the successful settlement this quarter of state tax refund claims totaling $1.4 million, or $0.9 million after federal taxes.
Notes Payable to Banks and Cash Flows
At the end of the second quarter, total debt was $157.7 million of which $144.4 million was drawn on our senior secured credit facilities and an additional $13.3 million was outstanding in the form of unsecured subordinated notes payable to the former holders of our class C shares. Year-to-date through the second quarter, we reduced our total debt by $50.6 million as compared to the 2013 year-end. Our consolidated funded debt ratio, as defined in our credit agreement, was 1.86-to-1. Year-to-date cash from operating activities was $37.6 million compared to $24.4 million due to increased cash from working capital and higher net earnings. Year-to-date capital expenditures were $4.0 million compared to $5.5 million.
Third Quarter 2014 Outlook
In the third quarter of 2014, excluding political revenue, we expect total television revenue to be up in the low to mid-teens as compared to the third quarter of 2013. In radio, excluding political revenue, we expect revenue increases in the low-single digits as compared to the third quarter of 2013. In publishing, we anticipate revenue declines in the low-single digits as compared to the third quarter of 2013.

| We define EBITDA as net earnings excluding earnings from discontinued operations, net, provision for income taxes, total other expense (which is comprised of interest income and expense), depreciation, and amortization; and we define Adjusted EBITDA as EBITDA excluding non-cash impairment charges, transaction and integration-related costs, and workforce reduction charges. Our management uses EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, among other things, to evaluate our operating performance, and to value prospective acquisitions. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA are not measures of performance calculated in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA should not be considered in isolation of, or as substitutes for, net earnings as indicators of operating performance or cash flows from operating activities as measures of liquidity. EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA, as we calculate them, may not be comparable to EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA reported by other companies. | ||||||||||
