SCHEDULE 13D
Explanatory Note
     The reporting persons are filing this Amendment No. 7 to Schedule 13D to make corrections to certain clerical errors in the information previously contained in Item 5 with respect to the holdings of certain of the filing persons to reflect shares of the Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class A Common Stock”), of Cumulus Media Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), that were withheld for federal and state income tax purposes upon the vesting of certain deferred share and restricted share awards during 2007.
Item 1. Security and Issuer
     This statement relates to the Class A Common Stock of the Company. The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 3280 Peachtree Road, N.W., Suite 2300, Atlanta, Georgia 30305.
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     Item 5(a) is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
     (a) For purposes of calculating the percentages set forth in this Item 5, (i) the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding is assumed to be 37,104,253, which represents 36,695,650 shares outstanding as reported by the Company on the cover of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007, plus 408,603 shares issued in accordance with the terms of the current employment agreement of Lewis W. Dickey, Jr. (which shares are net of shares withheld by the Company for federal and state income tax purposes), and (ii) the number of shares of the Company’s Class C Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Class C Common Stock”) is assumed to be 644,871, which is the number of shares of Class C Common Stock outstanding as reported by the Company on the cover of its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2007.
     Lewis W. Dickey, Jr.
     Lew Dickey, Jr. is deemed to beneficially own 5,515,363 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:
    2,011,052 shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned;
 
    options to purchase 1,348,750 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days;
 
    644,871 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis, directly owned;
 
    options to purchase 1,500,690 shares of Class C Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days; and

- 8 -


 

    10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by DBBC and deemed to be beneficially owned by Lew Dickey, Jr. in his capacity as manager of DBBC.
     Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options and the conversion of all of the shares of Class C Common Stock (including those shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options) into Class A Common Stock, Lew Dickey, Jr. would be deemed to beneficially own 5,515,363 shares, or 13.6% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
     John W. Dickey
     John Dickey is deemed to beneficially own 3,117,068 shares of Class A Common Stock as follows:
    1,750,506 shares of Class A Common Stock directly owned; and
 
    options to purchase 1,366,562 shares of Class A Common Stock, which are exercisable within 60 days.
     Assuming exercise of all of the foregoing options, John Dickey would be deemed to beneficially own 3,117,068 shares, or 8.1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock.
     Michael W. Dickey, David W. Dickey and Lewis W. Dickey, Sr.
     Michael Dickey, David Dickey and Lew Dickey Sr. are deemed to beneficially own 1,347,683 shares, or 3.6%, 1,254,352 shares, or 3.4%, and 884,000 shares, or 2.4%, of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, respectively.
     DBBC, L.L.C.
     DBBC is deemed to beneficially own 10,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, representing less than 1% of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. As manager of DBBC, Lew Dickey, Jr. has voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by DBBC.
     As a result of the arrangements expected to be set forth in the Interim Investor Agreement and various matters described in Item 4, the reporting persons and the Sponsor may collectively be deemed to constitute a “group,” within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Act. As a consequence, each reporting person and the Sponsor may be deemed to beneficially own all shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by each other reporting person and the Sponsor. To the knowledge of the reporting persons, the Sponsor beneficially owns 123,700 shares, or less than 1%, of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. Assuming exercise of all of the above-described options and the conversion of all of the shares of Class C Common Stock (including those shares of Class C Common Stock issuable upon exercise of options) into Class A Common Stock, the reporting persons and the Sponsor would collectively beneficially own, in the aggregate, 29.2% of the issued and outstanding Class A Common Stock. Other than as set forth in this Item 5, each reporting person hereby disclaims beneficial ownership of Class A Common Stock owned by any other reporting person or the Sponsor.

- 9 -


 

     Other than as set forth above with respect to Lew Dickey, Jr. and John Dickey, none of the shares of Class A Common Stock reported in this Item 5 are shares as to which any reporting person has a right to acquire that is exercisable within 60 days. None of the reporting persons nor, to the knowledge of the reporting persons, the Sponsor, beneficially owns any shares of Class A Common Stock other than as set forth herein.
