Other Intangible Assets Not Subject to Amortization

Other intangible assets not subject to amortization, not separately disclosed, are tradenames ($931听million) at December听31, 2018 and 2017 and franchise rights owned by Braves Holdings ($143听million) as of December听31, 2018 and 2017. We identified these assets as indefinite life intangible assets after considering the expected use of the assets, the regulatory and economic environment within which they are used and the effects of obsolescence on their use. SIRIUS听XM鈥檚 Federal Communications Commission (鈥淔CC鈥) licenses are currently scheduled to expire in 2021, 2022 and 2028. Prior to expiration, SIRIUS听XM is required to apply for a renewal of its FCC licenses. The renewal and extension of its licenses is reasonably certain at minimal cost, which is expensed as incurred. Each of the FCC licenses authorizes SIRIUS听XM to use the broadcast spectrum, which is a renewable, reusable resource that does not deplete or exhaust over time.
