1. 845-920Entertainment—Broadcasters845 Nonmonetary Transactions

   ASC 845-920 formerly provided nonmonetary-transaction guidance for broadcasters, principally barter transactions in which broadcasters exchanged advertising time for goods, services, or program material. Every substantive paragraph in the subtopic (Sections 05, 15, 25, and 30) was superseded by ASU 2014-09 (the revenue standard). As a result, the subtopic contains no remaining guidance, and barter/nonmonetary exchanges involving broadcasters are now analyzed under ASC 606 (with noncash consideration measured at fair value) and the general nonmonetary guidance in ASC 845-10.
