 Exhibit 10.15 
 EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION 
 2012 RETENTION PLAN AND TRUST AGREEMENT

 ARTICLE I 
 ESTABLISHMENT OF THE PLAN AND TRUST 
 1.01 EMMIS COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION (the
“Company”) hereby establishes the 2012 Retention Plan (the “Plan”) and Trust (the “Trust”) upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated in this 2012 Retention Plan and Trust Agreement (the “Agreement”).

 1.02 The Trustee hereby accepts this Trust and agrees to hold the Trust assets existing on the date of this Agreement and all
additions and accretions thereto upon the terms and conditions hereinafter stated. 
 ARTICLE II 

PURPOSE OF THE PLAN 
 The
purpose of the Plan is to retain personnel of experience and ability in positions by providing Employees with a proprietary interest in the Company and its Subsidiaries as compensation for their contributions to the Company and the Subsidiaries and
as an incentive to make such contributions in the future. Additionally, the Plan is intended to provide retention for Employees, in part due to prior reductions in base salaries, the lack of merit increases in base salaries for the current fiscal
year and the increase of Employees’ share of benefits costs. Each Grantee of an Award hereunder is advised to consult with his or her personal tax advisor with respect to the tax consequences under federal, state, local and other tax laws of
the receipt of an Award hereunder. Notwithstanding anything in this Plan to the contrary, it is the intention of Company that this Plan constitute a “Bonus Program” within the meaning of ERISA Regulation Section 2510.3-2(c) and
therefore is exempt from the requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, and the Committee and the Board are expressly authorized to make any amendment necessary to comply with this intent.

provisions of the Plan, as follows: (i) to select Grantees, (ii) to grant Awards, (iii) to determine when Awards may be granted, (iv) to interpret the Plan and to make all determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan, (v) to prescribe, amend, and rescind rules relating to the Plan, including rules with respect to the nonforfeitability of Awards upon the Termination of Employment of a Grantee, (vi) to determine the terms and
provisions of any written agreement by which an Award may be granted and, to modify any such Award at any time, with the consent of the Grantee when required, (vii) to accelerate the exercisability of, and to accelerate or waive any or all of
the restrictions and conditions applicable to, any Award, (viii) to make such adjustments or modifications to Awards to Grantees working outside the United States as are necessary and advisable to fulfill the purposes of the Plan, and
(ix) to impose such additional conditions, restrictions, and limitations upon the grant, or retention of Awards as the Committee may, before or concurrently with the grant thereof, deem appropriate. 

(c) Determinations of the Committee; No Liability. The determination of the Committee on all matters relating to the Plan or any
Award or Payout shall be conclusive and final. No member of the Committee shall be liable for any action or determination made in good faith with respect to the Plan or any Award. 
 4.02 Role of the Board. The members of the Committee and the Trustee shall be appointed or approved by, and will serve at the pleasure of, the Board. The Board may in its discretion from
time to time remove members from, or add members to, the Committee, and may remove or replace the Trustee, provided that any directors who are selected as members of the Committee shall be Non-Employee Directors. 

4.03 Limitation on Liability. No member of the Board or the Committee shall be liable for any determination made in good faith with respect
to the Plan or any Awards granted under it. If a member of the Board or the Committee is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or
investigative, by reason of anything done or not done by him in such capacity under or with respect to the Plan, the Company shall, subject to the requirements of applicable laws and regulations, indemnify such member against all liabilities and
expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably
believed to be in the best interests of the Company and any Subsidiaries and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful. In addition, the Company shall pay ongoing expenses
incurred by such member if a majority of disinterested directors concludes that such member may ultimately be entitled to indemnification, provided, however, that before making advance payment of expenses, the Company shall obtain an agreement that
the Company will be repaid if such member is later determined not to be entitled to such indemnification. 
 4.04 Compliance with Laws and
Regulations; Securities Laws. 
 (a) Compliance. All Awards granted hereunder shall be subject to all applicable federal and
state laws, rules and regulations and to such approvals by any government or regulatory agency or shareholders as may be required. The Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any certificates for shares of Stock prior to the completion of
any registration or qualification of or obtaining of consents or approvals with respect to such shares under any federal or state law or any rule or regulation of any government body, which the Company shall, in its sole discretion, determine to be
necessary or advisable.

 (b) Legend and Investment Representation. If the Committee deems necessary to comply with the
Securities Act of 1933, or any rules, regulations or other requirements of the SEC or any stock exchange or automated quotation system, the Committee may require a written investment intent representation by the Grantee and may require that a
restrictive legend be affixed to certificates for shares of Stock, or that the Stock be subject to such stock transfer orders and other restrictions as the Committee may deem necessary or advisable. 

(c) Postponement by Committee. If based upon the opinion of counsel for the Company, the Committee determines that the nonforfeitability of, or
delivery of benefits pursuant to, any Award would violate any applicable provision of (i) federal or state securities law or (ii) the listing requirements of any national securities exchange or the requirements of any automated quotation
system on which are listed or quoted any of the Company’s equity securities, then the Committee may postpone any such nonforfeitability or delivery, as the case may be, but the Company shall use reasonable and good faith efforts to cause such
nonforfeitability or delivery to comply with all such provisions at the earliest practicable date.

 (ii) Restrictions. Each Share Withholding
election by a Grantee shall be made in writing in a form acceptable to the Committee and shall be subject to the following restrictions: (i) a Grantee’s right to make such an election shall be subject to the Committee’s right to

the case may be, to agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of his distributed Payout except in accordance with all then applicable federal and state securities laws, and the Board or the Committee may cause a legend to be placed on the stock
certificate(s) representing the distributed Payout in order to restrict the transfer of the distributed Payout for such period of time or under such circumstances as the Board or the Committee, upon the advice of counsel, may deem appropriate. No

(granted under this Plan), and a new Award is substituted for the canceled Award, then the Committee may, in its discretion, determine the terms and conditions of the new Award; provided that (i) the new Award shall not contain any terms or
conditions that would cause the Award to constitute deferred compensation under Code Section 409A, and (ii) no Award shall be canceled without the consent of the Grantee if the terms and conditions of the new Award to be substituted are
not at least as favorable as the terms and conditions of the Award to be canceled. 
 9.02 Nature of Payments. Unless otherwise
determined by the Committee, any and all grants, or deliveries of shares of Stock hereunder, including the Payout, shall constitute special incentive payments to the Grantee and shall not be taken into account in computing the amount of salary or
compensation of the Grantee for the purposes of determining any pension, retirement, death or other benefits under (i) any pension, retirement, profit-sharing, bonus, life insurance or other employee benefit plan of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, or (ii) any agreement between the Company or any Subsidiary, on the one hand, and the Grantee, on the other hand, except as such plan or agreement shall otherwise expressly provide.

selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Awards (whether or not such persons are similarly situated). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Committee shall be entitled, among other things, to make
non-uniform and selective determinations and to enter into non-uniform and selective Awards as to (i) the identity of the Grantees, (ii) the terms and provisions of Awards, and (iii) the treatment upon Terminations of Employment for
Grantees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Committee’s interpretation of Plan provisions shall be uniform as to similarly situated Grantees. 
 9.04 Nonexclusivity of the Plan. Neither the adoption of the Plan by the Board, the submission of the Plan to the shareholders of the Company for approval, nor any provision of the Plan
shall be construed as creating any limitations on the power of the Board or the Committee to adopt such additional compensation arrangements as it may deem desirable, including the granting of stock options and bonuses otherwise than under the Plan,
and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases. 
 9.05 Adjustments. The Committee
may make equitable adjustment of all matters relating to the Plan and any Awards, including the type of securities or property, if any, to be paid in connection with any Award, all in such manner as may be determined by the Committee in its
discretion in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the rights of any Grantee pursuant to any Award under the Plan, to reflect a stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, share combination, recapitalization, reclassification, merger,
consolidation, asset spin-off, reorganization, or similar event of or by the Company. 
 9.06 Amendment and Termination of Plan.
The Board may, by resolution, at any time amend or terminate the Plan, subject to any required shareholder approval or any shareholder approval which the Board may deem to be advisable for any reason, such as for the purpose of obtaining or
retaining any statutory or regulatory benefits under tax, securities or other laws or satisfying any applicable stock exchange listing requirements. Termination of this Plan shall not affect Awards previously granted, and such Awards shall remain
valid and in effect until they have been fully earned or expire or are forfeited in accordance with their terms. 
 9.07 No Employment
Rights. Neither the establishment of the Plan, nor the granting of any Award or Payout shall be construed to (i) give any Grantee the right to remain employed by or affiliated with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or to any
benefits not specifically provided by the Award, or (ii) in any manner modify the right of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to modify, amend, or terminate this Plan or any of its employee benefit plans. No obligation of the Company or any
of its Subsidiaries as to the length of any Grantee’s employment by or affiliation with the Company or any Subsidiary shall be implied by the terms of the Plan, any grant of an Award hereunder or any Payout. The Company and its Subsidiaries

standards. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Grantee is solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on or in respect of such Grantee in connection with this Plan including any taxes and
penalties under Code Section 409A, and the Company shall not have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold such Grantee harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties
