Net revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $233.9 million, up 36% from $171.7 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $72.6 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to advertising revenue resulting from our acquisition of a majority interest in Cisneros Interactive during the fourth quarter of 2020, which became wholly-owned during the third quarter of 2021, and due to advertising revenue resulting from our acquisitions of MediaDonuts and 365 Digital during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively. The overall increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $10.4 million that was attributable to our television and audio segments primarily due to decreases in political advertising revenue, partially offset by increases in local and national advertising revenue.

Cost of revenue in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $148.4 million compared to $85.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to increased costs of revenue following our acquisition of a majority interest in Cisneros Interactive during the fourth quarter of 2020, which became wholly-owned during the third quarter of 2021, and due to our acquisitions of MediaDonuts and 365 Digital during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively.

Operating expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $48.1 million, up 5% from $45.9 million in the prior-year period. Of the overall increase, approximately $3.3 million was attributable to our digital segment and was primarily due to our acquisition of a majority interest in Cisneros Interactive during the fourth quarter of 2020, which became wholly-owned during the third quarter of 2021, and due to operating expenses resulting from our acquisitions of MediaDonuts and 365 Digital during the third and fourth quarters of 2021, respectively. The overall increase was partially offset by decreases in our television and audio segments primarily due to a decrease in expenses associated with the decrease in advertising revenue, and decreases in bad debt and salary expense associated with furloughs and layoffs that occurred in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Corporate expenses in the fourth quarter of 2021 totaled $11.2 million, up 21% from $9.3 million in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to an increase in non-cash stock-based compensation expense.
