ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

     On January 23, 2000, Citadel Broadcasting entered into a stock purchase
agreement with Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. and its stockholders to
purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Bloomington
Broadcasting Holdings. Through its subsidiaries, Bloomington Broadcasting
Holdings owns and operates three FM radio stations and one AM radio station
serving the Grand Rapids, Michigan market; three FM radio stations and one AM
radio station serving the Columbia, South Carolina market; three FM radio
stations and one AM radio station serving the Chattanooga, Tennessee market; two
FM and two AM radio stations serving the Johnson City/Kingsport/Bristol,
Tennessee market; and two FM radio stations and one AM radio station serving the
Bloomington, Illinois market. Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings has also entered
into an agreement to purchase an additional AM radio station serving the Johnson
City/Kingsport/ Bristol, Tennessee market. If this transaction has not been
completed prior to completion of Citadel Broadcasting's acquisition of
Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Citadel Broadcasting will be assigned the
rights under the purchase agreement. The aggregate purchase price for the
transactions described is approximately $176.0 million in cash. This amount
includes repayment of indebtedness of Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings that may
be outstanding at the time of closing and a deferred obligation relating to a
recent radio station purchase by Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings. Certain
purchase price adjustments may also be made at closing. Citadel Broadcasting has
delivered an irrevocable letter of credit in favor of Bloomington Broadcasting
Holdings, issued by Credit Suisse First Boston, in the amount of $15.0 million
to secure Citadel Broadcasting's obligations under the stock purchase agreement.
Citadel Communications intends to operate these stations through Citadel
Broadcasting.

     The stock purchase agreement contains customary representations and
warranties of the parties, and completion of the acquisition of the stations is
subject to conditions including (1) the receipt of FCC consent to the transfer
of control of the station licenses to Citadel Broadcasting, (2) the expiration
or termination of the applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino
Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and (3) the receipt of consents
to the change of control under certain contracts to which Bloomington
Broadcasting Holdings or its subsidiaries are a party. An application seeking
FCC approval has not yet been filed with the FCC.

To the Board of Directors
Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc.
Bloomington, Illinois


We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Bloomington
Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the
related consolidated statement of income, stockholders' equity and cash flows
for the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Bloomington
Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1998, and the
results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

            BLOOMINGTON BROADCASTING HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



Note 1.     Nature of Business, Use of Estimates and Significant Accounting
            Policies

            Nature of business:

               The Company and its subsidiaries operate AM and FM radio stations
               in Bloomington-Normal, Illinois; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Johnson
               City-Kingsport, Tennessee and Bristol, Virginia; Holland-Grand
               Rapids, Michigan; and Columbia, South Carolina. A subsidiary
               company also operated a business known as Sign Pro in
               Bloomington, Illinois. Sign Pro sold customized banners and signs
               and represented less than one percent of consolidated gross
               revenue. Sign Pro was sold in April, 1998. The stations are
               subject to regulation by the Federal Communications Commission.
               The Company and its subsidiaries grant credit on terms that
               management establishes for individual accounts.

               The Companies operated under the following business names during
               1998:

                   Twin-Cities Broadcasting Corp.       WJBC (AM), WBNQ (FM),
                                                        WBWN (FM) and Sign Pro
                   Radio Chattanooga, Inc.              WGOW (AM), WSKZ (FM),
                                                        WGOW (FM) and WOGT (FM)
                   Tri-Cities Radio Corp.               WJCW (AM), WQUT (FM),
                                                        WKIN (AM) and WKOS (FM)
                   Michigan Media, Inc.                 WBBL (AM), WKLQ (FM) and
                                                        WLAV (FM)
                   Radio South Carolina, Inc.           WISW (AM), WTCB (FM) and
                                                        WOMG (FM)

            Use of estimates:

               The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
               generally accepted accounting principles requires management to
               make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts
               of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and
               liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
               reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting
               period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

            Significant accounting policies:

               Principles of consolidation:

                   All subsidiary companies are wholly-owned and are included in
                   the accompanying consolidated financial statements. All
                   material intercompany balances and transactions have been
                   eliminated in consolidation.

               Cash and cash equivalents:

                   For purposes of reporting cash flows, the Company considers
                   all highly liquid instruments with an original maturity of
                   three months or less to be cash equivalents.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



               Property and equipment:

                   Property and equipment are stated at cost. Major improvements
                   to existing property and equipment are capitalized.
                   Expenditures for maintenance and repairs which do not extend
                   the life of the applicable assets are charged to expense in
                   the period incurred.

                   Depreciation expense of property and equipment is computed
                   principally on the straight-line method over the following
                   estimated useful lives:

</TABLE>

                   It is the Company's policy to include amortization expense on
                   assets acquired under capital leases with depreciation
                   expense on owned assets.

                   When properties are retired or otherwise disposed of, the
                   asset and accumulated depreciation accounts are adjusted
                   accordingly. Any resulting gain or loss is reflected in
                   income in the period realized.

               Advertising:

                   The Company expenses the costs of advertising as incurred.
                   Total advertising and promotion expense for the year ended
                   December 31, 1998 was $1,321,167.

               Income taxes:

                   Deferred taxes are provided on a liability method whereby
                   deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary
                   differences and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards
                   and deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable
                   temporary differences. Temporary differences are the
                   differences between the reported amounts of assets and
                   liabilities and their tax bases. Deferred tax assets are
                   reduced by a valuation allowance when, in the opinion of
                   management, it is more likely than not that some portion or
                   all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Deferred
                   tax assets and liabilities are adjusted for the effects of
                   changes in tax laws and rates on the date of enactment.


               Stock option plan:

                   The Company has adopted SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for
                   Stock-Based Compensation," (SFAS No. 123) which permits
                   entities to recognize as expense over the vesting period the
                   fair value of all stock-based awards on the date of grant.
                   Alternatively, SFAS No. 123 also allows entities to continue
                   to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 "Accounting for
                   Stock Issued to Employees",  and provide pro forma net income
                   disclosures for employee stock option grants made in 1995 and
                   future years as if the fair-value based method defined in
                   SFAS No. 123 had been applied. The Company has elected to
                   continue to apply the provisions of APB Opinion No. 25 and
                   provide the pro forma disclosure provisions of SFAS No. 123.
                   There are no unexercised options outstanding as of December
                   31, 1998.

                   There was no stock-based compensation cost reflected in 1998
                   net income and there would likewise be none on a pro forma
                   basis.

Note 2.     Leveraged Buyout

            Effective on July 1, 1998, Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc.
            (formerly Bloomington Broadcasting Acquisition Corp.) purchased 100%
            of the stock of Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation. The
            transaction has been recorded in accordance with the "purchase
            method" of Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 16,
            Business Combinations, and guidance from the Emerging Issues Task
            Force (EITF) of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The
            stock purchase was financed through a combination of bank debt,
            stockholder debentures and issuance of preferred stock.

            These financial statements include the financial position and
            results of operations of Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc.,
            Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation, and all subsidiaries, for the
            calendar year 1998. Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. was
            formed in 1998 for the purpose of this acquisition and had no
            operations in 1998 other than its ownership of Bloomington
            Broadcasting Corporation.

            The acquisition cost of Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation was
            approximately $64,478,000.

            Amortization of goodwill and other intangible assets acquired in
            this transaction is computed on the straight-line basis over various
            periods from 15 years to 50 years.

            Following is pro forma financial information for 1998 assuming the
            leveraged buyout described above had occurred on January 1, 1998:

            The Credit Agreement with First Union National Bank (and other
            co-lenders), has several restrictive covenants. The Company must
            maintain a certain leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and

            can not, with some exceptions, incur any debt. There are also
            limitations on future mergers, liquidations or sales of assets.
            Also, the Company may not declare or pay any dividends on any of its
            capital stock, or purchase, redeem or retire any of its capital
            stock.

Note 5.     Deferred Compensation and Life Insurance

            In connection with an employment agreement, a provision has been
            made for future compensation which is payable to an employee or his
            heirs in annual payments of $10,000 per year for ten years
            commencing on January 1, 2002 if the employee remains employed by a
            subsidiary Company from January 1, 1992 through December 31, 2001.
            If employment is terminated by the subsidiary or the employee
            becomes permanently disabled, he is entitled to receive $10,000 for
            each full year of employment from January 1, 1992 through the date
            of termination. In the event of the death of the employee prior to
            December 31, 2001, a lump sum of $100,000 is to be paid to the
            employee's heirs. The present value of the estimated liability under
            this agreement is being accrued over the ten year period ending
            December 31, 2001. The amount accrued under this agreement and
            reflected as expense was $7,937 for the year ended December 31,
            1998.

            The subsidiary is the owner and beneficiary of a life insurance
            policy providing face coverage of $100,000 on the life of the above
            employee. This policy had a cash value of $44,374 at December 31,
            1998, and is available to fund the subsidiary's obligation under the
            deferred compensation agreement.

            Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation established certain
            non-qualified deferred compensation plans accompanied by rabbi
            trusts which are generally available to general managers, officers
            and other highly compensated employees of the parent company and its
            subsidiaries. Qualifying employees may elect to defer portions of
            their salaries which are then deposited into segregated trust
            accounts. The employees designate the trustees and direct the
            investment of the funds for their individual accounts. The amounts
            held in the trusts will at all times remain solely the property of
            the participating company and are subject to the claims of its
            general creditors.

            Upon termination of employment, participating employees are entitled
            to receive the value of the assets in the trust accounts established
            for their benefit. The plans also permit early withdrawals of the
            deferred compensation to the extent that a participant is subject to
            an unforeseeable emergency which would otherwise result in severe
            financial hardship.

            The total amount recorded as expense under these non-qualified
            deferred compensation plan was $175,982 for the year ended December
            31, 1998. The investments held in the rabbi trust accounts are
            carried at fair value as of December 31, 1998 as follows:

Note 6.     Capital Stock

            The outstanding preferred stock is Series A Convertible
            Participating Preferred Stock. The Shareholders Agreement, dated
            June 30, 1998, places certain restrictions on transfers of such
            shares. The Agreement also contains a "Call" provision, whereby,
            shares held by "Management Investors" are redeemable by the Company
            or the "Venture Investors." Each share of preferred stock is
            entitled to one vote, based on the current "common stock conversion
            rate." The holders of Series A Convertible Participating Preferred
            Stock are entitled to receive cumulative, compounding dividends of
            5% of the difference between the convertible base liquidation amount
            (presently $110 per share) and ten dollars, per share. The Series A
            Convertible Participating Preferred Stock has a liquidation
            preference over other shares of company stock. The liquidation price
            per share is the convertible base liquidation amount, presently
            $110, plus any accumulated but unpaid dividends.

            In the event of an "extraordinary transaction", if the holders of
            Series A Convertible Participating Preferred Stock have not
            converted their shares into Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock or
            common stock, then the Company shall redeem all the shares at the
            convertible base liquidation amount. Extraordinary transactions
            include a) mergers or consolidations, b) sale or transfer of all
            assets, c) a purchase of the company, d) redemption of a majority of
            shares, or e) a public offering.

            The authorized number of shares of preferred stock is 1,700,000, of
            which 300,000 shares are designated as Series A Convertible
            Participating Preferred Stock (par value $.01 per share), 400,000
            shares are designated as Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock (par
            value $.01 per share), and 1,000,000 shares are undesignated. As of
            December 31, 1998 there were no issued or outstanding shares of
            Series B Redeemable Preferred Stock.

            The authorized number of shares of common stock is 300,000, at par
            value of $.01 per share. Holders of common stock are entitled to one
            vote for each share held, and vote together with the holders of the
            convertible preferred stock as a single class. Holders of common
            stock are entitled to dividends only after all preferential
            preferred stock dividends have been paid. If additional dividends
            are declared, the holders of common stock will share in such
            dividends with the convertible preferred stockholders as a single
            class of equal shareholders.

            As described in Note 2 to these financial statements, effective July
            1, 1998 all preferred stock, Class A common stock and Class B common
            stock of Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation was acquired by
            Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. All previous shares acquired
            were cancelled, and a new common stock certificate was issued by
            Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation for 100 shares ($.01 par value
            per share), representing 100% ownership by Bloomington Broadcasting
            Holdings, Inc.

            As of December 31, 1998, the aggregate preferred stock dividends
            accumulated, not declared or paid was $274,725, representing a $5
            per share dividend for one-half year.


Note 7.     Income Tax Matters

            The Company reports its income as the parent company of a
            consolidated federal income tax return which includes the operations
            of the following subsidiaries:

                              Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation
                              Twin-Cities Broadcasting Corp.
                              Radio Chattanooga, Inc.
                              Tri-Cities Radio Corp.
                              Michigan Media, Inc.
                              Radio South Carolina, Inc.

            The members of the consolidated group have elected to allocate
            income taxes among the members of the group by an agreement executed
            on January 1, 1986, under which each company records a consolidated
            return tax benefit or cost based upon its current taxable income or
            loss and governed by any tax elections made for the consolidated
            return and the tax rate effective for the consolidated group. This
            benefit or cost is due from or to the parent company, respectively.
            These allocations are reflected on the balance sheet as consolidated
            return tax benefit or liability. A similar approach is used for the
            allocation of deferred income taxes.

Note 8.     Leases

            The Company and its subsidiaries rent vehicles, office equipment,
            studio space, office space and an AM tower under various operating
            leases. These leases expire between December 1999 and December 2013.
            Generally, the Company and its subsidiaries are required to carry
            liability and property damage insurance, to pay some common area
            charges, real estate taxes, and to maintain the properties.

            Two subsidiaries also lease land where transmitter towers and
            buildings are located. The first lease (WTCB) expires in December
            2026 and the second lease (WBWN) expires in May 2047. The
            subsidiaries are required to pay all utilities, property taxes and
            other expenses incidental to the maintenance and operation of the
            transmitter building and equipment. The subsidiaries are also
            required to carry liability and property damage insurance. No rental
            payments are due on this first lease. Instead, the subsidiary must
            offer space on the tower to the lessor for the lessor's
            communication antennae. Rental payments of $150 per month are due on
            the second lease.

            The total minimum rental commitments under the operating leases
            described above are due as follows:

            Total rent expense under operating leases was $233,767 for the year
            ended December 31, 1998.

            A subsidiary company has also entered into an agreement to acquire a
            telephone system through a capitalized lease agreement. The terms of
            the lease require monthly payments of $534 through November 1999.

Note 9.     Employees' Profit-Sharing Plan

            The Company and its subsidiaries have an employees' profit-sharing
            plan covering substantially all employees to which both the employer
            and eligible employees contribute. The Company's discretionary
            contribution for 1998 was 3.0% of net operating earnings, as
            defined, before depreciation and amortization. Amounts in excess of
            this amount may be contributed at the discretion of the Board of
            Directors, but are not to exceed the maximum amount deductible for
            federal income tax purposes. The Company is also required to make
            matching contributions equal to 1% of the compensation of employees
            who contribute to the plan through salary deferral elections. The
            annual discretionary contribution to the plan for the year ended
            December 31, 1998 was $220,462. The total matching contribution was
            $71,476 for the year ended December 31, 1998.


Note 10.    Concentrations of Credit Risk Arising from Cash Deposits in Excess
            of Insured Limits

            The parent and subsidiary companies maintain cash balances at
            financial institutions in Bloomington, Illinois; Chattanooga,
            Tennessee; Knoxville, Tennessee; Grand Rapids, Michigan; and West
            Columbia, South Carolina. Accounts at these institutions are insured
            by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to aggregate
            balances of $100,000 per Company. At December 31, 1998, the
            Company's uninsured cash balances totalled $937,791, including
            $359,256 held in repurchase agreements which are collateralized by
            U.S. Government agency securities held by the bank. This uninsured
            total does not reflect deductions for outstanding checks not yet
            presented to the banks for payment or transfers to affiliated
            companies on the following business day.


Note 11.    Non-competition Agreements

            A subsidiary acquired certain assets of Sattler Broadcasting, Inc.
            (radio station WOGT) in 1993. In connection with this purchase a
            non-competition agreement was obtained from Virginia Sattler, the
            sole shareholder of Sattler Broadcasting, Inc. The terms of this
            agreement, which expired in 1998, required the Company to pay Ms.
            Sattler $66,667 in 1998.

            Effective May 1, 1996, Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation acquired
            certain assets of McLean County Broadcasters, Inc. related to radio
            station WBWN-FM, licensed to Leroy, Illinois. The asset purchase
            agreement also provided for a five-year non-competition agreement
            with the sellers for $25,000. In addition, the Company entered into
            a consulting agreement, which includes a non-compete provision, with
            an employee of WBWN. The consulting agreement provides for payments
            by the Company of $25,000 per year for a ten year period.

            Effective November 15, 1996, Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation
            acquired certain assets of Pye Broadcasting , Inc. from Chattanooga
            Regional Interconnect, Inc. A consulting agreement executed as a
            part of this purchase required monthly payments of $10,000 through
            November 1997.

Note 12.    Financial Instruments

            The Company has entered into Interest Rate Swap agreements with
            First Union National Bank relative to the Term A and Term B portions
            of the borrowing from First Union National Bank as described in Note
            4 to these financial statements.

            The current notional amount is $15,000,000 of the Term A notes and
            $20,000,000 of the Term B notes.

            The nature and terms of the interest rate swaps are as follows:

</TABLE>

            The interest rate swap agreements, in effect, create fixed rate
            loans for much of the total borrowed from First Union National Bank.
            The instruments' market risk is that fluctuations in interest rates
            may make the swaps less valuable. The agreements are held for
            non-trading purposes. The Company's objective for holding the
            interest rate swaps is to hedge the risk of rising interest rates on
            its long-term financing.

            The Company is required to pay interest monthly on the Term A and
            Term B notes and the swap agreements, and the gain or loss resulting
            from the interest rate swap agreements is then recorded as a
            corresponding increase or decrease to interest expense on the
            underlying debt.


Note 13.    Stock Option Plan

            The Company has established the Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings,
            Inc. 1998 Stock Option and Grant Plan (the "Plan"). The purpose of
            the Plan is to encourage and enable the officers, employees,
            directors, consultants, advisors and other key persons of the
            Company to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The
            maximum number of shares of stock reserved and available for
            issuance under the Plan is 12,210 shares of common stock. During
            1998, 11,477.40 shares of common stock were purchased under
            Restricted Stock Purchase Agreements pursuant to the Plan. The price
            paid for the shares issued during 1998 was $1.00 per share. There
            are no unexercised options outstanding as of December 31, 1998.


Note 14.    Commitment

            On February 15, 1999, Radio South Carolina, Inc. had reached an
            agreement to acquire substantially all of the operating assets and
            the license of radio station WLXC-FM at a cost of $3,200,000. The
            Company intends to finance this acquisition through the Revolving
            Credit Commitment with First Union National Bank. The closing is
            scheduled for July 1, 1999. The Company has been operating the
            station since March 1, 1999 under a Lease Management Agreement.

         guidance from the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) of the Financial
         Accounting Standards Board (FASB). The stock purchase was financed

         of preferred stock.

         These financial statements include the financial position of
         Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc., Bloomington Broadcasting
         Corporation, and all subsidiaries, as of September 30, 1999.

         than its ownership of Bloomington Broadcasting Corporation.

         approximately $64,478,000 of which $61,661,396 was paid in cash.

         transaction is computed on the straight-line basis over various periods
         from 15 years to 50 years.

         The accompanying reviewed condensed consolidated financial statements
         of Bloomington Broadcasting Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries have

         In July 1999, Michigan Media, Inc. agreed to acquire certain radio
         station and broadcast assets for $7.5 million. The transaction closed

         purchase method of accounting.

Note 6.  Subsequent Event

         $400,000 of costs pertaining to a failed initial public offering. These
         costs were charged to expense in December 1999.

         On January 23, 2000, the stockholders of the Company entered into a

     The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are
based on Citadel Broadcasting's historical consolidated financial statements,
the financial statements of those entities acquired, or from which assets were
acquired, in connection with the Completed Transactions, and the financial
statements of those entities to be acquired, or from which assets will be
acquired, in connection with the Pending Acquisitions.

     In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to fairly present
this pro forma information have been made. The interest rate applied to
borrowings under, and repayments of, Citadel Broadcasting's credit facility in
the pro forma consolidated statements of operations was 8.4375%, which
represents the interest rate in effect under the then existing credit facility
as of January 1, 1998. Pro forma financial information has been adjusted to
reflect the following, when applicable:

o    Prior to the acquisition dates, Citadel Broadcasting operated some of the
     acquired stations under a joint sales agreement ("JSA") or local marketing
     agreement ("LMA"). Citadel Broadcasting receives or pays fees for such
     services accordingly. Net revenue and station operating expenses for
     stations operated under JSAs are included to reflect ownership of the
     stations as of January 1, 1998. Net revenue and station operating expenses
     for stations operated under LMAs are included in Citadel Broadcasting's
     historical consolidated financial statements. For those stations operated
     under JSAs and LMAs and subsequently acquired, associated fees and
     redundant expenses were eliminated and estimated occupancy costs were
     included to adjust the results of the operations to reflect ownership of
     the stations as of January 1, 1998.

o    Elimination of revenue and operating expenses from the entities acquired,
     or from which assets were acquired, in connection with the Completed
     Transactions, and the entities to be acquired, or from which assets will be
     acquired, in connection with the Pending Acquisitions, which would not have
     been incurred if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 1998. The
     eliminated items were deemed redundant and therefore are not reflected as
     of January 1, 1998.

     Depreciation and amortization for the acquisitions are based upon
preliminary allocations of the purchase price to property and equipment and
intangible assets. Actual depreciation and amortization may differ depending on
the final allocation of the purchase price. However, management does not believe
these differences will be material.

     For pro forma purposes, Citadel Broadcasting's balance sheet as of
September 30, 1999 has been adjusted to give effect to the following
transactions as if each had occurred on September 30, 1999:

     (1) the Marathon Disposition,

     (2) the acquisition of KOOJ-FM,

     (3) the Oklahoma City Acquisition, and

<PAGE>   36


     (3) the Pending Acquisitions.

     The unaudited pro forma information is presented for illustrative purposes
only and does not indicate the operating results or financial position that
would have occurred if the transactions described above had been completed on
the dates indicated, nor is it indicative of future operating results or
financial position if the pending transactions described above are completed.
Citadel Broadcasting cannot predict whether the completion of the Pending
Acquisitions will conform to the assumptions used in the preparation of the
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally,
completion of each of the Pending Acquisitions is subject to certain conditions.
Although Citadel Broadcasting believes these closing conditions are generally
customary for transactions of this type, there can be no assurance that such
conditions will be satisfied.

(a) Citadel Broadcasting may sell one or more of its stations serving
    Saginaw/Bay City in connection with this acquisition. However, Citadel
    Broadcasting is unable to include the effect of the divestiture in this
    pro forma financial information until it determines the station or stations
    it may sell.

(b) The current owner of WWFX-FM purchased the station in January 1999. Citadel
    Broadcasting is unable to provide operating results for the year ended
    December 31, 1998 as the information is not currently available. In the
    opinion of management, the 1998 operations are not significant to the pro
    forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.
