ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

(a)  Financial Statements of Businesses to be Acquired:

An audited combined statement of assets acquired and an audited combined
statement of revenues and direct operating expenses for radio stations KCMO-AM,
KCMO-FM and KCFX-FM (the "Stations") as of and for the year ended December 31,
1999 are being filed in lieu of full historical financial statements required by
Rule 3-05 of Regulation S-X.

Unaudited combined statements of revenues and direct operating expenses for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 and June 30, 2000 and 1999 and the
six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 are being filed herewith in lieu of full
historical financial statements.

It was impracticable to prepare full financial statements for the Stations
acquired because they were not separate business units. The financial statements
presented are not indicative of the financial condition or results of operation
of the Stations going forward due to the changes in the business and the
omission of various expenses.

                        Report of Independent Accountants


To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Susquehanna Media Co. and subsidiaries:


We have audited the accompanying combined statement of assets acquired as of
December 31, 1999 and the related combined statement of revenue and direct
operating expenses of KCMO-AM, KCMO-FM and KCFX-FM (collectively the Stations)
for the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Stations' management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined
statement of assets acquired and the related combined statement of revenues and
direct operating expenses 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.

The accompanying combined financial statements reflect the assets acquired and
the revenues and direct operating expenses attributable to the Stations as
described in Note 1 and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the
assets or revenues and expenses of the Stations.

In our opinion, the combined statement of assets acquired and the related
combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses present fairly, in
all material respects, the assets acquired as described in Note 1 as of December
31, 1999 and the revenues and direct operating expenses as described in Note 1
for the year ended December 31, 1999 in conformity with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States of America.

                   NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------


1.  Organization and Basis of Presentation
    --------------------------------------

     The accompanying combined financial statements include certain assets,
     revenues and direct expenses of KCMO-AM, KCMO-FM and KCFX-FM, (collectively
     the "Stations").

     On July 20, 2000, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between
     Susquehanna Media Co. (Media), as Purchaser, and Entercom Communications
     Corp., Entercom Kansas City, LLC and Entercom Kansas City License, LLC, as
     Sellers, Media acquired, in consideration of the payment of $113,150,000,
     certain assets of Kansas City radio stations KCMO-AM, KCMO-FM and KCFX-FM.
     Radio broadcast rights for the Kansas City Chiefs National Football League
     franchise through the 2002 football season were included in the purchase.
     No liabilities were assumed by Media in the transaction. The Sellers'
     historical financial statements included an intangible asset and equal
     liability related to the radio broadcast rights. The combined statement of
     assets acquired includes neither the asset nor the liability. The 1999
     radio broadcast rights payment (Note 3) has been shown as a direct
     programming expense in the combined statement of revenues and direct
     operating expenses. The historical financial statements included the
     expense in amortization. The accompanying financial statements do not
     reflect any adjustments relating to this transaction.

     The accompanying combined statement of assets acquired and combined
     statement of revenues and direct operating expenses have been prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and were derived
     from the historical accounting records of the previous owners. Significant
     intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in combination.

     In Media's opinion, it was impracticable to obtain full financial
     statements for the Stations because they were not separate business units,
     certain expenses were not historically allocated and separate balance
     sheets were not prepared for the Stations. The financial statements
     presented are not indicative of the financial condition or results of
     operations of the Stations going forward due to the changes in operations
     resulting from the acquisition and the omission of various operating
     expenses. Information concerning the Stations' operating, investing and
     financing cash flows was not available.

     The combined statement of assets acquired includes only assets subsequently
     acquired by Media on July 20, 2000.

     The combined statement of revenues and direct operating expenses includes
     the revenues and expenses directly attributable to the Stations. The
     statement does not include depreciation and amortization expense, corporate
     general and administrative costs, interest expense or income taxes.

                   NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------


 2.  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost less
     accumulated depreciation. Repairs and maintenance costs are charged to
     expense when incurred.

     Broadcast Licenses - Broadcast licenses are stated at cost less accumulated
     amortization.

     Revenue Recognition - Revenue arises primarily from the sale of commercial
     announcements to local and national advertisers. Revenue is recognized as
     commercials are broadcast.

     Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties - 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 the reported
     amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from those
     estimates.

     Unaudited Interim Financial Information - In the opinion of the Sellers,
     the unaudited interim combined statements of revenues and direct operating
     expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, and the three
     and six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999, reflect all adjustments,
     consisting of only normal and recurring items, which are necessary for a
     fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented.
     Financial information for the interim periods are not necessarily
     indicative of results to be expected for any other interim periods or for
     the full year.


3.   Radio Broadcast Rights
     ----------------------

     Included in the purchase of KCFX-FM, were radio broadcast rights for the
     Kansas City Chiefs National Football League franchise (Chiefs). Under terms
     of a Radio Broadcast Agreement, the station has the right to broadcast
     Chief's games through the 2002 football season. A $1,750,000 fee was paid
     in 1999 for the 1999 football season. Fees for the 2000, 2001 and 2002

(b)  Pro Forma Financial Information:

Unaudited pro forma condensed and consolidated balance sheet of Susquehanna
Media Co. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 1999 with accompanying notes.

On July 20, 2000, pursuant to an Asset Purchase Agreement between Susquehanna
Media Co. (Media), as Purchaser, and Entercom Communications Corp., Entercom
Kansas City, LLC and Entercom Kansas City License, LLC as Sellers, Media
acquired, in consideration of the payment of $113,150,000, certain assets of
Kansas City radio stations KCMO-AM, KCMO-FM and KCFX-FM (the "Stations"). Radio
broadcast rights for the Kansas City Chiefs National Football League franchise
through the 2002 football season were included in the purchase. No liabilities
were assumed by Media in the transaction.

In Media's opinion, it was impracticable to obtain full financial statements
for the Stations acquired because they were not separate business units,
certain expenses were not historically allocated and separate balance sheets
were not prepared for the Stations.

The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial information set forth below for
Media gives effect to the acquisition of the Stations as if it had been
completed on December 31, 1999 for purposes of the condensed consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1999. This financial information is based on
the historical consolidated balance sheets of Media and the acquired Stations
giving effect of the acquisition using the purchase method of accounting for
business combinations.

A pro forma condensed and consolidated statement of operations has not been
provided since the use of forward-looking information is necessary to
meaningfully present the effects of the acquisition.

Information concerning the Stations' operating, investing and financing cash
flows was not available.

This pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the
historical consolidated financial statements of Media and the respective notes
thereto.

This pro forma financial information should also be read in conjunction with the
financial statements of the Stations and the accompanying notes thereto.

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the
financial position that would have occurred had the acquisition been consummated
on the date for which such transaction has been given effect.
