                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



NOTE 1.  BASIS OF PREPARATION

The interim financial statements are unaudited but, in the opinion of
management, reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of results for such periods.  The results of operations for any
interim period are not necessarily indicative of anticipated results for the
full year.  These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.


NOTE 2.  INCOME TAXES

The Company has no significant federal income tax liabilities primarily as a
result of operating losses incurred in prior years.  However, the Company will
continue to pay federal income taxes under the alternative minimum tax until the
operating loss carryforwards are substantially reduced.  The Company will incur
state income tax expense in certain states in which it operates.  Tax expense in
the current quarter and year-to-date includes $674,000 related to a pending
settlement of certain prior year state tax returns.

ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


OVERVIEW

The Company reported record net income of $4.1 million for the first six months
of 1995.  Net revenues for the six months increased over the same period last
year by $14.9 million or 16.3%, while the Company's Operating Cash Flow, as
defined below, increased $4.5 million or 24.1%.  Net income reflected a $0.3
million or 6.9% improvement over last year's first six months.

As with many media companies that have grown through acquisitions, the Company's
acquisitions and dispositions of television and radio stations have resulted in
significant non-cash and non-recurring charges to income.  For this reason, in
addition to net income, management believes that Operating Cash Flow (defined as
net revenue less operating expenses plus other income before amortization,
depreciation, interest expense and disposition of assets) is an appropriate
measure of the Company's financial performance.  This measure excludes expenses
consisting of depreciation, amortization, interest and disposition of assets
because these are not considered by the Company to be costs of ongoing
operations.  The Company uses Operating Cash Flow to pay interest and principal
on its long-term debt as well as to finance capital expenditures. Operating Cash
Flow, however, is not to be considered an alternative to net income as an
indicator of the Company's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure
of the Company's liquidity.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS STATEMENT

The following two tables set forth certain historical financial and operating
data of the Company for the three month and six month periods ended June 30,
1995 and June 30, 1994, respectively, including separate net revenue, operating
expenses and other income, and Operating Cash Flow information by segment.  In
1995, the Company re-apportioned some of its operations among its business
segments.  Prior years' data have been reclassified to conform with the current
apportionment method.

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

NET REVENUE.  Net revenue for the quarter ended June 30, 1995, increased $6.2
million or 14.4% to $49.4 million from $43.2 million in 1994.  The Company's
out-of-home media segment's net revenue increased $2.8 million or 12.9% mainly
due to increased national advertising sales.  The Company's broadcasting segment
showed an increase of $3.4 million or 19.3% due to the addition of radio station
KUBE(FM) and increased rates and sales volume.  For the second quarter 1995, the
Company's other businesses segment achieved approximately the same level of net
revenue as in the second quarter 1994.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND OTHER INCOME.  Operating expenses and other income
increased $3.4 million or 10.5% to $35.5 million in 1995 compared to $32.1
million in 1994.  In the Company's out-of-home media segment, operating expenses
and other income increased slightly by $0.6 million or 4.4% to $15.0 million
from a combination of expenses related to increased sales and from the effects
of inflation on operating expenses.  Operating expenses and other income in the
Company's broadcasting segment increased by $1.0 million or 8.1% to $12.8
million mostly due to the addition of KUBE(FM) and higher programming,
promotion, and production expenses. Operating expenses and other income from the
Company's other segment increased $1.8 million or 30.6% to $7.6 million mainly
from basketball operating expenses related to players' salaries and
transportation costs.

OPERATING CASH FLOW.  The Company's Operating Cash Flow increased $2.8 million
or 25.4% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 from the same period in 1994.
The $2.1 million increase in the out-of-home segment's Operating Cash Flow and
the $2.5 million increase in the broadcasting segment's Operating Cash Flow more
than offset the $1.8 million decrease in the Company's other segment's Operating
Cash Flow for the quarter.  Operating Cash Flow as a percentage of net revenue
increased to 28.2% for the three months ended June 30, 1995 from 25.7% for the
comparable period in 1994.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization expenses increased
$0.4 million or 17.9% to $2.6 million in 1995 as compared to $2.2 million in
1994.  The increase is mainly the result of the addition of radio station
KUBE(FM) in July 1994.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense for the quarter ended June 30, 1995
increased $0.2 million or 2.7% to $6.8 million from $6.6 million in 1994
primarily due to an increase in long-term debt from the addition of KUBE(FM).

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. For the second quarter 1995, the Company incurred $826,000
in income tax expense:  $674,000 of  state income taxes related to a pending
settlement of certain prior year tax returns, and $152,000 under the federal
alternative minimum tax.  The Company had no income tax expense for the second
quarter 1994.  Management anticipates that the Company will continue to pay
federal income taxes under the alternative minimum tax until operating loss
carryforwards are substantially reduced.

NET INCOME.  Net income of $3.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995
increased $1.4 million or 61.0% from $2.3 million for the comparable period in
1994 reflecting the strong increase in Operating Cash Flow generated during the
second three months of 1995.

SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994


NET REVENUE.  Net revenue for the six months ended June 30, 1995, increased
$14.9 million or 16.3% to $106.2 million from $91.3 million in 1994.  The
Company's out-of-home media segment's net revenue increased $5.6 million or
14.2% mainly due to increased national advertising sales.  The Company's
broadcasting segment increased $6.9 million or 17.0% mainly due to the addition
of radio station KUBE(FM) and increased rates and sales volume.  Net revenue in
the Company's other businesses segment increased $2.4 million or 21.3% mainly
due to increased ticket sales from Sonics home games.

OPERATING EXPENSES AND OTHER INCOME.  Operating expenses and other income
increased $10.4 million or 14.3% to $82.8 million in 1995 compared to $72.4
million in 1994.  In the Company's out-of-home media segment, operating expenses
and other income increased $1.5 million or 5.2% to $29.9 million from a
combination of expenses related to increased sales and from the effects of
inflation on operating expenses.  Operating expenses and other income in the
Company's broadcasting segment increased by $4.5 million or 18.4% to $28.8
million mostly due to the addition of KUBE(FM) and higher programming,
promotion, and production expenses.  Operating expenses and other income from
the Company's other segment increased $4.4 million to $24.0 million or 22.3%
mainly from basketball operating expenses related to players' salaries and
transportation costs.

OPERATING CASH FLOW.  The Company's Operating Cash Flow increased $4.5 million
or 24.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from the same period in 1994.
The $4.1 million increase in the out-of-home segment's Operating Cash Flow and
the $2.4 million increase in the broadcasting segment's Operating Cash Flow
offset the $2.0 million decrease in the Company's other segment's Operating Cash
Flow.  Operating Cash Flow as a percentage of net revenue increased 1.4 % to
22.1% for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from 20.7% for the comparable 1994
period.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION.  Depreciation and amortization expense for the
six months ended June 30, 1995 increased $0.6 million or 11.8% to $5.3 million
from the comparable period in 1994.

INTEREST EXPENSE.  Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 1995
increased $0.4 million or 2.8% to $13.1 million from $12.7 million in 1994
primarily due to an increase in long-term debt from the addition of KUBE(FM).

INCOME TAX EXPENSE. For the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company had
$851,000 income tax expense:  $674,000 of  state income taxes related to a
pending settlement of certain prior year tax returns, and $177,000 under the
federal alternative minimum tax.  The Company had $33,000 of income tax expense
for the first six months of 1994.   Management anticipates that the Company will
continue to pay federal income taxes under the alternative minimum tax until
operating loss carryforwards are substantially reduced.

NET INCOME.  As a result of the above factors, net income increased to $4.1
million for the six months ended June 30, 1995 from $3.9 million in 1994.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company presently has approximately $7.9 million available for borrowing
under the revolving credit facility of the Credit Agreement.  The Credit
Agreement and Subordinated Note Agreements require the consent of the banks and
other lenders prior to any material expansion of the Company's operations.

Presently, borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear annual interest at either
the prime rate plus 1.00% or LIBOR plus 2.25%.  The Senior Notes bear annual
interest at 10.75%.  The Subordinated Notes bear average annual interest at
10.58%.  The borrowings and the Notes are subject to the Company's compliance
with certain financial  ratios and covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement,
Senior Note Indenture and Subordinated Note Agreements.  As of June 30, 1995,
the Company was in compliance with all such ratios and covenants.  The
borrowings under the Credit Agreement and the Senior Notes are secured by the
pledge of stock of the Company's subsidiaries.

The Company's working capital increased slightly to $17.2 million at June 30,
1995 from $16.8 million at December 31, 1994.  For the periods presented, the
Company financed its working capital needs from a combination of cash provided
by operating activities and borrowings under the Credit Agreement.
Historically, the Company's long-term liquidity needs for acquisitions have been
financed by additions to its long-term debt, principally through bank borrowings
or private placements of senior and subordinated debt.  Capital expenditures for
new property and equipment have been financed with both cash provided by
operating activities and long-term debt.  Cash provided by operating activities
for the first six months of 1995 increased to $14.3 million from $1.9 million in
1994.

At June 30, 1995, the Company's capital resources consisted of $5.6 million in
cash and cash equivalents and  approximately $7.9 million available under the
Credit Agreement.

Capital expenditures for new property and equipment of $7.9 million in the first
six months of 1995 were financed with a combination of cash provided by
operating activities and borrowings under the Credit Agreement.  These capital
expenditures were primarily for leasehold improvements at the new Key Arena -
the future home of the Sonics - as well as for advertising signs, displays,
vehicles and equipment, and broadcasting equipment.
