To the Plan Administrator
Jacor Communications, Inc. Retirement Plan

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets
available for plan benefits of Jacor Communications, Inc.
Retirement Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 and the related
statement of changes in net assets available for plan benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1993.  These financial statements
are the responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets
available for plan benefits as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the
year ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles.  

Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The supplemental
schedules as listed on page 2 are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements but are supplementary information required
by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the
auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial
statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: 
  
     The following describes the significant accounting policies  
     followed in the preparation of these financial statements.   
  
     Investments Valuation 
  
     Investments in securities (common stock and mutual funds)    
     are valued at the last reported sales price on the last      
     business day of the year.
  
     Other 
  
     Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade   
     date basis.  Gain or loss on sales of securities is based on 
     specific identification of cost for common stock of the      
     Company and average cost for other securities. 
  
     The Plan presents in the statement of changes in net assets  
     the net appreciation (depreciation) in the fair value of its 
     investments which consists of the realized gains or losses   
     and the unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on those      
     investments.

  
2.   TAX STATUS: 
  
     The Plan has received a favorable determination for          
     qualification under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the        
     Internal Revenue Code and the related trust is exempt from   
     federal income taxes under provisions of Section 501(a) of   
     the Internal Revenue Code. 

  
3.   DESCRIPTION OF PLAN: 
  
     The following description of the Jacor Communications, Inc.  
     Retirement Plan provides only general information.           
     Participants should refer to the Prospectus covering the     
     Plan and the Summary Plan Description for a more complete    
     description of the Plan's provisions.

3.  DESCRIPTION OF PLAN, Continued


     A.   GENERAL - The Plan is a defined contribution plan       
          covering all employees of the Company who meet the
          minimum eligibility requirements of age 21 and either
          twelve consecutive months of employment or 1,000 hours
          of service in a twelve-month period.  It is subject to
          the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income 
          Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).  The contributions and
          earnings are taxable to the participants, subject to
          certain exceptions, upon withdrawal from the Plan.
 
     B.   CONTRIBUTIONS - Participants in the Plan may elect to
          contribute a percentage of their pretax earnings to the
          Plan.  Currently, the Company, at the discretion of the
          Board of Directors, is matching fifty percent of the
          employee's elective contribution up to three percent of
          their annual eligible compensation.  Additional   
          amounts may be contributed by the employer from current
          or accumulated earnings and profits for the benefit of
          all employees. 
  
     C.   PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS - Each participant's account is
          credited with the participant's contribution, the
          Company's matching contribution, an allocation of any
          additional Company contribution, and plan earnings or
          losses.  Allocations are based on participant's
          earnings or account balances, as defined.  The benefit
          to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that
          can be provided from the participant's account. 
  
     D.   VESTING - Participants are immediately vested in their
          accounts. 
  
     E.   PAYMENT OF BENEFITS - On termination of service, a
          participant will receive a lump sum benefit payment no
          later than sixty days subsequent to the end of the plan
          year in which the termination is effective.  Amounts
          due persons who have elected distribution of benefits
          from the Plan are approximately $26,000 and $17,500 at  
          December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively.

           NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, Continued
                                      






     F.   RIGHT TO TERMINATE - Although there are no current
          plans to do so, the employer, in accordance with the
          procedure set forth in the Plan, may terminate the Plan
          at any time.


4.   EXPENSES OF THE PLAN: 
  
     Currently, the employer pays all administrative expenses of  
     the Plan. 


5.   PARTICIPANT DATA:

     At December 31, 1993, the number of employees participating  
     by investment direction was:
                    Money Market Fund        72          
                    Bond Fund                67   
                    Balanced Fund           237    
                    Growth Fund             186    
                    Company Stock Fund      348    


6.   PLAN AMENDMENTS:

     Effective January 1, 1992, the Plan was changed to allow     
     participants to direct the investment of their               
     contributions made after December 31, 1991 into one or more  
     investment funds or into Jacor common stock.  Prior to       
     January 1, 1992 all contributions to the Plan were used to   
     acquire Jacor common stock.

     In addition, the Plan was modified to allow for participant  
     loans and the Plan was also changed to allow participants,   
     after attaining age 55, to annually transfer up to 25% (50%  
     after attaining age 60) of their pre-1992 holdings in Jacor  
     common stock into one or more of the other available         
     investment funds.

7.   TRANSACTIONS WITH PERSONS KNOWN TO BE PARTIES IN INTEREST

     In connection with the January 11, 1993 restructuring of     
     Jacor Communications, Inc. (the "Company") and its debt      
     obligations, all holders of the then outstanding common      
     stock received 0.0423618 shares of a new class of the        
     Company's common stock and 0.1611234 warrants to purchase    
     such new common stock in exchange for every share of         
     existing common stock.  The warrants are exercisable at
