      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)






1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The financial statements included herein have been prepared
     by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and
     regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
     Although certain information and footnote disclosures
     normally included in financial statements prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
     have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and
     regulations, the Company believes that the disclosures are
     adequate to make the information presented not misleading and reflect
     all adjustments consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which 
     are necessary for a fair presentation of results of operations for 
     such periods.  Results for interim periods may not be indicative of 
     results for the full year.  It is suggested that these financial 
     statements be read in conjunction with the
     consolidated financial statements for the year ended
     December 31, 1994 and the notes thereto.


2.   PER SHARE DATA

     Income per share for the six months and three months ended
     June 30, 1995 and 1994 is based on the weighted average number of common
     shares outstanding and gives effect to both dilutive stock options
     and dilutive stock purchase warrants during the periods.  Fully diluted
     earnings per share is not presented since it approximates primary
     earnings per share.


3.   ACQUISITIONS

     In August 1995, a subsidiary of the Company entered into an
     agreement to acquire the assets of radio stations WJBT(FM) and WZAZ(AM)
     in Jacksonville, Florida for $3,750,000.  The asset purchase is
     subject to FCC approval and the satisfaction of certain other
     conditions.  Pending consummation of the transaction, the Company's 
     subsidiary has entered into a Local Marketing Agreement which began 
     July 3, 1995, and will expire on the purchase date.

     In August 1995, a subsidiary of the Company acquired the

     WBRD(AM) in Tampa, Florida for $14,000,000 in cash.


4.   COMMON STOCK BUY BACK

     During the quarter ended June 30, 1995, the Company
     purchased and retired 842,000 shares of its own Common Stock at a cost 
     of $11,226,050.

     The Company's Board of Directors has authorized the Company
     to purchase up to 1,519,700 shares of its own Common Stock from time to
     time in open-market or negotiated transactions.


            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company began 1995 with no outstanding debt and $27.0 million in cash and
cash equivalents.  During the first six months of 1995 the Company used $20.8
million in cash for acquisitions of radio stations and for loans and $11.2
million in cash to purchase shares of its own Common Stock.  These funds came
from cash on hand together with cash provided from operating activities and a
$4.0 million draw under the Company's Credit Agreement.

The Company's Credit Agreement provides for a senior secured reducing revolving
credit facility with a commitment of $45 million ($41.2 million at June 30,
1995 - see following paragraph) that expires on December 31, 2000 (the
"Revolver") and a senior secured acquisition facility with a commitment of $55
million (the "Acquisition Facility") that expires on September 30, 1996.  The
Credit Agreement contains restrictive covenants, and the indebtedness
thereunder is collateralized by liens on substantially all of the assets of the
Company and its operating subsidiaries and by a pledge of the operating
subsidiaries' stock.  The indebtedness under the Credit Agreement is guaranteed
by those subsidiaries.  Both facilities may be used for acquisitions permitted
under conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement.  Interest under the Credit
Agreement is payable, at the option of the Company, at alternative rates equal
to the Eurodollar rate plus 1.25% to 2.25% or the base rate announced by Banque
Paribas plus 0.25% to 1.25%.

The Credit Agreement requires that the commitment under the Revolver be reduced
in the quarter commencing January 1, 1994 and continuing quarterly thereafter
(reduced by $3.8 million as of June 30, 1995).  After the Acquisition Facility
commitment terminates on September 30, 1996, the Credit Agreement requires 17
equal quarterly amortization payments.  The Credit Agreement further requires
that, with certain exceptions, the Company prepay the loans and reduce the
commitments under the Credit Agreement with excess cash flow and the net
proceeds from certain sales of assets and capital stock.

The Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement in March 1993 on
a notional amount of $22.5 million for a three-year term for a cost of $0.1
million.  This agreement provided protection against the rise in the three-
month LIBOR interest rate beyond a level of 7.25%.  The current three-month
LIBOR interest rate is 5.88%.

            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, Continued

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, the Company, through its
subsidiaries, made capital expenditures of approximately $2.0 million.  The
Company expects to make acquisitions, loans and capital expenditures in the
range of $30 million to $35 million for the remainder of the year ended
December 31, 1995.

Management believes that its existing cash balance, cash generated from
operations and the availability of borrowings under the Credit Agreement will
be sufficient to meet its liquidity and capital needs for the foreseeable
future, under existing market conditions.


CASH FLOW

Cash flows provided by operating activities, inclusive of working capital were
$8.0 million and $2.8 million for the first six months of 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The net cash provided of $8.0 million for the first six months
of 1995 results primarily from the add back of depreciation and amortization
expense to net income for the period.  The net cash provided of $2.8 million
for the first six months of 1994 results primarily from the net income of $2.2
million generated during that period.  Cash flows used by investing activities
were ($22.5) million and ($9.6) million for the first six months of 1995 and
1994, respectively. The net cash used by investing activities for both six-
month periods results from payments made for acquisitions, loans and capital
expenditures.  The 1994 amount is net of $2.8 million of payments received on
notes and from the sale of assets.  Cash flows used by financing activities
were $7.3 million for the first half of 1995 principally due to the repurchase
of the Company's common stock ($11.2 million) net of the borrowings under the
Company's Credit Agreement ($4.0 million).  Cash flows provided by financing
activities were $0.5 million for the comparable 1994 period due primarily to
the issuance of common stock.

    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued





RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

Broadcast revenue for the first six months of 1995 was $61.5 million, an
increase of $5.9 million or 10.6% from $55.6 million during the first six
months of 1994.  This increase resulted from an increase in advertising rates
in both local and national advertising and from the revenue generated at those
properties owned or operated during the 1995 first six months but not during
the comparable 1994 period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting results
from stations operated in the first six months of both 1995 and 1994 -
broadcast revenue for the 1995 period was $58.8 million, an increase of $3.7
million or 6.8% from $55.1 million for the 1994 period.

Agency commissions for the first six months of 1995 were $6.7 million, an
increase of $0.9 million or 13.9% from $5.8 million during the first six months
of 1994 due to the increase in broadcast revenue.

Broadcast operating expenses for the first six months of 1995 were $42.1
million, an increase of $2.7 million or 6.8% from $39.4 million during the
first six months of 1994.  These expenses increased as a result of expenses
incurred at those properties owned or operated during the first six months of
1995 but not during the comparable 1994 period and, to a lesser extent,
increased selling and other payroll costs and programming costs.  On a "same
station" basis, broadcast operating expenses for the 1995 period were $39.8
million, an increase of $1.5 million or 3.8% from $38.3 million for the 1994
period.

Station operating income excluding depreciation and amortization for the six
months ended June 30, 1995 was $12.8 million, an increase of $2.4 million or
23.1% from the $10.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994.  The
strike-shortened Major League Baseball season in 1995 and the loss of the
Atlanta Braves broadcast rights after the 1994 season impacts the comparability
of broadcast revenue and operating expenses for the six-month period.  However,
the Company does not anticipate a material impact on station operating income
for 1995 due to the impact of baseball broadcasting.  On a "same station"
basis, station operating income excluding depreciation and amortization for the
1995 period was $12.7 million, an increase of $1.7 million or 15.5% from $11.0
million for the 1994 period.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1994, Continued


Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 1995 and 1994 was
$4.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively.

Operating income for the first six months of 1995 was $6.7 million, an increase
of $2.9 million or 73.9% from an operating income of $3.8 million during the
first six months of 1994.

Interest expense for the first six months of 1995 and 1994 was $0.2 million and
$0.3 million, respectively.

Net income for the first six months of 1995 was $4.3 million, compared to net
income of $2.2 million for the first six months of 1994.  The 1995 period
includes a $2.9 million of income tax  while the 1994 period includes $1.9
million of income tax expense.


THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1994

Broadcast revenue for the second quarter of 1995 was $34.7 million, an increase
of $1.1 million or 3.3% from $33.6 million during the second quarter of 1994.
This increase resulted from an increase in advertising rates in both local and
national advertising and from the revenue generated at those properties owned
or operated during the 1995 second quarter but not during the comparable 1994
period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting results from stations operated
in the second quarter of both 1995 and 1994 - broadcast revenue for the 1995
and 1994  periods was $33.2 million and $33.1 million, respectively.

Agency commissions for the second quarter of 1995 were $3.8 million, an
increase of $0.2 million or 6.9% from $3.6 million during the second quarter of
1994 due to the increase in broadcast revenue.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS
ENDED JUNE 30, 1994, Continued

Broadcast operating expenses for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994 were $22.2
million.  These expenses increased as a result of expenses incurred at those
properties owned or operated during the 1995 second quarter but not during the
comparable 1994 period and, to a lesser extent, increased selling and other
payroll costs and programming costs.  However, these increases were offset by a
decrease in broadcast rights' fees for professional baseball due to the loss of
the Atlanta Braves broadcast rights after the 1994 season.  On a "same station"
basis, broadcast operating expenses for the 1995 period were 20.9 million, a
decrease of $0.4 million or 1.6% from $21.3 million for the 1994 period.

Station operating income excluding depreciation and amortization for the three
months ended June 30, 1995 was $8.7 million, an increase of $0.9 million or
12.0% from the $7.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 1994.  The
strike-shortened Major League Baseball season in 1995 and the loss of the
Atlanta Braves broadcast rights after the 1994 season impacts the comparability
of broadcast revenue and operating expenses for the second quarter and will
also impact the third quarter.  On a "same station" basis, station operating
income excluding depreciation and amortization for the 1995 period was $8.6
million, an increase of $0.3 million or 3.0% from $8.3 million for the 1994
period.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994 was $2.2
million and $2.5 million, respectively.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1995 was $5.6 million, an increase
of $1.2 million or 29.0% from $4.4 million during the second quarter of 1994.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1995 and 1994 was $0.1 million.

Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $3.5 million, compared to net
income of $2.4 million reported by the Company for the second quarter of 1994.
The 1995 period includes $2.4 million of income tax expense while the 1994
period includes $2.1 million of income tax expense.

                   ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
                               OF
                   JACOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC.


     First:  The name of said corporation shall be:

                   JACOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

     Second:  The place in Ohio where its principal office is to
be located is the City of Cincinnati, Hamilton County.

     Third:  The purpose or purposes for which the corporation is
formed are:

     Any lawful act or activity for which corporations may be
formed under Sections 1701.01 through 1701.98, inclusive, of the Revised Code.

     Fourth:  The maximum aggregate number of shares which the corporation is
authorized to have outstanding is Forty-Four Million (44,000,000) shares,
divided into four classes.  The first class consists of Twenty Million
(20,000,000) shares of Class A common stock, without par value.  The second
class consists of Twenty Million (20,000,000) shares of Class B common stock,
without par value.  The third class consists of Two Million (2,000,000) shares
of Class A preferred stock, without par value.  The fourth class consists of
Two Million (2,000,000) shares of Class B preferred stock, without par value.
The preferred shares are senior to the common shares, and the common shares are
subject to the rights and preferences of the preferred shares as hereinafter
set forth.

     (a)  Dividends on Common Stock.  So long as any preferred shares shall
remain outstanding, no dividend shall be declared or paid or any distribution
made on the common shares or on any other class of shares junior to the
preferred shares, and no shares of common or of any other class junior to the
preferred shares shall be purchased or retired, and no moneys shall be made
available for a sinking fund for such purpose unless dividends for all past
dividend periods shall have been paid or declared (and funds for the payment
thereof set apart) on all outstanding preferred shares of all series.  Subject
to the above provisions, and not otherwise, dividends may be paid from time to
time on the common shares or other junior issues out of funds legally available
for the purpose as and when declared by the Board of Directors.


     (b)  Liquidation Rights.  In the event of any liquidation, dissolution, or
winding up of the affairs of the corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary,
the holders of the preferred shares of each series shall be entitled to be paid
in full the liquidation price fixed by the Board of Directors for the
respective series at or before the time of issuance thereof, plus an additional
amount equal to any accrued unpaid dividends.  All such payments or
distributions to or among the preferred shareholders are to be made before any
sum shall be paid to or distributed among the holders of the common shares.
Liquidation rights of different classes or series of preferred stock shall be
as determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to Article Fourth, Section (f)
below.

     (c)  Voting Rights.  The holders of Class A common stock and Class A
preferred shares shall have full voting rights (provided that, except as
otherwise required by law, the Class A common shares and the Class A preferred
shares shall vote together and not separately).  The holders of Class B
preferred shares shall not be entitled to vote at meetings of the shareholders
of the corporation or to receive notice of such meetings, except as otherwise
provided herein or as required by law or as lawfully fixed by the Board of
Directors with respect to each series of Class B preferred shares.  The holders
of Class B common shares shall have no voting rights.  Upon the occurrence of
the later of (i) the consent (which does not need to have become final) by the
Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") to the transfer of control of the
corporation to Zell/Chilmark Fund L.P. ("Z-C") (unless the FCC does not consent
to the transfer of control of the corporation to Z-C, in which case this clause
(i) shall be satisfied by the FCC's consent to a transfer of control of the
corporation upon the sale by Z-C of its Class B common shares) and (ii) the
sale of the corporation's stock to Z-C by the corporation's creditors pursuant
to the Restructuring Agreement dated as of September 20, 1992, the Class B
common shares shall automatically be converted into Class A common stock on a
one shares for one share basis (the "Automatic Conversion"), and the former
holders of Class B common stock shall have the right to exchange their
certificates representing Class B common stock for certificates representing
Class A common stock.  From the time of the Automatic Conversion forward, (x)
the Class B common stock shall cease to exist, without reducing the maximum
aggregate number of authorized shares which the corporation is authorized to
have outstanding, (y) the number of authorized shares allocated to the Class B
common stock shall become added to and become part of the authorized shares of
Class A common stock; and (z) the Class A common stock (which shall have
40,000,000 authorized shares) shall become retitled as "Common Stock."  The
Board of Directors is authorized to adopt, without shareholder approval, an
amendment to these amended Articles and to file a certificate thereof pursuant
to the applicable law to reflect the changes described in (x), (y) and (z)
above.

     (d)  Preemptive Rights.  No holder of shares of common or preferred stock
shall be entitled as a matter of right to subscribe for or purchase any part of
any new or additional issue of shares, or securities convertible into shares of
any kind whatsoever, whether now or hereafter authorized, and whether issued
for cash, property, services, by way of dividends, or otherwise.

     (e)  Conversion.  Except as provided in Section (c) of this Article
Fourth, the holders of common stock shall have no right to convert their shares
to shares of any other class or any other series.

     (f)  Preferred Stock.  The Board of Directors is authorized, subject to
any limitations prescribed by law, to provide from time to time for the
issuance of the shares of the Class A preferred stock and the Class B preferred
stock in series, and to adopt, without shareholder approval, an amendment to
these Articles and to file a certificate thereof pursuant to the applicable law
to establish the characteristics of each series including the following:

          (1)  Series.  The number of shares of that series, which may
subsequently be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of
that series then outstanding) by resolution of the Board of Directors, and the
distinctive designation thereof;

          (2)  Dividends.  The rights in respect of dividends on the shares of
that series, whether dividends shall be cumulative and, if so, from which date
or dates and the relative rights or priority, if any, of payment of dividends
on shares of that series and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on the
payment of dividends;

          (3)  Liquidation Rights.  The relative amounts, and the relative
rights or priority, if any, of payment in respect of shares of that series,
which the holders of the shares of that series shall be entitled to receive
upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation;

          (4)  Redemption.  The terms and conditions (including the price or
prices, which may vary under different conditions and at different redemption
dates), if any, upon which all or any part of the shares of that series may be
redeemed, and any limitations, restrictions or conditions on such redemption;

          (5)  Retirement.  The terms, if any, of any purchase, retirement or
sinking fund to be provided for the shares of that series;



          (6)  Conversion.  The terms, if any, upon which the shares of that
series shall be convertible into or exchangeable for shares of any other class,
classes or series, or other securities, whether or not issued by the
corporation;

          (7)  Restrictions on Indebtedness.  The restrictions, limitations and
conditions, if any, upon issuance of indebtedness of the corporation so long as
any shares of that series are outstanding; and 

          (8)  Miscellaneous.  Any other preferences and relative,
participating, optional or other rights and limitations of that series not
inconsistent with law, the provisions of this Section (f) or any resolution of
the Board of Directors pursuant hereto (including preferences, rights and
limitations of that series relative to the common stock or other preferred
stock of the corporation).

     Fifth:  When authorized by the affirmative vote of a majority of the Board
of Directors of the Corporation, without the action or approval of the
shareholders of the Corporation, the Corporation may redeem, purchase or
contract to purchase, at any time and from time to time, shares of any class of
stock issued by the Corporation for such prices and upon and subject to such
terms and conditions as the Corporation's Board of Directors may determine.

     Sixth:  These Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation supersede and
replace the existing Amended Articles of Incorporation.

                     JACOR REPORTS CONTINUING IMPROVEMENTS
                                 IN OPERATIONS



CINCINNATI, August 2, 1995 - JACOR Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOR), owner

and operator of radio stations in six U.S. markets, today reported a 23-percent

increase in broadcast cash flow during the six months ended June 30,1995, and a

12-percent increase in broadcast cash flow for the second quarter of 1995.

     Jacor's broadcast cash flow for the 1995 six-month period rose 23 percent

to $12.8 million from $10.4 million in the same six-month period of 1994.

Second quarter broadcast cash flow rose 12 percent to $8.7 million in 1995 from

$7.8 million in the same quarter of 1994.  Net revenues for the six-month

period rose 10 percent to $54.9 million from $49.8 million in the 1994 period.

Second quarter 1995 net revenues rose 3 percent to $30.9 million from $30.0

million in the 1994 period.  The strike-shortened Major League Baseball season

in 1995 and the loss of the Atlanta Braves broadcast rights after the 1994

season impacted the comparability of broadcast revenue and broadcast cash flow

for the six-month period and second quarter.



JACOR Communications, Inc. - Pg. 2



     On a "same station" basis -- reflecting results from stations operated in

the first six months of both 1995 and 1994 -- Jacor's broadcast cash flow rose

15 percent to $12.7 million for the first six months of 1995 from $11.0 million

in the same period last year.  Broadcast cash flow on a "same station" basis

for the second quarter of 1995 rose 3 percent to $8.6 million from $8.3 million

for the second quarter of 1994.  On a same station basis, adjusted for the 1994

Atlanta Braves broadcast rights, Jacor's 1995 year-to-date and 1995 second

quarter broadcast cash flow rose 27 percent and 19 percent, respectively, over

those of the comparable 1994 periods.

     The Company reported net income of $4.3 million or 20 cents per share,

during the first six months of 1995.  Results for the same period last year

reflected net income of $2.2 million, or 10 cents per share.  Net income for

the second quarter of 1995 was $3.5 million or 17 cents per share, an increase

of 49 percent from the net income of $2.4 million or 11 cents per share

reported by the Company for the second quarter of 1994.
