1.	FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 
  
The December 31, 1995 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from 
audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures 
required by generally accepted accounting principles.  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, 
1995 and the notes thereto.

79.1% equity interest in Noble (the "Noble Warrant").  On July 15, 1996, 
the Company consummated the purchase of the outstanding Noble capital 
stock from the Noble stockholders and exercised the Noble Warrant, 
resulting in the Company owning 100% of the equity interests in Noble. 
The Company financed this acquisition from the proceeds of a new credit 
facility (see Note 4).  

Noble owned ten radio stations serving Denver (two AM and two FM), St. 
Louis (one AM, two FM) and Toledo (one AM, two FM).

Also, in February 1996, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company 
purchased for approximately $47,000,000 certain assets from Noble 
relating to Noble's San Diego operations. As part of Noble's San Diego 
operations, Noble provided programming to and sold the air time for two 
radio stations serving San Diego (one AM, one FM), which programming and 
air time is now provided and sold by the Company.  In addition, another 
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company provided a credit facility to 
Noble in the amount of $41,000,000 of which $40,000,000 was drawn down. 
Such amount became part of the purchase consideration upon consummation 
of the transaction on July 15, 1996.

2.	ACQUISITIONS, Continued


Citicasters Inc.

In February 1996, the Company signed an agreement and plan of merger to 
acquire Citicasters Inc. ("Citicasters") owner of 19 radio stations in 
eight U.S. markets as well as two network affiliated television 
stations.  Citicasters' radio stations serve Atlanta, Cincinnati, 
Columbus, Kansas City, Phoenix, Portland, Sacramento, and Tampa.  The 
television stations serve Cincinnati and Tampa.  The agreement is 
subject to various conditions including the receipt of consents from 
regulatory authorities.  In July, the Company reached an agreement with 
the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice allowing it to 
proceed with this acquisition.  Pursuant to the agreement, the Company 
will divest WKRQ, one of the two Cincinnati radio stations to be 
acquired.  The agreement remains subject to receipt of consent from the 
Federal Communications Commission.  In conjunction with this agreement, 
the Company has delivered to the seller a $75,000,000 non-refundable 
deposit in the form of a letter of credit.  The letter of credit 
requires annual fees of 1.25% and can be drawn upon by Citicasters if 
the merger agreement is terminated.

The Company will pay $29.50 per share in cash, plus, in the event that 
the closing does not occur prior to October 1, 1996, for each full 
calendar month ending prior to the merger commencing with October 1996, 
an additional amount of $.22125 per share in cash. In addition, for each 
share of Citicasters common stock held, Citicasters shareholders will 
receive one Jacor warrant to purchase a fractional share of Jacor common 
stock (which fraction is anticipated to be .2035247) at a price of 
$28.00 per full share of Jacor common stock.  If the merger is not 
consummated by October 1, 1996, the exercise price for the warrants to 
purchase 4,400,000 shares of Jacor stock will be reduced to $26.00 per 
share.  The cash purchase price, which is approximately $630,000,000, 
will increase by approximately $5,000,000 for each full month subsequent 
to October, 1996 but prior to the merger.

The cash to be paid in connection with the acquisition of Citicasters, 
together with the fees and expenses incurred in connection therewith, 
will be financed through (i) the net proceeds from the 1996 Stock 
Offering - see Note 6; (ii) the net proceeds from the sale of Liquid 
Yield Option Notes - see Note 5; (iii) the net proceeds from the sale of 
Senior Subordinated Notes - see Note 4 (i, ii and iii together the 
"Offerings"); and (iv) borrowings under a New Credit Facility with an 
available principal amount of $600,000,000.

Other Acquisitions

In March 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the FCC 
licenses and certain operating assets of WCTQ-FM and WAMR-AM in Venice, 
Florida for $4,435,000 in cash.

In May 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the FCC 
licenses and certain operating assets of WIOT-FM and WCWA-AM in Toledo, 
Ohio for $13,000,000 in cash, which funds have been placed in escrow

time brokerage agreement with respect to these stations.

In June 1996, the Company financed the purchase for $540,000 by Critical 
Mass Media, Inc. ("CMM") of a 40% interest in a newly formed limited 
liability company that has agreed to purchase the assets of Duncan 
American Radio, Inc.  CMM is a marketing research and radio consulting 
business which is owned by a limited partnership of which the Company is 
the 5% general partner and a corporation wholly owned by Randy Michaels, 
the president of the Company, is the 95% limited partner.  The Company 
financed such purchase using cash on hand.

In June 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire the FCC 
licenses and certain operating assets of WLAP-AM, WMXL-FM and WWYC-FM in 
Lexington, Kentucky for $14,000,000 in cash.  The Company anticipates 
that it will consummate this acquisition upon receipt of the required 
FCC approvals.

Subsequent to June 30, 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to 
acquire the FCC licenses and certain operating assets of radio stations 
WSPB-AM and WSRZ-FM located in Sarasota, Florida and WYNF-FM in Coral 
Cove, Florida for $12,500,000 in cash.  The Company anticipates that it 
will consummate this acquisition upon receipt of the required FCC 
approvals.

4.	LONG-TERM DEBT, Continued


New Credit Facility

In June, the Company entered into a new credit facility (the "New Credit 
Facility").  The New Credit Facility is with a syndicate of banks and 
other financial institutions.  The New Credit Facility provides 
availability of up to $600,000,000 of loans in three components: (i) a 
revolving credit facility of up to $200,000,000 with mandatory semi-
annual commitment reductions beginning six months prior to the third 
anniversary of the closing of the New Credit Facility and a final 
maturity date of seven years after initial funding; (ii) a term loan of 
up to $300,000,000 with scheduled semi-annual reductions beginning six 
months prior to the second anniversary of the closing of the New Credit 
Facility and a final maturity date of seven years after initial funding; 
and (iii) a term loan of up to $100,000,000 with scheduled semi-annual 
reductions beginning six months prior to the third anniversary of the 
closing of the New Credit Facility and a final maturity date of eight 
years after initial funding.

Borrowings under the New Credit Facility will bear interest at rates 
that fluctuate with a bank base rate and/or the Eurodollar rate.

Loans under the New Credit Facility will be guaranteed by the Company 
and each of the Company's direct and indirect subsidiaries other than 
certain immaterial subsidiaries.  The Company's obligations with respect 
to the New Credit Facility and each guarantor's obligations with respect 
to the related guaranty is collateralized by substantially all of their 
respective assets, including, without limitation, inventory, equipment, 
accounts receivable, intercompany debt and, in the case of the Company's 
subsidiaries, capital stock.

The New Credit Facility contains covenants and provisions that restrict, 
among other things, the Company's ability to: (i) incur additional 
indebtedness; (ii) incur liens on its property; (iii) make investments 
and advances; (iv) enter into guarantees and other contingent 
obligations; (v) merge or consolidate with or acquire other person or 
engage in other fundamental changes; (vi) engage in certain sales of 
assets; (vii) make capital expenditures; (viii) enter into leases; (ix) 
engage in certain transactions with affiliates; and (x) make restricted 
junior payments.  The New Credit Facility also requires satisfaction of 
certain financial performance criteria (including a consolidated 
interest coverage ratio, a leverage-to-operating cash flow ratio and a 
consolidated operating cash flow available for fixed charges ratio) and 
the repayment of loans under the New Credit Facility with proceeds of 
certain sales of assets and debt issuances, and with 50% of the 
Company's Consolidated Excess Cash Flow (as defined in the New Credit 
Facility).

4.	LONG-TERM DEBT, Continued


10 1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes Due 2006

In June, the Company completed an offering of $100,000,000 of its 10 
1/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes").  The Notes will mature on 
June 15, 2006.  Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually on June 
15 and December 15 of each year, commencing December 15, 1996.  The 
Company will not be required to make any mandatory redemption or sinking 
fund payment with respect to the Notes prior to maturity.  The Notes 
will be redeemable at the option of the Company, in whole or in part, at 
any time on or after June 15, 2001.  The redemption prices commence at 
105.063% and are reduced by 1.688% annually until June 15, 2004 when the 
redemption price is 100%.

The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company subordinated 
in right of payment to all senior debt of the Company including the New 
Credit Facility.

The Note Indenture contains certain covenants which impose certain 
limitations and restrictions on the ability of the Company to incur 
additional indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make 
certain loans and investments, apply the proceeds of asset sales (and 
use the proceeds thereof), create liens, enter into certain transactions 
with affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all its 
assets and make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries.


5.	LIQUID YIELD OPTION NOTES

In June, the Company issued 5.5% Liquid Yield Option Notes ("LYONs") due 
2011 in the aggregate principal amount at maturity of $259,900,000.  
Each LYON had an issue price of $443.14 and a principal amount at 
maturity of $1,000.  At June 30, 1996 the accreted value of the LYONs 
was $115,506,405 which included $334,319 of accretion during the second 
quarter.

Each LYON is convertible, at the option of the Holder, at any time on or 
prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed or otherwise purchased, 
into Common Stock at a conversion rate of 13.412 shares per LYON.

5.	LIQUID YIELD OPTION NOTES, Continued

The LYONs are not redeemable by the Company prior to June 12, 2001.  
Thereafter, the LYONs are redeemable for cash at any time at the option 
of the Company, in whole or in part, at redemption prices equal to the 
issue price plus accrued original issue discount to the date of 
redemption.

The LYONs will be purchased by the Company, at the option of the Holder, 
on June 12, 2001 and June 12, 2006, for a Purchase Price of $581.25 and 
$762.39 (representing issue price plus accrued original issue discount 
to each date), respectively, representing a 5.50% yield per annum to the 
Holder on such date, computed on a semiannual bond equivalent basis.  
The Company, at its option, may elect to pay the purchase price on any 
such purchase date in cash or Common Stock, or any combination thereof.


6.	CAPITAL STOCK

	Issuance of Additional Common Stock

In June, the Company issued pursuant to a public offering (the "1996 
Stock Offering"), 11,250,000 shares of its Common Stock at a price of 
$28.00 per share.  Net proceeds to the Company from this 1996 Offering 
were approximately $303,600,000.  Such net proceeds will be used to 
finance the Citicasters acquisition.  Pending this application of the 
net proceeds, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds to repay 
all of its indebtedness under the Existing Credit Facility 
(approximately $196,500,000).


1993 Warrants

In connection with the 1996 Stock Offering, the Company determined that 
it would convert the 1,983,605 outstanding 1993 Warrants into the right 
to receive the Fair Market Value (as defined in the 1993 Warrant) 
calculated to be $19.70 per Warrant.  This resulted in the issuance by 
the Company of an additional 1,726,004 shares of Common Stock with 
proceeds aggregating approximately $14,325,000.  The Company used 
approximately $5,100,000 of these proceeds to fund the conversion of the 
remaining 1993 Warrants presented for redemption.





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





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the six-months ended June 30, 1996, the Company entered into agreements 
to acquire Citicasters Inc. ("Citicasters"), Noble Broadcast Group, Inc. 
("Noble") and an additional seven radio stations located in Venice, Florida; 
Toledo, Ohio and Lexington, Kentucky.  In July 1996, the Company completed the 
acquisition of Noble, which owned ten radio stations serving Denver, St. Louis 
and Toledo.  Previously, the Company purchased Noble's operating assets in San 
Diego which included an exclusive sales agency agreement under which Noble, 
and now the Company, provides programming to and sells air time for two radio 
stations serving San Diego (XTRA-AM and XTRA-FM).  The aggregate value of the 
completed Noble acquisition is approximately $160.0 million, including related 
fees and expenses.  The acquisition was funded through borrowings under the 
Company's Existing Credit Facility.  Additionally, the Company reached an 
agreement with the Antitrust Division of the Department of Justice allowing it 
to proceed with the Citicasters acquisition.  Pursuant to the agreement, the 
Company will divest WKRQ-FM, one of two Citicasters owned radio stations in 
Cincinnati.  The Company expects to receive FCC approval to complete the 
acquisition in the third quarter of 1996.  Discussion of the significant terms 
of the merger agreement follows:

On February 12, 1996, the Company, JCAC, Inc., a Florida corporation and a 
wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and Citicasters, entered into an 
agreement and plan of merger pursuant to which JCAC, Inc. will merge with and 
into Citicasters, with Citicasters as the surviving corporation.  As a result 
of the merger, Citicasters will become a wholly owned subsidiary of the 
Company.

The Company will pay $29.50 in cash per share, plus, in the event that the 
closing does not occur prior to October 1, 1996, for each full calendar month 
ending prior to the merger commencing with October 1996, an additional amount 
of $.22125 in cash per share.  In addition, for each share of Citicasters 
common stock held, Citicasters shareholders will receive one warrant to 
purchase a fractional share of Company common stock (which fraction is 
anticipated to be .2035247) at a price of $28.00 per full share of common 
stock.  If the merger is not consummated by October 1, 1996, the exercise 
price for the warrants to purchase 4,400,000 shares of Company stock will be 
reduced to $26.00 per share.  The cash purchase price, which is approximately 
$630.0 million, will increase by approximately $5.0 million for each full 
month subsequent to October, 1996 but prior to the merger.

The merger agreement may be terminated prior to the consummation of the merger 
by either the Company or Citicasters under various circumstances, including 
the failure to consummate the merger on or before May 31, 1997.  If the merger 
agreement is terminated upon the occurrence of certain triggering events, 
including the failure to consummate the merger by May 31, 1997, Citicasters 
may draw upon an irrevocable direct pay letter of credit in the amount of 
$75.0 million obtained by the Company and issued to an escrow agent on behalf 
of Citicasters.  Except in certain circumstances, the right to terminate the 
merger agreement and receive a maximum of $75.0 million pursuant to a draw on 
the letter of credit is Citicasters' exclusive remedy upon the occurrence of a 
triggering event.

                 	FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, Continued

Citicasters' outstanding 9 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") will 
become obligations of the surviving corporation in the merger.  As a result of 
a change in control covenant in the Notes, the holders of the Notes will have 
the option to cause the Company to purchase the Notes at 101% of the principal 
amount thereof.  As part of the financing of the Citicasters acquisition, the 
Company has entered into the New Credit Facility which will allow the Company 
to purchase the Notes, if necessary.

The aggregate value of the merger, when consummated, is estimated to be 
approximately $799.4 million. The cash to be paid in connection with the 
merger and the refinancing of Citicasters' bank debt, together with the fees 
and expenses incurred in connection therewith, will be financed through the 
remainder of (i) the net proceeds from a public offering of 11,250,000 shares 
of the Company common stock; (ii) the net proceeds of approximately $100.0 
million from an offering by the Company of its Liquid Yield Option Notes due 
2011; (iii) the net proceeds of an offering by the Company of $100.0 million 
aggregate principal amount of its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006;(iv) the 
anticipated borrowings under the New Credit Facility and (v) excess cash.  
These funds together with cash generated from operations will be sufficient to 
meet the Company's liquidity and capital needs for the foreseeable future.  
Approximately $214.6 million of the net proceeds from the Offerings were used 
(i) to repay outstanding bank debt; (ii) to fund the escrows associated with 
the purchase of the Toledo, Ohio and Lexington, Kentucky radio stations; and 
(iii) to purchase the Venice, Florida radio stations.

During the first six months of 1996, the Company made capital expenditures of 
approximately $5.1 million.  The Company estimates that capital expenditures 
for 1996 will be approximately $6.0 million which includes approximately $2.5 
million for the purchase during the first quarter of 1996 of the building 
currently housing the offices and studios of its Tampa radio stations and to 
complete the relocation of the offices and studios of its Atlanta radio 
stations.  The Company estimates that capital expenditures for the properties 
to be acquired from Citicasters and Noble would be approximately $4.0 million 
in the 12-month period following the consummation of the acquisitions.

The actual level of spending will depend on a variety of factors,
including general economic conditions and the Company's business.  

In connection with the merger, the Company entered into the New Credit 
Facility which provides for availability of $600.0 million pursuant to a 
$200.0 million reducing revolving facility under which the aggregate 
commitments would reduce on a semi-annual basis commencing six months prior to 
the third anniversary of the closing; a $300.0 million amortizing term loan 
that would reduce on a semi-annual basis commencing six months prior to the 
second anniversary of the closing; and a $100.0 million amortizing term loan 
that would reduce on a semi-annual basis commencing six months prior to the 
third anniversary of the closing.  The New Credit Facility bears interest at 
floating rates based on a Eurodollar rate or a bank base rate.  The New Credit 
Facility also provides the Company with additional credit for future 
acquisitions as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes.


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






LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, Continued


As a result of entering into the Existing Credit Facility in the first quarter 
of 1996, Jacor expensed approximately $1.6 million of unamortized cost 
associated with its 1993 credit agreement.  Upon its termination (anticipated 
by the Company to be during the third quarter of 1996), the Company will write 
off approximately $3.4 million of unamortized cost associated with its 
Existing Credit Facility.

The issuance of additional debt will negatively impact the Company's debt-to-
equity ratio and its results of operations and cash flows due to higher 
amounts of interest expense, although the issuance of additional equity will 
soften this impact to some extent.  Also, if the Company were not able to 
complete the merger due to certain circumstances, the Company would incur a 
one-time charge of $75.0 million relating to the non-refundable deposit.  If 
debt were used to finance such payment, it would negatively impact the 
Company's future results of operations and impede the Company's future growth 
by limiting the amount available under the Existing Credit Facility.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

In the following analysis, management discusses station operating income 
excluding depreciation and amortization.  Station operating income excluding 
depreciation and amortization should not be considered in isolation from, or 
as a substitute for, operating income, net income or cash flow and other 
consolidated income or cash flow statement data computed in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of a company's 
profitability or liquidity.  Although this measure of performance is not 
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is 
widely used in the broadcasting industry as a measure of a company's operating 
performance because it assists in comparing station performance on a 
consistent basis across companies without regard to depreciation and 
amortization, which can vary significantly depending on accounting methods 
(particularly where acquisitions are involved) or non-operating factors such 
as historical cost bases.  Station operating income excluding depreciation and 
amortization also excludes the effect of corporate general and administrative 
expenses, which generally do not relate directly to station performance.

                	FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1995

Broadcast revenue for the first six months of 1996 was $82.0 million, an 
increase of $20.5 million or 33.3% from $61.5 million during the first six 
months of 1995.  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 1995 period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting results 
from stations operated in the first six months of both 1996 and 1995 - 
broadcast revenue for the 1996 period was $66.2 million, an increase of $6.4 
million or 10.7% from $59.8 million for the 1995 period.

Agency commissions for the first six months of 1996 were $8.8 million, an 
increase of $2.1 million or 32.9% from $6.7 million during the first six 
months of 1995 due to the increase in broadcast revenue.

Broadcast operating expenses for the first six months of 1996 were $53.4 
million, an increase of $11.3 million or 26.9% from $42.1 million during the 
first six months of 1995.  These expenses increased as a result of expenses 
incurred at those properties owned or operated during the first six months of 
1996 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 1996 period were $42.2 
million, an increase of $1.7 million or 4.4% from $40.5 million for the 1995 
period.

Station operating income excluding depreciation and amortization for the six 
months ended June 30, 1996 was $19.8 million, an increase of $7.0 million or 
54.9% from the $12.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995.  On a 
"same station" basis, station operating income excluding depreciation and 
amortization for the 1996 period was $16.9 million, an increase of $4.1 
million or 31.3% from $12.8 million for the 1995 period. 

Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 1996 and 1995 was 
$5.4 million and $4.3 million, respectively.  The increase from period-to-
period resulted primarily from the acquisitions made by the Company during the 
second half of 1995 and the first half of 1996.

Operating income for the first six months of 1996 was $11.9 million, an 
increase of $5.2 million or 78.2% from an operating income of $6.7 million 
during the first six months of 1995.  

Interest expense for the first six months of 1996 and 1995 was $6.6 million 
and $0.2 million, respectively.  The increase in interest expense resulted 
principally from the increase in the Company's outstanding long-term debt 
which is primarily related to the Company's acquisition strategy and, to a 
lesser extent, the Company's June 1996 sale of its 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated 
Notes and 5.5% Liquid Yield Option Notes.

The gain on sale of radio stations in the first six months of 1996 resulted 
from the Company's February sale of two FM radio stations in Knoxville.

The extraordinary item in the first six months of 1996 represented the write-
off of unamortized costs associated with the Company's 1993 Credit Agreement 
which was replaced in February 1996 by the Company's Existing Credit Facility.

Net income for the first six months of 1996 and 1995 was $4.7 and $4.3 
million, respectively.


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






THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE THREE MONTHS ENDED 
JUNE 30, 1995

Broadcast revenue for the second quarter of 1996 was $48.5 million, an 
increase of $13.8 million or 39.7% from $34.7 million during the second 
quarter of 1995.  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 1996 second quarter but not during the 
comparable 1995 period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting results from 
stations operated in the second quarter of both 1996 and 1995 - broadcast 
revenue for the 1996 and 1995 period was $37.8 million, an increase of $4.0 
million or 12.0% from $33.8 million for the 1995 period.

Agency commissions for the second quarter of 1996 were $5.3 million, an 
increase of $1.5 million or 39.6% from $3.8 million during the second quarter 
of 1995 due to the increase in broadcast revenue.

Broadcast operating expenses for the second quarter of 1996 were $29.6 
million, an increase of $7.4 million or 33.4% from $22.2 million during the 
second quarter of 1995.  Theese expenses increased as a result of expenses 
incurred at those properties owned or operated during the 1996 second quarter 
but not during the comparable 1995 period and, to a lesser extent, increased 
selling and other payroll costs and programming costs.  On a "same station" 
basis, broadcast operating expenese for the 1996 period were $22.6 million, an 
increase of $1.2 million or 5.8% from $21.4 million for the 1995 period.

Station operating income excluding depreciation and amortization for the three 
months ended June 30, 1996 was $13.6 million, an increase of $4.9 million or 
55.8% from the $8.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995.  On a 
"same station" basis, station operating income excluding depreciation and 
amortization for the 1996 period was $11.1 million, an increase of $2.4 
million or 27.7% from $8.7 million for the 1995 period.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995 was $2.9 
million and $2.2 million, respectively.  The increase from quarter-to-quarter 
resulted primarily from the acquisitions made by the Company during the second 
half of 1995 and the first half of 1996.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1996 was $9.4 million, an increase 
of $3.8 million or 66.5% from $5.6 million during the second quarter of 1995.

Interest expense for the second quarter of 1996 and 1995 was $4.2 million and 
$0.1 million, respectively.  The increase in interest expense resulted 
principally from the increase in the Company's outstanding long-term debt 
which is primarily related to the Company's acquisition strategy and, to a 
lesser extent, the Company's June 1996 sale of its 10 1/8% Senior Subordinated 
Notes and 5.5% Liquid Yield Option Notes.

Net income for the second quarter of 1996 was $3.8 million, compared to net 
income of $3.5 million reported by the Company for the second quarter of 1995.  
The 1996 period includes $2.6 million of income tax expense while the 1995 
period includes $2.4 million of income tax expense.

           	FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued
			






CASH FLOWS

Cash flows provided by operating activities, inclusive of working capital, 
were $2.8 million and $8.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 
1995, respectively.  Cash flows provided by operating activities for the first 
six months of 1996 resulted primarily from the add-back of $5.6 million of 
depreciation and amortization together with the add-back of $1.0 million for 
the extraordinary loss net of ($2.5) million from the gain on sale of radio 
stations together with the ($6.8) million net change in working capital to net 
income of $4.7 million for the period.  The additional $0.8 million resulted 
principally from the add back of $0.6 million for the provision for losses on 
accounts receivable and $0.3 million of non-cash interest.  Cash flows 
provided by operating activities for the comparable 1995 period resulted 
primarily from the add-back of $4.3 million of depreciation and amortization 
together with the net change in working capital of ($1.0) million to net 
income of $4.3 million for the period.  The additional $0.4 million resulted 
primarily from the net of the add back of $0.6 million for the provision for 
losses on accounts receivable and the $0.3 million deferred income tax 
benefit.

Cash flows used by investing activities were ($162.5) million and ($22.5) 
million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  
Investing activities include capital expenditures of $5.1 million and $2.0 
million for the first six months of 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Investing 
activities during the first six months of 1996 include expenditures of $66.4 
million, $52.8 million, $42.2 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for 
acquisitions, the purchase of the Noble warrant, loans made to Noble and in 
connection with the Company's JSAs and other.  Additionally, investing 
activities for the 1996 period is net of $6.6 million of proceeds from the 
sale of radio stations WMYU-FM and WWST-FM in Knoxville.  Investing activities 
during the first six months of 1995 include expenditures of $17.2 million and 
$3.6 million, respectively for acquisitions and loans made in connection with 
the Company's JSAs.

Cash flows from financing activities were $471.8 million and ($7.3) million 
for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively.  Cash flows 
provided by financing activities during the first six months of 1996 resulted 
primarily from the $418.2 million of proceeds from the issuance of public 
debt, Liquid Yield Option Notes and borrowings under the Existing Credit 
Facility, together with $317.1 million in proceeds received from the issuance 
of common stock net of the $248.5 million repayment of long-term debt and 
$13.5 million of paid debt related finance costs.  Cash flows used from 
financing activities during the comparable 1995 six-month period resulted 
primarily from the repurchase of the Company's common stock ($11.2 million) 
net of the borrowings under the Company's credit agreement ($4.0 million).

 4.6	Severability.  Any provision contained in this Amendment that
