      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)





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.

2.   ACQUISITIONS

     Noble Broadcast Group, Inc.

     In February 1996, the Company agreed to acquire Noble Broadcast Group,
     Inc. ("Noble"), for approximately  $152,000,000 in cash plus related
     costs and expenses.  The Company entered into an agreement with the
     stockholders of Noble to acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of
     Noble for approximately $12,500,000.  At the same time, the Company also
     purchased a warrant for $52,775,170 entitling the Company to acquire a
     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.

2.   ACQUISITIONS, Continued
     
     The above acquisitions will be accounted for as purchases.
     The excess cost over the fair value of identifiable net assets
     acquired will be amortized over 40 years.  Assuming each of these
     acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of 1996 and 1995,
     respectively, unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations

     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
     pending the closing of the transaction.  Subject to certain conditions,
     pending the closing of this transaction, the Company has entered into a
     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.

     Existing Credit Facility
     
     On February 20, 1996 the Company entered into a credit facility (the
     "Existing Credit Facility") with a group of banks.  The Company borrowed
     approximately $200,000,000 under the facility in conjunction with the
     Noble and other acquisitions.  In June 1996, outstanding borrowings were
     repaid from a portion of the proceeds from the Offerings.  In connection
     with the acquisition of Citicasters, the Company entered into a new
     credit facility described below.

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).

     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.

     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.


            MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
         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.

         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.

         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.

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, $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

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).

filed with the FCC with respect to any application for FCC approval necessary
for the consummation of the Citicasters Transactions.  From June 12, 1996  to
the  date  hereof, to the knowledge of the Company after review of FCC  files
and  conferences with principal FCC staff who are in a position to have knowl
edge  on the Citicasters Transactions, there have been no informal objections
or  other oppositions filed with the FCC with respect to any application  for
FCC approval necessary for the consummation of the Citicasters Transactions.
