                             PART I



Item  1. Business

(a)  General Development of Business

Jacor Communications, Inc. ("Jacor" or the "Company"),
headquartered in Cincinnati, Ohio, was incorporated under Ohio
law in December 1979 and began operations in January 1981.  The
Company is a holding company engaged primarily in the radio
broadcasting business.  During 1995, Jacor entities owned and
operated twenty-two radio stations located across the United
States in seven markets: Atlanta, Cincinnati, Denver, Tampa,
Jacksonville, Knoxville and San Diego.  The Company has a local
marketing agreement ("LMA") to operate a radio station in
Atlanta.  In addition, the Company sells the advertising time for
four radio stations, three in Cincinnati and one in Denver
through joint sales agreements ("JSAs").  In addition, Jacor also
owns and operates the Georgia Radio News Service, a radio news
service which provides news, sports, and public affairs
programming to more than 140 stations.

In August 1995, a subsidiary of the Company acquired the business
and certain operating assets of radio stations WDUV(FM) and
WBRD(AM) in Tampa, Florida for approximately $14.0 million in
cash.

In September 1995, a subsidiary of the Company exercised its
purchase option to acquire ownership of the license of radio
station KHTS(FM) (formerly KECR) in San Diego, California for
approximately $13.9 million in cash.

In 1995, the Company acquired the call letters, programming and
certain contracts of radio station WOFX(FM) in Cincinnati, Ohio
and then changed the call letters of its FM broadcast station
WPPT to WOFX.  The Company also acquired radio stations WSOL(FM)
(formerly WHJX), WJBT(FM) and WZAZ(AM) in Jacksonville, Florida.
The aggregate cash purchase price for these acquisitions was
approximately $9.8 million.

          JACOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES


Item  1. Business, Continued

In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to
acquire Noble Broadcast Group, Inc. ("Noble"), which owns 10
radio stations serving Denver, St. Louis and Toledo.  Pending the
closing of this transaction, the Company and Noble have entered
into time brokerage agreements with respect to Noble's radio
stations in St. Louis and Toledo.  The Company also acquired from
Noble the right to provide programming to and sell air time for
one AM and one FM station serving the San Diego market.  The
aggregate value of the Noble acquisition, when fully consummated,
is estimated to be approximately $152.0 million, of which
approximately $139.5 million has already been paid.

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, Georgia; Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; Kansas
City, Kansas and Missouri; Phoenix, Arizona; Portland, Oregon;
Sacramento, California; and Tampa, Florida.  The television
stations serve Cincinnati, Ohio and Tampa, Florida.  The Company
will pay $29.50 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 in cash.  In addition, for each
share of Citicasters common stock held, Citicasters shareholders
will receive one Company warrant to purchase a fractional share
of the Company's common stock (which fraction is anticipated to
be .2035247) at a price of $28.00 per full share of the Company's
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 the Company's 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.  In
conjunction with this agreement, the Company has delivered to the
seller a $75.0 million 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.

In February 1996, the Company entered into a credit agreement
(the "Existing Credit Facility") which provides up to $300.0
million of loans to the Company in two components: (i) a $190.0
million revolving portion with mandatory quarterly commitment
reductions beginning on March 31, 1997 and a final maturity date
of December 31, 2003; and (ii) a $110.0 million revolving portion
with scheduled quarterly reductions beginning on March 31, 1998
and ending on December 31, 2003.  At closing, $190.0 million was
borrowed to fund the Noble transaction and to repay the December
31, 1995 outstanding debt of $45.5 million under the 1993 Credit
Agreement.

Item  1. Business, Continued

In February 1996, the Company sold the business and certain
operating assets of radio stations WMYU(FM) and WWST(FM) in
Knoxville, Tennessee.  The Company received approximately $6.5
million in cash for this sale.

In March 1996, the Company filed a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission relating to the
registration for public sale of 17,500,000 shares of the
Company's common stock.  The Company intends to use the net
proceeds from the 1996 stock offering, together with anticipated
borrowings under a new credit facility (the "New Credit
Facility") and excess cash on hand to finance the Citicasters
acquisition and the remaining purchase price of the Noble
acquisition; to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the
Existing Credit Facility including certain borrowings in
connection with the Noble acquisition; and for general corporate
purposes, including working capital.

(b) Financial Information About Industry Segments

The Company considers its operations to be comprised entirely of
one business segment.


(c) Narrative Description of Business

The following sets forth certain information regarding the radio
stations that will be owned and/or operated by the Company upon

     Company Strategy

     The Company's strategic objective is to be the leading radio
     broadcaster in each of its markets.  The Company intends to
     acquire individual radio stations or radio groups that
     strengthen its market position and that maximize the
     operating performance of its broadcast properties.
     Specifically, the Company's business strategy centers upon:
     
     Individual Market Leadership.  The Company strives to
     maximize the audience ratings in each of its markets in
     order to capture the largest share of the radio advertising
     revenue in the market.  The Company focuses on those markets
     where it believes it has the potential to be the leading
     radio group in the market.  By operating multiple radio
     stations in its markets, the Company is able to operate its
     stations at lower costs, reduce the risk of direct format
     competition and provide advertisers with the greatest access
     to targeted demographic groups.
     
     Acquisition and Market Development.  The Company's
     acquisition strategy focuses on acquiring both developed,
     cash flow producing stations and underdeveloped "stick"
     properties that complement its existing portfolio and
     strengthen its overall market position.  The Company has
     been able to improve the ratings of "stick" properties with
     increased marketing and focused programming that complements
     its existing radio station formats.  Additionally, the
     Company utilizes its strong market presence to boost the
     revenues and cash flow of "stick" properties by encouraging
     advertisers to buy advertising in a package with its more
     established stations.  The Company may enter new markets
     through acquisitions of radio groups that have multiple
     station ownership in such groups' markets.  Additionally,
     the Company will seek to acquire individual stations in new
     markets that it believes are fragmented and where a market-
     leading position can be created through additional in-market
     acquisitions.  The Company may exit markets it views as
     having limited strategic appeal by selling or swapping
     existing stations for stations in other markets where the
     Company operates, or for stations in new markets.

     Diverse Format Expertise.  The Company's management has
     developed programming expertise over a broad range of radio
     formats.  This management expertise enables the Company to
     specifically tailor the programming of each station in a
     market in order to maximize the Company's overall market
     position.  The  Company utilizes sophisticated research
     techniques to identify opportunities within each market and
     programs its stations to provide complete coverage of a
     demographic or format type.  This strategy allows the
     Company to deliver highly effective access to a target
     demographic and capture a higher percentage of the radio
     advertising market.
     
     Distinct Station Personalities.  The Company engages in a
     number of creative programming and promotional efforts
     designed to create listener loyalty and station brand
     awareness.  Through these efforts, management seeks to
     cultivate a distinct personality for each station based upon
     the unique characteristics of each market.  The Company
     hires dynamic on-air personalities for key morning and
     afternoon "drive times" and provides comprehensive news,
     traffic and weather reports to create active listening by
     the audience.  This commitment to "foreground" or "high
     impact" programming has successfully generated significant
     audience share.
     
     One of the methods the Company utilizes to develop the
     personality of its AM radio stations is by broadcasting
     professional sporting events and related programming.
     Currently, the Company has the broadcast rights for the
     Cincinnati Reds, Cincinnati Bengals, Colorado Rockies,
     Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Kings and San Diego Chargers.
     In addition, WGST-AM in Atlanta has the broadcast rights to
     serve as the official information station for the 1996
     Olympic Games.  Sports broadcasting serves as a key "magnet"
     for attracting audiences to a station and then introducing
     them to other programming features, such as local and
     national news, entertaining talk, and weather and traffic
     reports.

     Strong AM Stations.  The Company is an industry leader in
     successfully operating AM stations.  While many radio groups
     primarily utilize network or simulcast programming on their
     AM stations, the Company also develops unique programminig
     for its AM stations to build strong listener loyalty and
     awareness.  Utilizing this operating focus and expertise,
     the Company has developed its AM stations in Denver and
     Cincinnati into the revenue and ratings leaders among both
     AM and FM stations in their respective markets.  The
     Company's targeted AM programmiing adds to the Company's
     ability to lead its markets and results in more complete
     coverage of the listener base.
     
     Although the cost structure of a large scale AM station
     generally results in lower operating margins than typical
     music-based FM stations, the majority of the Company's AM
     stations generate substantial levels of broadcast cash flow.
     
     Powerful Broadcast Signals.  A station's ability to maintain
     market leadership depends in part upon the strength of its
     broadcasting delivery system.  A powerful broadcast signal
     enhances delivery range and clarity, thereby influencing
     listener preference and loyalty.  Many of the Company's
     stations' broadcasting signals are among the strongest in
     their respective markets reinforcing its market leadership.
     The Company opportunistically upgrades the power and quality
     of the signals at stations it acquires.
     
     Advertising

     The primary source of the Company's revenues is the sale of
     broadcasting time for local and national advertising.
     During the year ended December 31, 1995, approximately 82%
     of the Company's broadcast revenue was generated from the
     sale of local advertising and approximately 18% from the
     sale of national advertising.  The Company believes that
     radio is one of the most efficient, cost-effective means for
     advertisers to reach specific demographic groups.  The
     advertising rates charged by the Company's radio stations
     are based primarily on (i) the station's ability to attract
     an audience in the demographic groups targeted by its
     advertisers (as measured principally by quarterly Arbitron
     ratings surveys that quantify the number of listeners tuned
     to the station at various times), (ii) the number of
     stations in the market that compete for the same demographic
     group, (iii) the supply of and demand for radio advertising
     time and (iv) the supply and pricing of alternative
     advertising media.

     The Company emphasizes an aggressive local sales effort
     because local advertising represents a large majority of the
     Company's revenues.  The Company's local advertisers include
     automotive, retail, financial institutions and services and
     healthcare.  Each station's local sales staff solicits
     advertising, either directly from the local advertiser or
     through an advertising agency for the local advertiser.  The
     Company pays a higher commission rate to the sales staff for
     generating direct sales because the Company believes that
     through a strong relationship directly with the advertiser,
     it can better understand the advertiser's business needs and
     more effectively design an advertising campaign to help the
     advertiser sell its product.  The Company employs personnel
     in each market to produce commercials for the advertisers.
     National advertising sales for most of the Company's
     stations are made by the Company's national sales managers
     in conjunction with the efforts of an independent
     advertising representative who specializes in national sales
     and is compensated on a commission-only basis.

     The Company believes that sports broadcasting, absent
     unusual circumstances, is a stable source of advertising
     revenues.  There is less competition for the sports
     listener, since only one radio station can offer a
     particular game.  In addition, due to the higher degree of
     audience predictability, sports advertisers tend to sign
     contracts which are generally longer term and more stable
     than the Company's other advertisers.  The Company's sales
     staffs are particularly skilled in sales of sports
     advertising.
     
     The Company believes operating multiple stations in a market
     gives it significant opportunities in competing for
     advertising dollars.  Each multiple station platform better
     positions the Company to access a significant share of a
     given demographic segment making Company stations more
     attractive to advertisers seeking to reach that segment of
     the population.

     Competition; Changes in the Broadcasting Industry

     The radio broadcasting industry is a highly competitive
     business. The success of each of the Company's stations will
     depend significantly upon its audience ratings and its share
     of the overall advertising revenue within its market. The
     Company's stations will compete for listeners and
     advertising revenue directly with other radio stations as
     well as many other advertising media within their respective
     markets.  Radio stations compete for listeners primarily on
     the basis of program content and by hiring high-profile
     talent that appeals to a particular demographic group.  By
     building in each of its markets a strong listener base
     comprised of a specific demographic group, the Company will
     be able to attract advertisers seeking to reach those
     listeners.

     In addition to management experience, factors which are
     material to competitive position include the station's rank
     among radio stations in its market, transmitter power,
     assigned frequency, audience characteristics, local program
     acceptance and the number and characteristics of other
     stations in the market area, and other advertising media in
     that market.  The Company attempts to improve its
     competitive position with promotional campaigns aimed at the
     demographic groups targeted by its stations and by sales
     efforts designed to attract advertisers.  Recent changes in
     the FCC's policies and rules permit increased joint
     ownership and joint operation of local radio stations.
     Those stations taking advantage of these joint arrangements
     may in certain circumstances have lower operational costs
     and may be able to offer advertisers more attractive rates
     and services.

     The Company's audience ratings and market share will be
     subject to change, and any adverse change in a particular
     market could have a material adverse effect on the revenue
     of the Company's stations in that market.  Although the
     Company believes that each of its stations will be able to
     compete effectively in the market, there can be no assurance
     that any one of the Company's stations will be able to
     maintain or increase its current audience ratings and
     advertising revenue.

(c)  Narrative Description of Business, Continued

     Although the radio broadcasting industry is highly
     competitive, some legal restrictions on entry exist.  The
     operation of a radio broadcast station requires a license
     from the FCC and the number of radio stations that can
     operate in a given market is limited by the availability of
     the FM and AM radio frequencies that the FCC will license in
     that market.

     The Company's stations also compete directly for advertising
     revenues with other media, including broadcast television,
     cable television, newspapers, magazines, direct mail and
     billboard advertising.  In addition, the radio broadcasting
     industry is subject to competition from new media
     technologies that are being developed or introduced, such as
     the delivery of audio programming by cable television
     systems and by digital audio broadcasting.  The radio
     broadcasting industry historically has grown despite the
     introduction of new technologies for the delivery of
     entertainment and information, such as television
     broadcasting, cable television, audio tapes and compact
     disks.  Greater population and greater availability of
     radios, particularly car and portable radios, have
     contributed to this growth.  There can be no assurance,
     however, that the development or introduction in the future
     of any new media technology will not have an adverse effect
     on the radio broadcasting industry.  The Company also
     competes with other radio station groups to purchase
     additional stations.

     The FCC has allocated spectrum for a new technology,
     satellite digital audio radio services ("DARS"), to deliver
     audio programming.  The FCC has proposed, but not yet
     adopted licensing and operating rules for DARS, so that the
     allocated spectrum is not yet available for service.  The
     Company cannot predict when and in what form such rules will
     be adopted.  The FCC granted a waiver in September 1995 to
     permit one potential DARS operator to commence construction
     of a DARS satellite system, with the express notice that the
     FCC might not license such operator to provide DARS, nor
     would such waiver prejudge the ongoing rule making
     proceeding.  DARS may provide a medium for the delivery by
     satellite or terrestrial means of multiple new audio
     programming formats to local and/or national audiences.
     Digital technology also may be used in the future by
     terrestrial  radio broadcast stations either on existing or
     alternate broadcasting frequencies, and the FCC has stated
     that it will consider making changes to its rules to permit
     AM and FM radio stations to offer digital sound following
     industry analysis of technical standards.  In addition, the
     FCC has authorized an additional 100 kHz of band width for
     the AM band and will soon allocate frequencies in this new
     band to certain existing AM station licensees that applied
     for migration prior to the FCC's cut-off date.  At the end
     of a transition period, those licensees will be required to
     return to the FCC either the license for their existing AM
     band station or the license for the expanded AM band
     station.  None of the stations to be affiliated with the
     Company have sought authorizations for operations on the
     expanded AM band.

     Television stations compete for audiences and avertising
     revenues with radio and other television stations and cable
     systems in their market areas and with other advertising
     media such as newspapers, magazines, outdoor advertising and
     direct mail.  Competition for sales of television
     advertising time is based primarily on the anticipated and
     actually delivered size and demographic characteristics of
     audiences as determined by various services, price, the time
     of day when the advertising is to be broadcaST, competition
     from other television stations, including affiliates of
     other television broadcast networks, cable television
     systems and other media and general economic conditions.
     Competition for audiences is based primarily on the
     selection of programming, the acceptance of which is

     dependent on the reaction of the viewing public, which is
     often difficult to predict.  Additional elements that are
     material to the competitive position of television stations
     include management experience, authorized power and assigned
     frequency.  The broadcasting industry is continuously faced
     with technical changes and innovations, the popularity of
     competing entertainment and communications media, changes in
     labor conditions, and governmental restrictions or actions
     of Federal regulatory bodies, including the FCC, any of
     which could possibly have a material effect on a television
     station's operations and profits.  There are sources of
     video service other than conventional television stations,
     the most common being cable television, which can increase
     competition for a braodcasting television station by
     bringing into its market distant broadcasting signals not
     otherwise available to the station's audience, serving as a
     distribution system for national satellite-delivered
     programming and other non-broadcast programming originated
     on a cable system and selling advertising time to local
     advertisers.  Other principal sources of competition include
     home video exhibition and direct-to-home broadcast satellite
     television ("DBS") entertainment services.  Moreover,
     technology advances and regulatory changes affecting
     programming delivery through fiber optic telephone lines and
     video compression could lower entry barriers for new video
     channels and encourage the development of increasingly
     specialized "niche" programming.  The Telecom Act permits
     telephone companies to provide video distribution services
     via radio communication, on a common basis, as "cable
     systems" or as "open video systems," each pursuant to
     different regulatory schemes.  The Company is unable to
     predict the effect that technological and regulatory changes
     will have on the broadcast television industry and on the
     future profitability and value of a particular broadcast
     television station.
     
     The FCC authorizes DBS services throughout the United
     States.  Currently, two FCC permittees, DirecTv and United
     States Satellite Broadcasting, provide subscription DBS
     services via high power communications satellites and small
     dish receivers, and other companies provide direct-to-home
     video service using lower powered satellites and larger
     receivers. Additional companies are expected to commence
     direct-to-home operations in the near future.  DBS, as well
     as other new technologies, will further increase competition
     in the delivery of video programming.

     The Company cannot predict what other matters might be
     considered in the future, nor can it judge in advance what
     impact, if any, the implementation of any of these proposals
     or changes might have on its business.

     Federal Regulation of Broadcasting

     The ownership, operation and sale of stations are subject to
     the jurisdiction of the FCC, which acts under authority
     granted by the Communications Act.  Among other things, the
     FCC assigns frequency bands for broadcasting; determines the
     particular frequencies, locations and power of stations;
     issues, renews, revokes and modifies station licenses;
     determines whether to approve changes in ownership or
     control of station licenses; regulates equipment used
     by stations; adopts and implements regulations and policies
     that directly or indirectly affect the ownership, operation
     and employment practices of stations; and has the power to
     impose penalties for violations of its rules or the
     Communications Act.  On February 8, 1996, the President
     signed the Telecom Act.  The Telecom Act, among other
     measures, directs the FCC to (a) eliminate the national
     radio ownership limits; (b) increase the local radio
     ownership limits as specified in the Telecom Act; (c) issue
     broadcast licenses for periods of eight years; and (d)
     eliminate the opportunity for the filing of competing
     applications against broadcast renewal applications.
     Certain of these measures have been adopted by the FCC by an
     order released in March 1996, which will be effective upon
     publication in the Federal Register.  Other provisions of
     the Telecom Act will be acted upon by the FCC through rule-
     making proceedings, presently scheduled for completion by
     the end of 1996.

     Radio stations in the United States operate either by
     Amplitude Modulation (AM), conducted on 107 different
     frequencies located between 540 and 1600 kilohertz (kHz)
     (plus 10 frequencies between 1610-1710 kHz on the newly
     expanded AM band) in the low frequency band of the
     electromagnetic spectrum, or by Frequency Modulation (FM),
     conducted on approximately 100 different frequencies located
     between 88 and 108 megahertz (MHz) at the very high
     frequency band of the electromagnetic spectrum.

     Television stations in the United States operate as either
     Very High Frequency (VHF) stations (channels 2 through 13)
     or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) stations (channels 14 through
     69).  UHF stations in many cases have a weaker signal and
     therefore do not achieve the same coverage as VHF stations.

     License Grants and Renewals.  The Communications Act
     provides that a broadcast station license may be granted to
     an applicant if the grant would serve the public interest,
     convenience and necessity, subject to certain limitations
     referred to below.  In making licensing determinations, the
     FCC considers the legal, technical, financial and other
     qualifications of the applicant, including compliance with
     the Communications Act's limitations on alien ownership,
     compliance with various rules limiting common ownership of
     broadcast, cable and newspaper properties, and the
     "character" of the licensee and those persons holding
     "attributable" interests in the licensee.  Broadcast station
     licenses are granted for specific periods of time and, upon
     application, are renewable for additional terms.  The
     Telecom Act amends the Communications Act to provide that
     broadcast station licenses be granted, and thereafter
     renewed, for a term not to exceed eight years, if the FCC
     finds that the public interest, convenience, and necessity
     would be served.

     Generally, the FCC renews licenses without a hearing.  The
     Telecom Act amends the Communications Act to require the FCC
     to grant an application for renewal of a broadcast station
     license if: (1) the station has served the public interest,
     convenience, and necessity; (2) there have been no serious
     violations by the licensee of the Communications Act or the
     rules and regulations of the FCC; and (3) there have been no
     other violations by the licensee of the Communications Act
     or the rules and regulations of the FCC which, taken
     together, would constitute a pattern of abuse.  Pursuant to
     the Telecom Act, competing applications against broadcast
     renewal applications will no longer be entertained.  The
     Telecom Act provides that if the FCC, after notice and an
     opportunity for a hearing, decides that the requirements for
     renewal have not been met and that no mitigating factors
     warrant lesser sanctions, it may deny a renewal application.
     Only thereafter may the FCC accept applications by third
     parties to operate on the frequency of the former licensee.
     The Communications Act continues to authorize the filing of
     petitions to deny against license renewal applications

     during particular periods of time following the filing of
     renewal applications.  Petitions to deny can be used by
     interested parties, including members of the public, to
     raise issues concerning the qualifications of the renewal
     applicant.

     Except for certain of the Company's Florida stations, whose
     licenses have been renewed for seven years expiring in 2003,
     the current seven-year terms of the broadcasting licenses of
     all of the Company's stations expire in 1996, 1997 and 1998.

     obtaining license renewals for eight-year terms in the
     future.

     Ownership Rules.  Rules of the FCC limit the number and
     location of broadcast stations in which one licensee (or any
     party with a control position or attributable ownership
     interest therein) may have a attributable interest.  The
     "national radio ownership rule" had generally prohibited any
     one non-minority individual or entity from having a control
     position or attributable ownership interest in more than 20
     AM or more than 20 FM radio stations nationwide.  The
     Telecom Act directs the FCC to modify its rules to eliminate
     any provisions limiting the number of radio stations which
     may be owned or controlled by one entity nationally.  The
     FCC adopted this rule change by an order which became
     effective on March 15, 1996.

     The "local radio ownership rule" limits the number of
     stations in a radio market in which any one individual or
     entity may have a control position or attributable ownership
     interest.  The local radio ownership rule had provided, for
     markets with 15 or more radio stations, a limit of two AMs
     and two FMs, provided generally that the combined audience
     shares of the co-owned stations did not exceed 25% of the
     radio ratings market at the time of acquisition.  The
     Telecom Act directs the FCC to revise its rules to increase
     the local radio ownership limits as follows: (a) in markets
     with 45 or more commercial radio stations, a party may own
     up to eight commercial radio stations, no more than five of
     which are in the same service (AM or FM); (b) in markets
     with 30-44 commercial radio stations, the limit is seven
     commercial radio stations, no more than four of which are in
     the same service; (c) in markets with 15-29 commercial radio
     stations, the limit is six commercial radio stations, no
     more than four of which are in the same service; and (d) in
     markets with 14 or fewer commercial radio stations, a party
     may own up to five commercial radio stations, no more than
     three of which are in the same service, provided that no
     party may own more than 50% of the commercial stations in
     the market.  The FCC adopted these changes to the local
     radio ownership rule by an order which became effective on
     March 15, 1996. In addition, the FCC has a "cross interest"
     policy that may prohibit a party with an attributable
     interest in one station in a market from also holding either
     a "meaningful" non-attributable equity interest (e.g., non-
     voting stock, voting stock, limited partnership interests)
     or key management position in another station in the same
     market, or which may prohibit local stations from combining

     to build or acquire another local station.  The FCC is
     presently evaluating its cross-interest policy as well as
     policies governing attributable ownership interests.  The
     Company cannot predict whether the FCC will adopt any
     changes in these policies or, if so, what the new policies
     will be.

     Under the current rule, an individual or other entity owning
     or having voting control of 5% or more of a corporation's
     voting stock is considered to have an attributable interest
     in the corporation and its stations, except that banks
     holding such stock in their trust accounts, investments
     companies, and certain other passive interests are not
     considered to have an attributable interest unless they own
     or have voting control over 10% or more of such stock.  The
     FCC is currently evaluating whether to raise the foregoing
     benchmarks to 10% and 20%, respectively.  An officer or
     director of a corporation or any general partner of a
     partnership also is deemed to hold an attributable interest
     in the media license.  Under the current rules,
     Zell/Chilmark is considered a single majority shareholder of
     the Company, and minority shareholders are not considered to
     have attributable interests in the Company's stations.  The
     FCC has asked for comments as to whether it should continue
     the single majority shareholder exemption.  The Company
     cannot predict whether the FCC will adopt these or any other
     proposals.
     
     The rules also generally prohibit the acquisition of an
     ownership or control position in a television station and
     one or more radio stations serving the same market (termed
     the "one-to-a-market" rule).  Current FCC policy looks
     favorably upon waiver requests relating to television and
     AM/FM radio combinations in the top 25 television markets
     where at least 30 separately owned broadcast stations will
     remain after the combination.  One-to-a-market waiver
     requests in other markets, as well as those in the top 25
     television markets that involve the combination of a
     television station and more than one same service (AM or FM)
     radio station, presently are evaluated by the FCC pursuant
     to a five-part, case-by-case standard.  The FCC also has an
     established policy for granting waivers that involve
     "failed" stations.  The FCC currently is considering changes
     to its one-to-a-market waiver standards in a pending rule-
     making proceeding.  The Telecom Act instructs the FCC to
     extend its top 25 market/30 voices waiver policy to the top
     50 markets, consistent with the public interest,
     convenience, and necessity.  The Telecom Act conferees

     stated that they expect the FCC in its future implementation
     of its current one-to-a-market waiver policy, as well as in
     any future changes the FCC may adopt in the pending rule
     making, to take into account increased competition and the
     need for diversity in today's radio marketplace.  The FCC
     also plans to review and possibly modify its current
     prohibitions relating to ownership or control positions in a
     daily newspaper and a broadcast station in the same market.

     Holders of non-voting stock generally will not be attributed
     an interest in the issuing entity, and holders of debt and
     instruments such as warrants, convertible debentures,
     options, or other non-voting interests with rights of
     conversion to voting interests generally will not be
     attributed such an interest unless and until such conversion
     is effected.  The FCC is currently considering whether it
     should attribute non-voting stock, or perhaps non-voting
     stock interests when combined with other rights, such as
     voting shares or contractual relationships, along with its
     review of its other attribution policies.  The Company
     cannot predict whether the FCC will adopt these or other
     changes in its attribution policies.

     Under the Communications Act, broadcast licenses may not be
     granted, transferred or assigned to any corporation of which
     more than one-fifth of the capital stock is owned of record
     or voted by non-U.S. citizens or foreign governments or
     their representatives (collectively, "Aliens").  In
     addition, the Communications Act provides that no broadcast
     license may be held by any corporation of which more than
     one-fourth of the capital stock is owned of record or voted
     by Aliens, without an FCC public interest finding.  The FCC
     has issued interpretations of existing law under which these
     restrictions in modified form apply to other forms of
     business organizations, including general and limited
     partnerships.  The FCC also prohibits a licensee from
     continuing to control broadcast licenses if the licensee
     otherwise falls under Alien influence or control in a manner
     determined by the FCC to be in violation of the
     Communications Act or contrary to the public interest.  No
     officers, directors or significant shareholders of the
     Company are known by the Company to be Aliens.

     Regulation of Broadcast Operations.  In order to retain
licenses, broadcasters are obligated, under the   Communications
Act, to serve the "public interest."  Since  the late 1970s, the
FCC gradually has relaxed or eliminated      many of the more
formalized regulatory procedures and    requirements developed to
promote the broadcast of certain   types of programming
responsive to the problems, needs, and  interests of a station's
community of license.

     The regulatory changes have provided broadcast stations with
     increased flexibility to design their program formats and
     have provided relief from some recordkeeping and FCC filing
     requirements.  However, licensees continue to be required to
     present programming that is responsive to significant
     community issues and to maintain certain records
     demonstrating such responsiveness.  Complaints from
     listeners concerning a station's programming have been
     considered by the FCC when evaluating licensee renewal
     applications and at other times.  The FCC has proposed
     implementing the changes in its broadcast renewal procedures
     required by the Telecom Act by a rule making proceeding
     scheduled to be completed by the end of 1996.  That
     proceeding may further illuminate the standards for renewal
     of broadcast licenses under the Telecom Act.

     Stations still are required to follow various rules
     promulgated under the Communications Act that regulate
     political broadcasts, political advertisements, sponsorship
     identifications, technical operations and other matters.
     "Equal Opportunity" and affirmative action requirements also
     exist.  Failure to observe these or other rules can result
     in the imposition of monetary forfeitures or in the grant of
     a "short" (less than full term) license term or license
     revocation.  The Telecom Act states that the FCC may deny,
     after a hearing, the renewal of a broadcast license for
     serious violations of the Communications Act or the FCC's
     rules or where there have been other violations which
     together constitute a pattern of abuse.

(c)  Narrative Description of Business, Continued

     In 1985, the FCC adopted rules regarding human exposure to
     levels of radio frequency ("RF") radiation.  These rules
     require applicants for new broadcast stations, renewals of
     broadcast licenses or modification of existing licenses to
     inform the FCC at the time of filing such applications
     whether a new or existing broadcast facility would expose
     people to RF radiation in excess of certain guidelines.  In
     March 1993, the FCC proposed adopting more restrictive
     radiation limits.  The Company cannot predict whether the
     FCC will adopt this or any other proposal.

     Agreements With Other Broadcasters.  Over the past several
     years a significant number of broadcast licensees, including
     certain of the Company's subsidiaries, have entered into
     cooperative agreements with other stations in their market.
     These agreements may take varying forms, subject to
     compliance with the requirements of the FCC's rules and
     policies and other laws.  Typically, separately owned
     stations may agree to function cooperatively in terms of
     programming, advertising sales, etc., subject to the
     licensee of each station maintaining independent control
     over the programming and station operations of its own
     station.  One typical example is a LMA between two
     separately owned stations serving a common service area,
     whereby the licensee of one station programs substantial
     portions of the broadcast day on the other licensee's
     station, subject to ultimate editorial and other controls
     being exercised by the latter licensee, and sells
     advertising time during such program segments for its own
     account.  Another is a JSA pursuant to which a licensee
     sells advertising time on both its own station or stations
     and on another separately owned station.

Item 1. Business, Continued

(c)  Narrative Description of Business, Continued

     In the past, the FCC has determined that issues of joint
     advertising sales should be left to antitrust enforcement
     and has specifically exempted LMAs from its "cross-interest"
     policy.  Furthermore, the FCC has held that LMAs do not per
     se constitute a transfer of control and are not contrary to
     the Communications Act provided that the licensee of the
     station maintains complete responsibility for and control
     over operations of its broadcast station (including,
     specifically, control over station finances, personnel and
     programming) and complies with applicable FCC rules and with
     antitrust laws.  At present, the FCC is considering whether
     it should treat as attributable multiple business
     arrangements among local stations, such as joint sales
     accompanied by debt financing.  The Company cannot predict
     whether the FCC would require the termination or
     restructuring of the Company's JSAs or other arrangements
     with broadcasters in the Cincinnati and Denver markets in
     connection with the FCC's pending rule making on attribution
     or other FCC proceedings.

     Under certain circumstances, the FCC will consider a radio
     station brokering time on another radio station serving the
     same market to have an attributable ownership interest in
     the brokered station for purposes of the FCC's radio
     multiple ownership rules.  In particular, a radio station is
     not permitted to enter into a LMA giving it the right to
     program more than 15% of the broadcast time, on a weekly
     basis, of another local radio station which it could not own
     under the FCC's local radio ownership rules.

     The FCC's rules also prohibit a radio licensee from
     simulcasting more than 25% of its programming on another
     radio station in the same broadcast service (i.e., AM-AM or
     FM-FM) whether it owns both stations or operates both
     through a LMA where both stations serve substantially the
     same geographic area.

     FCC Consideration of Pending Acquisitions.  On February 8,
     1996, the Company filed an application with the FCC for its
     consent to the transfer of control of Noble Broadcast
     Licenses, Inc. ("Noble Licenses"), the licensee of ten full-
     powered radio stations in the Toledo, St. Louis and Denver
     markets, from John T. Lynch et al., to the Company (the
     "Noble Transfer Application").  The Noble Transfer
     Application has been accepted by the FCC and, pursuant to
     the Communications Act and the FCC's rules, interested third
     parties were able to file petitions to deny the Noble
     Transfer Application until March 22, 1996, and thereafter
     may file informal objections until the Noble Transfer
     Application is granted.  The Company presently owns two AM
     and two FM stations in the Denver market, and Noble
     presently owns two AM and two FM stations serving the Denver
     market.  The Noble Transfer Application provides a technical
     statement demonstrating that, pursuant to the FCC's
     methodology for calculating market size, the Denver market
     contains more than 45 commercial radio stations, and the
     Company would own eight commercial radio stations, no more
     than four of which are in the same service.  To the extent
     that the FCC's revision of its local radio ownership rules
     pursuant to the Telecom Act is not formally in effect by the
     time the FCC acts on the Noble Transfer Application, the
     Company has asked for a waiver of such rules to the extent
     deemed necessary.
     
          On February 22, 1996, the Company filed an application
     with the FCC for its consent to the transfer of control of
     Citicasters Co., the licensee of 19 full-powered radio
     stations in the Atlanta, Phoenix, Tampa, Cincinnati,
     Portland, Sacramento, Columbus and Kansas City markets, and
     two television stations in the Tampa and Cincinnati markets,
     from the shareholders of Citicasters to the Company (the
     "Citicasters Transfer Application").  The Citicasters
     Transfer Application has been accepted by the FCC and,
     pursuant to the Communications Act and the FCC's rules,
     interested third parties may file petitions to deny the
     Citicasters Transfer Application until April 4, 1996,

     and thereafter may file informal objections until the
     Citicasters Transfer Application is granted.  The Company
     presently owns and/or has LMAs with one AM and two FM
     stations in the Atlanta market, two AM and two FM stations
     in the Tampa market and two AM and two FM stations in the
     Cincinnati market.  The Citicasters Transfer Application
     provides a technical statement demonstrating that, pursuant
     to the FCC's methodology for calculating market size, the
     relevant radio market in Atlanta, Tampa and Cincinnati
     contains more than 45 commercial radio stations, and the
     Company would own less than eight commercial radio stations,
     and less than five in the same service in each such radio
     market.  To the extent that the FCC's revision of its
     national and local radio ownership rules pursuant to the
     Telecom Act is not formally in effect by the time the FCC
     acts on the Citicasters Transfer Application, the Company
     has asked for a waiver of such rules to the extent deemed
     necessary.  The television stations licensed to Citicasters
     are in markets in which the Company and Citicasters own
     radio stations.  Consequently, the Citicasters Transfer
     Application requests waivers of the one-to-a-market rule to
     permit the permanent co-ownership of these television and
     radio stations.  The Citicasters Transfer Application notes
     that the FCC may choose to grant initially temporary waivers
     of the one-to-a-market rule in connection with the transfer
     of Citicasters to the Company and thereafter rule on the
     permanent waiver requests.

     Legislation and Regulation of Television Operations.
     Television stations are regulated by the FCC pursuant to
     provisions of the Communications Act and the FCC rules that
     are in many instances the same or similar to those
     applicable to radio stations.  Besides technical differences
     between television and radio, principle variances in
     regulation relate to limits on national and local ownership,
     LMAs and simulcasts, children's programming requirements,
     advanced television service, signal carriage rights on cable
     systems, license terms, "V-chip" technology and
     network/affiliate relations.

Item 1. Business, Continued

(c)  Narrative Description of Business, Continued

     The current FCC rules prohibit combined local ownership or
     control of television stations with overlapping "Grade B"
     service contours (unless established waiver standards are
     met).  The Telecom Act directs the FCC to conduct a rule-
     making proceeding to determine whether to retain, modify or
     eliminate these local television ownership rules.  This rule
     making is presently scheduled for completion by the end of
     1996.  The current FCC rules also prohibit (with certain
     qualifications) any person or entity from having an
     attributable interest in more than 12 full-power television
     stations, subject to a 25% national audience reach
     limitation.  Pursuant to the Telecom Act, the FCC has
     modified this national television ownership rule, which will
     be effective upon publication in the Federal Register, by
     eliminating the 12-station limit and permitting an entity to
     have an attributable interest in an unlimited number of U.S.
     television stations so long as such stations do not reach in
     the aggregate more than 35% of the national television
     audience.  Additionally, the rules prohibit (with certain
     qualifications) the holder of an attributable interest in a
     television station from also having an attributable interest
     in a radio station, daily newspaper or cable television
     system serving a community located within the relevant
     coverage area of that television station.  As noted above,
     the radio/television one-to-a-market rule is under review
     and the FCC also plans to review and possibly modify its
     current broadcast/daily newspaper restriction.  The Telecom
     Act mandates the elimination of the restriction of network
     ownership of cable systems and the implementation, if
     necessary, of rules to ensure nondiscriminatory carriage and
     channel positioning of nonaffiliated broadcast stations by
     network-owned cable systems.  The FCC has stated that this
     change will be implemented by an order released in March
     1996.

     Presently, LMAs between television stations are not treated
     as attributable interests and there is no restriction on
     same-market television simulcasts.  The FCC is considering
     in a pending rule-making proceeding whether to treat
     television LMAs similar to radio LMAs for multiple ownership
     rule purposes.  The Citicasters television stations are not
     participants in LMAs.

     The FCC is conducting a rule-making proceeding to consider
     proposals to increase and quantify television stations'
     programming obligations under the FCC rules implementing the
     Children's Television Act of 1990, which requires television
     stations to present programming specifically directed to the
     "educational and informational" needs of children under the
     age of 16.

     The FCC is conducting a rule-making proceeding to devise a
     table of channel allotments in connection with the
     introduction of advanced (or "high definition") television
     service ("ATV").  The FCC has preliminarily decided to allot
     a second broadcast channel to each full-power commercial
     television station for ATV operation.  According to this
     preliminary decision, stations would be permitted to phase
     in their ATV operations over a period of several years
     following adoption of a final table of allotments, after
     which they would be required to surrender their non-ATV
     channel.  Meanwhile, Congress is considering proposals that
     would require incumbent broadcasters to bid at auctions for
     the additional spectrum required to effect a transition to
     ATV, or alternatively, would assign additional ATV spectrum
     to incumbent broadcasters and require the early surrender of
     their non-ATV channel for sale by public auction.  It is not
     possible to predict if, or when, any of these proposals will
     be adopted or the effect, if any, adoption of such proposals
     would have on the Citicasters television stations.

          FCC regulations implementing the Cable Television
     Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992
     Cable Act") require each television broadcaster to elect, at
     three-year intervals beginning June 17, 1993, either to (a)
     require carriage of its signal by cable systems in the
     station's market ("must-carry") or (b) negotiate the terms
     on which such broadcast station would permit transmission of
     its signal by the cable systems within its market
     ("retransmission consent").  In a 2-1 decision issued on
     December 13, 1995, a special three-judge panel of the U.S.
     District Court for the District of Columbia upheld the
     constitutionality of the must-carry provisions.  The
     District Court's decision has been appealed to the U.S.
     Supreme Court, which will hear the appeal during its 1996-
     1997 term, with a decision expected in the second calendar
     quarter of 1997.

     In the meantime, the FCC's must-carry regulations
     implementing the Cable Act remain in effect.  The Company
     cannot predict the outcome of the Supreme Court review of
     the case.

     Until the passage of the Telecom Act, television licenses
     were granted and renewed for a maximum of five years.  The
     Telecom Act amends the Communications Act to provide that
     broadcast station licenses be granted, and thereafter
     renewed, for a term not to exceed eight years, if the FCC
     finds that the public interest, convenience, and necessity
     would be served.  The Telecom Act also requires the
     broadcast and cable industries to develop and transmit an
     encrypted rating that would permit the blocking of violent
     or indecent video programming and allow telephone companies
     to operate cable television systems in their own service
     areas.

     At present, the Citicasters Cincinnati television station is
     an ABC-network affiliate (committed to change to a CBS
     network affiliate in June 1996) and the Citicasters Tampa
     television station is a CBS-network affiliate.  Both are VHF
     stations.  The FCC currently is reviewing certain of its
     rules governing the relationship between broadcast
     television networks and their affiliated stations.  The FCC
     is conducting a rule-making proceeding to examine its rules
     prohibiting broadcast television networks from representing
     their affiliated stations for the sale of non-network
     advertising time and from influencing or controlling the
     rates set by their affiliates for the sale of such time.
     Separately, the FCC is conducting a rule-making proceeding
     to consider the relaxation or elimination of its rules
     prohibiting broadcast networks from (a) restricting their
     affiliates' right to reject network programming; (b)
     reserving an option to use specified amounts of their
     affiliates' broadcast time; and (c) forbidding their
     affiliates from broadcasting the programming of another
     network; and to consider the relaxation of its rule
     prohibiting network-affiliated stations from preventing
     other stations from broadcasting the programming of their
     network.

     Proposed Changes.  The FCC has not yet implemented formally
     the changes to its rules necessitated by the Telecom Act.
     Moreover, the Congress and the FCC have under consideration,
     and may in the future consider and adopt, new laws,
     regulations and policies regarding a wide variety of matters
     that could, directly or indirectly, (i) affect the
     operation, ownership and profitability of the Company and
     its broadcast stations, (ii) result in the loss of audience
     share and advertising revenues of the Company's broadcast
     stations, (iii) affect the ability of the Company to acquire
     additional broadcast stations or finance such acquisitions,
     (iv) affect current cooperative agreements and/or financing
     arrangements with other radio broadcast licensees, or (v)
     affect the Company's competitive position in relationship to
     other advertising media in its markets. Such matters
     include, for example, changes to the license authorization
     and renewal process; proposals to revise the FCC's equal
     employment opportunity rules and other matters relating to
     minority and female involvement in broadcasting; proposals
     to alter the benchmarks or thresholds for attributing
     ownership interest in broadcast media; proposals to change
     rules or policies relating to political broadcasting;
     changes to technical and frequency allocation matters,
     including those relative to the implementation of digital
     audio broadcasting on both a satellite and terrestrial
     basis; proposals to restrict or prohibit the advertising of
     beer, wine and other alcoholic beverages on radio; changes
     in the FCC's cross-interest, multiple ownership, alien
     ownership and cross-ownership policies; proposals to allow
     greater telephone company participation in the delivery of
     audio and video programming; proposals to limit the tax
     deductibility of advertising expenses by advertisers;
     potential auctions for ATV or non-ATV television spectrum;
     the implementation of "V-chip" technology; and changes to
     children's television programming requirements, signal
     carriage rights on cable systems and network affiliate
     relations.

Item 1. Business, Continued

(c)  Narrative Description of Business, Continued

     Although the Company believes the foregoing discussion is
     sufficient to provide the reader with a general
     understanding of all material aspects of FCC regulations
     that affect the Company, it does not purport to be a
     complete summary of all provisions of the Communications Act
     or FCC rules and policies.  Reference is made to the
     Communications Act, FCC rules and the public notices and
     rulings of the FCC for further information.

     Energy and Environmental Matters

     The Company's source of energy used in its broadcasting
     operations is electricity.  No limitations have been placed
     on the availability of electrical power, and management
     believes its energy sources are adequate.  Management
     believes that the Company is currently in material
     compliance with all statutory and administrative
     requirements as related to environmental quality and
     pollution control.

     Employees

     The Company has no direct employees.  The Company's
     subsidiaries employ 1,170 persons, 836 on a full-time and
     334 on a part-time basis.  Each station has its own
     complement of employees which generally include a general
     manager, sales manager, operations manager, business
     manager, advertising sales staff, on-air personalities and
     clerical personnel.  No employee is represented by a union.

Item 2.  Property Holdings

     The Company owns the office and studio facilities for
WQIK(FM) and WJGR(AM) in Jacksonville, Florida (6,875 square
feet) and the office and studio facilities for WFLZ(FM), WFLA(AM)
and WDUV(FM) in Tampa, Florida (42,882 square feet).  The Company
leases space for the office and studio facilities at its other
station locations in Jacksonville, Florida (two sites of 4,567
and 5,000 square feet, respectively); Atlanta (19,500 square
feet); Denver (25,964 square feet); Cincinnati (27,601 square
feet) and Tampa (6,000 square feet). The two leases in
Jacksonville expire in 1997 and 1998, respectively.  The Denver
and Atlanta leases expire in 1999 and 2007, respectively.  The
Cincinnati lease expires in 1998 and has two five-year renewal
options.  The small Tampa lease is a month-to-month lease for
WBRD(AM).  The Company leases approximately 10,000 square feet
for its corporate offices in Cincinnati under a lease expiring in
1996 with a five-year renewal option.  The office (500 square
feet) for KHTS in San Diego, California is a month-to-month
lease.  In conjunction with the Company's acquisition of radio
station WOFX(FM) (formerly WPPT) in Cincinnati, the Company
purchased the building from which such station previously
operated.  The Company plans to sell this building.

     Expansion of the Company's operations generally comes from
the acquisition of stations and their facilities and ordinarily
does not create a need for additional space at existing
locations, although the emergence of LMAs and JSAs with other
stations in the Company's existing markets could create such a
need.  Any future need for additional office and studio space at
existing locations will be satisfied by the construction of
additions to Company-owned facilities and, in the case of leased
facilities, the lease of additional space or the relocation of
the office and studio.  The Company's office and studio
facilities are all located in downtown or suburban office
buildings and are capable of being relocated in any suitable
office facility in the station market area.

Item 2.  Property Holdings, Continued


     The Company owns the antenna tower and tower site for radio
station WJBT(FM) in Jacksonville, Florida.  The Company also owns
the towers and tower site locations for its AM stations in
Atlanta, Denver, Jacksonville, Tampa, WLW(AM) in Cincinnati and
its back-up tower site for WDUV(FM) in Tampa.  For the tower site
at WCKY(AM), Cincinnati, and for all its other FM stations, the
Company leases tower space for its FM antennae under leases
expiring from 1996 to 2013.  The Company, through a wholly owned
subsidiary, owns the real estate on which the tower sites are
located for XTRA-AM and XTRA-FM, stations to which the Company
provides programming and for which it sells the air time.

     The Company owns substantially all of its equipment,
consisting principally of transmitting antennae, transmitters,
studio equipment and general office equipment.  The towers,
antennae and other transmission equipment used by the Company's
stations are in generally good condition.  In management's
opinion, the quality of the signals range from good to excellent,
and the Company is committed to maintaining and updating its
equipment and transmission facilities in order to achieve the
best possible signal in the market area.

     Although the Company believes its properties are generally
adequate for its operations, opportunities to upgrade facilities
are continuously reviewed.

Statements included elsewhere herein for a description of
encumbrances against the Company's properties and the Company's
rental obligations.




Item 3.  Legal Proceedings

     The Company is a party to various legal proceedings.  In the
opinion of management, all such matters are adequately covered by
insurance, or if not so covered, are without merit or are of such
kind, or involve such amounts, as would not have a significant
effect on the financial position or results of operations of the
Company.

 (2)  Income (loss) per common share for the two years ended
 December 31, 1992 is based on the weighted average number of
 shares of common stock outstanding and gives consideration  to the
 dividend requirements of the convertible preferred     stock and
 accretion of the change in redemption value of    certain common
 stock warrants.  The Company's stock options and convertible
 preferred stock were antidilutive and,  therefore, were not
 included in the computations.  The redeemable common stock  warrants
 were antidilutive for 1992 and were not included in    the
 computations.  Such warrants  were dilutive in 1991 using the
 "equity method" under Emerging Issues Task Force Issue No. 88-9  and,
 therefore, the common shares issuable upon conversion  were
 included in the 1991 computation.  Income per share for     the
 three years ended December 31, 1995 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.  Income (loss) per common share    and weighted
 average shares outstanding for the two years      ended     December
 31, 1992 are adjusted to reflect the 0.0423618 reverse      stock
 split in the Company's common stock effected by the    January 1993
 recapitalization.






(3)  "Broadcast cash flow" means operating income before
     reduction in carrying value of assets, depreciation and
     amortization and corporate general and administrative expenses.
     Broadcast cash flow 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
     broadcast 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.  Broadcast
     cash flow also excludes the effect of corporate general and
     administrative expenses, which generally do not relate directly to
     station performance.  See the Consolidated Statements of Cash
     Flows included on pages 53 and 54 in this annual report for a
     description of the Company's cash flows presented in accordance
     with generally accepted accounting principles and page 47 in this
     annual report for a further discussion of the Company's cash

Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

GENERAL

The performance of a radio station group, such as Jacor, is customarily
measured by its ability to generate broadcast cash flow.  The primary
source of the Company's revenue is the sale of broadcasting time on its
radio stations for advertising.  The Company's significant operating
expenses are employee salaries, sports broadcasting rights fees,
programming expenses, advertising and promotion expenses, rental of
premises for studios and transmitting equipment and music license
royalty fees.  The Company works closely with local station management
to implement cost control measures.

The Company's revenue is affected primarily by the advertising rates
the Company's radio stations are able to charge.  These rates are, in
large part, based on a station's ability to attract audiences in the
demographic groups targeted by its advertisers, as principally measured
by Arbitron Metro Area Ratings Surveys.

Most advertising contracts are short-term and run only for a few weeks.
Most of the Company's revenue is generated from local advertising,
which is sold by the station's sales staff.  In 1995, approximately 85%
of the Company's gross revenues was from local advertising and
approximately 15% was from national advertising.  A station's local
sales staff solicits advertising, either directly from the local
advertiser or through an advertising agency for the local advertiser.
National advertising sales for most of the Company's stations are made
by the Company's national sales managers in conjunction with the
efforts of an independent advertising representative who specializes in
national sales and is compensated on a commission-only basis.

Sports broadcasting and the full-service programming features play an
integral part in the Company's operating strategy.  As a result,
because of the rights fees and related costs of broadcasting
professional baseball, football and hockey, as well as the costs
related to the full-service programming features of its AM radio
stations, the Company's broadcast cash flow margins are typically lower
than its competitors'.



          JACOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES





GENERAL, Continued

The Company's first calendar quarter historically produces the lowest
revenue for the year, and the second and third quarters historically
produce the highest revenue for the year, due in part to revenue
received during the summer months related to the broadcast of Major
League Baseball games.  During 1995, however, the Company recorded
higher broadcast revenue and broadcast operating expenses during the
third and fourth quarters than those recorded during the second quarter
due to the Major League Baseball strike.  As a result of the strike,
second quarter revenue and operating expenses were lower.  For the
entire twelve months of 1995, the strike did not have a material impact
on the Company's station operating income (broadcast revenue less
broadcast operating expenses).

The Company's operating results in any period may be affected by the
incurrence of advertising and promotion expenses that do not produce
commensurate revenues in the period in which the expenses are incurred.
As a result of Arbitron's quarterly reporting of ratings, the Company's
ability to realize revenue as a result of increased advertising and
promotional expenses may be delayed for several months.

The comparability of financial information for the years ended December
31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is affected by the July 1993 purchase of radio
station KBPI-FM (formerly KAZY-FM) in Denver, Colorado; the May 1994
sale of Telesat Cable TV; the June 1995 purchase of radio station WOFX-
FM (formerly WPPT-FM) in Cincinnati, Ohio and interim operation of such
station from April 1994 to June 1995 under a LMA; the August 1995
purchases of radio stations WJBT-FM, WZAZ-AM, and WSOL-FM (formerly
WHJX-FM), each  located in Jacksonville, Florida and WDUV-FM and WBRD-
AM each located in Tampa, Florida.  With these acquisitions, the
Company expects to realize certain cost savings and increased ratings
through format modifications and thereby improve operating results in
these markets.

The acquisitions discussed above and the pending acquisitions of
Citicasters Inc. and Noble Broadcast Group, Inc. will increase the
Company's net revenue, broadcast operating expenses, depreciation and
amortization, corporate general and administrative expenses and
interest expense.  Accordingly, past financial performance should not
be considered a reliable indicator of future performance, and investors
should not use historical trends to anticipate results or trends in
future periods.

GENERAL, Continued

General economic conditions have an impact on the Company's business
and financial results.  From time to time the markets in which the
Company operates experience weak economic conditions that may
negatively affect revenue of the Company.  However, management believes
that this impact is somewhat softened by the Company's diverse
geographical presence.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company began 1995 with no outstanding debt and $27.0 million in
cash and cash equivalents.  During 1995, the Company used $59.8 million
in cash for acquisitions of radio stations and licenses and for loans
made in connection with the Company's JSAs and $21.7 million in cash to
purchase shares of its common stock. These funds came from cash on hand
together with cash provided from operating activities and draws under
the Company's 1993 Credit Agreement aggregating $45.5 million.

During 1995, the Company made capital expenditures of approximately
$5.0 million.  The Company estimates that capital expenditures for 1996
will be approximately $6.0 million which includes approximately $2.5
million to purchase 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 February
1996, the Company entered into the Existing Credit Facility which
provided for a $300.0 million reducing revolving facility that reduces
on a quarterly basis commencing March 31, 1997.  The Existing Credit
Facility bears interest at floating rates based on a Eurodollar rate
and/or a bank base rate.

          JACOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES





LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, Continued

In connection with the acquisition of Citicasters Inc., the Company
anticipates entering into a new credit facility (the "New Credit
Facility") which would provide for availability of $600.0 million
pursuant to a reducing revolving facility that would reduce on a
quarterly basis commencing one year from the date of the facility.  It
is anticipated that the New Credit Facility would bear interest at
floating rates based on a Eurodollar rate or a bank base rate.  The
Company also anticipates that the New Credit Facility will provide the
Company with additional credit for future acquisitions as well as
working capital and other general corporate purposes.

The Company currently expects to fund its acquisition of Noble and
expenditures for capital requirements from available cash balances,
internally generated funds and the availability of borrowings under the
Existing Credit Facility.  The Company anticipates that it will fund
the acquisition of Citicasters Inc. with a combination of funds
provided by the sale of approximately 17,500,000 shares of Jacor common
stock pursuant to a Registration Statement filed on Form S-3 with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 1996 and the New Credit
Facility and excess cash on hand.  These funds together with cash
generated from operations will be sufficient to meet the Company's
liquidity and capital needs for the foreseeable future.

As a result of entering into the Existing Credit Facility in the first
quarter of 1996, the Company will write off approximately $1.6 million
of unamortized cost associated with its 1993 Credit Agreement.  In
connection with entering into the New Credit Facility, the Company
anticipates that it will write off approximately $5.0 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 acquisition of Citicasters Inc.
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

The Year Ended 1995 Compared to The Year Ended 1994

Broadcast revenue for 1995 was $133.1 million, an increase of $13.5
million or 11.3% from $119.6 million during 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 1995 but not during the comparable 1994
period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting results from stations
operated for the entire twelve months of both 1995 and 1994 - broadcast
revenue for 1995 was $125.3 million, an increase of $8.4 million or
7.2% from $116.9 million for 1994.

Agency commissions for 1995 were $14.2 million, an increase of $1.6
million or 12.6% from $12.6 million during 1994 due to the increase in
broadcast revenue.  Agency commissions increased at a greater rate than
broadcast revenue due to a greater proportion of agency sales.

Broadcast operating expenses for 1995 were $87.3 million, an increase
of $6.8 million or 8.5% from $80.5 million during 1994. These expenses
increased as a result of increased selling and other payroll costs,
programming costs and expenses incurred at those properties owned or
operated during 1995 but not during the comparable 1994 period.  On a
"same station" basis, broadcast operating expenses for 1995 were $81.3
million, an increase of $4.2 million or 5.5% from $77.1 million for
1994.

Depreciation and amortization for 1995 and 1994 was $9.5 million and
$9.7 million, respectively.

Operating income for 1995 was $18.6 million, an increase of $5.1
million or 38.1% from an operating income of $13.5 million for 1994.

Interest expense for 1995 was $1.4 million, an increase of $0.9 million
or 170.1% from $0.5 million for 1994.  Interest expense increased due
to an increase in outstanding debt that was incurred in connection with
acquisitions and stock repurchases.

Net income for 1995 was $11.0 million, compared to net income of $7.9
million reported by the Company for 1994.  The 1994 period includes
income tax expense of $6.3 million, while the 1995 period includes $7.3
million of income tax expense.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Year Ended 1994 Compared to The Year Ended 1993

Broadcast revenue for 1994 was $119.6 million, an increase of $18.9
million or 18.8% from $100.7 million during 1993. 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 1994 but not during the comparable 1993
period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting results from stations
operated for the entire twelve months of both 1994 and 1993 - broadcast
revenue for 1994 was $110.7 million, an increase of $11.6 million or
11.6% from $99.1 million for 1993.

Agency commissions for 1994 were $12.6 million, an increase of $1.8
million or 16.8% from $10.8 million during 1993 due to the increase in
broadcast revenue.  Agency commissions increased at a lesser rate than
broadcast revenue due to a greater proportion of direct sales.

Broadcast operating expenses for 1994 were $80.5 million, an increase
of $11.0 million or 15.7% from $69.5 million during 1993.  These
expenses increased as a result of expenses incurred at those properties
owned or operated during 1994 but not during the comparable 1993 period
and, to a lesser extent, increased selling and other payroll costs and
programming costs.  On a "same station" basis, broadcast operating
expenses for 1994 were $72.0 million, an increase of $4.1 million or
6.1% from $67.9 million for 1993.

Depreciation and amortization for 1994 and 1993 was $9.7 million and
$10.2 million, respectively.

Operating income for 1994 was $13.5 million, an increase of $6.9
million or 103.5% from an operating income of $6.6 million for 1993.

Interest expense for 1994 was $0.5 million, a decrease of $2.2 million
or 80.5% from $2.7 million for 1993.  Interest expense declined due to
the reduction in outstanding debt, such debt having been retired from
the proceeds of the Company's November 1993 equity offering.

Net income for 1994 was $7.9 million, compared to net income of $1.4
million reported by the Company for 1993.  The 1993 period includes
income tax expense of $2.7 million, while the 1994 period includes $6.3
million of income tax expense.

CASH FLOWS

Cash flows provided by operating activities, inclusive of working
capital, were $20.6 million, $11.3 million and $9.0 million for 1995,
1994 and 1993, respectively. Cash flows provided by operating
activities in 1995 resulted primarily from the add-back of $9.5 million
of depreciation and amortization expense to net income of $11.0 million
for the period.  Cash flows provided by operating activities in 1994
resulted primarily from net income of $7.9 million generated during the
year.  The additional $3.4 million resulted principally from the excess
of the sum of the depreciation and amortization add-back of $9.7
million, together with the add-back of $1.4 million for provision for
losses on accounts and notes receivable over the net change in working
capital of ($7.6) million.  Cash flows provided by operating activities
in 1993 resulted primarily from the excess of the sum of the
depreciation and amortization add-back of $10.1 million, together with
the $1.4 million of net income generated during the year over the net
change in working capital of ($2.3) million.

Cash flows used by investing activities were ($64.3) million, ($13.7)
million and ($5.5) million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Investing activities include capital expenditures of $5.0 million, $2.2
million and $1.5 million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Investing activities in 1995 and 1994 include expenditures of $59.8
million and $14.6 million, respectively, for acquisitions, the purchase
of intangible assets and loans made in connection with the Company's
JSAs.  In addition, 1994 investing activities were net of $3.2 million
of payments received on notes and from the sale of assets.  Investing
activities in 1993 included expenditures of $3.9 million relating to
the purchase of radio station assets.

Cash flows provided by financing activities were $24.2 million, $0.7
million and $12.8 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993.  Cash flows provided
by financing activities in 1995 resulted primarily from the $45.5
million in borrowings under the 1993 Credit Agreement, together with
$0.8 million in proceeds received from the issuance of common stock to
the Company's employee stock purchase plan and upon the exercise of
outstanding stock options net of the $21.7 million used to repurchase
common stock.  Cash flows from financing activities in 1994 resulted
primarily from the proceeds received from the issuance of common stock
upon the exercise of outstanding stock options.  The cash provided by
financing activities in 1993 principally was due to the refinancing of
the Company's senior debt in March 1993 plus the issuance of additional
common stock, and the payment of restructuring expenses in 1993.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")
issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("FAS") No. 123
"Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  The Company will continue
to apply APB Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its plans as permitted by
this statement.  This statement, however, requires that a company's
financial statements include certain disclosures about stock-based
employee compensation arrangements regardless of the method used to
account for them.  Pro forma disclosures required by a company that
elects to continue to measure compensation cost using APB Opinion No.
25 will be made by the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996.

In March 1995, the FASB issued FAS No. 121 "Accounting for the
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be
Disposed Of."  This statement requires the Company to review for
possible impairment of long-lived assets and certain identifiable
intangibles when circumstances indicate that the carrying value of
these assets may not be recoverable.  The Company will adopt the
statement in the first quarter of 1996, the effect of which will be
immaterial to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements.

                JACOR COMMUNICATIONS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                     


1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS

   Description of Business

   The Company owns and operates 23 radio stations in seven
   metropolitan markets throughout the United States.  On January    11,
1993, the Company completed a recapitalization plan that
substantially modified its debt and capital structure.  Such
recapitalization was accounted for as if it had been completed
January 1, 1993.

   Principles of Consolidation

   The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of Jacor Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries.     All
significant intercompany accounts and transactions have      been
eliminated.

   Revenues

   Revenues for commercial broadcasting advertisements are
recognized when the commercial is broadcast.

   Barter Transactions

   Revenue from barter transactions (advertising provided in
exchange for goods and services) is recognized as income when
advertisements are broadcast, and merchandise or services
received are charged to expense when received or used.  If
merchandise or services are received prior to the broadcast of    the
advertising, a liability (deferred barter revenue) is
   recorded.  If the advertising is broadcast before the receipt    of the
goods or services, a receivable is recorded.

   Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows

   For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the
Company considers all highly liquid investments with a
maturity of three months or less, when purchased, to be cash
equivalents.  Income taxes aggregating $6,662,000, $5,545,000,    and
$100,000 were paid during 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively.  Interest paid was $1,378,000, $381,000, and
$3,107,000 during 1995, 1994, and 1993, respectively.  The       effect
of barter transactions has been eliminated (see Note      12).




   Concentrations of Credit Risk

   Financial instruments which potentially subject the Company to
   concentrations of credit risk consist principally of
temporary cash investments and accounts receivable.
Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts
receivable are limited due to the large number of customers
comprising the Company's customer base and their dispersion      across
many different geographic areas of the country.


   Property and Equipment

   Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated
depreciation; depreciation is provided on the straight-line      basis
over the estimated useful lives of the assets as           follows:

             Land improvements                     20 Years
             Buildings                             25 Years
             Equipment                           3 to 20 Years
             Furniture and fixtures              5 to 12 Years
             Leasehold improvements              Life of lease


   Intangible Assets

   Intangible assets are stated at cost less accumulated
amortization; amortization is provided principally on the
straight-line basis over the following lives:

             Goodwill                            40 Years
             Other intangibles                 5 to 25 Years

   Other intangible assets consist primarily of various contracts
   and purchased intellectual property.

   The carrying value of intangible assets is reviewed by the
   Company when events or circumstances suggest that the
   recoverability of an asset may be impaired.  If this review
indicates that goodwill and licenses will not be recoverable,
   as determined based on the undiscounted cash flows of the
   entity over the remaining amortization period, the carrying
   value of the goodwill and licenses will be reduced
accordingly.




   Use of Estimates

   The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management     to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported
   amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities, at the dates of the
   financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
   and expenses during the reporting periods.  Actual results
   could differ from those estimates.

   Per Share Data

   Income per share for the three years ended December 31, 1995     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 year.  Fully     diluted
income per share is not presented since it               approximates
income per share.


2. ACQUISITION OF LICENSES

   In June 1993, the Company acquired the FCC license and certain
   contracts of radio station WLWA(AM) (formerly WKRC) in
   Cincinnati, Ohio for $1,600,000 in cash.

   In September 1995, the Company exercised its purchase option     to
acquire ownership of the FCC license of radio station KHTS-    FM
(formerly KECR-FM) in San Diego, California for
approximately $13,875,000 in cash.


3. ACQUISITIONS

   In July 1993, the Company completed the acquisition of radio
   station KAZY(FM) in Denver, Colorado from its majority
shareholder.  The majority shareholder had purchased that        station
for $5,500,000 and then sold the station to the          Company in c
consideration of the issuance of shares of the        Company's common
stock having a value, at $5.74 per share, equal to the majority
shareholder's cost for the station plus related acquisition costs.
In connection with the acquisition, 964,006 shares of the Company's
common stock were issued to the majority shareholder.



   Effective January 1, 1994, the Company acquired an interest
   in Critical Mass Media, Inc. ("CMM") from the Company's
   President.  In connection with the transaction, the President
   has the right to put the remaining interest to the Company
   between January 1, 1999 and January 1, 2000 for 300,000 shares
   of the Company's common stock.  If the put is not exercised by
   January 1, 2000, the Company has the right to acquire the
remaining interest prior to 2001 in exchange for 300,000
   shares of the Company's common stock.  In connection with the
acquisition, the Company recorded $3,017,000 in goodwill and a
$2,400,000 obligation included in other liabilities.

   In March 1994, the Company entered into an agreement to          acquire
the assets of radio station WPPT(FM) (formerly
   WIMJ) in Cincinnati, Ohio for $9,500,000 in cash.  Pending
consummation of the transaction (which occurred in June 1995),    the
Company operated the station under a Local Marketing         Agreement
which commenced April 7, 1994, and expired upon        completion of the
purchase.

   In 1994, the Company acquired the call letters, programming      and
certain contracts of radio station KBPI(FM) in Denver,       Colorado and
then changed the call letters of its FM broadcast    station KAZY to KBPI;
the Company acquired the call letters,     programming and certain
contracts of radio station WCKY(AM)
   in Cincinnati, Ohio and then changed the call letters of its     AM
broadcast station WLWA to WCKY; the Company acquired radio    station
KTLK(AM) (formerly KRZN) in Denver, Colorado; and the    Company acquired
radio station WWST(FM) (formerly WWZZ) in       Knoxville, Tennessee.  The
aggregate cash purchase price for
   these acquisitions was approximately $9.5 million.

   In August 1995, the Company acquired certain operating assets    of
radio stations WDUV(FM) and WBRD(AM) in Tampa, Florida for    approximately
$14,000,000 in cash.

   In 1995, the Company acquired the call letters, programming
   and certain contracts of radio station WOFX(FM) in Cincinnati,
   Ohio and then changed the call letters of its FM broadcast
   station WPPT to WOFX.  The Company also acquired radio
stations WSOL(FM) (formerly WHJX), WJBT(FM) and WZAZ(AM) in
Jacksonville, Florida.  The aggregate cash purchase price for
   these acquisitions was approximately $9,750,000.





   All of the above acquisitions have been accounted for as
purchases.  The excess cost over the fair value of net assets
   acquired is being amortized over 40 years.  The results of
   operations of the acquired businesses are included in the
   Company's financial statements since the respective dates of
acquisition.  Assuming each of the 1994 and 1995 acquisitions    had taken
place at the beginning of 1994, unaudited pro forma    consolidated results
of operations would have been as follows:


                                        Pro Forma (Unaudited)
                                       Year Ended December 31,
                                        1995             1994

     Net broadcasting revenue      $121,214,000     $111,232,000

     Net income                      10,423,000        7,115,000

     Net income per share               0.50             0.33



4. DISPOSITION

   In May 1994, the Company completed the sale of the business      and
substantially all the assets of its wholly owned             subsidiary,
Telesat Cable TV, Inc. under a contract dated
   December 1993.  The Company received approximately $2,000,000    in cash
for this sale.

                                      $127,157,762  $ 89,543,301






7.   DEBT AGREEMENT

     The Company's debt obligations at December 31, 1995 consist
     of the following:

          Indebtedness under the Bank Credit
               Agreement (described below) -

                 Senior reducing
                   revolving facility             $ 38,500,000

                 Senior acquisition
                   facility                          7,000,000
                                                  $ 45,500,000

     The Company has an agreement with a group of lenders, as amended (the
     "1993 Credit Agreement"), which provides for a senior reducing
     revolving credit facility with a commitment of $39,550,000 at December
     31, 1995 that expires on December 31, 2000 (the "Revolver") and a
     senior acquisition facility with a commitment of $55,000,000 that
     expires on September 30, 1996 (the "Acquisition Facility"). Both
     facilities are available for acquisitions permitted under conditions
     set forth in the Credit Agreement.
     
     The 1993 Credit Agreement requires that the commitment under the
     Revolver be reduced by $900,000 quarterly during 1996 and by
     increasing quarterly amounts thereafter, and, under certain
     circumstances, requires mandatory prepayments of any outstanding loans
     and further commitment reductions under the 1993 Credit Agreement.
     Amounts outstanding under the Acquisition Facility at September 30,
     1996 are payable in 17 equal quarterly installments.
     
     The indebtedness of the Company under the 1993 Credit Agreement 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, and is guaranteed by those
     subsidiaries.  The 1993 Credit Agreement contains restrictions
     pertaining to maintenance of financial ratios, capital expenditures,
     payment of dividends or distributions of capital stock and incurrence
     of additional indebtedness.




     Interest under the 1993 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 spreads over the Eurodollar rate and such base rate
     vary from time to time, depending upon the Company's financial
     leverage.  The Company will pay quarterly commitment fees equal to
     3/8% per annum on the aggregate unused portion of the aggregate
     commitment on both facilities.  The Company also is required to pay
     certain other fees to the agent and the lenders for the administration
     of the facilities and the use of the Acquisition Facility.

     In accordance with the terms of the 1993 Credit Agreement, the Company
     entered into an interest rate protection agreement in March 1993 on
     the notional amount of $22,500,000 for a three-year term.  This
     agreement provides 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 5.3125%.




8.   CAPITAL STOCK

     During 1995, the Company purchased and retired 1,515,300 shares of its
     own common stock at a cost of $21,693,832.  The Company's Board of
     Directors has authorized the Company to purchase up to an additional
     1,000,000 shares of its own common stock from time to time in open-
     market or negotiated transactions.

     The Company issued 2,014,233 warrants on January 1, 1993 to purchase
     2,014,233 shares of common stock at $8.30 which were recorded at their
     estimated fair value of $0.20 per warrant.  The warrants may be
     exercised at any time prior to January 14, 2000, at which time the
     warrants expire.  During the year ended December 31, 1995, 10,561
     warrants were exercised.



9.   INCOME TAXES

     Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and
     1993 is summarized as follows:

                                Federal      State       Total
     1995:
        Current              $ 6,600,000  $1,260,000  $7,860,000

                             $ 5,293,800  $1,020,000  $6,313,800

     1993:
        Current              $   900,000  $  400,000  $1,300,000
        Deferred               1,300,000     100,000   1,400,000
                             $ 2,200,000  $  500,000  $2,700,000

     The provisions for income tax differ from the amount computed by
     applying the statutory federal income tax rate due to the following:

                                  1995       1994        1993
Federal income taxes

State income taxes, net of any
  current federal income tax
  benefit                        780,000     663,000     330,000
Other                           (478,925)     86,802     558,269
                              $7,300,000  $6,313,800  $2,700,000

     The tax effects of the significant temporary differences which
     comprise the deferred tax liability at December 31, 1995, 1994 and
     1993 are as follows:

                                 1995        1994        1993

          Net Liability      $ 8,617,456 $ 9,177,456 $ 7,900,000

10.  STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
     Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 "Accounting for
     Stock-Based Compensation."  The Company will continue to apply APB
     Opinion No. 25 in accounting for its plans as permitted by this
     statement.  This statement, however, requires that a company's
     financial statements include certain disclosures about stock-based
     employee compensation arrangements regardless of the method used to
     account for them.  Pro forma disclosures required by a company that
     elects to continue to measure compensation cost using APB Opinion No.
     25 will be made by the Company for the year ended December 31, 1996.
     
     At December 31, 1995, the Company has three stock-based compensation
     plans, which are described below.  The Company applies APB Opinion 25
     in accounting for its plans.  Accordingly, no compensation cost has
     been recognized for its fixed stock option plans and its stock
     purchase plan.
     
     1993 Stock Option Plan

     Under the Company's 1993 stock option plan, options to acquire up to
     2,769,218 shares of common stock can be granted to officers and key
     employees at no less than the fair market value of the underlying
     stock on the date of grant.  The plan permits the granting of non-
     qualified stock options as well as incentive stock options.      The
     options vest 30% upon grant, 30% upon the first anniversary of the
     grant date and 20% per year for each of the next two years thereafter
     and expire 10 years after grant.  The plan will terminate no later
     than February 7, 2003.  Information pertaining to the plan for the
     years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993 is as follows:

     The Company has granted nonqualified stock options to purchase up to
     65,000 shares of the Company's common stock to certain members of the
     Company's Board of Directors.  These options vest 30% upon grant, 30%

     of the next two years thereafter.  Options to purchase up to 40,000
     shares must be exercised in full prior to May 28, 1998 while the
     remaining options must be exercised in full prior to December 15,
     2004.  The exercise price of these options ranges from $5.74 per share
     to $14.34 per share.

     Under the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, the Company is authorized
     to issue up to 200,000 shares of common stock to its full-time and
     part-time employees, all of whom are eligible to participate.  Under
     the terms of the Plan, employees can choose each year to have up to 10
     percent of their annual base earnings withheld to purchase the
     Company's common stock.  The purchase price of the stock is 85 percent
     of the lower of its beginning-of-year or end-of-year market price.
     Under the Plan, the Company sold 43,785 shares to employees in 1995 at
     a purchase price of $10.84 per share.



11.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     Lease Obligations

     The Company and its subsidiaries lease certain land and facilities
     used in their operations, including local marketing agreements for

14.  SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     Acquisitions
     
     In February 1996, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire
     Noble Broadcast Group, Inc. ("Noble"), for   $152,000,000 in cash.
     Noble owns 10 radio stations, 4 of which serve Denver, Colorado, with
     3 each serving St. Louis, Missouri and Toledo, Ohio; and provides
     programming to and sells air time for two stations serving the San
     Diego market.  The broadcast signals for the stations serving the San
     Diego market originate from Mexico.  The agreement is subject to the
     approval of the Federal Communications Commission and the satisfaction
     of certain other conditions.  Pending consummation of the transaction,
     the Company entered into Time Brokerage Agreements for the stations in
     St. Louis and Toledo which began February 21, 1996, and will expire on
     the purchase date.  The Company will finance this acquisition from the
     proceeds of a new credit facility discussed below.
     
     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, Georgia;
     Cincinnati and Columbus, Ohio; Kansas City, Kansas and Missouri;
     Phoenix, Arizona; Portland, Oregon; Sacramento, California; and Tampa,
     Florida.  The television stations serve Cincinnati, Ohio and Tampa,
     Florida.  The agreement is subject to the approval of the Federal
     Communications Commission and the satisfaction of certain other
     conditions.  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.
     
     Jacor will pay $29.50 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 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.
     
     
     
     
     
     New Credit Agreement
     
     On February 20, 1996 the Company entered into a new credit facility.
     The Company's new senior debt consists of two facilities (the
     "Facilities") provided under an agreement (the "Existing Credit
     Facility") with ten banks: a $190,000,000 reducing revolving credit
     facility ("Revolving A Loans") and a $110,000,000 reducing revolving
     credit facility ("Revolving B Loans").  Both facilities mature on
     December 31, 2003.  The indebtedness of the Company under the
     Facilities 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, and is guaranteed by those
     subsidiaries.
     
     The Revolving A Loans will be used primarily to refinance existing
     debt and to complete the Noble acquisition.  The Revolving B Loans
     will be used to finance acquisitions, stock repurchases and for
     working capital and other general corporate purposes.
     
     The commitment under the Revolving A Loans will be reduced by
     $2,500,000 each quarter commencing January 1, 1997 and by increasing
     quarterly amounts in each succeeding year.  The commitment under the
     Revolving B Loans will be reduced by $5,000,000 for each quarter
     commencing January 1, 1998.
     
     The Company is required to make mandatory prepayments of the
     Facilities equal to (i) net proceeds from any debt offerings, (ii) 50%
     of net proceeds from any equity offerings to bring the Company's
     leverage ratio down to 5 to 1, (iii) 50% of excess cash flow, as
     defined, beginning in 1997, and (iv) net after tax proceeds received
     from asset sales or other dispositions.
     
     
     
     
     
     Interest under the Facilities is payable, at the option of the
     Company, at alternative rates equal to the Eurodollar rate plus 1% to
     2 3/4% or the base rate announced by Banque Paribas plus up to 1 1/2%.
     The spreads over the Eurodollar rate and such base rate vary from time
     to time, depending upon the Company's financial leverage.  The Company
     will pay quarterly commitment fees of 3/8% to 1/2% per annum on the
     unused portion of the commitment on both Facilities depending on the
     Company's financial leverage.  The Company also is required to pay
     certain other fees to the agent and the lenders for the administration
     of the Facilities.
     
     The Existing Credit Facility contains a number of covenants which,
     among other things, require the Company to maintain specified
     financial ratios and impose certain limitations on the Company with
     respect to (i) the incurrence of additional indebtedness; (ii)
     investments and acquisitions, except under specified conditions; (iii)
     the incurrence of additional liens; (iv) the disposition of assets;
     (v) the payment of cash dividends; (vi) capital expenditures; and
     (vii) mergers, changes in business, and transactions with affiliates.

successors are duly elected and qualified.  The Board of Directors has

     As of March 15, 1996, 241 employees were participating in
the 1996 annual offering under the Stock Purchase Plan, options
to purchase 51,479 shares of the Company's Common Stock were
outstanding under the Stock Purchase Plan, 186 employees had
participated in the 1995 annual offering under the Stock Purchase
Plan, 43,785 shares had been issued pursuant to options exercised
under the Stock Purchase Plan and 104,736 shares were available
for future grants and purchases.

Director Compensation

     Directors who are not employees of the Company receive an
annual fee of $10,000 and a fee of $1,000 plus travel expenses
for each Board of Directors meeting attended.  For each Board of
Directors meeting missed, $1,000 is deducted from the director's
annual fee.

     In February 1996, the Company granted nonqualified stock
options to purchase up to 5,000 shares of the Company's Common
Stock to each of Messrs. Alexander, Dammeyer, Handy and Lasry and
to Mrs. Rosenberg at a minimum exercise price of $17.25 per
share.  These options are exercisable for ten years from the
grant date and vest 30% upon grant, 30% upon the first
anniversary of the grant date and 20% per year for each of the
next two years thereafter. The exercise price of the options that
vested upon grant is $17.25 per share, and the options that
subsequently vest on each anniversary date of the grant have an
exercise price 4% greater than the options that vested in the
previous year.  Once an option vests, the exercise price for that
option is fixed for the remaining term of the option.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

     In 1995, Messrs. Dammeyer and Schulte and Mrs. Rosenberg
were non-employee directors of the Company and comprised the
Company's entire Compensation Committee.  No executive officer of
the Company serves on any board of directors or compensation
committee of any entity which compensates any of Messrs. Dammeyer
and Schulte and Mrs. Rosenberg.  Mr. Schulte is a principal of
Zell/Chilmark, a merchant banking firm, which invested over
$73,000,000 in capital in the Company in the Company's January
1993 restructuring and other transactions.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
   
     Effective January 1, 1994, a subsidiary of the Company and a
corporation wholly-owned by Randy Michaels, the President of the Company,
formed a limited partnership (the "Partnership") in a transaction whereby
the Partnership now owns all of the stock of Critical Mass Media, Inc., a
marketing research and radio consulting business.  Mr. Michaels'
corporation owns a 95% limited partnership interest in the Partnership.
The Company's subsidiary obtained a 5% general partnership interest in
exchange for its contribution of approximately $126,000 cash to the
Partnership.  The Company initiated this transaction primarily to allow Mr.
Michaels to focus his full time and energy on the Company and its business
and the Company's subsidiary is now the sole manager of the Partnership's
business.

     In connection with the formation of the Partnership, the Company
agreed that Mr. Michaels' corporation has the right between January 1, 1999
and January 1, 2000 to put its limited partnership interest to the
Partnership's general partner in exchange for 300,000 shares of the
Company's Common Stock.  If the put is not exercised by January 1, 2000,
the general partner has the right to call the limited partnership interest
prior to the year 2001 in exchange for 300,000 shares of the Company's
Common Stock.  In addition, if certain events occur prior to January 1,1999
including, without limitation, Mr. Michaels' termination as President of
the Company, a reduction of Mr. Michaels' annual base salary by more than
10%, generally any transaction by which any person or group other than
Zell/Chilmark shall become the owner of more than 30% of the outstanding
voting securities of the Company or Zell/Chilmark fails to have its
designees constitute at least a majority of the members of the Company's
Board of Directors, then Mr. Michaels' corporation will have the right to
either (a) purchase the Company's general partnership interest at a price
generally equal to the balance of the partnership capital account, or (b)
sell its limited partnership interest to the general partner in exchange
for 300,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock.

     In 1994, the Company entered into a real estate lease for new office
space for its Atlanta operations from an affiliate of Zell/Chilmark.  The
annual rental rate is approximately $330,000. The Company believes that the
terms of such lease were negotiated at arm's length and were competitive
with prevailing market rates for similar space in the Atlanta market.
During 1995, the Company also paid legal fees to the law firm of Rosenberg
& Liebentritt, P.C., of which firm Mrs. Rosenberg, a director of the

CINCINNATI,  FEBRUARY 13 - Jacor Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: JCOR), owner
and operator of radio stations in seven U.S. markets, today reported a 19-
percent increase in broadcast cash flow for the twelve months ended
December 31, 1995 and an 18-percent increase in broadcast cash flow for the
fourth quarter of 1995.

Jacor's broadcast cash flow for the 1995 twelve-month period rose 19
percent to $31.6 million from $26.5 million in the same twelve-month period
of 1994.  Fourth quarter broadcast cash flow rose 18 percent to $9.7
million in 1995 from $8.2 million in the same quarter of 1994.  Net
revenues for the twelve-month period rose 11 percent to $118.9 million from
$107.0 million in the 1994 period.  Fourth quarter 1995 net revenues rose
10 percent to $31.7 million from $28.7 million in the 1994 period.

On a "same station" basis - reflecting results from stations operated in
the twelve months of both 1995 and 1994 - Jacor's broadcast cash flow rose
11 percent to $30.5 million for the twelve months of 1995 from $27.4
million in the same period last year.  Broadcast cash flow on the "same
station" basis for the fourth quarter of 1995 rose 9 percent to $9.1
million from $8.3 million for the fourth quarter of 1994.

The company reported net income of $11.0 million or 52 cents per share,
during the twelve months of 1995.  Results for the same period last year
reflected net income of $7.9 million, or 37 cents per share.  Net income
for the fourth quarter of 1995 was $3.2 million or 16 cents per share.
Results for the fourth quarter of 1994 reflected net income of $3.1 million
or 14 cents per share.

Randy Michaels, Jacor president and co-chief operating officer said, "1995
was another strong growth year for Jacor, in spite of a weak baseball
market due to baseball's continued labor troubles. 1995 was also a year of
significant investment spending, mostly within Jacor's current markets.
These investments, combined with Jacor's recently announced acquisitions
and Telecommunications reform have set up 1996 to be another year of
exceptional growth."

Jacor Communications, Inc., headquartered in Cincinnati, is the nation's
eighth largest radio group.  The Company plans to pursue growth through
continued acquisitions of complementary stations in its existing markets,
and radio groups or individual stations with significant presence in the
top 25 markets.
