ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS
Jacor Communications, Inc. ("Jacor") has confirmed reports that it may be
interested in an acquisition transaction involving American Radio Systems
("ARS"). Jacor spokeswoman, Pam Taylor, said "I would certainly include Jacor
in the list of names that have an interest in American Radio Systems. We have
similar strategies of being in similar clusters. We think very highly of Steve
Dodge and his people."
If any transaction were to be entered into relating to ARS, such
transaction would likely be material to Jacor. Jacor continues to pursue its
growth strategy and is also engaged in preliminary discussions with owners of
numerous other broadcasting businesses. There can be no assurances that Jacor
will successfully complete all or any such transactions or what the consequences
thereof would be.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the
