(b) Pro forma financial information:

        UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements
give effect to the acquisition of Paxson Radio, herein after referred to as
("the Acquisition"). For accounting purposes the Acquisition has been accounted
for as a purchase of Paxson Radio by the Company; accordingly the assets of
Paxson Radio have been adjusted to their estimated fair values based upon a
preliminary purchase price allocation.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of operations for the
nine months ended September 30, 1997 and for the year ended December 31, 1996
give effect to the Acquisition as if it had occurred at the beginning of each
period presented. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet
at September 30, 1997 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it occurred on
September 30, 1997.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the historical financial statements of The Company as
filed in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1996, and the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, and the historical financial statements of Paxson Radio
included under Item 7 (a).

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not
necessarily indicative of the actual results of operations or financial
position that would have occurred had the Acquisition and transactions of The
Company and Paxson Radio occurred on the dates indicated nor are they
necessarily indicative of future operating results or financial position.

   (a)  Increase in amortization of goodwill of $20,818 resulting from the                   
        additional goodwill created by the acquisition and a decrease in
        amortizable life from 40 years (Eller Media) to 25 years (Clear
        Channel) and additional depreciation of $3,077 related to the

   (b)  Increase in interest expense due to a higher amount of average debt
        outstanding which was partially offset by a lower average interest rate
        (6.2% average rate for Clear Channel and 8.8% for Eller Media in 1996).                  (10,071)

   (c)  Tax effect of the above adjustments to depreciation and interest expense
        at Clear Channel's effective tax rate of 40%                                               5,259

   (d)  Increase in weighted average common and common share equivalents
        outstanding resulting from the issuance of shares of Clear Channel's
        common stock and the issuance of options to purchase shares of Clear
        Channel's common stock to shareholders of Eller Media to effect the
        acquisition.                                                                               7,835
</TABLE>


Clear Channel granted to the former Eller Media stockholders certain demand and
piggyback registration rights relating to the shares of common stock received by
them. The holders of the approximately 7% of the outstanding capital stock of
Eller Media, not purchased by Clear Channel, have the right to put such stock to
Clear Channel for 1,081,469 shares of Clear Channel's common stock until April
10, 2002. From and after April 10, 2004, Clear Channel will have the right to
call in this minority interest stake in Eller Media for 1,081,469 shares of its
common stock. If such right would have been exercised on April 10, 1997, Clear
Channel would have issued additional shares of its common stock with an
aggregate value of $48.5 million (assuming a price of $44.8625 per share) and
recorded a corresponding increase in goodwill. The annual amortization of
goodwill associated therewith would decrease Clear Channel's net income by $1.9
million or $.02 per share; however such would have no effect on after tax cash
flow. A $1 per share change in the market price of Clear Channel's common stock
would cause a $1.1 million change in goodwill.

The pro forma statement of operations excludes the effect of nonrecurring
charges related to the acquisition.
