                            Notes to Combined Financial Statements
                                       June 28, 1998

Note 1.    General
           -------

    The accompanying unaudited combined quarterly financial information
includes the accounts of SF Broadcasting for the three and six months ended
June 28, 1998 and June 29, 1997, and have been prepared, without audit, in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.  The combined financial statements presented herein include all
material adjustments (consisting of normal and recurring matters) which are, in
the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the financial
position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods.  However,
these results are not necessarily indicative of results for any other interim
period or for the results that may be expected for the full year.  Certain
information and footnote disclosures in connection with the unaudited combined
quarterly financial information that would normally be included in financial
statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
been omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission.

Note 2.   Subsequent Event
          ----------------

    On July 16, 1998, SF Broadcasting sold substantially all of its assets to
Emmis Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries ("Emmis") for a cash purchase
price of $307 million.  SF Broadcasting received cash of $282 million and a 
one-year $25 million promissory note bearing interest at 8.0%.  A portion of 
the proceeds from the sale were used to retire amounts outstanding under the 
broadcast facility.

                     Emmis Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries
               Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information

    The accompanying financial information presents the unaudited pro forma
condensed consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Communications Corporation (f/k/a
Emmis Broadcasting Corporation) and Subsidiaries ("Emmis" or the "Company") as
of May 31, 1998 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of
operations for the year ended February 28, 1998 and the three month period
ended May 31, 1998. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance
sheet reflects (i) the offering and sale by Emmis of 4.6 million shares of its
Class A Common Stock (the "Offering") and the execution and funding of a new
credit facility (the "New Credit Facility") to replace Emmis' existing credit
facility (the "Prior Credit Facility"), (ii) the June 5, 1998 acquisition by
Emmis of radio station WQCD-FM, New York, New York from Tribune New York Radio,
Inc. for a cash purchase price of approximately $141 million after adjustments
(the "WQCD Acquisition), and (iii) the July 16, 1998 acquisition by Emmis of
substantially all the assets of television stations WVUE-TV, New Orleans,
Louisiana; WALA-TV, Mobile, Alabama; WLUK-TV, Green Bay, Wisconsin; and KHON-TV,
Honolulu, Hawaii for a cash purchase price of approximately $307 million
after adjustments (the "SF Acquisition" or "SF Stations"), as if such
transactions had occurred as of May 31, 1998.

    The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of
the Company for the year ended February 28, 1998 reflects adjustments to the
condensed consolidated historical operating data of the Company to give effect
to (i) the acquisition of WKKX-FM, WALC-FM, WALC-AM, WTLC-FM, WTLC-AM and Texas
Monthly ("the Consummated Acquisitions") and the disposition of WALC-AM, all of
which occurred during the year ended February 28, 1998, (ii) the New Credit
Facility, and the Offering, (iii) the WQCD Acquisition, and (iv) the SF
Acquisition, as if such transactions had occurred as of March 1, 1997.  The
unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations of the
Company for the three month period ended May 31, 1998 reflects adjustments to
the condensed consolidated historical operating data of the Company to give
effect to (i) the New Credit Facility and the Offering, (ii) the WQCD
Acquisition, and (iii) the SF Acquisition, as if such transactions had occurred
as of March 1, 1998.

    Preparation of the pro forma condensed consolidated financial information
was based on assumptions deemed appropriate by management.  The assumptions
give effect to the acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  The pro forma
condensed consolidated financial information is unaudited and is not
necessarily indicative of the results which actually would have occurred if the
financing activities, the acquisitions and disposition had been consummated at
the beginning of the periods presented, nor does it purport to represent the
future financial position and results of operations for future periods.  The
pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the historical
financial statements of (i) Emmis Broadcasting Corporation and Subsidiaries'
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended February 28, 1998, (ii) Tribune
New York Radio, Inc. (WQCD-FM) for the year ended December 28, 1997 which
appears in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 7, 1998, and
(iii) SF Broadcasting of Wisconsin, Inc. and SF Multistations, Inc. and
Subsidiaries for the year ended December 28, 1997 which appears in the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed May 7, 1998.

   the Prior Credit Facility and to pay costs associated with the New Credit

  collateral for the promissory note is $25,000 of the Company's Class A
  Common Stock.  At the option of the Company, the promissory note may be
  paid with either cash or an equivalent amount of the Company's Class A
  Common Stock.  The Company intends to pay this obligation in cash.  The

  assets) based on a preliminary appraisal.  The remaining residual purchase
  price is allocated to broadcast licenses.

(1)   Adjustments for pro forma interest expense for the year ended February
    28, 1998 assume a weighted average interest rate of 7.964% resulting from
    borrowings under the New Credit Facility, assuming the Consummated
    Acquisitions/Disposition, the WQCD Acquisition, and the SF Acquisition had
    occurred as of the beginning of the year.

(2)   Calculated using a statutory tax rate of 40% of taxable income.

(3)   Includes the Consummated Acquisitions and the disposition of WALC-AM,
    assuming the acquisitions and disposition occurred at the beginning of the
    year.

(4)   Reflects elimination of interest expense and amortization of debt
    issuance costs and interest rate caps resulting from repayment of
    borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility by application of $173,900
    million of the assumed net proceeds of the Offering and repayment of
    remaining borrowings under the Prior Credit Facility ($41,100 million) by
    borrowings under the New Credit Facility. 

(5)   Reflects amortization of debt issuance costs and interest rate caps
    related to entering into the New Credit Facility.

(6)   Reflects issuance of 4.6 million shares of Class A Common Stock at $42.00
    per share resulting from the Offering.

(7)   Reflects twelve months of pro forma depreciation of property and
    equipment and amortization of intangibles and television program righs
    resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the stations.

(8)   Reflects the historical results of WQCD-FM in New York City for the
    period from March 1, 1997 to June 30, 1997.  Actual operating results for
    the period from July 1, 1997 to February 28, 1998 are reflected in
    historical operations because the Company began operating the station on
    July 1, 1997 under a time brokerage agreement.  The time brokerage fees
    have been eliminated for pro forma purposes.

(9)   Pro forma interest expense reflects the cash purchase price of the radio
    station of $141,000 less $13,000 for adjustments relating to taxes.  The
    net purchase price was funded 100% by borrowings under the New Credit
    Facility.

(10)  Represents the historical operating results of the SF Stations for the
    year ended December 28, 1997.

(11)  Pro forma interest expense reflects the cash purchase price of the
    stations of $307,000 plus interest associated with purchase accounting
    adjustments.  The purchase price was funded by a $25,000 promissory note
    to the sellers bearing interest at 8.0% and $282,000 in borrowings under
    the New Credit Facility.

(12)  Due to net loss, weighted average common shares outstanding for diluted
    net income (loss) per share is the same as weighted average common shares
    outstanding for basic net income (loss) per share.
