Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On July 31, 1995, ML Media Partners, L.P. ("Registrant")
completed the sale to Quincy Newspapers, Inc. (The "WREX Buyer")
of substantially all of the assets used in the operations of
Registrant's television station WREX-TV, Rockford, Illinois
("WREX"), other than cash and accounts receivable.  The WREX
Buyer did not assume the accounts payable and certain other
liabilities of WREX and Registrant will remain liable for such
liabilities.  The purchase price for the assets was approximately
$18.4 million, subject to certain adjustments.  A reserve of
approximately $2.3 million was established to cover certain
purchase price adjustments and expenses and liabilities relating
to the sale, and the balance of approximately $16.1 million was
applied to repay a portion of the bank indebtedness secured by
the assets of WREX and KATC.

On September 30, 1995, Registrant completed the sale to KATC
Communications, Inc. (the "KATC Buyer") of substantially all of
the assets used in the operations of Registrant's television
station KATC-TV, Lafayette, Louisiana ("KATC"), other than cash
and accounts receivable.  The KATC Buyer did not assume the
accounts payable and certain other liabilities of KATC and
Registrant will remain liable for such liabilities.  The purchase
price for the assets was $24.5 million.  Proceeds of the sale
will be applied to repay in full the remaining bank indebtedness
of approximately $6.0 million secured by the assets of KATC and
to pay (or reserve for payment) expenses and liabilities relating
to the sale (the amount of which cannot be presently determined)
as well as other debts and obligations of Registrant, including
all or a portion of deferred fees and expenses owed to the
General Partner.  As of June 30, 1995, deferred fees and expenses
owed to the General Partner totaled approximately $15.3 million.
The amount and timing of a distribution of the remaining
proceeds, if any, from the sale of KATC will be made in
accordance with the terms of the Registrant's Partnership
Agreement.

Item 7.(b) Financial Statements and Exhibits-Pro forma financial
information.

                    ML  MEDIA PARTNERS, L.P.
            PRO FORMA CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           (UNAUDITED)

The following unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements
give effect to the sale of WREX and KATC, as described in Item 2
herein, as if such transactions had occurred at (i) January 1,
1994 (the first day of fiscal year 1994) for the Pro Forma
Condensed Statements of Operations and (ii) June 30, 1995 for the
Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet.  The Pro Forma Condensed
Statements of Operations do not reflect a gain of approximately
$7.1 on the sale of WREX's assets and a gain of approximately
$9.8 on the sale of KATC's assets.  In addition, the Pro Forma
Condensed Statements of Operations reflect no interest earned on
the sales proceeds.  The Pro Forma Condensed Balance Sheet does
not reflect the amount of a distribution, if any, or other
application (including to pay deferred fees and expenses owed to
the General Partner) of the remaining proceeds, if any, from the
sales which will be made in accordance with Registrant's
Partnership Agreement.

The Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements are based on
historical financial information of Registrant for the periods
referred to above.  Pro Forma adjustments are described in the
accompanying notes.  The Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements
should be read in conjunction with the historical financial
statements, the notes thereto and the discussion of these
transactions included elsewhere in this filing.

The Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements are presented for
informational purposes only and are not necessarily indicative of
what the actual results of operations would have been had the
transactions occurred as of the beginning of the respective
periods referred to above, nor do they purport to indicate the
results of future operations of Registrant.  In the General
Partner's opinion, all adjustments necessary to present fairly
such Pro Forma Condensed Financial Statements have been made.
