                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


          1.  Basis of Presentation

              The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information.  Accordingly, they do not include all the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for completed financial statements.  In the opinion of management, the
statements include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim
periods.  The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of the results for a full year.

              It is suggested that these consolidated financial statements be
read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto
included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994, as filed with the Commission.

ITEM 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
          RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Results of Operations

          The Company's net broadcasting revenues increased 3.6% to $3,749,000
in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from $3,620,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1994, and declined 3.8% to $1,292,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1995 from $1,344,000 in the three months ended September
30, 1994.  Net revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 as compared
with the 1994 period increased as a result of higher net revenues at the
Company's Flint, Michigan radio stations.  This increase was offset in part by
the absence in the 1995 period of any net revenues from a radio station in
Southampton, New York, formerly owned by the Company and sold  in August 1994.
Net revenues increased in the Flint stations as a result of higher local and
national advertising revenues generated by increased economic activity in the
market and nationally.  Net revenues declined in the three months ended
September 30, 1995 as compared with the 1994 period because the absence of any
Southampton revenues in the 1995 period offset net revenue increases in Flint.
However, the Flint net revenue increases in the third quarter of 1995 were
minimal as a result of softer  advertising activity in the market and
nationally in the 1995 third quarter, as compared with the rate of increases
experienced in the first six months of 1995.

          Operating expenses before depreciation, amortization and corporate
expenses increased by 3.9% to $2,189,000 in the nine months ended September 30,
1995 from $2,106,000 in the comparable 1994 period, and by 8.3% to $764,000 in
the three months ended September 30, 1995 from $705,000 in the three months
ended September 30, 1994.  In the nine month and three month periods ended
September 30, 1995 as compared with the same periods in 1994, expenses
increased as a result of increased operating expenses in both 1995 periods at
the Flint stations, offset by the absence in the 1995 periods of operating
expenses in the Southampton station formerly owned by the Company.  Operating
expenses increased in Flint in both 1995 periods due to higher promotion and
advertising expense, the cost of new syndicated programming and higher variable
sales expense related to higher revenue levels.

          Net broadcasting revenues in excess of operating expenses before
depreciation, amortization and corporate expenses ("broadcast cash flow")
increased 3.1% to $1,560,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 from
$1,514,000 in the comparable 1994 period, and declined 17.2% to $529,000 in the
three months ended September 30, 1995 from $639,000 in the 1994 period.  The
increase in the nine months ended September 30, 1995 resulted from higher
broadcast cash flow in Flint, offset by the absense in the 1995 period of any
broadcast cash flow from Southampton.  The decrease in the three months ended
September 30, 1995 was due to lower broadcast cash flow in Flint as compared
with the 1994 period, and the absence of any broadcast cash flow from
Southampton in the 1995 period.





                                       8

          Corporate expenses increased by 19.4% to $219,000 in the nine months
ended September 30, 1995 from $184,000 in the comparable 1994 period, and
declined by 18.7% to $67,000 in the third quarter of 1995 from $83,000 in the
comparable period in 1994.  The increase in the 1995 nine month period was a
result of higher payments for employee compensation and professional fees and
the decrease in the 1995 third quarter resulted principally from lower
professional fees.

          Interest expense increased by 9.3% to $613,000 in the first nine
months of 1995 from $561,000 in the corresponding period in 1994, and by 8.0%
to $202,000 in the third quarter of 1995 from $187,000 in the comparable period
in 1994.  These increases resulted from higher principal amounts of interest
bearing debt outstanding and higher interest rates during the 1995 periods.

          The nine months and three months ended September 30, 1995 contain no
gain from sale of radio stations.  Such gain, in the amount of $891,000, was
contained in both of the comparable 1994 periods, reflecting the sale in August
1994 of the Southampton radio station formerly owned by the Company.

          Preferred stock dividend requirement of subsidiaries decreased by
100.0% to zero in the nine months and the three months ended September 30, 1995
from $149,000 and $30,000, respectively, in the comparable periods of 1994.
These decreases resulted from the extinguishment of the preferred stock in a
former subsidiary of the Company as a result of the sale of the Company's
former station in Southampton in August 1994.

          In the nine months and three months ended September 30, 1995 a
provision for appraisal rights of $438,000 was recorded to increase the
appraisal rights liability from $712,000 to $1,150,000.  This resulted from
management's opinion that the value of its Flint stations, to which the
appraisal rights relate, increased during the 1995 nine month and three month
periods.

          As a result principally of the $891,000 gain from sale of a radio
station contained in the comparable 1994 periods and not present in the nine
months and three months ended September 30, 1995, and the $438,000 appraisal
rights provisions in the 1995 periods not present in the 1994 periods, net
income declined to $61,000 from $1,278,000 and to a loss of $(256,000) from net
income of $1,130,000, respectively.  The gain from sale of a radio station
accounted for $.12 of the primary and fully diluted per share earnings in the
nine and three month periods ended September 30, 1994.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          In the nine months ended September 30, 1995, net cash provided by
operating activities was $576,000 compared with $486,000 in the comparable 1994
period.  Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was $3,000 in 1995 compared
with a net decrease of $37,000 in 1994.  The net decrease in cash and cash
equivalents in the 1995 period was due primarily to capital





                                       9
<PAGE>   10

expenditures for a building addition for increased sales and office space and
for studio alterations at the Company's Flint facilities.

          Historically, the Company's net cash provided by operating activities
is lower in its first and second quarters, and the Company expects such net
cash to increase in the balance of 1995.

          Based upon current interest rates, the Company believes its interest
expense for the balance of 1995 will be approximately $239,000.  Scheduled debt
principal payments are $121,000.  Corporate expenses and capital expenditures
for the remainder of 1995 are estimated to be approximately $131,000 and
$3,000, respectively.  The Company expects to be able to meet such interest
expense, debt repayment, corporate expenses and capital expenditures,
aggregating $494,000, from net cash provided by operations and current cash
balances.

          The Company is examining various alternatives for obtaining funds for
station acquisitions.  No assurance can be given that the Company will
successfully consummate any such acquisitions or any such financing.
