          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

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, 1995, 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 decreased 12.8% to
$2,143,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from $2,456,000 in the six
months ended June 30, 1995, and 18.9% to $1,207,000 in the three months ended
June 30, 1996 from $1,488,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1995. Net
revenues in the six months and three months ended June 30, 1996 as compared
with the 1995 periods decreased primarily due to lower regional and national
advertising activity in the Flint, Michigan radio market and resulting lower
regional and national advertising revenues at the Company's Flint radio
stations.

          Operating expenses before depreciation, amortization and corporate
expenses increased by 0.7% to $1,434,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996
from $1,425,000 in the comparable 1995 period, and decreased by 1.8% to
$730,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $744,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 1995.

          Net broadcasting revenues in excess of operating expenses before
depreciation, amortization and corporate expenses (broadcast cash flow)
decreased 31.3% to $709,000 in the six months ended June 30, 1996 from
$1,031,000 in the comparable 1995 period, and 36.0% to $476,000 in the three
months ended June 30, 1996 from $744,000 in the 1995 period. These decreases
resulted from the above-described net broadcasting revenue decreases in the
1996 periods compared with 1995.

          Corporate expenses increased by 13.0% to $172,000 in the six months
ended June 30, 1996 from $152,000 in the comparable 1995 period, primarily as
a result of higher payments for employee compensation, professional fees and
rental expense in the 1996 period. Such employee compensation for the 1996
period included incentive payments indexed to 1995 operating results.

          Interest expense decreased by 13.8% to $354,000 in the first six
months of 1996 from $411,000 in the corresponding period in 1995, and by 19.0%
to $167,000 in the second quarter of 1996 from $207,000 in the comparable
period in 1995. These decreases resulted from lower principal amounts of
interest bearing debt outstanding and lower interest rates during the 1996
periods.

          As a result principally of lower net broadcasting revenues and
higher depreciation and amortization expense, offset in part by lower interest
expense, net income declined to a loss of $1,900 in the six months ended June
30, 1996 from net income of $317,000 in the first six months of 1995, and to
$135,000 in the three months ended June 30, 1996 from $363,000 in the
comparable period of 1995.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

          In the six months ended June 30, 1996, net cash used in operating
activities was $22,000 compared with $236,000 provided by operating activities
in the comparable 1995 period. Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents was
$291,000 in 1996 compared with a net decrease of $196,000 in 1995.

          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 1996.

          Based upon current interest rates, the Company believes its interest
expense for the balance of 1996 will be approximately $400,000. Scheduled debt
principal payments are $246,000. Corporate expenses and capital expenditures
for the remainder of 1996 are estimated to be approximately $189,000 and
$67,000, respectively. The Company expects to be able to meet such interest
expense, debt repayment, corporate expenses and capital expenditures,
aggregating $902,000, 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 financing.
