following items,  financial statements, exhibits or other
portions  of its  Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 10,
1996,  as  set forth in the pages attached hereto:

Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On  May  3, 1996, the Registrant acquired substantially
all the assets  of  radio stations  KNAX-FM/KRBT-FM,  Fresno,
California  from  EBE Broadcasting, L.P.  Consideration
for the  acquisition  consisted  of $6.0  million  plus
120,000 shares  of  the Registrant's common stock. In
addition,  the seller  received  an  option  to  purchase
shares  of   the Registrant's common stock at $8.00 per
share contingent upon future  increases in operating cash
flow by KNAX-FM/KRBT-FM. The  cash  portion of the
consideration was  funded  through borrowings  under  the
Registrant's senior  debt  facility. Pending  the  closing
of the acquisition, the stations  were managed by the
Registrant since January 1996 pursuant  to  a local
marketing agreement.

     (4)  Notes to Combined Financial Statements*

Registrant operated the radio stations pursuant to a
local marketing agreement since January 1, 1996 and
therefore, has not included financial statements of the
businesses acquired at   March 31, 1996 and for the three
months then ended.

                      INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT 


To the Partners
KNAX/KFRE and KRBT/FM
West Palm Beach, Florida

I have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of
KNAX/KFRE and KRBT/FM as of December 31, 1995 and the
related combined statements of operations, partners'
capital and cash flows for the year then ended.  These
statements are the responsibility of management.  My
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on my audit.

I conducted my audit in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards.  Those standards require that I plan
and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in
the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the
overall financial statement presentation.  I believe that
my audit provides a reasonable basis for my opinion.

In my opinion, the financial statements referred to above
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
condition of KNAX/KFRE and KRBT/FM as of December 31, 1995
and the results of its operations and cash flows for the
year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

A   -   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Financial Statements  -  The accompanying financial
statements include the operations of radio stations
KNAX/KFRE and KRBT/FM (collectively, the Stations or the
Company).  All significant transactions between the
various entities have been eliminated.

Cash Equivalents  -   For the purpose of reporting cash
flows, cash includes amounts held in bank accounts.

Concentration of Risk  -  The Stations operate only within
the Fresno, CA geographic area. They extend credit to
their various customers in the form of accounts
receivable, many of whom are located in their trade area,
however, many are national accounts. The Stations perform
ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains
allowances for doubtful accounts based on factors
surrounding the credit risk of specific customers,
historical trends, and other information. Credit losses,
when realized, have been within the range of expectations
and, historically, have not been significant.

Property and Equipment and Intangible Assets  -  Property
and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation is computed
generally using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful life of the respective assets.
Expenditures for repairs are expensed while major renewals
are capitalized.

Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line method
over the estimated useful lives of the assets ranging from
3 to 40 years.  Management periodically evaluates the
recoverability of the net carrying value, generally by
using certain accepted industry measures of value
(principally, cash flow multiple methods).

Trades  -  The Stations exchange commercial  airtime for
goods and services, as is customary in the broadcasting
industry. The revenue is recognized when the airtime is
run. The related trade expense is recognized when the
goods or services are used.

Income Taxes  -  No provision for federal or state income
taxes has been provided as the partners report their pro
rata share of partnership profits or losses on their
individual tax return.


B   -   OTHER CURRENT ASSETS

Other current assets consist of the following:

</TABLE>



State Street Bank and Trust Company (the "Bank")  -  This
loan was issued November 3, 1989 in connection with the
existing indebtedness, the acquisition of the North
Carolina stations, and the contribution of the California
stations. The loan is secured by all assets, interest
agreements, stock and items or contracts of value which
are not senior to this agreement, including a life
insurance policy on the life of Ralph Guild in the face
amount of $500,000.

Effective August 4, 1992, the Bank and the Partnership
amended their loan agreement. The principal of $8,084,000
is comprised of two loans as follows: (a) Facility One
Term Note for $5,575,000 (originally $8,290,000 but
reduced by payments of $2,715,000 during 1993) and (b)
Facility Two Term Note for $2,509,000.  The Facility One
note bears interest at the prime rate plus 1% payable
monthly.  The Facility Two note bears interest at 5%
payable at maturity.

On March 13, 1995, the Bank and the Partnership entered
into a Forbearance Agreement (the "Agreement") whereby the
Bank agreed to forbear, for a limited period of time, from
the exercise of its rights and remedies with respect to
the amended loan agreement.  The Agreement was amended
December 28, 1995 with the understanding that the
Partnership would sign a definitive sale agreement of
KNAX/FM and KFRE/AM and submit the license assignment
applications to the Federal Communications Commission (the
"FCC").  See Note H Subsequent Events, regarding the sale
of  the Stations.

KFRE Broadcasting, Inc.  -  This loan, originally issued
February 28, 1986 in connection with the asset purchase of
radio station KFRE-AM by Chester Associates, L.P., was
assumed by the Partnership in connection with the
contribution of the California stations on September 30,
1989.  The obligation carries no stated interest rate,
therefore, interest has been imputed at the February, 1986
applicable federal rate of 8.77%.  The face amount at
December 31, 1995 is $475,000.  The original terms
required annual payments of $312,500 beginning in 1992
until the obligation matured.  In 1992, the Partnership
reduced its annual payment to $137,500 and pays interest
quarterly on the unpaid difference. The entire balance was
due February, 1995.

Walter Lake - non-compete agreement  -  This obligation,
originally issued February 28, 1986 in connection with the
asset purchase of KFRE-AM by Chester Radio Associates,
L.P., was assumed by the Partnership pursuant to the
contribution of the California stations.  The original
terms required payments of $12,500 monthly until the
agreement ends September 30, 1995.  Beginning in 1992, the
Partnership reduced its monthly payments to $5,000 and
pays interest quarterly at prime plus 1% on the unpaid
difference.  The entire balance was due March, 1995,

Total interest expense for 1995 $1,305,782.


E   -   PROFIT SHARING

The Partnership established a 401K plan effective February
1, 1988 which covers substantially all employees. The Plan
allows for employee contributed salary reduction deferrals
in addition to any company profit sharing contributions.

On January 1, 1990, employees of the Partnership formed
EBE Management, Inc. providing management, sales and
support services to the Stations. The stock of EBE
Management, Inc. is held for the benefit of the employees
through EBE Management, Inc. Employee Stock Ownership Plan
and Trust.

The existing 401K plan was merged in with the EBE
Management, Inc. plan during 1990.

G  -   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases  -  The Stations lease various administrative and
studio offices, transmitter sites and equipment under
noncancelable operating leases ranging from one to ten
years. Certain leases require the Stations  to pay
additional amounts for property taxes, insurance,
maintenance and other expenses related to the leased
property. Many of the leases contain renewal options.  In
most cases, management believes that, upon expiration in
the normal course of business, leases will be renewed or
replaced by other leases. The aggregate payments related
to these commitments during the next five years and
thereafter is as follows

</TABLE>



Other  -  Pursuant to various agreements with managers and
consultants, the general partner, at his sole discretion,
reserves the right to distribute up to 20 percent of the
profits of the Stations after the return of all equity
contributed and the payment of priority returns as defined
in the Partnership agreement. These amounts are not
measurable or determinable at December 31, 1995;
therefore, no provision has been made in the accompanying
financial statements.

Litigation  -  In the normal course of business, the
Partnership is subject to certain suits and other matters.
Management believes that the eventual resolution of any
pending matters, either individually or in the aggregates,
will not have a material effect on the consolidated
financial position or the results of operations.


H  -   SUBSEQUENT EVENTS - SALE OF STATIONS

          PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                         (Unaudited)

On May 3, 1996, the Registrant acquired substantially all the assets of radio 
stations KNAX-FM/KRBT-FM, Fresno, California from EBE Broadcasting, L.P.
Consideration for the acquisition consisted of $6.0 million plus 120,000 shares
of the Registrant's common stock (the "Fresno Acquisition").  The cash portion
of the purchase price was funded through borrowings under the Registrant's 
senior debt facility.

On April 1, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of radio
stations WKII-AM/WEEJ/FM, Port Charlotte, Florida for $2.85 million (the "Port 
Charlotte Acquisition").  In the event that the Company is able to relocate
WEEJ-FM's broadcast antenna to the Company's Pine Island, Florida tower in order
to better serve the Port Charlotte/Ft. Myers market, additional consideration
of $750,000 will be paid.  The acquisition was funded through borrowings under
the Registrant's senior debt facility.

On March 29, 1996, the Company acquired substantially all the assets of radio
station WHLX-FM, Wheeling, West Virginia for $0.8 million (the "Wheeling
Acquisition").  The acquisition was funded through borrowings under the 
Registrant's senior debt facility.

On February 2, 1996, the Registrant sold substantially all the assets of
radio stations WNTQ-FM/WNDR-AM, Syracuse, New York to Pilot Communications 
L.L.C. for $12.5 million (the "Syracuse Disposition").  The net proceeds were
used to repay a portion of the Registrant's long-term debt.

On January 31, 1996, the Company sold substantially all the assets of radio
station WWRD-FM, Jacksonville, Florida/Brunswick, Georgia for $2.5 million
(the "Jacksonville Disposition").  The net proceeds were used principally to 
repay long-term debt.

On December 21, 1995, the Registrant entered into an option agreement with
Allbritton Communications Company ("Allbritton") for the sale of television
station WJSU-TV, Anniston, Alabama the ("Anniston Option").  Under the terms
of the option agreement, the Registrant received $10 million for an option 
which gives Allbritton the right to purchase substantially all the assets 
relating to the operations of the station for $2 million.  In addition, the
Registrant will receive up to $7 million upon receipt of the necessary
approvals to relocate the station's broadcast transmitter to maximize broadcast
coverage of the facility.  The net proceeds were used to repay a portion of the
Registrant's long-term debt.

Collectively, the Wheeling Acquisition, the Port Charlotte Acquisition and the
Jacksonville Disposition are the "Other Transactions".

The accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet at March 31, 
1996 assumes that the Fresno Acquisition and the Port Charlotte Acquisition 
were made as of March 31, 1996.  The accompanying pro forma condensed 
consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 
assumes that the Fresno Acquisition, Syracuse Disposition, Anniston Option, and
the Other Transactions occurred as of January 1, 1995.  The accompanying pro
forma condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1996 assumes that the Fresno Acquisition, Syracuse Disposition,
and the Other Transactions occurred as of January 1, 1996.  The pretax gains
resulting from the Syracuse Disposition, Jacksonville Disposition and Anniston
Option are not reflected in the accompanying pro forma condensed consolidated
statemnets of operations because of their nonrecurring nature.

The Fresno Acquisition, the Port Charlotte Acquisition and the Wheeling
Acquisition, (collectively, the "Acquisitions") have been accounted for using 
the purchase method of accounting.  The total cost of such Acquisitions has been
allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired based on their
respective fair values.  The allocation of the respective purchase prices 
assumed in the pro forma financial statements is preliminary.  The Registrant
does not expect that the final allocation of the purchase price will materially
differ from the preliminary allocation.

The pro forma adjustments are based on available information and on certain
assumptions that the Registrant believes are reasonable under the 
circumstances.  The pro forma consolidated financial statements should be read
in conjunction with the Registrant's consolidated financial statements and 
notes thereto contained in the Registrant's 1995 Annual Report on Form 10-K and
Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 1996 and the
financial statements and notes thereto of the Fresno Acquisition included
in this filing.

In management's opinion, the accompanying pro forma financial information is
not necessarily indicative of either future results of operations or the
results that might have occurred if the foregoing transactions had been
consummated on the indicated dates.
