                             KATZ MEDIA CORPORATION
                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                         FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                  OF OPERATIONS

 

General
- -------

     The following  discussion  is based upon and should be read in  conjunction
with  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  including  the  notes  thereto,
included elsewhere herein.

     The net operating  revenues of the Company are derived from  commissions on
the sale of national spot advertising air time for radio and television clients.
Commission  rates  are  negotiated  and set  forth  in the  client's  individual
representation contracts. The key to the Company's success is the maintenance of
its current representation contracts with client stations and the acquisition of
new representation  contracts. The primary operating expenses of the Company are
employee  salaries,  rents,   commission-related  payments  to  employees,  data
processing expenses, and depreciation and amortization.  The Company's financial
results  have  been  impacted  by  three  significant  factors:  (i)  trends  in
advertising  expenditures,  (ii) buyouts of station representation contracts and
changes in ownership of client stations and (iii) acquisitions of representation
firms.  The effect of these  factors on the  Company's  financial  condition and
results of operations have varied from period to period.

     This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains forward looking statements that
involve risks and  uncertainties,  including those associated with the effect of
national and regional economic conditions,  the ability of the Company to obtain
new clients and retain existing clients, changes in ownership of client stations
and client stations of the Company's competitors,  other developments at clients
of the Company,  the ability of the Company to realize cost  reductions from its
cost containment efforts, and developments from recent changes in the regulatory
environment for its clients.


Business
- --------

     The Company  operates  as a single  segment  business  and is the only full
service media representation firm in the United States serving multiple types of
electronic media, with leading market shares in the  representation of radio and
television  stations and cable  systems.  During the second  quarter of 1996 the
Company's percentage  composition of gross billings  (representing the aggregate
dollar amount of advertising  placed on client stations or systems) by broadcast
media was as follows: 62.1% for television;  31.9% for radio; and 6.0% for cable
and  international  (on a 100% owned basis).  Gross  billings  during the second
quarter of 1996 compared to second quarter 1995  decreased  10.3% for television
primarily reflecting the July 1995 United Television stations transfer discussed
below,  increased 18.6% for radio and increased 5.4% for cable and international
(on a 100%  owned  basis)  generally  as a result of new client  additions.  The
composition  of gross  billings by broadcast  media during the second quarter of
1995 was  68.0%  for  television,  26.5%  for  radio,  and 5.5%  for  cable  and
international (on a 100% owned basis).


Results of Operations - Three Months Ended June 30, 1996
- --------------------------------------------------------

     Net  operating  revenues  for the  second  quarter  of 1996  totaled  $48.0
million,  a decrease of  approximately  $2.4  million,  or  approximately  4.7%,
compared to net operating  revenues of $50.3  million for the second  quarter of
1995.  This  decrease  reflects  (i) the slower 1996 second  quarter  pacings as
compared to those  achieved  during the 1995 second  quarter as well as (ii) the
July  1995  transfer  of United  Television,  Inc.  stations  ($1.7  million  of
operating revenues in the 1995 second quarter) to a new  representation  firm in
which the company will receive a profit distribution rather than report revenues
and associated expenses.

     Operating expenses,  excluding depreciation and amortization,  decreased by
approximately  $.6 million to $35.6 million for the second  quarter of 1996 from
$36.2  million  for the  second  quarter of 1995.  Salaries  and  related  costs
decreased by $1.2 million when compared to the second quarter of 1995, primarily
attributable  to  decreased  compensation  resulting  from  decreased  operating
revenues.  Selling,  general and  administrative  increased  by $.6 million when
compared to the second  quarter of 1995  attributed  mostly to the start up of a
sixth radio company. Operating expenses excluding depreciation and amortization,
as a percentage of net operating  revenues,  increased  from 71.9% in the second
quarter of 1995 to 74.1% in the second  quarter of 1996 primarily as a result of
the slightly lower operating revenue figures described above.

     Depreciation and amortization  overall  increased by $.8 million,  or 107%,
for the second quarter of 1996 compared to the second quarter of 1995, primarily
due to the relatively higher amounts of amortization of representation contracts
acquired in 1996.

     Operating  income for the second  quarter of 1996 decreased by $2.5 million
compared to the second  quarter of 1995 as a result of the operating  components
discussed above.

     Interest expense, net, remained relatively constant at $5.2 million for the
second quarter of 1996 and 1995.

     Income  before  income tax  provision  totaled  $5.7 million for the second
quarter of 1996,  compared to income of $8.3  million for the second  quarter of
1995. This result was primarily due to the components listed above.

     The  difference  between the effective tax rate of 51% compared to the U.S.
statutory rate of 35% in the second quarter of 1996 is primarily attributable to
goodwill amortization, other nondeductible expenses and state income taxes.

     EBITDA for the second  quarter of 1996  decreased  $1.7 million or 11.8% to
$12.7 million as compared to $14.4 million for the second quarter of 1995.  This
decrease is primarily  attributable to the stronger revenue pacing in the second
quarter of 1995 as compared to the second  quarter  1996  discussed  above.  The
EBITDA margin decreased from 28.6% in the second quarter of 1995 to 26.8% in the
second quarter of 1996.


Results of Operations - Six Months Ended June 30, 1996
- ------------------------------------------------------

     Net  operating  revenues  for the first six  months of 1996  totaled  $86.3
million,  a decrease of  approximately  $3.1  million,  or  approximately  3.5%,
compared to net operating  revenues of $89.4 million for the first six months of
1995. This decrease  reflects (i) the slower 1996 first half pacings as compared
to those achieved  during the 1995 first half and (ii) the July 1995 transfer of
United  Television,  Inc.  stations  ($3.2 million of operating  revenues in the
first  half of 1995) to a new  representation  firm in which  the  company  will
receive  a  profit  distribution  rather  than  report  revenue  and  associated
expenses.

     Operating expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization, decreased from
$69.7  million  for the first six months of 1995 to $68.8  million for the first
six  months of 1996,  a  decrease  of $.9  million or 1.3%.  This  decrease  was
primarily  attributable  to decreased  compensation,  resulting  from  decreased
operating revenue, offset by costs associated with the start up of a sixth radio
company.

     Depreciation and amortization  decreased by $1.3 million,  or 29.4% for the
first six months of 1996  compared  to the first six months of 1995,  due to the
lower amounts of amortization expense related to non-compete agreements recorded
in the first six  months of 1996 as  compared  to the first six  months of 1995,
offset by relatively higher amounts of amortization for representation contracts
acquired in 1996.

     Operating  income for the first six months of 1996 decreased by $.9 million
compared to the first six months of 1995 as a result of the components discussed
above.

     Interest expense,  net, remained  relatively  constant at $10.3 million for
the first half of 1996 and 1995.


                                       7

<PAGE>



     Income before  income tax provision  totaled $4.1 million for the first six
months of 1996, compared to $5.0 million for the comparable period of 1995. This
result was primarily due to the components listed above.

     The  difference  between the effective tax rate of 51% compared to the U.S.
statutory rate of 35% in the second quarter of 1996 is primarily attributable to
permanent  differences  between  book and  taxable  income  related to  goodwill
amortization, other nondeductible expenses and state income taxes.

     EBITDA for the first six months of 1996  decreased  $2.0 million or 9.8% to
$18.3  million as  compared to $20.3  million  for the first half of 1995.  This
decrease is primarily  attributed to the stronger  revenue  pacings in the first
half of 1995 as  compared  to the first  half of 1996 as  discussed  above.  The
EBITDA margin  decreased  from 22.7% in the first six months of 1995 to 21.2% in
the first half of 1996.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

     The Company's working capital  requirements have been primarily provided by
operations.  It is expected that the Company's  primary sources of financing for
its  future  business  activities  will  continue  to be  from  operations  plus
borrowings under the Katz Media Corporation's Revolving Credit Agreement.

     The  Company   continuously  seeks   opportunities  to  acquire  additional
representation  contracts  on  attractive  terms,  and at the same time looks to
maintain its current client roster. In addition, the recent changes in ownership
of  broadcast  properties  have  fueled  changes  in  client  engagements  among
independent media representation  firms. These changes and the Company's ability
to acquire and maintain  representation  contracts can cause fluctuations in the
Company's revenues and cash flows from period to period.

     Cash provided by operating activities in 1996 as compared to 1995 decreased
$4.3  million.  This  decrease  in cash  provided  by  operating  activities  is
primarily  due to  reduced  operating  results  in the first six  months of 1996
compared  to the first six months of 1995 and the net change in working  capital
accounts.

     Net cash used in investing activities during 1996 aggregated $15.1 million,
an increase of $2.2 million  compared to net cash used in  investing  activities
during 1995 of $12.9 million. This increase in cash used in investing activities
was mainly a result of the $7.0 million  investment  in the Cable Joint  Venture
which  occured  in the first  quarter  of 1995,  offset by the net  increase  of
purchases  of station  representation  contracts  of $6.5  million  and  capital
expenditures over the first six months of 1995 of $2.7 million.

     Overall cash flows from financing  activities provided $12.6 million during
1996 versus $4.0 million during 1995. The increase in cash provided by financing
activities is primarily due to increased  borrowings  under the Credit Agreement
to  satisfy  current  working  capital  requirements,  partially  offset by $1.7
million  spent in the first  quarter of 1996 to  repurchase  a portion of the 12
3/4% Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2002.  The Company has  approximately  $1.4
million available on its revolving credit facility as of July 24, 1996.
