               RICHARD W. PERKINS (SSN: ###-##-####
               CHILDREN'S BROADCASTING CORP.,
               724 FIRST STREET NORTH
               MINNEAPOLIS, MN 55401

LENDER:        KEY COMMUNITY BANK
               5684 BISHOP AVE., SUITE 100
               INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, MN 55076

PRINCIPAL AMOUNT: $355,000.00   INITIAL RATE: 10.000%   DATE OF NOTE: OCTOBER
20, 1998 
PROMISE TO PAY.  I PROMISE TO PAY TO KEY COMMUNITY BANK ("LENDER"), OR
ORDER, IN LAWFUL MONEY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY FIVE THOUSAND & 00/100 DOLLARS ($355,000.00), TOGETHER WITH
INTEREST ON THE UNPAID PRINCIPAL BALANCE FROM OCTOBER 20, 1998, UNTIL PAID IN
FULL.

PAYMENT.  I WILL PAY THIS LOAN ON DEMAND, OR IF NO DEMAND, IN ONE PRINCIPAL
PAYMENT OF $355,000.00 PLUS INTEREST ON JANUARY 18, 1999.  THIS PAYMENT DUE
JANUARY 18, 1999, WILL BE FOR ALL PRINCIPAL AND ACCRUED INTEREST NOT YET PAID.
The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that is,
by applying the ration of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual number
of days the principal balance is outstanding.  I will pay Lender at Lender's
address shown above or at such other place as Lender may require in writing.
Unless otherwise agreed or required by law, payments will be applied first to
accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any remaining amount to any
unpaid collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
form time to time based on changes in an independent index which is the Wall
Street Journal Prime Rate (the "Index").  The Index is not necessarily the
lowest rate charged by Lender on its Loans.  If the index becomes unavailable
during the term of this loan, Lender may designate a substitute index after
notice to me.  Lender will tell me the current Index rate upon my request.  I
understand that Lender may make loans based on other rates as well.  The
interest rate change will not occur more often than each day.  THE INDEX
CURRENTLY IS 8.000% PER ANNUM.  THE INTEREST RATE TO BE APPLIED TO THE UNPAID
PRINCIPAL BALANCE OF THIS NOTE WILL BE AT A RATE OF 2.000 PERCENTAGE POINTS OVER
THE INDEX, RESULTING IN AN INITIAL RATE OF 10.000% PER ANNUM.  NOTICE: Under no
circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be more than the maximum rate
allowed by applicable law.

PREPAYMENT; MINIMUM INTEREST CHARGE.  I agree that all loan fees and other
prepaid finance charges are earned fully as of the date of the loan and will not
be refunded to me upon early payment (whether voluntary or as a result of
default), except as otherwise required by law.  In any event, even upon full
prepayment of this Note, I understand that Lender is entitled to a MINIMUM
INTEREST CHARGE OF $10.00.  Other than my obligation to pay any minimum interest
charge, I may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount owed earlier
than it is due.  If I do make any payments before they are due, I understand
that unless Lender agrees otherwise in writing, I will still have to continue to
make my regular payments under the payment schedule.  Rather, they will reduce
the principal balance due.

LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 10 days or more late, I will be charges 5.000% of
the regularly scheduled payment or $10.00, whichever is greater.


                                     Page 6 of 8
<PAGE>

DEFAULT.  I will be in default if any of the following happens:  (a) I fail to
make any payment when due.  (b) I break any promise I have made to Lender, or I
fail to comply with or to perform when due any other term, obligation, covenant,
or condition contained in this Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in
any other agreement or loan I have with Lender.  (c) Any representation or
statement made or furnished to Lender by me or on my behalf is false or
misleading in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished.
(d) I die or become insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of my
property, I make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any lawsuit or
process is started either by me or against me under any bankruptcy or insolvency
laws.  (e) Any creditor tries to take any of my property on or in which Lender
has a lien or security interest.  This includes a garnishment of any of my
accounts with Lender.  (f) Any of the events described in this default section
occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note.  (g) A material adverse
change occurs in my financial condition, or Lender believes the prospect of
payment or performance of the Indebtedness is impaired.  (h) Lender in good
faith deems itself insecure.

LENDER'S RIGHTS.  If I am in default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid
principal balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due,
without notice, and then I will pay that amount.  Lender may hire or pay someone
else to help collect this Note if I do not pay.  I also will pay Lender that
amount.  This includes, subject to any limits under law, Lender's attorneys'
fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there is a lawsuit, including
attorneys' fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy proceedings (including efforts
to modify or vacate any automatic stay or injunction), appeals, and any
anticipated post-judgment collection services.  If not prohibited by law, I also
will pay any court costs, in addition to all other sums provided by law.  THIS
NOTE HAS BEEN DELIVERED TO LENDER AND ACCEPTED BY LENDER IN THE STATE OF
MINNESOTA.  IF THERE IS A LAWSUIT, I AGREE UPON LENDER'S REQUEST TO APPEAR IN
THE COURTS OF DAKOTA COUNTY, THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.  THIS NOTE SHALL BE
GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF MINNESOTA.

UNPAID CHECK FEE.  I will pay a fee to Lender of $20.00 if I make a payment on
my loan and the check or other payment order with which I pay is later returned
unpaid for any reason, such as lack of funds or a closed account.

RIGHT OF SETOFF.  I grant to Lender a contractual security interest in, and
hereby assign, convey, deliver, pledge, and transfer to Lender all my right,
title and interest in and to, my accounts with Lender (whether checking,
savings, or some other account), including without limitation all accounts held
jointly with someone else and all accounts I may open in the future, excluding
however all IRA and Keogh accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant
of a security interest would be prohibited by law.  I authorize Lender, to the
extent permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this
Note against any and all such accounts, and, at Lender's option, to
administratively freeze all such accounts to allow Lender to protect Lender's
charge and setoff rights provided on this paragraph.

GENERAL PROVISIONS.   This Note is payable on demand.  The inclusion of specific
default provisions or rights of Lender shall not preclude Lender's right to
declare payment of this Note on its demand.  Lender may delay or give up any of
its rights or remedies under this Note without losing them.  I and any other
person who signs, guarantees or endorses this Note, to the extent allowed by
law, waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor.
Upon any change in the terms of this Note, and unless agreed to differently and
stated in writing, no party who signs this Note, whether as a borrower, a
cosigner, a guarantor or as some other type of signer, shall be released from
liability.  All signers of this Note agree that whether as a borrower, a
cosigner, a guarantor or as some other type of signer, shall be released from
liability.  All signers of this Note agree that Lender may renew or extend
(repeatedly and for any length of time) this loan, or release any party or
guarantor or collateral; or impair, fail to realize upon or perfect Lender's
security interest in the collateral; and take nay other action deemed necessary
by Lender without the consent of or notice to anyone.  All signers of this Note
also agree that


                                     Page 7 of 8
<PAGE>

Lender may modify this loan without the consent of or notice to anyone other
than the party with whom the modification is made.  The obligations under this
Note are joint and several.  This means that the words "I", "me", and "my" mean
each and all of the persons signing below.

SECTION DISCLOSURE.  This loan is made under Minnesota Statutes, Section 334.01.

PRIOR TO SIGNING THIS NOTE, I, AND EACH OF US, READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL THE
PROVISIONS OF THIS NOTE, INCLUDING THE VARIABLE INTEREST RATE PROVISIONS AND THE
NOTICE TO CONSIGNER SET FORTH BELOW.  I, AND EACH OF US, AGREE TO THE TERMS OF
THE NOTE AND ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF A COMPLETED COPY OF THE NOTE.

                                  NOTICE TO COSIGNER

YOU ARE BEING ASKED TO GUARANTEE THIS DEBT.  THINK CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU DO.  IF
THE BORROWER DOESN'T PAY THE DEBT, YOU WILL HAVE TO.  BE SURE YOU CAN AFFORD TO
PAY IF YOU HAVE TO, AND THAT YOU WANT TO ACCEPT THIS RESPONSIBILITY.

YOU MAY HAVE TO PAY UP TO THE FULL AMOUNT OF THE DEBT IF THE BORROWER DOES NOT
PAY.  YOU MAY ALSO HAVE TO PAY LATE FEES OR COLLECTION COSTS, WHICH INCREASE
THIS AMOUNT.

THE LENDER CAN COLLECT THIS DEBT FROM YOU WITHOUT FIRST TRYING TO COLLECT FROM
THE BORROWER.  THE LENDER CAN USE THE SAME COLLECTION METHODS AGAINST YOU THAT
CAN BE USED AGAINST THE BORROWER, SUCH AS SUING YOU, GARNISHING YOUR WAGES, ETC.
IF THIS DEBT IS EVER IN DEFAULT, THAT FACT MAY BECOME A PART OF YOUR CREDIT
RECORD.

THIS NOTICE IS NOT THE CONTRACT THAT MAKES YOU LIABLE FOR THE DEBT.
