ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION(S) OR DISPOSITION(S) OF ASSETS

ACQUISITION OF THE ASSETS OF PHILADELPHIA MUSIC WORKS

     On September 27, 1996 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
of Philadelphia Music Works, Inc. (herein, "PMW") from Andrew Mark, President of
the Company's BRG/Music Works Division, for total consideration of $635,000,
consisting of $435,000 in cash and $200,000 in a 6.5% interest, two-year
promissory note.  Further, additional consideration of up to $700,000 may be
payable depending upon the audience levels delivered by PMW in the future.  The
purchase price was determined by arms length negotiations.

     Based in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, PMW is in the business of producing
and distributing custom jingles to third party radio station affiliates in
exchange for commercial broadcast time, and directly to advertisers for cash.
The assets of PMW acquired by the Company consist principally of intellectual
properties and other intangibles, including a library of over 6,000 jingles,
third-party radio station affiliate broadcast contracts, and copyrights.  The
Company did not assume any pre-acquisition accounts payable or other obligations
of PMW, except for certain commitments under real property and equipment leases.

     The acquisition of PMW will be accounted for by the Company as a purchase,
and was financed entirely through existing working capital of the Company.

     On September 27, 1996 the Company amended and restated an August 29, 1995
agreement pursuant to which it had entered into future commitments to acquire
licenses to three (3) production music libraries from Canary Productions, Inc.
("Canary"), which is wholly-owned by Mr. Mark.  Under the amended and restated
agreement, the Company has entered into future commitments to acquire one (1)
additional production music library, four (4) production music libraries in
total, from Canary.  The licenses to the production music libraries will be
acquired by the Company, one each year during the next four years, for a
purchase price that will be based upon a formula of a multiple of earnings of
each such library.

ACQUISITION OF THE ASSETS OF CUTLER PRODUCTIONS, INC. AND SJM PRODUCTIONS, INC.

     On October 1, 1996, the Company consummated an agreement which became
effective as of September 30, 1996, pursuant to which it acquired substantially
all of the assets of Cutler Productions, Inc. and SJM Productions, Inc.
(collectively, "Cutler") for consideration consisting of $8,500,000 cash.  The
purchase price was determined by arms length negotiations.

     Based in Tarzana, California, Cutler is an independent creator, producer
and distributor of comedy, entertainment and music related radio programs and
services.  Cutler distributes its programs and services to third party radio
station affiliates in exchange for commercial broadcast time.  The assets of
Cutler acquired by the Company consist principally of intellectual properties
and other intangibles, including third-party radio station affiliate broadcast
contracts, a library of programs and program rights,


                                        2

and copyrights.  The Company did not assume any pre-acquisition accounts payable
or other obligations of Cutler, except for certain commitments under real
property and equipment leases.  The acquisition of Cutler will be accounted for
by the Company as a purchase, and was financed entirely through existing working
capital of the Company.  Also, Ronald Cutler, a 100% shareholder of Cutler prior
to the above transaction, will be employed by the Company as President of the
Company's Cutler Productions Division under a three (3) year employment
contract.

ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

ACQUISITION OF MINORITY INTEREST IN NEWSTRACK JOINT VENTURE

     On March 20, 1995, Premiere Radio Networks, Inc. (the "Company") entered
into a joint venture agreement with Marketing Research Partners, Inc. ("MRPI")
to nationally syndicate Newstrack, a research service jointly developed by the
Company and MRPI (the "Newstrack Joint Venture").  The Newstrack Joint Venture
commenced operations on or about September 1, 1995 with the Company holding a
75% interest and MRPI holding a 25% interest.

     Effective September 3, 1996, the Company acquired the remaining 25%
minority interest from MRPI for $303,188.  The purchase price was determined by
arms length negotiations.  The acquisition of the 25% minority interest in the
Newstrack Joint Venture will be accounted for by the Company as a purchase, and
was financed entirely through existing working capital of the Company.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS

     (a)  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF BUSINESS(ES) ACQUIRED

     Audited and/or unaudited financial information, as required for this Item,
is included on pages F-1 through F-11 of this filing and is incorporated herein
by reference.  With respect to the acquisition of the assets of Cutler, the
Company has provided audited financial statements with respect to Cutler's most
recently completed fiscal year ending December 31, 1995 and unaudited financial
statements for its fiscal year ending December 31, 1994.  With respect to the
acquisitions of the minority interest in the Newstrack Joint Venture and the
assets of PMW, the Company has not provided audited financial statements as
these transactions are individually and in the aggregate insignificant.

     (b)  PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

     Set forth below is the Company's unaudited pro forma condensed balance
sheet at September 30, 1996, and its pro forma condensed income statement for
the year ended December 31, 1995 and unaudited pro forma condensed income
statement for the nine-month interim period ended September 30, 1996.  The
historical condensed statement of operations of the Company for the year ended
December 31, 1995 has been derived from the Company's audited financial
statements from that date.  The historical condensed statement of operations of
Cutler for the year ended December 31, 1995 has been derived from Cutler's
audited financial statements from that date.  The pro forma condensed balance
sheet at September 30, 1996 gives effect to the acquisition of Cutler on October
1, 1996 as if


                                        3
<PAGE>

this transaction had occurred at the end of the respective period, and the
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and for the nine-
month interim period ended September 30, 1996 give effect to the acquisitions of
PMW and Cutler as if these transactions had occurred at the beginning of each of
the respective periods contained in the pro forma financial statements by
utilizing the assumptions and adjustments described in the accompanying notes
thereto.  The Company's historical balance sheet at September 30, 1996 includes
the acquisition of PMW as that transaction occurred on September 27, 1996.

     The pro forma condensed financial statements may not be indicative of the
Company's actual financial position and results of operations had the
acquisitions of PMW and Cutler occurred at the beginning of each of the periods
presented above, nor are the pro forma statements of operations indicative of
the results of operations that may be obtained in future periods.  In the
opinion of the Company's management, all adjustments necessary for a fair
presentation of the pro forma condensed financial information have been made.

     On March 13, 1996 the Company declared a one-for-two stock dividend,
effected in the form of a three-for-two stock split, of Class A Common Stock
which was paid on April 1, 1996 to all holders of record of the Company's Common
Stock and Class A Common Stock on the March 22, 1996 record date for such
dividend (the "Class A Dividend").  Historical and pro forma per share earnings
in each of the foregoing periods has been adjusted to reflect the Class A
Dividend.

     It is suggested that the accompanying pro forma condensed financial
statements be read in conjunction with audited financial statements and
accompanying notes contained in the Company's annual report on Form 10-KSB for
the year ended December 31, 1995, and unaudited condensed financial statements
and accompanying notes contained in the Company's report on Form 10-QSB for the
nine-month period ended September 30, 1996, and in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto of Cutler for the year ended December 31,
1995 appearing elsewhere in this filing.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed balance sheet at September 30, 1996, and
the statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995 and the nine-
month period ended September 30, 1996 follows.

                        Report of Independent Auditors
 
Stockholders and Board of Directors
Cutler Productions, Inc. and
SJM Productions, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of Cutler Productions, 
Inc. and SJM Productions, Inc. as of December 31, 1995, and the related 
combined statements of income, shareholder's equity and cash flows for the year 
then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's 
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial 
statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
standards. Those standards require that we 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. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis 
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in 
all material respects, the combined financial position of Cutler Productions, 
Inc. and SJM Productions, Inc. at December 31, 1995, and the combined results 
of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles.

The accompanying financial statements for 1994 were not audited by us and, 
accordingly, we do not express an opinion on them.

                     Notes to Combined Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1995 and 1994
                 (The financial information for the year ended
                         December 31, 1994 is unaudited)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Cutler Productions, Inc. (Cutler) is an independent creator, producer and 
distributor of comedy, entertainment and music-related network radio 
programming, and other services. SJM Productions, Inc. (SJM) is an independent 
producer of a network radio program. Cutler and SJM are each wholly-owned by 
the same individual. Collectively, Cutler and SJM are referred to as the 
"Company." The Company derives a substantial portion of its revenues from the 
sale of commercial radio broadcast time to advertisers. The Company obtains 
commercial radio broadcast time from third party radio station affiliates in 
exchange for network radio programs and services. 

The combined financial statements include the accounts of Cutler and SJM. All 
material intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

REVENUE RECOGNITION AND SALES REPRESENTATION

Revenue from the sale to advertisers of commercial broadcast time obtained in 
exchange for produced radio programs or services is recognized when the 
commercials are broadcast.

The Company has an agreement with a network radio advertising sales 
representative company, Global Network Media, Inc. (Global), pursuant to which 
Global acts as the Company's exclusive sales agent with respect to the sale of 
its commercial broadcast time and the billing and collection thereof. Under the 
agreement, Global is paid a sales representation fee equal to 17% of net 
collected revenues. Substantially all of the Company's accounts receivable are 
from Global, and are payable to the Company upon the collection by Global of 
accounts receivable from advertising agencies that purchase the Company's 
commercial broadcast time on behalf of national advertisers.

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

PRODUCTION AND PROGRAMMING COSTS

Production and programming costs are expensed in the period in which they 
occur. Costs related to programs not broadcast as of the balance sheet date are 
insignificant. The Company does not capitalize costs associated with production 
and distribution of internally developed programming, as the estimated future 
revenues from this programming is considered immaterial.

ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are expensed in the period in which they occur. General and 
administrative expenses include advertising costs of $185,617 in 1995 and 
$397,114 in 1994. 

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS, AND BOOK OVERDRAFT

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three 
months or less, when purchased, to be cash equivalents.

Under the Company's cash management system, checks issued but not presented to 
banks frequently result in overdraft balances for accounting purposes and are 
classified as bank overdrafts in the accompanying combined balance sheets.

PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is 
computed by the straight-line method over five years representing the estimated 
useful lives of the related assets.

INCOME TAXES

Cutler has elected to be treated for federal and certain state income tax 
purposes as an S Corporation under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and under 
comparable state laws. As a result, the earnings of Cutler have been included 
in the taxable income of Cutler's shareholder for federal and certain state 
income tax purposes, and Cutler has generally not been subject to income tax on 
such earnings, other than California franchise taxes.

               Notes to Combined Financial Statements (continued)


1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

SJM is treated for federal and certain state income tax purposes as a regular 
corporation. 

The Company accounts for taxes using Statement of Financial Accounting 
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes" (SFAS No. 109). Under SFAS No. 
109, the liability method is used in accounting for income taxes. Under this 
method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences 
between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are 
measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the 
differences are expected to reverse.

EARNINGS PER SHARE

The computation of earnings per share is based upon the weighted average number 
of common shares outstanding during the period. During each of the years ended 
December 31, 1995 and 1994, there were no common equivalent shares outstanding.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted 
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions 
that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying 
notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

Property and equipment at December 31, 1995 and 1994, consist of the following:

3. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES  

The Company leases space for its office and studio facilities under operating 
leases expiring at various dates through 1998. Renewal options are available on 
certain of these leases. Future minimum lease payments under noncancelable 
operating leases at December 31, 1995, are as follows:

</TABLE>

Rental expense under operating leases was $85,128 in 1995 and $71,483 in 1994.  

4. INCOME TAXES  

Deferred state income taxes result primarily from the Company reporting its 
financial results on the accrual basis of accounting and reporting its results 
for income tax purposes on the cash basis of accounting.  

Significant components of the Company's current deferred tax liabilities are as 
follows:
