                         ----------------------------


The Board of Directors
WEDR, Inc.:


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of WEDR, Inc. as of December 31,
1995, and the related statements of earnings and retained earnings 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 financial position of WEDR, Inc. as of December 31,
1995, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then
ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                       (tables in thousands of dollars)

(1)  Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
     ------------------------------------------

     (a)   Description of Business
           -----------------------

           WEDR, Inc. (the "Company"), an "S corporation," owns and operates
           radio station WEDR-FM which serves the Fort Lauderdale - Miami,
           Florida market. The Company also operates affiliated radio station
           WRBD-AM servicing the same market under a marketing agreement with
           WRBD, Inc.

     (b)   Property and Equipment
           ----------------------

           Property and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property
           and equipment, including equipment operated under capital leases, is
           computed using an accelerated method over the estimated useful lives
           of the assets. Repair and maintenance costs are charged to expense
           when incurred.

      (c)  Barter Transactions
           -------------------

           The Company trades commercial air time for goods and services used
           principally for promotional, sales and other business activities. An
           asset and liability is recorded at the fair market value of the goods
           or services received. Barter revenue is recorded and the liability
           relieved when commercials are broadcast and barter expense is
           recorded and the asset relieved when goods or services are received
           or used. Barter revenues and expenses were approximately $535,000
           during the year ended December 31, 1995.

      (d)  Income Taxes
           ------------

           As the Company is an "S corporation," income taxes are the
           responsibility of its individual stockholders. Accordingly, no income
           tax expense is recorded in the accompanying financial statements.

      (e)  Revenue Recognition
           -------------------

           Revenue is derived primarily from the sale of commercial
           announcements to local and national advertisers. Revenue is
           recognized as commercials are broadcast.

                                                                     (Continued)

                       (tables in thousands of dollars)

      (f)  Statement of Cash Flows
           -----------------------

           The Company paid approximately $24,000 for interest during the year
           ended December 31, 1995.

      (g)  Disclosure of Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
           ---------------------------------------------------------

           The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
           accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
           and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
           liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at
           the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
           revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results
           could differ from those estimates.

           In the opinion of management, credit risk with respect to trade
           receivables is limited due to the large number of diversified
           customers and the geographic diversification of the Company's
           national revenue customer base. The Company performs ongoing credit
           evaluations of its customers and believes that adequate allowances
           for any uncollectible trade receivables are maintained. At December
           31, 1995, no receivable from any customer exceeded 5% of
           stockholders' equity and no customer accounted for more than 10% of
           net revenues in 1995.

      (h)  Fair Value of Financial Instruments
           -----------------------------------

           The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable
           and accounts payable approximates fair value because of the short
           maturity of these instruments. It is not practicable to estimate the
           fair value of loans to stockholders as such loans have no maturity
           dates and their terms can be readily modified by the stockholders.

      (i)  Interim Financial Information
           -----------------------------

           In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim
           financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of normal
           recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial
           position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company as of
           June 30, 1996 and for the six-month periods ended June 30, 1995 and
           1996.

                                                                    (Continued)

      the loans have no specified maturity date and bear interest at 7%.
      Interest on the loans is paid monthly through payroll deductions.

(4)   Commitment and Contingencies
      ----------------------------

      The Company has leased certain broadcast equipment under a capital lease
