                 MULTI-MARKET RADIO SELLS AUGUSTA STATIONS

NEW YORK, July 11, 1996--Multi-Market Radio, Inc. (NASDAQ: RDIOA) today
announced that it has sold its two Augusta, Georgia radio stations, WRXR(FM) and
WKBG (FM), to Wilks Broadcast Acquisitions, Inc. for $5.0 million.

Commenting on the transaction, Michael G. Ferrel, President and Chief Executive
Officer, said, "As we previously noted the sale of these stations, which have
been losing money, presents an opportunity for us to redeploy our assets and
concentrate on building strategic clusters of stations. We continue to look at
stations both in our existing markets and new markets and envision being very
active in the months ahead. This is in addition to our intended merger with SFX
Broadcasting which will create an even larger and more successful company."

On April 15 SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFXBA) announced that it would
acquire Multi-Market Radio for the stock equivalent of $11.50 per common share,
subject to adjustment. It is anticipated that this transaction will close within
the next few months subject to shareholder approval and the approval of the
Federal Communications Commission and certain other conditions.

Multi-Market Radio, which is headquartered in New York City currently owns,
provides programming for, sells advertising on behalf of or has agreed to
acquire the following thirteen radio stations in seven markets:
