(BW)(SFX-BROADCASTING(SFXBA) SFX completes swap for two Dallas stations and
acquisitions of three Indianapolis stations

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 1, 1997--SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (NASDAQ:
SFXBA) today announced that in two separate transactions it has completed its
swap for stations KTXQ-FM and KRRW-FM in Dallas and its acquisition of
WFBQ-FM, WRZX-FM and WNDE-AM serving the Indianapolis market. The first
transaction was part of an exchange with CBS radio, which in return acquired
from SFX station WHFS-FM serving the Baltimore and Washington DC markets. The
second transaction represents the first part of SFX' acquisition of radio
stations in the Indianapolis and Pittsburgh markets from Secret
Communications. The closing of the second part of this acquisition involving
the Pittsburgh stations is expected to be later this quarter.

Commenting on the transactions, Robert F.X. Sillerman, Executive Chairman of
SFX Broadcasting, Inc. said, "The acquisition of these two strong FM stations
in Dallas is a great step forward for us. It will consolidate our growing
presence in the expanding Texas market and provide an excellent complement to
our preeminent position in the Houston market, where we already own and
operate a very successful cluster of four stations.

"We are equally excited about the addition of this powerful group of three
Indianapolis stations, including the market's number one ranked station,
WFBQ-FM, playing an album oriented rock format. Also included in this
acquisition is the Bob and Tom Network, whose popular morning show is carried
on 20 affiliates and promises significant growth potential. These properties
present us with an extraordinary array of cross-promotional possibilities in
this market where we will also own Sunshine Promotions, the area's leading
promoter of live concert events. We eagerly anticipate realizing the benefits
of such a strong presence in this dynamic market."

Dallas is the nation's seventh ranking market. Radio station KRRW-FM has been
one of CBS' ARROW formatted stations, playing a classic rock/oldies format
since November 1993. KTXQ- FM has an album oriented rock format.

The Indianapolis market ranks thirty-sixth. WFBQ-FM ranks first in revenue
share and in the targeted 25-54 demographic audience share. WRZX-FM ranks
seventh and has an alternative/modern rock format. WNDE-AM has a talk format.

In a separate announcement today, the company also stated that it has
scheduled its 1997 annual meeting for Thursday, May 22, 1997. The record date
has been set for April 15, 1997, which is also the last day for submission of
shareholder proposals.

With the anticipated consummation of all previously announced transactions,
SFX will own and operate or provide services to the following 80 stations in
23 markets.
