(SFX-BROADCASTING)(SFXBA) SFX Broadcasting completes acquisition of 4
Pittsburgh stations from Secret Communications

         NEW YORK---June 5, 1997--SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFXBA) today
announced that it has completed its acquisition of WDVE-FM, WXDX-FM, WJJJ-FM
and WDSY-FM serving the Pittsburgh market. This transaction represents the
second and final part of SFX' acquisition of radio stations in the Indianapolis
and Pittsburgh markets from Secret Communications. WDSY-FM is currently under
contract to be swapped for radio station WRFX-FM in Charlotte from EZ
Communications.

         Commenting on the transaction, Robert F.X. Sillerman, Executive
Chairman of SFX Broadcasting, Inc., said, "We are very excited about the
addition of this powerful station group in Pittsburgh, which together with
stations WVTY-FM and WTAE-AM to be acquired from Hearst Broadcasting Group,
will represent the number one revenue ranked group in that market. We continue
our acquisition strategy of acquiring successful properties, notably with WDVE
holding the number one ranking in its target demographics of adults 25-54 and
number two in revenue share. We believe that we will be able to bring about
significant revenue and margin enhancements at all of these stations and we
eagerly anticipate realizing the benefits of such a strong presence in this
dynamic market."

         Pittsburgh is the nations's twentieth ranking market. WDVE-FM has a
rock format, WXDX-FM plays alternative music, and WJJJ-FM has a smooth jazz
format.

         With the anticipated consummation of all previously announced
transactions, SFX will own and operate or provide services to 72 stations in 20
markets and will own, operate through long-term leases, or have exclusive
contracts with 20 concert venues in 5 states.
