             SFX BROADCASTING ANNOUNCES AMENDMENTS TO ITS CONSENT
                                 SOLICITATIONS

New York, January 22, 1998 -- SFX Broadcasting, Inc. (NASDAQ: SFXBA) announced
today the amendment of the solicitation of consent from the holders of its
$450,000,000 10 3/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2006 and its $225,000,000
12 5/8% Series E Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock due October 31, 2006.

The consent fees set forth in the consent solicitation statements previously
mailed on January 7, 1998 have been amended from $10.00 per $1,000 in principal
amount of Senior Subordinated Notes to $22.50 per $1,000 in principal amount of
Notes and from $1.00 per share of Series E Preferred Stock to $2.25 per share
of Series E Preferred Stock. Additionally, the consent solicitation expiration
dates will now be extended until January 29, 1998. Pursuant to the consent
solicitation statements, consents will become irrevocable upon receipt of the
requisite consents.

In addition to the revised consent fees, certain limitations to the proposed
amendments to the indenture relating to the Notes and the certificate of
designations relating to the Series E Preferred Stock have been made. Based on
conversations with holders of the securities, management anticipates that the
requisite consents will be forthcoming based upon the revised consent fees and
