                                6





Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issuer.

         (a)  As of June 26, 1997, the Reporting Persons
              collectively held 1,564,175 Preferred Shares, of
              which 1,137,155 were held by the Fund and 427,020
              were held by the Partnership.  The Preferred Shares
              are convertible into Common Stock under the terms
              set forth in Exhibit 10.24 to the Issuer's Annual
              Report on Form 10-K (the "10-K Exhibit") for the
              year ended December 31, 1996, filed with the
              Securities and Exchange Commission (the
              "Commission") on May 14, 1997, Commission File
              Number 0-24710.  As set forth in the 10-K Exhibit,
              conversion of the Preferred Shares was conditioned
              upon approval by the Federal Communications
              Commission of the issuance of shares of Common
              Stock on conversion.  The Issuer informed the
              Reporting Persons that such approval was received
              on June 26, 1997, the date of the event requiring
              this filing.  The Reporting Persons' conversion
              privileges are limited by the provisions set forth
              in an agreement (the "Standstill Agreement")
              entered into between the Reporting Persons and the
              Issuer as of June 15, 1997, as described in the
              Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K, Exhibit 99.1
              (the "8-K Exhibit"), filed with the Commission on
              July 8, 1997, Commission File Number 0-24710.
              Under the Standstill Agreement, the Reporting
              Persons may not acquire Common Stock by any means
              including the conversion of the Preferred Shares,
              if the acquisition would result in the Reporting
              Persons having or sharing voting or investment
              power over ten percent or more of the outstanding
              class of Common Stock.  

         (b)  The Reporting Persons have the sole power to
              dispose of all of the Preferred Shares held by
              them.  As to any Common Stock obtained by the
              Reporting Persons through open-market purchases,
              conversion of the Preferred Shares or otherwise,
              the Reporting Persons would have the sole power to
              vote and dispose of the Common Stock.  

         (c)  Not applicable. 

         (d)  No other person is known to have the right to
              receive or the power to direct the receipt of
              dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of
              the Preferred Shares.

         (e)  Not applicable.


                                7





Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or
         Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

         Pursuant to the terms of the 8-K Exhibit, the Reporting
         Persons may be deemed to have an interest in the Common
         Stock by virtue of holdings in warrants to purchase
         Common Stock and a commitment to purchase from the
         Issuer shares of a class of convertible preferred stock
         separate from the Preferred Shares.  

Item 7.  Material to be Filed as Exhibits.

         Exhibit A:   Joint Filing Agreement.

         Other
         Exhibits:    The 10-K Exhibit and the 8-K Exhibit, each
                      of which, as amended from time to time by
                      the Issuer, is incorporated herein by
                      reference.

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge
and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this
statement is true, complete and correct.
