(b)      Pro Forma Financial Information

         The pro forma  information  required by this item is  submitted  in the
pages to follow.

(c)      PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL DATA

     The Pro Forma Consolidated  Financial Data includes the unaudited pro forma
consolidated  balance  sheet of the Company as of March 31, 1996 (the "Pro Forma
Consolidated Balance Sheet") and the unaudited pro forma consolidated  statement
of  operations  for the  three  months  ended  March 31,  1996  (the "Pro  Forma
Consolidated Statement of Operations").

     The  unaudited  Pro Forma  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet is adjusted to give
effect to (I) the  consummation of the acquisition of the assets and liabilities
of  Superior   Communications  Group,  Inc.   ("Superior"),   and  the  probable
acquisitions of (II) Kansas City TV 62 Limited Partnership ("KSMO"),  Cincinnati
TV 64 Limited Partnership  ("WSTR") and River City Broadcasting L.P. ("RCB") and
(III) cash on hand and borrowings  under the existing Bank Credit  Agreement and
New Credit  Facilities  in  amounts  sufficient  to  complete  the  transactions
described in (I) and (II) above.

     The unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Operations is adjusted to
give effect to (I) the  consummation  of the  acquisition of Superior,  (II) the
probable  acquisitions  of  KSMO,  WSTR  and RCB  and  (III)  cash  on hand  and
borrowings under the existing Bank Credit Agreement and New Credit Facilities in
amounts sufficient to complete the transactions described in (I) and (II) above.
The WSYX-TV  information  in the Pro Forma  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet and Pro
Forma  Consolidated  Statement of Operations  reflects the  modification  of the
current  acquisition  documents  eliminating  Sinclair  Broadcast Group,  Inc's.
("SBG")  option  to  acquire  the  assets of  WSYX-TV.  This  resulted  from the
Department  of Justice  ("DOJ")  expressing  preliminary  concerns  about  SBG's
operation of two television stations in Columbus, Ohio. In order to maintain the
original schedule for the rest of the transaction, SBG and RCB have entered into
an agreement with the DOJ that will result in a modification of the terms of the
previously mentioned probable transaction.


<PAGE>
     The pro forma adjustments are based upon available  information and certain
assumptions  the Company  believes are  reasonable.  The Pro Forma  Consolidated
Financial  Data should be read in  conjunction  with the Company's  Consolidated
Financial  Statements  and related notes thereto,  the Financial  Statements and
related  notes of  Superior,  KSMO,  WSTR  and  RCB.  The  unaudited  Pro  Forma
Consolidated  Data do not purport to  represent  what the  Company's  results of
operations  or  financial  position  would have been had any of the above events
occurred  on  the  dates  specified  or to  project  the  Company's  results  of
operations or financial position for or at any future period or date.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1996


1.  Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

The consolidated  financial  statements of Superior  Communications  Group, Inc.
(SCGI) include the accounts of SCGI and its wholly owned subsidiaries,  Superior
Communications of Kentucky, Inc. (SCKI) and Superior Communications of Oklahoma,
Inc. (SCOI), which are collectively referred to as the Company. All intercompany
balances  have  been  eliminated.  The  Company  owns  and  operates  television
broadcasting stations in Lexington, Kentucky and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.

These statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures
normally  included  in the  Company's  annual  financial  statements  have  been
omitted,  as permitted under the applicable  rules and  regulations.  Readers of
these statements  should refer to the financial  statements and notes thereto as
of December 31, 1995 and for the year ended  included  elsewhere in this filing.
The results of operations presented in the accompanying financial statements are
not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

Organization

The Company,  previously known as Superior Communications of Kentucky, L.P. (the
Partnership),  was  incorporated  in  its  current  form  on  January  28,  1994
concurrent with the acquisition of SCOI (Note 2). Effective on January 28, 1994,
the  former  partners  of the  Partnership  exchanged  all of their  partnership
interests  for shares of preferred  and common stock of the newly formed  parent
company,  SCGI,  under a Security  Purchase  and  Exchange  Agreement  (Exchange
Agreement) and the  Partnership  was then  dissolved.  Additionally,  the former
corporate  general  partner  of the  Partnership  was  also  dissolved  and  the
shareholders of the general partner  exchanged certain operating assets with the
Company  for  preferred  and  common  stock.  Furthermore,  under  the  Exchange
Agreement,  SCGI then contributed the operating assets of the former partnership
to the newly formed SCKI in exchange for all of the outstanding  common stock of
SCKI.

2.  Acquisition of Station

On January 28, 1994, SBI, a newly formed corporation and wholly owned subsidiary
of the  Company,  purchased  all of  the  outstanding  stock  of  Oklahoma  City
Broadcasting  Company (OCBC) for $10,973,241.  The acquisition was accounted for
as a purchase  transaction with the purchase price being allocated to the assets
and  liabilities  acquired  based upon their fair  market  values at the date of
acquisition.  In  connection  with  the  transaction,  SBI also  entered  into a
noncompete  agreement with the seller of OCBC valued at $1,500,000,  for which a
note payable was issued to the seller.  The cost of the noncompete  agreement is
being  amortized over the five-year term of the agreement.  The  acquisition was
financed  from the  issuance of stock for  $3,100,000  and from bank debt in the
amount of  $7,873,241.  Concurrent  with the  acquisition,  SBI and OCBC merged,
forming SCOI.

3. Due to Related Parties

Amounts due to related  parties  consist of fees charged by  shareholders of the
Company  in  connection  with the  acquisition  of the  Partnership  (Note 1) in
November 1992 and includes accrued interest at 7.75%.

4.  Sale of Station

On March 4, 1996, the shareholders of the Company entered into an agreement with
an unrelated entity to sell all of the Company's outstanding shares of preferred
and common stock.  Pursuant to the terms of the stock  purchase  agreement,  the
buyer will cause the Company to pay in full all of the  outstanding  debt of the
Company  plus  accrued  interest and  prepayment  penalties.  The balance of the
proceeds will be distributed to the selling shareholders.

                   Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
                                 March 31, 1996


1.  Business Description

River City Broadcasting,  L.P. (River City Broadcasting or the Partnership) is a
limited  partnership  formed to purchase and operate  broadcast  properties  and
related  activities.   River  City  Broadcasting  has  acquired  nine  broadcast
television  stations and 24 radio stations.  The  Partnership  also operates one
television  station and three radio  stations under local  marketing  agreements
(LMAs).  River City  Broadcasting  is managed by its general  partner subject to
terms and conditions  specified in the Second Amended and Restated Agreement and
conditions  specified in the Second  Amended and  Restated  Agreement of Limited
Partnership (Limited Partnership Agreement).

On  September 3, 1993,  River City  Broadcasting  entered into a  Reorganization
Agreement,  whereby additional equity funding was injected into the Partnership,
and certain partners' interests were redeemed (the Recapitalization).

These statements are unaudited, and certain information and footnote disclosures
normally  included  in the  Company's  annual  financial  statements  have  been
omitted,  as permitted under the applicable  rules and  regulations.  Readers of
these statements  should refer to the financial  statements and notes thereto as
of December 31, 1995 and for the year ended  included  elsewhere in this filing.
The results of operations presented in the accompanying financial statements are
not necessarily representative of operations for an entire year.

Related Party Transactions

Prior to the  Recapitalization,  the general  partner  received a management fee
from  each  station  primarily  based  on  the  individual  station's  revenues.
Subsequent  to the  Recapitalization,  the  general  partner no longer  received
management  fees.  Pursuant  to the  Recapitalization,  corporate  expenses  are
allocated  to each  station  to  cover  the  salaries  and  expenses  of  senior
management.  Such  allocation is based upon certain  financial  information  and
management's  estimate of actual time spent.  Management believes the allocation
is reasonable and approximates what the expense would have been on a stand-alone
basis.

Subsequent Event

In January 1996, the Partnership acquired the remaining 40% partnership interest
in Twin Peaks  Radio  which  owned and  operated  three  radio  stations  in the
Albuquerque, New Mexico area.
