ITEM 15.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
 
     The Company is a Delaware corporation. The Company's Certificate of
Incorporation and Bylaws provide for the mandatory indemnification of the
directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Delaware General
Corporation Law. Reference is made to the Delaware General Corporation Law and
to Section 145 thereof, which permits, and in some cases requires,
indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents of the Company
under certain circumstances, subject to certain limitations.
 
     The Delaware general corporation law permits the indemnification by a
Delaware corporation of its directors, officers, employees and other agents
against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid
in settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than derivative
actions that are by or in the right of the corporation) if they acted in good
faith and in a manner they reasonably believe to be in or not opposed to the
best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was illegal. A
similar standard of care is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except
that indemnification extends only to expenses (including attorneys' fees)
incurred in connection with defense or settlement of such an action, and court
approval is required before there can be any indemnification if the person
seeking indemnification has been found liable to the corporation.
 
   
     The underwriters also will agree to indemnify the directors and officers of
the Company against certain liabilities as set forth in Section 8 of the
Underwriting Agreement (see Exhibit 1 hereof).
    
 
     The Company has purchased insurance with respect to, among other things,
any liabilities that may arise under the statutory provisions referred to above.

ITEM 17.  UNDERTAKINGS.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the
Company pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Company has been
advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission, such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in said act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Company of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Company in the
successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such
director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
 
     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an
employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to section 15(d) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the
registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement
relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities
at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Re:     Registration Statement on Form S-3
                (File No. 333-10267)

Gentlemen:

        We have acted as counsel for Paxson Communications Corporation (the
"Company") in connection with the Registration Statement (the "Registration
Statement") on Form S-3 (File No. 333-10267) filed by the Company with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the purpose of registering under the
Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act") an aggregate of 150,000 shares of
the __% Cumulative Exchangeable Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, of
the Company (the "Preferred Stock"), and such indeterminate amount of the
Company's __% Exchange Debentures due 2006 (the "Exchange Debentures") as may
be issuable upon exchange of the Preferred Stock.

        For purposes of rendering the opinion expressed herein, we have
examined originals, or copies certified to our satisfaction, of such corporate
records of the Company, certificates of public officials and representatives of
the Company, and other documents as we have deemed it necessary to require as a
basis for such opinion.

        Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for legal considerations
that we deem relevant, it is our opinion that the Preferred Stock will be, when
and if issued and sold as contemplated in the Registration Statement, duly
authorized, legally issued and fully paid and non-assessable, and that the
Exchange Debentures, when and if issued in exchange for Preferred Stock as
contemplated in the Registration Statement, will constitute binding obligations
of the Company, subject to the limitations of bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, moratorium or other laws or judicial decisions affecting the
enforcement of creditors' rights generally and general principles of equity.

Registration Statement, and to the reference to this firm under the caption
"Legal Matters" contained in the prospectus filed as a part thereof.  In giving
such consent, we do not thereby admit that we are in the category of persons
whose consent is required under Section 7 of the Securities Act.
