     This Registration Statement contains two forms of prospectus, one to be
used in connection with a United States offering to U.S. or Canadian Persons (as
defined) (the "U.S. Prospectus") and one to be used in connection with a

prospectuses relate to a public offering of 11,500,000 shares of Class A Common
Stock, par value $.001 per share, of Paxson Communications Corporation. The

front cover page, a "Certain United States Tax Consequences to Non-United States
Holders" section and a back cover page. All other pages of the U.S. Prospectus
are to be used for both the United States offering and the international
offering. Each alternate page for the International Prospectus included herein
is labeled "Alternate Page for International Prospectus."

                CERTAIN DEFINITIONS AND MARKET AND INDUSTRY DATA
 
     The terms "EBITDA," "broadcast cash flow," "segment operating profit" and
"Adjusted EBITDA" are referred to in various places in this Prospectus. EBITDA
is defined as net income (loss) before (i) extraordinary item and cumulative
effect of a change in accounting principle, (ii) benefit (provision) for income
taxes, (iii) other income (expense), net, (iv) interest expense, (v)
depreciation and amortization, (vi) option plan compensation and (vii)
non-recurring items including terminated operations, less scheduled broadcast
rights payments. Broadcast cash flow is defined as income (loss) from broadcast
operations plus non-cash expenses, less scheduled broadcast rights payments and
non-cash revenue. Although EBITDA and broadcast cash flow are not measures of
performance under United States generally accepted accounting principles
("GAAP"), the terms are widely used in the broadcast industry as a measure of a
broadcasting company's financial performance. "Segment operating profit" is
defined as segment EBITDA before corporate overhead allocations. "Adjusted
EBITDA" is defined as EBITDA for the period, less (i) operating profit for the
Infomall TV Network segment for such period plus (ii) four times such segment's
operating profit for the most recently completed quarter prior to the measuring
date. Neither EBITDA, broadcast cash flow, segment operating profit, nor
Adjusted EBITDA, should be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net
income, cash flows from operating activities and other income or cash flow
statement data prepared in accordance with GAAP, or as a measure of
profitability or liquidity.
 
     The term "time brokerage agreement" (known in the broadcast industry as a
"local marketing agreement"), generally refers to an agreement under which a
radio or television programmer agrees to purchase from a broadcast station
licensee substantially all of the broadcast time on a station, provides
programming and sells advertising during the purchased time, receives all the
revenue derived from advertising sold during the purchased time, pays certain
expenses of the station and performs other functions, with the licensee
retaining responsibility for ultimate control of the station in accordance with
FCC policies. Time brokerage agreements are more fully described in
"Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting." The term "joint sales
agreement" (a "JSA") refers to an agreement under which a broadcast station
agrees to provide sales and marketing services for another broadcast station
while the owner of such broadcast station provides the programming for such
other broadcast station.
 
     Unless otherwise indicated herein, all market rankings, audience ratings
and audience rankings have been derived for the indicated radio station or group
of radio stations from surveys of the indicated demographic group listening
Monday-Sunday, 6:00 a.m. to 12:00 midnight, as reported by Arbitron, Radio
Market Report, The Arbitron Company ("Arbitron"). Unless otherwise indicated,
audience share data is expressed as the local average quarter-hour share for
each indicated radio station. A radio station's local audience share is derived
by comparing the radio station's average quarter-hour share to the total average
quarter-hour share for all radio stations listed as inside the Metro Survey Area
by Arbitron. Average quarter-hour share is a percentage of the estimated number
of persons who listen to a given radio station for a minimum of five minutes
within a quarter-hour compared to the total number of persons who listen to
radio in the market within such quarter-hour. The most recent Arbitron survey
utilized in this Prospectus is Fall 1995.
 
     Market radio advertising revenue, revenue share data and revenue rankings
for radio stations have been obtained from Miller, Kaplan Market Revenue Report,
a monthly publication of Miller, Kaplan, Arase & Co., Certified Public
Accountants ("Miller Kaplan"); provided, however, that market radio advertising
revenue, revenue share data, and revenue rankings for the Company's radio
stations in the Cookeville, Tennessee area have been estimated by the Company
without the benefit of any independent investigation or confirmation, as no
published data on that survey area is available from Miller Kaplan. Arbitron and
Miller Kaplan both compile their audience share, revenue share, revenue ranking
and other statistical data under procedures and methodologies that are
described, and that have the limitations provided, in their respective reports.
All such information provided herein is subject to those limitations. This
Prospectus reflects data from the December 1995 Miller, Kaplan Market Review

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     Paxson Communications Corporation (the "Company" or "Paxson
Communications") has created a nationwide network of television stations
dedicated to the airing of infomercial programming (the "Infomall TV Network" or
"inTV"*). In addition, the Company has a significant radio and
network-affiliated television broadcasting presence in the state of Florida. The
Company owns 16 radio stations in the four largest Florida cities, and will own
19 such stations upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions (as defined), and
owns one network-affiliated television station and operates another pursuant to
a time brokerage agreement in the West Palm Beach market.
 
     The Company introduced its Infomall TV Network in January 1995 with four
television stations. inTV has expanded rapidly and currently consists of 24
owned, operated pursuant to a time brokerage agreement or affiliated inTV
stations. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will have 28
owned or operated inTV stations and four affiliated inTV stations operating in
30 television markets, 20 of which are among the 30 largest in the United
States. The Company expects the Proposed Acquisitions to be consummated over the
next ten months, subject to receipt of regulatory approvals. See "The Proposed
Acquisitions."
 
     The Company believes that (i) its inTV stations comprise the only national
network of television stations dedicated to the airing of infomercial
programming, (ii) its inTV stations represent a valuable national television
broadcasting distribution infrastructure that would be difficult and expensive
to replicate, and (iii) its radio and network-affiliated television stations in
Florida's five largest markets provide it with a significant statewide presence.
 
     The Company was founded in 1991 by Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson. Mr. Paxson has
been at the forefront of several innovative broadcasting concepts over the last
decade, including his leadership role in the creation and early growth of
electronic retailing as the creator and co-founder of Home Shopping Network,
Inc. and Silver King Communications, Inc. Mr. Paxson has made equity investments
in the Company in excess of $33 million.
 
BUSINESS STRATEGY
 
     The Company's business strategy is to increase revenue and cash flow by (i)
expanding its inTV network, (ii) applying its multiple station operating
strategy to its television and radio properties, (iii) exploring the additional
distribution potential of the television stations comprising its national inTV
network, and (iv) acquiring additional radio stations, primarily in Florida
markets.
 
INFOMALL TV NETWORK
 
     In January 1995, Paxson Communications introduced the Infomall TV Network
in order to capitalize on what the Company believes to be a rapidly growing
industry. The Company has assembled 24 stations dedicated to inTV programming
and has entered into agreements with respect to eight stations in seven
additional markets to be owned or operated by the Company as inTV stations. The
Company believes that its

network of inTV stations is the only group of broadcast television stations in
the United States that offers infomercial advertisers significant national,
regional and local distribution capability and airtime during each of the
popular morning, daytime and prime time viewing hours.
 
     The television stations acquired by the Company and converted to inTV
stations are typically non-network-affiliated stations with marginal operating
results that can be acquired at a relatively low cost compared to
network-affiliated stations. Certain of these stations are licensed to
communities outside the center of major television markets, but within such
markets' designated market area ("DMA") and by virtue of the FCC's "must carry"
rules are thus generally entitled to carriage on cable systems within such DMA.
Through the exercise of "must carry" rights and the improvement of its stations'
over-the-air signals, the Company intends to continue its efforts to maximize
its cable household coverage within its markets beyond the 53.7% achieved
currently. The Company's goal is to reach approximately 85% of the cable homes
in its markets (although there can be no assurance that the Company will reach
such goal). The Company believes that it also reaches a significant number of
over-the-air television households that do not receive cable television. The
markets to be served by the Company upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions
currently contain approximately 44.2 million television households, of which
28.6 million are served by cable television. The Company continues to evaluate
the acquisition of or affiliation with additional independent television
stations to further extend the national reach of its Infomall TV Network.
 
     Shortly after the Company acquires a television station or commences
operating a television station pursuant to a time brokerage agreement, the
Company replaces the existing programming with infomercial programming. The
Company's infomercial programming format allows it to eliminate substantially
all programming expenses and achieve significant reductions in other operating
expenses. Unlike traditional television stations, inTV programming is paid for
by the advertiser as opposed to the broadcaster. The Company centralizes many
accounting, traffic and national sales functions at its headquarters, minimizing
the staff required at each station location. The Company's inTV stations are
connected through a wide area computer network enabling them to utilize common
computerized financial and sales systems. Engineering functions are standardized
through the purchase of similar equipment at each location for editing,
playback-to-air and signal transmission, thereby reducing maintenance expense.
As a result, the Company's inTV stations are operated by an average of 15
people, compared to network and independent television stations which average
over 100 and 60 people, respectively, in markets of similar size to the
Company's. To date, each of the inTV stations owned or operated by the Company
has contributed rapidly to broadcast cash flow, typically within two months
after the commencement of inTV operations.
 
PAXSON RADIO
 
     Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, Paxson Communications will
own and operate 24 radio stations (13 FM and 11 AM stations), with more radio
stations in Florida than any other broadcaster. The Company operates two FM and
two AM stations, commonly referred to as a "duopoly," serving each of Florida's
four largest cities (Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville), and has agreed to
acquire two additional FM stations in the Miami market and an additional FM
station in the Jacksonville market. In addition, the Company owns and operates
an AM/FM combination in Cookeville, Tennessee, and has agreed to acquire an
additional AM/FM combination in that market, and has a joint sales agreement
with an AM station in Miami in which the Company owns a 49% interest. The
Company operates six radio networks with 338 affiliated radio stations in the
eastern and southeastern United States and controls 67 billboard locations (161
faces) in the Tampa and Orlando markets that support the Company's radio station
operations and provide advertising revenue.
 
     The Company believes that its established position among the leading radio
broadcast groups in each of its Florida markets differentiates it from its
competitors and makes the Company attractive to regional and national
advertisers. In addition to having leading positions in its markets, the Company
believes that its Florida markets are highly attractive and among the fastest
growing radio markets in the nation.
 
     The Company's radio operating strategy, which is implemented by the
Company's highly experienced management team, is to capitalize on the revenue
enhancing and cost saving opportunities of operating
 
                                        2
<PAGE>   9
 
multiple FM and AM stations in geographically proximate markets. The principal
elements of the Company's operating strategy include: (i) extensive market
research, (ii) aggressive marketing and promotion and (iii) strict cost
controls.
 
PAXSON NETWORK-AFFILIATED TELEVISION
 
     Paxson Communications owns and operates an ABC-TV affiliate, WPBF-TV, in
the West Palm Beach market. Pursuant to a time brokerage agreement, the Company
provides programming and markets commercial time for a second television
station, WTVX-TV (a combined United Paramount Network and Warner Brothers
Network affiliate), which is also in the West Palm Beach market. The West Palm
Beach television market is one of the fastest growing markets in the country as
evidenced by its increased market ranking from 65th in 1985 to 45th in 1995.
 
     The Company acquired WPBF-TV in July 1994 for approximately $32.5 million
and began operating WTVX-TV under a time brokerage agreement in August 1995. The
Company has a long-term option to acquire WTVX-TV for approximately $19 million.
The Company's television operating strategy is similar to its radio operating
strategy as the Company seeks to capitalize on the revenue enhancing and cost
saving opportunities from operating two television stations in one market from a
single studio facility. After the acquisition of WPBF-TV, the Company installed
its management team and implemented a program of cost rationalization measures
consisting of, among other things, a reduction in program rights payments, an
increase in salesperson commissions related to additional staffing and higher
revenues, and increased local news expenses to generate higher audience ratings.

at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of
operations for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1995 and the notes thereto, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations," "Pro Forma Financial Information" and
"Selected Historical and Pro Forma Financial Data" included elsewhere herein.
 
   
     The following unaudited summary pro forma statement of operations data and
other data for the year ended December 31, 1995 give effect to (i) the
consummation of the Offering; (ii) significant business acquisitions of KZKI-TV,
WGOT-TV, and WTVX-TV; (iii) the issuance of $230,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of Senior Subordinated Notes, issued on September 28, 1995 (the "Notes");
(iv) proposed significant business acquisitions for WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM; and (v)
the exercise of the Station Options (see "The Proposed Acquisitions" for certain
information concerning the Station Options), as if such events had occurred on
January 1, 1995. WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM are the only Proposed Acquisitions which
are considered to be significant business acquisitions and all other Proposed
Acquisitions are asset acquisitions or immaterial both individually and in the
aggregate and therefore are not required to be included in the pro forma
financial information. Prior operators' fiscal years have been conformed to the
Company's December 31, 1995 year end. In addition, depreciation and amortization
expense has been increased for the period to reflect preliminary purchase
accounting allocations for all stations included in the Proposed Acquisitions
and Station Options. The following unaudited summary pro forma balance sheet
data at December 31, 1995 gives effect to (i) the consummation of the Offering;
(ii) the Proposed Acquisitions and related capital expenditures; (iii) capital
expenditures on existing properties; (iv) the exercise of the Station Options;
(v) the termination of the holders' put on the Class A and Class B common stock
warrants; (vi) acquisitions and dispositions which have closed subsequent to
December 31, 1995; and (vii) the acquisition of a note receivable from Mr.
Paxson, as if such events included in (i) through (vii) had occurred on December
31, 1995. The Offering and the Proposed Acquisitions and certain management
assumptions and adjustments are described in the accompanying notes hereto. The
pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the Company's
consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto, as of December 31, 1995
and for the three years then ended, included elsewhere in this Prospectus. See
"Pro Forma Financial Information" appearing elsewhere in this Prospectus. This
pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the Company's actual or
future operating results or financial position.

            NOTES TO SUMMARY HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
                                 (IN THOUSANDS)
 
   
    (a) Pro forma statement of operations data and other data for the year ended
December 31, 1995 gives effect to (i) the consummation of the Offering; (ii)
significant business acquisitions of KZKI-TV, WGOT-TV, and WTVX-TV; (iii)
issuance of the Notes on September 28, 1995; (iv) proposed significant business
acquisitions of WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM; and (v) the exercise of the Station Options
as if such events had occurred on January 1, 1995. WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM are the
only Proposed Acquisitions which are considered to be significant business
acquisitions and all other Proposed Acquisitions are asset acquisitions or are
immaterial both individually and in the aggregate and therefore are not required
to be included in the pro forma financial information. Prior operators' fiscal
years have been conformed to the Company's December 31, 1995 year end. In
addition, depreciation and amortization expense has been increased for the
period to reflect preliminary purchase accounting allocations for all stations
included in the Proposed Acquisitions and Station Options. The pro forma balance
sheet data as of December 31, 1995 gives effect to: (i) the consummation of the
Offering; (ii) the Proposed Acquisitions and related capital expenditures; (iii)
capital expenditures on existing properties; (iv) the exercise of the Station
Options; (v) the termination of the holders' put on the Class A and Class B
common stock warrants; (vi) acquisitions and dispositions which have closed
subsequent to December 31, 1995; and (vii) the acquisition of a note receivable
from Mr. Paxson, as if such events included in (i) through (vii) had occurred on
December 31, 1995.
    
 
    (b) Option plan compensation represents a non-cash charge associated with
the granting of common stock options to employees under the Company's Stock
Incentive Plan. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations" and "Management -- Stock
Incentive Plan."
 
    (c) Extraordinary item and cumulative effect of a change in accounting
principle reflects a gain of $110 in 1992 as a result of a change in the method
of calculating depreciation and an extraordinary loss of $457 and $10,626 in
1993 and 1995, respectively, associated with the write-off of capitalized
financing costs on debt retired.
 
    (d) Dividends and accretion on preferred stock and common stock warrants
represent the Senior Preferred Stock (as defined herein) (15% dividend rate),
redeemable Class A and Class B common stock warrants and Junior Preferred Stock
(as defined herein) (12% dividend rate). Such capital stock is mandatorily
redeemable and certain issues accrete. See "Description of Capital Stock."
 
    (e) Loss per share data for the years ended December 31, 1993 and 1994 give
a pro forma effect to (i) the Company's amended capital structure related to the
merger with ANG; and (ii) a stock dividend on common shares outstanding on
January 1, 1995. For periods prior to January 1, 1993, loss per share data was
not computed as such amounts were not relevant.
 
    (f) Weighted average shares outstanding for the years ended December 31,
1993 and 1994 give pro forma effect to an increase in the weighted average
number of shares outstanding relating to (i) the merger with ANG of 21,055 and
22,287 shares, respectively; and (ii) a stock dividend on common shares
outstanding on January 1, 1995 of 10,527 and 11,143 shares, respectively. For
periods prior to January 1, 1993, weighted average shares outstanding was not
computed as such amounts were not relevant.
 
    (g) EBITDA is defined as net income (loss) before (i) extraordinary item and
cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle; (ii) benefit (provision)
for income taxes; (iii) other income (expense), net; (iv) interest expense; (v)
depreciation and amortization; (vi) option plan compensation; and (vii)
non-recurring items including terminated operations; less scheduled broadcast
rights payments.
 
    (h) Includes all capital expenditures including expenditures associated with
the upgrade and conversion of acquired and operated television stations to the
inTV format. Pro forma capital expenditures exclude $38,550 of capital
expenditures associated with the Proposed Acquisitions and additional capital
expenditures on existing properties which will be funded from proceeds of the
Offering.
 
    (i) Adjusted EBITDA is defined as EBITDA for the latest twelve months ended
December 31, 1995, less (i) segment operating profit for the Infomall TV Network
for such period plus (ii) four times segment operating profit for the Infomall
TV Network for the quarter ended December 31, 1995. Adjusted EBITDA is
calculated on a basis consistent with calculations under the Indenture (as
defined).
 
    (j) The put rights of the holders of the Class A and Class B common stock
warrants will be terminated upon the closing of the Offering and such warrants
are not included in the pro forma amount at December 31, 1995.

                                  RISK FACTORS
 
     Prospective investors should consider carefully the following risk factors
in addition to the other information set forth in this Prospectus before
purchasing the Class A Common Stock.
 
HIGH LEVEL OF INDEBTEDNESS; ABILITY TO SERVICE INDEBTEDNESS
 
     The Company is highly leveraged. At December 31, 1995, on a pro forma
basis, after giving effect to this Offering and the Proposed Acquisitions, the
Company would have had $258.0 million of total debt, including $227.4 million of
Notes, and $50.7 million of redeemable preferred stock. In addition, subject to
restrictions in the indenture governing the Notes (the "Indenture") and the
Company's $100 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the "New Credit
Facility"), the Company may incur additional indebtedness from time to time to
finance acquisitions or capital expenditures or for other corporate purposes.
Interest expense for the years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 was $2.1
million, $5.2 million and $16.3 million, respectively.
 
     The level of the Company's indebtedness could have important consequences
to stockholders, including: (i) a substantial part of the Company's cash flow
from operations must be dedicated to debt service and will not be available for
other purposes; (ii) the Company's ability to obtain additional financing in the
future, if needed, may be limited; (iii) the Company's leveraged position and
covenants contained in the Indenture and the New Credit Facility (or any
replacement thereof) could limit its ability to expand and make capital
improvements and acquisitions; (iv) the Indenture and the New Credit Facility
contain certain restrictive covenants, including covenants that restrict or
prohibit the payment of dividends or other distributions by the Company to its
stockholders; and (v) the Company's level of indebtedness could make it more
vulnerable to economic downturns, limit its ability to withstand competitive
pressures and limit its flexibility in reacting to changes in its industry and
economic conditions generally. Certain of the Company's competitors currently
operate on a less leveraged basis and may have significantly greater operating
and financing flexibility than the Company.
 
     The Company's ability to satisfy its debt obligations and to pay dividends
on its Preferred Stock (as defined herein) and Common Stock will depend upon its
future operating performance, which will be affected by prevailing economic
conditions and financial, business and other factors, many of which are beyond
its control. The Company expects that its operating cash flow will be sufficient
to meet its operating expenses and to service its debt and preferred stock
requirements as they become due. If the Company is unable to service its
indebtedness or make payments with respect to its preferred stock, however, it
will be forced to adopt an alternative strategy that may include actions such as
reducing or delaying capital expenditures, selling assets, restructuring or
refinancing its indebtedness or seeking additional equity capital. There can be
no assurance that any of these strategies could be effected on satisfactory
terms, if at all, and the implementation of any of these alternative strategies
could have a negative impact on the value of the Class A Common Stock. In the
event of a liquidation of the Company, the Class A Common Stock would be
subordinate to the Company's debt instruments and its Preferred Stock, as well
as other indebtedness incurred and outstanding preferred stock which may be
issued in the future. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."
 
NET LOSSES
 
     The Company has incurred net losses in each of its fiscal years since
inception. Net losses for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and
1995 were $11.4 million, $4.8 million and $33.5 million, respectively.
Furthermore, the Company's Preferred Stock and certain warrants to purchase
shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock have certain dividend,
redemption and accretion provisions. Net losses attributable to Common Stock for
the fiscal years ended December 31, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were $11.6 million, $8.1
million and $46.8 million, respectively. There can be no assurance that the
Company will not continue to generate net losses in the future.
 
                                       12
<PAGE>   19
 
DEPENDENCE ON KEY PERSONNEL
 
     The Company's business depends upon the efforts, abilities and expertise of
its executive officers and other key employees, including Lowell W. Paxson. If
certain of these executive officers were to leave the Company, the Company's
operating results could be adversely affected. In addition, in the event of Mr.
Paxson's death, the Company may be required, in certain circumstances, to make
an offer to repurchase the Notes and to redeem its Preferred Stock. See "Certain
Transactions -- Stockholders Agreement." However, there can be no assurance that
if such an event were to occur, the Company will have, or will have access to,
sufficient funds to satisfy such repurchase or redemption obligations. The
Company maintains insurance on Mr. Paxson's life, in the amount of five million
dollars. Mr. Paxson has an employment agreement that expires on December 31,
1999, unless terminated sooner as permitted therein. See "Management --
Employment Agreements."
 
"MUST CARRY" REGULATIONS
 
     The Company believes that its growth and success depend in part upon access
to households served by cable television systems. Pursuant to the Cable
Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the "1992 Cable
Act"), each broadcaster was required to elect to exercise either certain "must
carry" or retransmission consent rights in connection with carriage of their
signals by cable systems in their local market. By electing the "must carry"
rights, a broadcaster can demand carriage on a specified channel on cable
systems within its DMA. These "must carry" rights are not absolute, and their
exercise depends on variables such as (i) the number of activated channels on a
cable system, (ii) the location and size of a cable system, and (iii) the amount
of duplicative programming on a broadcast station. Therefore, under certain
circumstances, a cable system can decline to carry a given station.
Alternatively, if a broadcaster chooses to exercise retransmission consent
rights, it can prohibit cable systems from carrying its signal or grant the
appropriate cable system the authority to retransmit the broadcast signal for a
fee or other consideration. The Company's television stations have elected the
"must carry" alternative. The Company's elections of retransmission or "must
carry" status will continue until the next required election date of October 1,
1996.
 
     The "must carry" rules have been subject to judicial scrutiny. In April
1993, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia upheld the
constitutionality of the "must carry" provisions. In June 1994, the Supreme
Court ruled that the "must carry" provisions were content-neutral and, thus, not
subject to strict scrutiny; however, the Supreme Court remanded the case to the
lower federal court with instructions to hold further proceedings with respect
to evidence that lack of the "must carry" requirements would harm local
broadcasting. On December 12, 1995, the District Court again upheld the
constitutionality of the "must carry" provisions. The District Court's most
recent decision has been appealed to the Supreme Court and management cannot
predict the final outcome of the Supreme Court case or the extent to which, in
the absence of any "must carry" obligation, its television stations might lose
viewers because of the deletion or repositioning of its signal on cable
television systems. See "Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting."
 
GOVERNMENT REGULATION
 
     Each of the Company's radio and television stations operates pursuant to
one or more licenses issued by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC")
that expire at different times, commencing in February 1996. The Company may
apply to renew those licenses, and third parties may challenge those
applications. Although the Company has no reason to believe that its licenses
will not be renewed in the ordinary course, there can be no assurance that the
licenses will be renewed.
 
     The radio and television broadcasting industries are subject to extensive
and changing regulation. Among other things, the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Communications Act"), and FCC rules and policies require FCC
consent to assignments of FCC licenses and transfers of control of FCC
licensees. Congress and the FCC currently have under consideration and may in
the future adopt new laws and regulations and policies regarding a wide variety
of matters which could, directly or indirectly, adversely affect the ownership
and operation of the Company's broadcast properties, as well as the Company's
business
 
                                       13

strategies. In addition, relaxation of the existing multiple ownership and
cross-ownership rules and policies by the FCC, as provided in the newly-enacted
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"), removes restrictions on larger
media, entertainment and telecommunications companies, with greater access to
capital and resources than the Company, from competing with the Company for the
acquisition of media properties and the negotiation of programming arrangements.
Changes in the FCC's rules following passage of the 1996 Act, such as
elimination of restrictions on the offering of multiple network services by the
existing major television networks, the relaxation of restrictions on the
participation by the regional Bell holding companies in cable television and
other direct-to-home video technologies, the removal of nationwide restrictions
on radio broadcast ownership and the relaxation of restrictions on nationwide
broadcast television ownership could accelerate the existing trend toward
vertical integration in the telecommunications, media and home entertainment
industries and cause the Company to face more formidable competition in the
future. See "Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting."
 
MULTIPLE OWNERSHIP RULES; TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENTS
 
     Current FCC duopoly rules prohibit ownership interests in two or more
television stations with overlapping service areas. The FCC generally applies
its ownership limits to attributable interests held by an individual,
corporation, partnership or other entity. In the case of corporations holding
broadcast licenses, the interests of officers, directors and those who directly
or indirectly have the right to vote 5% or more of the corporation's voting
stock (or 10% or more of such stock in the case of insurance companies, certain
regulated investment companies and bank trust departments) are generally deemed
to be attributable, as are positions as an officer or director of a corporate
parent of a broadcast licensee. Changes in the rule for attributing the
ownership of media interests for purposes of the FCC's multiple ownership and
cross-ownership rules could require that the Company restructure or divest
itself of some existing broadcast interests.
 
     The 1996 Act eliminated the existing restrictions on the number of
television stations that a single entity may own nationwide and increased the
nationwide ceiling for national television audience reach to 35 percent of the
television households, with UHF stations counting only 50% of their respective
market households. Congress also has directed the FCC to institute a proceeding
to review its present rules to determine whether to retain, modify or eliminate
its present restrictions on the number of television stations in which a single
entity may hold an attributable interest within a single market.
 
     The FCC previously initiated rule making proceedings to consider proposals
to modify its television ownership restrictions, including ones that may permit
ownership, in some circumstances, of two television stations with overlapping
service areas, and these rule making procedures may be incorporated in the
proceedings required by the 1996 Act. The FCC also is considering in these
proceedings whether to adopt restrictions on television time brokerage
agreements. The duopoly rules for television currently prevent the Company from
acquiring the FCC licenses of television stations with which it has time
brokerage agreements in those markets where the Company owns a television or
radio station. In addition, if the FCC were to decide that the provider of
programming services under time brokerage agreements should be treated as having
an attributable ownership in the television station it programs, and if it did
not relax the duopoly rules, or if the FCC were to adopt restrictions on time
brokerage agreements without grandfathering existing time brokerage agreements,
the Company could be required to renegotiate or terminate certain of its time
brokerage agreements. The 1996 Act specifies, however, that none of the
provisions relating to broadcast ownership shall be construed to prohibit the
origination, continuation or renewal of any television time brokerage agreement
that is in compliance with the regulations of the FCC. The Committee Report
accompanying the 1996 Act notes that the Act grandfathers time brokerage
agreements in existence upon enactment of the act and allows time brokerage
agreements in the future, consistent with the FCC's rules. Nevertheless, if the
FCC were to find that the licensees of the stations with which the Company has
time brokerage agreements failed to maintain control over their operations as
required by FCC rules and policies, the licensee of the time brokerage
agreements and/or the Company could be fined or could be set for hearing, the
outcome of which could be a fine or, under certain circumstances, loss of the
applicable FCC license. The Company is unable to
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   21
 
predict the ultimate outcome of possible changes to these FCC rules and the
impact such FCC rules may have on its broadcasting operations. See
"Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting."
 
VOTING CONTROL BY FOUNDING STOCKHOLDER
 
     After the Offering, Lowell W. Paxson will beneficially own approximately
64.5% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock (approximately 61.5% if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full) and 100% of the
outstanding Class B Common Stock and will have 89.0% of the voting power of the
outstanding Common Stock (87.7% if the Underwriters' overallotment option is
exercised in full). As a result, Mr. Paxson will effectively be able to control
the outcome of matters requiring a stockholder vote, including the election of
directors, adopting or amending provisions of the Company's certificate of
incorporation and bylaws, and approving certain mergers or other similar
transactions, such as a sale of substantially all the Company's assets. See
"Principal and Selling Stockholders."
 
     Purchasers of Class A Common Stock offered hereby will become minority
stockholders of the Company and will be unable to control the management or
business policies of the Company. Moreover, subject to contractual restrictions
and general fiduciary obligations, the Company is not prohibited from engaging
in transactions with its management and principal stockholders, or with entities
in which such persons are interested. The Company's certificate of incorporation
does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
 
ANTI-TAKEOVER EFFECT OF CHARTER PROVISIONS, BYLAWS, AND STATE LAW
 
     The Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws and Delaware law
contain provisions that may have the effect of inhibiting a non-negotiated
merger or other business combination. These provisions are intended to encourage
a person interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate with, and to obtain
the approval of, the Board of Directors in connection with the transaction.
However, certain of these provisions may discourage a future acquisition of the
Company, including an acquisition in which stockholders might otherwise receive
a premium for their shares. As a result, stockholders who might desire to
participate in such a transaction may not have the opportunity to do so. See
"Description of Capital Stock -- Certain Provisions of the Company's Certificate
of Incorporation" and "-- Bylaws."
 
   
     In addition to its authorized shares of Common Stock, the Company's
certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of up to 1,000,000 shares
of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has authority to determine the price,
rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions, including the voting rights of
those shares, without any further vote or action by the stockholders. Of the
1,000,000 shares of preferred stock that the Company is authorized to issue, as
of December 31, 1995: (a) 2,000 shares have been designated as 15% Cumulative
Compounding Redeemable Preferred Stock, (b) 714.286 shares have been designated
as Series B 15% Cumulative Compounding Redeemable Preferred Stock, and (c)
33,000 shares have been designated as Junior Cumulative Compounding Redeemable
Preferred Stock. The holders of the Company's outstanding Preferred Stock have
rights which are generally senior to those of the holders of the Common Stock,
including certain voting, redemption and other rights which could have the
effect of inhibiting a change in control of the Company without the consent of
such holders and thereby delay, discourage or prevent a future acquisition of
control of the Company. The rights of holders of Common Stock will be subject
to, and may be adversely affected by, the rights of holders of any Preferred
Stock that may be issued in the future. The issuance of Preferred Stock, while
providing desirable flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and
other corporate purposes, could have the effect of making it more difficult for
a third party to acquire a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the
Company. The Company has no current plans to issue additional shares of
preferred stock. See "Description of Capital Stock."
    
 
SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE; REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     Upon consummation of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding a
total of 37,396,954 shares of Class A Common Stock (38,778,954 shares if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), which gives effect to
the issuance of 843,000 shares upon the exercise of options and warrants
(1,657,000 if the
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   22
 
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), 8,311,639 shares of
Class B Common Stock and no shares of Class C Common Stock. Generally, shares of
Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock are convertible to shares of Class
A Common Stock at the option of the holder thereof. In addition, there will be
outstanding options to purchase an aggregate of 1,639,205 shares of Class A
Common Stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 2,441,379 shares of Class
A Common Stock, 813,793 shares of Class B Common Stock and 4,472,628 shares of
Class C Common Stock, all of which are currently exercisable. Of the outstanding
shares, the shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the Offering will be freely
transferable without restriction under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), except for any such shares purchased by "affiliates" of
the Company as that term is defined in Rule 144 of the Securities Act ("Rule
144"), which will be subject to the limitations of Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. 24,672,686 shares of Class A Common Stock, all 8,311,639 shares of Class B
Common Stock and all shares of Class C Common Stock, including any such shares
acquired upon the exercise of outstanding options or warrants, will be
"restricted securities" for purposes of Rule 144 and, subject to the agreement
discussed below, may not be resold unless registered under the Securities Act or
sold pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration thereunder, including
the exemptions contained in Rule 144. All of such restricted shares are eligible
for sale on the open market under Rule 144 (subject to the volume and manner of
sale limitations of that rule) except for (i) shares issued upon the exercise of
warrants to purchase Class C Common Stock which will be so eligible for sale,
commencing in December 1996 (unless a proposed amendment to Rule 144 is adopted
by the Commission, in which case all such shares would immediately be eligible
for sale on the open market under Rule 144 (subject to the volume and manner of
sale limitations of that rule)); (ii) 94,767 shares of Class A Common Stock
which shall be so eligible in April 1997 (or in April 1996 if such proposed
amendment is adopted); and (iii) 441,376 shares of Class A Common Stock which
shall be so eligible in July 1997 (or in July 1996 if such proposed amendment is
adopted).
 
     The Company is a party to a stockholders' agreement (the "Stockholders
Agreement") with certain of its stockholders, which grants them the right to
require the Company, subject to certain limitations, to effect up to five
"demand" registrations under the Securities Act for the sale of such
stockholders' shares of Common Stock. The Stockholders Agreement also provides
that in the event that the Company proposes to register any of its Common Stock
under the Securities Act, whether or not for its own account, at any time or
times, the stockholders that are parties to the Stockholders Agreement shall be
entitled, with certain exceptions, to include their shares of Common Stock in
such registration unless the managing underwriters of such offering exclude some
or all of such shares from such registration under the circumstances specified
in the Stockholders Agreement.
 
   
     The Company, its executive officers and directors and certain of the
Company's existing stockholders have generally agreed that, for a period of 180
days from the date of this Prospectus, they will not, without the prior consent
of Smith Barney Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of, any
shares of capital stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, capital stock of the Company. Such restrictions
have certain exceptions, including permitting the Company to issue capital stock
in connection with acquisitions, including the Proposed Acquisitions. See
"Underwriting."
    
 
     Because there has been only a limited public market for shares of the Class
A Common Stock, the Company is unable to predict the effect, if any, that future
sales of shares, or the availability of shares for future sale, will have on the
market price for the Class A Common Stock prevailing from time to time. Sales of
substantial amounts of Class A Common Stock, or the perception that such sales
could occur, could adversely affect market prices for the Class A Common Stock
and could impair the Company's future ability to obtain capital through an
offering of equity securities.
 
CHANGE OF CONTROL
 
     A "change of control" (as defined in the New Credit Facility) constitutes
an event of default under the New Credit Facility. In the event of a "change of
control" (as defined in the Indenture), the Company is required to offer to
repurchase all of the outstanding Notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof
plus any accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of the purchase. A
"change of control" (as defined with respect to the Preferred Stock) will
require the Company to redeem the Senior Preferred Stock and pay a
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   23
 
   
significantly higher dividend on the Junior Preferred Stock, unless it is
redeemed. The exercise by the holders of the Notes of their right to require the
Company to repurchase the Notes upon a change of control could also cause a
default under the New Credit Facility and other indebtedness of the Company. The
Company's ability to repurchase the Notes or to repay such indebtedness may be
limited by the Company's then existing financial resources. There can be no
assurance that in the event of any such change of control, the Company will
have, or will have access to, sufficient funds or will be contractually
permitted under the terms of outstanding indebtedness to pay the required
purchase price for all Notes tendered by holders upon a change of control, repay
outstanding indebtedness or redeem Senior Preferred Stock or Junior Preferred
Stock. See "Description of Capital Stock -- Senior Preferred Stock" and
"-- Junior Preferred Stock."
    
 
NEW INDUSTRY
 
     inTV operates in a relatively new industry with a limited operating
history. Potential investors should be aware of the difficulties and uncertainty
that are normally associated with new industries, including a lack of consumer
and advertiser acceptance, difficulty in obtaining financing, increasing
competition, advances in technology, and changes in law and regulations. There
can be no assurance that this new industry will develop and continue as a viable
industry. Such development could require the Company to sell its owned inTV
dedicated television stations or convert them to other uses that are less
profitable than expected. Growth in revenue from the Company's inTV business
depends on increasing consumer awareness and acceptance of infomercial
programming and growing demand by infomercial advertisers. See "Business --
Infomall TV Network."
 
ABILITY TO MANAGE GROWTH
 
     Since inception, the Company has experienced rapid growth, primarily
through acquisitions. Rapidly growing businesses frequently encounter unforeseen
expenses and delays in completing acquisitions, as well as difficulties and
complications in integrating acquired operations without disruption to overall
operations. In addition, such rapid growth may adversely affect the Company's
operating results because of many factors, including capital requirements,
transitional management and operating adjustments, and interest costs associated
with acquisition debt. There can be no assurance that the Company will
successfully integrate recently acquired and future acquired operations or
successfully manage the costs often associated with rapid growth. While the
Company has no probable or pending significant acquisitions other than the
Proposed Acquisitions and the exercise of the Station Options, the Company
continuously evaluates the acquisition or operation of additional television and
radio stations.
 
TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENTS -- RIGHTS OF PREEMPTION AND TERMINATION
 
     Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the exercise of the Station
Options and the restructuring of the Company's investment in WTWS-TV, the
Company will operate six television stations pursuant to time brokerage
agreements, which stations will not be owned by the Company. The Company will
have options to purchase three of such stations. All of the Company's time
brokerage agreements allow, in accordance with FCC rules, regulations and
policies, preemption of the Company's programming by the FCC licensee of each
station with which the Company has a time brokerage agreement. In addition, each
time brokerage agreement provides that under certain limited circumstances it
may be terminated by the FCC licensee. Accordingly, there can be no assurance
that the Company will be able to air all the programming expected to be aired on
those stations with which it has a time brokerage agreement or that the Company
will receive the expected advertising revenue from the sale of advertising in
such programming. Although the Company believes that the terms and conditions of
each of its time brokerage agreements should enable the Company to air and
utilize the programming and other non-broadcast license assets of the respective
stations, there can be no assurance that early terminations of the time
brokerage agreements or unexpected preemptions of all or a significant part of
the programming by the FCC licensee of such stations will not occur. An early
termination of one of the Company's time brokerage agreements or repeated and
material preemptions of programming could adversely affect the Company's
operations. In addition, the Company's time brokerage agreements generally have
expiration dates ranging from seven to ten years. The Company expects its future
time brokerage agreements to have terms of not more than ten years. There can be
no assurance that the Company will be able to negotiate extensions of its time
brokerage agreements on terms satisfactory to the Company.

INDUSTRY AND ECONOMIC CONDITIONS; SEASONALITY
 
     The profitability of the Company's radio and television stations is subject
to various factors that influence the radio and television broadcasting
industries as a whole. The Company's radio and television stations may be
affected by numerous factors, including changes in audience tastes, priorities
of advertisers, new laws and governmental regulations and policies, changes in
broadcast technical requirements, technological changes, proposals to eliminate
the tax deductibility of expenses incurred by advertisers and changes in the
willingness of financial institutions and other lenders to finance radio and
television station acquisitions and operations. The Company cannot predict
which, if any, of these or other factors might have a significant impact on the
radio and television broadcasting industry in the future, nor can it predict
what impact, if any, the occurrence of these or other events might have on the
Company's operations. Generally, advertising tends to decline during economic
recession or downturn. Consequently, the Company's broadcasting revenue is
likely to be adversely affected by a recession or downturn in the United States
economy or other events or circumstances that adversely affect advertising
activity. In addition, the Company's operating results in individual geographic
markets could be adversely affected by local regional economic downturns,
particularly in Florida. Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common in the radio
and television broadcasting industry and result primarily from fluctuations in
advertising expenditures by local retailers. Paxson Radio and Paxson
Network-Affiliated Television generally experience their lowest revenue for the
year in the first quarter, whereas their highest revenue generally occurs in the
fourth fiscal quarter. Because of the short operating history of inTV, the
Company's ability to assess the effects of seasonality on inTV is limited. It
appears, however, that inTV may experience its highest revenues in the first and
fourth quarters.
 
COMPETITION; NEW TECHNOLOGY
 
     The Company's television and radio stations are located in highly
competitive markets. The financial success of each of the Company's radio and
television stations depends, to a significant degree, upon its audience ratings,
its share of the overall radio or television (as applicable) sales within its
geographic market, the economic health of the market and the popularity of its
programming. The audience ratings and advertising of such individual stations
are subject to change and any adverse change in a particular market could have a
material adverse effect on the revenue and cash flow of the Company. Paxson
Radio stations compete for audience share and advertising revenue directly with
other FM and AM radio stations and with other media within their respective
markets. Although Paxson Radio competes with other radio stations with
comparable programming formats in most of its markets, if another station in the
market were to convert its programming format to a format similar to one of the
Company's radio stations, if a new radio station were to adopt a competitive
format or if an existing competitor were to strengthen its operations, the
Company's stations could suffer a reduction in ratings or advertising revenue
and could require increased promotional and other expenses. Paxson
Network-Affiliated Television stations face similar competitive forces. In
addition, to the extent that certain of the Company's competitors have or may,
in the future, obtain greater resources than the Company, its ability to compete
successfully in its broadcasting markets may be impeded. There can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to maintain or increase its current
audience ratings and advertising revenue. See "Business -- Competition."
 
     The Company's owned and operated inTV stations face significant competition
from various broadcasting stations and broadcasting and cable networks that air
both traditional and long-form paid programming in varied amounts, as well as
local cable operators that sell blocks of time to long-form advertisers and
could encounter competition from developments in technology that may be
subsequently commercialized. To the extent that the Infomall TV Network is
successful, it is likely that the Company will face additional competition from
new market entrants. See "Business -- Competition."
 
TECHNOLOGY CHANGES
 
     Radio and television broadcasting are also subject to competition with new
media technologies that are being developed or have been introduced, such as,
for radio, the delivery of audio programming through cable television, telephone
or electrical wires or the introduction of digital audio broadcasting ("DAB")
and, for television, direct satellite-to-home video programming and so-called
video dialtone in which telephone or
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   25
 
other companies provide broad-band wire links for delivery of video programming
to homes by independent program suppliers. DAB may provide a medium for the
delivery by satellite or terrestrial means of multiple audio programming formats
to local and national audiences. Further, the Company may be subject to other
changes in technology and the manner in which businesses and individual
households adopt such technologies and embrace new communication and
distribution channels available via the Internet, World Wide Web, and other such
broadband networks. Prospective technology enhancements may allow for increased
economic, distribution and communication efficiencies which may impact the
Company. The Company cannot predict the effect, if any, that these or other new
technologies may have on the industries in which the Company operates, or on the
Company. See "Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting."
 
RESTRICTIONS IMPOSED BY TERMS OF INDEBTEDNESS
 
     The New Credit Facility and the Indenture each contain certain covenants
that restrict, among other things, the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, pay dividends or make certain other
restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, consolidate with any other
person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company. In addition, the New Credit
Facility also requires the Company to comply with certain financial ratios and
tests, under which the Company is required to achieve certain financial and
operating results. The Company's ability to meet these financial ratios and
tests may be affected by events beyond its control, and there can be no
assurance that they will be met. In the event of such a default under the New
Credit Facility, the lenders thereunder may terminate their lending commitments
and declare the indebtedness under the New Credit Facility immediately due and
payable, which would result in a default under the Notes. There can be no
assurance that the Company would have sufficient assets to pay indebtedness then
outstanding under the New Credit Facility and the Notes. Any refinancing of the
New Credit Facility is likely to contain similar restrictive covenants.
 
LIMITED PUBLIC MARKET AND POSSIBLE VOLATILITY OF STOCK PRICE
 
     Prior to the Offering, there has been only a limited public market for the
Common Stock and there can be no assurance that an active trading market for the
Class A Common Stock will develop and continue after the Offering. The public
offering price of the Class A Common Stock will be determined through
negotiations among the Company and representatives of the Underwriters based
upon a variety of factors. Additionally, the market price of the Class A Common
Stock could be subject to significant fluctuations in response to quarterly and
annual operating results of the Company, announcements of technological
improvements or new products by the Company or its competitors, changes in
financial estimates by securities analysts, changes in general conditions in the
economy, the financial markets, or the broadcasting, advertising or television
retail shopping industries, or other developments affecting the Company, its
customers or its competitors, some of which may be unrelated to the Company's
performance and beyond the Company's control.
 
NO DIVIDENDS
 
     The Company has not paid cash dividends and does not intend for the
foreseeable future to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock and
intends to retain earnings, if any, for the future operation and expansion of
the Company's business. In addition, the terms of the outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock of the Company, the Notes and the New Credit Facility restrict
the declaration of dividends with respect to Common Stock. See "Dividend
Policy."
 
DILUTION
 
     Persons purchasing shares of Class A Common Stock in the Offering will
incur immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value per
share of Class A Common Stock. Dilution for this purpose represents the
difference between the assumed $17.00 per share offering price of the Class A
Common Stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of the Class A
Common Stock as of December 31, 1995 adjusted for the consummation of the
Offering and the Proposed Acquisitions. See "Dilution."

                           THE PROPOSED ACQUISITIONS
 
     The Company currently has agreements, subject to various conditions
including the receipt of regulatory approvals, to purchase the assets of or, as
indicated below, to finance the acquisition of assets of, and enter into time
brokerage agreements with respect to, the following television and radio
stations (the "Proposed Acquisitions") (dollars in thousands):

(10) Purchase considered a significant business acquisition for accounting
     purposes and therefore certain historical financial information is included

     The Company has agreed to acquire WXDJ-FM and WRMA-FM in the Miami market
for a price of either (i) $107.5 million in cash or (ii) $92 million in cash
plus 1,277,778 shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to increase if the market
value of the Class A Common Stock declines below $18 per share), as determined
at the seller's option prior to the execution of definitive purchase
documentation. For purposes of the information set forth in this prospectus, the
Company has assumed that the sellers will elect to receive the purchase price
for the stations entirely in cash. Were the sellers to elect to receive cash and
shares of Class A Common Stock, the anticipated aggregate cost of all of the
Proposed Acquisitions and related capital
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   27
 
expenditures listed above would increase from approximately $147.3 million to
approximately $154.8 million ($23 million of which would be payable in shares of
Class A Common Stock).
 
     In addition to the Proposed Acquisitions set forth above, the Company
intends to exercise options to acquire the following television stations
currently being operated by the Company pursuant to time brokerage agreements:
WFCT-TV (Tampa, FL), WCTD-TV (Miami, FL), KUBD-TV (Denver, CO), KWBF-TV
(Phoenix, AZ), WCEE-TV (St. Louis, MO) and WTJC-TV (Dayton, OH). Exercise of
certain of such options by the Company became permissible with the recent
enactment of the 1996 Act. The aggregate exercise price for the foregoing
options (collectively, the "Station Options") is $1.4 million.
 
   
     The Company has a history of regularly considering the acquisition of
broadcast and other properties, and at any given time is in various stages of
considering such opportunities. In addition to the Proposed Acquisitions, the
Company is currently conducting due diligence with respect to certain broadcast
and other properties, primarily in Florida markets, following the execution of
six separate non-binding letters of intent. If all of these potential
acquisitions were consummated, the aggregate purchase price could be as much as
$110 million, substantially all of which would likely to be paid in cash and the
remainder through the issuance of Common Stock. The consummation of such
acquisitions would require various regulatory approvals and could require, among
other things, the waiver or consent of the Company's existing lenders and
holders of Preferred Stock as well as additional financing relating to one or
more of the potential acquisitions. If definitive acquisition agreements are
executed, the Company anticipates that closing on the purchases of such
acquisitions would require an additional three to twelve months. Given the
nature of these arrangements and the numerous conditions precedent to any
acquisition, there can be no assurance that any of these acquisitions will
occur.
    
 
     Company investments in broadcast properties (including certain of the
Proposed Acquisitions as noted above) involve arrangements with third parties,
including time brokerage agreements and joint sales agreements, as well as the
co-ownership of certain television stations and radio stations. These
investments in broadcast properties permit the Company to have a presence in
additional markets and to enjoy many, but not all, of the benefits of ownership
while at the same time remaining in compliance with FCC regulations. For a
description of the Company's relationships with these companies, see
"Business -- Time Brokerage Agreements, Joint Sales Agreements and Other
Interests in Broadcast Stations." The Company has structured its relationships
with these companies in a manner designed to ensure strict compliance with the
FCC's rules and regulations governing television station ownership.
 
   
                                USE OF PROCEEDS
    
 
     The net proceeds to the Company from the Offering (after deduction of the
underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses) are
estimated to be approximately $165.2 million ($174.7 million if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full). The Company will not
receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the Class A Common Stock being sold
by the Selling Stockholders. Of the net proceeds to the Company from the
Offering, (i) $147.3 million will be used to fund the Proposed Acquisitions and
related capital expenditures; (ii) $1.4 million will be used to fund the
exercise of the Station Options; and (iii) $16.5 million will be used to fund
capital expenditures associated with certain previous acquisitions. Pending the
use of proceeds described above, the net proceeds will be invested in
short-term, investment grade securities, certificates of deposit, or direct or
guaranteed obligations of the United States Government, and may be used to repay
amounts outstanding under the New Credit Facility, the Company's senior secured
revolving credit facility which currently bears an interest rate of LIBOR plus
3.25% (8.93% as of December 31, 1995).

                      PRICE RANGE OF CLASS A COMMON STOCK
 
     In November 1994, the Company's Class A Common Stock became publicly-held
through its merger with The American Network Group, Inc. ("ANG") and beginning
November 7, 1994, the Class A Common Stock was listed on the Nasdaq Small-Cap
Market. Since July 10, 1995, the Class A Common Stock has been listed on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol PXN. The following table sets forth for
the periods indicated, the high and low last sales price per share for the Class
A Common Stock, as reported on the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market (until July 7, 1995)
and the closing sale price per share for the Class A Common Stock on the
American Stock Exchange thereafter.

     On February 29, 1996, the closing price of the Class A Common Stock on the
American Stock Exchange was $20.00 per share. As of that date, there were
approximately 330 holders of record of the Class A Common Stock. Because of the
limited trading activity in the Class A Common Stock, the preceding prices may
not be indicative of the actual value of the Class A Common Stock or of the
trading prices that would result from a more seasoned market.
 
                                DIVIDEND POLICY
 
     The Company has not paid cash dividends and does not intend for the
foreseeable future to declare or pay any cash dividends on its Common Stock and
intends to retain earnings, if any, for the future operation and expansion of
the Company's business. Any determination to declare or pay dividends will be at
the discretion of the Company's board of directors and will depend upon the
Company's future earnings, results of operations, financial condition, capital
requirements, contractual restrictions under the Indenture and the New Credit
Facility, considerations imposed by applicable law and other factors deemed
relevant by the board of directors. In addition, the terms of the outstanding
shares of Preferred Stock contain restrictions on the declaration of dividends
with respect to the Common Stock. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operation -- Liquidity and Capital Resources"
and "Description of Capital Stock."
 
                                    DILUTION
 
   
     The net tangible book value (deficit) of the Company as of December 31,
1995 was approximately ($101.8 million) or ($2.95) per share of Common Stock.
Net tangible book value (deficit) per share is equal to the Company's total
tangible assets less total liabilities (including mandatorily redeemable
securities) divided by the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding.
After giving effect to the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered
hereby at the assumed public offering price of $17.00 per share (after deducting
the estimated underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering
expenses payable by the Company) and the receipt of the net proceeds of $165.2
million therefrom, the pro forma net tangible book value of the Company as of
December 31, 1995 would have been $63.4 million or $1.39 per share of Common
Stock. Assuming consummation of the Proposed Acquisitions, exercise of the
Station Options and application of the net proceeds of the Offering as described
under "Use of Proceeds," pro forma net tangible book value (deficit) would have
been ($2.07) per share of Common Stock. This represents an immediate increase in
pro forma net tangible book value of $0.88 per share to existing shareholders
and an

     The above computation assumes no exercise of outstanding options or the
Underwriters' over-allotment option. As of February 29, 1996, there were options
outstanding to purchase a total of 1,744,205 shares of Class A Common Stock at
an exercise price of $3.42 per share. See "Capitalization" and "Management --
Stock Incentive Plan." The above computation further assumes no exercise of
currently exercisable outstanding warrants to purchase an aggregate of 7,727,800
shares of Common Stock at nominal exercise prices. The exercise of any of these
options or warrants would not materially affect the dilution to new investors in
this Offering.

                                 CAPITALIZATION
 
     The following table sets forth the actual and pro forma capitalization of
the Company as of December 31, 1995. Pro forma capitalization gives effect to
(i) the consummation of the Offering at an assumed offering price of $17.00 per
share (providing $165.2 million of cash); (ii) the Proposed Acquisitions and
related capital expenditures (utilizing $147.3 million of cash); (iii) capital
expenditures on existing properties (utilizing $16.5 million of cash); (iv) the
exercise of the Station Options (utilizing $1.4 million of cash); (v) the
termination of the holders' put on the Class A and Class B common stock
warrants; (vi) acquisitions and dispositions which have closed subsequent to
December 31, 1995 (utilizing $28.9 million of cash and $17.7 million of other
debt) and (vii) the acquisition of a note receivable from Mr. Paxson (utilizing
$1 million of cash), as if such events included in (i) through (vii) had
occurred on December 31, 1995. This table should be read in conjunction with the
information contained in "Pro Forma Financial Information" and the Company's
consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.

                                  THE COMPANY
 
     The Company was organized in December 1993, as the successor to businesses
formed in 1991 primarily for the purpose of owning and operating radio and
television broadcasting stations and networks. The Company's principal executive
offices are located at 601 Clearwater Park Road, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401
and its telephone number is (407) 659-4122.
 
                SELECTED HISTORICAL AND PRO FORMA FINANCIAL DATA
 
     The following selected historical and pro forma financial data, insofar as
it relates to each of the five years ended December 31, 1995, has been derived
from Company prepared financial information and should be read in conjunction
with the audited financial statements, including the consolidated balance sheets
at December 31, 1994 and 1995 and the related consolidated statements of
operations for each of the years in the three year period ended December 31,
1995 and the notes thereto, "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations" and "Pro Forma Financial Information"
included elsewhere herein.
 
   
     The following unaudited summary pro forma statement of operations data and
other data give effect to (i) the consummation of the Offering; (ii) significant
business acquisitions of KZKI-TV, WGOT-TV and WTVX-TV; (iii) the issuance of the
Notes on September 28, 1995; (iv) proposed significant business acquisitions of
WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM; and (v) the exercise of the Station Options, as if such
events had occurred on January 1, 1995. WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM are the only
Proposed Acquisitions which are considered to be significant business
acquisitions and all other Proposed Acquisitions are asset acquisitions or are
immaterial both individually and in the aggregate and therefore are not required
to be included in the pro forma financial information. Prior operators' fiscal
years have been conformed to the Company's December 31, 1995 year end. In
addition, depreciation and amortization expense has been increased for the
period to reflect preliminary purchase price allocations for all stations
included in the Proposed Acquisitions and Station Options. The following
unaudited summary pro forma balance sheet data gives effect to (i) the
consummation of the Offering; (ii) the Proposed Acquisitions and related capital
expenditures; (iii) capital expenditures on existing properties; (iv) the
exercise of the Station Options; (v) the termination of the holders' put on the
Class A and Class B common stock warrants; (vi) acquisitions and dispositions
which have closed subsequent to December 31, 1995; and (vii) the acquisition of
a note receivable from Mr. Paxson, as if such events included in (i) through
(vii) had occurred on December 31, 1995. The Offering and the Proposed
Acquisitions and certain management assumptions and adjustments are described in
the accompanying notes hereto. The pro forma information should be read in
conjunction with the Company's consolidated financial statements and the notes
thereto, as of December 31, 1995 and for the three years then ended, included
elsewhere in this Prospectus. See "Pro Forma Financial Information" appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus. This pro forma information is not necessarily
indicative of the Company's actual or future operating results or financial
position.

          MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
                           AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
GENERAL
 
     The Company commenced Paxson Radio operations in September 1991 following
the acquisition of three radio stations in Florida. The Company has since
expanded Paxson Radio primarily through the acquisition of 15 additional
stations, the execution of joint sales agreements for two additional stations in
Florida (in one of which the Company owns a 49% interest and the other of which
the Company has agreed to acquire), and significant internal growth of acquired
stations, and has agreed to acquire two additional radio stations in Miami, one
station in Jacksonville and two stations in Tennessee. Paxson Radio includes the
operation of six radio networks and outdoor billboards which have operating and
financial characteristics different from those of radio stations. These
operations, however, are not material to the radio group or to the Company
overall. The billboards serve to increase awareness of the Company's radio
operations and the radio networks are utilized in part to provide sports and
other programming to certain of the Company's radio stations and to 338
affiliates in the eastern and southeastern United States.
 
     The Company commenced Paxson Network-Affiliated Television operations in
July 1994, following the acquisition of WPBF-TV, an ABC affiliate, in West Palm
Beach, Florida. The Company expanded its network affiliated television
operations in August 1995 with the execution of a time brokerage agreement for
WTVX-TV, a combined Warner/UPN affiliate, also in West Palm Beach.
 
     The Company commenced its Infomall TV Network operations with four inTV
stations in January 1995. The Company has since expanded the Infomall TV Network
to a total of 24 owned, operated or affiliated inTV stations. The Company has
agreements to acquire or operate an additional eight stations, seven of which
are anticipated to close in 1996, following completion of this Offering and the
receipt of the net proceeds therefrom. Upon completion of the Proposed
Acquisitions, the Company will have 32 owned, operated or affiliated inTV
stations which provide a national distribution network currently dedicated to
airing of infomercial programming.
 
     The Company's operating data throughout the periods discussed have been
impacted significantly by the timing and mix of radio, television and inTV
acquisitions throughout such periods. Operating revenues are derived from the
sale of advertising to local and national advertisers. The Company's primary
operating expenses involved in owning and operating Paxson Radio and Paxson
Network-Affiliated Television are syndicated program rights fees, commissions on
revenues, employee salaries, news gathering, promotion and administrative
expenses. Comparatively, operation of an inTV station involves low operating
expenses relative to traditional network or independent television station
operation. As a result, the Company's inTV stations usually contribute to
operating profit within a short time frame. The costs of operating an inTV
station do not vary significantly with revenue, with the exception of costs
associated with sales commissions and agency fees. As such, upon obtaining a
certain level of revenue sufficient to cover fixed costs, additional revenue
levels have a significant impact on the operating results of an individual inTV
station.
 
     The Company's past results are not necessarily indicative of future
performance due to various risks and uncertainties which may significantly
reduce revenues and increase operating expenses. For example, a reduction in
expenditures by radio and television advertisers in the Company's markets may
result in lower revenues. The Company may be unable to reduce expenses,
including certain variable expenses, in an amount sufficient in the short term
to offset lost revenues caused by poor market conditions. The Company's
television stations are dependent upon "must carry" regulations for carriage on
cable systems in each market. The constitutionality of "must carry" regulations
is currently being litigated in the U.S. Supreme Court and if such regulations
were invalidated, the Company could suffer decreased revenues or increased
carriage expenses if the Company's stations lose cable carriage or are forced to
pay cable systems for carriage. The broadcasting industry continues to undergo
rapid technological change which may increase competition within the Company's
markets as new delivery systems, such as direct broadcast satellite and computer
networks, attract customers. The changing nature of audience tastes and viewing
and listening habits may affect the continued
 
                                       28
<PAGE>   35
 
attractiveness of the Company's broadcasting stations to advertisers, upon whom
the Company is dependent for its revenue.
 
   
     Preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amount (contingent or otherwise) of assets and liabilities
at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and
expenses during the reporting period. The fair value of the Company's
investments in broadcast properties and programming rights payable were based
upon the net present value of applicable estimated future cash flows using a
discounted rate approximating market rates. The fair values of the Company's
long-term debt and the Notes were estimated based on market rates and
instruments with similar risks and maturities. The fair value estimates
presented are based on pertinent information available to management as of
December 31, 1995. As a result of the foregoing, the estimates presented in the
Company's financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the amounts
that the Company could realize in a current market exchange. Although management
is not aware of any factors that would significantly affect the estimated fair
value amounts, such amounts have not been comprehensively revalued for purposes
of the Company's financial statements.
    
 
     The Company's operations as a public company commenced in November 1994 as
a result of the Company's merger with ANG, a company primarily involved in the
operation of radio networks. The former operations of ANG are no longer material
to the Company.
 
     The Company currently expects to continue acquiring additional stations
which may have similar effects on the comparability of revenues, operating
expenses, interest expense and broadcast cash flow as those described below.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
  Years Ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
 
     Consolidated revenues for 1995 increased 66% (or $41.0 million) to $103.1
million from $62.1 million for 1994. This increase was primarily due to the new
television station acquisitions and time brokerage operations ($19.2 million),
acquisition of WPBF-TV on July 1, 1994 ($7.1 million) and increased revenues
from existing television stations ($9.1 million).
 
     Operating expenses for 1995 increased 75% (or $48.0 million) to $111.6
million from $63.6 million in 1994. The increase was primarily due to higher
direct expenses such as commissions which rise in proportion to revenues ($8.1
million), other non-direct costs of operating newly acquired and operated
television stations ($5.5 million), higher corporate overhead ($6.3 million),
option plan compensation ($10.8 million), higher depreciation and amortization
related to assets acquired ($6.3 million), and increased expenses from a full
year of operating existing television stations ($1.6 million).
 
     Net interest expense for 1995 increased to $16.3 million from $5.2 million
for 1994, an increase of 213%, primarily due to a greater level of long-term
debt throughout the period and higher borrowing rates. As a result of
acquisitions, at December 31, 1995, total long-term debt, including the Notes,
was $240 million, or 191% higher than the $82.4 million outstanding a year
prior.
 
     The Company has accumulated $35.7 million of taxable losses. The Company
recognized $1.3 million of income tax benefit which resulted primarily from the
1995 net loss and reversal of deferred taxes associated with the 1993 tax
provision resulting from the change in tax status.
 
     Broadcast cash flow for 1995 increased 108% (or $15.6 million) to $30.0
million, from $14.4 million for 1994. The increase in broadcast cash flow was a
direct result of new television station acquisitions and time brokerage
operations ($9.1 million), acquisition of WPBF-TV on July 1, 1994 ($1.7
million), and improved performance of existing television properties ($5.5
million).
 
  Years Ended December 31, 1994 and 1993
 
     Consolidated revenues for 1994 increased 93% (or $30.0 million) to $62.1
million from $32.1 million in 1993. This increase was primarily due to the
acquisition of WPBF-TV on July 1, 1994 ($7.5 million), revenue
 
                                       29
<PAGE>   36
 
received under the time brokerage agreement for WTLK-TV beginning April 4, 1994
($2.2 million) and the subsequent purchase thereof on July 13, 1994, the
consolidation of the ANG operations beginning April 14, 1994 ($8.4 million), and
improved market conditions and better sales management within the Company's
existing properties ($10.8 million). In addition, revenue increased because of
the time brokerages of WCTD-TV beginning April 1, 1994 and WFCT-TV beginning
August 1, 1994 (totalling $1.1 million).
 
     Operating expenses for 1994 increased 66% (or $25.4 million) to $63.6
million from $38.2 million in 1993. The increase was primarily due to direct
expenses such as commissions which rise in proportion to revenue ($7.3 million),
other non-direct costs of operating WPBF-TV and WTLK-TV ($4.1 million), the
consolidation of ANG ($6.3 million), higher costs for the Company's existing
properties ($3.4 million), and higher depreciation and amortization related to
assets acquired ($3.0 million). In addition, operating expenses increased
because of the time brokerages of WCTD-TV and WFCT-TV and related fees ($1.3
million).
 
     Interest expense increased to $5.2 million from $2.1 million, an increase
of 148%, primarily due to a greater level of long-term debt throughout the year
and higher borrowing rates. As a result of acquisitions, at December 31, 1994,
long-term debt was $82.4 million, or 153% higher than the $32.6 million
outstanding a year prior.
 
     The Company recognized $1.7 million of income tax benefit which resulted
primarily from the 1994 net loss and related reversal of deferred taxes
associated with the 1993 tax provision.
 
     Broadcast cash flow for 1994 increased 112% (or $7.6 million) to $14.4
million, from $6.8 million in 1993. The increase in broadcast cash flow was a
direct result of acquisitions, revenue growth and continued expense controls.
 
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
   
     On September 28, 1995, the Company sold $230 million aggregate principal
amount of 11 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") at a discount,
receiving $227.3 million in proceeds before approximately $8.6 million of
transaction costs. These transaction costs have been classified as "other
assets" and are being amortized as interest expense over the term of the Notes.
The Notes mature in 2002 with interest payable semiannually on April 1 and
October 1. In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company repaid
approximately $170 million in outstanding balances under its then-existing
senior credit facilities. In conjunction with the repayment of these debt
facilities approximately $10.6 million of loan origination costs were written
off as an extraordinary expense.
    
 
     The Company's working capital at December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994
was $74.3 million and $26.4 million, respectively, and the ratio of current
assets to current liabilities was 6.37:1 and 3.11:1 on such dates, respectively.
Working capital increased primarily due to proceeds from the Notes net of debt
repaid and acquisitions previously discussed.
 
   
     Cash provided by operations of $10.9, $5.1 and $2.8 million for 1995, 1994
and 1993, respectively, primarily reflects the improvement in operating results
of existing properties, acquisitions and time brokerage properties net of
increased interest expense. Cash used for investing activities of $105.6, $66.8
and $30.8 million for 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, primarily reflects
acquisitions of and investments in broadcast properties, and purchases of
equipment for these and existing properties net of the proceeds from station or
asset sales. Cash provided by financing activities of $141.1, $76.3 and $34.4
million in 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively, primarily reflects the proceeds
from the issuance of the Notes and the incurrence of long-term debt net of debt
repaid and loan origination costs incurred. Non-cash activity relates to
depreciation and amortization, option plan compensation and reciprocal trade and
barter advertising revenue and expense, as well as dividends and accretion on
the Preferred Stock and common stock warrants.
    
 
     The Company has issued options to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock
to certain members of management during 1995 under its stock compensation plan.
See "Management -- Stock Incentive Plan." There are currently 1,744,205 options
outstanding under this plan. Further, the Company recognized option plan
compensation expense of approximately $10.8 million in 1995, and expects that
approximately $1.4 million of compensation expense will be recognized over the
remaining vesting period of the outstanding options. The Company intends to
retain the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensa-
 
                                       30

tion, which will result in the Company disclosing related required pro forma
information in the notes to certain future financial statements.
 
     The Company was initially funded primarily by Mr. Paxson, who has made
equity investments in the Company since its inception totaling in excess of $33
million. Beginning in 1992, the Company has also utilized senior long-term debt
provided to its principal operating subsidiaries by consortiums of financial
institutions. Proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were used to retire the
Company's then existing senior indebtedness. On December 19, 1995, the Company
entered into the New Credit Facility, providing for a senior secured revolving
line of credit in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million. The New Credit
Facility will mature on June 30, 2002.
 
     The Company's primary capital requirements are interest and principal
payments on indebtedness. The Notes require semiannual interest payments at a
fixed rate. Borrowings under the New Credit Facility bear interest at floating
rates and require interest payments on varying dates depending on the interest
rate option selected by the Company. In addition to debt service, the Company's
principal cash requirements will be for capital expenditures and, if appropriate
opportunities arise, the acquisition of additional broadcasting stations or
assets. The Company estimates that, in addition to the $22.1 million of capital
expenditures associated with the Proposed Acquisitions, it will spend
approximately $20 million for property and equipment for its existing
operations.
 
   
     The Company believes that the proceeds of the Offering, cash flow from
operations, existing cash balances and available borrowings under the New Credit
Facility will be sufficient to consummate the Proposed Acquisitions (including
the expected capital expenditures associated therewith), to exercise the Station
Options and to meet its anticipated short term and long term working capital
requirements for its existing properties and those to be acquired upon
completion of the Proposed Acquisitions and the exercise of the Station Options.
Pro forma for the Proposed Acquisitions and the exercise of the Station Options,
the Company would have approximately $57 million in borrowing capacity available
under the New Credit Facility, including $27.7 million of which is currently
outstanding. To the extent that the Company pursues future acquisitions or
requires additional working capital, the Company may be required to obtain
additional financing. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to
obtain such financing on terms acceptable to it. The failure to raise funds
necessary to finance the Company's future cash requirements could adversely
affect the Company's ability to pursue its business strategy. In addition,
should the Company suffer a significant impairment to its cash flow from
operations due to the occurrence of one or more adverse events, including those
set forth under "Risk Factors," its liquidity could become insufficient on a
short term basis due to diminished borrowing capacity under the New Credit
Facility and on a long term basis, the Company could have insufficient resources
to repay indebtedness under the New Credit Facility or the Notes when due.

                                    BUSINESS
 
GENERAL
 
     Paxson Communications Corporation has created a nationwide network of
television stations dedicated to the airing of infomercial programming (the
"Infomall TV Network" or "inTV"). In addition, the Company has a significant
radio and network-affiliated television broadcasting presence in the state of
Florida. The Company owns 16 radio stations in the four largest Florida cities
and will own 19 such stations upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, and
owns one network-affiliated television station and operates another in the West
Palm Beach market.
 
     The Company introduced its Infomall TV Network in January 1995 with four
television stations. inTV has expanded rapidly and currently consists of 24
owned, operated or affiliated inTV stations. Upon completion of the Proposed
Acquisitions, the Company will have 28 owned or operated inTV stations and four
affiliated inTV stations operating in 30 television markets, 20 of which are
among the 30 largest in the United States.
 
     The Company believes that (i) its inTV stations comprise the only national
network of television stations dedicated to the airing of infomercial
programming, (ii) its inTV stations represent a valuable national television
broadcasting distribution infrastructure that would be difficult and expensive
to replicate, and (iii) its radio and network-affiliated television stations in
Florida's five largest markets provide it with a significant statewide presence.
 
     The Company was founded in 1991 by Lowell W. "Bud" Paxson. Mr. Paxson has
been at the forefront of several innovative broadcasting concepts over the last
decade, including his leadership role in the creation and early growth of
electronic retailing as the creator and co-founder of Home Shopping Network,
Inc. and Silver King Communications, Inc. Mr. Paxson has made equity investments
in the Company in excess of $33 million.

INFOMALL TV NETWORK
 
     In January 1995, Paxson Communications introduced the Infomall TV Network
in order to capitalize on what the Company believes to be a rapidly growing
industry. The Company has assembled 20 owned or operated stations dedicated to
inTV programming and has entered into agreements to own or operate eight
additional inTV stations in seven additional markets. In addition, the Company
has affiliation agreements with four independently owned and operated television
stations. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will have 32
owned, operated or affiliated inTV stations operating in 30 television markets,
20 of which are among the 30 largest in the United States. The Company believes
that its network of inTV stations is the only group of broadcast television
stations in the United States that offers infomercial advertisers significant
national, regional and local distribution capability and airtime during each of
the popular morning, daytime and prime time viewing hours.
 
     The television stations acquired by the Company and converted to inTV
stations are typically non-network-affiliated stations with marginal operating
results that can be acquired at a relatively low cost compared to
network-affiliated stations. Certain of these stations are licensed to
communities outside the center of major television markets, but within such
markets' DMA, and thus, by virtue of the FCC's "must carry" rules, are generally
entitled to carriage on cable systems within such DMA. Through the exercise of
federal "must carry" rights and the improvement of its stations' over-the-air
signals, the Company intends to continue its efforts to maximize its cable
household coverage within its markets beyond the 53.7% achieved currently. The
Company's goal is to reach approximately 85% of the cable homes in its markets
(although there can be no assurance that the Company will reach such goal). See
"Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting -- "Must Carry"/Retransmission
Consent." The Company believes that it also reaches a significant number of
over-the-air television households that do not receive cable television. The
Company continues to evaluate the acquisition of or affiliation with additional
independent television stations to further extend the national distribution
reach of its Infomall TV Network.
 
   
     In 1995, its initial year of operations, inTV achieved segment revenue of
$29.7 million, segment income from operations of $8.8 million and segment
operating profit of $14.3 million. Segment revenue increased from $3.9 million
during the first quarter of 1995 to $10.6 million during the fourth quarter of
1995. Segment income from operations increased from $.6 million during the first
quarter of 1995 to $3.6 million during the fourth quarter of 1995. Segment
operating profit increased from $1.7 million during the first quarter of 1995 to
$5.2 million during the fourth quarter of 1995.

  Industry Background
 
     During recent years, advertisers have evaluated the benefits of television
and cable advertising, with many sophisticated consumer product and service
advertisers now recognizing the effectiveness and reasonable cost of long-form
programming, or infomercials. An infomercial is an advertisement, usually
approximately one half-hour in length and often produced in an entertainment
format, that is paid for by the advertiser on the basis of air-time, market size
and past results from airing on a particular television station. Regardless of
the presentation format, the viewers are provided information that can be used
to make informed purchasing decisions from the comfort of their home without the
pressure of a salesperson or the crowds of a shopping mall.
 
     Increasingly, advertisers are recognizing the benefits of infomercials as a
powerful marketing tool. Infomercials provide advertisers with a cost-effective
medium through which to deliver sales messages, product introductions or
demonstrations to an interested target audience. Advertisers are recognizing
that infomercials can increase a company's or product's brand awareness and
loyalty while educating uninformed potential new customers. The viewer or
potential consumer is provided information that can be used to make informed
purchasing decisions. Due to the direct response nature of many infomercials,
advertisers are afforded the ability to evaluate their efficiency on an
immediate basis.
 
     The Company believes that the infomercial industry has grown rapidly during
the past several years. Historically, and to a large extent currently, long-form
informational programming occupied time slots that were otherwise unprofitable
for broadcasters. Increasingly, infomercials are being placed in more expensive
and attractive time periods such as daytime, early fringe and prime time. In
addition, the quality of the infomercial advertiser has improved. Today,
infomercials are being used to promote major consumer brandnames:

</TABLE>
 
     The production quality of infomercial programming by these major
advertisers has also brought increased credibility to the infomercial industry.
In addition, infomercials have recently been successfully utilized to promote
newly introduced network television series and full length feature movies. The
Company believes that as the benefits of infomercial programming become more
widely understood, the number of advertisers and the volume of infomercial
programming will continue to grow. In terms of demand for airtime, major
corporate advertisers who use long-form "advertorials", or image building
programs rather than direct selling messages, may ultimately surpass infomercial
programmers who rely on immediate sales to viewers via telephone response.
Currently, the funds spent on advertorials by major corporations are a
relatively small part of their overall advertising budget. The Company believes
that such advertorial expenditures will continue to increase.
 
     Infomercials are one type of long-form paid programming. Other types
include religious, ethnic and political paid programming. In certain of the
Company's markets, such as Los Angeles and Miami, the demand for airtime by
foreign language ethnic programmers has steadily increased. With regard to
political long-form paid programming, Ross Perot and others have utilized this
method of reaching voters. In general, religious, ethnic and political paid
programs have produced revenues for particular time periods (e.g., Sundays for
religious programming and weekday mornings for certain ethnic programming) which
are higher than otherwise available from infomercial advertisers during such
time periods.
 
  Operating Strategy
 
     By purchasing independent television stations, entering into time brokerage
agreements, signing affiliate stations, and extending its stations' broadcast
reach on cable via "must carry" requirements, the Company has
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   41
 
created a television network dedicated to providing long-form, paid
entertainment and information programming. Expansion of the Infomall TV Network
continues through the purchase, operation or affiliation with independent
television stations in major United States television markets. The markets to be
served by the Company's inTV stations upon completion of the Proposed
Acquisitions currently contain approximately 44.2 million television households
of which 28.6 million are served by cable television.
 
     Shortly after the Company acquires a station or commences operating a
station pursuant to a time brokerage agreement, the Company replaces the
existing programming with infomercial programming. The Company's infomercial
programming format allows it to eliminate substantially all programming expenses
and achieve significant reductions in other operating expenses. Unlike
traditional television stations, inTV programming is paid for by the advertiser
as opposed to the broadcaster. The Company centralizes many accounting, traffic
and national sales functions at its headquarters, minimizing the staff required
at each station location. The Company's inTV stations are connected through a
wide area computer network enabling them to utilize common computerized
financial and sales systems. Engineering functions are standardized through the
purchase of similar equipment at each location for editing, playback-to-air and
signal transmission, thereby reducing maintenance expense. As a result, the
Company's inTV stations are operated by an average of 15 people, compared to
network and independent television stations, which average over 100 and 60
people, respectively, in markets of similar size to the Company's. To date, each
of the inTV stations owned or operated by the Company has contributed rapidly to
broadcast cash flow, typically within two months after the commencement of inTV
operations.
 
     inTV programming time is sold on a local, national and network basis. Local
programming time is sold by each station's local sales force and is offered to
merchants and businesses operating within a station's local market, including
medical clinics, automobile dealers and general merchandisers. National and
network programming time is sold by national advertising placement agencies and
the Company's own in-house national and network sales force. National and
network programming times appeal to advertisers who desire to reach viewers in
targeted inTV markets and all inTV markets. Currently, the Company maintains
national sales offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and at the Company's
headquarters in West Palm Beach. Support and administration of the Infomall TV
Network is also centralized at the Company's West Palm Beach headquarters,
including most accounting and personnel functions as well as administration of
the inTV programming traffic scheduling systems.
 
     The benefits of the Infomall TV Network are being realized as inTV makes
accessible relatively more desirable broadcast time periods (e.g. "prime-time")
generally unavailable to infomercial and other paid programmers at reasonable
rates on traditional television stations. The Company believes that attractive
rates and further growth of inTV's audience reach should continue to attract a
greater breadth of advertising clients. Moreover, as infomercial scheduling
information and promotional support (through radio, television and print
advertising as well as other media) become more available, the Company believes
that the viewing population will further increase.
 
     The Company seeks to increase the percentage of time sold to local
infomercial and other long-form paid programmers. Such local advertisers and
paid programmers have the potential to be consistent, long-term clients in each
of the Company's inTV markets. Because such advertising can be complementary to
local retailing outlets and professional businesses, and may result in increased
store traffic as well as immediate sales via telephone, the Company believes
that the rates paid by such advertisers have the potential to exceed those paid
by national direct marketers who lack a local store presence.
 
     When the Company commences operation of an inTV station, revenues are
derived primarily from national infomercial advertisers. Such revenues enable
new inTV stations to quickly cover operating costs. As the Company's inTV
stations mature, however, a local sales staff is developed, generally consisting
of two sales persons and a manager. The Company's experience with its more
mature inTV stations is that local sales can increase to become significant,
increasing the overall demand for airtime and, therefore, resulting in higher
average advertising rates.
 
  Expansion Strategy
 
     The Company assembled its Infomall TV Network through the conversion of
independent television stations to inTV stations. In most cases, those stations
were non-network-affiliated stations with marginal operating results. Certain
stations are licensed to communities outside the center of major television
markets, but within such markets' DMA, and by virtue of the FCC's "must carry"
rules, are therefore entitled to
 
                                       35
<PAGE>   42
 
carriage on cable systems within such DMA. The Company's inTV stations
subsequently extend their reach to a substantial percentage of such DMA's cable
households through the exercise of federal "must carry" rights. See
"Business -- Federal Regulation of Broadcasting -- "Must Carry"/Retransmission
Consent."
 
     The Company has paid an aggregate of $145.2 million (including capital
expenditures through the date hereof) to assemble its inTV network, with an
additional $59.4 million committed for inTV stations included in the Proposed
Acquisitions or to be acquired pursuant to the exercise of the Station Options
and for capital expenditures on existing inTV stations and inTV stations
included in the Proposed Acquisitions. The Company intends to continue to
evaluate the acquisition of or affiliation with independent television stations
to further extend the national distribution system for its Infomall TV Network.
 
     In order to increase cable household penetration by its existing and
proposed stations, the Company is studying the employment of various
distribution-enhancing technologies. Such technologies include signal
transmission through fiber optic lines either alone or along with microwave
transmission, as well as low power television ("LPTV") broadcast signal
transmission and television signal compression and satellite technology. The
Company envisions that implementation of one or more of these technologies could
significantly increase the households reached in several of its largest existing
and proposed inTV markets, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco,
Boston, Washington, D.C., Phoenix and St. Louis.
 
     The Company may also selectively consider joint venture or other
relationships with established members of the infomercial and electronic
retailing industries with whom the Company can further exploit both its
infomercial distribution system and its knowledge of the infomercial and
telemarketing industries generally. For example, the Company recently announced
a joint venture to be established with the L.L. Knickerbocker Company, Inc., a
Nasdaq traded company engaged in the development and distribution of products to
the electronic retailing industry. This joint venture, which will be known as
"Paxson/Knickerbocker Media Marketing" ("P/KMM"), will permit the Company,
together with its co-venturer, to identify products and services which are
suited to exploiting advantages of long-form advertising, develop marketing
strategies and infomercials for such products and services, including the airing
of infomercials for such products and services on the Infomall TV Network, and
participate in the revenues and profits from sales of such products and
services. For example, Olympic gold medalist Florence Griffith Joyner has agreed
with P/KMM to promote a new exercise product using infomercials to be aired on
the Infomall TV Network. The P/KMM joint venture illustrates the Company's
continuing efforts to fully utilize and exploit its Infomall TV Network and its
knowledge of the infomercial and electronic retailing industry. In addition to
the P/KMM venture, the Company is exploring the launch of the Home Business
Network ("HBN"), which will market home based, independent distributor
businesses. The Company currently expects that the distribution businesses
marketed by HBN will initially include health, beauty and fitness products.
 
     The Company has entered into an agreement to acquire from the City of West
Palm Beach a 19 acre tract of land on which it plans to construct an office,
studio and warehouse facility currently targeted for completion during the first
quarter of 1997. This newly constructed facility is expected to contain
production studios and inbound and outbound telemarketing capabilities, all of
which the Company expects will be utilized to fully exploit the P/KMM venture,
HBN and other future complimentary telemarketing and infomercial businesses.
 
     The Company is presently finalizing plans for the launch of its Infomall
Netsite. The Company's presence on the World Wide Web through the Infomall
Netsite will provide both the Company and Infomall TV Network advertisers with a
complimentary outlet to provide additional product or service information to a
growing audience to augment their inTV infomercial sales. It is envisioned that
infomercials aired on the Company's Infomall TV Network stations will promote
and guide viewers and customers to the Infomall Netsite. Information with regard
to the Infomall Netsite will be provided on inTV infomercials.
 
  Infomall Properties
 
     The stations included in the Company's Infomall TV Network are either (i)
owned by the Company, (ii) operated by the Company pursuant to time brokerage
agreements entered into with the FCC licensee, or (iii) owned by independent
television station operators that enter into affiliation agreements with the
Company. After giving effect to the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company will own
or operate 28 inTV stations, and have affiliation agreements with four
independently owned and operated stations that are currently dedicated to inTV.

PAXSON RADIO
 
     Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, Paxson Communications will
own and operate 24 radio stations (13 FM and 11 AM stations), with more radio
stations in Florida than any other broadcaster. The Company operates two FM and
two AM stations, commonly referred to as a "duopoly" serving Florida's four most
populous cities (Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville), and has agreed to
acquire two additional FM stations in the Miami market and an additional FM
station in the Jacksonville market. In addition, the Company owns and operates
an AM/FM combination in Cookeville, Tennessee, and has agreed to acquire an
additional AM/FM combination in that market, and has a JSA with an AM station in
Miami in which the Company owns a 49% interest. The Company's radio stations
employ broadly diversified programming formats, including News, Talk, Sports,
Country, Soft Adult Contemporary, Smooth Jazz, Album Oriented Rock, Mainstream
AOR, Alternative Rock, Spanish Sports, Spanish Adult Contemporary and Spanish
Salsa/Meringue. The Company operates six radio networks, primarily in the
southeastern United States, that provide daily statewide news segments, sports
programming and satellite distribution of play-by-play broadcasts of
professional and collegiate sports teams for 338 affiliated stations throughout
the eastern and southeastern United States and controls 67 billboard locations
(161 faces) in the Tampa and Orlando markets that support the Company's radio
station operations and provide advertising revenue.
 
     The Company believes that its established position among the leading radio
broadcast groups in each of its Florida markets differentiates it from its
competitors and makes the Company attractive to regional and national
advertisers. In addition to having leading positions in its markets, the Company
believes that its Florida markets are highly attractive. According to Miller
Kaplan, the Miami, Tampa, Orlando and Jacksonville markets are among the fastest
growing radio markets within the top 100 DMAs, with average compound annual
growth for the three years ended December 31, 1995 of 10.3%.
 
   
     The Company acquired its existing radio properties between 1991 and 1995.
In 1995, Paxson Radio operations generated segment pro forma revenue, segment
pro forma loss from operations, and segment pro forma operating profit of $69.5
million, $5.5 million and $19.4 million, respectively.
    
 
  Radio Broadcasting
 
     The Company was one of the first radio broadcasters to capitalize on
changes in federal regulations permitting radio market duopolies, and
subsequently assembled eight duopolies, two in each of Florida's four most
populous cities in addition to an AM/FM combination in Cookeville, Tennessee.
The Company initially pursued a strategy of entering into time brokerage
agreements with, and concurrently obtaining an option to purchase, stations in
markets in which the Company already owns a station in the same radio service
(AM or FM), and following changes in the FCC's rules regarding multiple
ownership of radio stations in September 1992, the Company was able to exercise
such purchase options. Upon completion of the Proposed Acquisitions, the Company
will have the leading audience share in the Miami market, Florida's largest
radio market, and an additional AM/FM duopoly in Cookeville. The Company will
continue to consider additional radio acquisition opportunities.
 
     During 1995, several changes were instituted by management of Paxson Radio
to strengthen performance. These changes included a new sales approach whereby
each sales person sells time primarily for one particular station to more
effectively capture advertising revenue. In addition, the Company also
instituted changes in individual markets including (i) a management change at
the station general manager and sales manager positions in the Miami and Orlando
markets, (ii) a change in the morning drive personalities in the Miami and
Jacksonville markets, and (iii) an FM format change in Jacksonville.

     The 1996 Act significantly liberalized radio station ownership rules, which
now permit the Company to increase the number of radio stations its owns in each
of the Miami, Orlando, Tampa and Jacksonville markets. The liberalized ownership
rules are not exclusively applicable to the Company, and will permit other radio
station owners to increase station ownership as well. See "Federal Regulation of
Broadcasting." Subsequent to enactment of the 1996 Act, the Company agreed to
acquire two additional FM stations in the Miami market. The Company has also
agreed to acquire an additional FM station serving the Jacksonville market and
an AM/FM combination serving the Cookeville, Tennessee market. See "The Proposed
Acquisitions". The Company plans to opportunistically pursue additional
in-market acquisitions to capitalize on the inherent leverage in operating
multiple stations in a single market.
 
  Operating Strategy
 
     The Company believes that its radio properties are well positioned in
attractive and growing markets, and the Company hopes to continue to improve
cash flow growth through the integration of recent duopoly acquisitions and
enhanced station performance. The Company believes that the geographic proximity
of its FM and AM duopolies throughout Florida give it the ability to realize
synergistic revenue and promotional opportunities as well as significant cost
efficiencies. The Company's group of Florida stations enables an advertiser to
cover an entire geographic region, while effectively reaching targeted
demographic groups. Various cross-market promotional opportunities exist, such
as the ability to provide listeners with tickets to another market's sporting
events or local entertainment attractions. Personnel and technical costs can be
minimized by virtue of the ability to service markets in close proximity to one
another. The stations' geographic concentration allows management to more easily
and rapidly respond to market developments.
 
     The Company believes that its experienced management team is one of its
strongest assets. Local managers are responsible for the day-to-day operations
of their respective stations. The Company believes that the autonomy of its
station management and its incentive-based compensation enable it to attract and
retain skilled and experienced managers capable of implementing the Company's
aggressive marketing and promotion strategy. Local managers have incentive
compensation linked to the station's broadcast cash flow performance.
 
     Corporate management is responsible for long-range planning, establishment
of primary policies and procedures, resource allocation, accounting and
auditing, regulatory and legal compliance, license renewals and the evaluation
of potential acquisitions. Corporate management reviews sales pacing reports
from each station on a daily basis. In addition, members of senior management
visit the Company's stations on a regular basis to review performance and to
assist local management with its programming, sales and recruiting efforts, as
well as to develop overall station operating and marketing strategies.
 
     The principal elements of the Company's operating strategy include:
 
     Targeted Programming and Extensive Market Research.  The Company provides
programming designed to appeal to targeted demographic groups, and seeks to
convert its rating shares into disproportionately large shares of each market's
advertising dollars. The Company believes that effective programming is a key
element in sustaining and improving audience shares within its targeted
demographic groups, and uses extensive ongoing research to refine each station's
programming. For example, the Company decided to operate News and Sports formats
in all four of its Florida markets following extensive research demonstrating
the popularity of each format with an upscale male audience. Similarly, in July
1995, after conducting programming research, Tampa's WSJT-FM began broadcasting
a Smooth Jazz format, designed to appeal to adults aged 25-54 (a demographic
group attractive to advertisers). The Company will continue to identify and
refine programming to enhance its stations' audience and advertiser appeal.
 
     Aggressive Marketing and Promotion.  The Company believes that effective
marketing and promotion play a significant role in maximizing each station's
performance. The Company utilizes local television, print media, outbound
telemarketing and billboards to promote its stations. In the Orlando and Tampa
markets, the Company's unsold billboard locations are used to promote its
stations. The Company also believes that community involvement is particularly
important in creating public awareness and its stations participate in numerous
community programs and activities.

     Strict Cost Controls.  Management believes that it is critical to maintain
the lowest possible cost structure compatible with its operating strategy.
Strict financial reporting standards and cost control measures are implemented
to ensure a focus on improvements in operating results throughout Paxson Radio.
Management regularly receives operating reports that track station performance,
thereby enabling better monitoring by management and establishing greater
accountability throughout the station group. In addition, since local management
incentive programs are tied to increasing broadcast cash flow, local managers
are focused on minimizing costs and exceeding budgeted cash flow results.

  Market Overviews
 
     Miami/Ft. Lauderdale, FL.  The Company owns and operates radio stations
WLVE-FM, WZTA-FM, WINZ-AM and WFTL-AM in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale radio market,
the 11th largest radio market in the United States. The Company also owns a 49%
interest in WACC-AM and provides certain sales and marketing services to this
station through a joint sales agreement, and has agreed to acquire WRMA-FM and
WXDJ-FM in this market. The Miami/Ft. Lauderdale radio market had advertising
revenue of $136.3 million in 1995, a 9.9% increase over 1994. Including the
Proposed Acquisitions, the Company's Miami/ Ft. Lauderdale radio stations had a
21.0% combined audience share in the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale 25-54 year old
demographic category, according to the Fall 1995 Arbitron ratings survey.
 
     WLVE-FM is programmed in a Smooth Jazz format, playing a blend of
contemporary jazz and vocals, targeting the upscale 25-54 year old audience.
WLVE-FM does not have a direct competitor within the format category. WZTA-FM
became the only Mainstream AOR station in the Miami market when its former
competitor changed formats to Alternative Rock in May 1995. The Company's
acquisition of stations WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM in the Miami market will enable the
Company to expand its reach to Spanish speaking demographic groups. WRMA-FM is
programmed in a Spanish Adult Contemporary format, while WXDJ-FM carries Spanish
Salsa/Meringue programming and WACC carries Spanish language sports. WINZ-AM is
the only station in the Miami market with an All News format throughout the
daytime hours. After 7:00 p.m. WINZ-AM carries sports programming with broadcast
rights to the Miami Heat NBA basketball team and the University of Miami
football games. WFTL-AM located in Broward County has a talk radio format and
through a simulcast with WINZ-AM increases the Company's broadcast reach of the
Miami Heat.
 
     Tampa/St. Petersburg, FL.  The Company owns and operates radio stations
WHPT-FM, WSJT-FM, WHNZ-AM and WNZE-AM in the Tampa/St. Petersburg radio market,
the 21st largest radio market in the United States. The Tampa/St. Petersburg
radio market had advertising revenue of $77.4 million in 1995, a 9.8% increase
over 1994. The Company's Tampa/St. Petersburg stations had a 12.3% combined
audience share in the Fall 1995 Arbitron ratings survey, including WSJT-FM which
commenced broadcasting in July 1995.
 
     WHPT-FM is formatted with a distinctive blend of music categorized as Rock
Adult Contemporary targeted toward white-collar, adult listeners. The Company
purchased WEZY-FM in Lakeland, Florida in March 1995 and subsequently moved the
station to the Tampa market. The Company reformatted the station as WSJT-FM, a
Smooth Jazz station targeted to adults in the 25-54 year old demographic
category. WHPT-FM and WSJT-FM have two of the strongest signals in the State of
Florida. WHNZ-AM is the only radio station in the Tampa market with an All News
format throughout the daytime hours. After 7:00 p.m. the station carries sports
talk and play-by-play sports programming, including University of Florida
football and basketball games. WNZE-AM is one of two AM radio stations in the
Tampa market that provides an All Sports format, including play-by-play coverage
of the Florida State football and basketball games. In addition, WNZE-AM
achieves economies by utilizing satellite programming.
 
     Orlando, FL.  The Company owns and operates radio stations WMGF-FM,
WJRR-FM, WWNZ-AM and WWZN-AM in Orlando, the 35th largest radio market in the
United States. The Orlando radio market had advertising revenue of $63.5 million
in 1995, a 10.7% increase over 1994. The Company's Orlando radio stations had a
13.6% combined audience share in the Orlando 25-54 year old demographic
category, according to the Fall 1995 Arbitron ratings survey.
 
     WMGF-FM is a Soft Adult Contemporary format appealing to the 35-54
audience. WJRR-FM, a Modern Rock station, complements WMGF-FM by appealing
primarily to the 18-49 year old male audience. WWNZ-AM is the only station in
the market with an All News format. WWZN-AM is the only All Sports radio station
in the Orlando market, and includes play-by-play programming and sports talk
shows. Cost savings are obtained through the utilization of satellite
programming, which is used to augment the station's sports-talk programming.
 
     Jacksonville, FL.  The Company owns and operates radio stations WROO-FM,
WPLA-FM, WNZS-AM and WZNZ-AM in Jacksonville, the 50th largest radio market in
the United States. The Company also provides certain sales and marketing
services to WFSJ-FM under a joint sales agreement, and
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   48
 
has recently agreed to purchase this station for $5.0 million. See "Certain
Transactions." The Jacksonville radio market had advertising revenue of $34.7
million in 1995, an 8.4% increase over 1994. The Company's radio stations had a
16.2% combined audience share in the 25-54 year old demographic category,
according to the Fall 1995 Arbitron ratings survey.
 
     WROO-FM broadcasts a Young Country format that appeals to the 18-49 year
old demographic category. WPLA-FM was recently reformatted as an Alternative
Rock radio station, designed to appeal to a younger 18-34 target audience.
WFSJ-FM is a Smooth Jazz formatted station targeted to adults in the 24-54 year
old demographic. WNZS-AM broadcasts an All Sports format, including the leading
sports talk show in the market, and carries live play-by-play sports broadcasts,
including Florida State University mens' football and basketball games. WZNZ-AM
has an all News format consisting of satellite-delivered CNN Headline News
programming.
 
     Cookeville, TN.  The Company owns and operates WGSQ-FM and WPTN-AM in the
Cookeville, Tennessee radio market, serving the Upper Cumberland region between
Nashville and Knoxville (ranked the 45th and 70th largest markets, respectively)
and has agreed to acquire WHUB-FM and WHUB-AM in this market. WGSQ-FM and
WHUB-FM are the two highest rated stations in this market, and all four of such
stations are first on a combined basis within this market in all categories of
listenership. WGSQ-FM and WHUB-AM each feature a country format. WHUB-FM
programs an Adult Contemporary format and WPTN-AM programs an All Talk format
featuring various local and nationally-syndicated personalities, including Rush
Limbaugh. The four stations have a combined 56.6% share of the 12+ demographic
group in Arbitron's most recent county-by-county survey.
 
  Radio Networks
 
     The Company operates six radio networks that serve approximately 338
affiliates. The programs produced and distributed by the Company's radio
networks include news broadcasts, sports play-by-play and sports talk shows, and
business and agricultural news and information. In addition to providing radio
programming, the Company also offers its affiliates printed script for news,
sports and weather information, that the Company either generates internally or
consolidates from wire services and other sources. The Company believes radio
networks are attractive to advertisers because they provide an opportunity to
advertise simultaneously on multiple stations. In addition, the Company's
networks provide certain programming to the Company's radio broadcast stations.
 
     In December 1992, the Company purchased the Florida Radio Network in order
to build statewide advertising sales. The network produces daily news segments
for 56 affiliated stations in Florida, thereby giving the Company a presence in
almost every market in Florida. On November 4, 1994, the Company merged with ANG
significantly expanding the Company's radio network holdings. As a result of the
merger, the Company owns and operates a radio network in Tennessee, as well as
several collegiate sports radio networks. Such radio networks currently produce
and distribute news, sports play-by-play and other programs, giving the Company
79 affiliated radio stations in Tennessee. In January 1995, the Company acquired
the Alabama Radio Network, which produces and distributes news, sports and other
programs to 74 affiliates in Alabama. The Company has the exclusive rights to
produce and broadcast the men's football and basketball games and weekly
coaches' radio shows of the University of Florida Gators through 53 affiliates,
the University of Miami Hurricanes through 25 affiliates, and Pennsylvania State
University Nittany Lions through 51 affiliates. The broadcasts are distributed
to radio stations that have subscribed for them pursuant to affiliate
agreements. Certain affiliates of the Company's sports networks are also
affiliates of its state radio networks.
 
     During 1995, the Company upgraded the technical facilities at each of its
radio news networks with digital sound programming. The Company believes that
such quality improvements will enable it to maintain its network presence in
each of the states in which it has networks.
 
  Billboard Properties
 
     The Company currently owns 67 billboard locations, including 55 billboards
with 113 faces in the Tampa market, and 12 billboard locations at which the
Company will have 48 faces in the Orlando market. While the
 
                                       42
<PAGE>   49
 
Company will sell the use of the billboards to a broad group of potential
advertisers, the Company takes advantage of the relationships it has with its
radio advertisers to broaden its billboard client base, as well as expand the
Company's share of the advertiser's media purchases within a market. In
addition, as broadcasters are major users of billboard advertising campaigns,
the Company can control its own billboard promotional expenditures through the
use of its unsold billboards, as well as assure full use of all its owned
billboards. As opportunities are presented to the Company, it will consider the
acquisition of additional billboards in markets in which it owns broadcasting
properties.
 
PAXSON NETWORK-AFFILIATED TELEVISION
 
     Paxson Communications owns and operates an ABC-TV affiliate, WPBF-TV, in
the West Palm Beach market. Pursuant to a time brokerage agreement, the Company
provides programming and markets commercial time for a second television
station, WTVX-TV (a combined United Paramount Network and Warner Brothers
Network affiliate), which is also in the West Palm Beach market. The West Palm
Beach television market is one of the fastest growing markets in the country, as
evidenced by its increased market ranking from 65th in 1985 to 45th in 1995.
Television advertising expenditures in the West Palm Beach market totalled $88.2
million in 1995, an increase of 2.6%.
 
   
     The Company acquired WPBF-TV in July 1994 for approximately $32.5 million
and began operating WTVX-TV under a time brokerage agreement in August 1995. The
Company has a long-term option to acquire WTVX-TV for approximately $19 million.
After the acquisition of WPBF-TV, the Company installed its management team and
implemented a program of cost rationalization measures consisting of, among
other things, a reduction in program rights payments, an increase in salesperson
commissions related to additional staffing and higher revenues, and increased
local news expenses to generate higher audience ratings. Pro forma for the
inclusion of WTVX-TV, these television stations generated segment pro forma
revenue, segment pro forma income from operations and segment pro forma
operating profit of $19.7 million, $2.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively,
in 1995.
    
 
  Operating Strategy
 
     The Company's television operating strategy is similar to its radio
operating strategy as the Company seeks to capitalize on the revenue enhancing
and cost saving opportunities from operating two television stations in one
market from a single studio facility.
 
     WPBF-TV (channel 25) is the ABC-TV affiliate in the West Palm Beach,
Florida market. The station achieved a 10 share of household audience in the
November 1995 Nielsen ratings survey, tied for third place in the market.
WPBF-TV airs ninety minutes of local news each weekday and an hour each Saturday
and Sunday. In addition, the station's current schedule includes the following
syndicated programs: Hard Copy, A Current Affair, Coach, Geraldo!, Jerry
Springer and Sally Jessy Raphael. The highly rated Montel Williams Show will
join WPBF's lineup in the fall of 1996. Monday through Friday, WTVX-TV airs a
second run of Sally Jessy Raphael as part of a three hour daytime talk show
block, and a second run of Jerry Springer at 10:00 p.m. The second runs of Sally
Jessy Raphael and Jerry Springer air at no net cost to WTVX-TV, as they were
included in WPBF's negotiations for these programs. WTVX-TV is a leading
provider of children's programming in the West Palm Beach market with the
following syndicated programs: Flintstones, Mighty Max, Goof Troop, Bonkers and
Animaniacs. The station also airs off network and original syndicated family-
oriented programming such as Family Matters, Step by Step, Baywatch, Highlander,
Kung Fu, Land's End, High Tide and Renegade. This fall, WTVX-TV will add the NBC
network sitcom Mad About You to its program lineup. WTVX-TV achieved a four
share of household audience in the November 1995 Nielsen ratings, ranking fifth
in the market. WPBF-TV and WTVX-TV will continue to carry Southeastern
Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference college football games, featuring among
other teams the University of Florida Gators and the Florida State University
Seminoles.

ADVERTISING
 
     Virtually all the Company's broadcasting revenue is derived from local,
regional and national advertising. Advertising rates charged by radio and
network television stations are based on a station's ability to attract
audiences in the demographic groups that advertisers wish to reach, and the
number of stations competing in the market area. A station's audience is
reflected in rating surveys of the number of listeners tuned to the station and
the time spent listening. The Company believes that its regional presence in
Florida's most populous markets and its targeted demographic groups in those
markets make it attractive to national, regional and local radio and television
advertisers. The Company strives to maximize radio revenue by constantly
managing the number of commercials available and all broadcast revenue by
adjusting prices based upon demand by advertisers to reach the Company's
stations' target demographic groups. In addition to the sales of advertising
time for cash, stations typically exchange advertising time for goods or
services that can be used by the station in its business operations, including
radio, television and billboard advertising and such items as travel and
entertainment services. The Company generally limits the use of such trade
transactions to promotional items or services for which the Company would
otherwise have paid cash. In addition, it is the Company's general policy not to
preempt advertising spots paid for in cash with advertising spots paid for in
trade.
 
     inTV advertising rates are primarily based on the number of cable
households reached, the effectiveness of infomercials, the nature of the
advertiser, the nature of the advertisement (local, national or network), and
ultimately the demand for available infomercial time. The Company attempts to
maximize revenue by increasing the number of cable homes reached providing
advertisers with increased viewership. The Company increases the number of cable
households reached both by increasing the reach of each of its stations through
the exercise of "must carry" rights and by acquiring broadcast stations in
additional markets. In addition, certain advertisers can measure the success of
an infomercial program almost immediately after a show is broadcast. The Company
believes the success of infomercials with viewers continues to drive advertisers
to use infomercials. As such, the demand for infomercials continues to increase.
 
COMPETITION
 
     The Company's radio and television stations compete with the other radio
and television broadcasting stations in their respective market areas, as well
as with other advertising media, including newspapers, television, magazines,
outdoor advertising, transit advertising and direct mail marketing. Competition
within the radio and television broadcasting industries occurs primarily in
individual market areas, so a station in one market does not generally compete
with stations in other market areas. In each of its markets, the Company's radio
and television stations face competition from other stations with substantial
financial resources, including, in certain instances, stations whose programming
is directed to the same demographic groups. In addition to management
experience, factors that are material to competitive positions include a
station's rank in its market, authorized power, assigned frequency or station
(as applicable), audience characteristics, local program acceptance and the
programming characteristics of other stations in the market area. The Company
attempts to improve its radio station's competitive position with extensive
research and promotional campaigns aimed at the demographic groups targeted by
its stations, and through sales efforts designed to attract advertisers,
including those who have done little or no radio advertising, by emphasizing the
effectiveness of radio advertising in increasing the advertisers' revenue.
Recent changes in the FCC's policies and rules permit increased joint ownership
and joint operation of local radio stations. Stations, such as those owned by
the Company, taking advantage of these joint arrangements may in certain
instances have lower operating costs and may be able to offer advertisers more
attractive rates and services. The Company attempts to improve its television
stations' competitive positions with local tie-in promotions and strong local
news segments. Although the Company believes that each of the Company's radio
and television stations can compete effectively in its market, there can be no
assurance that any of the Company's radio or television stations will be able to
maintain or increase its current audience rating or advertising revenue market
share.
 
     Although the radio and television broadcasting industries are highly
competitive, some barriers to entry exist. The operation of a radio or
television broadcasting station requires a license from the FCC, and the number
of radio and television stations that can operate in a given market is limited
by the availability of the
 
                                       44
<PAGE>   51
 
FM and AM radio frequencies or stations (as applicable) that the FCC will
license in that market. The radio and television broadcasting industries
historically have grown in terms of total revenue, despite the introduction of
new technologies for the delivery of entertainment and information, such as
cable, audio tapes and compact discs. The Company believes that radio's
portability makes it less vulnerable than other media to competition from new
methods of distribution or other technological advances. There can be no
assurance, however, that the involvement or introduction in the future of any
new media technology will not have an adverse effect on the radio or television
broadcasting industries.
 
     The Company's development of inTV and creation of a national long-form paid
programming distribution system is a relatively new concept, and there can be no
assurance of its success. The concept is subject to competition from several
sources. The Company's inTV stations face significant competition from
established broadcasting stations and cable television. Various television
networks carry blocks of infomercials and local cable operators also sell blocks
of time to long-form advertisers. To the extent that the Infomall TV Network is
successful, it is likely that the Company will face competition from new market
entrants, some of which could have significantly greater financial resources
than the Company. In addition, the Company could encounter competition as a
result of technological developments. The Company believes, however, that it can
compete on a favorable basis because it contains the only group of television
stations in the United States that currently offers infomercial advertisers both
significant national and regional distribution capabilities and inventory
availability during popular morning, daytime and prime time hours.
 
TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENTS, JOINT SALES AGREEMENTS AND OTHER INTERESTS IN
BROADCAST STATIONS
 
     The Company has made certain investments in broadcast properties with third
parties consisting of time brokerage agreements and joint sales agreements, as
well as the co-ownership of certain television stations and radio stations.
These investments in broadcast properties permit the Company to have a presence
in additional markets and to enjoy many, but not all, of the benefits of
ownership while at the same time remaining in compliance with FCC regulations.
 
     Time Brokerage Agreements.  The Company has entered into time brokerage
agreements with third parties pursuant to which the Company enjoys many, but not
all, of the benefits of operating a television station while not owning such
station. The Company may in the future enter into other time brokerage
agreements to operate stations prior to their acquisition or to enable the
Company to operate additional television stations that it might not be able to
own itself under current FCC multiple station ownership restrictions.
 
     As a result of changes embodied in the 1996 Act, certain of the FCC's
ownership limitations have been relaxed and, to take advantage of such changes,
the Company intends to exercise the Station Options and acquire WCTD-TV,
WFCT-TV, KUBD-TV, WTJC-TV, WCEE-TV and KWBF-TV, which stations have been
operated pursuant to time brokerage agreements with The Christian Network, Inc.
("CNI"). In addition, the Company is currently operating stations WSJN-TV and
WRMY-TV pursuant to time brokerage agreements pending the consummation of the
Company's investment in such stations.
 
     Upon consummation of the Proposed Acquisitions and the Station Options, the
Company will operate each of WTVX-TV, WOAC-TV, WNGM-TV, WHKE-TV and WIRB-TV
under time brokerage agreements. Three of such stations (WTVX-TV, WOAC-TV and
WNGM-TV) will be operated pursuant to time brokerage agreements with Whitehead
Media, Inc. and two (WHKE-TV and WIRB-TV) will be operated pursuant to time
brokerage agreements with subsidiaries of CNI. In addition, in connection with
the Company's acquisition of WHAI-TV, the Company was required by the FCC to
restructure its investment in WTWS-TV within six months of its acquisition of
WHAI-TV, in order to divest itself of an attributable interest, for FCC multiple
station ownership purposes, in WTWS-TV. The Company intends that, upon the
consummation of such restructured investment, WTWS-TV will be owned by an entity
owned by Steven Roberts and Michael Roberts (each of the entities owned or
controlled by Steven Roberts and Michael Roberts jointly and with which the
Company has an agreement is referred to herein as "Roberts Broadcasting"), and
the Company will operate WTWS-TV pursuant to a time brokerage agreement. With
certain limited exceptions, the time brokerage agreements of the Company entered
into other than in anticipation of the consummation of an acquisition
 
                                       45
<PAGE>   52
 
involve a basic transaction structure. The Company (i) finances the acquisition
by the third party of some or all of the assets of the brokered stations and
secures such financing by encumbering such assets including, to the extent
permitted under FCC rules and regulations, the FCC license and all of the
capital stock of the acquiring company; and (ii) enters into a time brokerage
agreement with such third party which allows the Company to operate the brokered
station, in accordance with FCC guidelines. In the case of Whitehead Media, the
Company initially financed the acquisition by Whitehead Media of each of WTVX-TV
and WOAC-TV. Whitehead Media subsequently obtained third party financing, a
portion of the proceeds of which was used to repay the debt owed by Whitehead
Media to the Company. In general, payments made to the FCC licensee under the
time brokerage agreement are established, and renegotiated from time to time,
based upon increases in expenses for which the FCC licensee must, in accordance
with FCC regulations, remain primarily liable, including servicing the
indebtedness owed by such FCC licensee to the Company or, in the case of
Whitehead Media, to third parties. In certain circumstances, the Company may
acquire certain tangible assets useful in the construction or operation of the
brokered station and lease such assets to the brokered station. In addition,
unless prohibited by FCC rules and regulations, the FCC licensee also grants to
the Company an option to purchase the station for an amount payable in cash
together with the forgiveness of all outstanding indebtedness. Upon consummation
of the Proposed Acquisitions and the exercise of the Station Options, the
Company will have options to purchase four (WTVX-TV, WOAC-TV, WNGM-TV and
WHKE-TV) of the six stations which the Company will operate pursuant to time
brokerage agreements. The Company has no ownership interest in Whitehead Media,
CNI or Roberts Broadcasting.
 
     Other Investments in Television Properties.  The Company is currently
operating WSJN-TV pursuant to a time brokerage agreement pending its acquisition
of a 50% interest in S&E Network, Inc. for approximately $4,000,000. S&E
Network, Inc., a Puerto Rican corporation, is the licensee of the station and is
currently 100% owned by Housing Development Associates, S.A. ("HDA"). The
Company's investment in WSJN-TV will be consummated upon the receipt of
regulatory approvals and thereafter, the Company will control substantially all
of the programming time and other operations of the station pursuant to a
management agreement with HDA.
 
   
     The Company is currently operating station WRMY-TV pursuant to a time
brokerage agreement pending the consummation of the Offering, and has also
agreed to lend to Roberts Broadcasting Company of Raleigh-Durham, L.P., a
limited partnership which is the licensee of the station and of which Roberts
Broadcasting is the sole general partner, up to $4,000,000 to relocate and
upgrade the station's transmitter facilities. The Company has an option to
convert a portion of its investment in WRMY-TV into a 40% limited partnership
interest, with Roberts Broadcasting holding the remaining 60% partnership
interest. The limited partnership agreement that governs the Company's
partnership interest in WRMY-TV provides the Company the right to approve
substantially all of the programming to be aired on the station and to
participate in certain fundamental decisions concerning the operation and
management of the station, including, for example, the approval of station
budgets.
    
 
     The Company has agreed to acquire for $850,000 a 50% interest in Roberts
Broadcasting of Salt Lake City, L.L.C. a Delaware limited liability company
which will be the licensee of KZAR-TV and of which Roberts Broadcasting will be
the sole other member, and to loan the station up to $3,180,000 to relocate and
upgrade its transmitter facilities. Similarly, the Company has agreed to acquire
for $1,000,000 a 50% interest in Offshore Television Company, L.L.C., a Delaware
limited liability company which will be the licensee of WOST-TV and of which
Offshore Broadcasting Corporation will be the sole other member, and to loan the
station up to $2,500,000 to relocate and upgrade its transmitter facilities. The
business of each of the limited liability companies which will own and operate
KZAR-TV and WOST-TV will be managed under the terms of an "operating agreement"
between the Company and, respectively, Roberts Broadcasting and Offshore
Broadcasting Corporation. The Company expects that each of such operating
agreements will provide it and the other member of such limited liability
company the right to approve programming and other decisions concerning the
operation of the station.
 
     The loan and security documents governing the terms and conditions of the
loans extended by the Company to each of WRMY-TV, KZAR-TV and WOST-TV contain
customary negative and affirmative covenants made for the benefit of the Company
as a lender to such stations, including limitations on the
 
                                       46
<PAGE>   53
 
incurrence of indebtedness, restrictions on liens, prohibitions on sales of
assets and the Company's prior approval of significant contracts and agreements.
 
     The Company has also extended financing to Cocola Media Corporation of
Florida ("Cocola"), which has in turn financed the construction by WPB
Communications, Inc. of television station WHBI-TV, which is licensed to
Hispanic Broadcasting, Inc. WPB Communications, Inc. is the holder of an option
to acquire WHBI-TV from Hispanic Broadcasting, Inc. after the station commences
broadcast operations. After the consummation of the acquisition by WPB
Communications, Inc., Cocola has an option to acquire the station and, pending
the consummation of such option acquisition, the right to operate WHBI-TV
pursuant to a time brokerage agreement. The Company expects to enter an
affiliation agreement with Cocola after Cocola acquires WHBI-TV, pursuant to
which WHBI-TV would air inTV programming. The Company does not have any
ownership interest in Cocola, WPB Communications, Inc. or Hispanic Broadcasting,
Inc.
 
     Joint Sales Agreements and other Radio Investments.  The Company currently
provides sales and marketing services under a joint sales agreement for each of
radio stations WACC-AM, serving the Miami radio market, and WFSJ-FM, serving the
Jacksonville radio market, while the owner of each such station provides the
programming for such radio station. The Company owns a 49% interest in WACC-AM
and has agreed to acquire WFSJ-FM for a total consideration of $5 million,
consisting of $1.7 million in Company common stock, cancellation of $1.75
million in indebtedness to the Company, and assumption and repayment by the
Company of a $1.55 million note to Mr. Paxson. See "Certain Transactions."
 
FEDERAL REGULATION OF BROADCASTING
 
     The FCC regulates radio and television broadcast stations pursuant to the
Communications Act. The Communications Act permits the operation of radio and
television broadcast stations only in accordance with a license issued by the
FCC upon a finding that the grant of such license would serve the public
interest, convenience and necessity. The Communications Act provides for the FCC
to exercise its licensing authority to provide a fair, efficient and equitable
distribution of broadcast service throughout the United States.
 
   
     The Communications Act empowers the FCC, among other things, to determine
the frequencies, location and power of broadcast stations; to issue, modify,
renew and revoke station licenses; to approve the assignment or transfer of
control of broadcast licenses; to regulate the equipment used by stations; to
impose fees for processing applications; to adopt regulations to implement the
provisions of the Communications Act; and to impose penalties for violations of
the Communications Act or FCC regulations. The FCC may revoke licenses for,
among other things, false statements made to the FCC or willful or repeated
violations of the Communications Act or of FCC rules. Legislation has been
introduced from time to time to amend the Communications Act in various respects
and the FCC from time to time considers new regulations or amendments to its
existing regulations. On February 8, 1996, the President signed into law the
1996 Act. The 1996 Act changes many provisions of the Communications Act and
requires the FCC to change its existing rules and adopt new rules in several
areas affecting broadcasting. The Company cannot predict whether Congress will
enact any further such legislation, whether the FCC will adopt new or amend
existing regulations (although the 1996 Act requires the FCC to institute a rule
making proceeding to amend broadcast rules), or what the effect of such actions
would be on the Company.
    
 
     The following is a brief summary of certain provisions of the
Communications Act and the rules of the FCC. Reference should be made to the
Communications Act and the rules, orders, decisions and published policies of
the FCC for further information on FCC regulation of television and radio
broadcast stations.
 
     License Renewal.  The Communications Act provides that a broadcast station
license may be granted to an applicant if the public interest, convenience and
necessity will be served thereby, subject to certain limitations. In making
licensing determinations, the FCC considers an applicant's legal, technical,
financial and other qualifications. Broadcast station licenses are granted for
specific, limited periods, and, upon application, are renewable for additional
terms. Prior to recent amendments to the Communications Act in the 1996 Act, the
Communications Act provided for radio broadcast station licenses to be granted
for a maximum term of seven years, and television station licenses to be granted
for a maximum term of five years. The 1996 Act extends the license term for both
television and radio broadcast stations to eight years. The FCC has not
 
                                       47
<PAGE>   54
 
   
yet proposed regulations to implement the new license terms. In addition, the
1996 Act provides that, if a broadcast station fails to transmit broadcast
signals for any consecutive 12-month period, the station license expires at the
end of that 12-month period without regard to the stated term of the license.
The Company's current licenses, and the licenses of stations with which the
Company has time brokerage agreements expire on the following dates:

(a) Each station is licensed by the FCC to serve a specific community which is
    included in the listed market.
(b) Operated pursuant to a time brokerage agreement pending exercise of the
    Station Options.
 
     The Company timely filed license renewal applications for all of its
Florida radio stations with the FCC which renewal applications were required to
be filed on or before October 1, 1995. These applications are subject to public
comment and interested third parties could have filed formal petitions to deny
each license renewal application with the FCC on or before January 2, 1996. No
such petitions were filed. Two of such station licenses (WLVE-FM) and (WJRR-FM)
were renewed through February 1, 2003. While the license for each of the Florida
radio stations other than WLVE-FM and WJRR-FM expired on February 1, 1996, the
Communications Act provides that, because the FCC has not acted on such
applications, such station licenses shall automatically continue in force until
the pending renewal applications have been acted upon. Based upon its review of
FCC records, the Company is not aware of any petitions or other informal
objections filed against any one of its pending radio station license renewal
applications. The Company expects its pending renewal applications for its
Florida radio station licenses to be acted upon favorably by the FCC and for
such licenses to be renewed through February 1, 2003.
 
     Generally, the FCC renews licenses without a hearing. The Communications
Act authorizes the filing of petitions to deny and of competing applications
against license renewal applications during specified periods after the renewal
applications have been filed. Interested parties, including members of the
public, may file petitions to deny as a means to raise issues concerning the
renewal applicant's qualifications. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 removed
the opportunity for the filing of competing applications against an incumbent
licensee at renewal time. Instead, the FCC will renew broadcast licenses if the
incumbent meets three requirements: (1) the station has served the public
interest, convenience and necessity; (2) the licensee has not seriously violated
the Communications Act or the FCC's rules; and (3) there have been no other
violations, which, taken together, would constitute a pattern of abuse. If an
applicant for renewal fails to satisfy this tripartite standard, the FCC
nevertheless may renew the license on appropriate terms and conditions,
including renewal for less than a full license term. The FCC may not consider
applications for the channel by other parties until it first has decided to deny
renewal to the incumbent. Before denying renewal to an incumbent, the FCC must
first allow the licensee a hearing on the licensee's alleged failure to satisfy
the statutory standard. The Communications Act, as amended, now prohibits the
FCC from considering whether another licensee would be preferable until it first
has determined that the incumbent does not qualify for renewal.
 
     In recent years, there have been a number of petitions to deny filed with
respect to broadcast license renewal applications, but in the vast majority of
cases the FCC has renewed incumbent operators' station licenses.
 
     Ownership Matters.  The Communications Act requires the prior approval of
the FCC for the assignment of a broadcast license or the transfer of control of
a corporation or other entity holding a license. In determining whether to
approve an assignment of a broadcast license or a transfer of control of a
broadcast licensee, the FCC considers, among other things, the financial and
legal qualifications of the prospective
 
                                       49
<PAGE>   56
 
assignee or transferee, including compliance with FCC restrictions on alien
ownership and control, compliance with rules limiting the common ownership of
certain attributable interests in broadcast, cable and newspaper properties, and
the character qualifications of the transferee or assignee and the individuals
or entities holding attributable interests in them.
 
     The FCC generally applies its ownership limits to attributable interests
held by an individual, corporation, partnership, or other association or entity.
In the case of corporations holding broadcast licenses, the interests of
officers, directors, and those who, directly or indirectly, have the right to
vote five percent or more of the corporation's stock are generally attributable,
as are positions of an officer or director of a corporate parent of a broadcast
licensee. The FCC treats all partnership interests as attributable, except for
those limited partnership interests that are insulated under FCC policies. For
insurance companies, certain regulated investment companies and bank trust
departments, that hold stock for investment purposes only, such interests become
attributable with the ownership of ten percent or more of the stock of the
corporation holding broadcast licenses. The FCC's rules specify exceptions to
the general principles for attribution. For example, in a corporation with a
single majority shareholder, such as the Company, no other shareholder is deemed
to hold an attributable interest.
 
   
     The 1996 Act substantially relaxed and restructured ownership rules
applicable to broadcast entities by removing restrictions on the number of
television stations a single entity may own or control nationwide and increasing
the nationwide audience reach ceiling for television ownership. Under the new
rules, an entity will be able to hold an attributable interest in television
stations reaching up to 35% of the United States television households. The 1996
Act also removes entirely the nationwide limits on the number of radio broadcast
stations in which a single entity may hold an attributable interest. In
addition, the new act changed the local radio ownership rules to increase the
number of radio stations a single entity may own in a single market:
    
 
          If there are fourteen or fewer stations in a market, a single entity
     may own as many as five stations and three same-service stations (that is,
     AM or FM), except that a single entity may not own, operate or control more
     than 50% of the stations in a market with fourteen or fewer commercial
     radio broadcast stations;
 
          In a market with between fifteen and twenty-nine stations, a single
     entity may own or control six stations and four stations in the same
     service;
 
          In a market with thirty to forty-four stations, a single entity may
     own or control a total of seven stations and four same-service stations;
     and
 
          In a market of forty-five or more stations, a single entity may own or
     control a total of eight stations with up to five same-service stations.
 
   
     The FCC also has rules that limit the number of co-located radio or
television broadcast stations in which a single entity may own an attributable
interest. Certain of these rules also will change because of the 1996 Act. For
television, no single entity may hold an attributable interest in television
stations with overlapping Grade B service contours. The 1996 Act directs the FCC
to conduct a rule making proceeding to determine whether these rules should be
retained. The Grade B contour is a predicted signal strength contour that
generally approximates the area within which a viewer can receive off-the-air a
signal adequate for normal viewing. The local ownership restrictions for radio
broadcast stations vary based on market size.
    
 
     Under local radio ownership rules, an entity with an attributable interest
in one radio station is considered also to have an attributable interest in any
other radio station in the same market for which the first radio station
provides the programming for more than 15% of the broadcast time, on a weekly
basis. As a result, such programming arrangements may not be entered into by
radio station combinations that could not be commonly owned under FCC rules.
 
     The FCC's cross-ownership rules prohibit the common ownership of
attributable interests in certain combinations of media outlets serving the same
geographic area. Under these rules, a single entity may not have an attributable
interest in: (i) both a radio station and a television station that serve
specified overlapping areas; (ii) a daily newspaper and either a radio station
or a television station that serve specified overlapping
 
                                       50
<PAGE>   57
 
areas; or (iii) a television station and a cable television system that serve
specified overlapping areas. (The 1996 Act deleted the statutory prohibition on
a single entity owning both a television station and a cable television system
in the same market, but did not require the FCC to change its rule that imposes
this restriction.) The FCC has established a liberal waiver policy to permit
common ownership of a radio station and a television station in any of the
nation's 25 largest markets, and in some circumstances involving failed stations
and in other situations where more stringent waiver standards can be met. The
1996 Act extends this waiver policy to the top 50 markets. In addition,
legislative proposals have been made from time to time to liberalize or
strengthen these prohibitions. See "Proposed Changes."
 
     In cases involving competing media in the same market, FCC policy in
certain instances prohibits common ownership interests under its cross-interest
policy even if the interests involved are non-voting or other non-attributable
interests not specifically forbidden under the FCC's cross-ownership rules. The
FCC has initiated proceedings to inquire whether it should change or eliminate
this policy, covering joint ventures and common key employees. The policy does
not necessarily prohibit these interests, but may require that the FCC consider
whether they could have a significant adverse affect on programming diversity
and competition in the market. See "Proposed Changes."
 
     In cases where one person or entity (such as Mr. Paxson in the case of the
Company) holds more than 50% of the combined voting power of the common stock of
a broadcasting corporation, a minority shareholder of the corporation generally
would not acquire an attributable interest in the corporation. Any attributable
interest by any shareholder in another broadcast station or daily newspaper in a
market where such a corporation owns or seeks to acquire a station may still be
subject to review by the FCC under its cross-interest policy, and could result
in the Company's being unable to obtain from the FCC one or more authorizations
needed to acquire other broadcast stations. Furthermore, if a majority
shareholder of a company (such as Mr. Paxson in the case of the Company) were no
longer to hold more than 50% of the combined voting power of the common stock of
the Company, the interests of minority shareholders that had theretofore been
considered non-attributable could become attributable, with the result that any
other media interests held by such shareholders would be combined with the media
interests of such company for purposes of determining the shareholders'
compliance with FCC ownership rules. In the event of any noncompliance, steps
required to achieve compliance could include divestitures by either the
shareholder or the affected company. Furthermore, other media interests of
shareholders having or acquiring an attributable interest in such a company
could result in the company's being unable to obtain FCC consents for future
acquisitions. Conversely, the Company's media interests could operate to
restrict other media investments by shareholders having or acquiring an interest
in the Company.
 
   
     Under the Communications Act, no FCC broadcast license may be held by a
corporation of which more than one-fifth of its capital stock is owned of record
or voted by aliens or their representatives or by a foreign government or
representative thereof, or by any corporation organized under the laws of a
foreign country (collectively "Aliens"). Furthermore, the Communications Act
provides that no FCC broadcast license may be granted to any corporation
directly or indirectly controlled by any other corporation of which more than
one-fourth of its capital stock is owned of record or voted by Aliens if the FCC
should find that the public interest would be served by the refusal of such
license. Restrictions on alien ownership also apply, in modified form, to other
types of business organizations, including partnerships.
    
 
     Programming and Operation.  The Communications Act requires broadcasters to
serve the public interest. Since the late 1970's, the FCC gradually has relaxed
or eliminated many of the more formalized procedures it developed to promote the
broadcast of certain types of programming responsive to the needs of a station's
market. Nevertheless, broadcast licensees continue to be required to present
programming that responds to community problems, needs and interests and to
maintain certain records demonstrating such responsiveness. Complaints from
listeners or viewers about a broadcast station's programming often will be
considered by the FCC when it evaluates renewal applications of a licensee,
although such complaints may be filed at any time.
 
     Broadcast of obscene or indecent material is regulated by the FCC as well
as by state and federal law. Stations also must follow various rules promulgated
under the Communications Act that regulate, among
 
                                       51
<PAGE>   58
 
other things, political advertising, sponsorship identifications, the
advertising of contests and lotteries, and technical operations, including
limits on radio frequency radiation. In addition, licensees must develop and
implement affirmative action programs designed to promote equal employment
opportunities, and must submit reports to the FCC with respect to these matters
on an annual basis and in connection with a renewal application. Pursuant to the
Children's Television Act of 1990, the FCC has adopted rules limiting
advertising in children's television programming and required that television
broadcast stations serve the educational and informational needs of children.
The Children's Television Act specifically requires that the FCC consider
compliance with these obligations in deciding whether to renew a television
broadcast license.
 
     Failure to observe these or other rules and policies can result in the
imposition of various sanctions, including monetary forfeitures, the grant of
short term renewals or, for particularly egregious violations, the denial of a
license renewal application or the revocation of a license.
 
     Time Brokerage Agreements.  Over the past several years a significant
number of radio broadcast licensees, including certain of the Company's
subsidiaries, have entered into time brokerage agreements. While these
agreements may take varying forms, under a typical time brokerage agreement
separately-owned and licensed radio stations agree to enter into arrangements of
varying sorts, subject to compliance with the requirements of antitrust laws and
with the FCC's rules and policies. These arrangements are subject under FCC
rules and regulations to maintenance by the licensee of each station of
independent control over the programming and station operations of its own
station.
 
     Typically, a time brokerage agreement is a programming agreement between
two separately owned radio stations serving a common service area, whereby the
licensee of one station programs substantial parts of the broadcast day on the
other licensee's station, subject to ultimate editorial and other controls being
exercised by the licensee of the brokered station. The broker then sells
advertising time during such program segments for its own account. Such
arrangements are an extension of the concept of time brokerage, under which a
licensee of a station sells the right to broadcast blocks of time on its station
to an entity or entities which program the blocks of time and sell their own
commercial advertising for their own account during the time periods in
question.
 
     The FCC has determined that issues of joint advertising sales should be
left to antitrust enforcement. In addition, it has specifically exempted time
brokerage agreements from its cross-interest policy. Furthermore, the FCC and
the staff of the FCC's Mass Media Bureau have held that time brokerage
agreements do not per se constitute a transfer of control and are not contrary
to the Communications Act provided that the licensee of the station maintains
ultimate responsibility for and control over operations of its broadcast station
(including, specifically, control over station finances, licensee personnel and
programming) and complies with applicable FCC rules and with antitrust laws.
Thus far, the FCC has not considered what relevance, if any, a time brokerage
agreement may have upon its evaluation of a licensee's performance at renewal
time.
 
     Under certain circumstances, the FCC will consider a station brokering time
on another radio station serving the same market to have an attributable
ownership interest in the brokered station for purposes of the FCC's radio local
ownership rules. In particular, a radio broadcast station is not permitted to
enter into a time brokerage agreement giving it the right to program more than
15% of the broadcast time, on a weekly basis, of another local station that it
could not own under the FCC's revised local radio duopoly multiple ownership
rules. Nevertheless, radio time brokerage agreements entered into before
September 16, 1992 are generally grandfathered. The FCC has no present rules on
the attribution of television time brokerage agreements as it does with radio
time brokerage agreements. The FCC has adopted an interim policy on the grant of
transfer and assignment applications that include television time brokerage
agreements and the FCC is now considering whether to adopt rules governing
television time brokerage agreements. The 1996 Act grandfathered time brokerage
agreements existing at the time of its passage and included a provision that the
broadcast ownership section of the act is not to be construed to prohibit the
origination, continuation or renewal of any television time brokerage agreement
that complies with FCC regulations. See "Proposed Changes."
 
     The FCC rules also prohibit a radio broadcast licensee from simulcasting
more than 25% of its programming on another station in the same radio broadcast
service (that is, AM-AM or FM-FM) whether it
 
                                       52
<PAGE>   59
 
owns both stations or operates both through a time brokerage agreement if the
brokered and brokering stations serve substantially the same geographic area.
 
     "Must Carry"/Retransmission Consent.  Some provisions of the 1992 Cable Act
and the implementing rules adopted by the FCC, such as signal and carriage and
equal employment opportunity requirements, directly affect television
broadcasting. Other provisions, although focused exclusively on the regulation
of cable television, may indirectly affect the Company because of the
competition between over-the-air television stations and cable systems.
 
     The 1992 Cable Act contains broadcast signal carriage requirements that
allow local commercial television broadcast stations to elect once every three
years to require a cable system to carry the station on certain designated cable
channels subject to certain exceptions, or to negotiate for retransmission
consent to carry the station. A cable system generally is required to devote up
to one-third of its activated channel capacity for the mandatory carriage of
local commercial television stations. Local non-commercial television stations
are also given mandatory carriage rights; however, such stations are not given
the option to negotiate retransmission consent for the carriage of their signals
by cable systems. Additionally, cable systems are required to obtain
retransmission consent for all distant commercial television stations (except
for commercial satellite-delivered independent superstations such as WTBS),
commercial radio stations and certain low power television stations carried by
such systems after October 6, 1993.
 
     On April 8, 1993, a special three-judge federal district court issued a
decision upholding the constitutional validity of the mandatory signal carriage
requirements. In June 1994, the United States Supreme Court vacated this
decision and remanded it to the district court to determine, among other
matters, whether the statutory carriage requirements are necessary to preserve
the economic viability of the broadcast industry. On December 12, 1995, a
three-judge federal district court panel again upheld the constitutional
validity of the mandatory signal carriage requirements, ruling that reasonable
evidence supported Congress' conclusion that "must carry" rules are necessary to
preserve the economic validity of the broadcast industry. The district court's
decision has been appealed to the Supreme Court, but the mandatory broadcast
signal carriage requirements will remain in effect pending the outcome of the
further proceedings. The Company cannot predict whether the Supreme Court will
ultimately uphold or strike down the mandatory signal carriage requirements. If
a station is not carried by a cable system in its area or is shifted to an
undesirable channel on such cable system, the station could experience a decline
in viewership that could adversely affect its revenue, particularly revenue from
stations carried on a cable system solely to comply with the "must carry" law
(for example, if the Infomall programming competes with the cable system's own,
similar non-broadcast offering).
 
     The 1996 Act allows for telephone companies to provide video programming as
an "Open Video System." The FCC is required to adopt regulations mandating must
carry for commercial and noncommercial stations and retransmission consent for
these operators.
 
     The 1996 Act modified the way in which markets for carriage will be
determined for purposes of the must-carry rules. The new act provides that,
instead of using markets previously defined by the Arbitron ratings service, the
FCC will determine a broadcast station's market by using commercial publications
that delineate television markets based on viewing patterns. This modification
will allow the FCC to use Nielsen's DMAs to delineate markets. The FCC is
authorized to entertain requests for expansion or other modification of
television station markets, and is now required to resolve any market
modification request within 120 days after the request is filed or within 120
days of enactment of the 1996 Act, whichever is later. The grant of such
requests by a licensee to extend its "must carry" rights into another ADI may
fractionalize the viewing audience of other television stations already
classified as entitled to "must carry" rights within the DMA.
 
     The 1996 Act also directs the FCC to adopt regulations to allow local
exchange telephone companies to provide video programming either as cable
operators or under the newly-established category of "Open Video Systems." If a
local exchange telephone company decides to provide video programming as a cable
operator, it will be subject to the same must-carry/retransmission consent
requirements as a cable operator. The FCC also is directed to adopt rules
requiring operators of Open Video Systems to be subject to regulations regarding
"must carry" for commercial and noncommercial broadcast stations, network
nonduplication, syndicated exclusivity protection and retransmission consent
options. Operators of Open Video Systems will be required
 
                                       53
<PAGE>   60
 
to carry identification of broadcast stations on any navigational device, guide,
or menu that they have on their System.
 
     Equal Employment Opportunity Requirements.  The 1992 Cable Act also
codified the FCC's existing equal employment opportunity ("EEO") regulations and
reporting forms used by television broadcast stations. In addition, as required
by the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has adopted rules providing for a review of the
EEO performance of each television station at the mid-point in its license term
(in addition to an examination at renewal time) and for the FCC to inform the
licensee of any improvements in recruiting practices that may be needed as a
result of the review. The FCC recently proposed rules that would reduce the EEO
recordkeeping and filing requirements of certain categories of stations. The FCC
has also proposed to give broadcasters credit for using the recruiting resources
of a central source, such as a state broadcast association, and has proposed to
adopt guidelines for imposing forfeitures for EEO violations.
 
     Syndicated Exclusivity/Territorial Exclusivity.  The FCC has imposed on
cable operators syndicated exclusivity rules and expanded existing network
non-duplication rules. These syndicated exclusivity rules allow local broadcast
stations to require that cable operators black out certain syndicated
non-network programming carried on distant signals (that is, signals of
broadcast stations, including so-called super stations, which serve areas
substantially removed from the cable system's local community). The network
non-duplication rules allow local broadcast network affiliates to require that
cable operators black out duplicating network broadcast programming carried on
more distant signals that are not significantly viewed over the air.
 
     Prime Time Access Rules.  The FCC's prime time access rule places
programming restrictions on affiliates of major national television networks. In
the past, this rule restricted affiliates of networks in the 50 largest
television markets (as defined by the rule) generally to no more than three
hours of network programming during the four hours of prime time. Recently, the
FCC changed its definition of network to include those entities that deliver
more than 15 hours of prime time programming (a term defined in those rules) to
affiliates reaching 75% of the nation's television homes. Under this definition,
certain national television networks are not subject to the prime time access
rule. In July 1995, the FCC issued an order repealing the prime time access
rules, subject to a one-year transition period during which the rules will
continue in effect. If the order is not modified or overturned, the prime time
access rules will terminate on August 30, 1996. The Company cannot predict what
effect the repeal of the rules may have on the operation of its
network-affiliated television stations or the market for syndicated television
programming.
 
     V-Chip.  The 1996 Act encourages the industry to establish a ratings system
for video programming. If the industry fails to establish such a ratings system
within one year, the FCC is directed to appoint a Committee to recommend a
ratings system. The 1996 Act also requires the inclusion of an electronic device
(the "V-Chip") in new television sets, which will enable parents to block
programming that contains a certain rating.
 
     Television and radio broadcast stations also may be subject to a number of
other federal, state and local regulation, including regulations of the Federal
Aviation Administration affecting tower height and marking, and federal, state
and local environmental and land use restrictions and general business
regulation, and a variety of local regulatory concerns.
 
     Proposed Changes.  The Congress and the FCC have under consideration, and
in the future may consider and adopt, new laws, regulations and policies
involving a wide variety of matters that could affect, directly or indirectly,
the operation, ownership and profitability of the Company's broadcast stations,
result in the loss of audience and advertising revenue for the Company's
broadcast stations and affect the ability of the Company to acquire additional
broadcast stations or finance such acquisitions.
 
     Implementation of Amendments to the Communications Act.  The 1996 Act is
one of the most significant changes to the Communications Act since its adoption
in 1934. The 1996 Act expressly requires the FCC to change its rules in many
significant respects, and additional rule making proceedings may be required to
adapt present FCC requirements to the new law. As the 1996 Act only recently has
been passed and become law and the FCC has not yet begun the proceedings that
the 1996 Act requires, it remains to be seen
 
                                       54
<PAGE>   61
 
how the FCC will interpret certain provisions of the 1996 Act. Although the
focus of the 1996 Act is on telephony, the Act will result in changes to several
provisions of the law relating to broadcasters.
 
     --FCC Proceedings to Revise Broadcast Ownership Rules.  The FCC has several
pending rule making proceedings to consider aspects of its ownership rules
affecting broadcasting that predate the enactment of the 1996 Act. The passage
of the 1996 Act will affect the outcome of these proceedings, and the FCC may
initiate new or further proceedings to consider some of these matters in view of
the new amendments to the Communications Act. In January 1995, the FCC issued a
further notice of proposed rule making which proposed the following changes in
regulations governing television broadcasting: (i) modifying the reach discount
as it applies to UHF stations; (ii) narrowing the geographic area where common
ownership restrictions would be triggered by limiting it to overlapping Grade A
contours rather than Grade B contours and by permitting (or granting waivers in
particular cases or markets) certain UHF/UHF or UHF/VHF overlaps; (iii) relaxing
the rules prohibiting cross-ownership of radio and television stations in the
same market to allow certain combinations where there remain alternative outlets
and suppliers to ensure diversity; and (iv) treating television time brokerage
agreements the same as radio time brokerage agreements which would presently
preclude certain television time brokerage agreements where the programmer owns
or has an attributable interest in another television station in the same
market. In June 1995, the FCC announced an interim policy for processing
television transfer and assignment application that include time brokerage
agreements. Pending the adoption of new rules, the FCC has stated that it will
not grant applications that propose a time brokerage arrangement if the
arrangement also includes both debt financing by the time broker and an option
for the time broker to purchase the brokered station. The FCC has stated that it
will continue to grant applications with time-brokerage arrangement if they
include only one of those elements (that is, either debt financing by the broker
or an option of the time broker to purchase). Adoption of the most restrictive
proposals in this proceeding could limit the Company's alternatives for entering
into new time brokerage agreements and making new broadcast acquisitions and, if
existing arrangements are not grandfathered, could require the Company to modify
or terminate certain of its time brokerage agreements.
 
     In January 1995, the FCC issued a further notice of proposed rule making
that combined several long-pending proceedings to consider changes in its
ownership rules and policies. In the new proceeding, the FCC is considering,
among other things, (i) whether to make non-voting stock interests attributable;
(ii) whether to change attribution thresholds; (iii) how to treat limited
liability companies for purposes of attribution; (iv) whether to extend the
cross-interest policy to require review of multi-layered business relationships,
including debt relationships, that now are not subject to scrutiny; and (v)
whether to change the insulation standards for non-attribution of limited
partnership interests. Adoption of the most restrictive alternatives available
to the FCC could require that the Company, in assessing acquisition and
compliance strategies, take into account additional interests in itself and its
principals that are now exempt from FCC ownership regulation, and potentially
divest or restructure some interests.
 
     In a second notice of proposed rule making the FCC is seeking comment on
whether the FCC should relax attribution and other rules to facilitate greater
minority and female ownership.
 
     The 1996 Act directs the FCC to conduct biannual review of its broadcast
ownership rules, to determine whether the rules continue to be in the public
interest, and to repeal or modify regulations found to no longer serve the
public interest.
 
     FCC Inquiry on Broadcast of Commercial Matter.  The FCC also has initiated
a notice of inquiry proceeding seeking comment on whether the public interest
would be served by establishing limits on the amount of commercial matter
broadcast by television stations. No prediction can be made at this time as to
whether the FCC will propose any limits on commercial advertising at the
conclusion of its deliberation or the effect the imposition of limits on the
commercial matter broadcast by television stations would have upon the Company's
operations.
 
     Digital Audio Broadcasting.  The FCC recently has allocated spectrum to a
new technology, digital audio broadcasting ("DAB"), to deliver satellite-based
audio programming to a national or regional audience and is considering rules
for a DAB service. DAB may provide a medium for the delivery by satellite or
terrestrial means of multiple new audio programming formats with compact disc
quality sound to local and
 
                                       55
<PAGE>   62
 
national audiences. It is not known at this time whether this technology also
may be used in the future by existing radio broadcast stations either on
existing or alternate broadcasting frequencies. In addition, applications by
several entities currently are pending at the FCC for authority to offer
multiple channels of digital, satellite-delivered S-Band aural services that
could compete with conventional terrestrial radio broadcasting. These satellite
radio services use technology that may permit higher sound quality than is
possible with conventional AM and FM terrestrial radio broadcasting. Thus far,
the FCC has not granted the pending requests for authorizations to offer
satellite radio, nor has it adopted rules for the proposed satellite radio
service. Implementation of DAB would provide an additional audio programming
service that could compete with the Company's radio stations for listeners, but
the effect upon the Company cannot be predicted.
 
     Advanced High Definition Television System.  The FCC has also begun to
adopt rules for implementing advanced (high definition) television ("ATV") in
the United States. Implementation of ATV service should improve the technical
quality of television broadcasts. In anticipation of the implementation of ATV
operations, the 1996 Act directs the FCC to adopt ATV technical standards and
other rules necessary to protect the public interest. The FCC is authorized (but
not required) to establish minimum hours of ATV operation. The act also provides
for the FCC to limit the eligibility for ATV licenses to existing television
licensees and permittees. The FCC is directed to condition ATV licenses on
recapture of either the new ATV spectrum or television licensees' initial
spectrum, but neither the timetable nor the subsequent use of recaptured
spectrum is specified. Ten years after it first issues ATV licenses, however,
the FCC must evaluate its regulation and public acceptance of ATV, including
possible alternative uses of and reduction in ATV spectrum.
 
     The FCC is required to adopt rules permitting ATV licensees to offer
"ancillary or supplementary services" on newly-available ATV spectrum, so long
as such services are consistent with the FCC's ATV standards; do not derogate
required ATV services, including high definition television; and are regulated
in the same manner as similar non-ATV services. Ancillary or supplementary
services will not have must-carry rights on cable television systems. All
services using ATV spectrum must be consistent with the public interest and
renewal applicants will be required to establish that all conventional and ATV
program services are in the public interest. Failure to comply with FCC
requirements governing ancillary or supplementary ATV services will reflect
adversely on renewal qualifications.
 
     Licensees which use ATV frequencies to provide ancillary or supplementary
services on a subscription or similar paid basis (commercially-supported
non-subscription broadcasting is excluded) will be required to pay annual fees,
based on the amount of spectrum being used and the time it is used for ancillary
and supplementary services. The fee is not to exceed the amount which would have
been received had the spectrum been auctioned for similar uses.
 
     The FCC has decided that it will set aside specific new channel allotments
for ATV service. Initial eligibility for these channels will be limited to
existing television licensees. The FCC has not yet adopted a new technical
standard for ATV, nor has it adopted a new Table of Allotments for ATV channels.
 
     Under the FCC's current plan for phasing in ATV service, each television
station would be able to continue to provide conventional television service on
its regular channel until advanced television service has become the prevalent
medium. In August 1995, the FCC issued its Fourth Further Notice of Proposed
Rule Making and Third Notice of Inquiry in its ATV proceeding. The notice and
inquiry requested public comment on a number of issues in connection with the
establishment of ATV television broadcasting, including: (i) procedures and
timetables for existing broadcasters to move to ATV channels and relinquish
their present spectrum; (ii) restrictions on the use of ATV channels during the
transition period; (iii) the effect of conversion to digital transmission on a
broadcaster's public interest obligations; (iv) incentives for the rapid
adoption of ATV transmission technologies by broadcasters and by the public, and
(v) the impact of ATV on cable television carriage or retransmission consent.
Fifteen years after the start date, television broadcasters would be required to
surrender their conventional television licenses. Implementation of ATV service
is likely to impose additional costs on television stations providing new
service due to increased equipment costs. While
 
                                       56
<PAGE>   63
 
the Company believes the FCC will authorize ATV, the Company cannot predict when
such authorization might be given or the effect such authorization might have on
the Company's business.
 
     Other changes that may result from matters under consideration by the FCC
or the Congress include: (i) spectrum use or other fees on FCC licensees; (ii)
the FCC's EEO rules and other matters relating to female or minority involvement
in the broadcasting industry; (iii) rules relating to political broadcasting;
(iv) technical and frequency allocation matters; (v) changes in the FCC's
cross-interest, multiple ownership and cross-ownership rules and policies; (vi)
changes in the tax deductibility of advertising expenses; (vii) changes in
standards governing the evaluation and regulation of television programming
directed toward children, and violent or indecent programming; and (viii)
changes in regulation of the relationship between major television networks and
their affiliates.
 
     The foregoing is only a brief summary of certain provisions of the
Communications Act and of specific FCC and other regulations. Reference is made
to the Communications Act, FCC regulations, and the public notices and rulings
of the FCC for further information concerning the nature and extent of federal
regulation of broadcast stations.
 
EMPLOYEES
 
     As of December 31, 1995, the Company had approximately 714 full-time
employees and approximately 202 part-time employees, for a total of 916
employees. None of its employees is represented by a labor union. The Company
considers its relations with its employees to be good.
 
SEASONALITY
 
     Seasonal revenue fluctuations are common within the radio and television
broadcasting industry and result primarily from fluctuations in advertising
expenditures by local retailers. Paxson Radio and Paxson Network-Affiliated
Television generally experience their lowest revenue for the year in the first
quarter, whereas the highest revenue for the year generally occurs in the fourth
fiscal quarter. Because of the short operating history, the Company's ability to
assess the effects of seasonality on inTV is limited. It appears, however, that
inTV may experience its highest revenues during the first and fourth quarters.
 
PATENTS AND TRADEMARKS
 
     The Company has 21 registered trademarks and 11 trademark registrations
pending relating to its business. It does not own any patents or patent
applications. The Company does not believe that any of its trademarks are
material to its business or operations.
 
PROPERTIES AND FACILITIES
 
     The following table sets forth information with respect to the Company's

(1) All options granted to the named executive officers were granted pursuant to
    the Stock Incentive Plan. The options were granted pursuant to a five year
    vesting schedule retroactive to the executive's date of employment. All
    options are for Class A Common Stock.
(2) Potential realizable value is based on the assumed growth rates for the
    option term. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend
    on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the
    option is exercised, therefore, there is no assurance the value realized by
    an executive will be at or near the amounts reflected in this table.

STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
 
     The Company established the Company's Stock Incentive Plan (the "Stock
Incentive Plan") in November 1994 to provide incentives to officers and other
employees who contribute significantly to the strategic and long-term
performance objectives and growth of the Company. The Stock Incentive Plan is
administered by the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors.
 
     The Stock Incentive Plan provides for the issuance of options, in the form
of incentive stock options or non-qualified stock options, to officers and
employees selected by the Compensation Committee. Under the Stock Incentive
Plan, options exercisable for an aggregate amount of 2,143,575 shares of Class A
Common Stock are available for issuance. The Company intends to either amend the
Stock Incentive Plan or create an additional stock incentive plan to increase
the number of shares available for options to 4,143,575, subject to approval by
the Company's stockholders at the 1996 Annual Meeting. The exercise price per
share of Class A Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of each stock option
is determined by the Compensation
 
                                       62
<PAGE>   69
 
Committee at the date the stock option is granted and as provided in the terms
of the Stock Incentive Plan. Stock options are exercisable in whole or in part
on such date or dates as are determined by the Compensation Committee at the
date of the grant. The Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion,
accelerate the time at which any stock option may be exercised. Stock options
expire on the date or dates determined by the Compensation Committee at the time
the stock options are granted. Holders of more than 10% of the combined voting
power of the capital stock of the Company may be granted stock options, provided
that the exercise price be 110% of the fair market value of Class A Common Stock
as of the date of the grant, and provided that the term of the stock option
shall not exceed five years after the date of the grant.
 
     Stock options granted under the Stock Incentive Plan may be exercised by
the participant to whom granted or by his or her legal representative. If a
Stock Incentive Plan participant's employment is terminated for cause, each
stock option which has not been exercised shall terminate.
 
     The Compensation Committee also has the discretion to award restricted
stock. Participants who receive restricted stock do not become 100% vested in
their restricted stock until five years after the effective date of the award.
During the restricted period prior to vesting, the participant may transfer the
restricted stock to a trust for the benefit of the participant or an immediate
family member, but may not otherwise sell, assign, transfer, give or otherwise
dispose of, mortgage, pledge or encumber such restricted stock. The Compensation
Committee may, in its discretion, provide that a participant shall be vested in
whole or with respect to any portion of the participant's award not previously
vested if the participant's employment with the Company is terminated because of
death, disability or retirement.
 
PROFIT SHARING PLAN
 
     The Company has a profit sharing plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal
Revenue Code (the "Profit Sharing Plan"). The Profit Sharing Plan provides that
employees of the Company must complete one year of service in order to be
eligible to defer salary and, if available, receive matching contributions under
the Section 401(k) portion of the Profit Sharing Plan. Participants may elect to
defer a specified percentage of their compensation into the Profit Sharing Plan
on a pre-tax basis. The Company may, at its sole discretion, make matching
contributions based on a percentage of deferred salary contributions at a
percentage rate to be determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, which
matching contributions may be in Company stock. In addition, the Company may
make supplemental profit sharing contributions in such amounts as the Board of
Directors of the Company may determine. Participants earn a vested right to
their profit sharing contribution in increasing amounts over a period of five
years. After five years of service, the participant's right to his or her profit
sharing contribution vests 100%. Thereafter the participant may receive a
distribution of the entire value of his or her account at age 55, 62 or 65 or
upon termination of employment, death or disability.
 
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     Mr. Paxson is employed as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the
Company under an employment agreement. The agreement provides that Mr. Paxson
will be employed for a five and one-half year period commencing on June 30,
1994, unless sooner terminated. Mr. Paxson began receiving an annual base salary
of $350,000 commencing on January 1, 1995. Mr. Paxson's salary will be $385,000
in 1996, $423,500 in 1997, $465,850 in 1998 and $500,000 in 1999. In addition to
the base salary, Mr. Paxson may receive an annual bonus at the discretion and in
an amount set by members of the Compensation Committee that are not employees of
the Company. Mr. Paxson's employment agreement is renewable for successive
one-year terms, subject to good faith negotiation of its terms. Under the terms
of the agreement, Mr. Paxson is eligible to participate in all employee benefit
plans and arrangements that are generally available to other senior executives,
and is entitled to vacation days in an amount determined annually by the Board
of Directors after good faith negotiation. Mr. Paxson is reimbursed for all
reasonable expenses incurred by him in the discharge of his duties, including
entertainment and travel. Mr. Paxson's employment agreement is terminable by the
Board of Directors before expiration for good cause, as defined in the
agreement, or by Mr. Paxson for good reason, as defined in the agreement. In the
event of Mr. Paxson's permanent disability or death, the Company will pay Mr.
Paxson, or his estate, as the case may be, his then existing salary for the
remaining term of the agreement, in the case of disability, or one year, in the
case of death.
 
                                       63
<PAGE>   70
 
     In addition, Mr. Paxson is a party to a noncompete agreement with the
Company for a period ending on December 31, 1999 or the date of a change of
control (as defined with respect thereto) of the Company. See "Certain
Transactions -- Home Shopping Network, Inc."
 
                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS
 
     Mr. Paxson is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
Messrs. Marocco and Kornreich are directors of the Company and principals of the
Sandler Partnerships, which are significant stockholders of the Company. See
"Principal and Selling Stockholders." Mr. Michaels is a director of the Company
and the owner of CEA. Mr. Scott is a director of the Company and provides it
certain consulting services. Set forth below is a description of certain
transactions and relationships between Mr. Paxson, his affiliates and others and
the Company, between the Sandler Partnerships and the Company, CEA and the
Company and Mr. Scott and the Company.
 
     WFCT-TV Transactions.  On December 17, 1993, BBTC entered into an agreement
whereby CNI, a Section 501(c)(3) Florida non-profit corporation to which Mr.
Paxson was a substantial contributor and of which he was a director, would make
available to BBTC up to $3,120,000 for certain expenses in connection with the
redemption of a limited partnership interest in BBTC and the construction of
television station WFCT-TV, Bradenton, Florida (the "BBTC Loan Agreement"). In
connection with the loan, BBTC granted to CNI an irrevocable, exclusive option
to purchase the assets owned by BBTC that are used or useful in the construction
or operation of WFCT-TV, including the licenses issued by the FCC for WFCT-TV,
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the receipt of necessary
regulatory approvals. CNI's option may be exercised, subject to the prior
approval of the FCC, at any time during the 10-year period beginning August 2,
1995. The price payable to BBTC upon exercise of the option is $91,000 in cash
and the forgiveness of all outstanding indebtedness under the BBTC Loan
Agreement, in the amount of $1,120,000 as of December 31, 1995. WFCT-TV
commenced broadcasting operations on August 1, 1994.
 
     BBTC also entered into an agreement with a wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company as of December 17, 1993, under which the Company provides certain
specified services relating to the construction and installation of WFCT-TV
facilities. Pursuant to a time brokerage agreement, BBTC makes air-time
available to CNI on WFCT-TV. In exchange for certain specified payments, BBTC
has broadcast programming and commercial announcements produced by CNI.
 
     In connection with the foregoing transactions, Mr. Paxson agreed to lend
CNI up to $3,120,000 to fund the loan to BBTC. On June 15, 1994, CNI and BBTC
revised the BBTC Loan Agreement to reduce the maximum amount of the loan from
$3,120,000 to $1,400,000, and to provide that BBTC lease rather than purchase
the equipment and related tangible personal property required to construct
WFCT-TV from the Company.
 
     Mr. Paxson assigned his rights and interests in the CNI loan to the Company
in the amount of $1,120,000 (representing the then outstanding principal balance
owed by CNI), and CNI agreed that the maximum principal amount of the loan would
be reduced from $3,120,000 to $1,400,000. On June 15, 1994, CNI granted the
Company the option to acquire the WFCT-TV assets from CNI for $191,000 after CNI
exercises its option to purchase such assets from BBTC. On June 15, 1994, CNI
assigned to the Company its rights and interests under the time brokerage
agreement to provide up to 12 hours per day of programming on WFCT-TV. In
connection with the exercise of the Station Options, the Company exercised the
option to acquire the WFCT-TV assets.
 
     Worship Channel Studio.  On January 1, 1993, Mr. Paxson agreed to lend CNI
up to $2,500,000 to fund CNI's acquisition of certain equipment and related
tangible property used in the production of television programming. Mr. Paxson
assigned his rights and interests under the loan to the Company in consideration
for the Company's promissory note in the principal amount of $2,500,000, which
the Company subsequently repaid. In accordance with the terms of an agreement
dated as of June 15, 1994, CNI sold to the Company CNI's production assets in
consideration for the cancellation of CNI's $2,500,000 promissory note held by
the Company. CNI and the Company have also contracted, effective as of August 1,
1994, for the Company to
 
                                       64
<PAGE>   71
 
lease CNI's television production and distribution facility for the purpose of
producing television programming for the Infomall TV Network.
 
     Christian Network, Inc.  The Company and CNI entered into an agreement in
May 1994 (the "CNI Agreement") under which the Company agreed that, if the tax
exempt status of CNI were jeopardized by virtue of its relationships with the
Company and its subsidiaries, the Company would take certain actions to try and
ensure that CNI's tax exempt status would no longer be so jeopardized. Such
steps could include, but not be limited to, rescission of one or more
transactions or payment of additional funds by the Company. The Company believes
that all of its agreements with CNI have been on terms at least as favorable to
CNI as it would obtain in arm's length transactions. The Company intends any
future agreements with CNI to be at least as favorable to CNI as CNI would
obtain in arm's length transactions. Accordingly, if the Company's activities
with CNI are consistent with the terms governing their relationship, the Company
believes that it will not be required to take any action under the CNI
Agreement. However, there can be no assurance that the Company will not be
required to take any actions under the CNI Agreement at a material cost to the
Company. At December 31, 1995, the Company had made loans to CNI and its
subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of $16.5 million to finance station
acquisitions and related capital expenditures.
 
     Stockholders Agreement.  On December 15, 1993, in connection with the
issuance of the Company's Initial Senior Preferred Stock (as defined herein) and
warrants to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock,
the Company entered into a stockholders agreement with two entities controlled
by Lowell W. Paxson (collectively, "Management Investors"), and the four
purchasers of the Initial Senior Preferred Stock (the "Sandler Group"), three of
which are affiliates of Michael J. Marocco and John A. Kornreich, two directors
of the Company. On December 22, 1994, in connection with the issuance of the
Junior Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock (as defined herein), the
purchasers of the Junior Preferred Stock and warrants to purchase Class C Common
Stock became parties to the stockholders agreement, which was amended and
restated (as amended, the "Stockholders Agreement"). At the same time, the
Sandler Group entered into an exchange agreement and consent with the Company
under which certain call rights with respect to warrants held by the Sandler
Group were terminated effective upon consummation of this Offering, the parties
to the Stockholders Agreement further modified such agreement and the Sandler
Group exercised certain of their warrants and exchanged them for the Series B
Preferred Stock. The parties to the Stockholders Agreement further amended
certain provisions thereof on March   , 1996 in anticipation of, and primarily
conditioned upon the consummation of, the Offering. Such agreement, among other
things, terminated the right of the holders of the Class A and Class B warrants
("Warrant Shares") to put such Warrant Shares to the Company, eliminated certain
rights of the Sandler Group to approve certain investments by the Company,
permitted the Company to redeem the Senior Preferred Stock on or after December
15, 1996 (a year earlier than previously) at a price of 105% of the liquidation
price thereof, permitted the Company to issue 2,000,000 additional shares of
stock (or options to purchase the same), permitted the Company to issue 125,000
shares of Common Stock (or options to purchase the same) at an exercise price of
$3.42 per share, deleted certain restrictions on the Company's ability to
acquire businesses in consideration for stock of the Company and modified
certain rights of the parties to register Common Stock of the Company. The
ownership interests of the Sandler Group in the Initial Senior Preferred Stock
and Series B Preferred Stock are identical. The rights of the holders of Senior
Preferred Stock and the Junior Preferred Stock differ in certain respects under
the Stockholders Agreement.
 
     Under the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, each holder of Senior
Preferred Stock has redemption rights that can be triggered by a change of
control (as defined with respect thereto) of the Company, by certain
bankruptcy-related events or any failure to select a successor to Mr. Paxson as
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in accordance with the succession
provisions contained in the Stockholders Agreement. In addition, subject to
certain limitations and only after December 15, 1999, each holder of Senior
Preferred Stock has the right to require that any shares of Senior Preferred
Stock held by such holder be purchased for cash by the Company.
 
     If a holder of Senior Preferred Stock chooses to exercise its put or
similar rights with respect to Senior Preferred Stock or Warrant Shares and the
Company is unable to purchase all of the shares on the applicable purchase date
because of a material contractual obligation that prohibits such a repurchase,
the Company is
 
                                       65
<PAGE>   72
 
required to take reasonable actions to enable the Company to purchase the
securities subject to the put notice, and is required to engage a nationally
recognized investment banking firm in order to advise and assist the Company in
connection with such actions.
 
     The Stockholders Agreement also grants to each holder of Senior Preferred
Stock and each holder of Junior Preferred Stock the right of first refusal to
purchase, subject to certain conditions, its pro rata share of any new
securities the Company may issue. The Company must give each holder of Senior
Preferred Stock and each holder of Junior Preferred Stock written notice of the
Company's intention to issue certain new securities. Such holders have waived
any right of first refusal to purchase any of the shares of Class A Common Stock
offered hereby. The parties to the Stockholders Agreement have certain
registration rights granted therein. See "Shares Eligible For Future
Sale -- Registration Rights."
 
     Airplane.  During 1994, the Company purchased an aircraft for $250,000 from
a company controlled by Mr. Paxson. The Company believes that the terms of such
transaction were at least as favorable as it would have obtained in an arm's
length transaction with an unaffiliated third party.
 
     Home Shopping Network, Inc.  In connection with the departure in 1990 of
Mr. Paxson from HSN, he executed a consulting agreement containing various
restrictions upon activities by him that might be considered competitive with
HSN, including activities as an investor in competitive and other enterprises.
Although Mr. Paxson's consulting services to HSN terminated in 1994, certain of
the restrictions survived. As the Company's business evolved, the possible
effect of the consulting agreement upon Mr. Paxson's role as the Company's chief
executive officer and controlling stockholder became unclear. The Company
considered it advisable to eliminate doubts concerning, among other matters, Mr.
Paxson's role as a chief executive officer and controlling stockholder as the
Company's business developed, and the scope of HSN's rights under the consulting
agreement. Accordingly, on August 25, 1995, the Company and Mr. Paxson agreed
with HSN to, among other things, terminate HSN's rights under the consulting
agreement in consideration of a payment to HSN by the Company of $1,200,000. In
conjunction with this transaction Mr. Paxson advanced $1,200,000 to the Company
in the form of a note bearing interest at 6%. The Company repaid the note in
October 1995.
 
     Shortly before the transaction with HSN, Mr. Paxson agreed with the Company
that upon termination of HSN's rights under the consulting agreement, he will
not compete with the Company for a period ending on December 31, 1999 (the date
that the HSN consulting agreement would have otherwise terminated) or the date
of a change of control (as defined with respect thereto) of the Company. An
intangible asset has been recorded for $1,200,000 which will be amortized
through maturity of the agreement.
 
     Todd Communications, Inc.  In 1993, Mr. Paxson contributed a demand note
receivable in the amount of $1,750,000 from Todd Communications, Inc., a company
which owns WFSJ-FM (St. Augustine, Florida) and is beneficially owned by a
member of Mr. Paxson's family. The note receivable accrues interest at the
short-term annual applicable federal rate prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service with the balance of principal and interest due upon demand. The Company
also performs limited sales support and administrative functions for Todd
Communications, Inc., under a joint sales agreement. Todd Communications, Inc.
is billed for efforts expended on terms comparable to those generally available
from unaffiliated third parties. Todd Communications also has a note outstanding
to Mr. Paxson in the principal amount of $1,550,000. The Company has agreed to
acquire Todd Communications for aggregate consideration of $5 million,
consisting of the cancellation of Todd's note held by the Company in the
principal amount of $1,750,000, assumption and immediate repayment by the
Company of the note to Mr. Paxson and the issuance of shares of Class A Common
Stock valued at $1.7 million.
 
   
     Whitehead Media.  The Company initially financed the acquisition by
Whitehead Media of each of WTVX-TV and WOAC-TV. Whitehead Media subsequently
obtained refinancing from Banque Paribas, an affiliate of a holder of the
Company's Junior Preferred Stock and warrants to acquire Class C Common Stock,
and Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, an affiliate of one of the U.S.
Underwriters and one of the Lead Managers, the proceeds of which were used to
repay the debt owed by Whitehead Media to the Company and will be used to fund
Whitehead Media's acquisition of WNGM-TV. The third party financing provided to
Whitehead Media is unconditionally guaranteed by Mr. Paxson and Second Crystal
Diamond, Limited Partnership ("Second Crystal"), an affiliate controlled by Mr.
Paxson and through which he beneficially owns
    
 
                                       66

and controls a substantial portion of the Company's Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock. Such guarantees are secured by a pledge of a significant
portion of Second Crystal's Class A Common Stock. The Company is permitted to
operate stations WTVX-TV and WOAC-TV pursuant to time brokerage agreements and
as a result of the third party financing to Whitehead Media has an option to
purchase each of such stations, which options to purchase would otherwise be
prohibited under FCC rules and regulations because each of such stations serves
a market in which the Company has or will own another television station which
also serves the same market.
 
     KLDT-TV.  In connection with CNI securing the rights to acquire television
station KLDT-TV in Dallas, Texas and, prior to such acquisition, operate the
station pursuant to a time brokerage agreement, Mr. Paxson initially loaned CNI
$1,000,000 to make a deposit with respect to such acquisition and guaranteed the
obligations of CNI under the purchase agreement and the time brokerage
agreement. On January 9, 1996, the Company purchased such note from Mr. Paxson
at its face value.
 
     World Travelers Network.  Effective January 1, 1996, Mr. Paxson purchased
certain assets of World Travelers Network, Inc. ("WTN"), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company. WTN's business was unprofitable and the Company had
determined to discontinue its operations. Mr. Paxson purchased all of the assets
of WTN except for its accounts receivable for $70,322 in cash, which price was
equal to the book value of such assets. WTN retained its accounts receivable and
accounts payable. The parties agreed that if Mr. Paxson resells such assets at a
profit prior to April 1, 1996, the amount of any profit will be paid to the
Company.
 
     South Carolina Radio Network.  Effective January 1, 1996, Mr. Paxson
purchased from the Company certain assets of the Company's South Carolina Radio
Network, an unprofitable business segment which the Company had determined to
discontinue. Mr. Paxson purchased all of the assets of the South Carolina Radio
Network other than cash and accounts receivable for $45,413 in cash paid to the
Company, which price was equal to the book value of such assets. The Company
retained the cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable of the South
Carolina Radio Network operation. The parties agreed that if Mr. Paxson resold
such assets at a profit prior to April 1, 1996, the amount of any profit would
be paid to the Company. Mr. Paxson subsequently sold such assets to a third
party for $150,000, with the excess over $45,413 being paid to the Company.
 
     Transfer of Partnership Interest.  On January 26, 1996, the Company
acquired certain interests in a partnership with a view to securing programming
for its broadcast stations, and substantially concurrently with its acquisition,
transferred a portion of its interest to Mr. Paxson for approximately $900,000,
which amount equalled the consideration paid by the Company for its interests in
the partnership.
 
     Communications Equity Associates, Inc.  J. Patrick Michaels, Jr. is
Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of CEA. Prior to his becoming
a Director in February 1995, the Company engaged CEA as a financial advisor in
connection with the private placements of the Senior Preferred Stock and Junior
Preferred Stock and the Private Offering, as well as with the Company's various
lending relationships. In connection with such matters, management of the
Company believes that its arrangements with CEA have been, and will continue to
be, on terms comparable to those generally available from unaffiliated third
parties.
 
     S. William Scott, Consulting.  S. William Scott has an arrangement with the
Company pursuant to which he provides consulting services to the Company with
respect to the development of its news programming for its radio and television
broadcast business and its radio network business. During 1993, 1994 and 1995,
Mr. Scott was paid $84,000, $84,000 and $80,000 respectively, for such services.
Mr. Scott has been providing such services since before he became a Director.

     person. This table does not include 4,853,628 shares of non-voting Class C
     Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of warrants. In addition, for
     purposes of this table, beneficial ownership does not include the number of

GENERAL
 
   
     The Company's capital stock consists of 197,500,000 shares of common stock
with a par value of $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock
with a par value of $.001 per share. Of the 197,500,000 shares of common stock

Preferred Stock (the "Initial Senior Preferred Stock"), (b) 714.286 shares have

Stock (the "Series B Preferred Stock," and with the Initial Senior Preferred

been designated as Junior Cumulative Compounding Redeemable Preferred Stock (the

COMMON STOCK
 
     Dividends.  Subject to the Preferred Stock's prior right to dividends,
holders of record of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and
Class C Common Stock on the record date are entitled to receive such dividends
as may be declared by the Company's board of directors out of funds legally
available for such purpose. No dividends may be declared or paid in cash or
property on any share of any class of the Common Stock, however, unless
simultaneously the same dividend is declared or paid on each share of the other
classes of Common Stock. In the case of any stock dividend, holders of Class A
Common Stock are entitled to receive the same percentage dividend (payable in
shares of Class A Common Stock) as holders of Class B Common Stock receive
(payable in shares of Class B Common Stock) and holders of Class C Common Stock
receive (payable in shares of Class C Common Stock).
 
                                       69
<PAGE>   76
 
     Until December 15, 1998, the consent of the holders of a majority of the
outstanding shares of the Initial Senior Preferred Stock and of the Series B
Preferred Stock is required for the Company to declare any dividends on its
Common Stock; and thereafter, such consent will continue to be required as long
as any Senior Preferred Stock remains outstanding, except under certain limited
circumstances. In addition, as long as any Junior Preferred Stock is
outstanding, the Company cannot declare dividends on its Common Stock, except
under certain limited circumstances.
 
     Voting Rights.  Holders of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock will vote as a single class on all matters submitted to a vote of
the stockholders of the Company, with each share of Class A Common Stock
entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to ten
votes, except as otherwise provided by law. Holders of Class C Common Stock have
no right to vote on any matter voted on by the stockholders of the Company,
except as may be provided by law or as provided in limited circumstances in the
Company's certificate of incorporation.
 
     Liquidation Rights.  Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the
Company, the holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to share pro rata with
holders of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common Stock in all assets available
for distribution after payment in full to creditors and payment in full to any
holders of Preferred Stock then outstanding of any amount required to be paid
under the terms of such Preferred Stock.
 
   
     Other Provisions.  Each share of Class B Common Stock and Class C Common
Stock is generally convertible or exchangeable at the option of its holder into
one share of Class A Common Stock at any time, subject to certain restrictions
in the case of the conversion or exchange of Class C Common Stock. Holders of
Common Stock do not have preemptive rights, although holders of Senior Preferred
Stock and holders of Junior Preferred Stock have limited preemptive rights under
the Stockholders Agreement.
    
 
SENIOR PREFERRED STOCK
 
     Dividends.  The holders of the Senior Preferred Stock are entitled under
the Company's certificate of incorporation to cumulative dividends on a basis
preferential to the holders of Common Stock and the holders of Junior Preferred
Stock. From their respective dates of issue through December 15, 2000, the
holders of Senior Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive cumulative
dividends from the Company on each share of Senior Preferred Stock at the per
annum rate of 15% of the Liquidation Price of such share. The Liquidation Price
for each share of Senior Preferred Stock is defined as the sum of $7,000 plus
all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect to such share. Accrued dividends
on the Senior Preferred Stock are payable semiannually to the holders of record
of the Senior Preferred Stock as of the close of business on the applicable
record date. The Company has the option to defer the payment of accrued
dividends until the Senior Preferred Stock is redeemed. On January 1 and July 1
of each year, all dividends that have accrued on each share of Senior Preferred
Stock and that have not theretofore been accumulated shall, to the extent not
paid for any reason, be accumulated, and dividends will accrue on such
accumulation until such accumulated dividends are paid. As of December 31, 1995,
the Company has not paid any cash dividends on the Senior Preferred Stock, and
there are $5,415,621 in accrued and unpaid dividends on the Senior Preferred
Stock.
 
     Voting Rights.  The affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of each class of Senior Preferred Stock is
required in order for the Company to take the following actions: amend, alter or
repeal any of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or any
resolution of the Company's board of directors or any other instrument
establishing and designating the Senior Preferred Stock or any other capital
stock of the Company so as to adversely affect the rights, privileges,
preferences or powers of the Senior Preferred Stock; create or designate any
stock on a parity with or senior to the Senior Preferred Stock; enter into an
agreement that would prevent the Company from performing its obligations with
respect to the Senior Preferred Stock; or pay dividends to the holders of, or
redeem, securities of the Company or its subsidiaries junior to the Senior
Preferred Stock, except as specifically provided therein.
 
     Liquidation Rights.  Upon liquidation, dissolution, or winding-up of the
Company, the holders of Senior Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference of
$7,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, over all classes and series
of junior stock, including the Junior Preferred Stock, Class A Common Stock,
Class B
 
                                       70

Common Stock, and Class C Common Stock, with respect to the assets available for
distribution after payment in full of creditors.
 
   
     Redemption Rights.  All the shares of Senior Preferred Stock are redeemable
on or after December 15, 1996, at the option of the Company, in whole at any
time, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Price for such shares, plus
the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon, as of the redemption
date, (plus a premium if such redemption occurs prior to December 15, 1997)
payable in cash. The Company is obligated to redeem on December 15, 2000, out of
unrestricted funds legally available therefor, all the shares of the Senior
Preferred Stock then outstanding, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation
Price for such shares, plus the amount of all unpaid dividends thereon, as of
the redemption date, payable in cash. Holders of shares of the Senior Preferred
Stock are entitled to require the Company to redeem their shares of Senior
Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of the bankruptcy or similar event by the
Company.
    
 
JUNIOR PREFERRED STOCK
 
   
     Dividends.  The holders of the Junior Preferred Stock are entitled under
the Company's certificate of incorporation to cumulative dividends on a basis
preferential to the holders of Common Stock, but subordinate to the holders of
Senior Preferred Stock. Until December 22, 2001, the holders of Junior Preferred
Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends from the Company on each
share of Junior Preferred Stock at the per annum rate of 12% of the Liquidation
Price of such share ($1,000) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends with respect
to such share. For each year thereafter, the per annum rate shall increase by
1%. In addition, the dividend rate may be substantially increased under certain
circumstances, such as a change in control of the Company, the incurrence of
certain indebtedness, the failure to pay dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock
under certain circumstances and the failure to redeem the Junior Preferred Stock
prior to December 23, 2003. Accrued dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock are
payable semi-annually to the holders of record of the Junior Preferred Stock as
of the close of business on the applicable record date. Until December 22, 1999,
the Company has the option to defer the payment of accrued dividends until the
Junior Preferred Stock is redeemed. On January 1 and July 1 of each year, all
dividends that have accrued on each share of Junior Preferred Stock and that
have not theretofore been accumulated shall, to the extent not paid for any
reason, be accumulated, and dividends will accrue on such accumulation until
such accumulated dividends are paid. As of December 31, 1995, the Company has
not paid any cash dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock, and there were
$4,188,512 in accrued and unpaid dividends on the Junior Preferred Stock.
Holders of Junior Preferred Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends until
the full amount of accrued and unpaid dividends to which holders of Senior
Preferred Stock are entitled are paid.
    
 
     Voting Rights.  The affirmative vote or written consent of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding shares of Junior Preferred Stock is required in
order for the Company to take the following actions: amend, alter or repeal any
of the provisions of the certificate of incorporation or any resolution of the
Company's board of directors or any other instrument establishing and
designating the Junior Preferred Stock or any other capital stock of the Company
so as to adversely affect the rights, privileges, preferences or powers of the
Junior Preferred Stock; create or designate any stock on a parity with or senior
to the Junior Preferred Stock; enter into an agreement that would prevent the
Company from performing its obligations with respect to the Junior Preferred
Stock; or pay dividends to the holders of, or redeem, securities of the Company
or its subsidiaries junior to the Junior Preferred Stock, except as specifically
provided therein.
 
     Liquidation Rights.  Upon liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the
Company, the holders of Junior Preferred Stock are entitled to a preference of
$1,000 per share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends, over all classes and series
of junior stock, including the Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock, and
Class C Common Stock, with respect to the assets available for distribution
after payment in full of creditors, but the rights of holders of Junior
Preferred Stock are subordinate in all such respects to those of holders of
Senior Preferred Stock.
 
   
     Redemption Rights.  Subject to the rights of the Senior Preferred Stock,
all the shares of Junior Preferred Stock are redeemable, at the option of the
Company, in whole at any time, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation
Price for such shares, plus the amount of all accrued and unpaid dividends
thereon, as
    
 
                                       71
<PAGE>   78
 
   
of the redemption date, payable in cash. Subject to the rights of the Senior
Preferred Stock, the Company is obligated to redeem on December 22, 2003, out of
unrestricted funds legally available therefor, all the shares of the Junior
Preferred Stock then outstanding, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation
Price for such shares, as of the redemption date (plus a declining premium if
redeemed prior to December 22, 1998), plus the amount of all accrued and unpaid
dividends thereon, payable in cash. Holders of shares of the Junior Preferred
Stock are entitled to require the Company to redeem their shares of Junior
Preferred Stock upon the occurrence of a bankruptcy or similar event relating to
the Company or the default by the Company under the terms of the Stockholders
Agreement.
    
 
WARRANTS
 
     In connection with the issuance of the Initial Senior Preferred Stock, the
Company entered into a warrant agreement pursuant to which the Company issued to
the holders of the Initial Preferred Stock warrants entitling the holders
thereof to purchase shares of common stock of the Company. The warrant agreement
was subsequently amended and certain warrants were cancelled in exchange for the
issuance of the Series B Preferred Stock to the holders thereof. As of February
29, 1996, holders of such warrants are entitled to purchase for a nominal
exercise price 2,709,129 (2,441,379 after the Offering) shares of Class A Common
Stock and 903,043 (813,793 after the Offering) shares of Class B Common Stock.
The holders of such warrants are entitled to notice of the consolidation,
merger, or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company, a
reclassification of, tender offer or exchange offer for, Class A Common Stock
and Class B Common Stock, a granting by the Company of subscription rights to
the holders of Common Stock, or the voluntary or involuntary dissolution,
liquidation or winding up of the Company. In addition, the holders of such
warrants have certain anti-dilution protections that provide for, among other
things, an increase in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
Common Stock for which each such warrant is exercisable in the event of certain
issuances of shares of Common Stock by the Company at less than fair market
value.
 
   
     In connection with the issuance of the Junior Preferred Stock, the Company
entered into a separate warrant agreement pursuant to which the Company issued
to such holders of Junior Preferred Stock warrants currently entitling the
holders thereof to purchase for a nominal exercise price 4,853,628 shares of
Class C Common Stock. The holders of such warrants are entitled to notice of the
consolidation, merger or sale of substantially all of the assets of the Company,
a reclassification of, tender offer or exchange offer for, Common Stock, a
granting by the Company of subscription rights to the holders of Common Stock,
or the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the
Company. The holders of such warrants have certain anti-dilution protections
that provide for, among other things, an increase in the number of shares of
Class C Common Stock for which each such warrant is exercisable in the event of
certain issuances of shares of Common Stock by the Company at less than fair
market value. In addition, the Company has agreed under certain circumstances to
permit the holders of shares of Class C Common Stock that are issued upon the
exercise of such warrants to exchange such shares for a like number of shares of
Class A Common Stock.
    
 
CERTAIN PROVISIONS OF THE COMPANY'S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION AND BYLAWS
 
     General.  The provisions of the certificate of incorporation (the
"Certificate of Incorporation") and bylaws (the "Bylaws") and the Delaware
statutory law described in this section may delay or make more difficult
acquisitions or changes of control of the Company that are not approved by the
Company's board of directors.
 
     Advance Notice for Raising Business or Making Nominations at Meetings.  The
Bylaws establish an advance notice procedure for stockholder proposals to be
brought before a meeting of stockholders of the Company and for nominations by
stockholders of candidates for election as directors at an annual meeting or a
special meeting at which directors are to be elected. Subject to any other
applicable requirements, only such business may be conducted at a meeting of
stockholders as has been brought before the meeting by, or at the direction of,
the Company's board of directors, or by a stockholder who has given to the
Secretary of the Company timely written notice, in proper form, of the
stockholder's intention to bring that business before the meeting. The presiding
officer at such meeting has the authority to make such determinations. Only
persons
 
                                       72
<PAGE>   79
 
who are nominated by a stockholder who has given timely written notice, in
proper form, to the Secretary prior to a meeting at which directors are to be
elected will be eligible for election as directors of the Company.
 
     To be timely, notice of nominations or other business to be brought before
any meeting must be received by the Secretary of the Company not later than 120
days in advance of the anniversary date of the Company's proxy statement for the
previous year's annual meeting or, in the case of special meetings or the
Company's 1996 annual meeting of stockholders, at the close of business on the
seventh day following the date on which notice of such meeting is first given to
stockholders.
 
     The notice of any stockholder proposal or nomination for election as a
director must set forth the information required under the Bylaws. The person
submitting the notice of nomination and any person acting in concert with such
person, must provide their names and business addresses, the name and address
under which they appear on the Company's books (if they so appear) and the class
and number of shares of the Company's capital stock that are beneficially owned
by them.
 
     Preferred Stock and Additional Common Stock.  Under the Certificate of
Incorporation, the Company's board of directors has the authority to provide by
board resolution for the issuance of shares of one or more series of preferred
stock. The Company's board of directors is authorized to fix by resolution the
terms and conditions of each such other series. See "General."
 
     The Company believes that the availability of additional preferred stock,
issuable in series, and additional shares of the Common Stock could facilitate
certain financings and acquisitions and provide a means for meeting other
corporate needs that might arise. The authorized shares of preferred stock, as
well as authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, will be available for
issuance without further action by the Company's stockholders, unless
stockholder action is required by applicable law or the rules of any stock
exchange on which any series of the Company's stock may then be listed.
 
     These provisions give the Company's board of directors the power to approve
the issuance of a series of preferred stock, or additional shares of Common
Stock, that could, depending on its terms, either impede or facilitate the
completion of a merger, tender offer or other takeover attempt.
 
     Limitation of Liability and Indemnification.  As permitted by the Delaware
General Corporation Law, the Company's Certificate of Incorporation provides
that directors of the Company shall not be personally liable to the Company or
its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of
loyalty to the Company or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in
good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of
law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law or (iv) for
any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal benefit. In
addition, the Company's Bylaws provide that the Company shall, to the fullest
extent authorized by Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as
amended from time to time, indemnify all director and officers and all persons
serving at the request of the company as director, trustee, officer, employee or
agent of another corporation or of a partnership, trust or other enterprise.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may
be permitted to directors, officers or persons controlling the Company pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, the Company has been informed that, in the opinion
of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and, therefore, is unenforceable.
 
     Delaware Business Combination Statute.  Section 203 of the Delaware General
Corporation Law (Section 203) provides that, subject to certain exceptions
specified therein, an interested stockholder of a Delaware corporation shall not
engage in any business combination with the corporation for a three-year period
following the date that such stockholder becomes an interested stockholder
unless (i) prior to such date, the board of directors of the corporation
approved either the business combination or the transaction which resulted in
the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, (ii) upon consummation of
the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested
stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock
of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced (excluding
certain shares) or (iii) on or subsequent to such date, the business combination
is approved by the board of directors of the corporation and authorized at an
annual or special meeting of stockholders by the
 
                                       73
<PAGE>   80
 
affirmative vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is
not owned by the interested stockholder. Except as otherwise specified in
Section 203, an interested stockholder is defined to include (x) any person that
is the owner of 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation,
or is an affiliate or associate of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or
more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation at any time within three
years immediately prior to the relevant date and (y) the affiliates and
associates of any such person.
 
     Under certain circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for a
person who would be an interested stockholder to effect various business
combinations with a corporation for a three-year period, although the
stockholders may elect to exclude a corporation from the restrictions imposed
thereunder. The certificate of incorporation does not exclude the Company from
the restrictions imposed under Section 203. The provisions of Section 203 may
encourage companies interested in acquiring the Company to negotiate in advance
with the Company's board of directors because the stockholder approval
requirement would be avoided if a majority of the directors then in office
approve either the business combination or the transaction which results in the
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder. Such provisions also may have
the effect of preventing changes in the management of the Company. It is
possible that such provisions could make it more difficult to accomplish
transactions which stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best
interests.
 
TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR
 
     The transfer agent and registrar for the Class A Common Stock is First
Union National Bank, Charlotte, North Carolina.
 
                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, the Company will have outstanding
37,396,954 shares of Class A Common Stock (38,778,954 if the Underwriters'
over-allotment option is exercised in full), which gives effect to the issuance
of 843,000 shares upon the exercise of warrants and options (1,657,000 if the
Underwriters' over-allotment option is exercised in full), 8,311,639 shares of
Class B Common Stock and no shares of Class C Common Stock, assuming no further
exercise of outstanding options and warrants. Of these shares, the 11,500,000
shares of Class A Common Stock sold in this Offering and 1,224,268 shares of
Class A Common Stock outstanding prior to this Offering will be freely tradeable
without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act, except
that any shares purchased by the Company's affiliates ("Affiliates"), as that
term is defined in Rule 144 under the Securities Act, may generally only be sold
in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 described below. The remaining
24,672,686 shares of Class A Common Stock and all of the shares of Class B
Common Stock held by existing stockholders upon completion of this offering will
be restricted securities within the meaning of Rule 144 and may not be sold
except in compliance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act or
an applicable exemption under the Securities Act, including an exemption
pursuant to Rule 144.
 
SALES OF RESTRICTED SHARES
 
     Upon completion of the Offering, approximately 24,136,543 shares of Class A
Common Stock and all of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock will be
eligible for sale in the public market pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities
Act. In addition, 536,143 shares of Class A Common Stock will become eligible
for sale at various times in the public market pursuant to Rule 144. In
addition, certain existing holders of (i) 24,136,543 shares of Class A Common
Stock, (ii) warrants exercisable for 2,441,379 additional shares of Class A
Common Stock, (iii) all 8,311,639 shares of the Class B Common Stock (which are
convertible into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock), (iv)
warrants exercisable for 813,793 shares of Class B Common Stock (which are
convertible into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock), and (v)
warrants exercisable for 4,472,628 shares of Class C Common Stock (which are
convertible into the same number of shares of Class A Common Stock), will have
rights to require registration of their shares under certain circumstances.
 
                                       74
<PAGE>   81
 
     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, a person (or persons
whose shares are aggregated), including an Affiliate, who has beneficially owned
shares for at least two years (including the holding period of certain prior
owners), will be entitled to sell in brokers' transactions or to market makers,
within any three-month period commencing 90 days after the Company becomes
subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), a number of shares that does not
exceed the greater of (i) 1% of the then outstanding shares of Class A Common
Stock (a limit of approximately 373,970 shares immediately after the Offering),
or (ii) the average weekly trading volume in the Common Stock during the four
calendar weeks immediately preceding such sale, subject, generally, to the
filing of a Form 144 with respect to such sales and certain other limitations
and restrictions. In addition, a person (or person whose shares are aggregated)
who is not deemed to have been an Affiliate at any time during the 90 days
immediately preceding the sale and who has beneficially owned the shares
proposed to be sold for at least three years, is entitled to sell such shares
under Rule 144(k) without regard to the limitations described above. Further,
Rule 144A under the Securities Act as currently in effect permits the immediate
sale of restricted shares to certain qualified institutional buyers without
regard to the volume restrictions described above. The Commission has proposed
an amendment to Rule 144 which would reduce the holding period required for
shares subject to Rule 144 to become eligible for sale in the public market from
two years to one year, and from three years to two years in the case of Rule
144(k). If this proposal is adopted, additional shares of Class A Common Stock
will become eligible for sale to the public sooner than would be the case under
Rule 144, as currently in effect.
 
OPTIONS
 
     As of December 31, 1995, options to purchase 1,752,405 shares of Class A
Common Stock were outstanding under the Stock Incentive Plan, and 2,053,775
shares of Class A Common Stock were reserved for issuance under the Stock
Incentive Plan. The Company has filed a registration statement on Form S-8 under
the Securities Act with respect to the shares issuable under the Stock Incentive
Plan, and shares of Class A Common Stock issued under the Stock Incentive Plan
are therefore immediately eligible for sale in the public market. Executive
officers of the Company who are included in the Selling Stockholders have agreed
with the Underwriters that shares issuable to them under the Stock Incentive
Plan are subject to a 180-day lock-up period. See "Underwriting."
 
WARRANTS
 
   
     Upon completion of the Offering, there will be outstanding warrants to
purchase 2,441,379 shares of Class A Common Stock (2,184,129 shares if the
Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in full), warrants to purchase
813,793 (728,043 shares if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised
in full), shares of Class B Common Stock and warrants to purchase 4,472,628
(4,106,628 shares if the Underwriter's over-allotment option is exercised in
full), shares of Class C Common Stock. Shares of Class B Common Stock and Class
C Common Stock are convertible to shares of Class A Common Stock at the option
of the holder thereof on a one-for-one basis. The holders of warrants to
purchase Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock may elect, under certain
circumstances, to receive an identical number of shares of Class A Common Stock
in lieu of receiving shares of Class B Common Stock or Class C Common Stock.
Shares issuable pursuant to the exercise of warrants to purchase Class A Common
Stock or Class B Common Stock (including any shares of Class A Common Stock
issued as a result of the exercise of the right of a holder of warrants to
purchase Class B Common Stock to instead receive Class A Common Stock) will upon
issuance be eligible for sale in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144
previously described. Shares of Class A Common Stock that are issuable upon the
exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Class C Common Stock, or the
conversion or exchange of shares of Class C Common Stock which are issuable upon
the exercise of warrants to purchase shares of Class C Common Stock, shall be
eligible for sale in compliance with the limitations of Rule 144 after December
22, 1996. The holders of all of the warrants described above have agreed with
the Underwriters that any shares of Common Stock they may receive upon the
exercise of warrants are subject to a 180-day lock-up. See "Underwriting."

<PAGE>   82
 
REGISTRATION RIGHTS
 
     Pursuant to registration rights granted in the Stockholders Agreement,
certain holders of Senior Preferred Stock may require the Company to register
with the Commission under and in accordance with the Securities Act all or part
of their "Registrable Shares" (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement).
Registrable Shares are defined to include shares issued or issuable as "Warrant
Shares" (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement) (as adjusted for certain
stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and similar events) and any
securities issued to the holders of Senior Preferred Stock pursuant to their
exercise of certain rights of first refusal. The Company is required to
effectuate a demand registration at the request of holders of Senior Preferred
Stock only if (i) it has been requested and consented to by the holders of a
majority of the Registrable Shares held by the holders of Senior Preferred
Stock, and (ii) the shares as to which registration is requested represent at
least 25% of the aggregate Registrable Shares held by holders of Senior
Preferred Stock participating in such registration. Generally, the holders of
Senior Preferred Stock as a group are entitled to three demand registrations.
 
     Pursuant to the registration rights granted in the Stockholders Agreement,
two holders of Junior Preferred Stock each have one demand registration right,
exercisable after six months from the date hereof, to require the Company to
register with the Commission under and in accordance with the Securities Act all
of its Registrable Shares.
 
     Pursuant to the registration rights granted in the Stockholders Agreement,
the Management Investors (which are affiliates of Mr. Paxson) may require the
Company to register with the Commission under and in accordance with the
Securities Act all or part of their respective Registrable Shares. The Company
is required to effectuate a demand registration for the Management Investors
only if (i) it has been requested or consented to by Management Investors
holding a majority of the Registrable Shares held by the Management Investors,
and (ii) the shares as to which registration is requested represent at least 25%
of the aggregate Registrable Shares held by the Management Investors
participating in such registration. Generally, the Management Investors as a
group are entitled to five demand registrations.
 
     If at any time the Company proposes to file on its own behalf or on behalf
of any holder or holders of any equity securities a registration statement under
the Securities Act (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8
or any successor form for the registration of securities to be offered pursuant
to an employee benefit plan), then the Company must give notice to the holders
of Senior Preferred Stock, the holders of Junior Preferred Stock, the Management
Investors and certain other stockholders of their respective rights to include
certain Registrable Shares held by such persons in a piggy-back registration.
The Company has the right to abandon any such registration.
 
     In the case of a demand or certain piggy-back registrations, the Company
will pay all registration expenses except underwriting discounts and commissions
and transfer taxes. In the case of a piggy-back registration, each participating
holder of Senior Preferred Stock or Junior Preferred Stock, each participating
Management Investor and each of certain other participating parties shall pay
its pro rata share of the incremental registration filing fees and shall pay all
fees and disbursements of its counsel (other than a single counsel for certain
holders) incurred in connection therewith.
 
     The registration rights provisions of the Stockholders Agreement allocate
Registrable Shares among participating holders of Senior Preferred Stock,
holders of Junior Stock Preferred Stock and the Management Investors if fewer
than all the requested shares are to be included in a registration statement.
The registration rights of such holders generally have priority over those of
other parties that may have registration rights.

Agreement provides that the obligations of the several U.S. Underwriters and the
several Managers to pay for and accept delivery of the shares are subject to
approval of certain legal matters by counsel and to certain other conditions.
The U.S. Underwriters and the Managers are obligated to take and pay for all
shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby (other than those covered by the
over-allotment option described below) if any such shares are taken.
 
     The U.S. Underwriters and the Managers initially propose to offer part of
the shares of Class A Common Stock directly to the public at the public offering
price set forth on the cover page of this Prospectus and part of the shares to
certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess of $          per
share below the public offering price. The U.S. Underwriters and the Managers
may allow, and such dealers may reallow, a concession not in excess of
$          per share to any other U.S. Underwriter or Manager, respectively, or
to certain other dealers. After the Offering, the public offering price and such
concessions may be changed by the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers.
 
   
     The Company and the Selling Stockholders have granted to the U.S.
Underwriters an option, exercisable within 30 days from the date of this
Prospectus, to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,725,000 additional shares of
Class A Common Stock at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of
this Prospectus less underwriting discounts and commissions. The U.S.
Underwriters and the Managers may exercise such option to purchase additional
shares solely for the purpose of covering over-allotments, if any, incurred in
connection with the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby.
To the extent such option is exercised, each U.S. Underwriter and Manager will
become obligated, subject to certain conditions, to purchase approximately the
same percentage of such additional shares as the number of shares set forth next
to such

U.S. Underwriter's or Manager's name in the preceding tables bears to the total
number of shares in such tables.
    
 
   
     Of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby, 738,000 shares will
be issued by the Company upon the exercise of warrants held by certain Selling
Stockholders. The Underwriters intend to purchase the warrants from such Selling
Stockholders at a price equal to $          per warrant, which represents the
public offering price less the underwriting discounts and commissions and less
the exercise price of the warrants. The warrants have nominal exercise prices
per share, which will be paid to the Company by the Underwriters upon exercise
of the warrants at the closing. The Underwriters will offer the shares issued
upon exercise of the warrants in the same manner as all other shares in the
Offering.
    
 
   
     The Company, the Selling Stockholders, the U.S. Underwriters and the
Managers have agreed to indemnify each other against certain liabilities,
including under the Securities Act.
    
 
   
     The Company, its executive officers and directors, and certain of the
Company's existing stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from
the date of this Prospectus, they will not, without the prior written consent of
Smith Barney Inc., offer, sell, contract to sell, or otherwise dispose of, any
shares of Common Stock of the Company or any securities convertible into, or
exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock of the Company. Such restrictions
shall not apply to certain transfers among such parties and their affiliates or
to the exercise of warrants or conversion or exchange of shares of one class of
Common Stock to another class, as long as the transferred or resulting
securities remain subject to the terms of restriction for the remainder of such
period. In addition, such restrictions shall not apply to shares of Class A
Common Stock issued by the Company with respect to certain of the Proposed
Acquisitions as described herein, nor to certain issuances by the Company with
respect to any other acquisitions, as long as such shares remain subject to the
transfer restrictions for the remainder of such period.
    
 
   
     The U.S. Underwriters and the Managers have entered into an agreement
between U.S. Underwriters and Managers pursuant to which each U.S. Underwriter
has agreed that, as part of the distribution of the 9,200,000 shares of Class A
Common Stock offered in the U.S. Offering (plus any of the shares acquired to
cover over-allotments): (i) it is not purchasing any such shares or warrants (or
shares issuable thereunder) for the account of anyone other than a U.S., or
Canadian Person and (ii) it has not offered or sold, and will not, offer, sell,
resell or deliver, directly or indirectly, any of such shares or distribute any
prospectus relating to the U.S. Offering outside the United States or Canada to
anyone other than a U.S or Canadian Person. In addition, each Manager has agreed
that as part of the distribution of the 2,300,000 shares offered in the
International Offering: (i) it is not purchasing any such shares or warrants (or
shares issuable thereunder) for the account of any U.S. or Canadian Person and
(ii) it has not offered or sold, and will not, offer, sell, resell or deliver,
directly or indirectly, any of such shares or distribute any prospectus relating
to the International Offering in the United States or Canada or to any U.S. or
Canadian Person. Each U.S. Underwriter and Manager has also agreed that it will
offer to sell shares only in compliance with all relevant requirements of any
applicable laws.
    
 
     The foregoing limitations do not apply to stabilization transactions or to
certain other transactions specified in the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, the
International Underwriting Agreement and the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters
and Managers, including: (i) certain purchases and sales between U.S.
Underwriters and the Managers, (ii) certain offers, sales, resales, deliveries
or distributions to or through investment advisors or other persons exercising
investment discretion, (iii) purchases, offers or sales by a U.S. Underwriter
who is also acting as Manager or by a Manager who is also acting as U.S.
Underwriter and (iv) other transactions specifically approved by the
Representatives. As used herein, "U.S. or Canadian Person" means any resident or
national of the United States or Canada, any corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or Canada,
or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to U.S. or Canadian income
taxation regardless of the source of its income (other than the foreign branch
of any U.S. or Canadian Person), and includes any United States or Canadian
branch of a person other than a U.S. or Canadian Person.

     Any offer of shares of Class A Common Stock in Canada will be made only
pursuant to an exemption from the requirement to file a prospectus in the
relevant province of Canada in which such offer is made.
 
   
     Each Manager has represented and agreed that (i) it will not offer or sell
any shares of Class A Common Stock to persons in the United Kingdom except to
persons whose ordinary activities involve them in acquiring, holding, managing
or disposing of investments (as principal or agent) for the purposes of their
businesses or otherwise in circumstances which will not involve an offer to the
public in the United Kingdom within the meaning of the Public Offers of
Securities Regulations 1995 ("the Regulations"); (ii) it will comply with all
applicable provisions of the Financial Services Act 1986 and the Regulations
with respect to anything done by it in relation to the shares of Class A Common
Stock in, from, or otherwise involving the United Kingdom; and (iii) it will
only issue or pass on to any person in the United Kingdom any document received
by it in connection with the offering of the shares of Class A Common Stock if
that person is of a kind described in Article 11(3) of the Financial Services
Act 1986 (Investment Advertisements) (Exemptions) Order 1995 or is a person to
whom such document may otherwise lawfully be issued or passed on.
    
 
     No action has been or will be taken in any jurisdiction by the Company or
the Managers that would permit an offering to the general public of the shares
of Class A Common Stock offered hereby in any jurisdiction other than the United
States.
 
     Purchasers of the shares of Class A Common Stock offered hereby may be
required to pay stamp taxes and other charges in accordance with the laws and
practices of the country of purchase in addition to the offering price set forth
on the cover page of this Prospectus.
 
     Pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and Managers, sales may
be made between the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers of such number of shares
of Class A Common Stock as may be mutually agreed. The price of any shares of
Class A Common Stock so sold shall be the public offering price as then in
effect for shares of Class A Common Stock being sold by the U.S. Underwriters,
less all or any part of the selling concessions unless otherwise determined by
mutual agreement. To the extent that there are sales between the U.S.
Underwriters and the Managers pursuant to the Agreement Between U.S.
Underwriters and Managers, the number of shares of Class A Common Stock
initially available for sale by the U.S. Underwriters and by the Managers may be
more or less that the number of shares of Class A Common Stock appearing on the
front cover of this Prospectus.

                        PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
 
   
     The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1995 gives effect to (i) the consummation of the Offering;
(ii) significant business acquisitions of KZKI-TV, WGOT-TV, and WTVX-TV; (iii)
the issuance of $230,000,000 Senior Subordinated Notes issued on September 28,
1995; (iv) proposed significant business acquisitions of WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM;
and (v) the exercise of the Station Options, as if such events had occurred on
January 1, 1995. WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM are the only Proposed Acquisitions which
are considered to be significant business acquisitions and all other Proposed
Acquisitions are asset acquisitions or are immaterial both individually and in
the aggregate and are therefore not required to be included in the Pro Forma
financial information. Prior operators' fiscal years have been conformed to the
Company's December 31, 1995 year end. In addition, depreciation and amortization
expense has been increased for the period to reflect preliminary purchase
accounting allocations for all stations included in the Proposed Acquisitions
and Station Options. The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet at
December 31, 1995 gives effect to: (i) the consummation of the Offering; (ii)
the Proposed Acquisitions and related capital expenditures; (iii) capital
expenditures on existing properties; (iv) the exercise of the Station Options;
(v) the termination of the holders' put on the Class A and Class B common stock
warrants; (vi) acquisitions and dispositions which have closed subsequent to
December 31, 1995; and (vii) the acquisition of a note receivable from Mr.
Paxson, as if such events included in (i) through (vii) had occurred on December
31, 1995.
    
 
     The Proposed Acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method
of accounting. The total cost of the Proposed Acquisitions will be allocated to
the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon
their respective fair values. The allocation of the respective purchase prices
included in the pro forma financial information is preliminary. The Company does
not expect that the final allocation of the purchase prices will materially
differ from the preliminary allocation.
 
     The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and certain
assumptions that the Company believes are reasonable under the circumstances.
The pro forma consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction
with the Company's consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing
elsewhere in this Prospectus. The unaudited pro forma statement of operations
data are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if
the Offering and the acquisitions had occurred on the dates indicated, nor are
they indicative of the Company's future results of operations. There can be no
assurance whether or when the Proposed Acquisitions will be consummated.

     (a) Reflects the results of operations for (i) significant business
acquisitions of KZKI-TV, WGOT-TV and WTVX-TV since their respective dates of
acquisition; (ii) asset acquisitions and insignificant business acquisitions of
WYVN-TV, KLXV-TV, WFTL-AM, KTFH-TV, WTWS-TV, WSJT-FM, WTGI-TV and the Alabama
Radio Network since their respective dates of acquisition; (iii) operations
pursuant to brokerage agreements ("TBAs") for WOAC-TV, WTJC-TV, KUBD-TV and
WTVX-TV since their respective dates of commencement; and (iv) insignificant
terminated operations until such time of termination.
 
     (b) Reflects prior operator results.
 
   
     (c) Pro forma statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1995,

acquisitions of KZKI-TV, WGOT-TV and WTVX-TV; (iii) the issuance of the Notes on
September 28, 1995; (iv) proposed significant business acquisitions of WRMA-FM
and WXDJ-FM; and (v) the exercise of the Station Options as if such acquisitions
had occurred on January 1, 1995. WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM are the only Proposed
Acquisitions which are considered to be significant business acquisitions and
all other Proposed Acquisitions are asset acquisitions or are immaterial both
individually and in the aggregate and are therefore not required to be included
in the pro forma financial information. Prior operators' fiscal years have been
conformed to the Company's December 31, 1995 year end. In addition, depreciation
and amortization expense has been increased for the period to reflect
preliminary purchase accounting allocations for all stations included in the
Proposed Acquisitions and Station Options. Pro forma results have not been
included for the following transactions subsequent to December 31, 1995: (i) the
asset acquisitions of WHAI-TV and WAKC-TV; (ii) the commencement of TBA
operations of WRMY-TV, KWBF-TV and WCEE-TV; and (iii) the proposed acquisitions
of Channel 68, WNGM-TV, WHKE-TV, WJUE-TV, WHBI-TV, WOCD-TV, WOST-TV, KZAR-TV,
WFSJ-FM, WHUB-FM and WHUB-AM as such acquisitions are either asset acquisitions
or insignificant business acquisitions.
    
 
   
     (d) Prior operators' results have been adjusted as follows to conform the
prior operators' fiscal year ends to the Company's December 31 year end: (i)
KZKI's January 31, 1995 year end has been conformed to the Company's year end by
including the period from January 1, 1995 through May 17, 1995; and (ii) WRMA-FM
and WXDJ-FM's September 30, 1995 year end has been conformed to the Company's
year end by including October, November and December 1995 and excluding October,
November and December 1994.
    
 
     (e) To reflect (i) the elimination of $372 of general and administrative
costs which represent redundant facilities and staff for WTVX-TV; (ii) the
elimination of $69 which represents TBA fees paid to the prior licensee of
WRMA-FM; (iii) the elimination of $495 which represents TBA fees paid to prior
licensees for stations subject to exercise of the Station Options; (iv) the
increase in time brokerage expense of $104 for TBA fees for WTVX-TV; and (v) the
elimination of $115 which represents a non-recurring litigation settlement for
WRMA-FM.
 
     (f) Option plan compensation represents a non-cash charge associated with
the granting of common stock options to employees under the Company's Stock
Incentive Plan. See "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
and Results of Operations -- Results of Operations" and "Management -- Stock
Incentive Plan."

     (i) To reflect the elimination of interest income earned on investments in
broadcast properties of $14 as such investments have been applied towards the
purchase price associated with the exercise of the Station Options.
    
 
     (j) To reflect the elimination of $98 of non-recurring expenses relating to
bankruptcy reorganization of WTVX-TV.
 
     (k) Dividends and accretion on preferred stock and common stock warrants
represent such amount for the Senior Preferred Stock (15% dividend rate),
redeemable Class A and B common stock warrants and Junior Preferred Stock (12%
dividend rate). Such capital stock is mandatorily redeemable and certain issues
accrete. See "Description of Capital Stock."
 
   
     (l) The Company has agreed to acquire WRMA-FM and WXDJ-FM for a price of
either (i) $107.5 million in cash or (ii) $92 million in cash plus 1,277,778
shares of Class A Common Stock (subject to increase if the market value of the
Class A shares declines below $18 per share), as determined at the seller's
option prior to the execution of definitive purchase documentation. For purposes
of the information set forth in the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement
of operations, the Company has assumed that the sellers will elect to receive
the purchase price for the stations entirely in cash. Were the sellers to elect
to receive cash and Class A shares, the pro forma net loss per share and pro
forma net loss per share attributable to common stock would be $(1.24) and
$(1.53), respectively.
    
 
   
     (m) To reflect the issuance of 11,500 Class A shares, net of 357 shares
which will be registered in the Offering, but were outstanding at December 31,

     (a) The pro forma balance sheet at December 31, 1995 gives effect to: (i)
the consummation of the Offering; (ii) the Proposed Acquisitions and related
capital expenditures; (iii) capital expenditures on existing properties; (iv)
the exercise of the Station Options; (v) the termination of the holders' put on
the Class A and Class B common stock warrants; (vi) acquisitions and
dispositions which have closed subsequent to December 31, 1995; and (vii) the
acquisition of a note receivable from Mr. Paxson, as if such events had occurred
on December 31, 1995.
 
   
     (b) To reflect the use of cash and the increase in long-term debt for
acquisitions subsequent to December 31, 1995, preliminary purchase accounting
allocations for such acquisitions and related capital expenditures. Purchase
accounting allocations reflect the Company owning WHAI-TV and WAKC-TV and
financing the acquisitions of TBA operated stations for WRMY-TV, KWBF-TV and
WCEE-TV. Use of cash is net of $2,800 of funds escrowed at December 31, 1995 and
long-term debt incurred under the Company's $100,000,000 revolving credit
facility. Use of cash for acquisitions closed subsequent to December 31, 1995

     (c) To reflect the sale of assets of the South Carolina Radio Network and
the World Travelers Network to Mr. Paxson subsequent to December 31, 1995 at
their respective net book values. The subsequent sale of the South Carolina
Radio Network by Mr. Paxson to a third party netted excess proceeds of
approximately $105 which was paid to the Company; such amount is not reflected
in the pro forma financial data as it is not material. See "Certain
Transactions."
 
     (d) To reflect the use of cash to acquire a note receivable from CNI with
respect to a deposit on KLDT-TV. The note was previously held by Mr. Paxson and
was purchased at its face value. See "Certain Transactions."
 
     (e) To reflect the proceeds from the Offering based on $17 per share, net
of underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses.
 
     (f) To reflect the use of proceeds for the Proposed Acquisitions,
preliminary purchase accounting allocations for such acquisitions and related
capital expenditures. Purchase accounting allocations reflect the Company owning
Channel 68, WHKE-TV, WOCD-TV, WXDJ-FM, WRMA-FM, WFSJ-FM, WHUB-FM and WHUB-AM,
financing the acquisition of TBA operated stations for WNGM-TV and WHBI-TV and
investing in the equity of stations for WSJN-TV, KZAR-TV, WJUE-TV and WOST-TV.
Use of proceeds is net of funds escrowed which are included in other assets at
December 31, 1995. In conjunction with the acquisition of WFSJ-FM, the Company
will issue Class A common stock for the stock of the station and will assume a
$1,550 note payable to Mr. Paxson which is assumed to be repaid through the use
of proceeds (see "The Proposed Acquisitions" and "Certain Transactions"). The
acquisition of WXDJ-FM and WRMA-FM will be consummated for either cash of
$107,500 or cash of $92,000 and approximately 1.3 million shares of Class A
Common Stock, at the option of the seller. The pro forma financial data assumes

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Paxson Communications Corporation
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the
related consolidated statements of operations, of changes in common
stockholders' equity and of cash flows present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Paxson Communications Corporation and its subsidiaries
(the "Company") at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 1995, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management;
our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                           DECEMBER 31, 1995 AND 1994
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
  Basis of Presentation
 
     Paxson Communications Corporation (the "Company"), a Delaware corporation,
was organized in December 1993 for the purpose of owning and operating radio and
television broadcasting stations and networks. In January 1995, the Company
began operating its Infomall Television Network (the "Infomall TV Network" or
"inTV"). The radio broadcasting activities were previously operated by
businesses under common control of Mr. Lowell W. Paxson which were reorganized
into the Company on December 15, 1993, in exchange for Company common stock. The
reorganization was accounted for in a manner similar to the pooling of interests
accounting method which included the operating results prior to December 15,
1993 because the transactions took place among entities under common control.
 
     On April 14, 1994, the Company acquired 68.1% of the common voting stock of
The American Network Group, Inc. ("ANG"), a Nasdaq Small-Cap Market traded
company. The Company has consolidated the financial results of ANG since that
time. On November 4, 1994, ANG stockholders approved the merger of ANG into the
Company through an exchange of common stock, which resulted in the Company's
Class A common stock becoming publicly-held. In connection with the merger with
ANG, the Company amended its capital structure to provide two classes of common
voting stock, Class A common stock and Class B common stock. The per share pro
forma effect of the merger and recapitalization has been presented on the
Company's statement of operations for the two years ended December 31, 1994
based on the weighted average common shares outstanding (Note 15).
 
  Operations
 
     The Company operates three business segments: (1) the Infomall TV Network
is a nationwide network of owned, operated and affiliated television stations
dedicated to the airing of long form paid programming, consisting primarily of
infomercials; (2) Paxson Radio consists of radio broadcasting stations, radio
news and sports networks and billboard operations; and (3) Paxson
Network-Affiliated Television includes network-affiliated television
broadcasting stations in West Palm Beach, Florida. See Note 18 for a listing of
stations which the Company began operating subsequent to year end. At December
31, 1995, operations were comprised of the following stations:

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
  Principles of Consolidation
 
     The consolidated financial statements include accounts of the Company and
its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have
been eliminated.
 
  Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
 
     On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities", the effect of which was immaterial. At December 31, 1995,
approximately $58 million of debt securities, all classified as held to maturity
and consisting of money market accounts, commercial paper and overnight
repurchase agreements, were included in cash and cash equivalents because they
had original maturities of three months or less.
 
  Property and Equipment
 
     Purchases of property and equipment, including additions and improvements
and expenditures for repairs and maintenance that significantly add to
productivity or extend the economic lives of the assets, are capitalized at cost
and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as
follows:
 
<TABLE>
    <S>                                                                     <C>
    Broadcasting towers and equipment.....................................      6-13 years
    Office furniture and equipment........................................      6-10 years

    Leasehold improvements................................................   Term of lease
    Vehicles and other....................................................         5 years
</TABLE>
 
     Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements of these items are charged to
expense as incurred.
 
  Intangible Assets
 
     The excess of cost over the fair value of acquired net assets has been
capitalized as goodwill. Intangible assets are being amortized using the
straight-line method over their estimated useful lives as follows (Note 5):
 
<TABLE>
    <S>                                                                     <C>

  Investments in Broadcast Properties
 
     Investments in broadcast properties represent the Company's financing of
television and radio station acquisitions by third parties. The Company has
entered into time brokerage agreements ("TBAs") with such third parties for the
television station operations and has written options to purchase certain of the
related station assets and Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") licenses at
various amounts and terms (Notes 7 and 18).
 
  Program Rights
 
     The Company obtains licenses for program rights which allow the Company to
broadcast program material in accordance with contractual agreements. Pursuant
to a licensing agreement, an asset is recorded
 
                                       F-9
<PAGE>   104
 
                       PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
for the program rights acquired and a liability is recorded for the obligation
incurred, at the gross amount of the liability when available to air. Program
rights are amortized on a method that approximates the straight-line basis over
the related term. Program rights which will not be aired are charged to expense.
Current program rights represent programs which will be amortized during the
next year; current liabilities represent program rights which will be paid
within the next year under contractual arrangements (Note 8).
 
  Other Assets
 
     Loan origination costs are stated at cost and are amortized to interest
expense over the life of the loan or agreement using the effective interest
method. Escrow funds represent funds held in escrow on acquisitions pending FCC
approval. Other assets are stated at cost (Note 6).
 
  SFAS 121 Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Identifiable Intangibles
 
     On January 1, 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for
Long-Lived Assets To Be Disposed Of", the effect of which was immaterial. The
Company reviews long-lived assets, identifiable intangibles and goodwill and
will reserve for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate
the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.
 
  Minority Interest
 
     Minority interest at December 31, 1994 represented the third party's
limited partner's interest in the radio broadcasting stations located in
Cookeville, Tennessee. The Company purchased this minority interest in 1995
(Note 2).
 
  Stock Subscription Notes Receivable
 
     Stock subscription notes receivable were assumed in conjunction with the
merger with ANG. Stock subscription notes receivable also include employee
receivables issued upon exercise of stock options in conjunction with the
Company's stock incentive plan (Note 12).
 
  Revenue Recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized as advertising air time is broadcast.
 
  Trade and Barter Agreements
 
     The Company enters into trade and barter agreements which give rise to
sales of advertising air time in exchange for products, services and
programming. Sales from trade and barter agreements are recognized at the fair
market value of products, services or programs received as the related
advertising air time is broadcast. Products, services and programs received are
expensed when used or when programs are broadcast. If the Company uses trade
products or services before advertising air time is provided, a trade liability
is recognized. At times, the Company trades air time for property and equipment.
 
  Time Brokerage Agreements
 
     The Company operates certain stations under a time brokerage agreement
("TBA") whereby the Company has agreed to purchase from the broadcast station
licensee certain broadcast time on the station and to provide programming to and
sell advertising on the station during the purchased time. Accordingly, the
Company receives all the revenue derived from the advertising sold during the
purchased time, pays certain expenses of the station and performs other
functions. The broadcast station licensee retains responsibility for
 
                                      F-10

                       PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION
 
           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
ultimate control of the station in accordance with FCC policies. At December 31,
1995, the Company operated seven stations under TBAs which expire from April
1999 through October 2005.
 
  Stock Based Compensation
 
     The Company will adopt Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123,
"Accounting for Stock Based Compensation" ("SFAS 123") during 1996. Upon
adoption of SFAS 123, the Company intends to retain the intrinsic value method
of accounting for stock based compensation and disclose pro forma net loss and
loss per share amounts.
 
  Income Taxes
 
     Provisions are made to record deferred income taxes for items reported in
different periods for financial reporting purposes than for federal and state
income tax purposes. The Company records deferred income taxes using the
liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".
 
  Extraordinary Item
 
     The extraordinary item for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1993
relates to the write-off of loan origination costs associated with the
extinguishment of certain debt agreements. See a description of the tax effect
in Note 11.
 
  Per Share Data
 
     Per share data for the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 give a pro
forma effect to the Company's amended capital structure related to the merger
with ANG and the stock dividend on common shares outstanding on January 1, 1995
(Note 15). Due to net losses, the effect of stock options and warrants is anti-
dilutive and therefore these common stock equivalents are not included in the
calculation of weighted average shares outstanding.
 
  Use of Estimates
 
     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
  Reclassifications
 
     Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior years' financial
statements to conform with the 1995 presentation.

2.  ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS AND DISPOSITIONS:
 
  Acquisitions and investments:
 
     During 1995 and 1994, the Company acquired the assets of certain broadcast
properties. Purchases were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting
and the financial results of TBA operated stations have been included in the
Company's statement of operations since the commencement of the TBA.

3.  CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS:
 
     The Company enters into and maintains certain operating and financing
transactions with related parties as described below.
 
  Christian Network, Inc.
 
     The Company has entered into several agreements with The Christian Network,
Inc. and certain of its for profit subsidiaries (individually and collectively
referred to herein as "CNI"). The Christian Network, Inc. is

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
a section 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation to which Mr. Paxson was a
substantial contributor and was a director.
 
     Investment in Broadcast Properties.  At December 31, 1995, the Company had
investments in broadcast properties of $16,481,345 related to the Company's
financing of certain broadcasting acquisitions for CNI. In conjunction with
these financings, the Company has obtained TBAs with these stations and has
obtained options to purchase certain of these stations (Note 7).
 
     KLDT-TV.  During 1995, in connection with CNI securing the rights to
acquire television station KLDT-TV in Dallas, Texas and, prior to such
acquisition, operate the station pursuant to a TBA, Mr. Paxson initially loaned
CNI $1,000,000 to make a deposit in respect to such acquisition and guaranteed
the obligations of CNI under the purchase agreement and the TBA. On January 9,
1996, the Company purchased such note from Mr. Paxson at its face value.
 
     CNI Agreement.  The Company and CNI entered into an agreement in May 1994
(the "CNI Agreement") under which the Company agreed that, if the tax exempt
status of CNI were jeopardized by virtue of its relationships with the Company
and its subsidiaries, the Company would take certain actions to try and ensure
that CNI's tax exempt status would no longer be so jeopardized. Such steps could
include, but not be limited to, rescission of one or more transactions or
payment of additional funds by the Company. The Company believes that all of its
agreements with CNI have been on terms at least as favorable to CNI as it would
obtain in arm's length transactions. The Company intends any future agreements
with CNI to be at least as favorable to CNI as CNI would obtain in arm's length
transactions. Accordingly, if the Company's activities with CNI are consistent
with the terms governing their relationship, the Company believes that it will
not be required to take any actions under the CNI Agreement. However, there can
be no assurance that the Company will not be required to take any actions under
the CNI Agreement at a material cost to the Company.
 
     WFCT-TV Transactions.  On December 17, 1993, Bradenton Broadcast
Television, Ltd. ("BBTC") entered into an agreement whereby CNI would make
available to BBTC up to $3,120,000 for certain expenses in connection with the
redemption of a limited partnership interest in BBTC and the construction of
television station WFCT-TV, Bradenton, Florida (the "BBTC Loan Agreement"). In
connection with the loan, BBTC granted to CNI an irrevocable, exclusive option
to purchase the assets owned by BBTC that are used or useful in the construction
or operation of WFCT-TV, including the license issued by the FCC for WFCT-TV,
subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and the receipt of necessary
regulatory approvals. CNI's option may be exercised, subject to the prior
approval of the FCC, at any time during the ten year period beginning on the
first anniversary of the completion of construction of WFCT-TV. The price
payable to BBTC upon exercise of the option is $91,000 in cash and the
forgiveness of all outstanding indebtedness under the loan of $1,120,000.
WFCT-TV commenced broadcasting operations on August 1, 1994. The Company leases
certain broadcasting assets to BBTC for fees of $60,000 per annum. Additionally,
the Company entered into a partial TBA with BBTC and CNI, whereby the Company
purchases up to twelve hours per day of broadcasting time from BBTC for a
monthly fee of approximately $3,500. In connection with the foregoing
transactions, Mr. Paxson agreed to lend CNI up to $3,120,000 to fund the loan to
BBTC. On June 15, 1994, CNI and BBTC revised the BBTC Loan Agreement to reduce
the maximum amount of the loan from $3,120,000 to $1,400,000, and to provide
that BBTC lease rather than purchase the equipment and related tangible personal
property required to construct WFCT-TV from the Company. Mr. Paxson assigned his
rights and interests in the CNI loan to the Company in the amount of $1,120,000
(representing the then outstanding principal balance owed by CNI), and CNI
agreed that the maximum principal amount of the loan would be reduced from
$3,120,000 to $1,400,000. On June 15, 1994, CNI assigned to the Company the
option to acquire the WFCT-TV assets from CNI for $191,000 after CNI exercises
its option to purchase such assets from BBTC. On June 15, 1994, CNI assigned to
the Company its rights and interests under the TBA to provide up to twelve hours
per day of programming on WFCT-TV.

     Worship Channel Studio.  On January 1, 1993, Mr. Paxson agreed to lend CNI
up to $2,500,000 to fund CNI's acquisition of certain equipment and related
tangible property used in the production of television programming. Mr. Paxson
assigned his rights and interests under the loan to the Company, in
consideration for the Company's promissory note in the principal amount of
$2,500,000, which the Company subsequently repaid. In accordance with the terms
of an agreement dated as of June 15, 1994, CNI sold to the Company CNI's
production assets in consideration for the cancellation of CNI's $2,500,000
promissory note held by the Company. CNI and the Company have also contracted,
effective as of August 1, 1994, for Paxson-66 to lease CNI's television
production and distribution facility to the Company for the purpose of producing
television programming for the Infomall TV Network.
 
  Airplane
 
     During 1994, the Company purchased an aircraft for $250,000 from a company
controlled by Mr. Paxson. The Company believes that the terms of such
transaction were at least as favorable as they would have been if obtained in an
arm's length transaction with an unaffiliated third party.
 
  Whitehead Media, Inc.
 
     The Company initially financed the acquisition by Whitehead Media, Inc.
("Whitehead Media") of WTVX-TV and WOAC-TV. Whitehead Media subsequently
obtained financing from Banque Paribas, an affiliate of a holder of the
Company's Junior preferred stock, the proceeds of which were used to repay the
debt owed by Whitehead Media to the Company and will be used to fund Whitehead
Media's acquisition of WNGM-TV. The third party financing provided to Whitehead
Media is unconditionally guaranteed by Mr. Paxson and Second Crystal Diamond,
Limited Partnership ("Second Crystal") an affiliate controlled by Mr. Paxson and
through which he beneficially owns and controls a substantial portion of the
Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Such guarantees are
secured by a pledge of a significant portion of Second Crystal's Class A common
stock. The Company is permitted to operate stations WTVX-TV and WOAC-TV pursuant
to TBAs and as a result of the third party financing to Whitehead Media has an
option to purchase each of such stations, which options to purchase would
otherwise be prohibited under FCC rules and regulations because each of such
stations serves a market in which the Company has or will own another television
station.
 
  Home Shopping Network, Inc.
 
     In connection with the departure in 1990 of Mr. Paxson from Home Shopping
Network, Inc. ("HSN"), he executed a consulting agreement containing various
restrictions upon activities by him that might be considered competitive with
HSN, including activities as an investor in competitive and other enterprises.
Although Mr. Paxson's consulting services to HSN terminated in 1994, certain of
the restrictions survived. As the Company's business evolved, the possible
effect of the consulting agreement upon Mr. Paxson's role as the Company's chief
executive officer and controlling stockholder became unclear. The Company
considered it advisable to eliminate doubts concerning, among other matters, Mr.
Paxson's role as a chief executive officer and controlling stockholder as the
Company's business developed, and the scope of HSN's rights under the consulting
agreement. Accordingly, on August 25, 1995, the Company and Mr. Paxson agreed
with HSN to, among other things, terminate HSN's rights under the consulting
agreement in consideration of a payment to HSN by the Company of $1,200,000. In
conjunction with this transaction Mr. Paxson advanced $1,200,000 to the Company
in the form of a note bearing interest at 6%. The Company repaid the note in
October 1995. Shortly before the transaction with HSN, Mr. Paxson agreed with
the Company that upon termination of HSN's rights under the consulting
agreement, he will not compete with the Company for a period ending on

December 31, 1999 (the date that the HSN consulting agreement would have
otherwise terminated) or the date of a change in control (as defined with
respect thereto) of the Company. An intangible asset has been recorded for
$1,200,000 which will be amortized through maturity of the agreement.
 
  Todd Communications, Inc.
 
     In 1993, Mr. Paxson contributed to the Company, a demand note receivable in
the amount of $1,750,000 from Todd Communications, Inc. ("Todd Communications"),
a company which owns WFSJ-FM (St. Augustine, Florida) and is beneficially owned
by a member of Mr. Paxson's family. The note receivable accrues interest at the
short-term annual applicable federal rate prescribed by the Internal Revenue
Service with the balance of principal and interest due upon demand. Interest
income recognized related to the note aggregated approximately $110,000, $70,900
and $6,560 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
The Company also performs limited sales support and administrative functions for
Todd Communications under a joint sales agreement. Todd Communications is billed
for efforts expended on terms comparable to those generally available from
unaffiliated third parties (Note 18).
 
  World Travelers Network
 
     On January 1, 1996, Mr. Paxson purchased the assets of the World Travelers
Network from the Company at their net book value of approximately $70,000.
 
  South Carolina Radio Network
 
     Effective January 1, 1996, Mr. Paxson purchased the assets of the South
Carolina Radio Network from the Company at their net book value of approximately
$45,000. Mr. Paxson subsequently sold such assets to a third party for $150,000,
with the excess over $45,000 being paid to the Company in accordance with the
parties' agreement.
 
  Board of Directors
 
     The Company has entered into transactions with certain members of its Board
of Directors.
 
     Communications Equity Associates, Inc. ("CEA").  The Chairman of the Board
and Chief Executive Officer of CEA has been a director of the Company since
February 1995. The Company engaged CEA as a financial advisor in connection with
certain private placements and various other lending relationships. Fees paid to
CEA for these services totaled approximately $1,300,000, $1,855,000 and
$1,060,000 for the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
 
     Stockholder Agreements.  Certain redeemable preferred stock and common
stock warrants are held by entities controlled by Mr. Paxson and entities which
are affiliates of two directors of the Company (Notes 13 and 14).
 
     S. William Scott.  S. William Scott, a director of the Company since
February 1995, has an arrangement with the Company to provide consulting
services to the Company with respect to the development of its news programming
for its radio and television broadcast business and its radio network business.
Mr. Scott was paid approximately $80,000, $84,000 and $84,000 for such services
during the years ended December 31, 1995, 1994 and 1993, respectively.
Additionally, Mr. Scott received benefits under the Company's health and
benefits plan and was granted options to purchase 10,000 shares of stock under
the Company's stock incentive plan.

     In September 1995, the Company extinguished its $150,000,000 revolving
credit agreement utilizing proceeds from the issuance of senior subordinated
notes. Additionally during 1995, the Company executed and subsequently
extinguished a $75,000,000 revolving credit agreement utilizing proceeds from
the issuance of senior subordinated notes (Note 10).
 
     On December 19, 1995, the Company executed a $100,000,000 senior secured
revolving credit facility. The aggregate revolving commitment under the credit
facility will decrease by $10 million on December 31, 1997 and by $3.75 million
to $7.5 million each subsequent quarter thereafter until the termination of the
credit facility on June 30, 2002. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility
will bear interest at a rate equal to, at the option of the Company, either (i)
the base rate (which is defined as the higher of  1/2% plus the Federal Funds
rate or the prime rate most recently announced by the agent under the credit
facility) or (ii) LIBOR, in each case plus an applicable margin determined by
reference to the ratio of total debt to cash flow of the Company. Interest on
the current amounts drawn under the facility accrues at an initial rate of LIBOR
plus 3.25%. This revolving credit facility is secured by substantially all of
the Company's assets (as well as a negative pledge on all real property
interests) and subsidiary guarantees.
 
     The reducing revolving credit facility contains a number of covenants that
restrict, among other things, the Company's ability to incur additional
indebtedness, incur liens, make investments, pay dividends or make other
restricted payments, consummate certain asset sales, consolidate with any other
person or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of
substantially all of the assets of the Company. Prior to making any advance
under the new credit facility, the Company will be required to be in compliance
with all financial and operating covenants. Certain acquisitions to be funded
under the new credit facility are expected to require approval by 66 2/3% of the
lenders thereunder. The lenders under the new credit facility will be paid a
commitment fee at the rate of 0.5% per year on unused commitments, payable
quarterly.
 
     Aggregate maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 1995 are as follows:

           NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
 
10.  SENIOR SUBORDINATED NOTES:
 
     On September 28, 1995, the Company issued $230,000,000 of senior
subordinated notes (the "Notes") at a discount, netting proceeds of $227,309,000
to the Company. The Company accretes the original issue discount over the term
of the Notes using the effective interest method. At December 31, 1995, the
discount was $2,625,089. Interest on the Notes accrues at 11.625% to yield an
effective rate of 11.875%. Interest payments are payable semiannually on each
April 1 and October 1, commencing on April 1, 1996. The principal balance is due
at maturity on October 1, 2002. As part of the Note agreement, the Company filed
a registration statement relating to the Notes with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC"), and commenced an offer to exchange the registered notes
for the Notes beginning January 24, 1996.
 
     The Notes contain certain covenants which, among other things, restrict
additional indebtedness, payment of dividends, stock issuance of subsidiaries,
certain investments and transfers or sales of assets, and provide for the
repurchase of the Notes in the event of a change in control of the Company. The
Notes are general unsecured obligations of the Company subordinate in right of
payment to all existing and future senior indebtedness of the Company and senior
in right to all future subordinated indebtedness of the Company.
 
     The Notes become redeemable at the option of the Company on October 1,
1999, 2000 and 2001 at a redemption price of 104%, 102% and 100%, respectively,
of the outstanding principal amount, plus accrued interest. Additionally, the
Company may redeem up to 25% of the original principal amount of the Notes with
proceeds from certain sales of Company stock or assets at any time prior to
October 1, 1998 at a redemption price of 110% of the outstanding principal
amount, plus accrued interest. There are no mandatory redemption requirements.
 
11.  INCOME TAXES:
 
     Prior to the reorganization and consolidation on December 15, 1993, the
Company's businesses operated in the form of partnerships and S corporations for
federal and state income tax purposes. Therefore, all income and losses prior to
that date were taxed at the partner and stockholder level and no provision for
income taxes was recorded.
 
     As a result of the reorganization and consolidation on December 15, 1993,
the tax status of the Company changed to a taxable entity. Reflected in the 1993
tax provision for continuing operations is the cumulative difference between the
tax bases and book bases of assets and liabilities arising prior to this date.
Significant components of the (benefit) provision for income taxes are as
follows:

     A valuation allowance has been provided when management believes it is more
likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. A
portion of the net operating losses were acquired in the acquisition of ANG.
Future recognition of the benefit from these acquired losses will be applied
first to reduce goodwill related to the acquisition, then to reduce other
non-current intangible assets related to the acquisition and then to reduce
income tax expense.
 
     The Company and its subsidiaries have filed consolidated tax returns for
all periods subsequent to December 15, 1993.
 
     A pro forma provision for income taxes to reflect the effect on the
statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1993 had the Company's
business operations filed a consolidated income tax return for 1993, prior to
December 15, 1993, would result in a tax benefit of approximately $3,159,000 for
net operating losses and a corresponding valuation allowance resulting in no pro
forma provision for income taxes.
 
     The reconciliation of income tax benefit attributable to continuing
operations, computed at U.S. Federal Statutory tax rates, to the provision for
income taxes is:

     The extraordinary items relate to debt retirements. The 1993 retirements
occurred in the period before the Company reorganized on December 15, 1993, were
taxable at the stockholder level and, accordingly, are not tax affected. No tax
effect has been included related to the 1995 debt retirement as the
extraordinary item is included in the Company's net operating loss carryforward
for which a valuation allowance has been provided.
 
     The Company has net operating loss carryforwards for income tax purposes
subject to certain carryforward limitations of approximately $35,700,000 at
December 31, 1995 expiring through 2010. A portion of the net operating losses
relate to ANG and are limited to annual utilization as a result of the change in
ownership.
 
12.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS AND EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS:
 
  Savings and Profit Sharing Plan
 
     The Company has retirement savings and cafeteria plans pursuant to Sections
401(k) and 125 of the Internal Revenue Code which cover substantially all of the
Company's employees. Employer contributions to the retirement savings plan are
discretionary. The Company elected not to make retirement savings contributions
for the three plan years ended December 31, 1995. Under the cafeteria plan,
employees may elect to participate in health, dental, life and disability
insurance benefit plans funded through employee payroll deductions.
 
  Stock Incentive Plan
 
     In November 1994, the Company established the Stock Incentive Plan (the
"Plan") to provide incentives to officers and other employees through the
issuance of options and restricted stock. The number of options, exercise prices
and exercise dates granted under the Plan are at the discretion of the Company's
Compensation Committee and may be in the form of either incentive or
non-qualified stock options or awards of restricted stock. At December 31, 1995,
301,370 shares of Class A common stock were available for issuance under the
Plan. When options are granted, a non-cash charge representing the difference
between the exercise price and the fair market value of the vested options on
the date of grant is recorded as option plan compensation expense. For the year
ended December 31, 1995, the Company recognized approximately $10,800,000 of
option plan compensation expense and expects to recognize approximately an
additional $1,400,000 of expense over the next five years as such options vest.
 
     At December 31, 1995, 49 employees had been granted options under the Plan
pursuant to a five-year vesting cycle commencing retroactively to the employee's
date of employment or exercisable in full at the date of grant. At December 31,
1995, approximately 1,100,000 shares were vested and fully exercisable. In
January 1996, 10,000 options were granted at $3.42 per option and 8,928 were
granted at $0.01 per option. All options granted expire over a ten year period.
Transactions under the Plan are as follows:

14.  COMMON STOCK WARRANTS:
 
  Redeemable Common Stock Warrants
 
     In connection with the 1993 Redeemable Senior preferred stock issuance, the
Company issued 225 detachable redeemable common stock purchase warrants
entitling the holder to purchase one common share per warrant at an exercise
price of $0.01 per share. On December 22, 1994, 94.6223 of the warrants were
exercised for 1,310,779 shares of Class A common stock and 436,926 shares of
Class B common stock and were then surrendered for the redeemable Series B
preferred stock. The remaining 130.3777 redeemable common stock purchase
warrants entitle the holders to purchase 2,709,129 Class A common shares and
903,043 Class B common shares (after giving effect to the stock dividend).
 
     The stock purchase warrants include a put provision requiring the Company
to repurchase any warrants, at the option of the holder, at the fair market
value per share on or after the seventh anniversary of issue date (December 15,
2000). At December 31, 1995, using the fair value of the underlying stock, the
stock purchase warrants would accrete to approximately $49,600,000 at their
mandatory redemption date of December 15, 2000. The holders of the warrants are
entitled to demand registration rights and piggyback registration rights
following certain offerings of shares to the public.
 
  Class C Common Stock Warrants
 
     In connection with the Redeemable Junior preferred stock issuance on
December 22, 1994, the Company issued 4,853,628 detachable Class C common stock
purchase warrants (after giving effect to the stock

dividend), entitling the holder to purchase one Class C common share per warrant
at an exercise price of $0.001 per share. Certain holders of these purchase
warrants are entitled to demand registration rights subsequent to the third
anniversary of the issuance date and piggyback registration rights six months
following certain offerings of shares to the public.
 
15.  COMMON STOCK:
 
     On December 15, 1993, in connection with the reorganization and
consolidation of its radio broadcasting activities, the Company authorized 1,500
shares and issued 1,200 shares of unclassified common stock.
 
     In November 1994, in connection with the merger with ANG, the Company
amended its capital structure to provide two classes of common voting stock,
Class A common stock (45,000,000 shares authorized) and Class B common stock
(7,000,000 shares authorized). Upon consummation of the recapitalization, the
Company's unclassified common stock outstanding was converted into 15,790,974
shares of Class A common stock and 5,263,658 shares of Class B common stock.
Upon consummation of the merger, the holders of ANG common stock received Class
A common stock in exchange for ANG common stock outstanding and such shares of
Class A common stock which where exchanged for the ANG common stock were listed
on the Nasdaq Small-Cap Market.
 
     On December 22, 1994, the Company further amended its capital structure to
increase authorized shares of Class A common stock to 150,000,000 shares and
Class B common stock to 35,000,000 shares, and to designate a third class of
non-voting common stock, Class C common stock, 12,500,000 shares authorized.
 
     On January 1, 1995, the Company announced a stock dividend for its common
stock of an additional one-half share for each common share outstanding for
holders of record on January 1, 1995. Weighted average shares outstanding for
the years ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 give effect to the Company's amended
capital structure related to the merger with ANG, and the stock dividend on
common shares outstanding on January 1, 1995.
 
     On July 10, 1995, the Company's Class A common stock was listed on the
American Stock Exchange under the symbol of PXN. These publicly traded shares
represent approximately 5% of Class A common shares outstanding at December 31,
1995 and less than 2% of the Company's voting power.
 
     Voting rights allow the voting common stockholders to elect up to 75% of
the Company's Board of Directors, but do not allow the common stockholders to
change the rights and privileges of the preferred stockholders without a
majority affirmative vote of the preferred stockholders. Class A common stock
and Class B common stock will vote as a single class in all matters submitted to
a vote of the stockholders with each share of Class A common stock entitled to
one vote and each share of Class B common stock entitled to ten votes; Class C
common stock is nonvoting. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible, at
the option of its holder, into one share of Class A common stock at any time,
and under certain circumstances, Class C common stock may be converted, at the
option of the holder, into Class A common stock.
 
16.  FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS:
 
     The estimated fair value of financial instruments has been determined by
the Company using available market information and appropriate valuation
methodologies. However, considerable judgment is required in interpreting data
to develop the estimates of fair value. Accordingly, the estimates presented
herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could
realize in a current market exchange. The fair value estimates presented herein
are based on pertinent information available to management as of December 31,
1995. Although management is not aware of any factors that would significantly
affect the estimated fair value amounts, such amounts have not been
comprehensively revalued for purposes of these financial statements since that
date and current estimates of fair value may differ significantly from the

          Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and
     accrued expenses.  The fair values approximate the carrying values due to
     their short term nature.
 
          Investments in broadcast properties.  The fair value of investments in
     broadcast properties is estimated based on the net present value of the
     future cash flows using a discount rate approximating current market rates.
     The fair value approximates the carrying value.
 
          Interest rate caps.  The Company's interest rate cap agreements were
     originally entered into to meet covenants under variable rate revolving
     credit loan agreements outstanding in prior periods, which were
     extinguished during the year ended December 31, 1995, and currently do not
     serve as a hedging vehicle. As a result, interest rate cap agreements
     previously amortized to interest expense have been marked to market and net
     losses of approximately $800,000 were recognized during the year ended
     December 31, 1995 which are reflected in the consolidated statement of
     operations as other income (expense). The Company has interest rate cap
     agreements outstanding at December 31, 1995 with notional amounts totaling
     $75 million. Variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 1995 totaled
     approximately $10 million. The interest rate cap agreements have
     termination dates of March 1996 through December 1997 and result in the
     Company receiving payments when the LIBOR rate exceeds between 5% and
     7 1/4%.
 
          Program rights payable.  The fair value of program rights payable is
     estimated based on the net present value of the future cash flows using a
     discount rate approximating current market rates. The fair value
     approximates the carrying value.
 
          Long-term debt and Senior subordinated notes.  The fair values of
     long-term debt and senior subordinated notes are estimated based on current
     market rates and instruments with the same risk and maturities. The fair
     values approximate the carrying value.
 
          Mandatorily redeemable securities.  Redeemable preferred stock
     (Senior, Series B and Junior) is being accreted to its respective
     redemption values and redeemable common stock warrants (Class A and B) are
     accreted to the estimated fair value of the underlying common stock upon
     redemption. Estimated fair value at redemption is reviewed on a quarterly
     basis to reflect changes in the underlying stock value.
 
17.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
of KZKI-TV (a division of Sandino Telecasters)
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements
of operations, of changes in divisional deficit and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of KZKI-TV (a division
of Sandino Telecasters), (the "Station") at January 31, 1995 and the results of
its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Station's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards
which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An
audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
 
     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Station will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
financial statements, the Station has incurred cumulative net losses and has
significant notes payable which are due on demand, which raise substantial doubt
about the Station's ability to continue as a going concern. Management's plans
in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1. The financial
statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of
this uncertainty.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                JANUARY 31, 1995
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
     KZKI-TV (A division of Sandino Telecasters) (the "Station"), is engaged in
the operation of a television broadcasting station in the Los Angeles,
California market. Sandino Telecasters operates the television station under a
license granted by the Federal Communications Commission.
 
     The Station has incurred cumulative net losses through January 31, 1995
totaling approximately $3,254,000. Additionally, the Station owes approximately
$12,223,000 on demand notes payable and accrued interest to a related party. The
Station does not have sufficient means to repay the notes payable if called (see
Note 4). These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the Station's
ability to continue as a going concern. Owners plan to liquidate the Station's
liabilities through a sale of the Station's assets (see Note 7).
 
     Cash and cash equivalents
 
     Cash and cash equivalents are highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less.
 
     Property and equipment
 
     Purchases of property and equipment, including additions and improvements
and expenditures for repairs and maintenance that significantly add to
productivity or extend the economic lives of the assets, are capitalized at cost
and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as
follows:

        Broadcasting tower and equipment..............................  10 years
        Leasehold improvements........................................  Term of lease
        Office furniture and equipment................................  6 years
</TABLE>
 
     Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements of these items are charged to
expense as incurred.
 
     Intangible assets
 
     Intangible assets consists of the FCC license which is stated at cost and
is being amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life
of 25 years.
 
     Revenue recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized as advertising air time is broadcast.
 
     Income taxes
 
     The Station's operating results have been included in the tax return filed
by Sandino Telecasters. A provision for intercompany income taxes, which
approximates the income tax provision calculated for Station income on a
standalone basis was calculated to be $0 based upon cumulative net losses.
 
     Interim financial data
 
     The interim financial data of the Station is unaudited; however, in the
opinion of Station management, the interim financial data includes all
adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a
fair presentation of results of the interim period. The results of operations
for the period from February 1, 1995 through May 17, 1995 are not necessarily
indicative of the results that could be expected for the entire fiscal year
ending January 31, 1996.

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
of Paugus Television, Inc.
 
     In our opinion, the accompanying balance sheet and the related statements
of operations, of changes in stockholders' deficit and of cash flows present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Paugus Television,
Inc. (the "Company"), at December 31, 1994 and the results of its operations and
its cash flows for the year then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
 
     The accompanying financial statements have been prepared assuming that the
Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note 1 to the
accompanying financial statements, the Company has incurred cumulative net
losses from operations and has significant notes payable which are due on demand
that raise substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern.
Management's plans in regard to these matters are also described in Note 1 to
the accompanying financial statements. The financial statements do not include
any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
1.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
 
     Paugus Television, Inc. (the "Company"), a Delaware Corporation, was
organized in 1988 for the purpose of owning and operating a television station,
WGOT-TV, in Manchester, New Hampshire, serving the Boston, Massachusetts market.
 
     The Company has incurred substantial cumulative net losses through December
31, 1994 totalling approximately $10,067,000. Additionally, the Company owes
approximately $7,811,000 on demand notes payable and accrued interest to a
related party. The Company does not have sufficient means to repay the notes
payable (see Note 6). These conditions raise substantial doubt regarding the
Company's ability to continue as a going concern. Management plans to liquidate
the Company's liabilities through a sale of the Company's assets (see Note 9).
 
     Property and equipment
 
     Purchases of property and equipment, including additions and improvements
and expenditures for repairs and maintenance that significantly add to
productivity or extend the economic lives of the assets, are capitalized at cost
and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as
follows:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                                             <C>
        Broadcasting tower and equipment..............................  7 years
        Office furniture equipment and other..........................  5 years
        Leasehold improvements........................................  Term of lease
</TABLE>
 
     Maintenance, repairs, and minor replacements of these items are charged to
expense as incurred.
 
     Intangible assets
 
     Intangible assets are stated at cost and are being amortized using the
straight-line method over the estimated useful life as follows:
 
<TABLE>
        <S>                                                             <C>
        Goodwill......................................................  25 years
        Favorable lease agreement.....................................  Term of lease
        Organization costs............................................  5 years
</TABLE>
 
     Program rights
 
     The Company obtains licenses for program rights which allow the Company to
broadcast program material in accordance with contractual agreements. Pursuant
to a licensing agreement, an asset is recorded for the program rights acquired
and a liability is recorded for the obligation incurred, at the gross amount of
the liability. Program rights are amortized on a method that approximates the
straight-line basis over the related term. Program rights which will not be
aired are charged to expense. Current program rights represent programs which
will be amortized during the next year, current liabilities represent program
rights which will be paid within the year under contractual agreement.
 
     Income taxes
 
     Provisions are made to record deferred income taxes in recognition of items
reported differently for financial reporting purposes than for federal and state
income tax purposes. The Company records deferred income taxes using the
liability method in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

                  NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (CONTINUED)
                               DECEMBER 31, 1994
 
     Revenue recognition
 
     Revenue is recognized as advertising air time is broadcast.
 
     Trade agreements
 
     The Company enters into trade agreements which give rise to sales of
advertising air time in exchange for products and services. Sales from trade
agreements are recognized at the fair market value of products or services
received as advertised air time is broadcast. Products and services received are
expensed when used in the broadcast operations. If the Company uses exchanged
products or services before advertising air time is provided, a trade liability
is recognized.
 
     Interim financial data
 
     The interim financial data of the Company is unaudited; however, in the
opinion of the Company's management, the interim data includes all adjustments,
consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement
of results for the interim periods. The results of operations for the period
ended May 17, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results that can be
expected for the entire fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.

Gentlemen:
 
     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheet of New Age
Broadcasting, Inc. and the Seventies Broadcasting Corporation (both S
corporations) as of September 30, 1995 and the related combined statements of
income, retained earnings and cash flows for the year then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
 
     We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatements. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
     In our opinion the financial statements referred to above present fairly in
all material respects, the financial position of New Age Broadcasting, Inc. and
The Seventies Broadcasting Corporation as of September 30, 1995, and the results
of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

3.  CAPITAL LEASE
 
     As part of the acquisition of WRMA-FM, the company assumed the obligation
of a lease for space on the transmission tower. The lease is for a fifty year
term which commenced February 1, 1988. Based on the provisions of Financial
Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 13, the lease meets the criteria of a
capital lease and, accordingly, has been recorded as an asset with a capitalized
cost of $643,686. Depreciation of $9,979 and interest of $25,700, related to
this asset, have been charged to operations and included in technical expenses
on the income statement.
 
     In the initial year of the lease the annual base rent amounted to $36,100
payable monthly. The rent increases annually by the U.S. Department of Labor
Consumer Price Index but never by more than 10%.
 
     Future minimum lease payments inclusive of CPI increases to date, under the
capitalized lease are as follows:

4.  INCOME TAXES
 
     Both New Age Broadcasting, Inc., effective March 1, 1988, and The Seventies
Broadcasting Corporation, effective July 8, 1994 have elected to be taxed under
the provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and the State of
Florida Code with fiscal years ending on September 30 and December 31,
respectively. Under these provisions, the companies do not pay federal or state
corporate income taxes on its income. The individual stockholders are liable for
federal and state income taxes on their respective shares of the companies'
taxable income.
 
     From inception to February 29, 1988, New Age Broadcasting, Inc. was taxed
under provisions of subchapter C of the code in which the company is taxed
directly on its income. The company had incurred net operating losses of
$360,260, for tax purposes, which are available to be carried over to offset
taxable income in future years up to year 2002 should "S" status be terminated
at some future date prior to year 2002.
 
5.  CAPITAL STOCK
 
     New Age Broadcasting, Inc. is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common
stock with a par value of $10. At the time of issuance, this stock was

consisting of 49 voting shares and 131 nonvoting shares.
 
     Seventies Broadcasting Corporation is authorized to issue 7,500 shares of

6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  A. Office Space Leases
 
     Each company has secured office space in Miami, Florida under a five-year
lease which expires on April 30, 2000 with a five year renewal option
exercisable at that time.
 
  B. Antenna Tower Lease
 
     New Age Broadcasting, Inc. has secured antenna tower space at a facility in
Miami and is currently operating at that site under a temporary FCC operating
permit. The lease covering these facilities is for a five-year period, with six
five-year renewal periods, commencing September 1, 1992 with monthly rents of
$3,500 plus sales tax.
 
     The antenna facility lease contains provisions allowing for the subletting
of the facility subject to typical landlord approval policies. The company is in
the process of obtaining a new site for its permanent transmitter facility. In
the event that the company relocates its antenna facility prior to the
expiration of the lease term, a duplicate rental payment would be expected if a
suitable replacement tenant cannot be located for the existing facility.
 
     The Seventies Broadcasting Corporation antenna tower facility arrangement
is detailed in Note 3.

  D. Station Vehicles
 
     The Seventies Broadcasting Corporation has assumed vehicle leases acquired
in the acquisition. Remaining payments on these leases which expire in 1996 are
$5,695.
 
  E. Temporary Operating Permit
 
     New Age Broadcasting, Inc. is broadcasting from the facility in Miami,
Florida under the authority of a special temporary authorization granted by the
FCC. This authorization was necessary due to the destruction of the permanent
tower by Hurricane Andrew. This special temporary authorization expires on
February 14, 1996. Although an extension has not yet been granted and the
company has not returned to its original facility, management expects no
interruption in operations due to a construction permit granted by the FCC for a
new antenna and tower location and a pending application for a city of license
change which would allow WXDJ to remain at the existing temporary tower location
on a permanent basis.
 
  F. The companies have bank deposits of $74,537 at September 30, 1995 in excess
of federally insured limits. The companies at September 30, 1995 have $1,178,295
on deposit with the Merrill Lynch Institutional Fund (an uninsured fund).
 
  G. Litigation
 
     The Seventies Broadcasting Corporation is involved in a lawsuit over a
lease for office space occupied by the company when it acquired WRMA. Management
believes that the lease is unenforceable and the company has since relocated
from these premises. Management believes that it will prevail in this legal
action and has, accordingly, made no provision in the financial statements for
any amounts under the lease obligation.
 
7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     Affiliated companies will occasionally utilize the stations as part of
their promotional programming. Rates and terms for these spots are similar to
those offered to other customers. During the fiscal year, revenue from these
cash spots amounted to $273,680.

     The company has placed $100,000 in a restricted bank account to comply with

3.  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS
 
  A. Notes Payable, AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation
 
     A term note was secured on October 29, 1992 from AT&T Commercial Finance
Corporation in the original amount of $4,150,000. Monthly principal payments are
required under the loan agreements as follows:
 
<TABLE>
    <S>                                                                          <C>
    03/1/93 through 11/1/93....................................................  $40,000
    12/1/93 through 11/1/94....................................................   33,000
    12/1/94 through 11/1/95....................................................   36,000
    12/1/95 through 11/1/96....................................................   40,000
    12/1/96 through 10/1/97....................................................   44,000
</TABLE>
 
     The remaining balance of the debt is due in full on November 1, 1997.
 
     Interest is due monthly on the debt calculated at a rate based on the prime
rate plus two percent. At September 30, 1994 this rate was 9.75%.
 
     Substantially all corporate assets have been pledged to secure this
obligation. In addition, the stockholders have pledged their stock and have
given their personal guarantees to secure the obligation. The debt agreements
include stipulations limiting capital expenditures, compensation, investments
and dividends and for maintenance of a minimum level of working capital.
 
  B. Notes Payable, Transportation Equipment
 
     The company has secured financing for station vehicles in 1993 and 1994
from a local commercial bank. Forty-eight monthly payments of $742 are due
including interest. The debts are secured by the vehicles financed, as well as
by the personal guarantees of certain stockholders.
 
  C. Notes Payable, Stockholders
 
     Financing has been arranged from the stockholders on a demand basis. The
original amount of this financing was $3,510,000 with the related accrued,
unpaid interest amounting to $1,944,746 as of October 1, 1993. Due to
stipulations contained in the AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation loan
agreements described above, this debt and the related accrued, unpaid interest
has previously been classified as long term obligations of the company. By
agreement between the parties in fiscal year 1994, the company was permitted to
use excess cash to repay stockholder debt. As of September 30, 1994, $217,345
remained due to the stockholders and was repaid in October, 1994.
 
     D. The notes mature over the next three years as follows:

4.  INCOME TAXES
 
     Effective March 1, 1988, the company elected to be taxed under the
provisions of Subchapter S of the Internal Revenue Code and the State of Florida
Code with a fiscal year ending on September 30. Under these provisions, the
company does not pay federal or state corporate income taxes on its income. The
individual stockholders are liable for federal and state income taxes on their
respective shares of the company's taxable income.
 
     From inception to February 29, 1988, the company was taxed under provisions
of Chapter C of the code which taxes the company directly on its income. The
company had incurred net operating losses of $360,260, for tax purposes, which
are available to be carried over to offset taxable income in future years up to
2002 should "C" status be elected at some future date prior to 2002.
 
5.  CAPITAL STOCK
 
     The company is authorized to issue 1,000 shares of common stock with a par
value of $10. At the time of issuance, this stock is designated to be either
voting or nonvoting by action of the Board of Directors. On February 29, 1988,
the company issued and has outstanding 180 shares of common stock, which consist
of 49 voting shares and 131 nonvoting shares.
 
6.  COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
  A. Office Space Lease
 
     The company has secured office space in Miami, Florida under a lease which
commenced May 21, 1991. The company has exercised its second renewal option
under that lease for the period June 1, 1994 through May 31, 1996.
 
  B. Antenna Tower Lease
 
     The company has secured antenna tower space at a facility in Miami and is
currently operating at that site under a temporary FCC operating permit. The
lease covering these facilities is for a five-year period, with six five-year
renewal periods, commencing September 1, 1992 with monthly rents of $3,500 plus
sales tax.
 
     The antenna facility lease contains provisions allowing for the subletting
of the facility subject to typical landlord approval policies. The company is in
the process of obtaining a new site for its permanent transmitter facility. In
the event that the company relocates its antenna facility prior to the
expiration of the lease term, a duplicate rental payment would be expected if a
suitable replacement tenant cannot be located for the existing facility.
 
  C. Minimum rents are required under the above leases as follows:

    recorded. The terms of the lease agreement require the payment of 60 monthly
    installments of $141 including interest.
 
  E. Temporary Operating Permit
 
     The company is broadcasting from a facility in Miami, Florida under the
authority of a special temporary authorization granted by the FCC. This
authorization was necessary due to the destruction of the permanent tower by
Hurricane Andrew. This special temporary authorization expires on February 14,
1995. The company has filed an application of extension, which is being reviewed
by the FCC. Although an extension has not yet been granted and the company has
not returned to its original facility, management expects no interruption in
operations due to its continuing efforts in obtaining a permanent transmitter
facility.
 
  F.The company had bank deposits of $109,618 at September 30, 1994 in excess of
    federally insured limits.
 
7.  RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
     Affiliated companies will utilize the station as part of their promotional
programming from time to time. Rates and terms for these spots are similar to
those offered to other customers. During the fiscal year, these cash spots
amounted to $58,775 of gross billings.
 
8.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
     An agreement has been made by the owners of the corporation to acquire the
assets and operations of another radio station in the South Florida area. The
acquisition will actually be undertaken by a new corporation with identical
ownership as the company. It is expected that the acquisition financing
arrangements will involve a refinancing of the debt discussed in note 3A, with
the new loan balance secured by the assets of both companies.

                     CERTAIN UNITED STATES TAX CONSEQUENCES
                          TO NON-UNITED STATES HOLDERS
 
     The following general discussion is a summary of certain U.S. federal
income and estate tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of Class A
Common Stock applicable to Non-U.S. Holders of such Class A Common Stock who
acquire and own such Class A Common Stock as a capital asset within the meaning
of Section 1221 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code"). A "Non-U.S. Holder" is a person other than (i) a citizen or resident of
the United States, (ii) a corporation or partnership created or organized in the
United States or under the laws of the United States or of any state, or (iii)
an estate or trust whose income is includable in gross income for United States
federal income tax purposes regardless of its source. For purposes of the
withholding tax on dividends discussed below, a non-resident fiduciary of an
estate or trust will be considered a Non-U.S. Holder.
 
     This discussion does not consider specific facts and circumstances that may
be relevant to a particular Non-U.S. Holder's tax position and does not consider
U.S. state and local or non-U.S. tax consequences. This discussion also does not
consider the tax consequences to any person who is a stockholder, partner or
beneficiary of a holder of the Class A Common Stock. Further, it does not
consider Non-U.S. Holders subject to special tax treatment under the federal
income tax laws (including banks and insurance companies, dealers in securities,
and holders of securities held as part of a "straddle," hedge or "conversion
transaction").
 
     The following discussion is based on provisions of the Code, the applicable
Treasury regulations promulgated and proposed thereunder and judicial authority
and administrative interpretations as of the date hereof. The foregoing are
subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could
affect the continuing validity of this discussion.
 
     THE FOLLOWING SUMMARY IS INCLUDED HEREIN FOR GENERAL INFORMATION.
ACCORDINGLY, EACH PROSPECTIVE NON-U.S. HOLDER IS URGED TO CONSULT A TAX ADVISOR
WITH RESPECT TO UNITED STATES FEDERAL TAX CONSEQUENCES OF HOLDING AND DISPOSING
OF THE CLASS A COMMON STOCK, AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCES THAT MAY ARISE
UNDER THE LAWS OF ANY U.S. STATE, LOCAL OR OTHER U.S. OR NON-U.S. TAX
JURISDICTION.
 
DIVIDENDS
 
     In general, dividends paid to a Non-U.S. Holder of the Class A Common Stock
will be subject to withholding of U.S. federal income tax at a 30% rate unless
such rate is reduced by an applicable income tax treaty. Dividends that are
effectively connected with such holder's conduct of a trade or business in the
United States or, if a tax treaty applies, attributable to permanent
establishment, or, in the case of an individual, a "fixed base," in the United
States ("U.S. trade or business income") are generally subject to U.S. federal
income tax at regular rates, but are not generally subject to the 30%
withholding tax if the Non-U.S. Holder files the appropriate form with the
payor. Any U.S. trade or business income received by a Non-U.S. Holder that is a
corporation may also, under certain circumstances, be subject to an additional
"branch profits tax" at the 30% rate or such lower rate as may be applicable
under an income tax treaty.
 
     Dividends paid to an address in a foreign country are presumed (absent
actual knowledge to the contrary) to be paid to a resident of such country for
purposes of the withholding discussed above and, under the current
interpretation of U.S. Treasury regulations, for purposes of determining the
applicability of a tax treaty rate. Under proposed U.S. Treasury regulations not
currently in effect, however, a Non-U.S. Holder of the Class A Common Stock who
wishes to claim the benefit of an applicable treaty rate would be required to
satisfy applicable certification and other requirements, which would include the
requirement that the Non-U.S. Holder file a form which contains the holder's
name and address and an official statement by the competent authority in the
foreign country (as designated in the applicable tax treaty) attesting to the
holder's status as a resident thereof.
<PAGE>   179
 
                 [ALTERNATE PAGE FOR INTERNATIONAL PROSPECTUS]
 
     A Non-U.S. Holder of the Class A Common Stock that is eligible for a
reduced rate of U.S. withholding tax pursuant to an income treaty may obtain a
refund of any excess amounts currently withheld by filing an appropriate claim
for a refund with the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.
 
DISPOSITION OF COMMON STOCK
 
     Except as described below, a Non-U.S. Holder generally will not be subject
to U.S. federal income tax in respect of gain recognized on a disposition of
Class A Common Stock, provided that: (a) the gain is not U.S. trade or business
income, (b) the Non-U.S. Holder is not an individual who is present in the
United States for 183 or more days in the taxable year of the disposition and
who meets certain other requirements, (c) the Non-U.S. Holder is not subject to
tax pursuant to the provisions of the U.S. tax laws applicable to certain United
States expatriates and (d) either the Company is not a "U.S. real property
holding corporation" for federal income tax purposes or (i) the Class A Common
Stock is "regularly traded on an established securities market" (within the
meaning of the relevant provisions of the Code) and (ii) the Non-U.S. Holder has
not held, directly or indirectly, at any time during the 5-year period ending on
the date of disposition, more than 5% of the Class A Common Stock. The Company
believes that it is not now and has not been within the past five years, and
anticipates that it will not become, a U.S. real property holding corporation
for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
 
FEDERAL ESTATE TAXES
 
     In general, an individual who is a Non-U.S. Holder for U.S. estate tax
purposes will incur liability for U.S. federal estate tax if the fair market
value of the property included in such individual's taxable estate for U.S.
federal estate tax purposes exceeds the statutory threshold amount. For these
purposes, Class A Common Stock owned or treated as owned by an individual who is
a Non-U.S. Holder at the time of death will be included in the individual's
taxable estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes, unless an applicable estate
tax treaty provides otherwise.
 
U.S. INFORMATION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND BACKUP WITHHOLDING TAX
 
     The Company must report annually to the Internal Revenue Service and to
each Non-U.S. Holder the amount of dividends paid to, and the tax withheld with
respect to, each Non-U.S. Holder. These reporting requirements apply whether or
not withholding was reduced or eliminated by an applicable tax treaty. Copies of
these information returns may also be made available under the provisions of a
specific treaty or agreement to the tax authorities in the country in which the
Non-U.S. Holder resides. The United States backup withholding tax (which
generally is a withholding tax imposed at the rate of 31% on certain payments to
persons that fail to furnish the information required under the United States
information reporting requirements) will generally not apply to dividends paid
on the Class A Common Stock to a Non-U.S. Holder at an address outside the
United States.
 
     Except as provided below, Non-U.S. Holders will not be subject to
information reporting or backup withholding with respect to the payment of
proceeds from the disposition of the Class A Common Stock effected by the
Non-U.S. office of a broker. However, if the broker is a U.S. person or a U.S.
related person, information reporting (but not backup withholding) would apply
unless the broker has documentary evidence in its records as to the Non-U.S.
Holder's Non-U.S. status, or the Non-U.S. Holder certifies as to its Non-U.S.
status under penalty of perjury or otherwise establishes an exemption. For this
purpose, a "U.S. related person" is (i) a "controlled foreign corporation" for
U.S. federal income tax purposes, or (ii) a Non-U.S. person 50% or more of whose
gross income from all sources for the three-year period ending with the close of
its taxable year preceding the payment (or for such part of the period that the
broker has been in existence) is derived from activities that are effectively
connected with the conduct of a U.S. trade or business.
 
     Non-U.S. Holders will be subject to information and backup withholding at a
rate of 31% with respect to the payment of proceeds from the disposition of the
Class A Common Stock effected by or through
<PAGE>   180
 
the United States office of a broker, U.S. or Non-U.S., unless the Non-U.S.
Holder certifies as to its Non-U.S. status under penalty of perjury or otherwise
establishes an exemption.
 
     Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules from a payment to a
Non-U.S. Holder will be allowed as a credit against such Non-U.S. Holder's U.S.
federal income tax, and any amounts withheld in excess of such Non-U.S. Holder's
federal income tax liability would be refunded, provided that the required
information is furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

ITEM 14.  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 9 of the
Underwriting Agreement (U.S.) (see Exhibit 1.1 hereof) and Section 9 of the
Underwriting Agreement (International) (see Exhibit 1.2 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 15.  RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES.
 
     The Company was incorporated on November 15, 1993. Since that date, the
Company has issued and sold the following unregistered securities:
 
          (1) On December 15, 1993, the Company entered into a Consolidation
     Agreement with various entities beneficially owned by the Company's current
     Chief Executive Officer, Lowell W. Paxson, which resulted in the issuance
     of 1,081 shares of common stock to Second Crystal Diamond, LP ("Second
     Crystal") and 119 shares to Paxson Enterprises, Inc. ("PEI"), two entities
     beneficially owned by Mr. Paxson.

          (2) On November 15, 1993, the Company issued 1,000 shares of 15%

     Partners, L.P., Sandler Mezzanine T-H Partners, L.P. and National Union
     Fire Insurance Company (collectively, the "Sandler Group"). Such preferred
     stock and warrants were issued for an aggregate purchase price of
     $14,000,000. See Exhibit 10.2.
 
          (3) On December 22, 1994, the Company issued 714.286 shares of Series
     B 15% Cumulative Compounding Redeemable Preferred Stock to the Sandler
     Group in exchange for the termination of 94.6223 of their warrants issued
     on December 15, 1995, pursuant to an Exchange and Consent Agreement dated
     as of December 22, 1994 by and among the Company and the Sandler Group. See
     Exhibit 10.5.
 
   
          (4) On December 22, 1994, the Company issued 33,000 shares of Senior
     Cumulative Compounding Redeemable Preferred Stock to BT Investment
     Partners, Inc., First Union Corporation of Virginia, Paribas North America,
     Inc. and Union Venture Corporation, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement
     dated as of December 22, 1995, by and among the Company and such
     purchasers. In connection therewith, the Company also issued such parties
     warrants to purchase 3,235,753 shares of Class C Common Stock. The issuance
     of such preferred stock and warrants was in consideration for an aggregate
     purchase price of $33,000,000. See Exhibit 10.3.
    
 
          (5) On April 1, 1995, the Company issued 94,767 shares of Class A
     Common Stock to Plymouth County Retirement Association ("Plymouth")
     pursuant to an Agreement to Dissolve Limited Partnership, pursuant to which
     Plymouth's interest in a limited partnership controlled by the Company was
     effectively exchanged for such shares.
 
          (6) On September 28, 1995, the company issued $230,000,000 in
     principal amount of its 11 5/8% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003,
     pursuant to a Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of September 28, 1995
     between the Company, its subsidiaries and the initial purchasers thereof.
 
     The issuance of all of the securities described above are deemed to be
exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in
reliance on Section 4(2) thereunder, as transactions by an issuer not involving
a public offering. The recipients of such securities represented their
intentions to acquire these securities for investments only and not with a view
to or for sale in connection with any distribution thereof, and appropriate
legends were affixed to the securities issued in such transactions.

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.

International Warrants, the "International Warrants") to purchase [      ]
shares of Class A Common Stock (the "Additional International Warrant Shares"
and, together with the Firm International Warrant Shares, the "International

United States and Canada (the "Managers"), for whom Smith Barney Inc.,
PaineWebber International (U.K.) Ltd., CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Corp. and

                 The Company and the Selling Securityholders understand that

ment (as hereinafter defined).  The Shares and the Warrant Shares are
hereinafter referred to as the "Offered Shares."

                 The Company and the Selling Securityholders also understand
that the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers have entered into an agreement (the
"Agreement Between U.S. Underwriters and Managers") contemplating the
coordination of certain transactions between the U.S. Underwriters and the
Managers and that, pursuant thereto and subject to the conditions set forth
therein, the U.S. Underwriters may purchase from the Managers a portion of the
International Securities or sell to the Managers a portion of the U.S.
Securities.  The Company understands that any such purchases and sales between
the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers shall be governed by the Agreement
Between U.S. Underwriters and Managers and shall not be governed by the terms
of this Agreement or the International Underwriting Agreement.

                 The Company and the Selling Securityholders wish to confirm as
follows their respective agreements with you (the "Representatives") and the
other several U.S. Underwriters on whose behalf you are acting, in connection
with the several purchases of the U.S. Securities by the U.S. Underwriters.

                 1.       Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company
has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the "Act") a registration statement on Form S- 1 under the Act
(the "Registration Statement"), including prospectuses subject to completion
relating to the Offered Shares.  The term "Registration Statement" as used in
this Agreement means the Registration Statement (including all financial
schedules and exhibits) and any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule
462(b) under the Act, each as amended at the time it becomes effective, or, if
the Registration Statement became effective prior to the  execution of this
Agreement, as supplemented or amended prior to the execution of this Agreement.
If it is contemplated, at the time this Agreement is executed, that a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement will be filed and must
be declared effective before the offering of the Offered Shares may commence,
the term "Registration Statement" as used in this Agreement means the
Registration Statement as amended by said post-effective amendment.  The term
"Prospectuses" as used in this Agreement means the prospectuses in the forms
included in the Registration Statement (including any prospectus subject to
completion meeting the requirements of Rule 434(b) under the Act), or, if the
prospectuses included in the Registration Statement omit informa-
<PAGE>   5

                                      -4-



tion in reliance on Rule 430A under the Act and such information is included in
the prospectuses or term sheets (within the meaning of Rule 434 under the Act)
filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act, the term
"Prospectuses" as used in this Agreement means the prospectuses in the form
included in the Registration Statement as supplemented by the addition of the
Rule 430A information contained in the prospectuses or term sheets (within the
meaning of Rule 434 under the Act) filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule
424(b).  The term "Prepricing Prospectuses" as used in this Agreement means the
prospectuses subject to completion in the forms included in the Registration
Statement at the time of the initial filing of the Registration Statement with
the Commission or in any amendment to the Registration Statement filed with the
Commission, and as such prospectuses shall have been amended from time to time
prior to the date of the Prospectuses.

                 It is understood that two forms of Prepricing Prospectus and
two forms of Prospectus are to be used in connection with the offering and sale
of the Offered Shares:  a Prepricing Prospectus and a Prospectus relating to
the U.S. Shares and the U.S. Warrant Shares that are to be offered and sold in
the United States (as defined herein) or Canada (as defined herein) to U.S. or
Canadian Persons (as defined herein) (the "U.S. Prepricing Prospectus" and the
"U.S. Prospectus," respectively), and a Prepricing Prospectus and a Prospectus
relating to the International Shares and the International Warrant Shares which
are to be offered and sold outside the United States and Canada to persons
other than U.S. or Canadian Persons (the "International Prepricing Prospectus"
and the "International Prospectus," respectively).  The U.S. Prospectus and the
International Prospectus are herein collectively called the "Prospectuses," and
the U.S. Prepricing Prospectus and the International Prepricing Prospectus are
herein called the "Prepricing Prospectuses."  For purposes of this Agreement:
"Rules and  Regulations" means the rules and regulations adopted by the
Commission under the Act; "U.S. or Canadian Person" means any resident or
national of the United States or Canada, any corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or Canada
or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States or
Canadian income taxation regardless of the source of its income (other than the
foreign branch of any  U.S. or Canadian Person), and includes any United States
or Canadian branch of a person other than a U.S. or Canadian Person; "United
States" means the United States of America (including the states thereof and
the District of Columbia) and its territories, its possessions and other areas
subject to its jurisdiction; and
<PAGE>   6

                                      -5-



"Canada" means Canada and its territories, its possessions and other areas
subject to its jurisdiction.

                 2.       Agreements to Sell and Purchase.  Subject to such
adjustments as you may determine in order to avoid fractional shares, the
Company hereby agrees, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth
herein, to issue and sell to each U.S. Underwriter and, upon the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Selling
Securityholders and the U.S. Underwriters herein contained and subject to all
the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Underwriter, severally and
not jointly, agrees to purchase from the Company, at a purchase price of $[
] per share (the "purchase price per share"), the number of Firm Shares which
bears the same proportion to the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be issued
and sold by the Company as the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the
name of such U.S. Underwriter in Schedule II hereto (or such number of Firm
Shares increased as set forth in Section 12 hereof) bears to the aggregate
number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company and the Selling Securityholders
(with respect to each U.S. Underwriter, such U.S. Underwriter's "Pro Rata
Share").  The Company agrees, upon receipt of the exercise price of the Firm
Warrants and surrender of the certificates, if any, representing such Firm
Warrants, to issue to the U.S. Underwriters the Firm Warrant Shares.

                 Subject to such adjustments as you may determine in order to
avoid fractional shares or warrants, each Selling Securityholder hereby agrees,
severally and not jointly, and subject to all the terms and conditions set
forth herein, to sell to each U.S. Underwriter and, upon the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Selling
Securityholders and the U.S. Underwriters herein contained and subject to all
the terms and conditions set forth herein, each U.S. Underwriter, severally and
not jointly, agrees to purchase from each Selling Securityholder (i) that
number of Firm Shares, if any, set forth opposite such Selling Securityholder's
name on Part A of Schedule I hereto multiplied by each such U.S. Underwriter's
Pro Rata Share at the purchase price per share and (ii) that number of Firm
Warrants, if any, set forth opposite such Selling Securityholder's name on Part
B of Schedule I hereto multiplied by each such U.S. Underwriter's Pro Rata
Share at the warrant purchase price.  "Warrant purchase price" for any Warrant
means the excess of (i) the purchase price per share multiplied by the number
of Warrant Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrant over (ii) the
exercise price of such Warrant.

of Schedule I hereto also agree, severally and not jointly, and subject to all
the terms and conditions set forth herein, to sell to the U.S. Underwriters
and, upon the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the
Company, the Selling Securityholders and the U.S. Underwriters herein contained
and subject to all the terms and conditions set forth herein, the U.S.
Underwriters shall have the right to purchase from the Company and the Selling
Securityholders listed in Part C of Schedule I hereto, at the purchase price
per share in the case of any Additional Shares and at the warrant purchase
price in the case of any Additional Warrants, pursuant to an option (the
"over-allotment option") which may be exercised at any time and from time to
time prior to 9:00 P.M., New York City time, on the 30th day after the date of
the U.S. Prospectus (or, if such 30th day shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a
holiday, on the next business day thereafter when the American Stock Exchange
is open for trading), that number of Additional Shares and Additional Warrants,
if any, set forth opposite their respective names in Part C of Schedule I.
Additional Shares and Additional Warrants may be purchased only for the purpose
of covering over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm
Shares and the Firm Warrant Shares.  The Additional Shares and Additional
Warrants which the U.S. Underwriters elect to purchase upon any exercise of the
over-allotment option shall be provided (i) by the Company in the form of
Additional Shares equal to the number of Additional Shares set forth opposite
its name on Part C of Schedule I hereto multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
of which is the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock which the
U.S. Underwriters elect to purchase (either directly through the purchase of
Additional Shares or indirectly through the purchase and subsequent exercise of
Additional Warrants) and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of
Additional Shares and Additional Warrant Shares (such fraction, the "Purchased
Percentage") and (ii) by each Selling Securityholder in the form of Additional
Shares and/or Additional Warrants determined by multiplying the number of
Additional Shares and/or Additional Warrant Shares that would be issued upon
the exercise of such Selling Securityholder's Additional Warrants, each as set
forth opposite such Selling Securityholder's name on Part C of Schedule I
hereto by the Purchased Percentage.  Upon any exercise of the over-allotment
option, each U.S. Underwriter, severally and not jointly, agrees to (i)
purchase from the Company and each Selling Securityholder who has agreed to
sell Additional Shares that number of Additional Shares to be sold by the
Company or such Selling Securityholder determined pursuant to the preceding
sentence multiplied by each such U.S. Underwriter's Pro Rata Share and (ii)
purchase from each Selling Securityholder who has
<PAGE>   8

                                      -7-



agreed to sell Additional Warrants that number of Additional Warrants to be
sold by the Company or such Selling Securityholder determined pursuant to the
preceding sentence multiplied by each such U.S. Underwriter's Pro Rata Share.
The Company agrees, upon receipt of the exercise price of the Additional
Warrants and surrender of the certificates, if any, representing such
Additional Warrants, to issue to the U.S. Underwriters the Additional Warrant
Shares.

                 Certificates in transferable form for the U.S. Shares and the
U.S. Warrants which each of the Selling Securityholders agrees to sell pursuant
to this Agreement [(other than Shares issuable upon the exercise of options)]
have been placed in custody with First Union National Bank of North Carolina
(the "Custodian") for delivery under this Agreement pursuant to a Custody
Agreement and Power of Attorney (collectively, the "Custody Agreement")
executed by each of the Selling Securityholders appointing Arthur D. Tek and
Anthony L. Morrison as agents and attorneys-in-fact (the "Attorneys-in-Fact").
With respect to Shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options held by
certain of the Selling Securityholders, the Selling Securityholders holding
such options have deposited with the Custodian irrevocable option exercise and
payment direction letters in form and substance satisfactory to the
Representatives.  Each Selling Securityholder agrees, severally and not
jointly, that (i) the U.S. Shares and the U.S. Warrants represented by the
certificates deposited by such Selling Securityholder in custody pursuant to
the Custody Agreement are subject to the interests of the U.S. Underwriters,
the Company and each other Selling Securityholder, (ii) the arrangements made
by such Selling Securityholder for such custody are, except as specifically
provided in the Custody Agreement, irrevocable, and (iii) to the extent that
such Selling Securityholder can, by reliance on this clause (iii), vary the
provisions of any applicable law, the obligations of such Selling
Securityholder hereunder and under the Custody Agreement shall not be
terminated by any act of such Selling Securityholder or by operation of law,
whether upon the death or incapacity of any Selling Securityholder or the
occurrence of any other event, except as specifically provided in the Custody
Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the Custody Agreement, if
any Selling Securityholder shall die or be incapacitated or if any other event
referred to in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding sentence shall occur
before the delivery of the U.S. Shares and the U.S. Warrants hereunder,
certificates for the U.S. Shares and the U.S. Warrants of such Selling
Securityholder shall be delivered to the U.S. Underwriters by the
Attorneys-in-Fact in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement
and the Custody Agreement
<PAGE>   9

                                      -8-



as if such death or incapacity or other event had not occurred, regardless of
whether or not the Attorneys-in-Fact or any U.S. Underwriter shall have
received notice of such death, incapacity or other event.  To the extent
specifically provided in the Custody Agreement, each Attorney-in-Fact is
authorized, on behalf of such Selling Securityholder, to execute this Agreement
and certain other documents in connection with the sale of the U.S. Shares and
the U.S. Warrants to be sold hereunder by such Selling Securityholder including
acknowledging, on behalf of such Selling Securityholder, receipt of the
proceeds from the sale of the U.S. Shares and the U.S. Warrants.  Each
Attorney-in-Fact agrees to perform his duties under the Custody Agreement.

                 Each U.S. Underwriter represents, warrants, covenants and
agrees that, except as contemplated under Section 2 of the Agreement Between
U.S. Underwriters and Managers dated the date hereof, (i) it is not purchasing
any Shares or Warrants for the account of anyone other than a U.S. or Canadian
Person, (ii) it has not offered or sold, and will not offer, sell, resell or
deliver, directly or indirectly, any Shares or Warrants or distribute any U.S.
Prospectus outside the United States or Canada or to anyone other than a U.S.
or Canadian Person and (iii) any offer of Shares or Warrants in Canada will be
made only pursuant to an exemption from the requirement to file a prospectus in
the relevant province of Canada in which such offer is made.

                 3.       Terms of Public Offering.  The Sellers have been
advised by you that the U.S. Underwriters propose to make a public offering of
their respective portions of the Offered Shares as soon after the Registration
Statement and this Agreement have become effective as in your judgment is
advisable and initially to offer such Offered Shares upon the terms set forth
in the U.S. Prospectus.

                 4.       Delivery of the Securities and Payment Therefor.
Delivery to the U.S. Underwriters of and payment for the Firm Securities shall
be made at the office of Smith Barney Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, NY

Date"), which may be the same as the Closing Date but shall in no event be

business days after the giving of the notice hereinafter referred to, as shall
be specified in a written notice from you on behalf of the U.S. Underwriters to
the Company and the Attorneys-in-Fact of the U.S. Underwriters' determination
to purchase a number, specified in such notice, of Additional Securities.  The
place of closing for any Additional Securities and the Option Closing Date for
such Additional Securities may be varied by agreement among you, the Company
and the Attorneys-in-Fact.

                 Certificates for the Firm Shares and the Firm Warrant Shares
and for any Additional Shares and any Additional Warrant Shares to be purchased
hereunder (or acquired upon the exercise of Warrants purchased hereunder) shall
be registered in such names and in such denominations as you shall request
prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on the second business day preceding
the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date, as the case may be.  Such
certificates shall be made available to you in New York City for inspection and
packaging not later than 9:30 A.M., New York City time, on the business day
next preceding the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be.
The certificates evidencing the Firm Shares and the Firm Warrant Shares and any
Additional Shares and any Additional Warrant Shares to be purchased hereunder

delivered to you on the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case
may be, against payment of the purchase price therefor by certified or official
bank check or checks payable in New York Clearing House (next day) funds to the
order of the Company or the Attorneys-in-Fact, as the case may be.

                 5.       Agreements of the Company.  The Company agrees with 
the several U.S. Underwriters as follows:

                 (a)      If, at the time this Agreement is executed and
         delivered, it is necessary for the Registration Statement or a
         post-effective amendment thereto to be declared effective before the
         offering of the Offered Shares may commence, the Company will endeavor
         to cause the Registration Statement or such post-effective amendment
         to become effective as soon as possible and will advise you promptly
         and, if requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing, when
         the Registration Statement or such post-effective amendment has become
         effective.
<PAGE>   11

                                      -10-



                 (b)      The Company will advise you promptly and, if
         requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing:  (i) of any
         request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the
         Registration Statement, any of the Prepricing Prospectuses or the
         Prospectuses or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by
         the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the
         Offered Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the
         initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) within the
         period of time referred to in the first sentence of paragraph (f) of
         this Section 5, of any change in the Company's or any of its
         subsidiaries' condition (financial or other), business, prospects,
         properties, net worth or results of operations, or of the happening of
         any event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (as then amended or
         supplemented) untrue or which requires the making of any additions to
         or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (as then
         amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by
         the Act or the regulations thereunder to be stated therein or
         necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or
         of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectuses (as then
         amended or supplemented) to comply with the Act or any other law.  If
         at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the
         effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will use its
         best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest
         possible time.

                 (c)      The Company will furnish to you, without charge, five
         signed copies of the registration statement as originally filed with
         the Commission and of each amendment thereto, including financial
         statements and all exhibits thereto, and will also furnish to you,
         without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration
         statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, but
         without exhibits, as you may reasonably request.

                 (d)      The Company will not (i) file any amendment to the
         Registration Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the
         Prospectuses (including by way of issuance and filing under the Act of
         any term sheet within the meaning of Rule 434 under the Act) of which
         you shall not previously have been advised or to which you shall
         reasonably object within a reasonable period of time after being so
         advised or (ii) during such period as, in the reasonable opinion of
         counsel for the U.S. Underwriters, a prospectus is required
<PAGE>   12

                                      -11-



         to be delivered in connection with sales by any U.S. Underwriter or
         dealer, file any information, documents or reports pursuant to the
         Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"),
         without delivering a copy of such information, documents or reports to
         you, as Representatives of the U.S. Underwriters, prior to or
         concurrently with such filing.

                 (e)      Prior to the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement, the Company has delivered to you, without charge, in such
         quantities as you have reasonably requested, copies of each form of
         the U.S. Prepricing Prospectus.  The Company consents to the use, in
         accordance with the provisions of the Act and with the securities or
         Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Offered Shares are
         offered by the several U.S.  Underwriters and by dealers, prior to the
         date of the U.S. Prospectus, of each U.S. Prepricing Prospectus so
         furnished by the Company.

                 (f)      As soon after the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement as possible and thereafter from time to time for such period
         as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the U.S. Underwriters a
         prospectus is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with
         sales of Offered Shares by any U.S. Underwriter or dealer, the Company
         will expeditiously deliver to each U.S. Underwriter, without charge,
         as many copies of the U.S. Prospectus (and of any amendment or
         supplement thereto) as you may reasonably request.  The Company
         consents to the use of the U.S. Prospectus (and of any amendment or
         supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Act and
         with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the
         Offered Shares are offered by the several U.S. Underwriters and by all
         dealers to whom Offered Shares may be sold, both in connection with
         the offering and sale of the Offered Shares and for such period of
         time thereafter as the U.S.  Prospectus is required by the Act to be
         delivered in connection with sales by any U.S. Underwriter or dealer.
         If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the
         judgment of the Company or in the opinion of counsel for the U.S.
         Underwriters is required to be set forth in the U.S. Prospectus (as
         then amended or supplemented) or should be set forth therein in order
         to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances
         under which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to
         supplement or amend the U.S.  Prospectus in order to comply with the
         Act or any other law, the Company will forthwith prepare and, subject
         to the provisions of paragraph (d) above, file with the Commission an
<PAGE>   13

                                      -12-



         appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and will expeditiously
         furnish to the U.S. Underwriters as many copies thereof as they may
         reasonably request.  In the event that the Company and you, as
         Representatives of the several U.S. Underwriters, agree that the U.S.
         Prospectus should be amended or supplemented, the Company, if
         requested by you, will promptly issue a press release announcing or
         disclosing the matters to be covered by the proposed amendment or
         supplement.

                 (g)      The Company will cooperate with you and with counsel
         for the U.S. Underwriters in connection with the registration or
         qualification of the Offered Shares for offering and sale by the
         several U.S.  Underwriters and by dealers under the securities or Blue 
         Sky laws of such jurisdictions as you may designate and will file such
         consents to service of process or other documents necessary or
         appropriate in order to effect such registration or qualification;
         provided that in no event shall the Company be obligated to qualify to
         do business in any jurisdiction where it is not now so qualified or to
         take any action which would subject it to service of process in suits,
         other than those arising out of the offering or sale of the Offered
         Shares, in any jurisdiction where it is not now so subject.

                 (h)      The Company will make generally available to its
         security holders a consolidated earning statement, which need not be
         audited, covering a twelve-month period commencing after the effective
         date of the Registration Statement and ending not later than 15 months
         thereafter, as soon as practicable after the end of such period, which
         consolidated earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
         11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder.

                 (i)      During the period of five years hereafter, the
         Company will furnish to you promptly after available, a copy of each
         report of the Company mailed to common stockholders or filed with the
         Commission or the American Stock Exchange (unless the Company has, in
         good faith, requested confidential treatment with respect to such
         filing).

                 (j)      If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be
         terminated after execution pursuant to any provisions hereof
         (otherwise than pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 12 hereof
         or by notice given by you terminating this Agreement pursuant to
         Section 12 or Section 13 hereof) or if this Agreement shall be
         terminated by the U.S. Underwriters
<PAGE>   14

                                      -13-



         because of any failure or refusal on the part of the Company or the
         Selling Securityholders to comply with the terms or fulfill any of the
         conditions of this Agreement, the Company agrees to reimburse the
         Representatives for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including
         reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the U.S.  Underwriters)
         incurred by you in connection herewith.

                 (k)      The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale
         of the Offered Shares to be sold by it hereunder substantially in
         accordance with the description set forth in the Prospectuses.

                 (l)      If Rule 430A of the Act is employed, the Company will
         timely file the Prospectuses pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and
         will advise you of the time and manner of such filing.

                 (m)      Except as provided in this Agreement and the
         International Underwriting Agreement, the Company will not sell, offer
         to sell, solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell, grant any option   
         to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any common stock of
         the Company (the "Common Stock") or any securities convertible into or
         exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, for a period of 180 days
         after the date of the Prospectuses, without the prior written consent
         of Smith Barney Inc; provided, however, that the Company may (i)
         repurchase from Selling Securityholders Common Stock or securities
         convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii)
         issue Common Stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants
         or upon the exercise of options granted under the Company's existing
         stock option grants or plans or the proposed stock option plan to be
         adopted by the Company as described in the Prospectuses, (iii) issue
         Class A Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of existing shares of
         another class of Common Stock, (iv) grant an option, and permit the
         exercise thereof, with respect to 75,000 shares of Class A Common
         Stock to John Casey or his designee and (v) issue shares of Common
         Stock as consideration for the acquisition of additional broadcast
         assets provided that in the case of this clause (v), the entity or
         individual receiving such shares agrees in writing to be bound by the
         terms of a lock-up letter with terms substantially similar to those
         referred to in clause (n) below.

                 (n)      Except as stated in this Agreement and in the
         International Underwriting Agreement and in the Prepricing
<PAGE>   15

                                      -14-



         Prospectuses and Prospectuses, the Company has not taken, nor will it
         take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result
         in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any of the Company's
         capital stock (the "Capital Stock") to facilitate the sale or resale
         of the Offered Shares.

                 (o)      The Company will use its best efforts to have the
         Offered Shares listed, subject to issuance, on the American Stock
         Exchange on or before the Closing Date.

                 6.       Agreements of the Selling Securityholders.  Each of
the Selling Securityholders, severally and not jointly, agrees with the
several U.S. Underwriters as follows:

                 (a)      Such Selling Securityholder will use reasonable
         efforts to cooperate to the extent reasonably necessary to cause the
         Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto to
         become effective at the earliest possible time, to the extent that
         such effectiveness is contingent upon an action to be taken by such
         Selling Securityholder.

                 (b)      On the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as
         the case may be, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income
         taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and
         transfer hereunder to the several U.S. Underwriters by such Selling
         Securityholder of the Shares or Warrants to be sold by such Selling
         Securityholder to the several Underwriters hereunder on such date will
         have been paid or provided for by such Selling Securityholder.

                 (c)  Except as provided in this Agreement and in the 
         International Underwriting Agreement, such Selling Securityholder 
         will not sell, offer to sell, solicit an offer to buy, contract to 
         sell, grant any option to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose 
         of any Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable 
         or exchangeable for Common Stock, for a period of 180 days after the 
         date of the Prospectuses, without the prior written consent of Smith 
         Barney Inc; provided, however, that such Selling Securityholder may (i)
         transfer shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
         exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to (x) the Company, (y)
         any other Selling Securityholder who is bound by the terms of this
         paragraph (c) or (z) to any Affiliate of any Selling Securityholder if
         such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this
         paragraph (c) or (ii) exercise, exchange or convert stock
<PAGE>   16

                                      -15-



         options, warrants, convertible securities or other rights entitling
         such Selling Securityholder to receive shares of Common Stock or
         convert or exchange shares of one class of Common Stock into shares of
         a different class of Common Stock, with all the shares of Common Stock
         received upon any such exercise, exchange or conversion being subject
         to the terms of this paragraph (c).

                 (d)      Except as stated in this Agreement and the
         International Underwriting Agreement and in the Prepricing
         Prospectuses and the Prospectuses, such Selling Securityholder has not
         taken, nor will it take, directly or indirectly, any action designed
         to cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of
         any Capital Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered
         Shares (it being understood that this paragraph (d) shall not apply to
         any stabilization efforts of any affiliate of such Selling
         Securityholder who is a U.S. Underwriter or Manager).

                 (e)      Such Selling Securityholder will advise you promptly,
         and if requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing, within
         the period of time referred to in the first sentence of paragraph (f)

                 (d)  The warrant agreements governing the Warrants (the
         "Warrant Agreements") have been duly and validly authorized by the
         Company, and the Warrant Agreements have been duly executed and

         exercise price for the Warrants is $.001 per Warrant.

                 (f)  The Warrant Shares have been validly reserved for
         issuance; when issued, the Warrant Shares will be duly authorized,

         Material Adverse Effect; all the outstanding shares of capital stock
         of each Subsidiary which is a corporation have been duly authorized
         and validly issued and are fully paid and nonassessable; all of the
         outstanding shares of capital stock or outstanding partnership
         interests of the Subsidiaries are owned by the Company directly, or
         indirectly through one of the other Subsidiaries, and, other than as
         set forth in the Prospectuses, are owned free and clear of any lien,
         adverse claim, security interest, equity or other encumbrance.

                 (i)      There are no legal or governmental proceedings
         pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, against the

         administrative or governmental rule or regulation applicable to the
         Company or any of the Subsidiaries or of any decree of any court or

         any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any bond,
         debenture, note or any other evidence of indebtedness or in any
         material agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which the
         Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them
         or any of their respective properties may be bound, except as would
         not (individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (k)      Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and
         the Prospectuses, neither the issuance and sale of the Offered Shares,
         the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement or the other

         Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto) nor the consummation by
         the Company or the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto) of the
         transactions contemplated hereby or thereby (i) requires any consent,
         approval, authorization or other order of or registration or filing

         required for the registration of the Offered Shares under the Act and
         compliance with the securities or Blue Sky and other laws of various
         jurisdictions and countries, all of which have been or will be
         effected in accordance with this Agreement and (B) as would not

         conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute a
         breach of, or a default under, the certificate or articles of
         incorporation or by-laws, or other organizational documents, of the
         Company or any of the Subsidiaries or (ii) conflicts or will conflict
         with or constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default
         under, any agreement, indenture, lease or other instrument to which
         the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of
         them or any of their respective properties may be bound, or violates
         or will violate any statute, law, regulation or filing or judgment,
         injunction, order or decree applicable to the Company or any of the
         Subsidiaries or any of their respective properties, or will result in
         the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon any
         property or assets of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries pursuant
         to the terms of any agreement or instrument to which any of them is a
         party or by which any of them may be bound or to which any of the
         property or assets of any of them is subject, except as would not

                 (l)      Each of Price Waterhouse LLP and Voynow, Bayard and
         Company, who have certified or shall certify the financial statements
         included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (or any
         amendment or supplement thereto), are independent public accountants
         as required by the Act.

                 (m)      The financial statements of the Company and the
         Subsidiaries, together with related schedules and notes, included in
         the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (and any amendment or
         supplement thereto) present fairly the consolidated financial
         position, results of operations and changes in financial position of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries on the basis stated in the
         Registration Statement and the Prospectuses at the respective dates or
         for the respective periods to which they apply; such statements and
         related schedules and notes have been prepared in accordance with
         generally accepted accounting principles consistently applied
         throughout the periods involved, except as disclosed therein; and the
         other  financial and statistical information and data included in the
         Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (and any amendment or
         supplement thereto) are accurately presented and prepared on a basis
         consistent with such financial statements and the books and records of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries.

                 (n)      The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
         statements and other pro forma financial information (including the

         Commission's rules and guidelines with respect to pro forma financial
         statements; and (D) have been properly computed on the bases described

         financial statements and other pro forma condensed consolidated
         financial information included in the Registration Statement and the
         Prospectuses are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are
         appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances
         referred to therein.

                 (o)      The execution and delivery of, and the performance by
         the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement have been duly
         and validly authorized by the Company, and this

         constitutes the valid and legally binding agreement of the Company,
         enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms except

         similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
         generally, and to general principles of equity and the discretion of
         the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought and (ii)
         as any rights to indemnity or contribution hereunder may be limited by
         applicable securities laws and public policy considerations.

         the Company and the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto) of
         each of its obligations under, each agreement or instrument executed
         or delivered in connection with the Proposed Acquisitions (as defined
         in the Prospectuses), the exercise of the Station Options (as defined
         in the Prospectuses) and the termination of the put option on the
         Company's Class A and Class B Common Stock warrants  (collectively,
         the "Transaction Documents"), other than this Agreement, have been
         duly and validly authorized by the Company and the Subsidiaries (to
         the extent a party thereto), and such Transaction Documents have been
         duly executed and delivered by the Company and the Subsidiaries (to
         the extent a party thereto) and constitute the valid and legally
         binding agreement of the Company and the Subsidiaries (to the extent a
         party thereto), enforceable against them in accordance with their
         terms, except that the enforcement thereof may be subject to (i)

         to creditors' rights generally, and (ii) to general principles of
         equity and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding
         therefor may be brought.

                 (q)      Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and
         the Prospectuses (or any amendment or supplement thereto), subsequent
         to the respective dates as of which such information is given in the
         Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (or any amendment or
         supplement thereto), neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries
         has incurred any liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, or
         entered into any transaction, not in the ordinary course of business,
         that is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
         and there has not been any change in the capital stock (other than as
         contemplated by the Under-

         or plans described in the Prospectuses), or material increase in the
         short-term debt or long-term debt, of the Company or any of the
         Subsidiaries, or any material adverse change, or any development
         involving or which may reasonably be expected to involve, a
         prospective material adverse change, in the condition (financial or
         other), business, properties, net worth or results of operations of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

                 (r)      Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has good and
         marketable title to all property (real and personal) described in the
         Prospectuses as being owned by it which is material to the business of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, free and clear of
         all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances except
         such as are described in the Registration Statement and the
         Prospectuses or would not (individually or in the aggregate) have a
         Material Adverse Effect and all property described in the Registration
         Statement (including exhibits thereto) and the Prospectuses as being
         held  under lease by each of the Company and the Subsidiaries which is
         material to the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as
         a whole, is held by it under binding leases that are in force and
         effect.

                 (s)      The Company has not distributed and, prior to the
         later to occur of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) completion of the
         distribution of the Shares, will not distribute any offering material
         in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Shares other
         than the Registration Statement, the Prepricing Prospectuses, the
         Prospectuses or other materials, if any, permitted by the Act.

                 (t)      The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have such
         permits, licenses, franchises and authorizations of governmental or
         regulatory authorities, including, without limitation, permits,
         licenses, franchises and authorizations from the United States Federal
         Communications Commission (the "FCC") ("Permits"), as are necessary to
         own their respective properties and to conduct their business in the
         manner described in the Prospectuses, subject to such qualifications
         as may be set forth in the Prospectuses and, except as, individually
         or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect; the Company and each of the Subsidiaries have
         fulfilled and performed all of their respective obligations with
         respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which allows, or
         after

         notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination thereof
         or results in any other material impairment of the rights of the
         holder of any such Permit, subject in each case to such qualifications
         as may be set forth in the Prospectuses and, except as, individually
         or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect; and, except as described in the Prospectuses,
         none of such Permits contains any restriction that is materially
         burdensome to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, taken as a
         whole.  Other than as disclosed in the Prospectuses, there are no
         license renewal or rate or tariff proceedings existing, pending or, to
         the best knowledge of the Company, threatened that could reasonably be
         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (u)      To the extent required by the Exchange Act, each of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal
         accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that
         (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general
         or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
         to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
         accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
         accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and
         (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing
         assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
         respect to any differences.

                 (v)      To the Company's knowledge, neither the Company nor
         any of the Subsidiaries nor any officer, director, employee or agent
         of the Company or any Subsidiary has made any payment of funds of the
         Company or any Subsidiary or received or retained any funds in
         violation of any law, rule or regulation, which payment, receipt or
         retention of funds is of a character required to be disclosed in the
         Prospectuses.

                 (w)      The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have filed
         all tax returns required to be filed, which returns are complete and
         correct, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default in
         the payment of any taxes which were payable pursuant to said returns
         or any assessments with respect thereto, other than those taxes or
         assessments being contested in good faith and those taxes or
         assessments for which adequate reserves or accruals have been
         established in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles, except where the failure to file such tax re-

                                      -24-



         turns or to pay such taxes or assessments is not reasonably likely to
         have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
         The Company knows of no actual or proposed additional tax assessments
         for any fiscal period against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries
         that would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to
         have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (x)      Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectuses, no holder of any security of the Company has any
         right to require registration of any security of the Company because
         of the filing of the Registration Statement or consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                 (y)      The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess all
         patents, trademarks, trademark registrations, service marks, service
         mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions,
         trade secrets and rights described in the Prospectuses as being owned
         by them or any of them or necessary for the conduct of their
         respective businesses, the absence of which would have or could
         reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
         Company is not aware of any claim to the contrary or any challenge by
         any other person to the rights of the Company and the Subsidiaries
         with respect to the foregoing which claims or challenges, if the
         subject of an unfavorable decision, would individually or in the
         aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (z)      The Company has complied with all provisions of
         Florida Statutes, Section  517.075, relating to issuers doing business
         with Cuba.

                 (aa)     The Company is not now, and after sale of the Shares
         to be sold by it hereunder and application of the net proceeds from
         such sale as described in the Prospectuses under the caption "Use of
         Proceeds" will not be, an "investment company" within the meaning of
         the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                 (ab)     There are no business relationships or related-party
         transactions of the nature described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K
         involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any persons
         described in such Item that are required to be disclosed in the
         Prospectuses and which have not been so disclosed.

                 (ac)  Except as stated in this Agreement and in the
         International Underwriting Agreement and in the Prepricing
         Prospectuses and the Prospectuses, neither the Company nor any of the
         Subsidiaries, or any of such entities' directors, officers or
         controlling persons, has taken, or will take, directly or indirectly,
         any action designed to cause or result in stabilization or
         manipulation of the price of any Capital Stock of the Company to
         facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Shares.

                 8.       Representations and Warranties of the Selling
Securityholders.  Each Selling Securityholder, severally and not jointly,
represents and warrants to each U.S. Underwriter that:

                 (a)      Such Selling Securityholder now has, and on the
         Closing Date and the Option Closing Date will have, valid and
         marketable title to the Shares or the Warrants to be sold by such
         Selling Securityholder hereunder, free and clear of any lien, claim,
         security interest or other encumbrance, including, without limitation,
         any restriction on transfer other than those arising under this
         Agreement, the Custody Agreement, the Communications Act of 1934, as
         amended and the policies, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
         (collectively, the "Communications Act") and any federal or state
         securities laws.

                 (b)      Such Selling Securityholder now has, and on the
         Closing Date and the Option Closing Date will have, full legal right,
         power and authorization to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such
         Shares or Warrants in the manner and on the terms provided in and
         contemplated by this Agreement.  Assuming that the U.S.  Underwriters
         have purchased such Shares or Warrants for value and without notice of
         any adverse claim, upon delivery of and payment for such Shares or
         Warrants hereunder, the several U.S. Underwriters will acquire valid
         and marketable title to such Shares or Warrants, as the case may be,
         free and clear of any lien, claim, security interest or other
         encumbrance, it being understood that no representation or warranty is
         being made herein with respect to the securities or Blue Sky laws of
         any jurisdiction or the Communications Act.

                 (c)      Each of this Agreement and the Custody Agreement has
         been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf or such
         Selling Securityholder and assuming that each has been duly
         authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of and constitutes
         a valid and binding agreement of each other party thereto, constitutes
         a valid and binding
<PAGE>   27

                                      -26-



         agreement of such Selling Securityholder enforceable against such
         Selling Securityholder in accordance with its terms, except (i) that
         the enforcement thereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency,
         reorganization, fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar
         laws now or hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights
         generally, and to general principles of equity and the discretion of
         the court before which any proceeding therefor may be brought and (ii)
         as any rights to indemnity or contribution thereunder may be limited
         by applicable laws and public policy considerations.

                 (d)      Assuming that the agreement among the Company and
         certain of the Selling Securityholders setting forth certain
         amendments to the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the
         Prospectuses) and certain other instruments and agreements are in full
         force and effect, that the waivers and consents given by the other
         parties thereto are valid and binding and that the Company's
         representations and warranties contained herein are true and complete
         in all material respects, neither the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement or the Custody Agreement by or on behalf of such Selling
         Securityholder nor the performance by such Selling Securityholder of
         its obligations hereunder or thereunder requires any consent,
         approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with,
         any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
         governmental body, agency or official (except such as may have been
         obtained or as may be required under the Act or the Communications Act
         or such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws) or
         conflicts with or constitutes a breach of, or default under, any
         agreement, indenture or other instrument to which such Selling
         Securityholder is a party or by which such Selling Securityholder is
         bound, or any statute, law, rule, regulation, ruling, judgment,
         injunction, order or decree applicable to such Selling Securityholder
         except, in each case, as would not (individually or in the aggregate)
         have a material adverse effect on such Selling Securityholder or its
         ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

                 (e)      The Registration Statement and the Prospectuses do
         not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
         any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
         the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the
         Prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances under which such
         statements were made), provided that the representations and
         warranties set forth in this paragraph (e) shall apply only to
         statements in or omissions
<PAGE>   28

                                      -27-



         from the Registration Statement or any Prospectus made in reliance
         upon and in conformity with the most recent information relating to
         such Selling Securityholder provided by or on behalf of such Selling
         Securityholder in writing expressly for use therein.

                 (f)      If, but only if, such Selling Securityholder is an
         officer of the Company, such Selling Securityholder does not have any
         knowledge or any reason to believe that the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectuses (or any amendment or supplement thereto) contains any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
         fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading.

                 (g)      The representations and warranties of such Selling
         Securityholder in the Custody Agreement are true and correct.

                 9.       Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The Company
and Second Crystal Diamond, L.P. (the "Indemnifying Selling Securityholder"),
jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of you and
each other U.S. Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any U.S.
Underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in any Prepricing Prospectus or in the Registration Statement or the
Prospectuses or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or
based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not
misleading, except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or
expenses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or
alleged untrue statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted
therefrom in reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to
such U.S. Underwriter furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of
any U.S. Underwriter through you expressly for use in connection therewith;
provided, however, that the indemnification contained in this paragraph (a)
with respect to any Prepricing Prospectus and any other preliminary prospectus,
the Prospectuses or any other amendment or supplement thereto shall not inure
to the benefit of any U.S. Underwriter (or to the benefit of any person
controlling such U.S. Underwriter) on account of any such loss, claim, damage,
liability or expense arising from the sale of the Offered Shares by such U.S.
<PAGE>   29

                                      -28-



Underwriter to any person if a copy of the U.S. Prospectus, as amended or
supplemented, shall not have been delivered or sent to such person within the
time required by the Act and the regulations thereunder, and the untrue
statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission of a
material fact contained in such U.S. Prepricing Prospectus was corrected in the
U.S. Prospectus; provided that the Company has delivered the U.S. Prospectus,
as amended or supplemented, to the several U.S. Underwriters in requisite
quantity on a timely basis to permit such delivery or sending.  The foregoing
indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which the Company or
any Indemnifying Selling Securityholder may otherwise have.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent any such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense
arises out of matters other than those which are referred to in paragraph 9(c)
hereof and which relate to the Indemnifying Selling Securityholder, each U.S.
Underwriter agrees that it shall seek indemnification or contribution for any
claim hereunder first against the Company and if, and only if, the Company is
unable to fulfill its indemnification or contribution obligations hereunder,
the U.S. Underwriters shall then be entitled to seek any remaining
indemnification or contribution of any claim hereunder from the Indemnifying
Selling Securityholder.  The obligations and liability of the Indemnifying
Selling Securityholder, whether with respect to indemnification pursuant to
this Section 9(a) or Section 9(c), contribution pursuant to Section 9(e) or
otherwise, shall not in any event exceed the aggregate amount of the net
proceeds received by the Indemnifying Selling Securityholder from the sale of
Shares sold by the Indemnifying Selling Securityholder to the U.S. Underwriters
pursuant to this Agreement.

                 (b)      If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought
against any U.S. Underwriter or any person controlling any U.S. Underwriter in
respect of which indemnity may be sought against the Company or the
Indemnifying Selling Securityholder, such U.S. Underwriter or such controlling
person shall promptly notify the parties against whom indemnification is being
sought (the "indemnifying parties"), and such indemnifying parties shall assume
the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel and payment of all
fees and expenses.  Such U.S. Underwriter or any such controlling person shall
have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action, suit or
proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses
of such counsel shall be at the expense of such U.S.  Underwriter or such
controlling person unless (i) the indemnifying parties have agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the indemnifying parties have failed to
assume the defense and employ counsel or (iii) the named  parties to any such
action, suit or proceeding
<PAGE>   30

                                      -29-



(including any impleaded parties) include both such U.S. Underwriter or such
controlling person and the indemnifying parties and such U.S. Underwriter or
such controlling person shall have been advised by its counsel that
representation of such indemnified party and any indemnifying party by the same
counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional
conduct (whether or not such representation by the same counsel has been
proposed) due to actual or potential differing interests between them (in which
case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of
such action, suit or proceeding on behalf of such U.S. Underwriter or such
controlling person).  It is understood, however, that the indemnifying parties
shall, in connection with any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate
but substantially similar or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same
jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be
liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of only one separate firm of
attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such U.S.
Underwriters and controlling persons not having actual or potential differing
interests with you or among themselves, which firm shall be designated in
writing by Smith Barney Inc. and shall be reasonably acceptable to the
indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred.  The indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without their
written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, the
indemnifying parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless any U.S. Underwriter,
to the extent provided in the preceding paragraph, and any such controlling
person from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason
of such settlement or judgment.

                 (c)      Each Selling Securityholder agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of you and each other U.S.
Underwriter and each person, if any, who controls any U.S. Underwriter within
the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, the
Company, its directors, its officers who sign the Registration Statement, and
any person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act
or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and against any and all losses,
claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of
investigation) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement or alleged
untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or
the Prospectuses or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of
or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make
<PAGE>   31

                                      -30-



the statements therein not misleading, but only with respect to the information
relating to such Selling Securityholder furnished in writing by or on behalf of
such Selling Securityholder other than the Indemnifying Selling Securityholder
expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that (i) such Selling
Securityholder shall not be liable in any such case, whether for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9(c), contribution pursuant to Section
9(e), or otherwise, if any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or any Prospectus used after such time as the Company shall have been
advised by or on behalf of such Selling Securityholder of such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) the
obligations and liability of such Selling Securityholder, whether with respect
to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9(c), contribution pursuant to
Section 9(e) or otherwise, shall not in any event exceed in the aggregate the
amount of net proceeds received by such Selling Securityholder from the sale of
the Shares or Warrants sold by such Selling Securityholder to the U.S.
Underwriters pursuant to this Agreement.  If any action, suit or proceeding
shall be brought against any U.S. Underwriter, any such controlling person of
any U.S. Underwriter, the Company, any of its directors, any such officer, or
any such controlling person of the Company, based on the Registration Statement
or any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of
which indemnity may be sought against any Selling Securityholder pursuant to
this paragraph (c), such Selling Securityholder shall have the rights and
duties given to the Company by paragraph (b) above (except that if the Company
shall have assumed the defense thereof such Selling Securityholder shall not be
required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such
Selling Securityholder's expense), and each U.S.  Underwriter, each such
controlling person of any U.S. Underwriter, the Company, its directors, any
such officer, and any such controlling person of the Company shall have the
rights and duties given to the U.S. Underwriters by paragraph (b) above.  The
foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which any
Selling Securityholder may otherwise have.

                 (d)      Each U.S. Underwriter agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its
officers who sign the Registration Statement, each Selling Securityholder, and
any person who controls the Company or any Selling Securityholder within the
meaning of Section 15 of
<PAGE>   32

                                      -31-



the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, to the same extent as the
foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Selling Securityholders to each
U.S. Underwriter, but only with respect to information relating to such U.S.
Underwriter furnished in writing by or on behalf of such U.S. Underwriter
through you expressly for use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or
any Prepricing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto.  If any
action, suit or proceeding shall be brought against the Company, any of its
directors, any such officer, any Selling Securityholder, or any such
controlling person based on the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any
Prepricing Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect
of which indemnity may be sought against any U.S. Underwriter pursuant to this
paragraph (d), such U.S. Underwriter shall have the rights and duties given to
the Company by paragraph (b) above (except that if the Company shall have
assumed the defense thereof such U.S. Underwriter shall not be required to do
so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in the defense
thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such U.S.
Underwriter's expense), and the Company, its directors, any such officer, the
Selling Securityholders, and any such controlling person shall have the rights
and duties given to the U.S. Underwriters by paragraph (b) above.  The
foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which any
U.S. Underwriter may otherwise have.

                 (e)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9
is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (c) or (d) hereof
or is insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the
Selling Securityholders (severally) and the U.S. Underwriters from the sale of
the Shares and the Warrants and the offering of the Offered Shares, or (ii) if
the allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law,
in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the
Selling Securityholders (severally) and the U.S. Underwriters in connection
with the statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company, the Selling
Securityholders (severally) and the U.S. Underwriters shall be deemed to be in
the same
<PAGE>   33

                                      -32-



proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company or such Selling Securityholders (severally)
bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the U.S.
Underwriters, in each case determined as set forth in the table on the cover
page of the U.S. Prospectus; provided that, in the event that the U.S.
Underwriters shall have purchased any Additional Shares and/or Additional
Warrants hereunder, any determination of the relative benefits received by the
Company, the Selling Securityholders (severally) or the U.S.  Underwriters from
the offering of the Offered Shares shall include the net proceeds (before
deducting expenses) received by the Company and the Selling Securityholders
(severally), and the underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
U.S. Underwriters, from the sale of such Additional Shares and Additional
Warrants, in each case computed on the basis of the respective amounts set
forth in the notes to the table on the cover page of the U.S. Prospectus.  The
relative fault of the Company, the Selling Securityholders and the U.S.
Underwriters shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether
the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or
alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by
the Company, the Selling Securityholders or the U.S. Underwriters and the
parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to
correct or prevent such statement or omission.  In determining the benefits to,
or the fault of, any particular Selling Securityholder, the benefits to and
fault of each other Selling Securityholder and the Company shall not be taken
into account.

                 (f)      The Company, the Selling Securityholders and the U.S.
Underwriters agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution
pursuant to this Section 9 were determined by a pro rata allocation (even if
the U.S.  Underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any
other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable
considerations referred to in paragraph (e) above.  The amount paid or payable
by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses referred to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include,
subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses
reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating
any claim or defending any such action, suit or proceeding.  Notwithstanding
the provisions of this Section 9, no U.S. Underwriter shall be required to
contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the total price of the
Offered Shares underwritten by it and distributed to the public exceeds the
amount of any damages which such U.S. Underwriter has otherwise been required
to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or
<PAGE>   34

                                      -33-



alleged omission.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any
person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.  The U.S.
Underwriters' obligations to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several
in proportion to the respective numbers of Firm Shares set forth opposite their
names in Schedule II hereto (or such numbers of Firm Shares increased as set
forth in Section 12 hereof) and not joint.  The obligations of the Selling
Securityholders to contribute pursuant to this Section 9 are several and not
joint and no Selling Securityholder shall in any event be required to
contribute any amount which is in excess of the amount by which the total net
proceeds received by such Selling Securityholder from the sale of the Shares or
Warrants sold by such Selling Securityholder to the U.S. Underwriters pursuant
to this Agreement exceeds the amounts that such Selling Securityholder has
otherwise been required to pay by reason of the statements or omissions which
result in such obligation to contribute.

                 (g)  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

                 (h)      Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution
under this Section 9 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Securityholders
set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any U.S.
Underwriter or any person controlling any U.S. Underwriter, the Company, its
directors or officers or the Selling Securityholders or any person controlling
the Company or any Selling Securityholder, (ii) acceptance of any Shares or
Warrants and payment therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this
Agreement.  A successor to any U.S. Underwriter or any person controlling any
U.S. Underwriter, to the Company, its directors or officers, or any person
controlling the Company, or to any Selling Securityholder, its directors,

Selling Securityholder shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity,
contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 9.

                 10.      Conditions of U.S. Underwriters' Obligations.  The
several obligations of the U.S. Underwriters to purchase the Firm Shares and
the Firm Warrants hereunder are subject to the following conditions:

                 (a)      If, at the time this Agreement is executed and
         delivered, it is necessary for the Registration Statement or a
         post-effective amendment thereto to be declared effective before the
         offering of the Offered Shares may commence, the Registration
         Statement or such post-effective amendment shall have become effective
         not later than 5:30 P.M. (or, in the case of a Registration Statement
         filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act, not later than 10:00
         P.M.), New York City time, on the date hereof, or at such later date
         and time as shall be consented to in writing by you, and all filings,
         if any, required by Rules 424 and 430A under the Act shall have been
         timely made; no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement shall have been issued and be in effect and no
         proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or, to the
         knowledge of the Company, any Selling Securityholder or any
         Underwriter, threatened by the Commission, and any request of the
         Commission for additional information (to be included in the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or otherwise) shall have
         been complied with to your reasonable satisfaction.

                 (b)      Subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement,
         there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development
         involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition
         (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth, or
         results of operations of the Company or the Subsidiaries not
         contemplated by the Prospectuses, which in your opinion, as
         Representatives of the several U.S. Underwriters, would materially,
         adversely affect the market for the Offered Shares or (ii) any event
         or development relating to or involving the Company or any officer or
         director of the Company or any Selling Securityholder which makes any
         statement made in the Prospectuses untrue or which, in the opinion of
         the Company and its counsel or the U.S. Underwriters and their
         counsel, requires the making of any addition to or change in the
         Prospectuses in order to state a material fact required by the Act or
         any other law to be stated therein or necessary in order to make
<PAGE>   36

                                      -35-



         the statements therein not misleading if amending or supplementing the
         Prospectuses to reflect such event or development would, in your
         opinion, as Representatives of the several U.S. Underwriters,
         materially adversely affect the market for the Offered Shares.

                 (c)      You shall have received on the Closing Date, an
         opinion of Holland & Knight, counsel for the Company and Second
         Crystal Diamond, L.P., James B. Bocock, Dean M. Goodman, Jon Jay
         Hoker, Arthur D. Tek, Anthony L. Morrison and S. William Scott
         (collectively, the "Management Stockholders"), dated the Closing Date
         and addressed to you, as Representatives of the several U.S.
         Underwriters, to the effect that:

                          (i)     The Company is a corporation duly incorporated
                 and validly existing in good standing under the laws of the
                 State of Delaware with full corporate power and authority to
                 own, lease and operate its properties and to conduct its
                 business as described in the Registration Statement and the
                 Prospectuses (and any amendment or supplement thereto), and is
                 duly registered and qualified to conduct its business and is
                 in good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the
                 nature of its properties or the conduct of its business
                 requires such registration or qualification, except where the
                 failure so to register or qualify does not have a Material
                 Adverse Effect;

                          (ii)    Each Subsidiary which is a Florida corporation
                 or partnership is either (i) a corporation duly incorporated
                 or organized, validly existing and in good standing in Florida
                 or (ii) a partnership duly organized and validly existing
                 under the applicable laws of the State of Florida and the
                 status of each such Subsidiary is active; to the knowledge of
                 such counsel, each Subsidiary has the requisite corporate or
                 partnership power to own and operate its property and assets
                 and to transact the business in which it is engaged except
                 where the failure to own or operate such property or assets or
                 transact such business would not have a Material Adverse
                 Effect; each Subsidiary which is a Delaware corporation is
                 duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under
                 the laws of the State of Delaware; and each Subsidiary is duly
                 registered and qualified to conduct its business and is in
                 good standing in each jurisdiction or place where the nature
                 of its properties or the conduct of its business

                 requires such registration or qualification, except where the
                 failure so to register or qualify does not have a Material
                 Adverse Effect;

                               (iii)   To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry, the authorized and outstanding Capital
                 Stock of the Company is as set forth under the caption
                 "Capitalization" in the Prospectuses; and the authorized

                 as to legal matters to the descriptions thereof contained in
                 the Prospectuses under the caption "Description of Capital
                 Stock"; all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of or
                 ownership interests in each of the Subsidiaries have been duly
                 authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
                 nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any
                 preemptive or similar rights;

                               (iv)    All the shares of Capital Stock of the
                 Company outstanding prior to the issuance of the Shares to be
                 issued and sold by the Company hereunder and the Warrant
                 Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued and are
                 fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in violation
                 of any preemptive or similar rights; the Warrant Shares have
                 been validly reserved for issuance[; when issued upon exercise
                 of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares will be duly authorized
                 and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable
                 and will not be issued in violation of any preemptive or
                 similar rights];

                               (v)     The Offered Shares to be issued and sold
                 to the U.S. Underwriters by the Company hereunder (including
                 the Warrant Shares) have been duly authorized and, when issued
                 and delivered to the U.S. Underwriters against payment
                 therefor in accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly
                 issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any
                 preemptive or similar rights that entitle or will entitle any
                 person to acquire any securities of the Company upon the
                 issuance thereof by the Company;

                               (vi)    The form of certificates for the Offered
                 Shares conforms to the requirements of the Delaware General
                 Corporation Law;

                               (vii)   The Registration Statement and all
                 post-effective amendments, if any, have become effective

                 under the Act and, to the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry, no stop order suspending the effectiveness
                 of the Registration Statement has been issued and no
                 proceedings for that purpose are pending before or
                 contemplated by the Commission; and any required filing of the
                 Prospectuses pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in
                 accordance with Rule 424(b);

                               (viii)  The Company has corporate power and
                 authority to enter into this Agreement and to issue, sell and
                 deliver the Offered Shares, and this Agreement has been duly
                 authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

                               (ix)    Neither the offer, sale or delivery of
                 the Offered Shares, the execution, delivery or performance of
                 this Agreement, compliance by the Company with the provisions
                 hereof nor consummation by the Company of the transactions
                 contemplated hereby conflicts or will conflict with or
                 constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default
                 under, the certificate or articles of incorporation or
                 by-laws, or other organizational documents, of the Company or
                 any of the Subsidiaries or to the knowledge of such counsel
                 after reasonable inquiry any agreement or document relating to
                 the Capital Stock of the Company, nor will any such action
                 result in any violation of any law, regulation, rule (assuming
                 compliance with all applicable state securities and Blue Sky
                 laws) or to the knowledge of such counsel after reasonable
                 inquiry judgment, ruling or court decree applicable to the
                 Company, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective
                 properties;

                               (x)     No consent, approval, authorization or
                 other order of, or registration or filing with, any court,

                 body, agency, or official is required on the part of the
                 Company (except as have been obtained under the Act or such as
                 may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws
                 governing the purchase and distribution of the Offered Shares)
                 for the valid issuance and sale of the Offered Shares to the
                 U.S. Underwriters as contemplated by this Agreement;

                               (xi)    The Registration Statement and the
                 Prospectuses and any supplements or amendments thereto (except

                 respects with the requirements of the Act;

                          (xii)        To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry, (A) other than as described or
                 contemplated in the Prospectuses (or any supplement thereto),
                 there are no legal or governmental proceedings pending or
                 threatened against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or
                 to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or any of
                 their property, is subject, which are required to be described
                 in the Registration Statement or Prospectuses (or any
                 amendment or supplement thereto) and (B) there are no
                 agreements, contracts, indentures, leases or other instruments
                 that are required to be described in the Registration
                 Statement or the Prospectuses (or any amendment or supplement
                 thereto) or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration
                 Statement that are not described or filed as required, as the
                 case may be;

                         (xiii)        Other than with respect to federal,
                 state or local broadcasting, licensing or communications law
                 or regulatory matters, the statements in the Registration
                 Statement and Prospectuses, insofar as they are descriptions
                 of contracts, agreements or other legal documents, or refer to
                 statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and
                 present fairly the information required to be shown;

                          (xiv)        This Agreement and the Custody Agreement
                 have each been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
                 each of the Management Stockholders and are valid and binding
                 agreements of each Management Stockholder enforceable against
                 each Management Stockholder in accordance with their
                 respective terms;

                           (xv)         To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry, each Management Stockholder has full legal
                 right, power and authorization, and any approval required by
                 law, to sell, assign, transfer and deliver good and marketable
                 title to the Shares which such Management Stockholder has
                 agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement;

                          (xvi)          To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry the execution and delivery of this
                 Agreement and the Custody Agreement by the Management
                 Stockholders and the consummation of the transactions

                                      -39-



                 contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with,
                 violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default under
                 the terms or provisions of any agreement, indenture, mortgage
                 or other instrument known to such counsel to which any
                 Management Stockholder is a party or by which any of them or
                 any of their assets or property is bound, or any court order
                 or decree or any law, rule, or regulation applicable to any
                 Management Stockholder or to any of the property or assets of
                 any Management Stockholder;

                          (xvii)         Upon delivery of the Offered Shares and
                 the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement and payment therefor
                 as contemplated herein, and assuming that each purchasing U.S.
                 Underwriter shall have purchased the Offered Shares and the
                 Warrants in good faith without notice of any adverse claim,
                 such U.S. Underwriter will acquire good and marketable title
                 to the Offered Shares and Warrants free and clear of any lien,
                 claim, security interest, or other encumbrance, restriction on
                 transfer or other defect in title; and

                          (xviii)       The Company is not an "investment
                 company" or a company "controlled by an investment company"
                 within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
                 amended.

                 Such counsel shall also state that although counsel has not
         undertaken, except as otherwise indicated in their opinion, to
         determine independently, and does not assume any responsibility for,
         the accuracy or completeness of the statements in the Registration
         Statement or the Prospectuses, such counsel has participated in the
         preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses,
         including review and discussion of the contents thereof, and nothing
         has come to the attention of such counsel that has caused them to
         believe that the Registration Statement at the time the Registration
         Statement became effective, or the Prospectuses, as of their date and
         as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
         contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading or that any amendment or supplement
         to the Prospectuses, as of its respective date, and as of the Closing
         Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
         fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
         of the
<PAGE>   41

                                      -40-



         circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it being
         understood that such counsel need express no opinion with respect to
         the financial statements and the notes thereto and the schedules and
         other financial and statistical data included in the Registration
         Statement or the Prospectuses).

                 (d)      You shall have received on the Closing Date an
         opinion of Anthony L. Morrison, Esq., General Counsel to the Company,
         dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, as Representatives of the
         several U.S.  Underwriters, to the effect that:

                          (i)     The Company and each of the Subsidiaries has
                 full corporate or partnership power and authority, and all
                 necessary governmental authorizations, approvals, orders,
                 licenses, certificates, franchises and permits of and from all
                 governmental regulatory officials and bodies (except where the
                 failure so to have any such authorizations, approvals, orders,
                 licenses, certificates, franchises or permits, individually or
                 in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect),
                 to own their respective properties and to conduct their
                 respective businesses as now being conducted, as described in
                 the Prospectuses;

                          (ii)    Except as disclosed in the Prospectuses, all
                 the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the
                 Subsidiaries are owned by the Company directly, or indirectly
                 through one of the other Subsidiaries, free and clear of any
                 lien, adverse claim, security interest, equity, or other
                 encumbrance;

                          (iii)   This Agreement is a valid, legal and binding
                 agreement of the Company, enforceable against the Company in
                 accordance with its terms (it being noted,  without expressing
                 any opinion with regard to the federal securities laws and
                 regulations, that the Commission has expressed the view that
                 indemnification against securities law liabilities is against
                 public policy) and subject to the qualification that the
                 enforceability of the Company's obligations hereunder may be

                 indebtedness;

                 the extent a party thereto) with the provisions hereof or
                 thereof nor consummation by the Company or the Subsidiaries
                 (to the extent a party thereto) of the transactions
                 contemplated hereby or thereby, conflict or will conflict with

                 creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon
                 any property or assets of the Company or any of the
                 Subsidiaries which conflict, breach, default or lien could

                 administrative or governmental rule or regulation applicable
                 to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or of any decree of
                 any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
                 over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries;

                          (x)     Except as described in the Prospectuses,
                 there are no outstanding options, warrants or other rights

                          (i)     Based upon a review of the FCC files, (a)
                 Whitehead Media, Inc., Bradenton Broadcast Television Company,
                 Ltd., Todd Communications, Inc., Roberts Broadcasting Company
                 of Raleigh Durham, L.P. and each subsidiary of the Company and
                 each subsidiary of The Christian Network, Inc. holds those
                 broadcast licenses issued by the FCC ("FCC Licenses")
                 identified as held by such entity and (b) each of the FCC
                 Licenses authorizes radio or television broadcast operations
                 by the holder thereof using the channel or frequency
                 assignment and serving the community of license that is
                 identified for each of the FCC Licenses;

                          (ii)    To the knowledge of such counsel, based upon
                 the review of the publicly available records of the FCC and
                 inquiry to officers of the Company, except as may be disclosed
                 in the Prospectuses, there is no order, judgment, decree,
                 notice of apparent liability, or order of forfeiture
                 outstanding, and no petition, objection, notice of apparent
                 liability, order of forfeiture, investigation, complaint, or
                 other proceeding pending before the FCC or threatened by the
                 FCC against the stations listed (the "Stations") or the FCC
                 Licenses that reasonably could be expected to result in the
                 termination, revocation, suspension, or denial of renewal of
                 any of the FCC Licenses, except for rule making and other
                 similar proceedings generally applicable to the radio or
                 television broadcasting industry or substantial segments
                 thereof;

                          (iii)   To the knowledge of such counsel based upon
                 the review of the publicly available files of the FCC and
                 inquiry to officers of the Company, other than as disclosed in
                 the Prospectuses, (a) there are no license renewal proceedings
                 pending for any of the FCC Licenses; and (b) except as set
                 forth on the FCC authorization certificates for the FCC
                 Licenses or imposed by the generally applicable rules of the
                 FCC, none of the FCC Licenses is subject to any condition
                 imposed by the FCC that reasonably could be expected to have a
                 material adverse effect on the Company's ability to conduct
                 its broadcast operations, taken as a whole;

                          (iv)    The issuance, sale and delivery of the
                 Offered Shares and the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement (A)

                 assignment or transfer of control of licenses issued by the
                 FCC in connection with the Proposed Acquisitions and the
                 exercise of the Station Options (each as defined in the
                 Prospectuses) have been filed with the FCC; and, to the
                 knowledge of such counsel based upon the review of the

                 applications has been filed with the FCC;

                 Government Regulation," "-- Multiple Ownership Rules; Time
                 Brokerage Agreements" and "Business -- Federal Regulation of
                 Broadcasting," insofar as they constitute summaries of the
                 Communications Act and the published rules and regulations of
                 the FCC promulgated thereunder, have been reviewed by such
                 counsel and are accurate in all material respects;

                          (vii)   The execution, delivery and performance of
                 (x) this Agreement by the Company and (y) this Agreement and

                 do not and will not violate the Communications Act and the
                 rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

                          (viii)  There are no restrictions or limitations
                 imposed by the FCC on the ability of the Company to pay cash
                 dividends on its shares of Class A Common Stock or, except as
                 set forth in the Prospectuses, otherwise make distributions in

         D'Alessander, counsel to National Union Fire Insurance Company of
         Pittsburgh, PA, a [           ] ("National Union"), in their
         capacities as Selling Securityholders, (iii) Mr. Salvatore Palazzolo,
         counsel to BT Investment Partners, Inc., (iv) Mr. Hal Clarke, counsel
         to First Union Corporation of Virginia, [others to be provided] (in
         each case, the Selling Securityholder(s) so represented, the
         "Stockholders"), dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, as
         Representatives of the several U.S. Underwriters, to the effect that:

                          (i)     Each of the Stockholders has the necessary
                 corporate or partnership (as applicable) power and authority
                 to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Custody
                 Agreement and to sell to the U.S. Underwriters, in accordance
                 with this Agreement, the Shares or Warrants to be sold by such
                 Stockholder to the several U.S. Underwriters pursuant to this
                 Agreement;

                          (ii)    This Agreement and the Custody Agreement have
                 been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each
                 Stockholder;

                          (iii)   Assuming this Agreement constitutes the
                 legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the U.S.
                 Underwriters, the Company and each of the other Selling
                 Securityholders, this Agreement is a valid and binding
                 obligation of each of the Stockholders, except that no opinion
                 is expressed with respect to rights to indemnity or
                 contribution or with respect to the validity of this Agreement
                 under, or the effect on the validity or binding nature of this
                 Agreement of, the Communications Act; and

                          (iv)    Upon the purchase by, and delivery to, the
                 several U.S. Underwriters in accordance with the terms of this
                 Agreement of the Shares or Warrants to be sold by a
                 Stockholder to the several U.S. Underwriters pursuant to this
                 Agreement (including, without limitation, payment for such
                 Shares or Warrants by the several U.S. Underwriters as
                 provided in this Agreement) and the registration of such
                 Shares or Warrants in the respective names of the several
                 purchasing U.S. Underwriters, and assuming that each
                 purchasing U.S. Underwriter shall have purchased such Shares
                 or Warrants in good faith and without notice of any adverse
                 claim (within the meaning of Section 8-302 of the Uniform
                 Commercial Code), such purchasing U.S. Underwriter will
<PAGE>   47

                                      -46-



                 have acquired such Shares or Warrants so purchased by such
                 U.S. Underwriter free of any adverse claims.

                 Such counsel may limit such opinion in all respects to the
         laws of the State of New York and federal law (excluding the
         Communications Act (and also excluding the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
         Improvements Act of 1976, as amended)) normally applicable to similar
         transactions in the experience of such counsel, to the limited
         partnership or corporation statute of the jurisdiction of formation of
         any Stockholder which is an entity and insofar as such opinions are
         based on any such limited partnership or corporation statute, may base
         such opinions solely on such counsel's reading of such statute,
         without consultation of any judicial or administrative interpretations
         thereof.  If this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered on
         behalf of any Stockholder by any Attorney-in-Fact pursuant to the
         Custody Agreement, then such counsel may assume that such execution
         and delivery was duly and validly made.  Such opinion may be made to
         any other assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations as
         are customary for similar opinions rendered in similar circumstances
         or as are contemplated by the ABA Accord.

                 (g)      You shall have received on the Closing Date an
         opinion of Cahill Gordon & Reindel, counsel for the U.S. Underwriters,
         dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, as Representatives of the
         several U.S.  Underwriters, with respect to the matters referred to in
         clauses (v), (vii), (viii) and (xi) and the final clause of the

         addressed to you, as Representatives of the several U.S. Underwriters,
         and dated the date hereof and the Closing Date from Price Waterhouse

         forms heretofore approved by you.

         Registration Statement shall have been issued and no proceedings for
         that purpose shall have been taken or, to the knowledge of the
         Company, the Selling Securityholders or the Underwriters, shall be
         contemplated by the Commission at or prior to the Closing Date; (ii)
         there shall not have been any change in the Capital Stock of the
         Company nor any material increase in the consolidated short-term or
         long-

         business) from that set forth or contemplated in the Registration

         net worth or results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries
         taken as a whole; (iv) the Company and the Subsidiaries shall not have

         in this Section 10(i) and in Section 10(j) hereof.

                 (j)      The Company shall not have failed at or prior to the
         Closing Date to have performed or complied with any of its agreements
         herein contained and required to be performed or complied with by it
         hereunder at or prior to the Closing Date.

                 The several obligations of the U.S. Underwriters to purchase
Additional Securities hereunder are subject to the satisfaction on and as of
any Option Closing Date of the conditions set forth in this Section 10, except
that, if any Option Closing Date is other than the Closing Date, the
certificates, opinions and letters referred to in paragraphs (c) through (l)

of Additional Securities.

Prospectuses, and each amendment or supplement to any of them; (ii) the
printing (or reproduction) and delivery (including postage, air freight charges

qualification of the Offered Shares for offer and sale under the securities or
Blue Sky laws of the several states as provided in Section 5(g) hereof
(including the reasonable fees, expenses and disbursements of counsel for the
U.S. Underwriters relating to the preparation, printing or reproduction, and
delivery of the preliminary and supplemental Blue Sky Memoranda and such

the Company's accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local

                 12.      Effective Date of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
become effective:  (i) upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties
hereto; or (ii) if, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is
necessary for the Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment thereto
to be declared effective before the offering of the Offered Shares may
commence, when notification of the effectiveness of the registration statement
or such post-effective amendment has been released by the Commission.  Until
such time as this Agreement shall have become effective, it may be terminated
by the Company, by notifying you and the Selling Securityholders, or by you, as
Representatives of the several U.S. Underwriters, by notifying the Company and
the Selling Securityholders.

                 If any one or more of the U.S. Underwriters shall fail or
refuse to purchase Shares or Warrants which it or they are
<PAGE>   51

                                      -50-



obligated to purchase hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number
of Shares or Warrants which such defaulting U.S. Underwriter or U.S.
Underwriters are obligated but fail or refuse to purchase is not more than
one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares or Warrants, respectively, which
the U.S. Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date, each
non-defaulting U.S. Underwriter shall be obligated, severally, in the
proportion which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in
Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth
opposite the names of all non-defaulting U.S. Underwriters or in such other
proportion as you may specify in accordance with Section 20 of the Master
Agreement Among Underwriters of Smith Barney Inc., to purchase the Firm Shares
and Firm Warrants which such defaulting U.S. Underwriter or U.S. Underwriters
are obligated, but fail or refuse, to purchase.  If any one or more of the U.S.
Underwriters shall fail or refuse to purchase Shares or Warrants which it or
they are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and the aggregate number of
Shares or Warrants with respect to which such default occurs is more than
one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares or Warrants, respectively, which
the U.S.  Underwriters are obligated to purchase on the Closing Date and
arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for the purchase of such
Shares or Warrants by one or more non-defaulting U.S. Underwriters or other
party or parties approved by you and the Company are not made within 36 hours
after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on the part
of any non-defaulting U.S. Underwriter, the Company or the Selling
Securityholders.  In any such case which does not result in termination of this
Agreement, either you or the Company shall have the right to postpone the
Closing Date, but in no event for longer than seven days, in order that the
required changes, if any, in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses or
any other documents or arrangements may be effected.  Any action taken under
this paragraph shall not relieve any defaulting U.S. Underwriter from liability
in respect of any such default of any such U.S. Underwriter under this
Agreement.  The term "U.S. Underwriter" as used in this Agreement includes, for
all purposes of this Agreement, any party not listed in Schedule II hereto who,
with your approval and the approval of the Company, purchases Shares or
Warrants which a defaulting U.S. Underwriter is obligated, but fails or
refuses, to purchase.

                 Any notice under this Section 12 may be given by telegram,
telecopy or telephone but shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

                 13.      Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be
subject to termination in your absolute discretion, without liability on the
part of any U.S. Underwriter to the Company or any Selling Securityholder, by
notice to the Company and the Selling Securityholders, if prior to the Closing
Date or any Option Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then
only as to the Additional Securities), as the case may be, (i) trading in
securities generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock
Exchange or the Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or materially
limited, (ii) a general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York
or Florida shall have been declared by either federal or state authorities, or
(iii) there shall have  occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or
other international or domestic calamity, crisis or change in political,
financial or economic conditions, the effect of which on the financial markets
of the United States is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or
inadvisable to commence or continue the offering of the Offered Shares at the
offering price to the public set forth on the cover page of the Prospectuses or
to enforce contracts for the resale of the Offered Shares by the U.S.
Underwriters.  Notice of such termination may be given to the Company and the
Selling Securityholders by telegram, telecopy or telephone and shall be
subsequently confirmed by letter.

                 14.      Information Furnished by the Underwriters.  The
statements set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page, the stabilization
legend on the inside cover page, and the statements in the first, fourth,
ninth, tenth, eleventh and fifteenth paragraphs under the caption
"Underwriting" in any U.S. Prepricing Prospectus and in the U.S. Prospectus
constitute the only information furnished by or on behalf of the U.S.
Underwriters through you as such information is referred to in Sections 7(b)
and 9 hereof.

                 15.      Miscellaneous.  Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 5, 12 and 13 hereof, notice given pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) if to the Company or
the Management Stockholders, at the office of the Company at 601 Clearwater
Park Road, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, Attention:  Anthony L. Morrison,
Esq., Vice President and General Counsel; or (ii) if to the Selling

the several U.S. Underwriters, the Company, its directors and officers, the
other controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof and the Selling
Securityholders, their controlling persons and their respective successors and
assigns, to the extent provided herein, and no other person shall acquire or
have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.  Neither the term
"successor" nor the term "successors and assigns" as used in this Agreement
shall include a purchaser from any U.S. Underwriter of any of the Shares in his
status as such purchaser.

                 16.      Applicable Law; Counterparts.  This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws  of the State of New
York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New
York.

                 This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which
together constitute one and the same instrument.  If signed in counterparts,
this Agreement shall not become effective unless at least one counterpart
hereof shall have been executed and delivered on behalf of each party hereto.

c/o SMITH BARNEY INC.
    388 Greenwich Street

Dear Sirs:

                 The undersigned understands that (i) Smith Barney Inc. ("Smith
Barney"), PaineWebber Incorporated, CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Corp. ("CIBC"),
and BT Securities Corporation (the "Representatives") and certain other firms
propose to enter into a U.S. Underwriting Agreement (the "U.S. Underwriting

Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of Paxson
Communications Corporation (the "Company") and warrants (the "U.S. Warrants")
to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold by the Company and
certain of its securityholders including the undersigned (the "Selling
Securityholders") and (ii) Smith Barney, PaineWebber International (U.K.) Ltd.,
CIBC and Bankers Trust International PLC (the "Lead Managers") and certain
other firms propose to enter into an International Underwriting Agreement (the
"International Underwriting Agreement" and, together with the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement, the "Underwriting Agreements") providing for the purchase by the
Lead Managers and such other firms (the "Managers" and, together with the U.S.
Underwriters, the "Underwriters") of shares (the "International Shares" and,
together with the U.S. Shares, the "Shares") of Class A Common Stock and
warrants (the "International Warrants" and, together with the U.S. Warrants,
the "Warrants") to purchase shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold by the
Company and the Selling Securityholders, and that in each case the Underwriters
propose to

                                      -2-



reoffer the Shares and the shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants
(the "Warrant Shares") to the public.

                 In consideration of the execution of the Underwriting
Agreements by the Underwriters party thereto, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the undersigned hereby irrevocably agrees that without the prior
written consent of Smith Barney the undersigned will not sell, offer to sell,
solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell, grant any option to purchase, or
otherwise transfer or dispose of (other than pursuant to the Underwriting
Agreements), any shares of common stock of the Company ("Common Stock"), or any
securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock,
for a period of 180 days after the date of the final Prospectuses relating to
the offering of the Shares and the Warrant Shares to the public by the
Underwriters; provided, however, that the undersigned may (i) sell Shares and
Warrants to the Underwriters pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements, (ii)
transfer shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable
for Common Stock to (a) the Company, (b) any other Selling Securityholder who
is bound by the terms of a letter agreement similar to this one, or (c) any
Affiliate (as such term is defined for purposes of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended) of any Selling Securityholder, if such Affiliates agrees
in writing to be bound by the terms of this letter agreement, or (iii)
exercise, exchange or convert stock options, warrants, convertible securities
or other rights entitling the undersigned to receive shares of Common Stock or
convert or exchange shares of one class of Common Stock into shares of a
different class of Common Stock, with all shares of Common Stock received upon
any such exercise, exchange or conversion being subject to the terms of this
letter agreement.

                 The undersigned agrees that the provisions of this letter
agreement shall be binding also upon the successors, assigns, heirs and
personal representatives of the undersigned.

                 In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company and First Union
Bank of North Carolina, its Transfer Agent, are hereby authorized to decline to
make any transfer of securities if such transfer would constitute a violation
or breach of this letter agreement.

                 It is understood that, if the Underwriting Agreements do not
become effective by May 1, 1996, or if the Underwriting Agreements (other than
the provisions thereof which survive termination) shall terminate or be

the Managers and the U.S. Underwriters shall be governed by the Agreement

                 The Company and the Selling Securityholders wish to confirm as
follows their respective agreements with you (the "Lead Managers") and the
other several Managers on whose behalf you are acting, in connection with the
several purchases of the International Securities by the Managers.

                 1.       Registration Statement and Prospectus.  The Company
has prepared and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"Commission") in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended, and the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder
(collectively, the "Act") a registration statement on Form S- 1 under the Act
(the "Registration Statement"), including prospectuses subject to completion
relating to the Offered Shares.  The term "Registration Statement" as used in
this Agreement means the Registration Statement (including all financial
schedules and exhibits) and any registration statement filed pursuant to Rule
462(b) under the Act, each as amended at the time it becomes effective, or, if
the Registration Statement became effective prior to the  execution of this
Agreement, as supplemented or amended prior to the execution of this Agreement.
If it is contemplated, at the time this Agreement is executed, that a
post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement will be filed and must
be declared effective before the offering of the Offered Shares may commence,
the term "Registration Statement" as used in this Agreement means the
Registration Statement as amended by said post-effective amendment.  The term
"Prospectuses" as used in this Agreement means the prospectuses in the forms
included in the Registration Statement (including
<PAGE>   5

                                      -4-



any prospectus subject to completion meeting the requirements of Rule 434(b)
under the Act), or, if the prospectuses included in the Registration Statement
omit information in reliance on Rule 430A under the Act and such information is
included in the prospectuses or term sheets (within the meaning of Rule 434
under the Act) filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act,
the term "Prospectuses" as used in this Agreement means the prospectuses in the
form included in the Registration Statement as supplemented by the addition of
the Rule 430A information contained in the prospectuses or term sheets (within
the meaning of Rule 434 under the Act) filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b).  The term "Prepricing Prospectuses" as used in this Agreement
means the prospectuses subject to completion in the forms included in the
Registration Statement at the time of the initial filing of the Registration
Statement with the Commission or in any amendment to the Registration Statement
filed with the Commission, and as such prospectuses shall have been amended
from time to time prior to the date of the Prospectuses.

                 It is understood that two forms of Prepricing Prospectus and
two forms of Prospectus are to be used in connection with the offering and sale
of the Offered Shares:  a Prepricing Prospectus and a Prospectus relating to
the U.S. Shares and the U.S. Warrant Shares that are to be offered and sold in
the United States (as defined herein) or Canada (as defined herein) to U.S. or
Canadian Persons (as defined herein) (the "U.S. Prepricing Prospectus" and the
"U.S. Prospectus," respectively), and a Prepricing Prospectus and a Prospectus
relating to the International Shares and the International Warrant Shares which
are to be offered and sold outside the United States and Canada to persons
other than U.S. or Canadian Persons (the "International Prepricing Prospectus"
and the "International Prospectus," respectively).  The U.S. Prospectus and the
International Prospectus are herein collectively called the "Prospectuses," and
the U.S. Prepricing Prospectus and the International Prepricing Prospectus are
herein called the "Prepricing Prospectuses."  For purposes of this Agreement:
"Rules and  Regulations" means the rules and regulations adopted by the
Commission under the Act; "U.S. or Canadian Person" means any resident or
national of the United States or Canada, any corporation, partnership or other
entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States or Canada
or any estate or trust the income of which is subject to United States or
Canadian income taxation regardless of the source of its income (other than the
foreign branch of any U.S. or Canadian Person), and includes any United States
or Canadian branch of a person other than a U.S. or Canadian Person; "United
States" means the United States of America (including the
<PAGE>   6

                                      -5-



states thereof and the District of Columbia) and its territories, its
possessions and other areas subject to its jurisdiction; and "Canada" means
Canada and its territories, its possessions and other areas subject to its
jurisdiction.

                 2.       Agreements to Sell and Purchase.  Subject to such
adjustments as you may determine in order to avoid fractional shares, the
Company hereby agrees, subject to all the terms and conditions set forth
herein, to issue and sell to each Manager and, upon the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Selling
Securityholders herein contained and subject to all the terms and conditions
set forth herein, each Manager, severally and not jointly, agrees to purchase
from the Company, at a purchase price of $[    ] per share (the "purchase price
per share"), the number of Firm Shares which bears the same proportion to the
aggregate number of Firm Shares to be issued and sold by the Company as the
number of Firm Shares set forth opposite the name of such Manager in Schedule
II hereto (or such number of Firm Shares increased as set forth in Section 12
hereof) bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares to be sold by the Company
and the Selling Securityholders (with respect to each Manager, such Manager's
"Pro Rata Share").  The Company agrees, upon receipt of the exercise price of
the Firm Warrants and surrender of the certificates, if any, representing such
Firm Warrants, to issue to the Managers the Firm Warrant Shares.

                 Subject to such adjustments as you may determine in order to
avoid fractional shares or warrants, each Selling Securityholder hereby agrees,
severally and not jointly, and subject to all the terms and conditions set
forth herein, to sell to each Manager and, upon the basis of the
representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the Selling
Securityholders and the Managers herein contained and subject to all the terms
and conditions set forth herein, each Manager, severally and not jointly,
agrees to purchase from each Selling Securityholder (i) that number of Firm
Shares, if any, set forth opposite such Selling Securityholder's name on Part A
of Schedule I hereto multiplied by each such Manager's Pro Rata Share at the
purchase price per share and (ii) that number of Firm Warrants, if any, set
forth opposite such Selling Securityholder's name on Part B of Schedule I
hereto multiplied by each such Manager's Pro Rata Share at the warrant purchase
price.  "Warrant purchase price" for any Warrant means the excess of (i) the
purchase price per share multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares issuable
upon the exercise of the Warrant over (ii) the exercise price of such Warrant.

                                      -6-



                 The Company and the Selling Securityholders listed in Part C
of Schedule I hereto also agree, severally and not jointly, and subject to all
the terms and conditions set forth herein, to sell to the Managers and, upon
the basis of the representations, warranties and agreements of the Company, the
Selling Securityholders and the Managers herein contained and subject to all
the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Managers shall have the right to
purchase from the Company and the Selling Securityholders listed in Part C of
Schedule I hereto, at the purchase price per share in the case of Additional
Shares and at the warrant purchase price in the case of any Additional
Warrants, pursuant to an option (the "over-allotment option") which may be
exercised at any time and from time to time prior to 9:00 P.M., New York City
time, on the 30th day after the date of the International Prospectus (or, if
such 30th day shall be a Saturday or Sunday or a holiday, on the next business
day thereafter when the American Stock Exchange is open for trading), the
number of Additional Shares and Additional Warrants, if any, is set forth
opposite their respective names in Part C of Schedule I.  Additional Shares and
Additional Warrants may be purchased only for the purpose of covering
over-allotments made in connection with the offering of the Firm Shares and the
Firm Warrant Shares.  The number of Additional Shares and Additional Warrants
which the Managers elect to purchase upon any exercise of the over-allotment
option shall be provided (i) by the Company in the form of Additional Shares
equal to the number of Additional Shares set forth opposite its name on Part C
of Schedule I hereto multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the
aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock which the Managers elect to
purchase (either directly through the purchase of Additional Shares or
indirectly through the purchase and subsequent exercise of Additional Warrants)
and the denominator of which is the aggregate number of Additional Shares and
Additional Warrant Shares (such fraction, the "Purchased Percentage") and (ii)
by each Selling Securityholder in the form of Additional Shares and/or
Additional Warrants determined by multiplying the number of Additional Shares
and/or Additional Warrant Shares that would be issued upon the exercise of such
Selling Securityholder's Additional Warrants each as set forth opposite such
Selling Securityholder's name on Part C of Schedule I hereto by the Purchased
Percentage.  Upon any exercise of the over-allotment option, subject to such
adjustments as you may determine in order to avoid fractional shares or
warrants, each Manager, severally and not jointly, agrees to (i) purchase from
the Company and each Selling Securityholder who has agreed to sell Additional
Shares that number of Additional Shares to be sold by the Company or such
Selling Securityholder determined pursuant to the preceding sentence multiplied
by each Manager's
<PAGE>   8

                                      -7-



Pro Rata Share and (ii) purchase from each Selling Securityholder who has
agreed to sell Additional Warrants that number of Additional Warrants to be
sold by such Selling Securityholder determined pursuant to the preceding
sentence multiplied by each such Manager's Pro Rata Share.  The Company agrees,
upon receipt of the exercise price of the Additional Warrants and surrender of
the certificates, if any, representing such Additional Warrants, to issue to
the Managers the Additional Warrant Shares.

                 Certificates in transferable form for the International Shares
and the International Warrants which each of the Selling Securityholders agrees
to sell pursuant to this Agreement [(other than Shares issuable upon the
exercise of options)] have been placed in custody with First Union National
Bank of North Carolina (the "Custodian") for delivery under this Agreement
pursuant to a Custody Agreement and Power of Attorney (collectively, the
"Custody Agreement") executed by each of the Selling Securityholders appointing
Arthur D. Tek and Anthony L. Morrison as agents and attorneys-in-fact (the
"Attorneys-in-Fact").  With respect to Shares issuable upon the exercise of
stock options held by certain of the Selling Securityholders, the Selling
Securityholders holding such options have deposited with the Custodian
irrevocable option exercise and payment direction letters in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lead Managers.  Each Selling Securityholder agrees,
severally and not jointly, that (i) the International Shares and the
International Warrants represented by the certificates deposited by such
Selling Securityholder in custody pursuant to the Custody Agreement are subject
to the interests of the Managers, the Company and each other Selling
Securityholder, (ii) the arrangements made by such Selling Securityholder for
such custody are, except as specifically provided in the Custody Agreement,
irrevocable, and (iii) to the extent that such Selling Securityholder can, by
reliance on this clause (iii), vary the provisions of any applicable law, the
obligations of such Selling Securityholder hereunder and under the Custody
Agreement shall not be terminated by any act of such Selling Securityholder or
by operation of law, whether upon the death or incapacity of any Selling
Securityholder or the occurrence of any other event, except as specifically
provided in the Custody Agreement.  Subject to the terms and conditions of the
Custody Agreement, if any Selling Securityholder shall die or be incapacitated
or if any other event referred to in clause (iii) of the immediately preceding
sentence shall occur before the delivery of the International Shares and the
International Warrants hereunder, certificates for the International Shares and
the International Warrants of such Selling Securityholder shall be delivered to
the Managers by the Attorneys-in-Fact in accordance with the terms
<PAGE>   9

                                      -8-



and conditions of this Agreement and the Custody Agreement as if such death or
incapacity or other event had not occurred, regardless of whether or not the
Attorneys-in-Fact or any Manager shall have received notice of such death,
incapacity or other event.  To the extent specifically provided in the Custody
Agreement, each Attorney-in-Fact is authorized, on behalf of such Selling
Securityholder, to execute this Agreement and certain other documents in
connection with the sale of the International Shares and the International
Warrants to be sold hereunder by such Selling Securityholder including
acknowledging, on behalf of such Selling Securityholder, receipt of the
proceeds from the sale of the International Shares and the International
Warrants.  Each Attorney-in-Fact agrees to perform his duties under the Custody
Agreement.

                 3.       Terms of Public Offering.  The Sellers have been
advised by you that the Managers propose to make a public offering of their
respective portions of the Offered Shares as soon after the Registration

Shares to be purchased hereunder (or acquired upon the exercise of Warrants
purchased hereunder) shall be registered in such names and in such
denominations as you shall request prior to 1:00 P.M., New York City time, on
the second business day preceding the Closing Date or any Option Closing Date,
as the case may be.  Such certificates shall be made available to you in New

time, on the business day next preceding the Closing Date or the Option Closing

Date, as the case may be, against payment of the purchase price therefor by
certified or official bank check or checks payable in New York Clearing House
(next day) funds to the order of the Company or the Attorneys-in-Fact, as the
case may be.

                 5.       Agreements of the Company.  The Company agrees with
the several Managers as follows:

                 (a)      If, at the time this Agreement is executed and
         delivered, it is necessary for the Registration Statement or a
         post-effective amendment thereto to be declared effective before the
         offering of the Offered Shares may commence, the Company will endeavor
         to cause the Registration Statement or such post-effective amendment
         to become effective as soon as possible and will advise you promptly
         and, if requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing, when
         the Registration Statement or such post-effective amendment has become
         effective.

                 (b)      The Company will advise you promptly and, if
         requested by you, will confirm such advice in writing:  (i) of any
         request by the Commission for amendment of or a supplement to the
         Registration Statement, any of the Prepricing Prospectuses or the
         Prospectuses or for additional information; (ii) of the issuance by
         the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
         Registration Statement or of the suspension of qualification of the
         Offered Shares for offering or sale in any jurisdiction or the
         initiation of any proceeding for such purpose; and (iii) within the
         period of time referred to in the first sentence of paragraph (f) of
         this Section 5, of any change in the Company's or any of its
         subsidiaries' condition (financial or other), business, prospects,
         properties, net worth or results of operations, or of the happening of
         any
<PAGE>   11

                                      -10-



         event, which makes any statement of a material fact made in the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (as then amended or
         supplemented) untrue or which requires the making of any additions to
         or changes in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (as then
         amended or supplemented) in order to state a material fact required by
         the Act or the regulations thereunder to be stated therein or
         necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, or
         of the necessity to amend or supplement the Prospectuses (as then
         amended or supplemented) to comply with the Act or any other law.  If
         at any time the Commission shall issue any stop order suspending the
         effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Company will use its
         best efforts to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest
         possible time.

                 (c)      The Company will furnish to you, without charge, five
         signed copies of the registration statement as originally filed with
         the Commission and of each amendment thereto, including financial
         statements and all exhibits thereto, and will also furnish to you,
         without charge, such number of conformed copies of the registration
         statement as originally filed and of each amendment thereto, but
         without exhibits, as you may reasonably request.

                 (d)      The Company will not (i) file any amendment to the
         Registration Statement or make any amendment or supplement to the
         Prospectuses (including by way of issuance and filing under the Act of
         any term sheet within the meaning of Rule 434 under the Act) of which
         you shall not previously have been advised or to which you shall
         reasonably object within a reasonable period of time after being so
         advised or (ii) during such period as, in the reasonable opinion of
         counsel for the Managers, a prospectus is required to be delivered in
         connection with sales by any Manager or dealer, file any information,
         documents or reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
         as amended (the "Exchange Act"), without delivering a copy of such
         information, documents or reports to you, as Lead Managers for the
         Managers, prior to or concurrently with such filing.

                 (e)      Prior to the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement, the Company has delivered to you, without charge, in such
         quantities as you have reasonably requested, copies of each form of
         the International Prepricing Prospectus.  The Company consents to the
         use, in accordance with the provisions of the Act and with the
         securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the Offered
         Shares are offered by the several Managers and by dealers, prior to
         the

         date of the International Prospectus, of each International Prepricing
         Prospectus so furnished by the Company.

                 (f)      As soon after the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement as possible and thereafter from time to time for such period
         as in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Managers a prospectus
         is required by the Act to be delivered in connection with sales of
         Offered Shares by any Manager or dealer, the Company will
         expeditiously deliver to each Manager, without charge, as many copies
         of the International Prospectus (and of any amendment or supplement
         thereto) as you may reasonably request.  The Company consents to the
         use of the International Prospectus (and of any amendment or
         supplement thereto) in accordance with the provisions of the Act and
         with the securities or Blue Sky laws of the jurisdictions in which the
         Offered Shares are offered by the several Managers and by all dealers
         to whom Offered Shares may be sold, both in connection with the
         offering and sale of the Offered Shares and for such period of time
         thereafter as the International Prospectus is required by the Act to
         be delivered in connection with sales by any Manager or dealer.  If
         during such period of time any event shall occur that in the judgment
         of the Company or in the opinion of counsel for the Managers is
         required to be set forth in the International Prospectus (as then
         amended or supplemented) or should be set forth therein in order to
         make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under
         which they were made, not misleading, or if it is necessary to
         supplement or amend the International Prospectus in order to comply
         with the Act or any other law, the Company will forthwith prepare and,
         subject to the provisions of paragraph (d) above, file with the
         Commission an appropriate supplement or amendment thereto, and will
         expeditiously furnish to the Managers as many copies thereof as they
         may reasonably request.  In the event that the Company and you, as
         Lead Managers for the several Managers, agree that the International
         Prospectus should be amended or supplemented, the Company, if
         requested by you, will promptly issue a press release announcing or
         disclosing the matters to be covered by the proposed amendment or
         supplement.

                 (g)      The Company will cooperate with you and with counsel
         for the Managers in connection with the registration or qualification
         of the Offered Shares for offering and sale by the several Managers
         and by dealers under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such
         jurisdictions as you may designate and will file such consents to
         service of process or other documents necessary or appropriate in
         order to effect such
<PAGE>   13

                                      -12-



         
         registration or qualification; provided that in no event shall the
         Company be obligated to qualify to do business in any jurisdiction
         where it is not now so qualified or to take any action which would
         subject it to service of process in suits, other than those arising
         out of the offering or sale of the Offered Shares, in any jurisdiction
         where it is not now so subject.

                 (h)      The Company will make generally available to its
         security holders a consolidated earning statement, which need not be
         audited, covering a twelve-month period commencing after the effective
         date of the Registration Statement and ending not later than 15 months
         thereafter, as soon as practicable after the end of such period, which
         consolidated earning statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section
         11(a) of the Act and Rule 158 promulgated thereunder.

                 (i)      During the period of five years hereafter, the
         Company will furnish to you promptly after available, a copy of each
         report of the Company mailed to common stockholders or filed with the
         Commission or the American Stock Exchange (unless the Company has, in
         good faith, requested confidential treatment with respect to such
         filing).

                 (j)      If this Agreement shall terminate or shall be
         terminated after execution pursuant to any provisions hereof
         (otherwise than pursuant to the second paragraph of Section 12 hereof
         or by notice given by you terminating this Agreement pursuant to
         Section 12 or Section 13 hereof) or if this Agreement shall be
         terminated by the Managers because of any failure or refusal on the
         part of the Company or the Selling Securityholders to comply with the
         terms or fulfill any of the conditions of this Agreement, the Company
         agrees to reimburse the Lead Managers for all reasonable out-of-pocket
         expenses (including reasonable fees and expenses of counsel for the
         Managers) incurred by you in connection herewith.

                 (k)      The Company will apply the net proceeds from the sale
         of the Offered Shares to be sold by it hereunder substantially in
         accordance with the description set forth in the Prospectuses.

                 (l)      If Rule 430A of the Act is employed, the Company will
         timely file the Prospectuses pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Act and
         will advise you of the time and manner of such filing.

         solicit an offer to buy, contract to sell, grant any option to
         purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of any common stock of the

         after the date of the Prospectuses, without the prior written consent

         convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, (ii)
         issue Common Stock upon the exercise of currently outstanding warrants

         adopted by the Company as described in the Prospectuses, (iii) issue
         Class A Common Stock upon conversion or exchange of existing shares of
         another class of Common Stock, (iv) grant an option, and permit the

         Stock to John Casey or his designee and (v) issue shares of Common
         Stock as consideration for the acquisition of additional broadcast
         assets provided that in the case of this clause (v), the entity or
         individual receiving such shares agrees in writing to be bound by the
         terms of a lock-up letter with terms substantially similar to those
         referred to in clause (n) below.

         Underwriting Agreement and in the Prepricing Prospectuses and
         Prospectuses, the Company has not taken, nor will it take, directly or
         indirectly, any action designed to cause or result in stabilization or
         manipulation of the price of any of the Company's capital stock (the
         "Capital Stock") to facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered
         Shares.

                 (o)      The Company will use its best efforts to have the
         Offered Shares listed, subject to issuance, on the American Stock

<PAGE>   15

                                      -14-



         possible time, to the extent that such effectiveness is contingent
         upon an action to be taken by such Selling Securityholder.

                 (b)      On the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as
         the case may be, all stock transfer or other taxes (other than income
         taxes) which are required to be paid in connection with the sale and
         transfer hereunder to the several Managers by such Selling
         Securityholder of the Shares or Warrants to be sold by such Selling

         exchangeable for Common Stock, for a period of 180 days after the date
         of the Prospectuses, without the prior written consent of Smith Barney
         Inc; provided, however, that such Selling Securityholder may (i)
         transfer shares of Common Stock or securities convertible into or
         exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to (x) the Company, (y)
         any other Selling Securityholder who is bound by the terms of this
         paragraph (c) or (z) to any Affiliate of any Selling Securityholder if
         such Affiliate agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this
         paragraph (c) or (ii) exercise, exchange or convert stock options,
         warrants, convertible securities or other rights entitling such
         Selling Securityholder to receive shares of Common Stock or convert or
         exchange shares of one class of Common Stock into shares of a
         different class of Common Stock, with all the shares of Common Stock
         received upon any such exercise, exchange or conversion being subject
         to the terms of this paragraph (c).

                 (d)      Except as stated in this Agreement and the U.S.
         Underwriting Agreement and in the Prepricing Prospectuses and the
         Prospectuses, such Selling Securityholder has not taken, nor will it
         take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or result
         in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any Capital Stock to
         facilitate the sale or resale of the Offered Shares (it being
         understood that this paragraph (d) shall not apply to any
         stabilization efforts of any affiliate of such Selling Securityholder
         who is a U.S.  Underwriter or Manager).

         business, prospects, properties, net worth or results of operations or
         of any change in information relating to the Company or any such
         subsidiary or any new information relating to the Company or any of
         its subsidiaries or relating to any matter stated in the Prospectuses
         or any amendment or supplement thereto which comes to the attention of
         such Selling Securityholder who is an officer that suggests that any
         statement made in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses (as
         then amended or supplemented, if amended or supplemented) is or may be
         untrue in any material respect or that the Registration Statement or
         Prospectuses (as then amended or supplemented, if amended or
         supplemented) omit or may omit to state a material fact or a fact
         necessary to be stated therein in order to make the statements therein
         not misleading in any material respect, or of the necessity to amend
         or supplement the Prospectuses (as then amended or supplemented, if

         law.

         thereof).

                 7.       Representations and Warranties of the Company.  The
Company represents and warrants to each Manager that:

                 (a)      Each Prepricing Prospectus included as part of the

         the Commission under Rule 424(b) under the Act complied or will comply
         in all material respects with the provisions of the Act and did not

         material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated
         therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
         except that this representation and warranty does not apply to

         Prospectuses made in reliance upon and in conformity with information
         relating to any Manager or U.S. Underwriter furnished to the Company

         "Warrant Agreements") have been duly and validly authorized by the
         Company, and the Warrant Agreements have been duly executed and
         delivered by the Company and constitute the valid and legally binding

         material adverse effect on the condition (financial or other),
         business, properties, net worth or results of operations of the
         Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole (a "Material Adverse

         administrative or governmental rule or regulation applicable to the
         Company or any of the Subsidiaries or of any decree of any court or
         governmental agency or body having jurisdiction over the Company or
         any of the Subsidiaries, or in default in any material respect in the
         performance of any obligation, agreement or condition contained in any

         Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them
         or any of their respective properties may be bound, except as would
         not (individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse Effect.

         constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default under, the
         certificate or articles of incorporation or by-laws, or other
         organizational documents, of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or
         (ii) conflicts or will conflict with or constitutes or will constitute
         a breach of, or a default under, any agreement, indenture, lease or
         other instrument to which the Company or any of the Subsidiaries is a
         party or by which any of them or any of their respective properties
         may be bound, or violates or will violate any statute, law, regulation
         or filing or judgment, injunction, order or decree applicable to the
         Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any of their respective
         properties, or will result in the creation or imposition of any lien,
         charge or encumbrance upon any property or assets of the Company or
         any of the Subsidiaries pursuant to the terms of any agreement or
         instrument to which any of them is a party or by which any of them may
         be bound or to which any of the property or assets of any of them is
         subject, except as would not (individually or in the aggregate) have a
         Material Adverse Effect.

                 (l)      Each of Price Waterhouse LLP and Voynow, Bayard and
         Company, who have certified or shall certify the financial statements
         included in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (or any
         amendment or supplement thereto), are independent public accountants
         as required by the Act.

                 (m)      The financial statements of the Company and the
         Subsidiaries, together with related schedules and notes, included in
         the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (and any amendment or
         supplement thereto) present fairly the consolidated financial
         position, results of operations and changes in financial position of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries on the basis stated in the
         Registration Statement and the Prospectuses at the respective dates or
         for the respective periods to which they apply; such statements and
         related schedules and notes have been
<PAGE>   21

                                      -20-



         prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
         consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except as
         disclosed therein; and the other  financial and statistical
         information and data included in the Registration Statement and the
         Prospectuses (and any amendment or supplement thereto) are accurately
         presented and prepared on a basis consistent with such financial
         statements and the books and records of the Company and the
         Subsidiaries.

                 (n)      The unaudited pro forma consolidated financial
         statements and other pro forma financial information (including the
         notes thereto) included in the Registration Statement and the
         Prospectuses (A) present fairly in all material respects the
         information shown therein; (B) have been prepared in accordance with
         applicable requirements of Regulation S-X promulgated under the
         Exchange Act; (C) have been prepared in accordance with the
         Commission's rules and guidelines with respect to pro forma financial
         statements; and (D) have been properly computed on the bases described
         therein.  The assumptions used in the preparation of the pro forma
         financial statements and other pro forma condensed consolidated
         financial information included in the Registration Statement and the
         Prospectuses are reasonable and the adjustments used therein are
         appropriate to give effect to the transactions or circumstances
         referred to therein.

                 (o)      The execution and delivery of, and the performance by
         the Company of its obligations under, this Agreement have been duly
         and validly authorized by the Company, and this Agreement has been
         duly executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes the valid
         and legally binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the
         Company in accordance with its terms except (i) that the enforcement
         hereof may be subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or
         hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally, and to
         general principles of equity and the discretion of the court before
         which any proceeding therefor may be brought and (ii) as any rights to
         indemnity or contribution hereunder may be limited by applicable
         securities laws and public policy considerations.

                 (p)      The execution and delivery of, and the performance by
         the Company and the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto) of
         each of its obligations under, each agreement or instrument executed
         or delivered in connection with the
<PAGE>   22

                                      -21-



         Proposed Acquisitions (as defined in the Prospectuses), the exercise
         of the Station Options (as defined in the Prospectuses) and the
         termination of the put option on the Company's Class A and Class B
         Common Stock warrants (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"),
         other than this Agreement, have been duly and validly authorized by
         the Company and the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto), and
         such Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered by
         the Company and the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto) and
         constitute the valid and legally binding agreement of the Company and
         the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto), enforceable against
         them in accordance with their terms, except that the enforcement
         thereof may be subject to (i) bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
         fraudulent conveyance, moratorium or other similar laws now or
         hereafter in effect relating to creditors' rights generally, and (ii)
         to general principles of equity and the discretion of the court before
         which any proceeding therefor may be brought.

                 (q)      Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement and
         the Prospectuses (or any amendment or supplement thereto), subsequent
         to the respective dates as of which such information is given in the
         Registration Statement and the Prospectuses (or any amendment or
         supplement thereto), neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries
         has incurred any liability or obligation, contingent or otherwise, or
         entered into any transaction, not in the ordinary course of business,
         that is material to the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a whole,
         and there has not been any change in the capital stock (other than as
         contemplated by the Underwriting Agreements or the exercise of stock
         options pursuant to grants or plans described in the Prospectuses), or
         material increase in the short-term debt or long-term debt, of the
         Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or any material adverse change, or
         any development involving or which may reasonably be expected to
         involve, a prospective material adverse change, in the condition
         (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth or
         results of operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries taken as a
         whole.

                 (r)      Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has good and
         marketable title to all property (real and personal) described in the
         Prospectuses as being owned by it which is material to the business of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, free and clear of
         all liens, claims, security interests or other encumbrances except
         such
<PAGE>   23

                                      -22-



         as are described in the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses or
         would not (individually or in the aggregate) have a Material Adverse
         Effect and all property described in the Registration Statement
         (including exhibits thereto) and the Prospectuses as being held  under
         lease by each of the Company and the Subsidiaries which is material to
         the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, is
         held by it under binding leases that are in force and effect.

                 (s)      The Company has not distributed and, prior to the
         later to occur of (i) the Closing Date and (ii) completion of the
         distribution of the Shares, will not distribute any offering material
         in connection with the offering and sale of the Offered Shares other
         than the Registration Statement, the Prepricing Prospectuses, the
         Prospectuses or other materials, if any, permitted by the Act.

                 (t)      The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have such
         permits, licenses, franchises and authorizations of governmental or
         regulatory authorities, including, without limitation, permits,
         licenses, franchises and authorizations from the United States Federal
         Communications Commission (the "FCC") ("Permits"), as are necessary to
         own its respective properties and to conduct its business in the
         manner described in the Prospectuses, subject to such qualifications
         as may be set forth in the Prospectuses and, except as, individually
         or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to have a
         Material Adverse Effect; the Company and each of the Subsidiaries has
         fulfilled and performed all of their respective obligations with
         respect to such Permits and no event has occurred which allows, or
         after notice or lapse of time would allow, revocation or termination
         thereof or results in any other material impairment of the rights of
         the holder of any such Permit, subject in each case to such
         qualifications as may be set forth in the Prospectuses and, except as,
         individually or in the aggregate, could not reasonably be expected to
         have a Material Adverse Effect; and, except as described in the
         Prospectuses, none of such Permits contains any restriction that is
         materially burdensome to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries, taken
         as a whole.  Other than as disclosed in the Prospectuses, there are no
         license renewal or rate or tariff proceedings existing, pending or, to
         the best knowledge of the Company, threatened that could reasonably be
         expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (u)      To the extent required by the Exchange Act, each of
         the Company and the Subsidiaries maintains a system of internal
         accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurances that
         (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management's general
         or specific authorization; (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary
         to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with
         generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain
         accountability for assets; (iii) access to assets is permitted only in
         accordance with management's general or specific authorization; and
         (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with existing
         assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with
         respect to any differences.

                 (v)      To the Company's knowledge, neither the Company nor
         any of the Subsidiaries nor any officer, director, employee or agent
         of the Company or any Subsidiary has made any payment of funds of the
         Company or any Subsidiary or received or retained any funds in
         violation of any law, rule or regulation, which payment, receipt or
         retention of funds is of a character required to be disclosed in the
         Prospectuses.

                 (w)      The Company and each of the Subsidiaries have filed
         all tax returns required to be filed, which returns are complete and
         correct, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default in
         the payment of any taxes which were payable pursuant to said returns
         or any assessments with respect thereto, other than those taxes or
         assessments being contested in good faith and those taxes or
         assessments for which adequate reserves or accruals have been
         established in accordance with generally accepted accounting
         principles, except where the failure to file such tax returns or to
         pay such taxes or assessments is not reasonably likely to have,
         individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.  The
         Company knows of no actual or proposed additional tax assessments for
         any fiscal period against the Company or any of the Subsidiaries that
         would, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to have
         a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (x)      Except as disclosed in the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectuses, no holder of any security of the Company has any
         right to require registration of any security of the Company because
         of the filing of the Registration Statement or consummation of the
         transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

                                      -24-




                 (y)      The Company and the Subsidiaries own or possess all
         patents, trademarks, trademark registrations, service marks, service
         mark registrations, trade names, copyrights, licenses, inventions,
         trade secrets and rights described in the Prospectuses as being owned
         by them or any of them or necessary for the conduct of their
         respective businesses, the absence of which would have or could
         reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, and the
         Company is not aware of any claim to the contrary or any challenge by
         any other person to the rights of the Company and the Subsidiaries
         with respect to the foregoing which claims or challenges, if the
         subject of an unfavorable decision, would individually or in the
         aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

                 (z)      The Company has complied with all provisions of
         Florida Statutes, Section  517.075, relating to issuers doing business
         with Cuba.

                 (aa)     The Company is not now, and after sale of the Shares
         to be sold by it hereunder and application of the net proceeds from
         such sale as described in the Prospectuses under the caption "Use of
         Proceeds" will not be, an "investment company" within the meaning of
         the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                 (ab)     There are no business relationships or related-party
         transactions of the nature described in Item 404 of Regulation S-K
         involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries and any persons
         described in such Item that are required to be disclosed in the
         Prospectuses and which have not been so disclosed.

                 (ac)  Except as stated in this Agreement and in the U.S.
         Underwriting Agreement and in the Prepricing Prospectuses and the
         Prospectuses, neither the Company nor any of the Subsidiaries, or any
         of such entities' directors, officers or controlling persons, has
         taken, or will take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to
         cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of any
         Capital Stock of the Company to facilitate the sale or resale of the
         Offered Shares.

                 8.       Representations and Warranties of the Selling
Securityholders.  Each Selling Securityholder, severally and not jointly,
represents and warrants to each Manager that:
<PAGE>   26

                                      -25-



                 (a)      Such Selling Securityholder now has, and on the
         Closing Date and the Option Closing Date will have, valid and
         marketable title to the Shares or the Warrants to be sold by such
         Selling Securityholder hereunder, free and clear of any lien, claim,
         security interest or other encumbrance, including, without limitation,
         any restriction on transfer other than those arising under this
         Agreement, the Custody Agreement, the Communications Act of 1934, as
         amended and the policies, rules and regulations promulgated thereunder
         (collectively, the "Communications Act") and any federal or state
         securities laws.

                 (b)      Such Selling Securityholder now has, and on the
         Closing Date and the Option Closing Date will have, full legal right,
         power and authorization to sell, assign, transfer and deliver such
         Shares or Warrants in the manner and on the terms provided in and
         contemplated by this Agreement.  Assuming that the Managers have
         purchased such Shares or Warrants for value and without notice of any
         adverse claim, upon delivery of and payment for such Shares or
         Warrants hereunder, the several Managers will acquire valid and
         marketable title to such Shares or Warrants, as the case may be, free
         and clear of any lien, claim, security interest or other encumbrance,
         it being understood that no representation or warranty is being made
         herein with respect to the securities or Blue Sky laws of any
         jurisdiction or the Communications Act.

                 (c)      Each of this Agreement and the Custody Agreement has
         been duly authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf or such
         Selling Securityholder and assuming that each has been duly
         authorized, executed and delivered by or on behalf of and constitutes
         a valid and binding agreement of each other party thereto, constitutes
         a valid and binding agreement of such Selling Securityholder
         enforceable against such Selling Securityholder in accordance with its
         terms, except (i) that the enforcement thereof may be subject to
         bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, fraudulent conveyance,
         moratorium or other similar laws now or hereafter in effect relating
         to creditors' rights generally, and to general principles of equity
         and the discretion of the court before which any proceeding therefor
         may be brought and (ii) as any rights to indemnity or contribution
         thereunder may be limited by applicable laws and public policy
         considerations.

                 (d)      Assuming that the agreement among the Company and
         certain of the Selling Securityholders setting forth certain
<PAGE>   27

                                      -26-

          

         amendments to the Stockholders Agreement (as defined in the
         Prospectuses) and certain other instruments and agreements are in full
         force and effect, that the waivers and consents given by the other
         parties thereto are valid and binding and that the Company's
         representations and warranties contained herein are true and complete
         in all material respects, neither the execution and delivery of this
         Agreement or the Custody Agreement by or on behalf of such Selling
         Securityholder nor the performance by such Selling Securityholder of
         its obligations hereunder or thereunder requires any consent,
         approval, authorization or order of, or filing or registration with,
         any court, regulatory body, administrative agency or other
         governmental body, agency or official (except such as may have been
         obtained or as may be required under the Act or the Communications Act
         or such as may be required under state securities or Blue Sky laws) or
         conflicts with or constitutes a breach of, or default under, any
         agreement, indenture or other instrument to which such Selling
         Securityholder is a party or by which such Selling Securityholder is
         bound, or any statute, law, rule, regulation, ruling, judgment,
         injunction, order or decree applicable to such Selling Securityholder
         except, in each case, as would not (individually or in the aggregate)
         have a material adverse effect on such Selling Securityholder or its
         ability to perform its obligations hereunder.

                 (e)      The Registration Statement and the Prospectuses do
         not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state
         any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
         the statements therein not misleading (in the case of the
         Prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances under which such
         statements were made), provided that the representations and
         warranties set forth in this paragraph (e) shall apply only to
         statements in or omissions from the Registration Statement or any
         Prospectus made in reliance upon and in conformity with the most
         recent information relating to such Selling Securityholder provided by
         or on behalf of such Selling Securityholder in writing expressly for
         use therein.

                 (f)      If, but only if, such Selling Securityholder is an
         officer of the Company, such Selling Securityholder does not have any
         knowledge or any reason to believe that the Registration Statement or
         the Prospectuses (or any amendment or supplement thereto) contains any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material
         fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
         therein not misleading.

                                      -27-




                 (g)      The representations and warranties of such Selling
         Securityholder in the Custody Agreement are true and correct.

                 9.       Indemnification and Contribution.  (a)  The Company
and Second Crystal Diamond, L.P. (the "Indemnifying Selling Securityholder"),
jointly and severally, agree to indemnify and hold harmless each of you and
each other Manager and each person, if any, who controls any Manager within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act from and
against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses
(including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or based upon any
untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in
any Prepricing Prospectus or in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses
or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any
omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading,
except insofar as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise
out of or are based upon any untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue
statement or omission which has been made therein or omitted therefrom in
reliance upon and in conformity with the information relating to such Manager
furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of any Manager through you
expressly for use in connection therewith; provided, however, that the
indemnification contained in this paragraph (a) with respect to any Prepricing
Prospectus and any other preliminary prospectus, the Prospectuses or any other
amendment or supplement thereto shall not inure to the benefit of any Manager
(or to the benefit of any person controlling such Manager) on account of any
such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense arising from the sale of the
Offered Shares by such Manager to any person if a copy of the International
Prospectus, as amended or supplemented, shall not have been delivered or sent
to such person within the time required by the Act and the regulations
thereunder, and the untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or
alleged omission of a material fact contained in such International Prepricing
Prospectus was corrected in the International Prospectus; provided that the
Company has delivered the International Prospectus, as amended or supplemented,
to the several Managers in requisite quantity on a timely basis to permit such
delivery or sending.  The foregoing indemnity agreement shall be in addition to
any liability which the Company or any Indemnifying Selling Securityholder may
otherwise have.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent any such loss,
claim, damage, liability or expense arises out of matters other than those
which are referred to in paragraph 9(c) hereof and which relate to the
Indemnifying Selling

                                      -28-



Securityholder, each Manager agrees that it shall seek indemnification or
contribution for any claim hereunder first against the Company and if, and only
if, the Company is unable to fulfill its indemnification or contribution
obligations hereunder, the Managers shall then be entitled to seek any
remaining indemnification or contribution of any claim hereunder from the
Indemnifying Selling Securityholder.  The obligations and liability of the
Indemnifying Selling Securityholder, whether with respect to indemnification
pursuant to this Section 9(a) or 9(c), contribution pursuant to Section 9(e) or
otherwise, shall not in any event exceed the aggregate amount of the net
proceeds received by the Indemnifying Selling Securityholder from the sale of
Shares sold by the Indemnifying Selling Securityholder to the Managers pursuant
to this Agreement.

                 (b)      If any action, suit or proceeding shall be brought
against any Manager or any person controlling any Manager in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against the Company or the Indemnifying Selling
Securityholder, such Manager or such controlling person shall promptly notify
the parties against whom indemnification is being sought (the "indemnifying
parties"), and such indemnifying parties shall assume the defense thereof,
including the employment of counsel and payment of all fees and expenses.  Such
Manager or any such controlling person shall have the right to employ separate
counsel in any such action, suit or proceeding and to participate in the
defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the
expense of such Manager or such controlling person unless (i) the indemnifying
parties have agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (ii) the
indemnifying parties have failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or
(iii) the named  parties to any such action, suit or proceeding (including any
impleaded parties) include both such Manager or such controlling person and the
indemnifying parties and such Manager or such controlling person shall have
been advised by its counsel that representation of such indemnified party and
any indemnifying party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under
applicable standards of professional conduct (whether or not such
representation by the same counsel has been proposed) due to actual or
potential differing interests between them (in which case the indemnifying
party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action, suit or
proceeding on behalf of such Manager or such controlling person).  It is
understood, however, that the indemnifying parties shall, in connection with
any one such action, suit or proceeding or separate but substantially similar
or related actions, suits or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out
of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable for the reasonable
fees and expenses of only one separate

                                      -29-



firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) at any time for all such
Managers and controlling persons not having actual or potential differing
interests with you or among themselves, which firm shall be designated in
writing by Smith Barney Inc. and shall be reasonably acceptable to the
indemnified parties, and that all such fees and expenses shall be reimbursed as
they are incurred.  The indemnifying parties shall not be liable for any
settlement of any such action, suit or proceeding effected without their
written consent, but if settled with such written consent, or if there be a
final judgment for the plaintiff in any such action, suit or proceeding, the
indemnifying parties agree to indemnify and hold harmless any Manager, to the
extent provided in the preceding paragraph, and any such controlling person
from and against any loss, claim, damage, liability or expense by reason of
such settlement or judgment.

                 (c)      Each Selling Securityholder agrees, severally and not
jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless each of you and each other Manager and
each person, if any, who controls any Manager within the meaning of Section 15
of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, the Company, its directors,
its officers who sign the Registration Statement, and any person who controls
the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the
Exchange Act from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) arising out of or
based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact
contained in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or in any amendment
or supplement thereto, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged
omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or
necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only with respect
to the information relating to such Selling Securityholder furnished in writing
by or on behalf of such Selling Securityholder other than the Indemnifying
Selling Securityholder expressly for use in the Registration Statement or any
Prospectus, or any amendment or supplement thereto; provided, however, that (i)
such Selling Securityholder shall not be liable in any such case, whether for
indemnification pursuant to this Section 9(c), contribution pursuant to Section
9(e), or otherwise, if any such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
omission or alleged omission was contained in or omitted from the Registration
Statement or any Prospectus used after such time as the Company shall have been
advised by or on behalf of such Selling Securityholder of such untrue statement
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission, and (ii) the
obligations and liability of such Selling Securityholder, whether with respect
to indemnification pursuant to this Section 9(c),
<PAGE>   31

                                      -30-



contribution pursuant to Section 9(e) or otherwise, shall not in any event
exceed in the aggregate the amount of net proceeds received by such Selling
Securityholder from the sale of the Shares or Warrants sold by such Selling
Securityholder to the Managers pursuant to this Agreement.  If any action, suit
or proceeding shall be brought against any Manager, any such controlling person
of any Manager, the Company, any of its directors, any such officer, or any
such controlling person of the Company, based on the Registration Statement or
any Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which
indemnity may be sought against any Selling Securityholder pursuant to this
paragraph (c), such Selling Securityholder shall have the rights and duties
given to the Company by paragraph (b) above (except that if the Company shall
have assumed the defense thereof such Selling Securityholder shall not be
required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and participate in
the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at such
Selling Securityholder's expense), and each Manager, each such controlling
person of any Manager, the Company, its directors, any such officer, and any
such controlling person of the Company shall have the rights and duties given
to the Managers by paragraph (b) above.  The foregoing indemnity agreement
shall be in addition to any liability which any Selling Securityholder may
otherwise have.

                 (d)      Each Manager agrees, severally and not jointly, to
indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, its officers who sign
the Registration Statement, each Selling Securityholder, and any person who
controls the Company or any Selling Securityholder within the meaning of
Section 15 of the Act or Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, to the same extent
as the foregoing indemnity from the Company and the Selling Securityholders to
each Manager, but only with respect to information relating to such Manager
furnished in writing by or on behalf of such Manager through you expressly for
use in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prepricing Prospectus,
or any amendment or supplement thereto.  If any action, suit or proceeding
shall be brought against the Company, any of its directors, any such officer,
any Selling Securityholder, or any such controlling person based on the
Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prepricing Prospectus, or any
amendment or supplement thereto, and in respect of which indemnity may be
sought against any Manager pursuant to this paragraph (d), such Manager shall
have the rights and duties given to the Company by paragraph (b) above (except
that if the Company shall have assumed the defense thereof such Manager shall
not be required to do so, but may employ separate counsel therein and
participate in
<PAGE>   32

                                      -31-



the defense  thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at
such Manager's expense), and the Company, its directors, any such officer, the
Selling Securityholders, and any such controlling person shall have the rights
and duties given to the Managers by paragraph (b) above.  The foregoing
indemnity agreement shall be in addition to any liability which any Manager may
otherwise have.

                 (e)      If the indemnification provided for in this Section 9
is unavailable to an indemnified party under paragraphs (a), (c) or (d) hereof
or is insufficient to hold an indemnified party harmless in respect of any
losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses referred to therein, then an
indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall
contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result
of such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (i) in such proportion
as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company, the
Selling Securityholders (severally) and the Managers from the sale of the
Shares and the Warrants and the offering of the Offered Shares, or (ii) if the
allocation provided by clause (i) above is not permitted by applicable law, in
such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits
referred to in clause (i) above but also the relative fault of the Company, the
Selling Securityholders (severally) and the Managers in connection with the
statements or omissions that resulted in such losses, claims, damages,
liabilities or expenses, as well as any other relevant equitable
considerations.  The relative benefits received by the Company, the Selling
Securityholders (severally) and the Managers shall be deemed to be in the same
proportion as the total net proceeds from the offering (before deducting
expenses) received by the Company or such Selling Securityholders (severally)
bear to the total underwriting discounts and commissions received by the
Managers, in each case determined as set forth in the table on the cover page
of the International Prospectus; provided that, in the event that the Managers
shall have purchased any Additional Shares and/or Additional Warrants
hereunder, any determination of the relative benefits received by the Company,
the Selling Securityholders (severally) or the Managers from the offering of
the Offered Shares shall include the net proceeds (before deducting expenses)
received by the Company and the Selling Securityholders (severally), and the
underwriting discounts and commissions received by the Managers, from the sale
of such Additional Shares and Additional Warrants, in each case computed on the
basis of the respective amounts set forth in the notes to the table on the
cover page of the International Prospectus.  The relative fault of the Company,
the Selling Securityholders and the Managers shall be determined by reference
<PAGE>   33

                                      -32-



to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a
material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact
relates to information supplied by the Company, the Selling Securityholders or
the Managers and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information
and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  In
determining the benefit to, or the fault of, any particular Selling
Securityholder, the benefits to and fault of each other Selling Securityholder
and the Company shall not be taken into account.

                 (f)      The Company, the Selling Securityholders and the
Managers agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant
to this Section 9 were determined by a pro rata allocation (even if the
Managers were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of
allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred
to in paragraph (e) above.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party
as a result of the losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses referred
to in paragraph (e) above shall be deemed to include, subject to the
limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by
such indemnified party in connection with investigating any claim or defending
any such action, suit or proceeding.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this
Section 9, no Manager shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of
the amount by which the total price of the Offered Shares underwritten by it
and distributed to the public exceeds the amount of any damages which such
Manager has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.  No person guilty of
fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Act)
shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such
fraudulent misrepresentation.  The Managers' obligations to contribute pursuant
to this Section 9 are several in proportion to the respective numbers of Firm
Shares set forth opposite their names in Schedule II hereto (or such numbers of
Firm Shares increased as set forth in Section 12 hereof) and not joint.  The
obligations of the Selling Securityholders to contribute pursuant to this
Section 9 are several and not joint and no Selling Securityholder shall in any
event be required to contribute any amount which is in excess of the amount by
which the total net proceeds received by such Selling Securityholder from the
sale of the Shares or Warrants sold by such Selling Securityholder to the
Managers pursuant to this Agreement exceeds the amounts that such Selling
Securityholder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of the statements
or omissions which result in such obligation to contribute.

                 (g)  No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written
consent of the indemnified party, effect any settlement of any pending or
threatened action, suit or proceeding in respect of which any indemnified party
is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by
such indemnified party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional
release of such indemnified party from all liability on claims that are the
subject matter of such action, suit or proceeding.

                 (h)      Any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses
for which an indemnified party is entitled to indemnification or contribution
under this Section 9 shall be paid by the indemnifying party to the indemnified
party as such losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses are incurred.
The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9 and the
representations and warranties of the Company and the Selling Securityholders
set forth in this Agreement shall remain operative and in full force and
effect, regardless of (i) any investigation made by or on behalf of any Manager
or any person controlling any Manager, the Company, its directors or officers
or the Selling Securityholders or any person controlling the Company or any
Selling Securityholder, (ii) acceptance of any Shares or Warrants and payment
therefor hereunder and (iii) any termination of this Agreement.  A successor to
any Manager or any person controlling any Manager, to the Company, its
directors or officers, or any person controlling the Company, or to any Selling
Securityholder, its directors, officers or partners, or any person controlling
a Selling Securityholder shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnity,
contribution and reimbursement agreements contained in this Section 9.

                 10.      Conditions of Managers' Obligations.  The several
obligations of the Managers to purchase the Firm Shares and the Firm Warrants
hereunder are subject to the following conditions:

                 (a)      If, at the time this Agreement is executed and
         delivered, it is necessary for the Registration Statement or a
         post-effective amendment thereto to be declared effective before the
         offering of the Offered Shares may commence, the Registration
         Statement or such post-effective amendment shall have become effective
         not later than 5:30 P.M. (or, in the case of a Registration Statement
         filed pursuant to Rule 462(b) under the Act, not later than 10:00
         P.M.), New York City time, on the date hereof, or at such later date
         and time as shall be consented to in writing by you, and all filings,
         if any, required by Rules 424 and 430A under the Act shall have been
         timely made; no stop order suspending
<PAGE>   35

                                      -34-



         the effectiveness of the Registration Statement shall have been issued
         and be in effect and no proceeding for that purpose shall have been
         instituted or, to the knowledge of the Company, any Selling
         Securityholder or any Manager, threatened by the Commission, and any
         request of the Commission for additional information (to be included
         in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses or otherwise) shall
         have been complied with to your reasonable satisfaction.

                 (b)      Subsequent to the effective date of this Agreement,
         there shall not have occurred (i) any change, or any development
         involving a prospective change, in or affecting the condition
         (financial or other), business, prospects, properties, net worth, or
         results of operations of the Company or the Subsidiaries not
         contemplated by the Prospectuses, which in your opinion, as Lead
         Managers for the several Managers, would materially, adversely affect
         the market for the Offered Shares or (ii) any event or development
         relating to or involving the Company or any officer or director of the
         Company or any Selling Securityholder which makes any statement made
         in the Prospectuses untrue or which, in the opinion of the Company and
         its counsel or the Managers and their counsel, requires the making of
         any addition to or change in the Prospectuses in order to state a
         material fact required by the Act or any other law to be stated
         therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein not
         misleading if amending or supplementing the Prospectuses to reflect
         such event or development would, in your opinion, as Lead Managers for
         the several Managers, materially adversely affect the market for the
         Offered Shares.

                 (c)      You shall have received on the Closing Date, an
         opinion of Holland & Knight, counsel for the Company and Second
         Crystal Diamond, L.P., James B. Bocock, Dean M. Goodman, Jon Jay
         Hoker, Arthur D. Tek, Anthony L. Morrison and S. William Scott
         (collectively, the "Management Stockholders"), dated the Closing Date
         and addressed to you, as Lead Managers for the several Managers, to
         the effect that:

                          (i)       The Company is a corporation duly
                 incorporated and validly existing in good standing under the
                 laws of the State of Delaware with full corporate power and
                 authority to own, lease and operate its properties and to
                 conduct its business as described in the Registration
                 Statement and the Prospectuses (and any
<PAGE>   36

                                      -35-



                 amendment or supplement thereto), and is duly registered and
                 qualified to conduct its business and is in good standing in
                 each jurisdiction or place where the nature of its properties
                 or the conduct of its business requires such registration or
                 qualification, except where the failure so to register or
                 qualify does not have a Material Adverse Effect;

                          (ii)      Each Subsidiary which is a Florida
                 corporation or partnership is either (i) a corporation duly
                 incorporated or organized, validly existing and in good
                 standing in Florida or (ii) a partnership duly  organized and
                 validly existing under the applicable laws of the State of
                 Florida and the status of each such Subsidiary is active; to
                 the knowledge of such counsel, each Subsidiary has the
                 requisite corporate or partnership power to own and operate
                 its property and assets and to transact the business in which
                 it is engaged except where the failure to own or operate such
                 property or assets or transact such business would not have a
                 Material Adverse Effect; each Subsidiary which is a Delaware
                 corporation is duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
                 standing under the laws of the State of Delaware; and each
                 Subsidiary is duly registered and qualified to conduct its
                 business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction or place
                 where the nature of its properties or the conduct of its
                 business requires such registration or qualification, except
                 where the failure so to register or qualify does not have a
                 Material Adverse Effect;

                          (iii)     To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry, the authorized and outstanding Capital
                 Stock of the Company is as set forth under the caption
                 "Capitalization" in the Prospectuses; and the authorized
                 Capital Stock of the Company conforms in all material respects
                 as to legal matters to the descriptions thereof contained in
                 the Prospectuses under the caption "Description of Capital
                 Stock"; all of the outstanding shares of capital stock of or
                 ownership interests in each of the Subsidiaries have been duly
                 authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
                 nonassessable and were not issued in violation of any
                 preemptive or similar rights;

                          (iv)      All the shares of Capital Stock of the
                 Company outstanding prior to the issuance of the Shares to be
                 issued and sold by the Company hereunder and the
<PAGE>   37

                                      -36-



                 Warrant Shares have been duly authorized and validly issued
                 and are fully paid and nonassessable and were not issued in
                 violation of any preemptive or similar rights; the Warrant
                 Shares have been validly reserved for issuance[; when issued
                 upon exercise of the Warrants, the Warrant Shares will be duly
                 authorized and validly issued and will be fully paid and
                 non-assessable and will not be issued in violation of any
                 preemptive or similar rights];

                          (v)       The Offered Shares to be issued and sold to
                 the Managers by the Company hereunder (including the Warrant
                 Shares) have been duly authorized and, when issued and
                 delivered to the Managers against payment therefor in
                 accordance with the terms hereof, will be validly issued,
                 fully paid and nonassessable and free of any  preemptive or
                 similar rights that entitle or will entitle any person to
                 acquire any securities of the Company upon the issuance
                 thereof by the Company;

                          (vi)      The form of certificates for the Offered
                 Shares conforms to the requirements of the Delaware General
                 Corporation Law;

                          (vii)     The Registration Statement and all
                 post-effective amendments, if any, have become effective under
                 the Act and, to the knowledge of such counsel after reasonable
                 inquiry, no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the
                 Registration Statement has been issued and no proceedings for
                 that purpose are pending before or contemplated by the
                 Commission; and any required filing of the Prospectuses
                 pursuant to Rule 424(b) has been made in accordance with Rule
                 424(b);

                          (viii)    The Company has corporate power and
                 authority to enter into this Agreement and to issue, sell and
                 deliver the Offered Shares, and this Agreement has been duly
                 authorized, executed and delivered by the Company;

                          (ix)      Neither the offer, sale or delivery of the
                 Offered Shares, the execution, delivery or performance of this
                 Agreement, compliance by the Company with the provisions
                 hereof nor consummation by the Company of the transactions
                 contemplated hereby conflicts or will conflict with or
                 constitutes or will constitute a breach of, or a default
                 under, the certificate or articles of incorporation or by-
                 laws, or other organizational documents, of the Company or any
                 of the

                 Subsidiaries or to the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry any agreement or document relating to the
                 Capital Stock of the Company, nor will any such action result
                 in any violation of any law, regulation, rule (assuming
                 compliance with all applicable state securities and Blue Sky
                 laws) or to the knowledge of such counsel after reasonable
                 inquiry judgment, ruling or court decree applicable to the
                 Company, the Subsidiaries or any of their respective
                 properties;

                          (x)       No consent, approval, authorization or

                 regulatory matters, the statements in the Registration
                 Statement and Prospectuses, insofar as they are descriptions
                 of contracts, agreements or other legal documents, or refer to
                 statements of law or legal conclusions, are accurate and
                 present fairly the information required to be shown;

                          (xiv)     This Agreement and the Custody Agreement
                 have each been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of
                 each of the Management Stockholders and are valid and binding
                 agreements of each Management Stockholder enforceable against
                 each Management Stockholder in accordance with their
                 respective terms;

                          (xv)      To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry, each Management Stockholder has full legal
                 right, power and authorization, and any approval required by
                 law, to sell, assign, transfer and deliver good and marketable
                 title to the Shares which such Management Stockholder has
                 agreed to sell pursuant to this Agreement;

                          (xvi)     To the knowledge of such counsel after
                 reasonable inquiry the execution and delivery of this
                 Agreement and the Custody Agreement by the Management
                 Stockholders and the consummation of the transactions
                 contemplated hereby and thereby will not conflict with,
                 violate, result in a breach of or constitute a default under
                 the terms or provisions of any agreement, indenture, mortgage
                 or other instrument known to such counsel to which any
                 Management Stockholder is a party or by which any of them or
                 any of their assets or property is bound, or any court order
                 or decree or any law, rule, or regulation applicable to any
                 Management Stockholder or to any of the property or assets of
                 any Management Stockholder;

                 Warrants pursuant to this Agreement and payment therefor as
                 contemplated herein, and assuming that each purchasing Manager
                 shall have purchased the Offered Shares and the Warrants in
                 good faith without notice of any adverse claim, such Manager
                 will acquire good and marketable title to the Offered Shares
                 and Warrants free and clear of any lien, claim, security
                 interest, or other encumbrance, restriction on transfer or

                          (xviii)   The Company is not an "investment company"
                 or a company "controlled by an investment company" within the
                 meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

                 Such counsel shall also state that although counsel has not
         undertaken, except as otherwise indicated in their opinion, to
         determine independently, and does not assume any responsibility for,
         the accuracy or completeness of the statements in the Registration
         Statement or the Prospectuses, such counsel has participated in the
         preparation of the Registration Statement and the Prospectuses,
         including review and discussion of the contents thereof, and nothing
         has come to the attention of such counsel that has caused them to
         believe that the Registration Statement at the time the Registration
         Statement became effective, or the Prospectuses, as of their date and
         as of the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be,
         contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a
         material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
         statements therein not misleading or that any amendment or supplement
         to the Prospectuses, as of its respective date, and as of the Closing
         Date or the Option Closing Date, as the case may be, contained any
         untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material
         fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light
         of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (it
         being understood that such counsel need express no opinion with
         respect to the financial statements and the notes thereto and the
         schedules and other financial and statistical data included in the
         Registration Statement or the Prospectuses).

                 (d)      You shall have received on the Closing Date an
         opinion of Anthony L. Morrison, Esq., General Counsel to the Company,
         dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, as Lead Managers for the
         several Managers, to the effect that:

                          (i)     The Company and each of the Subsidiaries has
                 full corporate or partnership power and authority, and all
                 necessary governmental authorizations, approvals, orders,
                 licenses, certificates, franchises and permits of and from all
                 governmental regulatory officials and bodies (except where the
                 failure so to have any such authorizations, approvals, orders,
                 licenses, certificates, franchises or permits, individually or
                 in the aggregate, would not have a Material Adverse Effect),
                 to own their respective properties and to

                 conduct their respective businesses as now being conducted, as
                 described in the Prospectuses;
 
                          (ii)    Except as disclosed in the Prospectuses, all
                 the outstanding shares of capital stock of each of the
                 Subsidiaries are owned by the Company directly, or indirectly
                 through one of the other Subsidiaries, free and clear of any
                 lien, adverse claim, security interest, equity, or other
                 encumbrance;

                             (iii)         This Agreement is a valid, legal and
                 binding agreement of the Company, enforceable against the
                 Company in accordance with its terms (it being noted,  without
                 expressing any opinion with regard to the federal securities
                 laws and regulations, that the Commission has expressed the
                 view that indemnification against securities law liabilities
                 is against public policy) and subject to the qualification
                 that the enforceability of the Company's obligations hereunder
                 may be limited by bankruptcy, fraudulent conveyance,
                 insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating
                 to or affecting creditors' rights generally and by general
                 equitable principles;

                          (iv)    Each of the Company and the Subsidiaries has
                 all corporate or partnership power and authority, as the case
                 may be, to execute, deliver and perform each of the
                 Transaction Documents to which it is a party, to perform all
                 of its obligations thereunder and to consummate the
                 transactions contemplated thereby;

                          (v)     Neither the Company nor any of the
                 Subsidiaries is in violation of its certificate or articles of
                 incorporation or by-laws, or other organizational documents,
                 or to the knowledge of such counsel after reasonable inquiry,
                 is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or
                 lapse of time, or both, would constitute a default) in the
                 performance of any obligation, agreement or condition
                 contained in any bond, debenture, note or other evidence of
                 indebtedness;

                          (vi)    Except as disclosed in the Registration
                 Statement and the Prospectuses, to the knowledge of such
                 counsel after reasonable inquiry, neither the offer, sale or
                 delivery of the Offered Shares, the execution, delivery or
                 performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction
                 Documents, compliance by the

                 Company or the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto)
                 with the provisions hereof or thereof nor consummation by the
                 Company or the Subsidiaries (to the extent a party thereto) of
                 the transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, conflict or
                 will conflict with or constitute or will constitute a breach
                 of, or a default under the certificate or articles of
                 incorporation or by-laws, or other organizational documents,
                 of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or any agreement,
                 indenture, lease or other instrument to which the Company or
                 any of the Subsidiaries is a party or by which any of them or
                 any of their respective properties is bound or will result in
                 the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance
                 upon any property or assets of the Company or any of the
                 Subsidiaries which conflict, breach, default or lien could
                 reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect;

                             (vii)         To the knowledge of such counsel
                 after reasonable inquiry, other than as described in the
                 Prospectuses (or any supplement thereto), there are no legal
                 or governmental proceedings pending or threatened against the
                 Company or any of the Subsidiaries, or to which the Company or
                 any of the Subsidiaries, or any of their property, is subject,
                 which are required to be described in the Registration
                 Statement or Prospectuses (or any amendment or supplement
                 thereto);

                            (viii)         There are no agreements, contracts,
                 indentures, leases or other instruments that are required to
                 be described in the Registration Statement or the Prospectuses
                 (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or to be filed as an
                 exhibit to the Registration Statement that are not described
                 or filed as required, as the case may be;

                            (ix)           To the knowledge of such counsel
                 after reasonable inquiry, neither the Company nor any of the
                 Subsidiaries is in violation of any law, ordinance,
                 administrative or governmental rule or regulation applicable
                 to the Company or any of the Subsidiaries or of any decree of
                 any court or governmental agency or body having jurisdiction
                 over the Company or any of the Subsidiaries;

                            (x)            Except as described in the 
                 Prospectuses, there are no outstanding options, warrants or

                 know of any commitment, plan or arrangement to issue, any
                 shares of Capital Stock of the Company or any security
                 convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Capital

                 there is no holder of any security of the Company or any other
                 person who has the right, contractual or otherwise, to cause
                 the Company to sell or otherwise issue to them, or to permit
                 them to underwrite the  sale of, the Offered Shares or the
                 right to have any Capital Stock or other securities of the
                 Company included in the Registration Statement or the right,
                 as a result of the filing of the Registration Statement, to
                 require registration under the Act of any shares of Capital
                 Stock or other securities of the Company.

         opinion of Dow, Lohnes & Albertson, special communications counsel for
         the Company, dated the Closing Date and addressed to you, as Lead
         Managers for the several Managers, to the effect that:

                          (i)     Based upon a review of the FCC files, (a)
                 Whitehead Media, Inc., Bradenton Broadcast Television Company,
                 Ltd., Todd Communications, Inc., Roberts Broadcasting Company
                 of Raleigh Durham, L.P. and each subsidiary of the Company and
                 each subsidiary of The Christian Network, Inc. holds those
                 broadcast licenses issued by the FCC ("FCC Licenses")
                 identified as held by such entity and (b) each of the FCC
                 Licenses authorizes radio or television broadcast operations
                 by the holder thereof using the channel or frequency
                 assignment and serving the community of license that is
                 identified for each of the FCC Licenses;

                          (ii)    To the knowledge of such counsel, based upon
                 the review of the publicly available records of the FCC and
                 inquiry to officers of the Company, except as may be disclosed
                 in the Prospectuses, there is no order, judgment, decree,
                 notice of apparent liability, or order of forfeiture
                 outstanding, and no petition, objection, notice of apparent
                 liability, order of forfeiture, investigation, complaint, or
                 other proceeding pending before the FCC or threatened by the
                 FCC against the stations listed (the "Stations") or the FCC
                 Licenses that reasonably could be expected to

                 result in the termination, revocation, suspension, or denial
                 of renewal of any of the FCC Licenses, except for rule making
                 and other similar proceedings generally applicable to the
                 radio or television broadcasting industry or substantial
                 segments thereof;

                          (iii)   To the knowledge of such counsel based upon 
                 the review of the publicly available files of the FCC and 
                 inquiry to officers of the Company, other than as disclosed in 
                 the Prospectuses, (a) there are no license renewal proceedings
                 pending for any of the FCC Licenses; and (b) except asset 
                 forth on the FCC authorization certificates for the FCC 
                 Licenses or imposed by the generally applicable rules of the 
                 FCC, none of the FCC Licenses is subject to any condition 
                 imposed by the FCC that reasonably could be expected to have 
                 a material adverse effect on the Company's ability to conduct 
                 its broadcast operations, taken as a whole;

                          (iv)    The issuance, sale and delivery of the
                 Offered Shares and the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement (A)
                 does not require any consent or authorization from the FCC,
                 and (B) does not constitute a violation of the Communications
                 Act or the published rules and regulations of the FCC
                 promulgated thereunder;

                          (v)     The identified applications for consent to
                 assignment or transfer of control of licenses issued by the
                 FCC in connection with the Proposed Acquisitions and the
                 exercise of the Station Options (each as defined in the
                 Prospectuses) have been filed with the FCC; and, to the
                 knowledge of such counsel based upon the review of the
                 publicly available files of the FCC and inquiry to officers of
                 the Company, except as identified, no petition to deny such
                 applications has been filed with the FCC;

                          (vi)    The statements in the Prospectuses under the
                 captions "Risk Factors -- Must Carry Regulations," "--
                 Government Regulation," "-- Multiple Ownership Rules; Time
                 Brokerage Agreements" and "Business -- Federal Regulation of
                 Broadcasting," insofar as they constitute summaries of the
                 Communications Act and the published rules and regulations of
                 the FCC promulgated thereunder, have been reviewed by such

                 Agreement and the Custody Agreement by the Selling

                 violate the Communications Act and the rules and regulations

                            (viii)         There are no restrictions or

         Salvatore Palazzolo, counsel to BT Investment Partners, Inc., and (iv)
         Mr. Hal Clarke, counsel to First Union Corporation of Virginia,
         [others to be provided] (in each case, the Selling Securityholder(s)
         so represented, the "Stockholders"), dated the Closing Date and
         addressed to you, as Lead Managers for the several Managers, to the
         effect that:

                          (i)     Each of the Stockholders has the necessary
                 corporate or partnership (as applicable) power and authority
                 to execute and deliver this Agreement and the Custody
                 Agreement and to sell to the Managers, in accordance with this
                 Agreement, the Shares or Warrants to be sold by such
                 Stockholder to the several Managers pursuant to this
                 Agreement;

                          (ii)    This Agreement and the Custody Agreement have
                 been duly executed and delivered by or on behalf of each
                 Stockholder;

                          (iii)   Assuming this Agreement constitutes the
                 legal, valid and binding obligation of each of the
<PAGE>   46

                                      -45-



                 Managers, the Company and each of the other Selling
                 Securityholders, this Agreement is a valid and binding
                 obligation of each of the Stockholders, except that no opinion
                 is expressed with respect to rights to indemnity or
                 contribution or with respect to the validity of this Agreement
                 under, or the effect on the validity or binding nature of this
                 Agreement of, the Communications Act; and

                          (iv)    Upon the purchase by, and delivery to, the
                 several Managers in accordance with the terms of this
                 Agreement of the Shares or Warrants to be sold by a
                 Stockholder to the several Managers pursuant to this Agreement
                 (including, without limitation, payment for such Shares or
                 Warrants by the several Managers as provided in this
                 Agreement) and the registration of such Shares or Warrants in
                 the respective names of the several purchasing Managers, and
                 assuming that each purchasing Manager shall have purchased
                 such Shares or Warrants in good faith and without notice of
                 any adverse claim (within the meaning of Section 8-302 of the
                 Uniform Commercial Code), such purchasing Manager will have
                 acquired good and marketable title to such Shares or Warrants
                 so purchased by such Manager free of any adverse claims.

                 Such counsel may limit such opinion in all respects to the
         laws of the State of New York and federal law (excluding the
         Communications Act (and also excluding the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
         Improvements Act of 1976, as amended)) normally applicable to similar
         transactions in the experience of such counsel, to the limited
         partnership or corporation statute of the jurisdiction of formation of
         any Stockholder which is an entity and insofar as such opinions are
         based on any such limited partnership or corporation statute, may base
         such opinions solely on such counsel's reading of such statute,
         without consultation of any judicial or administrative interpretations
         thereof.  If this Agreement shall have been executed and delivered on
         behalf of any Stockholder by any Attorney-in-Fact pursuant to the
         Custody Agreement, then such counsel may assume that such execution
         and delivery was duly and validly made.  Such opinion may be made to
         any other assumptions, qualifications, exceptions and limitations as
         are customary for similar opinions rendered in similar circumstances
         or as are contemplated by the ABA Accord.

Inc.; (viii) the transportation and other expenses incurred by or on behalf of

Company's accountants and the fees and expenses of counsel (including local and

                 12.      Effective Date of Agreement.  This Agreement shall
become effective:  (i) upon the execution and delivery hereof by the parties
hereto; or (ii) if, at the time this Agreement is executed and delivered, it is
necessary for the Registration Statement or a post-effective amendment thereto
to be declared effective before the offering of the Offered Shares may
commence, when notification of the effectiveness of the registration statement
or such post-effective amendment has been released by the Commission.  Until
such time as this Agreement shall have become effective, it may be terminated
by the Company, by notifying you and the Selling Securityholders, or by you, as
Lead Managers for the several Managers, by notifying the Company and the
Selling Securityholders.

                 If any one or more of the Managers shall fail or refuse to
purchase Shares or Warrants which it or they are obligated to purchase
hereunder on the Closing Date, and the aggregate number of Shares or Warrants
which such defaulting Manager or Managers are obligated but fail or refuse to
purchase is not more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of Shares or
Warrants, respectively, which the Managers are obligated to purchase on the
Closing Date, each non- defaulting Manager shall be obligated, severally, in
the proportion which the number of Firm Shares set forth opposite its name in
Schedule II hereto bears to the aggregate number of Firm Shares set forth
opposite the names of all non- defaulting Managers or in such other proportion
as you may specify in accordance with Section 20 of the Master Agreement Among
Underwriters of Smith Barney Inc., to purchase the Firm Shares and Firm
Warrants which such defaulting Manager or Managers are obligated, but fail or
refuse, to purchase.  If any one or more of the Managers shall fail or refuse
to purchase Shares or Warrants which it or they are obligated to purchase on
the Closing Date and the aggregate number of Shares or Warrants with respect to
which such default occurs is more than one-tenth of the aggregate number of
Shares or Warrants, respectively, which the Managers are obligated to purchase
on the Closing Date and arrangements satisfactory to you and the Company for
the purchase of such Shares or Warrants by one or more non-defaulting Managers
or other party or parties approved by you and the Company are not made within
36 hours after such default, this Agreement will terminate without liability on
the part of any
<PAGE>   51

                                      -50-



non-defaulting Manager, the Company or the Selling Securityholders.  In any
such case which does not result in termination of this Agreement, either you or
the Company shall have the right to postpone the Closing Date, but in no event
for longer than seven days, in order that the required changes, if any, in the
Registration Statement and the Prospectuses or any other documents or
arrangements may be effected.  Any action taken under this paragraph shall not
relieve any defaulting Manager from liability in respect of any such default of
any such Manager under this Agreement.  The term "Manager" as used in this
Agreement includes, for all purposes of this Agreement, any party not listed in
Schedule II hereto who, with your approval and the approval of the Company,
purchases Shares or Warrants which a defaulting Manager is obligated, but fails
or refuses, to purchase.

                 Any notice under this Section 12 may be given by telegram,
telecopy or telephone but shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

                 13.      Termination of Agreement.  This Agreement shall be
subject to termination in your absolute discretion, without liability on the
part of any Manager to the Company or any Selling Securityholder, by notice to
the Company and the Selling Securityholders, if prior to the Closing Date or
any Option Closing Date (if different from the Closing Date and then only as to
the Additional Securities), as the case may be, (i) trading in securities
generally on the New York Stock Exchange, the American Stock Exchange or the
Nasdaq National Market shall have been suspended or materially limited, (ii) a
general moratorium on commercial banking activities in New York or Florida
shall have been declared by either federal or state authorities, or (iii) there
shall have  occurred any outbreak or escalation of hostilities or other
international or domestic calamity, crisis or change in political, financial or
economic conditions, the effect of which on the financial markets of the United
States is such as to make it, in your judgment, impracticable or inadvisable to
commence or continue the offering of the Offered Shares at the offering price
to the public set forth on the cover page of the Prospectuses or to enforce
contracts for the resale of the Offered Shares by the Managers.  Notice of such
termination may be given to the Company and the Selling Securityholders by
telegram, telecopy or telephone and shall be subsequently confirmed by letter.

                 14.      Information Furnished by the Managers.  The
statements set forth in the last paragraph on the cover page, the stabilization
legend on the inside cover page, and the statements
<PAGE>   52

                                      -51-



in the first, fourth, ninth, tenth, eleventh and fifteenth paragraphs under the
caption "Underwriting" in any International Prepricing Prospectus and in the
International Prospectus constitute the only information furnished by or on
behalf of the Managers through you as such information is referred to in
Sections 7(b) and 9 hereof.

                 15.      Miscellaneous.  Except as otherwise provided in
Sections 5, 12 and 13 hereof, notice given pursuant to any provision of this
Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered (i) if to the Company or
the Management Stockholders, at the office of the Company at 601 Clearwater
Park Road, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401, Attention:  Anthony L. Morrison,
Esq., Vice President and General Counsel; or (ii) if to the Selling
Securityholders, at [         ], Attention:  [         ], with copies to be
delivered as follows:  (A) Sandler Mezzanine Partners, L.P., General Motors
Building, 767 Fifth Avenue, New York, New York, Attn: Michael J. Marocco, (B)

[others?]; or (iii) if to you, as Lead Managers for the several Managers, care
of Smith Barney Inc., 388 Greenwich Street, New York, New York 10013,
Attention:  Manager, Investment Banking Division.

                 This Agreement has been and is made solely for the benefit of
the several Managers, the Company, its directors and officers, the other
controlling persons referred to in Section 9 hereof and the Selling
Securityholders, their controlling persons and their respective successors and
assigns, to the extent provided herein, and no other person shall acquire or
have any right under or by virtue of this Agreement.  Neither the term
"successor" nor the term "successors and assigns" as used in this Agreement
shall include a purchaser from any Manager of any of the Shares in his status
as such purchaser.

                 16.      Applicable Law; Counterparts.  This Agreement shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws  of the State of New
York applicable to contracts made and to be performed within the State of New
York.

                 This Agreement may be signed in various counterparts which
together constitute one and the same instrument.  If signed in counterparts,
this Agreement shall not become effective unless at least one counterpart
hereof shall have been executed and delivered on behalf of each party hereto.

It is understood that at this time there is no commitment on the part of the

after the date of execution thereof.  The shares of Class A Common Stock or the

         1.      Appointment and Powers of Attorneys-in-Fact.

                 A.       The undersigned hereby irrevocably constitutes and
appoints Arthur D. Tek and Anthony L.  Morrison (the "Attorneys-in-Fact"), and

                    (i)  negotiate, determine and agree upon (a) the per share

discount with respect to the Shares and the Warrants and (c) the price at which
the Shares or Warrants will be sold to the Underwriters by the Selling
Securityholders pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements; provided, however,
that the price per Share payable to the undersigned shall not be less than the
higher of (a) $      and (b) the highest price per share to be paid by the
Underwriters to the Company for the shares of Class A Common Stock to be sold
by it or to any other Selling Securityholder for the shares of Common Stock to
be sold by them; provided, further that the price per Warrant payable to the
undersigned shall not be less than the excess of (x) the price per share as
determined in a manner consistent with the previous proviso multiplied by the
number of shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such
Warrant over (y) the exercise price payable upon the issuance of such shares
pursuant to such Warrant; provided, further, that the undersigned acknowledges
that the net amounts actually received  by the undersigned may be more or less,
on a per share basis,


<PAGE>   58

                                      -3-



than amounts received by another Selling Securityholder due to differing

pursuant to paragraph 3(B) hereof;

                   (ii)  prepare, execute and deliver a U.S. Underwriting

the form of the proofs (the "Proofs") each dated           , 1996 attached
hereto as Exhibits A and B, respectively, but with such insertions, changes,
additions or deletions as the Attorneys-in-Fact shall approve which are not,

making of all representations and agreements provided in the Underwriting
Agreements to be made by the undersigned and the conditions to the obligations
of the Underwriters to purchase Shares or Warrants to be sold by the
undersigned pursuant thereto; provided, however, that the representations,
warranties, agreements and conditions are the same, in all material respects,
as the representations and warranties contained in the Proofs; provided,
further, that in no event will the Attorneys-in-Fact have the power or
authority to agree on the undersigned's behalf to (a) any increase or decrease
in the number of Shares or Warrants to be sold by the undersigned (whether
pursuant to any overallotment option or otherwise), (b) any change from the
terms contained in the Proofs that would have the effect, or could have the
effect, of materially increasing the amount or likelihood of any liability or
obligation of the undersigned pursuant to the Underwriting Agreements or (c)
arrangements whereby the undersigned will be treated less favorably than than
other Selling Securityholders participating in the sale of the Shares or the
Warrants or the offering of the Shares and the Warrant Shares;

                  (iii)  sell, assign, transfer and deliver the Shares and the

executed and delivered in connection with the closing of the purchase from
selling securityholders of securities in connection with a public offering
including the acknowledgment of payment of the purchase price for the Shares
and the Warrants; provided, however, that all such receipts and other closing

Proofs and this Agreement (including, without limitation, clause (ii) of this
Section 2(A)); and

                   (vi)  solely with respect to the individuals and entities

required, contemplated or deemed advisable or desirable by the
Attorneys-in-Fact in their discretion, including the execution and delivery of
any documents, and generally act for and in the name of the undersigned with
respect to the sale of the Shares and the Warrants to the Underwriters and the
reoffering of the Shares and the Warrant Shares by the Underwriters as fully as
could the undersigned if then personally present and acting.

                 B.       Each Attorney-in-Fact may act alone in exercising the
rights and powers conferred on the Attorneys-in-Fact by this Custody Agreement

                 C.       The Custodian, the Representatives, the Lead
Managers, the Company and all other persons dealing with the Attorneys-in-Fact
as such may rely and act upon any writing believed in good faith to be signed

shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under
applicable law, but if any such provision shall be prohibited by or invalid
under applicable law, it shall be ineffective only to the extent of such

         Section 1.3      Notice of Meetings; Order of Business.

                          (a)     Whenever stockholders are required or
permitted to take any action at a meeting, a written notice of the meeting
shall be given that shall state the date, time and place of the meeting and, in
the case of a special meeting, each purpose for which the meeting is called.
Unless otherwise provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation or these
By-laws, the written notice of any meeting of stockholders (which term includes
an annual or special meeting, whether or not so stated) shall be given not less
than 10 nor more than 60 days before the date of the meeting to each
stockholder of record entitled to vote at such meeting.  If mailed, such notice
shall be deemed to be given when deposited in the United States mail, postage
prepaid, directed to the stockholder at his address as it appears on the
records of the Corporation.

                          (b)     Notice of any meeting of stockholders to act
upon a plan of merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the
Corporation's assets shall be given to each stockholder entitled to vote at
such meeting not less than 20 nor more than 60 days before the date of such
meeting.  Any such notice shall be accompanied by a copy or a brief summary (as
the directors shall deem advisable) of the proposed plan of merger,
consolidation or sale.

         Section 1.4      Annual Meeting Stockholder Proposals.  For a proposal
to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder, the 
shareholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary 
of this Corporation. To be timely, a stockholder's notice must be
<PAGE>   6

delivered to, or mailed and received at, the principal executive offices of
the Corporation not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled annual meeting,
regardless of any postponements, deferrals, or adjournments of that meeting to
a later date; however, if less than 70 days' notice or prior  public disclosure
of the date of the scheduled annual meeting is given or made, notice by the
stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered or received not later than the
close of business on the tenth day following the earlier of the day on which
such notice of the date of the scheduled annual meeting was given or the day on
which such public disclosure was made.

        A stockholder's notice to the Secretary shall set forth as to each
matter the stockholders proposes to bring before the annual meeting (a) a brief
description of the proposal desired to be brought before the annual meeting and
the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting, (b) the name
and address, as they appear on the Corporation's books, of the stockholder
proposing such business and any other stockholder known by such stockholder to
be supporting such proposal, (c) the class and number of shares of the
Corporation's stock that are beneficially owned by the stockholder on the date
of such stockholder notice and by any other stockholder known by such
stockholder to be supporting such proposal on the date of such stockholder
notice, and (d) any financial interest of the stockholder in such proposal.

         The presiding officer of the annual meeting shall determine and
declare at the annual meeting whether the stockholder proposal was made in
accordance with the terms of this Section 1.4.  If the presiding officer
determines that a stockholder proposal was not made in accordance with the
terms of this Section 1.4, he shall so declare at the annual meeting and any
such proposal shall not be acted upon at the annual meeting.

         This provision shall not prevent the consideration and approval or
disapproval at the annual meeting of reports of officers, Board of Directors and
committees of the Board of Directors, but in connection with such reports, no
new business shall be acted upon at such annual meeting unless stated, filed,
and received as herein provided.

         Section 1.5      Quorum.  Except as otherwise provided by law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, at each meeting of stockholders
the presence in person or by proxy of the holders of shares of stock having a
majority of the votes which could be cast by the holders of all outstanding
shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall be necessary and
sufficient to constitute a quorum.  In the absence of a quorum, the
stockholders so present may, by majority vote, adjourn the meeting from time to
time in the manner provided in Section 1.6 of these By-laws until a quorum
shall attend.  Shares of its own stock belonging to the Corporation or to
another corporation, if a majority of the shares entitled to vote in the
election of directors of such other corporation is held, directly or
indirectly, by the Corporation shall neither be entitled to vote nor be counted
for quorum purposes; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not limit the
right of the Corporation to vote stock held by it in a fiduciary capacity.

         Section 1.6      Adjournments.  Any meeting of stockholders may be
adjourned from time to time to reconvene at the same or some other place, and
notice need not be given of any such





                                     - 2 -
<PAGE>   7

adjourned meeting if the date, time and place thereof are announced at the
meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  At the adjourned meeting the
Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the
original meeting.  If the adjournment is for more than 30 days, or if after the
adjournment a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, notice of the
adjourned meeting shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote
at the meeting.

         Section 1.7      Organization.

                          (a)     Meetings of stockholders shall be presided
over by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or in his absence, by the Chief
Executive Officer, or in his absence, by the President, or in the absence of
the foregoing persons, by a chairman designated by the Board of Directors, or
in the absence of such designation, by a chairman chosen at the meeting.  The
Secretary shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his absence, the
chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the
meeting.

                          (b)     The following order of business, unless
otherwise ordered at the meeting by the chairman thereof, shall be observed as
far as practicable and consistent with the purposes of the meeting.

                                  (2)      Presentation of proof of mailing of
                          the notice of the meeting and, if the meeting is a
                          special meeting, the call thereof.

                                  (3)      Determination and announcement that
                                           a quorum is present.

                                  (4)      Reports, if any, of officers.

                                  (5)      Election of directors, if the
                          meeting is an annual meeting or a meeting called for
                          such purpose.

                                  (6)      Consideration of the specific
                          purpose or purposes for which the meeting has been
                          called (other than the election of directors).

                                  (7)      Transaction of such other business
                                           as may properly come before the
                                           meeting.

                                  (8)      Adjournment.

         Section 1.8      Voting; Proxies; Revocation of a Proxy.  Except as
otherwise provided by the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder
entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall be entitled to one vote for
each share of stock held by him which has voting power on the matter in
question.  Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders, or
to express





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   8

consent or dissent to corporate action in writing without a meeting, may
authorize another person or persons to act for him by proxy, but no such proxy
shall be voted or acted upon after 3 years from its date, unless the proxy
provides for a longer period.  A proxy shall be irrevocable if it states that
is irrevocable and if, and only as long as, it is coupled with an interest
sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power.  A stockholder may revoke
any proxy which is not irrevocable by attending the meeting and voting in
person or by filing an instrument in writing revoking the proxy or by
delivering a proxy in accordance with applicable law bearing a later date to
the Secretary of Corporation.  Voting at meetings of stockholders need not be
by written ballot and, unless otherwise required by law, need not be conducted
by inspectors of election.  At all meetings of stockholders for the election of
directors a plurality of the votes cast shall be sufficient to elect.  All
other elections and questions shall, unless otherwise provided by law, the
Certificate of Incorporation or these By-laws, be decided by the vote of the
holders of shares of stock having a majority of the votes which could be cast
by the holders of all shares of stock outstanding and entitled to vote thereon.

         Section 1.9      Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of
Record.  In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled
(i) to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment
thereof, (ii) to express consent to corporate action in writing without a
meeting, (iii) to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or
allotment of any rights, (iv) to exercise any rights in respect of any change,
conversion or exchange of stock, or for the purpose of any other lawful action,
the Board of Directors may fix a record date, which record date shall not
precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by
the Board of Directors and which record date: (i) in the case of determination
of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders or adjournment
thereof, shall, unless otherwise required by law, not be more than 60 nor less
than 10 days before the date of such meeting; (ii) in the case of determination
of stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate action in writing
without a meeting, shall not be more than 10 days from the date upon which the
resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors; and
(iii) in the case of any other action, shall not be more than 60 days prior to
such other action.  If no record date is fixed: (i) the record date for
determining stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall be at the close of business on the day next preceding the
day on which notice is given, or, if notice is waived, at the close of business
on the day next preceding the day on which the meeting is held; (ii) the record
date for determining stockholders entitled to express consent to corporate
action in writing without a meeting when no prior action of the Board of
Directors is required by law, shall be the first date on which a signed written
consent setting forth the action taken or proposed to be taken is delivered to
the Corporation in accordance with applicable law, or, if prior action by the
Board of Directors is required by law, shall be at the close of business on the
day on which the Board of Directors adopts the resolution taking such prior
action; and (iii) the record date for determining stockholders for any other
purpose shall be at the close of business on the day on which the Board of
Directors adopts the resolution relating thereto.  A determination of
stockholders of record entitled to notice of to vote at a meeting of
stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however,
that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned
meeting.

                          (a)     The Secretary shall prepare and make, at
least 10 days before every meeting of stockholders, a complete list of the
stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting, arranged in alphabetical order,
and showing the address of each stockholder and the number of shares registered
in the name of each stockholder.  Such list shall be open to the examination of
any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting, during ordinary
business hours, for a period of at least 10 days prior to the meeting, either

be specified in the notice of the meeting, or if not so specified, at the place
where the meeting is to be held.  The list shall also be produced and kept at
the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be
inspected by any stockholder who is present.

                          (b)     Upon the willful neglect or refusal of the
directors to produce such a list at any meeting for the election of directors,
they shall be ineligible for election to any office at such meeting.

                          (c)     The stock ledger shall be the only evidence

of stockholders or the books of the Corporation, or to vote in person or by
proxy at any meeting of stockholders.

         Section 1.11     Action By Written Consent of Stockholders.

                          (a)     Unless otherwise provided by the Certificate
of Incorporation, any action required or permitted to be taken at any meeting
of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and
without a vote, if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action
so taken, shall be signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less
than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take
such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were
present and voted and shall be delivered (by hand or by certified mail, return
receipt requested) to the Corporation by delivery to its registered office in
Delaware, its principal place of business, or an officer or agent of the
Corporation having custody of the book in which minutes of meetings of
stockholders are maintained.  All written consents shall be filed with the
minutes of meeting of the stockholders.

                          (b)     Every written consent shall bear the date of
a signature of each stockholder who signs the consent.  No written consent
shall be effective to take the corporate action referred to therein unless,
within 60 days of the earliest dated consent delivered to the Corporation in
the manner provided in this subsection, written consents signed by a sufficient
number of stockholders to take action are delivered to the Corporation at its
principal place of business.

                          (c)     Prompt notice of the taking of the corporate
action without a meeting by less than unanimous written consent shall be given
to those stockholders who have not consented in writing.

shares issued and outstanding and entitled to vote in an election of directors.

to the Corporation.  The Board of Directors may remove any officer with or
without cause at any time, but such removal shall be without prejudice to the

represented by certificates but the Board of Directors may provide, by
resolution, that some or all of any or all classes or series of its stock shall
be uncertificated.  Any such resolution shall not apply to shares represented
by a certificate until such certificate is surrendered to the Corporation.
Notwithstanding the adoption of such a resolution by the Board of Directors,
every holder of stock represented by certificates and upon request every holder
of uncertificated shares shall be entitled to have a certificate signed by, or
in the name of the corporation by the Chairman of the Board, if any, or the
Chief Executive Officer, President or Vice President, and by the Treasurer or
an Assistant Treasurer, or the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary,
representing the number of shares registered in certificate form.   Any
signature on such certificate may be a facsimile.  If any officer, transfer
agent or registrar who has signed or whose facsimile signature has been placed
on a certificate shall have ceased to be such officer, transfer agent, or
registrar before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the
Corporation with the same effect as if he were such officer, transfer agent, or
registrar at the date of issue.  A certificate representing shares of stock
that are subject to restrictions on transfer or to other restrictions may have
a notation of such restriction imprinted thereon.

         Section 6.1      Right to Indemnification.  The Corporation shall
indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law
as it presently exists or may hereafter be amended, any person who was or is
made or is threatened to be made a party or is otherwise involved in any
action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative,
investigative or arbitral (a "Proceeding") by reason of the fact that such
person, or another person for whom such person is the legal representative, is
or was a director or officer of the Corporation or is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another
corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit
entity, including service with respect to an employee benefit plan, (an
"Entity") against all liability and loss suffered and reasonable expenses
(including attorney's fees and costs) reasonably incurred by such person.  The
Corporation shall be required to indemnify a person in connection with a
Proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by such person only if the Proceeding
(or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors.

         Section 6.2      Prepayment of Expenses.  The Corporation may, in its
discretion, pay the reasonable expenses (including attorney's fees and costs)
reasonably incurred by a director or officer in defending a Proceeding in
advance of its final disposition; provided, however, that the payment of such
expenses shall be made only upon receipt of an undertaking by the director or
officer to repay all amounts advanced if it should be ultimately determined
that the director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under this
Article or otherwise.

         Section 6.3      Claims.  If a claim for indemnification or payment of
expenses under this Article is not paid in full within 60 days after a written
claim therefor has been received by the Corporation, the claimant may file suit
to recover the unpaid amount of such claim and, if successful in whole or in
part, shall be entitled to be paid the expense of prosecuting such claim.

         Section 6.4      Non-Exclusivity of Rights.  The rights conferred on
any person by this Article shall not be exclusive of any other right which such
person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of the
Certificate of Incorporation, these By-laws, agreement, vote of stockholders or
disinterested directors or otherwise.

         Section 6.5      Insurance.  The Corporation may maintain insurance,
at its expense, to protect itself and any director, officer, employee or agent
of the Corporation or another corporation, partnership trust or other
enterprise against such losses, whether or not the Corporation would have the
power to indemnify such person against such losses under the Delaware General
Corporation Law.

         Section 6.6      Other Indemnification.  The Corporation's obligation,
if any, to indemnify any person who was or is serving at its request as a
director, officer, employee or agent of another Entity shall be reduced by any
amount such person may collect from such other Entity by way of
indemnification, or from such other Entity's insurance company.

         Section 6.7      Amendment or Repeal.  Any repeal or modification of
any provision of this Article shall not adversely affect any right or
protection hereunder of any person in respect of any act or omission occurring
prior to the time of such repeal or modification.


                                  ARTICLE VII

                                 MISCELLANEOUS

         Section 7.1      Fiscal Year.  The fiscal year of the Corporation
shall be determined by resolution of the Board of Directors.

         Section 7.2      Seal.  The corporate seal shall have inscribed
thereon the name of the Corporation, the year of incorporation and the words
"Corporate Seal" and "Delaware".

         Section 7.3      Waiver of Notice of Meetings of Stockholders,
Directors and Committees.  Any written waiver of notice, signed by the person
entitled to notice, whether before or after the time stated therein, shall be
deemed equivalent to notice.  Attendance of a person at a meeting shall
constitute a waiver of notice of such meeting, except when the person attends a
meeting for the express purpose of objecting, at the beginning of the meeting,
to the transaction of any business because the meeting is not lawfully called
or convened.  Neither the business to be transacted at nor the purpose of any
meeting of the stockholders, directors, or members of a committee of directors
need be specified in any written waiver of notice.

         Section 7.4      Interested Directors; Quorum.  No contract or
transaction between the Corporation and 1 or more of its directors or officers,
or between the Corporation and any other Entity in which 1 or more of its
directors or officers, are directors or officers, or have a financial interest,
shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the
director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the Board
of Directors or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction,
or solely because his or their votes are counted for such purpose, if: (i) the
material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or
transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the
committee, and the Board of Directors or committee in good faith authorizes the
contract or transaction by

the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though

as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are
disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the
contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of the
stockholders; or (iii) the contract or transaction is fair as to the
Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified, by the Board
of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders.  Common or interested
directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting
of the Board of Directors or of a committee which authorizes the contract or
transaction.

         Section 7.5      Form of Records.  Any records maintained by the
Corporation in the regular course of its business, including its stock ledger,
books of account, and minute books, may be kept on, or be in the form of, punch
cards, magnetic tape, photographs, microphotographs, or any other information
storage device, provided that the records so kept can be converted into clearly
legible form within a reasonable time.

         Section 7.6      Amendment of By-laws.  These By-laws may be amended
or repealed, and new by-laws may be adopted, by the Board of Directors, but the
stockholders also may amend or repeal or adopt new bylaws.

         Re:     Registration Statement on Form S-1
                 (File No. 333-473)

Gentlemen:

         We refer to the Registration Statement (the "Registration Statement")
on Form S-1 (File No. 333-473), filed by Paxson Communications Corporation (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 13,225,000 shares (the "Common Stock") of the authorized Class A
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, of the Company being offered to the
public pursuant to an underwriting agreement (the "Underwriting Agreement"),
between the Company, certain selling shareholders of the Company, and Smith
Barney Inc., as representative of the underwriters and pursuant to an
underwriting agreement (the "International Underwriting Agreement"), between
the Company, certain selling shareholders, and Smith Barney Inc., as
representative of the managers.

         In connection with the foregoing registration, we have acted as
counsel for the Company, and have examined originals, or copies certified to
our satisfaction, of all such corporate records of the Company, certificates of
public officials and representatives of the Company, and other documents as we
deemed it necessary to require as a basis for the opinion hereafter expressed.

         Based upon the foregoing, and having regard for legal considerations
that we deem relevant, it is our opinion that the Common Stock will be, when
and if sold in accordance with the Underwriting Agreement and the International
Underwriting Agreement, duly authorized, legally issued and fully paid and
non-assessable.

         We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as Exhibit 5 to the
Registration Statement, and to the reference to this firm under the caption
"Legal Matters" contained in the prospectus filed as 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.

                                        Very truly yours,


   
                                        /s/ Holland & Knight

                                   AGREEMENT

the issued and outstanding shares of Paxson Communications Corporation's (the
"Company") "Existing Senior Preferred Stock" and "New Senior Preferred Stock"
(both as defined in the "Stockholders Agreement" (as defined below)), (ii) the
holders (the "Junior Holders", and with the Senior Holders, collectively, the
"Holders") of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's "Junior
Preferred Stock" (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), (iii) the "Initial
Management Investors" (as defined in the Stockholders Agreement), and (iv) the
Company.  Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given in
that certain amended and restated stockholders agreement dated as of December
22, 1994 by and among the parties hereto, including the amended and restated
registration rights provisions (the "Registration Rights Provisions") attached
as Exhibit A thereto (collectively, as heretofore amended, the "Stockholders
Agreement").


                                    RECITALS

         A.      Effective December 15, 1993, the Company and the Senior
Holders entered into a stock purchase agreement pursuant to which the Company
sold to the Senior Holders 2,000 shares of preferred stock designated as "15%
Cumulative Compounding Redeemable Preferred Stock," par value $0.001 per share
(the "Initial Senior Preferred Stock"), and certain warrants (the "Existing
Warrants") to purchase shares of common stock issued by the Company subject to
a warrant agreement dated December 15, 1993 among the Company, the Senior
Holders and a warrant agent named therein (the "Existing Warrant Agreement").
In connection with the foregoing, the Company, the Senior Holders and the
Initial Management Investors entered into a stockholders agreement dated as of
December 15, 1993 (the "Initial Stockholders Agreement").

         B.      Effective November 4, 1994, the Company amended its
certificate of incorporation to provide for two classes of common stock, Class
A common stock, par value $0.001 per share with one vote per share ("Class A
Common Stock"), and Class B common stock, par value $0.001 per share with ten
votes per share ("Class B Common Stock").  In connection therewith, the Company
caused each of its outstanding shares of common stock to be split into a
certain number of shares of Class A Common Stock and a certain number of shares
of Class B Common Stock.

         C.      Effective December 22, 1994, the Company, the Senior Holders

all of the shares of the New Senior Preferred Stock, and reached additional
agreements and modified certain then existing agreements.

         D.      Effective December 22, 1994, the Company amended its

A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and preferred stock.

         E.      Effective December 22, 1994, the Company and the Junior

Agreement"), pursuant to which the Junior Holders subscribed for and purchased
pursuant thereto from the Company 33,000 shares of Junior Preferred Stock and
certain warrants (the "New Warrants") to purchase shares of Class C Common
Stock.  In connection therewith, the Company, the Senior Holders, the Junior
Holders and the Initial Management Investors entered into the Stockholders
Agreement.  The Stockholders Agreement, among other things, amended and
restated the Initial Stockholders Agreement and set forth certain rights of the
parties thereto with respect to certain interests in the Company.

         F.      Effective January 1, 1995, the Company effected a stock split
by the issuance of a dividend of one share of Class A Common Stock for each two
shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on such date and one share of Class
B Common Stock for each two shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding on such
date.

         G.      Effective April 1, 1995, the Holders and Initial Management
Investors executed a consent relating to the issuance of certain shares of
Class A Common Stock by the Company to Plymouth County Retirement Association.

         H.      Effective June 29, 1995, the Company filed three certificates

Communications Corp." to "Paxson Communications Corporation."

consent relating to, among other things, the Company's issuance of certain
senior subordinated notes and certain modifications of certain agreements
amongst the parties hereto.

         J.      Effective December 22, 1995, the parties hereto executed a
consent relating to, among other things, the pledge of certain Class A Common
Stock by one of the Initial Management Investors.

         K.      The Company recently began negotiating a proposal with certain
underwriters to commence a public offering of the Company's Class A Common
Stock in connection with a registration statement filed January 23, 1996, on
Form S-1 (the "Proposed Offering"), and pursuant to provisions of the
Registration Rights Provisions sent notification of such proposal to the
parties hereto and others (the "Offering Notification").  All of the parties
hereto, other than Paribas, responded to such notification with a request that
all of their Registrable Shares be registered in connection with the Proposed
Offering (the "Registration Requests").

         L.      The parties hereto have had various discussions concerning the
Proposed Offering, the Registration Requests and certain of the parties' rights
and obligations under documents referenced in these recitals.  Such discussions
have resulted in the parties reaching certain agreements which they desire to
memorialize herein.

         NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
adequacy of which is hereby acknowledged, each party hereto agrees as follows:

         1.      Proposed Offering.  (a)  As used in this Section 1, the 
following terms shall have the respective meanings set forth in this subsection
(a).  Certain additional defined terms used in this Section 1 are defined
elsewhere in this Agreement, including elsewhere in this Section 1.

                 "Additional Shares" means any and all shares of Class A Common
Stock and Warrants or other securities of the Company exercisable for or
convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock which the Underwriters (as
defined in subsection (b) of this Section 1) or Managers (as defined in
subsection (b) of this Section 1) shall have an option to purchase pursuant to
the U.S. Underwriting Agreement (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section
1) or the International Underwriting Agreement (as defined in subsection (b) of
this Section 1) for the purpose of covering over- allotments in connection with
the Proposed Offering.

                 "Firm Shares" means any and all shares of Class A Common Stock
and Warrants or other securities of the Company exercisable for or convertible
into shares of Class A Common Stock, other than Additional Shares, which are
purchased pursuant to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement or the International
Underwriting Agreement or otherwise in connection with the Proposed Offering.





                                       3
<PAGE>   5

                 "Unaffiliated Holder" means any Senior Holder or Junior Holder
which is a Participating Holder (as defined in subsection (b) of this Section
1).

         (b)     The Proposed Offering involves (i) the proposed sale by the
Company and the holders of securities of the Company named on Schedule I hereto
(the "Participating Holders") of shares, or Warrants or other securities of the
Company exercisable for or convertible into shares, of Class A Common Stock to
certain underwriters to be listed in a schedule to the U.S. Underwriting
Agreement referred to below (the "Underwriters"), for whom Smith Barney Inc.,
PaineWebber Incorporated, CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Corp. and BT Securities
Corporation are expected to act as representatives (the "Representatives"), for
distribution of such shares (such shares, warrants, and other shares to be sold
to the Underwriters, being sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "U.S.
Shares") to the public under a Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed on
January 26, 1996 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as such
Registration Statement is hereafter amended, and (ii) the proposed sale by the
Company and the Participating Holders of shares, or Warrants or other
securities of the Company exercisable for or convertible into shares, of Class
A Common Stock (such shares, warrants, and other shares to be sold to the
Managers, being sometimes hereinafter referred to as the "International
Shares") through arrangements with certain underwriters outside the United
States and Canada (the "Managers"), for whom Smith Barney Inc., PaineWebber
International, CIBC Wood Gundy Securities Corp. and Bankers Trust International
PLC are expected to act as lead managers (the "Lead Managers"), under such
Registration Statement.  Based on its discussions with the Representatives and
the Lead Managers to date, the Company anticipates that pursuant to the U.S.
Underwriting Agreement and the International Underwriting Agreement, and
subject to their respective terms and conditions, the Underwriters and the
Managers will commit to purchase from the Company and the Participating Holders
a specified number of Firm Shares and will be granted an "over-allotment"
option to purchase up to a specified number of Additional Shares.

         (c)     The parties to this Agreement have agreed that,
notwithstanding any provision of the Stockholders Agreement (including, without
limitation, the Registration Rights Provisions) apparently to the contrary:

                 (i)      Each of the Company and the Participating Holders
         (collectively, the "Sellers") shall be entitled to register and sell
         to the Underwriters or the Managers (A) the percentage of the total
         number of Firm Shares which are registered and sold to the
         Underwriters or the Managers by the Sellers which is set forth
         opposite the name of such Seller in Column A of Schedule I attached to
         this Agreement (such Seller's "Firm Share Allocation Percentage"), and
         (B) the





                                       4
<PAGE>   6

         percentage of the total number of Additional Shares which are
         registered and sold to the Underwriters or the Managers by the Sellers
         which is set forth opposite the name of such Seller in Column B of
         Schedule I attached to this Agreement (such Seller's "Additional Share
         Allocation Percentage").  By way of example, and without in any way
         limiting the applicability, meaning or intent of the foregoing
         sentence in any circumstances not corresponding to those assumed for
         purposes of such example, Schedule I attached to this Agreement
         contains an illustration of the operation of the foregoing sentence by
         setting forth the respective numbers of Firm Shares and Additional
         Shares that each of the Sellers would be entitled to register and sell
         to the Underwriters pursuant to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement and
         each of the Sellers would be entitled to register and sell to the
         Managers pursuant to the International Underwriting Agreement if it
         were assumed that (x) pursuant to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, the
         Underwriters purchased 9,200,000 Firm Shares and were granted an
         over-allotment option for 1,380,000 Additional Shares, and (y)
         pursuant to the International Underwriting Agreement, the Managers
         purchased 2,300,000 Firm Shares and were granted an over-allotment
         option for 345,000 Additional Shares.  The respective Firm Share
         Allocation Percentages and Additional Share Allocation Percentages of
         the Sellers set forth on Schedule I hereto shall apply regardless of
         the number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares (if any) which may be
         registered or sold in the Proposed Offering, regardless of whether
         such Firm Shares or Additional Shares are offered and sold in only one
         or both of domestic and international tranches and, if there are both
         domestic and international tranches, regardless of the allocation of
         such Firm Shares or Additional Shares between such tranches.  Unless
         all of the Selling Holders otherwise agree, the Company shall not
         agree to both (x) a reduction in the number of Additional Shares which
         the Underwriters or Managers are to have an option to purchase under
         the U.S. Underwriting Agreement or the International Underwriting
         Agreement, and (y) an increase in the number of Firm Shares which the
         Underwriters or the Managers are to purchase under the U.S.
         Underwriting Agreement or the International Underwriting Agreement.

                 (ii)     If any Seller notifies the Company in writing prior
         to the execution of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement and the
         International Underwriting Agreement that it shall not tender, at the
         closing of the sale and purchase of any Firm Shares or Additional
         Shares pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of the U.S.
         Underwriting Agreement or the International Underwriting Agreement,
         the full number of Firm Shares or Additional Shares which such
         Participating Holder is entitled to sell pursuant to the U.S.
         Underwriting Agreement or the International Underwriting Agreement and
         this Agreement, then the aggregate number of Firm Shares or Additional
         Shares (as





                                       5
<PAGE>   7

         the case may be) that the remaining Participating Holders (the "Other
         Sellers") shall be entitled to sell pursuant to the U.S. Underwriting
         Agreement or International Underwriting Agreement (as the case may be)
         shall be increased by the number of such shares that such Seller
         failed to tender (the "Extra Shares").  Unless all of the Other
         Sellers otherwise agree, the Extra Shares shall be allocated among the
         Other Sellers pro rata, based on (A) in the case of Extra Shares which
         are Firm Shares, the ratio which the Firm Share Allocation Percentage
         of each Other Seller bears to the sum of the Firm Share Allocation
         Percentages of all Other Sellers or (B) in the case of Extra Shares
         which are Additional Shares, the ratio which the Additional Share
         Allocation Percentage of each Other Seller bears to the sum of the
         Additional Share Allocation Percentages of all Other Sellers.  Each
         Other Seller shall have the option, but not the obligation, to elect
         to sell its proportionate part of such Extra Shares and may exercise
         such option in whole or in part.  If any such Other Seller declines or
         fails for any reason to exercise such option at all or in full, then
         the Extra Shares as to which such option was not exercised shall be
         apportioned among the remaining Other Sellers who exercised their
         options in full on a similar pro rata basis, and such process shall
         continue until either the full number of Extra Shares have been
         allocated to one or more Other Sellers or until each of the Other
         Sellers has obtained by this process of apportionment the right to
         sell the entire percentage of the Extra Shares that it desires.  If,
         after completion of such process, there remains any Extra Shares which
         have not been allocated to one or more Other Sellers, then the Company
         may increase by an equivalent number the number of Firm Shares or
         Additional Shares (as the case may be) which are to be sold by the
         Company pursuant to the U.S. Underwriting Agreement or the
         International Underwriting Agreement (as the case may be).  If any
         Seller fails or refuses for any reason to tender, at the closing of
         the sale and purchase of any Firm Shares or Additional Shares pursuant
         to and in accordance with the terms of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement
         or the International Underwriting Agreement, the full number of Firm
         Shares or Additional Shares which such Participating Holder is
         entitled to sell pursuant to such agreement and if such agreement is
         not terminated in accordance with its terms, then the aggregate number
         of Firm Shares or Additional Shares (as the case may be) that the
         remaining Sellers shall be entitled to sell pursuant to the U.S.
         Underwriting Agreement or the International Underwriting Agreement (as
         the case may be) shall be increased in such manner as the Company, the
         Senior Holders who are Participating Sellers (excluding any thereof
         who is such a nontendering Seller), the Junior Holders who are
         Participating Holders (excluding any thereof who is such a
         nontendering Seller) and the Representatives and the Managers shall
         agree (it being understood that such agreement may not





                                       6
<PAGE>   8

         be made on behalf of any Holder by any attorney-in-fact without the
         specific written authorization of such Holder given at the time).

                 (iii)    The Company covenants and agrees that (A) unless all
         of the Holders otherwise agree in writing, no Person not named on
         Schedule I hereto shall be entitled to register or sell securities in
         the Proposed Offering or either the domestic or international tranche
         thereof and (B) no Participating Holder shall be permitted to
         participate in the Proposed Offering on any basis which is more
         favorable than the basis on which any Holder is permitted to
         participate.  Without limiting the generality of subclause (B) of this
         clause (iii), no Holder shall be required to execute or deliver any
         underwriting agreement, custody agreement, power-of- attorney,
         "lock-up" agreement or other agreement or instrument which contains
         provisions that are materially more adverse to such Holder than the
         most favorable form thereof required of any Participating Holder
         (disregarding variations which appropriately reflect factual
         differences, such as differences in the form of organization of
         Participating Holders which are entities or in the number or type of
         securities held or being registered and sold by the Participating
         Holders).  Unless the Holders otherwise agree in writing, no Holder
         shall be required to make any representation, warranty, covenant or
         agreement to, with or for the benefit of the Company, the
         Underwriters, the Managers, the respective Affiliates of the foregoing
         or any other Person other than those set forth in the proofs of the
         proposed forms of the U.S. Underwriting Agreement, International
         Underwriting Agreement, custody agreement and power-of-attorney (the
         "Custody Agreement") and lock-up letter (the "Lock-up Letter")
         contained in Exhibits "A," "B," "C" and "D"hereto, respectively.  The
         foregoing, however, shall not be construed as preventing the Holders
         from participating in the Proposed Offering on a basis more favorable
         than the basis on which Participating Holders who are not Holders
         participate.  The Company shall not after the consummation of the
         Proposed Offering waive or release, or consent to the waiver or
         release by or on behalf of the Underwriters or Managers, of any
         obligation of any Participating Holder who is not an Unaffiliated
         Holder undertaken in connection with the Proposed Offering unless each
         Unaffiliated Holder is contemporaneously granted a similar waiver or
         release or otherwise treat, or consent to the treatment by the
         Underwriters or Managers of, the Unaffiliated Holders otherwise than
         on a basis at least as favorable as any Participating Holder who is
         not an Unaffiliated Holder.

                 (iv)     The Underwriters or Managers purchasing Warrants from
         Selling Holders shall deduct from the purchase price otherwise payable
         to each Selling Holder selling Warrants to





                                       7
<PAGE>   9

         the Underwriters the amount of the exercise price thereof determined
         in accordance with the terms thereof.  The Company shall take all
         actions reasonably necessary or which the Representative or Lead
         Manager shall reasonably request to facilitate the registration and
         sale to the Underwriters and U.S. Managers by any such Selling Holder
         of such Warrants.

                 (v)      Except as expressly modified hereby or by the
         definitive underwriting documents, the provisions of the Registration
         Rights Provisions applicable to Piggyback Registrations (as defined
         therein) generally shall be fully applicable to the Proposed Offering.
         Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the parties
         acknowledge and agree that no Holder shall be required to bear any
         expenses incurred in connection with the Proposed Offering other than
         those which Section 4 of the Registration Rights Provisions expressly
         provides are to be paid by such Holder and that all other such
         expenses are to be paid by the Company.  The Company and the Holders
         hereby reaffirm their respective obligations under Section 8 of the
         Registration Rights Provisions.  In no event shall any securities of
         the Company owned beneficially or of record by any Participating
         Holder who is not a Senior Holder, a Junior Holder or an Initial
         Management Investor be counted for the purposes of any provision of
         the Registration Rights Provisions under which any right, power,
         privilege or remedy is conferred upon or any action is required or
         permitted to be authorized by any Holder, Holders or group of Holders
         of any number of percentage of Registrable Shares or other securities.

                 (vi)     Each party hereto, other than the Company and
         Paribas, has executed and delivered to the Company herewith a Custody
         Agreement substantially in the form of that attached hereto as Exhibit
         "C" and a Lock-up Letter substantially in the form of that attached
         hereto as Exhibit "D."

         (d)     To the extent that such waiver is required for such purpose,
each party hereto hereby waives any provision of the Stockholders Agreement, or
any other agreement or instrument referred to therein to which such party
hereto is a party or which otherwise govern the terms of or such party's rights
or obligations with respect to securities of the Company held by such party
which, absent such waiver, would prevent any Holder or Initial Management
Investor from participating in the Proposed Offering on the basis and terms
contemplated hereby and by Exhibits "A," "B" and "C" hereto, impose any
restrictions upon such participation on such basis or terms, cause any of such
Person's representations and warranties contemplated by Exhibits "A," "B" and
"C" hereof to be untrue or prevent such Person from performing its obligations
contemplated by Exhibits "A," "B" and "C" hereof.  Such waiver shall terminate
if this Agreement terminates in accordance with its terms.





                                       8

         (e)     The Holders and the Initial Management Investors agree that,
provided that the Proposed Offering complies with the provisions of subsection
(c) of this Section 1, the provisions of the Registration Rights Provisions
referred to in clause (v) of such subsection and the provisions of the
definitive underwriting agreements, the "right of first refusal" provisions of
Section 6 of the Stockholders Agreement shall not apply to the issuance and
sale by the Company in the Proposed Offering of shares of Class A Common Stock
for its own account.


         2.      Document Modification.   Subject to the satisfaction of each

         2.6     Revisions To Registration Rights.  Notwithstanding any
provision of the Registration Rights Provisions to the contrary, the parties
agree:

                 (a)      Any request by any Holder or Holders for a Demand
Registration pursuant to Section 2 of the Registration Rights Provisions may,
at the election of the requesting Holder or Holders by specification in the
applicable Demand Registration Request, include a request that all or any of
the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Demand Registration be
registered under the Securities Act for offering and sale on a delayed or
continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (a "Shelf
Registration").  In the event of any such request for a Shelf Registration, the
Company's Demand Registration Notice shall state that such request was for or
included a Shelf Registration.  To the extent that a Demand Registration
Request is for or includes a Shelf Registration, neither the Holder or Holders
requesting such Shelf Registration nor any other Participating Holder
participating in such Shelf Registration shall be required to include in the
applicable Demand Registration Request or any other request for inclusion in
such Shelf Registration made in accordance with subsection 2(a) of the
Registration Rights Provision or otherwise provide information with respect to
the desired price range for the Registrable Shares requested to be included
therein by any Requesting Holder or the intended method or methods of
disposition or distribution thereof except to the extent and at the time or
times required in order to satisfy the requirements of Items 508 and
512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.  The method or methods
of distribution of the Registrable Shares of any Participating Holder included
in any Shelf Registration may be any method or methods permitted by Rule 415 of
the Securities Act and any such Participating Holder may change such method or
methods of distribution at any time and from time to time while the





                                       19
<PAGE>   21

Registration Statement relating to such Shelf Registration is required to
remain effective in accordance with the terms of subsection 2.6(b) hereof,
provided that such Participating Holder provides to the Company the information
reasonably required to permit compliance with Items 508 and 512(a)(1)(iii) of
Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC.

                 (b)      The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to keep
each Registration Statement filed with respect to any Shelf Registration
continuously effective for a period of two years from the date on which the SEC
declares such Registration Statement effective.  Such period shall be
automatically extended by the aggregate number of days, if any, during which
any delay, deferral, postponement or suspension is in effect with respect to
such Registration Statement or any offering or distribution of Registrable
Shares covered by such Shelf Registration pursuant to subsection 2(g) of the
Registration Rights Provisions.

                 (c)      The Company shall effect any Shelf Registration
requested pursuant to the Registration Rights Provisions and this Agreement on
a registration statement of the Company under the Securities Act on any form
for which the Company then qualifies and which permits the offering and
distribution thereunder of the number of Registrable Shares to be included
therein in accordance with the method(s) of distribution determined in
accordance with the Registration Rights Provisions and this Agreement.  If, in
connection with any Existing Demand Registration (whether or not for or
including a Shelf Registration), the Company proposes to effect such
registration through the filing of a Registration Statement on a particular
registration form available for such registration under the Securities Act and
the Majority Holders with respect to such registration under the Securities Act
and the Majority Holders with respect to such Demand Registration shall advise
the Company in writing of its or their reasonable and good faith opinion that
the use of another available form is of material importance to the success of
the proposed offering or sale or other distribution contemplated, then such
Demand Registration shall be effected on such other form.

                 (d)      The fact that a Registration Statement with regard to
a Shelf Registration is effective as of a particular time shall not prejudice
or otherwise affect the rights of the Participating Holders or any other Holder
to request a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2 of the Registration
Rights Provisions, to participate in any such Demand Registration requested by
any other Holder of Registrable Shares or to exercise piggyback registration
rights under Section 3 of the Registration Rights Provisions.  Any Holder may
withdraw all or any portion of the Registrable Shares of such Holder from a
Shelf Registration at any time or from time to time or from a Piggyback
Registration at any time prior to the effective date of the Registration
Statement related to such Piggyback Registration.

                 (e)      Except as otherwise expressly provided in the
Registration Rights Provisions with respect to the participation rights of the
Holders of Registrable Shares, neither the Company nor any other Person except
the Holders exercising a Demand Registration pursuant to subsection 2.6 hereof
shall be permitted to include any shares of Common Stock or other securities
for registration, offering, sale or distribution in any Demand Registration,
and the Company hereby represents, warrants and covenants to the Holders that
the Company has not granted and shall not grant any Person any right to so
include any such shares or other securities.

         2.7      Revision To Piggyback Registration Rights Provisions.  If, in
the case of any of the three Demand Registrations which may be requested by the
Holders of Existing Registrable Shares pursuant to subsection 2(c) of the
Registration Rights Provisions, any Holder or Holders of Existing Registrable
Shares who is a Participating Holder in such Demand Registration shall be
required, pursuant to subsection 2(d) or 2(e) of the Registration Rights
Provisions, to exclude from such Demand Registration any Registrable Shares
which such Holder or Holders duly requested to be included therein, then,
notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Registration Rights
Provisions, such Holder or Holders may elect to require that Management
Registrable Shares requested to be included therein, if any, be excluded
therefrom before any Existing Registerable Shares are excluded therefrom and,
if such election is made, no Existing Registrable Shares shall be excluded
therefrom unless or until all Management Registrable Shares requested to be
included therein, if any, shall have been excluded therefrom; provided,
however, that such election may be exercised only once (with such one election
by any one Holder of Existing Registrable Shares precluding all other holders
of Existing Registrable Shares from ever making any such election), although
that single exercise may be with respect to any of the three Demand
Registrations which may be requested by the Holders of Existing Registrable
Shares referred to above, it being further agreed that if such election is
exercised with respect to any pending Demand Registration requested by the
Holders of Existing Registrable Shares which, by virtue of subsection 2(c) or
any other provision of the Registration Rights Provisions, does not count as
one of such three Demand Registrations which may be requested by Holders of
Existing Registrable Shares, then such election shall be deemed not to have
been exercised.  Accordingly, for purposes of any such Demand Registration as
to which such an election is made, (i) all such Management Registrable Shares
shall be disregarded for purposes of determining the Majority Holders with
respect to such Demand Registration and (ii) the Allocation Percentages for
purposes thereof shall be 73.4% for the Existing Registrable Shares, 24.5% for
the BTIP/FUCV Registrable Shares, 2.1% for the Other New Registrable Share and
0 (zero)% for the Management Registrable Shares.

         2.8     Revisions To Public Sales By The Company and Others.  Section
6(a) of the Registration Rights Provisions shall be amended as follows:  (i)
the phrase "nor its Affiliates (other than Holders)" in the first sentence of
Section 6(a) of the Registration Rights Provisions is deleted in its entirety
and replaced with ", its Affiliates, nor any Holder" and (ii) the first
sentence of Section 6(a) of the Registration Rights Provisions shall be further
amended by adding the following proviso thereto at the end thereof:  "provided,
however, that the foregoing restriction shall in any event apply to Holders
only with respect to a Demand Registration or a Piggyback Registration which is
for an underwritten offering of equity securities of the same class or series
as any class or series as the Registrable Shares, only if and to the extent
requested by the managing underwriter or underwriters of such offering and only
with respect to the public sale or distribution by such Holders of securities
of such class or series."

         2.9     Elimination of Warrant Put Rights.

                 (a)      Section 2.4 of the Stockholders Agreement is deleted
in its entirety.  The definition in Section 1.1 of the Stockholders Agreement
of the term "Exercise Period" is also deleted in its entirety.

                 (b)      Section 2.5 of the Stockholders Agreement is amended
and restated in its entirety as follows:

                          "2.5    Limitations on the Company's Obligations to
                 Repurchase Senior Preferred Stock.  The Company will not be
                 required to purchase Senior Preferred Stock pursuant to an
                 exercise of any Senior General Put (an "Existing Put") to the
                 extent that a violation of law or a breach of or a default or
                 event of default under the Existing Credit Agreement, any
                 other material credit agreement, indenture or other
                 contractual obligation of any Company Party would result
                 (whether with notice, lapse of time or under applicable law);
                 provided, however, that the Company will comply with Section
                 2.2(e) hereof and also take, and cause the other Company
                 Parties to take, all reasonable lawful actions to avoid or
                 cure such violation, breach, default or event of default and
                 enable the Company to make such purchase to the fullest extent
                 reasonably possible without thereby being rendered insolvent,
                 including, without limitation (subject to the voting and other
                 rights of the Existing Investors and the New Investors
                 hereunder and of holders of the Preferred Stock, Warrants and
                 Warrant Shares generally, including without limitation any
                 such rights as set forth in the Existing Senior Certificate of
                 Designations, the new Senior Certificate of Designations, the
                 Junior Certificate of Designations, the Certificate of
                 Incorporation of the Company, the bylaws of the Company

                 or pursuant to applicable law): (i) the sale of additional
                 equity securities, (ii) any necessary action under applicable
                 law to reduce the Company's stated capital or otherwise
                 increase the Company's surplus or other funds legally
                 available, (iii) additional borrowings by, or a refinancing
                 of, any Company Party, (iv) asset sales by any Company Party
                 and (v) sales of one or more Company Parties to third parties.
                 Any such actions enumerated in (i)-(v) of the preceding
                 sentence that are taken by the Company will be subject to
                 Section 8.

         2.10    Acquisition of WFSJ-FM.  In connection with the Company's
                 proposed acquisition of all of the outstanding capital stock
                 of Todd Communications Inc. ("TCI") (by merger with a
                 Subsidiary of the Company or otherwise), a corporation owned
                 by members of Lowell W. Paxson's family that owns WFSJ-FM, in
                 consideration for the issuance by the Company to the
                 stockholders of TCI shares of Class A Common Stock having an
                 approximate value of $1,700,000 (with each such share being
                 valued at the price which a share of Class A Common Stock is
                 offered to the public in the Proposed Offering), with the
                 Company or TCI promptly thereafter repaying TCI's indebtedness
                 in the approximate amount of $1,600,000 to Lowell W. Paxson,
                 the Holders agree that:

                 (a)      The appraisal report of substantially all of the
                          assets of WFSJ-FM,  dated December 1, 1995, setting
                          forth an appraised value therefor of $5,000,000
                          shall be a sufficient basis for the Board of
                          Directors' determination of the "Fair Market Value"
                          of the stock of TCI, in lieu of the Company obtaining
                          an opinion of an "Investment Banking Firm" as
                          required by Section 12(e)(i) of the Existing Warrant
                          Agreement and Section 11(e)(i) of the New Warrant
                          Agreement.

                 (b)      Any requirement under Subsection 7.1(a) or (b) of the
                          Stockholders Agreement to obtain the opinion of an
                          "Appraiser" with respect to the Company's proposed
                          acquisition of TCI is waived.

                 (c)      The shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to
                          the stockholders of TCI in the transaction described
                          above shall be deemed "Additional Securities" under
                          the Stockholders Agreement.

         2.11    Issuance of Class A Common Stock upon exercise of New
                 Warrants.  For the benefit of any Person who may now or
                 hereafter hold any New Warrant or any share of Class C Common
                 Stock issued upon the exercise of any New Warrant, the Company
                 agrees that, at any time after 90 days after





                                       23
<PAGE>   25

                 the closing of the Proposed Offering and from time to time at
                 the request of any such holder, the Company will issue to such
                 holder one (1) validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable
                 share of Class A Common Stock in exchange for each share of
                 Class C Common Stock which such holder requests that the
                 Company exchange therefor, without the payment of any
                 additional consideration by such holder; provided that any
                 such holder shall have the right to require the Company to
                 effect any such issuance and exchange only to that extent
                 that, after giving effect to such issuance and exchange,
                 neither such holder nor any of its Affiliates nor any "group"
                 (as that term is used in Rule 13d-5(b) under the Securities
                 Exchange Act of 1934 as in effect March 26, 1996) of Persons
                 of which such holder (or any of its Affiliates) is a member
                 shall be the "beneficial owner" (as that term is defined in
                 Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act as in effect
                 March 26, 1996) of 5% or more of the issued and outstanding
                 shares of Class A Common Stock.  Any such exchange shall be
                 requested by written notice to the Company, which may be given
                 in connection with the exercise of any New Warrant, and will
                 be effected by the Company promptly (but in any event within
                 five (5) business days) thereafter, and any such notice will
                 be accompanied by the stock certificate, if any, which
                 evidences the share(s) of Class C Common Stock to be so
                 exchanged.  All provisions of the Stockholders Agreement, the
                 New Purchase Agreement, the New Warrant Agreement and any
                 other agreement to which the Company is a party and which
                 applies to any share of Class C Common Stock which is so
                 surrendered shall apply to any share of Class A Common Stock
                 which is so issued as if such share of Class A Common Stock
                 were still the share of Class C Common Stock exchanged
                 therefor.


         3.      Conditions to Effectiveness of Provisions of Section 2.  The
provisions of Section 2 shall automatically become effective simultaneously
with each of the following conditions having been satisfied on or prior to May
1, 1996 (and an executive officer executing a certificate on behalf of the
Company to the Holders and making such certificate available at the closing of
the Proposed Offering for receipt by the Holders that such satisfaction has
occurred):

                 (a)      The Company consummating the sale for the Company's
account in the Proposed Offering pursuant to an effective registration
statement under the Securities Act of shares of the Company's Class A Common
Stock, with such sale (i) resulting in the immediate receipt by the Company of
gross cash proceeds of not less than $103,000,000, and (ii) at a price to the
public of at least $10.00 per share of Class A Common Stock sold (as such
amount per





                                       24
<PAGE>   26

share may be proportionately decreased to reflect any stock dividend, stock
split or other subdivision of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be
effected after March 26, 1996 and as such per share amount may be
proportionately increased to reflect any reverse stock split or other
combination of shares of Class A Common Stock which may be effected after March
26, 1996).

                 (b)      The Holders having been permitted to register under
such registration statement for sale to the underwriters in connection with the
Proposed Offering the shares of the Class A Common Stock or Warrants owned by
them in accordance with Section 1 hereof at the same net cash price per share
as the shares sold for the Company's account, less, in the case of a sale of
Warrants to the underwriters, an additional amount equal to the aggregate
exercise price payable upon the exercise of any Warrants (determined in
accordance with their terms) sold by such party to the underwriters, and such
sale by the Holders to the underwriters of such shares or Warrants at such net
price being consummated.

                 (c)      All representations and warranties of the Company
contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct when made and on the date
when all other conditions set forth in this Section 3 have been satisfied, and
as of such date the Company shall have performed in all material respects all
obligations and agreements, and complied in all material respects with all
covenants and conditions, contained in this Agreement or in any other
instrument or document referred to herein to be performed or complied with by
it prior to or on such date.

                 (d)      No action, suit, proceeding or investigation will
have been instituted which seeks to restrain, restrict or prohibit or impose
substantial penalties or damages with respect to (or any other materially
adverse relief or remedy in connection with), and no injunction, restraining or
similar order issued by a court of competent jurisdiction or by any federal or
state regulatory or administrative agency will be in effect that restrains,
restricts or prohibits or imposes substantial penalties or damages with respect
to (or any other materially adverse relief or remedy in connection with) the
consummation of any of the transactions contemplated hereby.

                 (e)      No Persons except the Company and the parties named
on Schedule I shall sell Common Stock or Warrants to the underwriters in the
Proposed Offering.

         If any of the foregoing conditions shall not have been satisfied on or
prior to May 1, 1996, then a Majority- in-Interest of the Senior Holders, a
Majority-in-Interest of the Junior Holders or a Majority-in-Interest of the
Initial Management Investors, in any of their sole discretion, may at any time
thereafter, but prior to the consummation of the aforementioned public
offering, elect to terminate this Agreement by not fewer than five days'
advance





                                       25
<PAGE>   27

written notice to the Company to such effect.  If such conditions shall have
been satisfied on or prior to such date or the expiration of any such five-day
period, then the provisions of Section 2 hereof shall take effect as of the
date of satisfaction of the last of such conditions to be satisfied.  If such
conditions have not been satisfied on or prior to the expiration of any such
five-day period, the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 hereof shall automatically
without further obligation or liability of any party hereto terminate and none
of the amendments, modifications or interpretations of any of the documents
referenced herein shall become effective.

         4.      Representations and Warranties of the Company To Each of the
Holders and Initial Management Investors.  The Company represents and warrants
to each of the Holders and Initial Management Investors as follows: (i) the

separately and independently entitled to rely on the representations and

         7.3     Binding Effect; Successors and Assigns; Entire Agreement.
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing in this Agreement,
express or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give
any Person (including creditors, stockholders, Affiliates of the Company or any
underwriter or prospective underwriter with respect to the Proposed Offering)
other than the parties hereto any remedy or claim under or by reason of this
Agreement or any term, covenant or condition hereof, all of which shall be for
the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties.  This Agreement and all of the
provisions hereof shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties
and their respective successors, heirs, executors, legal representatives and
permitted assigns; provided, however, that, except as otherwise specifically
permitted or contemplated by this Agreement, neither this Agreement nor any of
the rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder shall be assigned
or delegated by the Company without the prior written consent of the Holders,
other than any provision herein which modifies another agreement referenced
herein, which shall be assignable or delegatable by the Company as permitted in
such other document.  The provisions of Section 2.5 hereof shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, each present and future holder of any
Existing Warrant.  The provisions of Section 2.6 hereof shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, each present and future Holder of
Registrable Shares.  The provisions of Section 2.7 hereof shall inure to the
benefit of, and be enforceable by, each present and any future Holder of an
Existing Registrable Share.  The provisions of Section 2.11 hereof shall inure
to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, each present and future Holder of any
New Warrants or any Class C Common Stock issued upon the exercise of any New
Warrant.  This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding
among the parties hereto as to the specific subject matter hereof and merges
and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any and
every nature among them with respect to such subject matter.  In the event of
any conflict or inconsistency between the provisions of this Agreement and the
provisions of the Exchange Agreement or any other Transaction Agreement, the
provisions of this Agreement shall govern.

         7.4     Amendments and Waivers.  The provisions of this Agreement,
including the provision of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or
supplemented unless approved in writing by each of (a), the Company, (b)
Management Investors holding a Majority-in-Interest of the Common Stock held by
the Management Investor Group, (c) Senior Holders holding a
Majority-in-Interest of the Shares of each Class held by the Senior Holders,
and (d) Junior Holders holding a Majority-in-Interest of the Shares of each
Class held by the Junior Holders.  Except as specifically waived and modified
hereby, each of the Certificates of Designations, the Stockholders Agreement,
and all agreements and other documents heretofore executed and delivered among
the Company and/or any or all of the Holders will remain in full force and
effect and are





                                       29
<PAGE>   31

hereby ratified and confirmed, and the execution and delivery of this Agreement
will not, except as expressly provided herein, operate as a waiver of any
right, power or remedy of any Holder under any of the Certificates of
Designations, the Stockholders Agreement, or any such other agreement or
document.  Without limiting the foregoing, the agreements and modifications set
forth in this Agreement will be limited precisely as set forth herein, and
nothing in this Agreement will be deemed (i) to constitute a waiver of
compliance by any party hereto with respect to, or modification of, any other
provision or condition of any of the Certificates of Designations, the
Stockholders Agreement, or any such other agreement or document; or (ii) to
prejudice any right or remedy that any party hereto may now have or may have in
the future under or in connection with any of the Certificates of Designations,
the Stockholders Agreement, or any such other agreement or document.

         7.5     Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by, and will
be construed in accordance with, the laws of the state of New York, without
regard to conflict or choice of law principles of the state of New York which
might otherwise cause the internal laws of any other jurisdiction to be
applied.

         7.6     Interpretation.  The headings of the sections contained in
this Agreement are solely for the purpose of reference, are not part of the
agreement of the parties and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of
this Agreement.

         7.7     No Implied Waivers.  No action taken pursuant to this
Agreement, including, without limitation, any investigation by or on behalf of
any party, shall be deemed to constitute a waiver by the party taking such
action of compliance with any representations, warranties, agreements,
covenants, obligations or commitments contained herein or made pursuant hereto.
The waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall
not operate or be construed as a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach
and no failure by any party to exercise any right, privilege or remedy
hereunder shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights, privileges or
remedies hereunder or shall be deemed a waiver of such party's rights to
exercise the same at any subsequent time or times hereunder.

         7.8     Counterparts.  This instrument may be executed in two or more
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which
together shall constitute one instrument.  This Agreement will become effective
when executed by either (a) all of the parties hereto, or (b) each of (i) the
Company, (ii) each Initial Management Investor, (iii) a Majority-in-Interest of
holders of Senior Preferred Stock and (iv) a Majority-in-Interest of holders of
the Junior Preferred Stock, and an opinion of counsel to the Company addressed
to the Holders that the failure of all of the parties hereto executing this
Agreement shall not prevent this





                                       30
<PAGE>   32

Agreement from becoming effective against the Company, the Initial Management
Investors and all of the Holders in accordance with the terms hereof.

         7.9      Fees and Expenses.  Whether or not the Proposed Offering is
consummated or the provisions of Section 2 ever become effective, the Company
covenants and agrees to pay promptly the Holders' reasonable costs and expenses
in connection with the negotiation, preparation, review, execution, delivery
and performance of this Agreement and any and all other agreements,
instruments, certificates and other documents furnished pursuant hereto or in
connection herewith including the fees and disbursements of the Holders'
respective legal counsel; provided, however, that the Company shall not be
required to pay costs and expenses required to be paid by the Holders under
Section 4 of the Registration Rights Provisions or any costs or expenses of a
Holder that breaches any agreement or covenant in this Agreement or any
agreement contemplated to be delivered by or on behalf of such holder hereby.

         7.10    Further Assurances.  Each party shall cooperate and take such
actions as may be reasonably requested by another party in order to carry out
the provisions and purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby.  If the provision of Section 2 hereof becomes effective as provided in
Section 3 hereof, such actions shall include, but not be limited to, the
parties promptly taking (at the Company's expense) all such corporate and other
actions as may be reasonably requested of each such party by the Company
(including action required under any applicable Requirements of Law) to amend
the Existing Senior Certificates of Designations, the New Senior Certificate of
Designations or the Company's certificate of incorporation to provide therein
for the changes thereto set forth herein and to consent to or vote in favor of
each such amendment if the same is presented to it by the Company for a vote or
written consent, as the case may be; provided, the Company shall not be
required to obtain any additional approval of any party hereto to accomplish
any such action.

of even date herewith, pursuant to which Paxson shall provide programming for

         D.      CNI-13 desires to grant to Paxson an exclusive and irrevocable

organizational documents, (ii) result in a default (or give rise to any right
of termination, cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms,
conditions or provisions of any note, bond, mortgage, agreement, or lease to
which CNI-13 is a party or by which any of the FCC Licenses or the other Assets
are bound, or (iii) violate any statute, law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
injunction or decree applicable to CNI-13, the FCC Licenses or the other
Assets.

         6.      Representations and Warranties of Paxson.  Paxson represents
and warrants to CNI-13 as follows:

                 (a)      Paxson has full corporate power and authority to
execute and deliver this Option Agreement and to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.  The execution and delivery of this Option Agreement and
the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Paxson have been
duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
Paxson.  This Option Agreement has been duly and validly executed and delivered
by Paxson and constitutes a legal, valid and binding agreement of Paxson
enforceable against Paxson in accordance with its terms, except as such

enforcement of equitable remedies.

                 (b)      Except for the FCC Consent, there is no requirement
applicable to Paxson to make any filing with, or to obtain any permit,
authorization, consent or approval of, any governmental or regulatory authority
or any other third party as a condition to the consummation by Paxson of the
transactions contemplated by this Option Agreement and the Option Purchase
Agreement.

                 (c)      Subject to obtaining the FCC Consent, the execution,
delivery and performance of this Option Agreement and the Option Purchase
Agreement by Paxson will not (i) conflict with Paxson's organizational
documents, (ii) result in a default (or give rise to any right of termination,
cancellation or acceleration) under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
of any note, bond, mortgage, agreement, or lease to which Paxson is a party or
by which any of its assets are bound, or (iii) violate any statute, law, rule,
regulation, order, writ, injunction or decree applicable to Paxson.

         7.      Covenants of CNI-13.  CNI-13 will not commit any act that is
inconsistent with the grant of the Option to Paxson or the transactions

each other and their respective counsel and accountants in





                                     - 3 -


<PAGE>   5

connection with any steps required to be taken as part of their respective
obligations under this Option Agreement and the Option Purchase Agreement and
will each use their respective best efforts to perform or fulfill all
conditions and obligations to be performed or fulfilled by them under this
Option Agreement and the Option Purchase Agreement so that the transactions
contemplated hereby shall be consummated.

         9.      Specific Performance.  The parties recognize that if CNI-13
breaches this Option Agreement and refuses to perform under the provisions of
this Option Agreement, monetary damages alone would not be adequate to
compensate Paxson for its injury.  Paxson shall therefore be entitled, in
addition to any other remedies that may be available, including money damages,
to obtain specific performance of the terms of this Option Agreement.  If any
action is brought by Paxson to enforce this Option Agreement, CNI-13 shall
waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

         10.     Notices.  All notices, demands, and requests required or
permitted to be given under the provisions of this Option Agreement shall be
(a) in writing, (b) delivered by personal delivery, or sent by commercial
delivery service or registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, (c)
deemed to have been given on the date of personal delivery or the date set
forth in the records of the delivery service or on the return receipt, and (d)
addressed as follows:

         1.3     Scope.  During the term of this Agreement and any renewal
thereof, Licensee shall make available to Programmer broadcast time upon the
Station as set forth in this Agreement.  Programmer shall deliver such
programming, at its expense, to the Station's transmitter facilities or other
authorized remote control points as reasonably designated by Licensee.  Subject
to Licensee's reasonable approval, as set forth in this Agreement, Programmer
shall provide programming of Programmer's selection complete with commercial
matter, news, public service announcements and other suitable programming to
the Licensee up to ninety-eight hours per week.  Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Licensee may designate such additional time as it may require without any
adjustment of the monthly consideration to be paid to Licensee under Section
1.5 for the broadcast of programming necessary for the Station to broadcast
news, public affairs, children's, religious and non-entertainment programming
as required by the FCC.  All program time not reserved by or designated for
Licensee shall be available for use by Programmer and no other party.

         1.4     Option to Renew.  Subject to the termination provisions of
Section 6 hereof, this Agreement may be renewed for an additional term as

Sections 1.8 and 2.3 hereof.  Licensee shall employ at its expense management
level and other employees consisting of a General Manager and such operational
and other personnel as outlined in the budget previously provided to
Programmer, who will direct the day-to-day operations of the Station, and who
will report to and be accountable to the Licensee.  Licensee shall be
responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related costs for all
personnel employed by the Station and shall maintain insurance satisfactory to

and warrants as follows:

                 (a)      Licensee owns and holds or will hold all licenses and
other permits and authorizations necessary for the operation of the Station,
and such licenses, permits and authorizations are and will be in full force and

Licensee's best knowledge, threatened, any action by the FCC or by any other
party to revoke, cancel, suspend, refuse to renew or modify adversely any of
such licenses, permits or authorizations.  Licensee is not in material
violation of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, policy, order or decree
of any federal, state or local entity, court or authority having jurisdiction
over it or the Station, which would have an adverse effect upon the Licensee,
the Station or upon Licensee's ability to perform this Agreement.  Licensee
shall not take any action or omit to take any action which would have an
adverse impact upon the Licensee, the Station or upon Licensee's ability to
perform this Agreement.  All reports and applications required to be filed with
the FCC or any other governmental body have been, and during the course of the
term of this Agreement or any renewal thereof, will be filed in a timely and
complete manner.  During the term of this Agreement and any renewal thereof,
Licensee shall not dispose of, transfer, assign or pledge any of Licensee's
assets and properties except with the prior written consent of the Programmer,
if such action would adversely affect Licensee's performance hereunder or the
business and operations of Licensee or the Station permitted hereby.

                 (b)      Licensee shall pay, in a timely fashion, all of the

by Programmer shall be in addition to any other payments to be made by
Programmer under this Agreement.

         1.9     Contracts.  Programmer will enter into no third-party

SECTION 2.  STATION OBLIGATIONS TO ITS COMMUNITY OF LICENSE

         2.1     Licensee Authority.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Programmer recognizes that Licensee has certain obligations to
broadcast programming to meet the needs and interests of viewers in Mt. Vernon,
Illinois, the station's service area and the educational and informational
needs of children.  From time to time the Licensee shall air specific
programming on issues of importance to the local community and educational and
informational programming for children.  Nothing in this Agreement shall
abrogate the unrestricted authority of the Licensee to discharge its
obligations to the public and to comply with the Act and the rules and policies
of the FCC.

         2.2     Additional Licensee Obligations.  Although both parties shall
cooperate in the broadcast of emergency information over the Station, Licensee
shall also retain the right to interrupt Programmer's programming in case of an
emergency or for programming which, in the good faith judgment of Licensee, is
of greater local or national public importance.  Licensee shall also coordinate
with Programmer the Station's hourly station identification and any other
announcements required to be aired by FCC rules.  Licensee shall continue to
maintain a main studio, as that term is defined by the FCC, within the
Station's principal community contour, shall maintain its local public
inspection file in accordance with FCC rules, regulations and policies, and
shall prepare and place in such inspection file or files in a timely manner all
material required by Section 73.3526 of the FCC's Rules, including without
limitation the Station's quarterly issues and program lists; information
concerning the broadcast of children's educational and informational
programming; and documentation of compliance with commercial limits applicable
to certain children's television programming.  Programmer shall, upon request
by Licensee, provide Licensee with such information concerning Programmer's
programs and advertising as is necessary to assist Licensee in the preparation
of such information.  Licensee shall also maintain the station logs, receive
and respond to telephone inquiries, and control and oversee any remote control
point which may be established for the Station.

         2.3     Responsibility for Employees and Expenses.  Programmer shall
employ and be solely responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related
costs for all personnel used in the production of its programming (including,
but not limited to, salespeople, technical staff, traffic personnel, board
operators and programming staff).  Licensee will provide and be responsible for
the Station personnel necessary for the broadcast transmission of its own
programs (including, without limitation, the Station's General Manager and such
operational and other personnel as may be necessary or appropriate), and will

Whenever on the Station's premises, all personnel shall be subject to the
overall supervision of Licensee's General Manager.

SECTION 3.  STATION PROGRAMMING POLICIES

         3.1     Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement.  Licensee has
adopted and will enforce a Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement (the
"Policy Statement"), a copy of which appears as Attachment III hereto and which
may be amended in a reasonable manner from time to time by Licensee upon notice
to Programmer.  Programmer agrees and covenants to comply in all material
respects with the Policy Statement, to all rules and regulations of the FCC,
and to all changes subsequently made by Licensee or the FCC.  Programmer shall
furnish or cause to be furnished the artistic personnel and material for the
programs as provided by this Agreement and all programs shall be prepared and
presented in conformity with the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and
with the Policy Statement set forth in Attachment III hereto.  All advertising
spots and promotional material or announcements shall comply with applicable
federal, state and local regulations and policies and shall be produced in
accordance with quality standards established by Programmer.  If Licensee
determines that a program supplied by Programmer is for any reason, within
Licensee's sole discretion, unsatisfactory or unsuitable or contrary to the
public interest, or does not comply with the Policy Statement it may, upon
prior written notice to Programmer (to the extent time permits such notice),
suspend or cancel such program without liability to Programmer.  Licensee will
use reasonable efforts to provide such written notice to Programmer prior to
the suspension or cancellation of such program.

         3.2     Licensee Control of Programming.  Programmer recognizes that
the Licensee has full authority to control the operation of the Station.  The
parties agree that Licensee's authority includes but is not limited to the
right to reject or refuse such portions of the Programmer's programming which
Licensee believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the public
interest.  Programmer shall have the right to change the programming supplied
to Licensee and shall give Licensee at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of
substantial and material changes in such programming.

         3.3     Programmer Compliance with Copyright Act.  Programmer
represents and warrants to Licensee that Programmer has full authority to
broadcast its programming on the Station, and that Programmer shall not
broadcast any material in violation of the Copyright Act.  All music supplied
by Programmer shall be:  (i) licensed by ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in the
public domain; or (iii) cleared at the source by Programmer.  Licensee will
maintain ASCAP, BMI and SESAC licenses as necessary.  The right to use the
programming and to authorize its use in any manner shall be and remain vested
in Programmer.

                                     - 6 -




         3.4     Sales.  Programmer shall retain all of the Station's network
compensation revenues, any revenues received from any network or program
supplier with respect to affiliation or use of programming by Programmer, any
retransmission consent revenues and all revenues from the sale of advertising
time within the programming it provides to the Licensee.  Programmer shall be
responsible for payment of the commissions due to any national sales
representative engaged by it for the purpose of selling national advertising
which is carried during the programming it provides to Licensee.  Unless
otherwise agreed between the parties, Licensee shall retain all revenues from
the sale of Station's advertising during the hours each week in which the
Licensee airs its own programming pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof.

         3.5     Children's Television Advertising.  Programmer agrees that it
will not broadcast advertising within programs originally designed for children
aged 12 years and under in excess of the amounts permitted under applicable FCC
rules, and will take all steps necessary to pre-screen children's programming
broadcast during the hours it is providing such programming, to establish that
advertising is not being broadcast in excess of the applicable FCC rules.

         3.6     Payola.  Programmer agrees that it will not accept any
consideration, compensation, gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever,
regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to, a commission,
discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively "Consideration"), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or
agreements between Programmer and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is
identified in the program for which Consideration was provided as having paid
for or furnished such Consideration, in accordance with the Act and FCC
requirements.  Programmer agrees to annually, or more frequently at the request
of the Licensee, execute and provide Licensee with a Payola Affidavit from each
of its employees involved with the Station substantially in the form attached
hereto as Attachment IV.

         3.7     Cooperation on Programming.  Programmer and Licensee mutually
acknowledge their interest in ensuring that the Station serves the needs and
interests of viewers in Mt. Vernon and the surrounding service area and agree
to cooperate to provide such service.  Licensee shall, on a regular basis,
assess the issues of concern to residents of Mt.  Vernon and the surrounding
area and address those issues in its public service programming.  Programmer,
in cooperation with Licensee, will endeavor to ensure that programming
responsive to the needs and interests of the community of license and
surrounding area is broadcast, in compliance with applicable FCC requirements.
Licensee will describe those issues and the programming that is broadcast in
response to those issues and place issues/programs lists in the Station's
public inspection file as required by FCC rules.  Further,
<PAGE>   8

                                     - 7 -



Licensee may request, and Programmer shall provide, information concerning such
of Programmer's programs as are responsive to community issues so as to assist
Licensee in the satisfaction of its public service programming obligations.
Licensee shall also evaluate the local need for children's educational and
informational programming and shall inform Programmer of its conclusions in
that regard.  Licensee, in cooperation with Programmer, will ensure that
educational and informational programming for children is broadcast over the
Station in compliance with applicable FCC requirements.  Programmer shall also
provide Licensee upon request such other information necessary to enable
Licensee to prepare records and reports required by the Commission or other
local, state or federal government entities.

         3.8     Staffing Requirements.  Licensee will be in full compliance
with the main studio staff requirements as specified by the FCC.

SECTION 4.  INDEMNIFICATION

         4.1     Programmer's Indemnification.  Programmer shall indemnify and
hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all claims, losses, costs,
liabilities, damages, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal fees
and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and description
(collectively, "Damages") resulting from (i) Programmer's breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or
(ii) any action taken by Programmer or its employees and agents with respect to
the Station, or any failure by Programmer or its employees and agents to take
any action with respect to the Station, including, without limitation, Damages
relating to violations of the Act or any rule, regulation or policy of the FCC,
slander, defamation or other claims relating to programming provided by
Programmer and Programmer's broadcast and sale of advertising time on the
Station.

         4.2     Licensee's Indemnification.  Licensee shall indemnify and hold
harmless Programmer from and against any and all claims, losses, consents,
liabilities, damages, FCC forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and
description, arising out of Licensee's operations and broadcasts to the extent
permitted by law and any action taken by the Licensee or its employees and
agents with respect to the Station, or any failure by Licensee or its employees
and agents to take any action with respect to the Station.

         4.3     Limitation.  Neither Licensee nor Programmer shall be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this section unless such claim for
indemnification is asserted in writing delivered to the other party.

                                     - 8 -



         4.4     Time Brokerage Challenge.  If this Agreement is challenged at
the FCC, whether or not in connection with the Station's license renewal
application, counsel for the Licensee and counsel for the Programmer shall
jointly defend the Agreement and the parties' performance thereunder throughout
all FCC proceedings at the sole expense of the Programmer.  If portions of this
Agreement do not receive the approval of the FCC Staff, then the parties shall
reform the Agreement as necessary to satisfy the FCC Staff's concerns or, at
Programmer's option and expense, seek reversal of the Staff's decision and
approval from the full Commission or a court of law.


SECTION 5.  ACCESS TO PROGRAMMER MATERIALS AND CORRESPONDENCE

         5.1     Confidential Review.  Prior to the commencement of any
programming by Programmer under this Agreement, Programmer shall acquaint the
Licensee with the nature and type of the programming to be provided.  Licensee
shall be entitled to review at its discretion from time to time on a
confidential basis any of Programmer's programming material it may reasonably
request.  Programmer shall promptly provide Licensee with copies of all
correspondence and complaints received from the public (including any telephone
logs of complaints called in), and copies of all program logs and promotional
materials.  However, nothing in this section shall entitle Licensee to review
the internal corporate or financial records of the Programmer.

         5.2     Political Advertising.  Programmer shall cooperate with
Licensee to assist Licensee in complying with all rules of the FCC regarding
political broadcasting.  Licensee shall promptly supply to Programmer, and
Programmer shall promptly supply to Licensee, such information, including all
inquiries concerning the broadcast of political advertising, as may be
necessary to comply with FCC rules and policies, including the lowest unit
rate, equal opportunities, reasonable access, political file and related
requirements of federal law.  Licensee, in consultation with Programmer, shall
develop a statement which discloses its political broadcasting policies to
political candidates, and Programmer shall follow those policies and rates in
the sale of political programming and advertising.  In the event that
Programmer fails to satisfy the political broadcasting requirements under the
Act and the rules and regulations of the FCC and such failure inhibits Licensee
in its compliance with the political broadcasting requirements of the FCC, then
to the extent reasonably necessary to assure such compliance, Programmer shall
either provide rebates to political advertisers or release broadcast time
and/or advertising availabilities to Licensee at no cost to Licensee.

         6.1     Termination.  In addition to other remedies available at law
or equity, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth below by either
Licensee or Programmer by written notice to the other if the party seeking to
terminate is not then in material default or breach hereof, upon the occurrence
of any of the following:

                 (a)      subject to the provisions of Section 7.9, this
Agreement is declared invalid or illegal in whole or substantial part by an
order or decree of an administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction
and such order or decree has become final and no longer subject to further
administrative or judicial review;

                 (b)      the other party is in material breach of its
obligations hereunder and has failed to cure such breach within thirty (30)

                 (c)      the mutual consent of both parties;

                 (d)      there has been a material change in FCC rules,
policies or precedent that would cause this Agreement to be in violation
thereof and such change is in effect and not the subject of an appeal or
further administrative review and this Agreement cannot be reformed, in a
manner acceptable to Programmer and Licensee, to remove and/or eliminate the
violation; or

                 (e)      by either party upon six months written notice to 
the other party.

         6.2     Termination Requirements and Procedures.

                 (c)      During any period prior to the effective date of any
termination of this Agreement, Programmer and Licensee agree to cooperate in
good faith to ensure that Station operations will continue, to the extent

the extent possible, the resulting disruption of the Station's ongoing

facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or
failure at any time to furnish facilities, in whole or in part, for broadcast,
due to Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, material or labor restrictions by any
governmental authority, civil riot, floods and any other cause not reasonably
within the control of Licensee, or for power reductions necessitated for
maintenance of the Station or for maintenance of other stations located on the
tower from which the Station will be broadcasting, shall not constitute a
breach of this Agreement and Licensee will not be liable to Programmer for
reimbursement or reduction of the consideration owed to Licensee.

         6.4     Other Agreements.  During the term of this Agreement or any
renewal hereof, Licensee will not enter into any other agreement with any third
party that would conflict with or result in a material breach of this Agreement

Station before taking any action to change such letters.

                 Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement
<PAGE>   19

                 BROADCAST STATION PROGRAMMING POLICY STATEMENT

         The following sets forth the policies generally applicable to the
presentation of programming and advertising over Television Station WCEE(TV),
Mt. Vernon, Illinois.  All programming and advertising broadcast by the station
must conform to these policies and to the provisions of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended [the "Act"], and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission ["FCC"].

Station Identification

The station must broadcast a station identification announcement once an hour
as close to the hour as feasible in a natural break in the programming.  The
announcement must include (1) the station's call letters (currently, WCEE);
followed immediately by (2) the station's city of license (Mt. Vernon,
Illinois).

Broadcast of Telephone Conversations

Before recording a telephone conversation for broadcast or broadcasting such a
conversation simultaneously with its occurrent, any party to the call must be
informed that the call will be broadcast or will be recorded for later
broadcast, and the party's consent to such broadcast must be obtained. This
requirement does not apply to calls initiated by the other party which are made
in a context in which it is customary for the station to broadcast telephone
calls.

Sponsorship Identification

When money, service, or other valuable consideration is either directly or
indirectly paid or promised as part of an arrangement to transmit any
programming, the station at the time of broadcast shall announce (1) that the
matter is sponsored, either whole or in part; and (2) by whom or on whose
behalf the matter is sponsored.  Products or services furnished to the station
in consideration for an identification of any person, product, service,
trademark or brand name shall be identified in this manner.

In the case of any political or controversial issue broadcast for which any
material or service is furnished as an inducement for its transmission, an
announcement shall be made at the beginning and conclusion of the broadcast
stating (1) the material or service that has been furnished; and (2) the
person(s) or association(s) on whose behalf the programming is transmitted.
However, if the broadcast is 5 minutes duration or less, the required
announcement need only be made either at its beginning or end.

Prior to any sponsored broadcast involving political matters or controversial
issues, the station shall obtain a list of the chief executive officers,
members of the executive committee or board of directors of the sponsoring
organization and shall place this list in the station's public inspection file.
<PAGE>   20

                               
                                     - 2 -




Payola/Plugola

The station, its personnel, or its programmers shall not accept or agree to
accept from any person any money, service, or other valuable consideration for
the broadcast of any matter unless such fact is disclosed to the station so
that all required station identification announcements can be made.  All
persons responsible for station programming must, from time to time, execute
such documents as may be required by station management to confirm their
understanding of and compliance with the FCC's sponsorship identification
requirements.

Rebroadcasts

The station shall not rebroadcast the signal of any other broadcast station
without first obtaining such station's prior written consent to such
rebroadcast.

Fairness

(i) conflict with CNI-13's organizational documents, (ii) result in a
default (or give rise to any right of termination, cancellation or

     6. Representations and Warranties of Paxson.  Paxson represents and
warrants to CNI-13 as follows:
 
        (a) Paxson has full corporate power and authority to execute and
deliver this Option Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby. The execution and delivery of this Option Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby by Paxson have been duly
and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of Paxson.

affecting creditors' rights generally and by judicial discretion in the
enforcement of equitable remedies.
 
        (b) Except for the FCC Consent, there is no requirement applicable to

transactions contemplated hereby shall be consummated.

this Option Agreement and refuses to perform under the provisions of this Option
Agreement, monetary damages alone would not be adequate to compensate Paxson for

remedies that may be available, including money damages, to obtain specific
performance of the terms of this Option Agreement. If any action is brought by 
Paxson to enforce this Option Agreement, CNI-13 shall waive the defense that 
there is an adequate remedy at law.

         WHEREAS, Programmer and Licensee are simultaneously entering into an
Agreement providing for the sale of Licensee's limited partner and an option
for the sale of the Station.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and mutual
promises and covenants contained herein, the parties, intending to be bound
legally agree as follows:

                                   Section 1

                           Lease of Station Air Time

                                     - 3 -

necessary microwave or satellite receive equipment. Subject to Licensee's
reasonable approval, as set forth in this Agreement, Programmer shall provide
programming of its selection complete with commercial matter, news, public
service announcements and other suitable programming to the Licensee up to one
hundred sixty-four (164) hours per week, and an additional two hours per week
of children's programming that complies with the rules and policies of the FCC
and is acceptable to Licensee.

         1.4     Extension of Term. Subject to the termination provisions of
Section 6 hereof, Programmer and Licensee may agree to extend the initial term
of this Agreement for an additional 18 months. Notice of an intent to extend

days prior to expiration of the initial term.  The consideration to be paid
during such extension period shall be as set forth in Attachment I.

         1.5     Consideration. As consideration for the air time made
available hereunder Programmer shall make payments to Licensee as set forth in
Attachment I.

         1.6     Licensee Operation of Station. Licensee will have full
authority, power and control over the operations of the Station during the term

responsible for and pay in a timely manner all construction and operating costs
of the Station, including but not limited to maintenance of the studio and
transmitting facility and costs of electricity except that Programmer shall be
responsible for the costs of its programming as provided in Sections 1.8 and
2.3 hereof. Licensee shall employ at its expense management level employees
consisting of, at a minimum, a General Manager and Chief Engineer, who will
direct the day-to-day operations of the Station, and who will report to and be
accountable to the Licensee. Licensee shall be responsible for the salaries,
taxes, insurance and related costs for all personnel employed by the Station
and shall maintain insurance satisfactory to Programmer covering the Station's
transmission facilities.

         1.7     Licensee Representations and Warranties. Licensee represents
and warrants as follows:

                 (a)      Licensee owns and holds all licenses and other

<PAGE>   6



                                     - 5 -

There is not now pending, or to Licensee's best knowledge, threatened, any
action by the FCC or by any other party to revoke, cancel, suspend, refuse to
renew or modify adversely any of such licenses, permits or authorizations. To
the best of its knowledge, Licensee is not in material violation of any
statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, policy, order or decree of any federal,
state or local entity, court or authority having jurisdiction over it or the
Station, which would have an adverse effect upon the Licensee, its Assets, the
Station or upon Licensee's ability to perform this Agreement. Licensee shall
not take any action or omit to take any action which would have an adverse
impact upon the Licensee, its Assets, the Station or upon Licensee's ability to
perform this Agreement. All reports and applications required to be filed with
the FCC or any other governmental body have been, and during the course of the
term of this Agreement or any extension thereof, will be filed in a timely and
complete manner. The facilities of the Station will be constructed and
maintained in accord with good engineering practice and will comply in all
material respects with the engineering requirements set forth in the FCC
licenses of the Station, including broadcasting a high quality signal to the
Station's service areas as indicated in Attachment II hereto (except at such
time where reduction of power is required for routine or emergency
maintenance). Licensee has, and throughout the term of this Agreement and any
extension thereof, will

<PAGE>   7



                                     - 6 -

maintain good and marketable title to all of the assets and properties used in
the operation of the Station. Licensee shall, during the term of this Agreement
and any extension thereof, not dispose of, transfer, assign or pledge any of
such asserts and properties except with the prior written consent of the
Programmer, if such action would adversely affect Licensee's performance
hereunder or the business and operations of Licensee or the Station permitted
hereby.

                 (b)      Licensee shall pay, in a timely fashion, all of the
expenses incurred in operating the Station including lease payments for a
Bradenton studio facility, utilities, taxes, programming production expenses,
as set forth in Attachment III, shall provide Programmer with a certificate of
such timely payment within thirty (30) days of the end of each month and, for
the duration of this Agreement, shall be reimbursed by Programmer for those
payments listed on Attachment III.

         1.8     Programmer Responsibility. Programmer shall be solely
responsible for any expenses incurred in the origination and/or delivery of
programming from any remote location and for any publicity or promotional
expenses incurred by Programmer, including, without limitation, ASCAP and BMI

Programmer shall be in addition to any other payments to be made by Programmer
under this Agreement or under the Option for General Partnership.

<PAGE>   8



                                     - 7 -

         1.9     Contracts. Programmer will not be required to assume
performance of any of the Licensee's contracts and leases pertaining to the
Station except as indicated on Attachment IV hereof. Programmer will enter into
no third-party contracts, leases or agreements which will bind Licensee in any
way except with Licensee's prior written approval. All third-party advertising
contracts, if any, entered into by Programmer shall be terminable upon not more
than ninety days notice.

         1.10    Pro Rata Credit. Programmer shall receive from Licensee two
times the pro rata credit (up to the amount of the monthly consideration
specified in Section 1.5 herein) for any part of the weekly One Hundred
Sixty-Four (164) hours of programming time that Licensee uses to broadcast its
own programming including periods during which Licensee is unable, for any
reason (except for Programmer's failure to deliver its programming to
Licensee), to broadcast the Programmer's programming.

         1.11    Station Operation.  Licensee shall notify Programmer prior to;
(i) making any changes in management personnel, (ii) entering into any 
contractual obligations, (iii) purchasing equipment, or (iv) making any other 
material changes in the operation of the Station.

studios and broadcast equipment for use

<PAGE>   9



                                     - 8 -

by Programmer, if it so desires, in providing programming for the Station.
Programmer shall be permitted to install and maintain any necessary microwave
or satellite receive equipment for microwave and/or satellite program delivery.
Under the overall supervision of Licensee, Programmer shall and may peacefully
and quietly have the full use of and enjoy the use of the Station's facilities,
studios and equipment free from any hindrance from any person or persons
whomsoever claiming by, through or under Licensee. Programmer shall use the
studios and equipment only for the purpose of producing programming or
receiving satellite programming for the Station.

                                   Section 2

                Station Obligations to Its Community of License

         2.1     Licensee Authority. Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Programmer recognizes that Licensee has certain obligations to
broadcast programming to meet the needs and interests of its community of
license.  The general partner of the Licensee shall produce public affairs
programming for the Station and from time to time the Licensee shall air other
programming on issues of importance to the local community. Nothing in this
Agreement shall abrogate the unrestricted authority of the Licensee to
discharge its obligations to the public and to comply with the law, and rules
and policies of the FCC.

<PAGE>   10



                                     - 9 -

         2.2     Additional Licensee Obligations. Although both parties shall
cooperate in the broadcast of emergency information over the Station, Licensee
shall also retain the right to interrupt Programmer's programming in case of an
emergency or for programming which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of
Licensee, is of overriding public importance. Licensee shall also coordinate
with Programmer the Station's hourly station identification announcements to be
aired in accord with FCC rules. Licensee shall continue to maintain a main
studio, as that term is defined by the FCC, within the Station's principal
community contours, shall maintain its local public inspection file within the
community of license and shall prepare and place in such inspection file or
files its quarterly issues and program lists on a timely basis. Programmer
shall, upon request by Licensee, provide Licensee with information with respect
to certain of Programmer's programs which may assist Licensee in the
preparation of the quarterly issues and programs lists.  Licensee shall also
maintain the station logs, receive and respond to telephone inquiries, control
and oversee any remote control point for the Station.

         2.3     Responsibility for Employees and Expenses. Programmer shall
employ and be solely responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related
costs for all personnel used in the production of its programming (including
salespeople, traffic personnel, board operators and programming staff).

<PAGE>   11



                                     - 10 -

Licensee will provide and be responsible for the Station personnel necessary
for the broadcast transmission of Programmer's programs (including, without
limitation, the Station General Manager and Chief Engineer), and will be
responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related costs for all the
Station personnel used in the broadcast transmission of Programmer's programs.
Whenever on the Station's premises, all personnel shall be subject to the
overall supervision of Licensee's General Manager and/or Chief Engineer,
consistent with Programmer's right to the use of the Station's facilities
pursuant to Section 1.12 hereof.

                                   Section 3

                          Station Programming Policies

         3.1     Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement. Licensee has
adopted and will enforce a Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement (the
"Policy Statement"), a copy of which appears as Attachment V hereto and which
may be amended from time to time by Licensee upon notice to Programmer.
Programmer agrees and covenants to comply in all material respects with the
Policy Statement, to all rules and regulations of the FCC, and to all
reasonable changes subsequently made by Licensee or the FCC. If Licensee
reasonably determines that a program supplied by Programmer does not comply
with the Policy Statement it may, upon written notice to Programmer, suspend or
cancel such program.  Programmer shall furnish or cause to be

<PAGE>   12



                                     - 11 -

furnished the artistic personnel and material for the programs as provided by
this Agreement and all programs shall be in accordance with FCC requirements.
All programs shall be prepared and presented in conformity with the Policy
Statement prescribed in Attachment V hereto. All advertising spots and
promotional material or announcements shall comply with applicable federal,
state and local regulations and policies and shall be produced in accordance
with quality standards established by Programmer.

         3.2     Licensee Control of Programming. Programmer recognizes that
the Licensee has full authority to control the operation of the Station. The
parties agree that Licensee's authority includes but is not limited to the
right to reject or refuse such portions of the Programmer's programming which
Licensee reasonably believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to
the public interest. Programmer shall have the right to change the programming
elements and/or format of the programming supplied to Licensee by giving
Licensee at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of such changes and obtaining
Licensee's reasonable approval of such changes.

         3.3     Programmer Compliance with Copyright Act. Programmer
represents and warrants to Licensee that Programmer has full authority to
broadcast its programming on the Station, and that Programmer shall not
broadcast any material in violation of the Copyright Act. All music supplied by
Programmer shall be: (i) licensed by ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in the public
domain;

<PAGE>   13



                                     - 12 -

or (iii) cleared at the source by Programmer. Licensee will maintain ASCAP, BMI
and SESAC licenses as necessary. The right to use the programming and to
authorize its use in any manner shall be and remain vested in Programmer.

         3.4     Sales. Programmer shall retain all revenues derived from the
programming it provides to the Licensee.  Programmer may sell programming or
advertising on the Station in combination with any other broadcast stations of
its choosing. Programmer shall be responsible for payment of the commissions
due to any national sales representative engaged by it for the purpose of
selling national advertising which is carried during the programming it
provides to Licensee. Licensee shall retain all revenues derived from the
programming provided to the Station during the hours each week in which the
Licensee airs its own programming, with the exception provided for certain
political advertising as set forth in Section 5.2 herein.

         3.5     Payola. Programmer agrees that it will not accept any
consideration, compensation, gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever,
regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to, a commission,
discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively "Consideration"), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or
agreements between Programmer and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is
identified in the program for which Consideration was provided as having paid
for or furnished such

<PAGE>   14



                                     - 13 -

Consideration, in accordance with the Communications Act and FCC requirements.
Programmer agrees to annually, or more frequently at the request of the
Licensee, execute and provide Licensee with a Payola Affidavit, substantially
in the form attached hereto as Attachment VI.

         3.6     Cooperation on Programming. Licensee shall, on a regular
basis, assess the needs of its community and address those needs in connection
with the preparation of its public affairs programming. Licensee shall also
record those needs and place the issues/programs list in the public inspection
file. Further, Licensee shall receive information from Programmer with respect
to such of Programmer's programs which are responsive to public needs and
interests so as to assist Licensee in the preparation of required programming
in the satisfaction of its community service needs. Programmer shall also
provide upon request such other information necessary to enable Licensee to
prepare records and reports required by the Commission or other local, state or
federal government entities.

         3.7     Staffing Requirements. Licensee will be in full compliance
with the main studio staff requirements as specified by the FCC.

                                   Section 4

                                Indemnification

         4.1     Programmer's Indemnification. Programmer shall indemnify and
hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all

<PAGE>   15



                                     - 14 -

claims, losses, costs, liabilities, damages, FCC license revocation or
non-renewal, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal fees and
other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and description,
including but not limited to, slander or defamation or otherwise arising out of
Programmer's broadcasts and sale of advertising time under this Agreement to
the extent permitted by law.

         4.2     Licensee's Indemnification. Licensee shall indemnify and hold
harmless Programmer from and against any and all claims, losses, consents,
liabilities, damages, FCC forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and
description, arising out of Licensee's broadcasts, station construction or
station operation to the extent permitted by law.

         4.3     Limitation. Neither Licensee nor Programmer shall be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this section unless such claim for
indemnification is asserted in writing delivered to the other party.

         4.4     Time Brokerage Challenge. If this Agreement is challenged at
the FCC, whether or not in connection with the Station's license assignment or
license renewal applications, counsel for the Licensee and counsel for the
Programmer shall jointly defend the Agreement and the parties' performance
thereunder throughout all FCC proceedings at the sole expense of the
Programmer. If portions of this Agreement do not receive the

<PAGE>   16



                                     - 15 -

approval of the FCC Staff, then the parties shall reform the Agreement or, at
Programmer's option and expense, seek reversal of the staff decision and
approval from the full Commission on appeal.

                                   Section 5

               Access to Programmer Materials and Correspondence

         5.1     Confidential Review. Prior to the provision of any programming
by Programmer to Licensee under this Agreement, Programmer shall acquaint the
Licensee with the nature and type of the programming to be provided. Licensee,
solely for the purpose of ensuring Programmer's compliance with the law, FCC
rules and Station policies, shall be entitled to review at its discretion from
time to time on a confidential basis any programming material it may reasonably
request. Programmer shall promptly provide Licensee with copies of all
correspondence and complaints received from the public (including any telephone
logs of complaints called in), copies of all program logs and promotional
materials. However, nothing in this section shall entitle Licensee to review
the internal corporate or financial records of the Programmer.

         5.2     Political Advertising. Programmer shall cooperate with
Licensee to assist Licensee in complying with all rules of the FCC regarding
political advertising. Programmer shall supply such information promptly to
Licensee as may be necessary to comply with the lowest unit rate, equal
opportunities and

<PAGE>   17



                                     - 16 -

reasonable access requirements of federal law. In the event that Programmer
fails to meet its political time obligations under the Communications Act of
1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the FCC and such failure
inhibits Licensee in the performance of its political time obligations, then to
the extent reasonably necessary to assure the Licensee's performance,
Programmer shall release advertising availabilities to Licensee; provided,
however, that all revenues realized by Licensee as a result of such a release
of advertising time shall be immediately paid to Programmer.

                                   Section 6

                     Termination and Remedies Upon Default

         6.1     Termination. In addition to other remedies available at law or
equity, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth below by either Licensee

the following:

                 (a)      by either party upon six months written notice to the
other party;

                 (b)      this Agreement is declared invalid or illegal in
whole or substantial part by an order or decree of an administrative agency or
court of competent jurisdiction and such order or decree has become final and
no longer subject to further administrative or judicial review;

<PAGE>   18



                                     - 17 -

                 (c)      the other party is in material breach of its
obligations hereunder and has failed to cure such breach within thirty (30)
days of notice from the non-breaching party;

                 (d)      the mutual consent of both parties;

                 (e)      there has been a material change in FCC rules,
policies or precedent that would cause this Agreement to be in violation
thereof and such change is in effect and not the subject of an appeal or
further administrative review.

                 (f)      if Programmer terminates this Agreement pursuant to
subsection (a) it shall be liable to Licensee for payment of six months
compensation pursuant to Attachment I following termination. If Licensee
terminates this Agreement pursuant to subsection (a), in addition to its
obligations under the Loan and Option Agreement, it shall be liable to
Programmer for payment of six months compensation pursuant to Attachment I
following termination except that if Licensee terminates within the first
twelve (12) months of this Agreement it shall be liable to Programmer for
payment of the first years compensation less the number of months this
Agreement has been in effect.

         6.2     Programmer's Remedies for Operational Deficiencies. Programmer
shall have the following remedies for deficiencies in or events related to
Licensee's transmitting facility:

                 (a)      If Programmer receives at any time during the term
hereof an unsatisfactory report of a consulting engineer,

<PAGE>   19



                                     - 18 -

mutually acceptable to and chosen by Licensee and Programmer, which concludes
that the Station's actual coverage of the market has been materially reduced,
Licensee shall be obligated to take such steps as are reasonably necessary to
restore the effective coverage of the Station or demonstrate, by the use of the
report of another consulting engineer hired at its expense, that such coverage
deficiency is not material. If the Station's effective coverage is not restored
to the coverage at the time of this Agreement within thirty (30) days of notice
of the coverage deficiencies, then Programmer may withhold payments to Licensee
until such restoration has been completed. Subject to Section 6.2(b) - (d),
upon restoration all withheld payments shall be due and owing.

                 (b)      If for a period of five days or more Licensee reduces
its transmitter output power by fifty percent (50%) or more, Programmer may
elect to reduce the payments otherwise due for such period by a daily
proportional amount equal to one half for so long as such power reduction
continues to occur;

                 (c)      If Licensee should use an auxiliary or alternate
transmitter for a period of five (5) days or more, then Programmer may reduce
the payments otherwise due for such period by a daily proportional amount equal
to twenty-five percent (25%) for so long as such auxiliary or alternate
transmitter site is in use. Should such transmitter site move continue for more
than thirty (30) days, Programmer may reduce the payments otherwise

<PAGE>   20



                                     - 19 -

due for such period by a daily proportional amount equal to fifty percent (50%)
for so long as such alternate transmitter site is in use;

                 (d)      If, due to poor maintenance, damage to or failure of
transmission equipment, the Station is off the air for any consecutive five (5)
day period or a total of one hundred twenty (120) hours during any consecutive
thirty (30) day period, Programmer may terminate this Agreement and all of its
obligations hereunder; provided, however, that in the event Programmer elects
to terminate this agreement, Programmer shall notify Licensee, within thirty
(30) days of the occurrence of the event which triggers this termination right,
of Programmers intent to terminate the Agreement. Programmer shall exercise
such termination right within one hundred and twenty (120) days of the date on
which such notification is given to Licensee.

         6.3     Force Majeure. Any failure or impairment of the Station's
facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or
failure at any time to furnish facilities, in whole or in part, for broadcast,
due to Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, material or labor restrictions by any
governmental authority, civil riot, floods and any other cause not reasonably
within the control of Licensee, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement
and Licensee will not be liable to Programmer, except to the extent of allowing
in each such case an appropriate payment credit for time not provided

<PAGE>   21



                                     - 20 -

based upon a pro rata adjustment to amounts due as specified in Attachment I
calculated upon the length of time during which the failure or impairment
exists or continues.

         6.4     Other Agreements. During the term of this Agreement or any
extension hereof, Licensee will not enter into any other time brokerage,
program provision, local management or similar agreement with any third party.

         7.9     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.

         7.10    Specific Performance. The parties recognize that in the event
Licensee should refuse to perform under the provisions of this Agreement,
monetary damages alone will not be adequate. Programmer shall therefore be
entitled to obtain specific performance of all terms of this Agreement. In the
event of any action to enforce this Agreement, Licensee hereby waives the
defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

         7.11    Arbitration. Any dispute arising out of or related to this

The persons selected as arbitrators need not be professional arbitrators, and
persons such as lawyers, accountants and bankers

shall be duly sworn faithfully and fairly to hear and examine the matters in
controversy and to make a just award according to the best of his or her
understanding. The arbitration hearing shall be conducted in accordance with

written decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on
Licensee and Programmer. The costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding
shall be assessed between Licensee and Programmer in a manner to be decided by
a majority of the arbitrators, and the assessment shall be set forth in the
decision and award of the arbitrators. Judgment on the award, if it is not paid
within thirty days, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the
matter. No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of or
related to this Agreement shall be instituted in any court by Licensee or
Programmer against the other except: (i) an action to compel arbitration
pursuant to this Section, (ii) an action to enforce the award of the
arbitration panel rendered in accordance with this Section; or (iii) a suit for
specific performance pursuant to Section 7.10.

         7.12    Sale. In the event that Licensee and Programmer have entered
into a purchase and sale agreement or an application has been filed with the
FCC seeking approval for the assignment of the Station's license to Programmer,
and such FCC approval

<PAGE>   26



                                     - 25 -

shall not have been approved or the assignment shall not have been consummated
by the termination of this Agreement or any extension thereof, Programmer shall
continue to make all payment contemplated by the Agreement until such approval
and consummation have occurred, or until such application is no longer pending
or the subject of an appeal or petition for reconsideration, whichever last
occurs.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement
the day and year first above written.

                BROADCAST STATION PROGRAMMING POLICY STATEMENT

         The following sets forth the policies generally applicable to the
presentation of programming and advertising over Television Station WTBG-TV,
Bradenton, Florida. All programming and advertising broadcast by the station
must conform to these policies and to the provisions of the Communications Act
of 1934, as amended [the "Act"], and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission ["FCC"].

Station Identification

The station must broadcast a station identification announcement once an hour
as close to the hour as feasible in a natural break in the programming. The
announcement must include (1) the station's call letters (currently WTBG-TV);
followed immediately by (2) the station's city of license (Bradenton, Florida).

Broadcast of Telephone Conversations

Before recording a telephone conversation for broadcast or broadcasting such a
conversation simultaneously with its occurrent, any party to the call must be
informed that the call will be broadcast or will be recorded for later
broadcast, and the party's consent to such broadcast must be obtained. This
requirement does not apply to calls initiated by the other party which are made
in a context in which it is customary for the station to broadcast telephone
calls.

Sponsorship Identification

When money, service, or other valuable consideration is either directly or
indirectly paid or promised as part of an arrangement to transmit any
programming, the station at the time of broadcast shall announce (1) that the
matter is sponsored, either whole or in part; and (2) by whom or on whose
behalf the matter is sponsored. Products or services furnished to the station
in consideration for an identification of any person, product, service,
trademark or brand name shall be identified in this manner.

In the case of any political or controversial issue broadcast for which any
material or service is furnished as an inducement for its transmission, an
announcement shall be made at the beginning and conclusion of the broadcast
stating (1) the material or service that has been furnished; and (2) the
person(s) or association(s) on whose behalf the programming is transmitted.
However, if the broadcast is 5 minutes' duration or less, the required
announcement need only be made either at its beginning or end.

<PAGE>   32



Prior to any sponsored broadcast involving political matters or controversial
issues, the station shall obtain a list of the chief executive officers,
members of the executive committee or board of directors of the sponsoring
organization and shall place this list in the station's public inspection file.

Payola/Plugola

The station shall not accept or agree to accept from any person any money,
service, or other valuable consideration for the broadcast of any matter unless
such fact is disclosed to the station so that all required station
identification announcements can be made. All persons responsible for station
programming must, from time to time, execute such documents as may be required
by station management to confirm their understanding of and compliance with the
FCC's sponsorship identification requirements.

Rebroadcasts

The station shall not rebroadcast the signal of any other broadcast station
without first obtaining such station's prior written consent to such
rebroadcast.

Fairness

Station shall seek to afford coverage to contrasting viewpoints concerning
controversial issues of public importance.

Personal Attacks

like personal qualities of any identified person or group. If such an attack

issue of public importance, those responsible for programming shall submit a
tape or transcript of the broadcast to station management and to the person
attacked within 48 hours, and shall offer the person attacked a reasonable
opportunity to respond.

Unless specifically authorized by station management, the station shall not air
any editorial which either endorses or opposes a legally qualified candidate
for public office.

Political Broadcasting

shall be in accordance with the Act and the FCC's Rules and policies, including
without limitation, equal opportunities requirements, reasonable access
requirements, lowest unit charge requirements and similar rules and
regulations.

prurient interest; depicts or describes in a patently offensive way sexual
conduct specifically defined by applicable state law; and taken as a whole,
lacks serious literary artistic, political or scientific value.

The station shall not broadcast any indecent material. Material is deemed to be
indecent if it includes language or material that, in context, depicts or
describes, in terms patently offensive as measured by contemporary community
standards for the broadcast medium, sexual or excretory activities or organs.

issue any bill, invoice or other document which contains false information
concerning the amount charged or the broadcast of advertising which is the
subject of the bill or invoice. No entity which sells advertising for airing on
the station shall misrepresent the nature of content of aired advertising, nor
the quantity, time of day, or day on which such advertising was broadcast.

Contests

Any contests conducted on the station shall be conducted substantially as
announced or advertised. Advertisements or announcements concerning such
contests shall fully and accurately disclose the contest's material terms. No
contest description shall be false, misleading or deceptive with respect to any
material term.

or catastrophe.

SECTION 2        LOAN.

         2.1     Line of Credit. From time to time prior to the earlier of the
Maturity Date or the Completion Date, BBTC may obtain loans from CNI (the
"Loans"), up to a maximum amount outstanding of Three Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($3,100,000). All Loans shall be evidenced by a single
promissory note of BBTC (such promissory note, as it may be amended, restated,
or extended from time to time is called the "Line of Credit Note") in the





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   6

form of Exhibit C hereto. The Line of Credit Note shall be executed by BBTC and
delivered to CNI prior to the initial Loan under this Agreement. CNI may, and
is hereby authorized by BBTC to, set forth on the grid attached to the Line of
Credit Note, or in other comparable records maintained by CNI, the amount of
each Loan, the current outstanding principal balance, and other appropriate
information. The aggregate unpaid amount of any Loan set forth in any records
maintained by CNI with respect to the Line of Credit Note shall be presumptive
evidence of the principal amount owing and unpaid on the Line of Credit Note
absent manifest error. Failure of CNI to record the principal amount of any
Loan on the grid attached to the Line of Credit Note shall not limit or
otherwise affect the obligation of BBTC under this Agreement or under the Line
of Credit Note to repay the principal amount of such Loan and all interest
accruing thereon.


         2.2     Interest.

                 (a)      The Loans shall bear interest at the rate of nine
percent per annum, except that any amount of principal or, to the extent
permitted by law, interest outstanding under the Line of Credit Note which is
not paid when due, whether at maturity, upon acceleration, or otherwise, shall
bear interest until paid in full at the rate of fifteen percent per annum. The
provisions of this paragraph specifying the rate of interest for periods after
the Maturity Date shall not be construed to postpone the Maturity Date beyond
the applicable date specified in Section 2.5. Subject to Section 3.4(b)(1)(A),
interest shall be payable on the Maturity Date and, prior to the Maturity Date,
shall accrue and, to the extent permitted by law, compound monthly.

                 (b)      All interest payable on the Line of Credit Note shall
be computed for the actual number of days elapsed using a daily rate determined
by dividing the annual rate by 365. Any interest that is not paid when due
shall, to the extent permitted by law, compound monthly. Whenever any payment
to be made under this Agreement or under the Line of Credit Note shall be
stated to be due on a Saturday, Sunday, or a public holiday under the laws of
the State of Florida, such payment may be made on the next succeeding business
day, and such extension of time shall be included in the computation of
interest under the Line of Credit Note.

                 (c)      The rate of interest payable on the Line of Credit
Note from time to time shall in no event exceed the maximum rate, if any,
permissible under applicable law. If the rate of interest payable on the Line
of Credit Note is ever reduced as a result of the preceding sentence and any
time thereafter the maximum rate permitted by applicable law shall exceed the
rate of interest provided for in this Agreement and the Line





                                     - 4 -
<PAGE>   7

of Credit Note, then the rate provided for in this Agreement and the Line of
Credit Note shall be increased to the maximum rate permitted by applicable law
for such period as is required so that the total amount of interest received by
CNI is that which would have been received by CNI but for the operation of the
preceding sentence.

         2.3     Use of Proceeds. BBTC agrees that:

                 (a)      The proceeds of the Loans made under this Agreement
will be used solely:

                          (1)      to redeem in full, but not in part, the
partnership interest of MFR, Inc. in BBTC, and to reimburse the general partner
of BBTC for certain expenses incurred in constructing the Station; provided that
the maximum amount of the proceeds of the Loans that may be used for the purpose
described in this Section 2.3(a)(1) shall not exceed One Million One Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000).

                          (2)      to purchase and install equipment and related
tangible personal property required to construct the Station in accordance with
the construction plans previously furnished by BBTC to CNI and approved by CNI,
and

                          (3)      to pay any other expenses authorized by and
agreed to by CNI in writing.

                 (b)      Without limiting any of the other terms of this
Agreement, no part of the proceeds of any Loan made under this Agreement will
be used to "purchase" or "carry" any "margin stock" or to extend credit to
others for the purpose of "purchasing" or "carrying" any "margin stock" (as
such terms are defined in the Regulation U of the Board of Governors of the
Federal Reserve System), and the assets of BBTC do not include, and BBTC has no
present intention of acquiring, any such security.

         2.4     Prepayments. BBTC shall have the right at any time and from
time to time, upon five business days prior written notice to CNI, to prepay
all or any part of the Line of Credit Note, plus interest accrued on the amount
prepaid, without premium or penalty. Such notice shall state the date and
amount of the proposed prepayment and shall be irrevocable. All prepayments on
the Line of Credit Note shall be accompanied by interest accrued pursuant to
Section 2.2(a) on the amount prepaid through the date of prepayment.

         2.5     Maturity. Subject to Section 3.4(b)(1)(A), the entire
principal balance of the Loans, together with accrued interest, shall be paid
in full on the Maturity Date, which shall be the earliest of:

                 (a)      the Closing Date; or

                 (b)      the date on which the Time Brokerage Agreement
expires or is terminated in accordance with its terms; or

                 (c)      the date on which the Option is terminated pursuant
to Section 10; or

                 (d)      the date on which the Option expires pursuant to
Section 3.3.

         2.6     Security Agreement. BBTC shall execute and deliver to CNI a
Security Agreement granting a first priority security interest to CNI in all of
BBTC's personal property, whether tangible or intangible, whether now owned or
hereafter acquired, in the form of Exhibit D hereto (the "Security Agreement").
The Security Agreement shall be accompanied by appropriate financing statements
to be filed in all appropriate jurisdictions. Prior to acquiring any interest
in Real Property, BBTC shall execute and deliver to CNI a mortgage, deed of
trust, collateral assignment, or other appropriate agreement (each, a
"Mortgage"), in form and substance satisfactory to CNI, granting a first
priority security interest to CNI in all of BBTC's interest in such Real
Property.

         2.7     Conditions of Borrowing. Without limiting any of the other
terms of this Agreement, CNI shall not be required to make any Loan to BBTC
unless:.

                 (a)      the representations and warranties contained in this
Agreement continue to be true and complete on the date of such Loan;

                 (b)      no Event of Default under this Agreement shall have
occurred and be continuing, and no condition or event shall exist or have
occurred that with the passage of time, or the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute an Event of Default under this Agreement;

as of the date of such Loan and signed by its general partner, certifying that

were true and complete when made and are true and complete as of the date of
such Loan; (ii) no Event of Default exists under this Agreement and no
condition or event exists or has occurred that with the passage of time, or the

<PAGE>   8

                                     - 7 -

Licensee shall air specific programming on issues of importance to the local

the Act and the rules and policies of the FCC.

         2.2     Additional Licensee Obligations.  Although both parties shall
cooperate in the broadcast of emergency information over the Station, Licensee
shall also retain the right to interrupt Programmer's programming in case of an
emergency or for programming which, in the reasonable good faith judgment of
Licensee, is of greater local or national public importance.  Licensee shall

         3.1     Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement.  Licensee has
adopted and will enforce a Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement (the

regulations and policies of the FCC and with the Policy Statement set forth in
Attachment IV hereto.  All advertising spots and promotional material or
announcements shall comply with applicable federal, state and local regulations
and policies and shall be produced in accordance with quality standards

written notice to Programmer, suspend or cancel such program without liability
under Section 1.10.

         3.2     Licensee Control of Programming.  Programmer recognizes that
the Licensee has full authority to control the operation of the Station.  The
parties agree that Licensee's authority includes but is not limited to the
right to reject or refuse such portions of the Programmer's programming which

the public interest.  Programmer shall have the right to change the programming
supplied to Licensee and shall give Licensee at least twenty-four (24) hours

representative engaged by it for the purpose of selling national advertising
which is carried during the programming it provides to Licensee.

         3.5  Children's Television Advertising.  Programmer agrees that it
will not knowingly broadcast advertising within programs originally designed
for children aged 12 years and under in excess of the amounts permitted under
applicable FCC rules, and will take all steps necessary to pre-screen
children's programming broadcast during the hours it is providing such
programming, to establish that advertising is not being broadcast in excess of
the applicable FCC rules.

         3.6     Payola.  Programmer agrees that it will not accept any
consideration, compensation, gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever,
regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to, a commission,
discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively "Consideration"), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or
agreements between Programmer and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is

for or furnished such Consideration, in accordance with the Act and FCC
requirements.  Programmer agrees to annually, or more frequently at the request
of the Licensee, execute and provide Licensee with a
<PAGE>   12

basis, assess the issues of concern to its community and address those issues
in its public service programming.  Programmer, in cooperation with Licensee,
will endeavor to ensure that programming responsive to the needs and interests
of the community of license and surrounding area is broadcast, in compliance
with applicable FCC requirements.  Licensee will describe those issues and the
programming that is broadcast in response to those issues and place
issues/programs lists in the Station's public inspection file as required by
FCC rules.  Further, Licensee may request, and Programmer shall provide,
information concerning such of Programmer's programs as are responsive to
community issues so as to assist Licensee in the satisfaction of its public
service programming obligations.  Licensee shall also evaluate the local need
for children's educational and informational programming and shall inform
Programmer of its conclusions in that regard.  Licensee, in cooperation with
Programmer, will ensure that educational and informational programming for
children is broadcast over Station in compliance with applicable FCC
requirements.  Programmer shall also provide Licensee upon request such other
information necessary to enable Licensee to prepare records and reports
required by the Commission or other local, state or federal government
entities.

with the main studio staff requirements as specified by the FCC.

hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all claims, losses, costs,
liabilities, damages, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal fees
and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and description,
including but not limited to, slander or defamation or otherwise arising out of
Programmer's broadcasts and sale of advertising time under this Agreement to
the extent permitted by law.

         4.2     Licensee's Indemnification.  Licensee shall indemnify and hold
harmless Programmer from and against any and all claims, losses, consents,
liabilities, damages, FCC forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and
description, arising out of Licensee's broadcasts to the extent permitted by
law.

         4.3     Limitation.  Neither Licensee nor Programmer shall be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this section unless such claim for
indemnification is asserted in writing delivered to the other party.

         4.4     Time Brokerage Challenge.  If this Agreement is challenged at
the FCC, whether or not in connection with the Station's license renewal
application, counsel for the Licensee and counsel for the Programmer shall
jointly defend the Agreement and the parties' performance thereunder throughout
all FCC proceedings at the sole expense of the Programmer.  If portions of this
Agreement do not receive the approval of the FCC Staff, then the parties shall
<PAGE>   14

                                     - 13 -

reform the Agreement as necessary to satisfy the FCC Staff's concerns or, at
Programmer's option and expense, seek reversal of the Staff's decision and
approval from the full Commission on appeal.

SECTION 5        ACCESS TO PROGRAMMER MATERIALS AND CORRESPONDENCE

         5.1     Confidential Review.  Prior to the provision of any
programming by Programmer to Licensee under this Agreement, Programmer shall
acquaint the Licensee with the nature and type of the programming to be
provided.  Licensee, solely for the purpose of ensuring Programmer's compliance
with the law, FCC rules and Station policies, shall be entitled to review at
its discretion from time to time on a confidential basis any programming
material it may reasonably request.  Programmer shall promptly provide Licensee
with copies of all correspondence and complaints received from the public
(including any telephone logs of complaints called in), and copies of all
program logs and promotional materials.  However, nothing in this section shall
entitle Licensee to review the internal corporate or financial records of the
Programmer.

         5.2     Political Advertising.  Programmer shall cooperate with
Licensee to assist Licensee in complying with all rules of the FCC regarding
political broadcasting.  Licensee shall promptly supply to Programmer, and
Programmer shall promptly supply to Licensee, such information, including all
inquiries concerning the broadcast of political advertising, as may be
necessary to comply with FCC rules and policies, including the lowest unit
rate, equal opportunities, reasonable access, political file and related
requirements of federal law.  Licensee,
<PAGE>   15

                                     - 14 -

in consultation with Programmer, shall develop a statement which discloses its
political broadcasting policies to political candidates, and Programmer shall
follow those policies and rates in the sale of political programming and
advertising.  In the event that Programmer fails to satisfy the political
broadcasting requirements under the Act and the rules and regulations of the
FCC and such failure inhibits Licensee in its compliance with the political
broadcasting requirements of the FCC, then to the extent reasonably necessary
to assure such compliance, Programmer shall release broadcast time and/or
advertising availabilities to Licensee at no cost to Licensee or with no
responsibility to provide pro rata credit under Section 1.10; provided,
however, that all revenues realized by Licensee as a result of such a release
of advertising time shall be immediately paid to Programmer.

                 (d)      there has been a material change in FCC rules,
policies or precedent that would cause this Agreement to be in violation
thereof and such change is in effect and not the subject of an appeal or
further administrative review; or

                 (e)  upon sale of the Station.

         6.2     Force Majeure.  Any failure or impairment of the Station's
facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or

         7.9     Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
In the event that the FCC alters or modifies its rules or policies in a fashion
which would raise substantial and material question as to the validity of any
provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith
to revise any such provision of this Agreement with a view toward assuring
compliance with all then existing FCC rules and policies which may be
applicable, while attempting to preserve, as closely as possible, the intent of
the parties as embodied in the provision of this Agreement which is to be so
modified.

         7.10     Specific Performance.  The parties recognize that in the
event Licensee should refuse to perform under the provisions of this Agreement,
monetary damages alone will not be adequate.  In the event that Programmer is
not itself in breach of this Agreement, Programmer shall therefore be entitled
to obtain specific performance of all terms of this
<PAGE>   20

                                     - 19 -

Agreement.  In the event of any action to enforce this Agreement, Licensee
hereby waives the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

         7.11    Arbitration.  Any dispute arising out of or related to this
Agreement that Licensee and Programmer are unable to resolve by themselves
shall be settled by arbitration in Miami, Florida by a panel of three
arbitrators.  Licensee and Programmer shall each designate one disinterested
arbitrator and the two arbitrators designed shall select the third arbitrator.
The persons selected as arbitrators need not be professional arbitrators, and
persons such as lawyers, accountants and bankers shall be acceptable.  Before
undertaking to resolve a dispute, each arbitrator shall be duly sworn
faithfully and fairly to hear and examine the matters in controversy and to
make a just award according to the best of his or her understanding.  The
arbitration hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The written
decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on
Licensee and Programmer.  The costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding
shall be assessed between Licensee and Programmer in a manner to be decided by
a majority of the arbitrators, and the assessment shall be set forth in the
decision and award of the arbitrators.  Judgment on the award, if it is not
paid within thirty days, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over
the matter.  No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of
or related to this Agreement shall be instituted in any court by Licensee or
Programmer against the other except:  (i) an action to compel arbitration
pursuant to this Section; (ii) an action to enforce the award of the
arbitration panel rendered in accordance with this Section; or (iii) a suit for
specific performance pursuant to Section 7.10.

         7.12     Sale.  In the event that Licensee and Programmer have entered
into a purchase and sale agreement or an application has been filed with the
FCC seeking approval for the assignment of the Station's license to Programmer,
and such FCC approval shall not have been approved or the assignment shall not
have been consummated by the termination of this Agreement or any renewal
thereof, Programmer shall continue to make all payments contemplated by the
Agreement until such approval and consummation have occurred, or until such
application is no longer pending or the subject of an appeal or petition for
reconsideration, whichever last occurs.

         7.13    Mandatory Carriage/Retransmission Consent Election.  Licensee
shall consult with Programmer prior to making any election of mandatory
carriage rights or retransmission consent pursuant to Section 76.64 of the
FCC's Rules and the provisions of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and
Competition Act of 1992.

                 BROADCAST STATION PROGRAMMING POLICY STATEMENT

         The following sets forth the policies generally applicable to the
presentation of programming and advertising over Television Station WCTD(TV),
Miami, Florida.  All programming and advertising broadcast by the station must
conform to these policies and to the provisions of the Communications Act of
1034, as amended [the "Act"], and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission ["FCC"].

Station Identification

The station must broadcast a station identification announcement once an hour
as close to the hour as feasible in a natural break in the programming.  The
announcement must include (1) the station's call letters (currently, WCTD);
followed immediately by (2) the station's city of license (Miami, Florida).

Broadcast of Telephone Conversations

Before recording a telephone conversation for broadcast or broadcasting such a
conversation simultaneously with its occurrent, any party to the call must be
informed that the call will be broadcast or will be recorded for later
broadcast, and the party's consent to such broadcast must be obtained. This
requirement does not apply to calls initiated by the other party which are made
in a context in which it is customary for the station to broadcast telephone
calls.

Sponsorship Identification

When money, service, or other valuable consideration is either directly or
indirectly paid or promised as part of an arrangement to transmit any
programming, the station at the time of broadcast shall announce (1) that the
matter is sponsored, either whole or in part; and (2) by whom or on whose
behalf the matter is sponsored.  Products or services furnished to the station
in consideration for an identification of any person, product, service,
trademark or brand name shall be identified in this manner.

In the case of any political or controversial issue broadcast for which any
material or service is furnished as an inducement for its transmission, an
announcement shall be made at the beginning and conclusion of the broadcast
stating (1) the material or service that has been furnished; and (2) the
person(s) or association(s) on whose behalf the programming is transmitted.
However, if the broadcast is 5 minutes duration or less, the required
announcement need only be made either at its beginning or end.

Prior to any sponsored broadcast involving political matters or controversial
issues, the station shall obtain a list of the chief executive officers,
members of the executive committee or board of directors of the sponsoring
organization and shall place this list in the station's public inspection file.

                                     - 2 -


Payola/Plugola

The station, its personnel, or its programmers shall not accept or agree to
accept from any person any money, service, or other valuable consideration for
the broadcast of any matter unless such fact is disclosed to the station so
that all required station identification announcements can be made.  All
persons responsible for station programming must, from time to time, execute
such documents as may be required by station management to confirm their
understanding of and compliance with the FCC's sponsorship identification
requirements.

Rebroadcasts

The station shall not rebroadcast the signal of any other broadcast station
without first obtaining such station's prior written consent to such
rebroadcast.

Fairness

Station shall seek to afford coverage to contrasting viewpoints concerning
controversial issues of public importance.

Personal Attacks

The station shall not air attacks upon the honesty, character, integrity or
like personal qualities of any identified person or group.  If such an attack
should nonetheless occur during the presentation of views on a controversial
issue of public importance, those responsible for programming shall submit a
tape or transcript of the broadcast to station management and to the person
attacked within 48 hours, and shall offer the person attacked a reasonable
opportunity to respond.

Political Editorials

Unless specifically authorized by station management, the station shall not air
any editorial which either endorses or opposes a legally qualified candidate
for public office.

Political Broadcasting

All "uses" of the station by legally qualified candidates for elective office
shall be in accordance with the Act and the FCC's Rules and policies, including
without limitation, equal opportunities requirements, reasonable access
requirements, lowest unit charge requirements and similar rules and
regulations.

Obscenity and Indecency

The station shall not broadcast any obscene material.  Material is deemed to be
obscene if the average person, applying contemporary community standards in the
local community, would find that the material, taken as a whole, appeals to the
prurient interest; depicts or describes in a
<PAGE>   28

                                     - 3 -

patently offensive way sexual conduct specifically defined by applicable state
law; and taken as a whole, lacks serious literary artistic, political or
scientific value.

The station shall not broadcast any indecent material outside of the periods of
time prescribed by the Commission.  Material is deemed to be indecent if it
includes language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms
patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the
broadcast medium, sexual or excretory activities or organs.

Billing

No entity which sells advertising for airing on the station shall knowingly
issue any bill, invoice or other document which contains false information
concerning the amount charged or the broadcast of advertising which is the
subject of the bill or invoice.   No entity which sells advertising for airing
on the station shall misrepresent the nature or content of aired advertising,
nor the quantity, time of day, or day on which such advertising was broadcast.

Contests

Any contests conducted on the station shall be conducted substantially as
announced or advertised.  Advertisements or announcements concerning such
contests shall fully and accurately disclose the contest's material terms.  No
contest description shall be false, misleading or deceptive with respect to any
material term.

Hoaxes

The station shall not knowingly broadcast false information concerning a crime
or catastrophe.

Children's Programming

The station shall broadcast reasonable amounts of educational and informational
programming designed for children aged 16 years and younger.

Children's Advertising

Programming designed for children aged 12 years and younger shall not include
more than 12 minutes of commercial matter per hour, Monday through Friday, and
shall not include more than 10.5 minutes of commercial matter per hour on
weekend programming.  There shall be no host selling, as that term is defined
by the FCC, in children's programming on the station.

transmitted both aurally and visually or only visually.

The station shall not advertise or broadcast any information concerning any
lottery (except the Indiana State Lottery and any other state lottery).  The
station may advertise and provide information about lotteries conducted by
non-profit groups, governmental entities and in certain situations, by
commercial organizations, if and only if there is no state or local restriction
or ban on such advertising or information and the lottery is legal under state
or local law.  Any and all lottery advertising must first be approved by

advertising, including without limitation, all laws concerning misleading
advertising, and the advertising of alcoholic beverages.

                              OPTION AGREEMENT


     This OPTION AGREEMENT is executed this 1st day of April, 1994, by and
between CHANNEL 35 OF MIAMI, INC., a Florida corporation ["Seller"], and PAXSON
COMMUNICATIONS OF MIAMI-35, INC., a Florida corporation ["Buyer"].

     WHEREAS, Seller is the licensee and operator of Television Station
WCTD(TV), Channel 35, Miami, Florida ["the Station"], pursuant to
authorizations issued by the Federal Communications Commission ["FCC"];

     WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that Seller will sell to Buyer an option
to purchase certain of the assets used and useful in the conduct of the
business and operation of the Station on the terms and conditions set forth
herein and subject to the FCC's rules, regulations and policies.

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above and of the mutual promises
and covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the
parties, intending to be legally bound, agree as follows:


SECTION 1     OPTION TO PURCHASE ASSETS


     1.1   Option Price.  In consideration of $100 and other good and valuable
consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by Seller, the
Seller hereby sells and grants to Buyer an exclusive option [the "Option"] to
purchase the assets, real, personal and mixed, tangible and intangible, owned
and held by Seller, used or useful in the conduct of the business and
operations of the Station, exclusive only of cash on hand [the "Station
Assets"], free

                                     - 2 -



and clear of all material debts, liens, encumbrances or other liabilities,
subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.

        1.2   Buyer may freely assign this Option to any other party, but shall
provide Seller with five (5) days' written notice to Seller.  The rights and
obligations pursuant to this Option Agreement of any assignee following such
assignment shall be the same as the rights and obligations of the Buyer.


        1.3   The Option granted hereunder shall run for five (5) years and may
be renewed by Buyer for an additional term of five years.  Notice of the
renewal of this option must be delivered to Seller no later than ninety (90)
days prior to expiration of the initial term hereof.  Buyer shall provide five
(5) days written notice to Seller of its exercise of the Option.  Buyer in its
sole discretion may exercise this Option at any time during the term of this
Option or during the renewal term. 


        1.4   In the event that the Option is exercised hereunder, the parties
shall, within ten days of Buyer's written notice thereof, execute an Asset
Purchase Agreement [the "Purchase Agreement"] substantially in the form
attached hereto as Exhibit A which shall provide a purchase price as specified
in Exhibit B. The form of Purchase Agreement specified in Exhibit A shall be
modified so that the covenants, representations and warranties contained
therein shall be consistent with the then existing status of the parties, their
properties and their operation; so that all representations and warranties will
be true and correct; and so that there shall exist no impossibility of
performance, either commercially or legally.  Buyer and Seller agree that they
shall be bound by all the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement as
finally executed.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
Buyer may withdraw its notice of exercise of its Option at any time prior to
its execution of the Purchase Agreement without any liability to Seller. 


SECTION 2      SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE 


        The parties agree that the FCC licenses and the broadcast business made
possible thereby are unique assets not readily available on the open market.
For this reason, Seller acknowledges that specific performance is an
appropriate remedy for Buyer in the event this Agreement is breached.  The
parties agree that the rights afforded by the preceding sentence shall be in
addition to any and all rights Buyer may have at law or equity.


SECTION 3      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF SELLER
               
        Seller represents and warrants to Buyer as follows:

        3.1   Seller is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the State of Florida.

        3.2   Seller has and will have upon the exercise of the Option full
corporate power and authority to enter into this Option Agreement and the
Purchase Agreement to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.  This
Agreement constitutes, and any other instruments contemplated hereby when
executed will constitute, the legal, valid and binding obligations of Seller,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except as may be affected by
bankruptcy and insolvency laws and court-applied equitable principles. 


        3.3   The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of
the transactions contemplated hereby, and the compliance with the terms,
conditions and provisions

                                    - 4 -



of this Agreement, with or without the giving of notice or the passage
of time, or both, will not: (i) contravene any provision of Seller's Articles
of Incorporation or By-Laws; (ii) conflict with or result in a breach of or
constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions of any
indenture, mortgage, loan or credit agreement or any other agreement or
instrument to which Seller is a party or by which it or any of the assets of
Seller may be bound or affected, or any decree, judgment or order of any court
or governmental department, commission, board, agency or instrumentality,
domestic or foreign, or any applicable law, ordinance, rule or regulation,
including but not limited to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended ["the
Act"], and the rules and regulations of the FCC promulgated thereunder. 


        3.4   No representations or warranty by Seller in this Agreement
contains or will contain any untrue statement of a material fact, or omits or
will omit to state a material fact necessary to make this statement or facts
contained herein or therein not misleading. 


SECTION 4        COVENANTS OF SELLER


        4.1   Seller will perform all acts necessary to carry out the
transactions contemplated by this Agreement and will not: (i) create, incur,
assume or guarantee any indebtedness, obligations or liability or make any
payments in respect thereto which would interfere with, or prevent, Seller
transferring the Assets to Buyer as provided in Section 1.1 hereof; (ii)
perform or suffer any acts within its control inconsistent with the grant of
the Option to Buyer or the actions contemplated by this Agreement; (iii) or

properties except with the prior written consent of the Programmer, if such
action would materially adversely affect Licensee's performance hereunder or
the business and operations of Licensee or the Stations permitted hereby.

         1.8     Licensee Funding.

                 (a)      Licensee shall pay, in a timely fashion, all of the

its employees, lease payments, utilities, taxes, programming expenses, etc., as
set forth in Schedule 1.8 (except those for which a good faith dispute has been
raised with the vendor or taxing authority the "Operating Expenses" and all
capital improvements identified on Schedule 1.8A (the Capital Expenses")
hereto. To the extent that Licensee's operating cash flow is insufficient to
pay the Stations' Operating Expenses and Capital Expenses each month,

and one-half of the Capital Expenses upon request by Licensee.  Such funds
shall be provided by Programmer as loans to Licensee.  Funds provided as loans
for Capital Expenses shall be evidenced by and payable in accordance with a
Capital Funding Note in the form attached as Schedule 1.8B and funds provided

<PAGE>   8

                                     - 4 -



Programmer pursuant to Section 1.5 hereto or as otherwise permitted under the
Stock Purchase Agreement.

         To the extent that the Station's cash receipts exceed the Stations'
operating expenses (excluding non-cash charges), that amount shall be
distributed, on a quarterly basis, with one-half to HDA and one-half to
Programmer (as a programming service fee); provided, however, that if there are
any outstanding amounts due under the Capital Funding Note or the Revolving
Cash Flow Note, those amounts shall be paid prior to any distribution to HDA or
Programmer.

         1.9     Programmer Responsibility.  Programmer shall be solely
responsible for any expenses incurred in the origination and/or delivery of its
programming and for any publicity or promotional expenses incurred by
Programmer, including, without limitation, ASCAP and BMI music license fees for
all programming provided by Programmer.  Such payments by Programmer shall be
in addition to any other payments to be made by Programmer under this
Agreement.

         1.10    Contracts.  Programmer will enter into no third-party
contracts, leases or agreements which will bind Licensee in any way except with
Licensee's prior written approval.

         1.11    Programming Services.  Subject to the direction and control of
Licensee, Programmer shall perform all marketing, sales, billing, collection,
engineering, and maintenance services requested by Licensee in connection with
Licensee's operation of the Stations.

SECTION 2.  STATIONS OBLIGATIONS TO ITS COMMUNITY OF LICENSE

         2.1     Licensee Authority.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Programmer recognizes that Licensee has certain obligations to
broadcast programming to meet the needs and interests of viewers in the
Stations' service area and the educational and informational needs of children.
From time to time the Licensee shall air specific programming on issues of
importance to the local community and educational and informational programming
for children.  Nothing in this Agreement shall abrogate the unrestricted
authority of the Licensee to discharge its obligations to the public and to
comply with the Act and the rules and policies of the FCC.

         2.2     Additional Licensee Obligations.  Although both parties shall
cooperate in the broadcast of emergency information over the Stations, Licensee
shall also retain the right to interrupt Programmer's programming in case of an
emergency or for programming which, in the good faith judgment of Licensee, is
of greater local or national public importance.  Licensee shall also coordinate
with Programmer the Stations' hourly Stations identification and any other
announcements required to be aired by FCC rules.  Licensee shall continue to
maintain a main studio, as that term is defined by the FCC, shall maintain its
local public inspection file in


<PAGE>   9

                                     - 5 -



accordance with FCC rules, regulations and policies, and shall prepare and
place in such inspection file or files in a timely manner all material required
by Section 73.3526 of the FCC rules, including without limitation the Stations'
quarterly issues and program lists; information concerning the broadcast of
children's educational and informational programming; and documentation of
compliance with commercial limits applicable to certain children's television
programming.  Programmer shall, upon request by Licensee, provide Licensee with
such information concerning Programmer's programs and advertising as is
necessary to assist Licensee in the preparation of such information.  Licensee
shall also maintain the Stations logs, receive and respond to telephone
inquiries, and control and oversee any remote control point which may be
established for the Stations.

         2.3     Responsibility for Employees and Expenses.  Programmer shall
employ and be solely responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related
costs for all personnel used in the production of its programming and
performance of its services hereunder (including, but not limited to,
salespeople, technical staff, traffic personnel, board operators and
programming staff).  Licensee will provide and be responsible for the Stations'
personnel necessary for the broadcast transmission of its own programs
(including, without limitation, the Stations's General Manager and such
operational and other personnel as may be necessary or appropriate), and will
be responsible for the salaries, taxes, benefits, insurance and related costs
for all the Licensee's employees used in the broadcast transmission of its
programs and necessary to other aspects of the Stations operation.  Whenever on
the Stations' premises, all personnel shall be subject to the overall
supervision of Licensee's General Manager.

SECTION 3.  STATIONS PROGRAMMING POLICIES

         3.1     Broadcast Stations Programming Policy Statement.  Licensee has
adopted and will enforce a Broadcast Stations Programming Policy Statement (the
"Policy Statement"), a copy of which appears as Schedule 3.1 hereto and which
may be amended in a reasonable manner from time to time by Licensee upon notice
to Programmer.  Programmer agrees and covenants to comply in all material
respects with the Policy Statement, to all rules and regulations of the FCC,
and to all changes subsequently made by Licensee or the FCC.  Programmer shall
furnish or cause to be furnished the artistic personnel and material for the
programs as provided by this Agreement and all programs shall be prepared and
presented in conformity with the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and
with the Policy Statement set forth in Attachment III hereto.  All advertising
spots and promotional material or announcements shall comply with applicable
federal, state and local regulations and policies and shall be produced in
accordance with quality standards established by Programmer.  If Licensee
determines that a program supplied by Programmer is for any reason, within
Licensee's sole discretion, unsatisfactory or unsuitable or contrary to the
public interest, or does not comply with the Policy Statement it may, upon
prior written notice to Programmer (to the extent time permits such notice),
suspend or cancel such


<PAGE>   10

                                     - 6 -



program without liability to Programmer.  Licensee will use reasonable efforts
to provide such written notice to Programmer prior to the suspension or
cancellation of such program.

         3.2     Licensee Control of Programming.  Programmer recognizes that
the Licensee has full authority to control the operation of the Stations.  The
parties agree that Licensee's authority includes but is not limited to the
right to reject or refuse such portions of the Programmer's programming which
Licensee believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the public
interest.  Programmer shall have the right to change the programming supplied
to Licensee and shall give Licensee at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of
substantial and material changes in such programming.

         3.3     Programmer Compliance with Copyright Act.  Programmer
represents and warrants to Licensee that Programmer has full authority to
broadcast its programming on the Stations, and that Programmer shall not
broadcast any material in violation of the Copyright Act.  All music supplied
by Programmer shall be:  (i) licensed by ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in the
public domain; or (iii) cleared at the source by Programmer.  Licensee will
maintain ASCAP, BMI and SESAC licenses as necessary.  The right to use the
programming and to authorize its use in any manner shall be and remain vested
in Programmer.

         3.4     Sales.  Programmer may sell commercial announcements on the
Stations in combination with other stations owned or programmed by Programmer
and the revenues from programming on the Stations shall be paid to Licensee.
Programmer shall be responsible for payment of the commissions due to any
national sales representative engaged by it for the purpose of selling national
advertising which is carried during the programming it provides to Licensee.

         3.5     Children's Television Advertising.  Programmer agrees that it
will not broadcast advertising within programs originally designed for children
aged 12 years and under in excess of the amounts permitted under applicable FCC
rules, and will take all steps necessary to pre-screen children's programming
broadcast during the hours it is providing such programming, to establish that
advertising is not being broadcast in excess of the applicable FCC rules.

         3.6     Payola.  Programmer agrees that it will not accept any
consideration, compensation, gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever,
regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to, a commission,
discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively "Consideration"), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or
agreements between Programmer and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is
identified in the program for which Consideration was provided as having paid
for or furnished such Consideration, in accordance with the Act and FCC
requirements.  Programmer agrees to annually, or more frequently at the request
of the Licensee, execute and provide Licensee with a

<PAGE>   11

                                     - 7 -



Payola Affidavit from each of its employees involved with the Stations
substantially in the form attached hereto as Schedule 3.6.

         3.7     Cooperation on Programming.  Programmer and Licensee mutually
acknowledge their interest in ensuring that the Stations serve the needs and
interests of the Stations' communities of license and agree to cooperate to
provide such service.  Licensee shall, on a regular basis, assess the issues of
concern to residents of this service area and address those issues in its
public service programming.  Programmer, in cooperation with Licensee, will
endeavor to ensure that programming responsive to the needs and interests of
the community of license and surrounding area is broadcast, in compliance with
applicable FCC requirements.  Licensee will describe those issues and the
programming that is broadcast in response to those issues and place
issues/programs lists in the Stations' public inspection file as required by
FCC rules.  Further, Licensee may request, and Programmer shall provide,
information concerning such of Programmer's programs as are responsive to
community issues so as to assist Licensee in the satisfaction of its public
service programming obligations.  Licensee shall also evaluate the local need
for children's educational and informational programming and shall inform
Programmer of its conclusions in that regard.  Licensee, in cooperation with
Programmer, will ensure that educational and informational programming for
children is broadcast over the Stations in compliance with applicable FCC
requirements.  Programmer shall also provide Licensee upon request such other
information as is necessary to enable Licensee to prepare records and reports
required by the Commission or other local, state or federal government
entities.

         3.8     Staffing Requirements.  Licensee will be in full compliance
with the main studio staff requirements as specified by the FCC.

SECTION 4.  INDEMNIFICATION

         4.1     Programmer's Indemnification.  Programmer shall indemnify and
hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all claims, losses, costs,
liabilities, damages, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal fees
and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and description
(collectively, "Damages") resulting from (i) Programmer's breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or
(ii) any claims relating to programming provided by Programmer and Programmer's
broadcast and sale of advertising time on the Stations.

         4.2     Licensee's Indemnification.  Licensee shall indemnify and hold
harmless Programmer from and against any and all claims, losses, consents,
liabilities, damages, FCC forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and
description, arising out of Licensee's breach of any representation, warranty,
covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement.


<PAGE>   12

                                     - 8 -



         4.3     Limitation.  Neither Licensee nor Programmer shall be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this section unless such claim for
indemnification is asserted in writing delivered to the other party.

         4.4     Time Brokerage Challenge.  If this Agreement is challenged at
the FCC, whether or not in connection with the Stations' license renewal
application, counsel for the Licensee and counsel for the Programmer shall
jointly defend the Agreement and the parties' performance thereunder throughout
all FCC proceedings at the sole expense of the Programmer.  If portions of this
Agreement do not receive the approval of the FCC Staff, then the parties shall
reform the Agreement as necessary to satisfy the FCC Staff's concerns in a
manner that preserves the economic arrangement between the parties or, at
Programmer's option and expense, seek reversal of the Staff's decision and
approval from the full Commission or a court of law.


SECTION 5.  ACCESS TO PROGRAMMER MATERIALS AND CORRESPONDENCE

         5.1     Confidential Review.  Prior to the commencement of any
programming by Programmer under this Agreement, Programmer shall acquaint the
Licensee with the nature and type of the programming to be provided.  Licensee
shall be entitled to review at its discretion from time to time on a
confidential basis any of Programmer's programming material it may reasonably
request.  Programmer shall promptly provide Licensee with copies of all
correspondence and complaints received from the public (including any telephone
logs of complaints called in), and copies of all program logs and promotional
materials.  However, nothing in this section shall entitle Licensee to review
the internal corporate or financial records of the Programmer.

         5.2     Political Advertising.  Programmer shall cooperate with
Licensee to assist Licensee in complying with all rules of the FCC regarding
political broadcasting.  Licensee shall promptly supply to Programmer, and
Programmer shall promptly supply to Licensee, such information, including all
inquiries concerning the broadcast of political advertising, as may be
necessary to comply with FCC rules and policies, including the lowest unit
rate, equal opportunities, reasonable access, political file and related
requirements of federal law.  Licensee, in consultation with Programmer, shall
develop a statement which discloses its political broadcasting policies to
political candidates, and Programmer shall follow those policies and rates in
the sale of political programming and advertising.  In the event that
Programmer, in the reasonable judgment of Licensee, fails to satisfy the
political broadcasting requirements under the Act and the rules and regulations
of the FCC and such failure inhibits Licensee in its compliance with the
political broadcasting requirements of the FCC, then to the extent reasonably
necessary


<PAGE>   13

                                     - 9 -



to assure such compliance, Programmer shall either provide rebates to political
advertisers or release broadcast time and/or advertising availabilities to
Licensee at no cost to Licensee.

SECTION 6.  TERMINATION AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

         6.1     Voluntary Termination.  In addition to other remedies
available at law or equity, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth below
by either Licensee or Programmer by written notice to the other if the party
seeking to terminate is not then in material default or breach hereof, upon the
occurrence of any of the following:

                 (a)      subject to the provisions of Section 7.9, this
Agreement is declared invalid or illegal in whole or substantial part by an
order or decree of an administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction
and such order or decree has become final and is no longer subject to further
administrative or judicial review;

                 (b)      the other party is in material breach of its
obligations hereunder and has failed to cure such breach within thirty (30)
days of notice from the non-breaching party;

                 (c)      the mutual consent of both parties; or

                 (d)      there has been a material change in FCC rules,
policies or precedent that would cause this Agreement to be in violation
thereof and such change is in effect and not the subject of an appeal or
further administrative review and this Agreement cannot be reformed, in a
manner acceptable to Buyer and Seller, to remove and/or eliminate the
violation.

         6.2     Automatic Termination.  This Agreement shall be terminated
automatically without any notice upon the occurrence of any of the following:

                 (a)      the closing of Programmer's purchase of fifty percent
(50%) of the Stock in Licensee pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement; or

                 (b)      the termination of the Stock Purchase Agreement;

         6.3     Force Majeure.  Any failure or impairment of the Stations'
facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or
failure at any time to furnish facilities, in whole or in part, for broadcast,
due to Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, material or labor restrictions by any
governmental authority, civil riot, floods and any other cause not reasonably
within the control of Licensee, or for power reductions necessitated for
maintenance of the Stations or for maintenance of other Stations located on the
towers from which the Stations will


<PAGE>   14

                                     - 10 -



be broadcasting, shall not constitute a breach of this Agreement and Licensee
will not be liable to Programmer for reimbursement or reduction of the
consideration owed to Licensee.

         6.4     Other Agreements.  During the term of this Agreement or any
renewal hereof, neither Licensee nor Programmer will enter into any other
agreement with any other person that would conflict with or result in a
material breach of this Agreement by such party.

SECTION 7.  MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1     Assignment.

                 (a)      Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations of either party hereunder shall be assigned,
encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred without the prior written
consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Programmer shall have the right to collaterally
assign its rights and interests hereunder to its senior lenders.

                 (b)      This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.


         7.2     Call Letters.  Upon request of Programmer, subject to the
consent of the Licensee, Licensee shall apply to the FCC for authority to
change the call letters of the Stations (with the consent of the FCC) to such
call letters that Programmer shall reasonably designate.  Licensee must

or to any such other or additional persons and addresses as the parties may
from time to time designate in a writing delivered in accordance with this
Section 7.8.

         7.9     Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstances shall be invalid or
unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement and the
application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall not be
affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted by law.
In the event that the FCC alters or modifies its rules or policies in a fashion

attempting to preserve, as closely as possible, the intent of the parties as
embodied in the provision of this Agreement which is to be so modified.

         7.10    Arbitration.  Any dispute arising out of or related to this
Agreement that Licensee and Programmer are unable to resolve by themselves
shall be settled by arbitration in Washington, D.C. by a panel of three
arbitrators.  Licensee and Programmer shall each designate one disinterested
arbitrator and the two arbitrators designed shall select the third arbitrator.
The persons selected as arbitrators need not be professional arbitrators, and
persons such as lawyers, accountants and bankers shall be acceptable.  Before
undertaking to resolve a dispute, each arbitrator shall be duly sworn
faithfully and fairly to hear and examine the matters in controversy and to
make a just award according to the best of his or her understanding.  The
arbitration hearing shall be conducted in accordance with the commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.  The written
decision of a majority of the arbitrators shall be final and binding on
Licensee and Programmer.  The costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding
shall be assessed between Licensee and Programmer in a manner to be decided by
a majority of the arbitrators, and the assessment shall be set forth in the
decision and award of the arbitrators.  Judgment on the award, if it is not
paid within thirty days, may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over
the matter.  No action at law or in equity based upon any claim arising out of
or related to this Agreement shall be instituted in any court by Licensee or
Programmer against the other except:  (i) an action to compel arbitration
pursuant to this Section; or (ii) an action to enforce the award of the
arbitration panel rendered in accordance with this Section, or (iii) an action
exclusively seeking a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or
injunction.

         7.11    No Joint Venture.  Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed
to create a joint venture between the Licensee and the Programmer.  The parties
intend that Programmer conduct itself in a manner so as to be an independent
contractor.

                Broadcast Stations Programming Policy Statement














<PAGE>   22

                BROADCAST STATIONS PROGRAMMING POLICY STATEMENT

         The following sets forth the policies generally applicable to the
presentation of programming and advertising over Television Stations WSJN-TV,
San Juan, Puerto Rico, WKPV(TV), Ponce, Puerto Rico and WJWN-TV, San Sebastian,
Puerto Rico.  All programming and advertising broadcast by the Stations must
conform to these policies and to the provisions of the Communications Act of
1934, as amended [the "Act"], and the Rules and Regulations of the Federal
Communications Commission ["FCC"].

Stations Identification

Each Station must broadcast a Station identification announcement once an hour
as close to the hour as feasible in a natural break in the programming.  The
announcement must include (1) the Station's call letters (currently, _____);
followed immediately by (2) the Station's city of license ( __________, Puerto
Rico).

Broadcast of Telephone Conversations

Before recording a telephone conversation for broadcast or broadcasting such a
conversation simultaneously with its occurrence, any party to the call must be
informed that the call will be broadcast or will be recorded for later
broadcast, and the party's consent to such broadcast must be obtained. This
requirement does not apply to calls initiated by the other party which are made
in a context in which it is customary for the Stations to broadcast telephone
calls.

Sponsorship Identification

When money, service, or other valuable consideration is either directly or
indirectly paid or promised as part of an arrangement to transmit any
programming, the Stations at the time of broadcast shall announce (1) that the
matter is sponsored, either whole or in part; and (2) by whom or on whose
behalf the matter is sponsored.  Products or services furnished to the Stations
in consideration for an identification of any person, product, service,
trademark or brand name shall be identified in this manner.

In the case of any political or controversial issue broadcast for which any
material or service is furnished as an inducement for its transmission, an
announcement shall be made at the beginning and conclusion of the broadcast
stating (1) the material or service that has been furnished; and (2) the
person(s) or association(s) on whose behalf the programming is transmitted.
However, if the broadcast is 5 minutes duration or less, the required
announcement need only be made either at its beginning or end.

Prior to any sponsored broadcast involving political matters or controversial
issues, the Stations shall obtain a list of the chief executive officers,
members of the executive committee or board of directors of the sponsoring
organization and shall place this list in the Stations's public inspection
file.

                                     - 2 -



Payola/Plugola

The Stations, its personnel, or its programmers shall not accept or agree to
accept from any person any money, service, or other valuable consideration for
the broadcast of any matter unless such fact is disclosed to the Stations so
that all required Stations identification announcements can be made.  All
persons responsible any Station's programming must, from time to time, execute
such documents as may be required by Station's management to confirm their
understanding of and compliance with the FCC's sponsorship identification
requirements.

Rebroadcasts

The Stations shall not rebroadcast the signal of any other broadcast stations
without first obtaining such station's prior written consent to such
rebroadcast.

Fairness

Stations shall seek to afford coverage to contrasting viewpoints concerning
controversial issues of public importance.

Personal Attacks

The Stations shall not air attacks upon the honesty, character, integrity or
like personal qualities of any identified person or group.  If such an attack
should nonetheless occur during the presentation of views on a controversial
issue of public importance, those responsible for programming shall submit a
tape or transcript of the broadcast to Stations management and to the person
attacked within 48 hours, and shall offer the person attacked a reasonable
opportunity to respond.

Political Editorials

Unless specifically authorized by Stations' management, the Stations shall not
air any editorial which either endorses or opposes a legally qualified
candidate for public office.

Political Broadcasting

All "uses" of the Stations by legally qualified candidates for elective office
shall be in accordance with the Act and the FCC's Rules and policies, including
without limitation, equal opportunities requirements, reasonable access
requirements, lowest unit charge requirements and similar rules and
regulations.

Obscenity and Indecency

The Stations shall not broadcast any obscene material.  Material is deemed to
be obscene if the average person, applying contemporary community standards in
the local community, would find that the material, taken as a whole, appeals to
the prurient interest; depicts or describes in a patently offensive way sexual
conduct specifically defined by applicable state law; and taken as a whole,
lacks serious literary artistic, political or scientific value.

The Stations shall not broadcast any indecent material outside of the periods
of time prescribed by the Commission.  Material is deemed to be indecent if it
includes language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms
patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the
broadcast medium, sexual or excretory activities or organs.

Billing

No entity which sells advertising for airing on the Stations shall knowingly
issue any bill, invoice or other document which contains false information
concerning the amount charged or the broadcast of advertising which is the
subject of the bill or invoice.   No entity which sells advertising for airing
on the Stations shall misrepresent the nature or content of aired advertising,
nor the quantity, time of day, or day on which such advertising was broadcast.

Contests

Any contests conducted on the Stations shall be conducted substantially as
announced or advertised.  Advertisements or announcements concerning such
contests shall fully and accurately disclose the contest's material terms.  No
contest description shall be false, misleading or deceptive with respect to any
material term.

Hoaxes

The Stations shall not knowingly broadcast false information concerning a crime
or catastrophe.

Children's Programming

The Stations shall broadcast reasonable amounts of educational and
informational programming designed for children aged 16 years and younger.

                                     - 4 -



Children's Advertising

Programming designed for children aged 12 years and younger shall not include
more than 12 minutes of commercial matter per hour, Monday through Friday, and
shall not include more than 10.5 minutes of commercial matter per hour on
weekend programming.  There shall be no host selling, as that term is defined
by the FCC, in children's programming on the Stations.

Emergency Information

Any emergency information which is broadcast by the Stations shall be
transmitted both aurally and visually or only visually.

Lottery

The Stations shall not advertise or broadcast any information concerning any
lottery (except the Puerto Rican Lottery).  The Stations may advertise and
provide information about lotteries conducted by non-profit groups,
governmental entities and in certain situations, by commercial organizations,
if and only if there is no state or local restriction or ban on such
advertising or information and the lottery is legal under state or local law.
Any and all lottery advertising must first be approved by Stations management.

Advertising

Stations shall comply with all federal, state and local laws concerning
advertising, including without limitation, all laws concerning misleading
advertising, and the advertising of alcoholic beverages.

Programming Prohibitions.

Knowing broadcast of the following types of programs and announcements is
prohibited:

         False Claims.  False or unwarranted claims for any product or service.

         Unfair Imitation.  Infringements of another advertiser's rights
         through plagiarism or unfair imitation of either program idea or copy,

         competitive goods.

         profane, vulgar, repulsive or offensive, as evaluated by Stations
         management.

SECTION 6..   SPECIAL COVENANTS AND AGREEMENTS.


        7.1    FCC Consent.


              (a)    The sale of the Stock as contemplated by this Agreement is
subject to the prior consent and approval of the FCC.


              (a)    Seller, HDA and Buyer shall prepare and, within five
days after the date hereof, file with the FCC an appropriate application for 
the FCC Consent.  Seller, HDA and Buyer shall thereafter prosecute the 
application for the FCC Consent with all reasonable diligence and otherwise 
use their respective best efforts to obtain a grant of the application
for the FCC Consent as expeditiously as practicable.  Each party agrees to
comply with any condition imposed on it by the FCC Consent, except that no party
shall be required to comply with a condition if (i) the condition was imposed on
it as the result of a circumstance the existence of which does not constitute a
breach by that party of any of its representations, warranties, or covenants 




<PAGE>   21

                                     -20-


hereunder, and (ii) compliance with the condition would have a material 
adverse effect upon it.  Buyer, HDA and Seller, at Buyer's sole cost and 
expense, shall oppose any petitions to deny or other objections filed with
respect to the application for the FCC Consent and any requests for
reconsideration or judicial review of the FCC Consent; provided, however, that
the costs and expenses incurred by Buyer shall be added to the principal of the
Revolving Cash Flow Note of Seller set forth on Schedule 1.8C of the Time
Brokerage Agreement between Seller and Buyer, and provided, further, that if
this Agreement is terminated one-half of such amount shall be added to the
principal, and accrued but unpaid interest thereon shall be deemed to be
repaid.


              (a)    If the Closing shall not have occurred for any reason
within the original effective period of the FCC Consent, and neither party
shall have terminated this Agreement under Section 9, the parties shall jointly
request an extension of the effective period of the FCC Consent.  No extension
of the effective periods of the FCC Consent shall limit the exercise by either
party of its right to terminate the Agreement under Section 9.


        7.1    Risk of Loss.


              (a)    The risk of any loss, damage or impairment, confiscation
or condemnation of any of the Assets from any cause whatsoever shall be borne
by Seller at all times prior to the completion of the Closing.


              (a)    If any damage or destruction of the Assets or any other
event occurs which prevents in any material respect signal transmission by the
Stations in the normal and usual manner and Seller is unable to restore or
replace the Assets so that such conditions are cured and normal and usual
transmission is resumed in all material respects before the Closing Date, the
Closing Date may, at the option of Buyer, be postponed, for a period of up to
ninety (90) calendar days, to permit the repair or replacement of the damage or
loss.


              (a)    In the event of any damage or destruction of the Assets
described above, Buyer may, at its option, proceed to close this Agreement and
complete the restoration and replacement of such damaged Assets after the
Closing Date pursuant to the Management Agreement, and all insurance proceeds
received in connection with such damage or destruction of the Assets shall be
used for such restoration or replacement.


        7.1    Confidentiality.  Except as necessary for the consummation of
the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, including the requirements of
Buyer's lenders, and except as and to the extent required by law, each party
will keep confidential any information obtained from the other party in
connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.  If this
Agreement is terminated, each party will return to the other party all

amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000) (the "Escrow Deposit") in
accordance with an Escrow Agreement among Buyer, Seller, and the Escrow Agent
in the form of Exhibit C.  All funds and documents deposited with or otherwise
held by the Escrow Agent shall be held and disbursed in accordance with the
terms of the Escrow Agreement and the following provisions:

              (a)    At the Closing, Buyer and Seller shall jointly instruct

Seller and HDA shall waive the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law.

in other agreements delivered hereunder, all representations and warranties of
Buyer, Seller and HDA herein and all covenants of Buyer, Seller and HDA herein
with respect to periods prior to Closing shall be deemed continuing
representations, warranties and covenants, and shall survive the Closing for a
period of eighteen (18) months.  Any investigations by or on behalf of any
party hereto shall not constitute a waiver as to enforcement of any
representation, warranty, or covenant contained in this Agreement.  No notice
or information delivered by either party shall affect the other party's right
to rely on any representation, warranty, or covenant made by such party or
relieve such party of any obligations under this Agreement as the result of a
breach of any of its representations and warranties.


       11.1    Indemnification by Seller.  After the Closing but subject to

respect to, and shall reimburse Buyer for:


              (a)    any and all losses, liabilities, or damages resulting from
any untrue representation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of any
covenant by Seller contained herein or in any certificate, document, or
instrument delivered to Buyer hereunder;


              (a)    any and all losses, liabilities or damages resulting from
the operation or ownership of the Stations prior to the date hereof;


              (a)     any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
reasonable legal fees and expenses, incident to any action, suit, proceeding,
claim, demand, assessment, or judgment incident to the foregoing or incurred in
investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition
thereof, or in enforcing this indemnity.


       11.1    Indemnification by Buyer.  Notwithstanding the Closing, Buyer
hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Seller harmless against and with respect
to, and shall reimburse Seller for:


              (a)    any and all losses, liabilities, or damages resulting from
any untrue representation, breach of warranty, or nonfulfillment of any
covenant by Buyer contained herein or in any certificate, document, or
instrument delivered to Seller hereunder; and


              (a)     any and all out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including
reasonable legal fees and expenses, incident to any action, suit, proceeding,
claim, demand, assessment, or judgment incident to the foregoing or incurred in
investigating or attempting to avoid the same or to oppose the imposition
thereof, or in enforcing this indemnity.


       11.1    Procedure for Indemnification.  The procedure for
indemnification shall be as follows:


              (a)    The party claiming indemnification (the "Claimant") shall
promptly give notice to the party from which indemnification is claimed (the
"Indemnifying Party") of any claim, whether between the parties or brought by a
third party, specifying in reasonable detail the factual basis for the claim.
If the claim relates to an action, suit, or proceeding filed by a third party
against Claimant, such notice shall be given by Claimant within five business
days after written notice of such action, suit, or proceeding was given to
Claimant.

              (a)    With respect to claims solely between the parties,
following receipt of notice from the Claimant of a claim, the Indemnifying
Party shall have thirty days to make such investigation of the claim as the
Indemnifying Party deems necessary or desirable.  For the purposes of such
investigation, the Claimant agrees to make available to the Indemnifying Party
and its authorized representatives the information 


<PAGE>   31


                                    -30-


relied upon by the Claimant to substantiate the claim.  If the Claimant and the
Indemnifying Party agree at or prior to the expiration of the thirty-day period
(or any mutually agreed upon extension thereof) to the validity and amount of
such claim, the Indemnifying Party shall immediately pay to the Claimant the
full amount of the claim.  If the Claimant and the Indemnifying Party do not
agree within the thirty-day period (or any mutually agreed upon extension
thereof), the Claimant may seek appropriate remedy at law or equity or under
the arbitration provisions of this Agreement, as applicable.


              (a)    With respect to any claim by a third party as to which the
Claimant is entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, the Indemnifying
Party shall have the right at its own expense, to participate in or assume
control of the defense of such claim, and the Claimant shall cooperate fully
with the Indemnifying Party, subject to reimbursement for actual out-of-pocket
expenses incurred by the Claimant as the result of a request by the
Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume control of the
defense of any third-party claim, the Claimant shall have the right to
participate in the defense of such claim at its own expense.  If the
Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume control or otherwise participate in
the defense of any third-party claim, it shall be bound by the results obtained
in good faith by the Claimant with respect to such claim.


              (a)    If a claim, whether between the parties or by a third
party, requires immediate action, the parties will make every effort to reach a
decision with respect thereto as expeditiously as possible.


              (a)    The indemnifications rights provided in Section 10.2 and
Section 10.3 shall extend to the partners, officers, employees, and
representatives of any Claimant although for the purpose of the procedures set
forth in this Section 10.4, any indemnification claims by such parties shall be
made by and through the Claimant.

       11.1    Certain Limitations.


              (a)    Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the
contrary, neither party shall indemnify or otherwise be liable to the other
party with respect to any claim for any breach of a representation or warranty,
or for the breach of any covenant contained in Section 5 of this Agreement,
unless (i) notice of the claim is given within eighteen months after the
Closing Date, except with respect to Sections 3.11, 3.14 and 3.20, with respect
to which notice of the claim may be given until the expiration of the
applicable statute of limitations, and (ii) except to the extent the losses,

default.

         TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENT, made this 31st day of October, 1995, by and
between Roberts Broadcasting Company of Raleigh-Durham, L.P., a Delaware
limited partnership (the "Licensee") and Paxson Communications of
Raleigh-Durham-47, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Programmer").

         WHEREAS, Licensee is seeking to acquire Television Station WRMY(TV),
Rocky Mount, North Carolina (the "Station") pursuant to authorizations issued
by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC").

         WHEREAS, Programmer is involved in television station programming and
operation.

programming for the Station that is in conformity with Station policies and
procedures, FCC policies for time brokerage arrangements, and the provisions
hereof.

         WHEREAS, Programmer agrees to use the Station to broadcast such
programming of its selection that is in conformity with all rules, regulations
and policies of the FCC, subject to Licensee's full authority to manage and
control the operation of the Station.

         WHEREAS, Programmer and Licensee agree to cooperate to make this Time
Brokerage Agreement work to the benefit of the public and both parties and as
contemplated in this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and mutual
promises and covenants contained herein, the parties, intending to be legally
bound, agree as follows:

SECTION 1.  LEASE OF STATION AIR TIME

         1.1     Representations.  Both Licensee and Programmer represent that
they are legally qualified, empowered and able to enter into this Agreement and
that the execution, delivery, and performance hereof shall not constitute a
breach or violation of any material agreement, contract or other obligation to
which either party is subject or by which it is bound.

         1.2     Effective Date; Term.  The effective date of this Agreement
shall be the date of consummation of Licensee's acquisition of the Station
following FCC approval (the "Closing").  It shall continue in force for an
initial term of seven years from that date unless otherwise extended or

         1.3     Scope.  During the term of this Agreement and any renewal
thereof, Licensee shall make available to Programmer broadcast time upon the
Station as set forth in this





<PAGE>   6

Agreement.  Programmer shall deliver such programming, at its expense, to the
Station's transmitter facilities or other authorized remote control points as
reasonably designated by Licensee.  Subject to Licensee's reasonable approval,
as set forth in this Agreement, Programmer shall provide programming of
Programmer's selection complete with commercial matter, news, public service
announcements and other suitable programming to the Licensee up to one hundred
sixty-two (162) hours per week. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Licensee may
designate such additional time as it may require without any adjustment of the
monthly consideration to be paid to Licensee under Section 1.5 for the
broadcast of programming necessary for the Station to broadcast news, public
affairs, children's, religious and non-entertainment programming as required by
the FCC.  All program time not reserved by or designated for Licensee shall be
available for use by Programmer and no other party.

         1.4     Option to Renew.  Subject to the termination provisions of
Section 6 hereof, this Agreement may be renewed for an additional term as
mutually agreed upon by the Licensee and the Programmer.

         1.5     Consideration.  As consideration for the air time made
available hereunder Programmer shall make payments to Licensee as set forth in
Attachment I.

         1.6     Licensee Operation of Station.  Licensee will have full
authority, power and control over the management and operations of the Station
during the term of this Agreement and during any renewal of such term.
Licensee will bear all responsibility for Station's compliance with all
applicable provisions of the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, (the
"Act") the rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and all other applicable
laws.  Licensee shall be solely responsible for and pay in a timely manner all
operating costs of the Station, including but not limited to maintenance of the
studio and transmitting facility and costs of electricity, except that
Programmer shall be responsible for the costs of its programming as provided in
Sections 1.8 and 2.3 hereof.  Licensee shall employ at its expense management
level and other employees consisting of a General Manager and such operational
and other personnel as outlined in the budget previously provided to
Programmer, who will direct the day-to-day operations of the Station, and who
will report to and be accountable to the Licensee.  Licensee shall be
responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related costs for all
personnel employed by the Station and shall maintain insurance satisfactory to
Programmer covering the Station's transmission facilities.  During the term of
the Agreement and any renewal hereof, Programmer agrees to perform, without
charge, routine monitoring of the Station's transmitter performance and tower
lighting by remote control, if and when requested by Licensee.

         1.7     Licensee Representations and Warranties.  Licensee represents
and warrants as follows:





<PAGE>   7

                                     - 3 -



                 (a)      Licensee owns and holds or will hold all licenses and
other permits and authorizations necessary for the operation of the Station,
and such licenses, permits and authorizations are and will be in full force and
effect throughout the term of this Agreement.  There is not now pending, or to
Licensee's best knowledge, threatened, any action by the FCC or by any other
party to revoke, cancel, suspend, refuse to renew or modify adversely any of
such licenses, permits or authorizations.  Licensee is not in material
violation of any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, policy, order or decree
of any federal, state or local entity, court or authority having jurisdiction
over it or the Station, which would have an adverse effect upon the Licensee,
the Station or upon Licensee's ability to perform this Agreement.  Licensee
shall not take any action or omit to take any action which would have an
adverse impact upon the Licensee, the Station or upon Licensee's ability to
perform this Agreement.  All reports and applications required to be filed with
the FCC or any other governmental body have been, and during the course of the
term of this Agreement or any renewal thereof, will be filed in a timely and
complete manner.  During the term of this Agreement and any renewal thereof,
Licensee shall not dispose of, transfer, assign or pledge any of Licensee's
assets and properties except with the prior written consent of the Programmer,
if such action would adversely affect Licensee's performance hereunder or the
business and operations of Licensee or the Station permitted hereby.

                 (b)      Licensee shall pay, in a timely fashion, all of the
expenses incurred in operating the Station including salaries and benefits of
its employees, lease payments, utilities, taxes, programming expenses, etc.

         1.8     Programmer Responsibility.  Programmer shall be solely
responsible for any expenses incurred in the origination and/or delivery of
programming from any remote location and for any publicity or promotional
expenses incurred by Programmer, including, without limitation, ASCAP and BMI
music license fees for all programming provided by Programmer.  Such payments
by Programmer shall be in addition to any other payments to be made by
Programmer under this Agreement.

         1.9     Contracts.  Programmer will enter into no third-party
contracts, leases or agreements which will bind Licensee in any way except with
Licensee's prior written approval.

SECTION 2.  STATION OBLIGATIONS TO ITS COMMUNITY OF LICENSE

         2.1     Licensee Authority.  Notwithstanding any other provision of
this Agreement, Programmer recognizes that Licensee has certain obligations to
broadcast programming to meet the needs and interests of viewers in Rocky
Mount, North Carolina, the station's service area and the educational and
informational needs of children.  From time to time the Licensee shall air
specific programming on issues of importance to the local community and
educational and informational programming for children.  Nothing in this
Agreement shall





<PAGE>   8

                                     - 4 -



abrogate the unrestricted authority of the Licensee to discharge its
obligations to the public and to comply with the Act and the rules and policies
of the FCC.

         2.2     Additional Licensee Obligations.  Although both parties shall
cooperate in the broadcast of emergency information over the Station, Licensee
shall also retain the right to interrupt Programmer's programming in case of an
emergency or for programming which, in the good faith judgment of Licensee, is
of greater local or national public importance.  Licensee shall also coordinate
with Programmer the Station's hourly station identification and any other
announcements required to be aired by FCC rules.  Licensee shall continue to
maintain a main studio, as that term is defined by the FCC, within the
Station's principal community contour, shall maintain its local public
inspection file in accordance with FCC rules, regulations and policies, and
shall prepare and place in such inspection file or files in a timely manner all
material required by Section 73.3526 of the FCC's Rules, including without
limitation the Station's quarterly issues and program lists; information
concerning the broadcast of children's educational and informational
programming; and documentation of compliance with commercial limits applicable
to certain children's television programming.  Programmer shall, upon request
by Licensee, provide Licensee with such information concerning Programmer's
programs and advertising as is necessary to assist Licensee in the preparation
of such information.  Licensee shall also maintain the station logs, receive
and respond to telephone inquiries, and control and oversee any remote control
point which may be established for the Station.

         2.3     Responsibility for Employees and Expenses.  Programmer shall
employ and be solely responsible for the salaries, taxes, insurance and related
costs for all personnel used in the production of its programming (including,
but not limited to, salespeople, technical staff, traffic personnel, board
operators and programming staff).  Licensee will provide and be responsible for
the Station personnel necessary for the broadcast transmission of its own
programs (including, without limitation, the Station's General Manager and such
operational and other personnel as may be necessary or appropriate), and will
be responsible for the salaries, taxes, benefits, insurance and related costs
for all the Licensee's employees used in the broadcast transmission of its
programs and necessary to other aspects of Station operation.  Whenever on the
Station's premises, all personnel shall be subject to the overall supervision
of Licensee's General Manager.

SECTION 3.  STATION PROGRAMMING POLICIES

         3.1     Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement.  Licensee has
adopted and will enforce a Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement (the
"Policy Statement"), a copy of which appears as Attachment III hereto and which
may be amended in a reasonable manner from time to time by Licensee upon notice
to Programmer.  Programmer agrees and covenants to comply in all material
respects with the Policy Statement, to all rules and regulations





<PAGE>   9

                                     - 5 -



of the FCC, and to all changes subsequently made by Licensee or the FCC.
Programmer shall furnish or cause to be furnished the artistic personnel and
material for the programs as provided by this Agreement and all programs shall
be prepared and presented in conformity with the rules, regulations and
policies of the FCC and with the Policy Statement set forth in Attachment II
hereto.  All advertising spots and promotional material or announcements shall
comply with applicable federal, state and local regulations and policies and
shall be produced in accordance with quality standards established by
Programmer.  If Licensee determines that a program supplied by Programmer is
for any reason, within Licensee's sole discretion, unsatisfactory or unsuitable
or contrary to the public interest, or does not comply with the Policy
Statement it may, upon prior written notice to Programmer (to the extent time
permits such notice), suspend or cancel such program without liability to
Programmer.  Licensee will use reasonable efforts to provide such written
notice to Programmer prior to the suspension or cancellation of such program.

         3.2     Licensee Control of Programming.  Programmer recognizes that
the Licensee has full authority to control the operation of the Station.  The
parties agree that Licensee's authority includes but is not limited to the
right to reject or refuse such portions of the Programmer's programming which
Licensee believes to be unsatisfactory, unsuitable or contrary to the public
interest.  Programmer shall have the right to change the programming supplied
to Licensee and shall give Licensee at least twenty-four (24) hours notice of
substantial and material changes in such programming.

         3.3     Programmer Compliance with Copyright Act.  Programmer
represents and warrants to Licensee that Programmer has full authority to
broadcast its programming on the Station, and that Programmer shall not
broadcast any material in violation of the Copyright Act.  All music supplied
by Programmer shall be:  (i) licensed by ASCAP, SESAC or BMI; (ii) in the
public domain; or (iii) cleared at the source by Programmer.  Licensee will
maintain ASCAP, BMI and SESAC licenses as necessary.  The right to use the
programming and to authorize its use in any manner shall be and remain vested
in Programmer.

         3.4     Sales.  Programmer shall retain all of the Station's network
compensation revenues, any revenues received from any network or program
supplier with respect to affiliation or use of programming by Programmer, any
retransmission consent revenues and all revenues from the sale of advertising
time within the programming it provides to the Licensee.  Programmer shall be
responsible for payment of the commissions due to any national sales
representative engaged by it for the purpose of selling national advertising
which is carried during the programming it provides to Licensee.  Unless
otherwise agreed between the parties, Licensee shall retain all revenues from
the sale of Station's advertising during the hours each week in which the
Licensee airs its own programming pursuant to Section 1.3 hereof.

                                     - 6 -



         3.5     Children's Television Advertising.  Programmer agrees that it
will not broadcast advertising within programs originally designed for children
aged 12 years and under in excess of the amounts permitted under applicable FCC
rules, and will take all steps necessary to pre-screen children's programming
broadcast during the hours it is providing such programming, to establish that
advertising is not being broadcast in excess of the applicable FCC rules.

         3.6     Payola.  Programmer agrees that it will not accept any
consideration, compensation, gift or gratuity of any kind whatsoever,
regardless of its value or form, including, but not limited to, a commission,
discount, bonus, material, supplies or other merchandise, services or labor
(collectively "Consideration"), whether or not pursuant to written contracts or
agreements between Programmer and merchants or advertisers, unless the payer is
identified in the program for which Consideration was provided as having paid
for or furnished such Consideration, in accordance with the Act and FCC
requirements.  Programmer agrees to annually, or more frequently at the request
of the Licensee, execute and provide Licensee with a Payola Affidavit from each
of its employees involved with the Station substantially in the form attached
hereto as Attachment III.

         3.7     Cooperation on Programming.  Programmer and Licensee mutually
acknowledge their interest in ensuring that the Station serves the needs and
interests of viewers in Rocky Mount and the surrounding service area and agree
to cooperate to provide such service.  Licensee shall, on a regular basis,
assess the issues of concern to residents of Rocky Mount and the surrounding
area and address those issues in its public service programming.  Programmer,
in cooperation with Licensee, will endeavor to ensure that programming
responsive to the needs and interests of the community of license and
surrounding area is broadcast, in compliance with applicable FCC requirements.
Licensee will describe those issues and the programming that is broadcast in
response to those issues and place issues/programs lists in the Station's
public inspection file as required by FCC rules.  Further, Licensee may
request, and Programmer shall provide, information concerning such of
Programmer's programs as are responsive to community issues so as to assist
Licensee in the satisfaction of its public service programming obligations.
Licensee shall also evaluate the local need for children's educational and
informational programming and shall inform Programmer of its conclusions in
that regard.  Licensee, in cooperation with Programmer, will ensure that
educational and informational programming for children is broadcast over the
Station in compliance with applicable FCC requirements.  Programmer shall also
provide Licensee upon request such other information necessary to enable
Licensee to prepare records and reports required by the Commission or other
local, state or federal government entities.

         3.8     Staffing Requirements.  Licensee will be in full compliance
with the main studio staff requirements as specified by the FCC.

SECTION 4.  INDEMNIFICATION

         4.1     Programmer's Indemnification.  Programmer shall indemnify and
hold harmless Licensee from and against any and all claims, losses, costs,
liabilities, damages, forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal fees
and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and description
(collectively, "Damages") resulting from (i) Programmer's breach of any
representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, or
(ii) any action taken by Programmer or its employees and agents with respect to
the Station, or any failure by Programmer or its employees and agents to take
any action with respect to the Station, including, without limitation, Damages
relating to violations of the Act or any rule, regulation or policy of the FCC,
slander, defamation or other claims relating to programming provided by
Programmer and Programmer's broadcast and sale of advertising time on the
Station.

         4.2     Licensee's Indemnification.  Licensee shall indemnify and hold
harmless Programmer from and against any and all claims, losses, consents,
liabilities, damages, FCC forfeitures and expenses (including reasonable legal
fees and other expenses incidental thereto) of every kind, nature and
description, arising out of Licensee's operations and broadcasts to the extent
permitted by law and any action taken by the Licensee or its employees and
agents with respect to the Station, or any failure by Licensee or its employees
and agents to take any action with respect to the Station.

         4.3     Limitation.  Neither Licensee nor Programmer shall be entitled
to indemnification pursuant to this section unless such claim for
indemnification is asserted in writing delivered to the other party.

         4.4     Time Brokerage Challenge.  If this Agreement is challenged at
the FCC, whether or not in connection with the Station's license renewal
application, counsel for the Licensee and counsel for the Programmer shall
jointly defend the Agreement and the parties' performance thereunder throughout
all FCC proceedings at the sole expense of the Programmer.  If portions of this
Agreement do not receive the approval of the FCC Staff, then the parties shall
reform the Agreement as necessary to satisfy the FCC Staff's concerns or, at
Programmer's option and expense, seek reversal of the Staff's decision and
approval from the full Commission or a court of law.


SECTION 5.  ACCESS TO PROGRAMMER MATERIALS AND CORRESPONDENCE

         5.1     Confidential Review.  Prior to the commencement of any
programming by Programmer under this Agreement, Programmer shall acquaint the
Licensee with the nature and type of the programming to be provided.  Licensee
shall be entitled to review at its discretion





<PAGE>   12

                                     - 8 -



from time to time on a confidential basis any of Programmer's programming
material it may reasonably request.  Programmer shall promptly provide Licensee
with copies of all correspondence and complaints received from the public
(including any telephone logs of complaints called in), and copies of all
program logs and promotional materials.  However, nothing in this section shall
entitle Licensee to review the internal corporate or financial records of the
Programmer.

         5.2     Political Advertising.  Programmer shall cooperate with
Licensee to assist Licensee in complying with all rules of the FCC regarding
political broadcasting.  Licensee shall promptly supply to Programmer, and
Programmer shall promptly supply to Licensee, such information, including all
inquiries concerning the broadcast of political advertising, as may be
necessary to comply with FCC rules and policies, including the lowest unit
rate, equal opportunities, reasonable access, political file and related
requirements of federal law.  Licensee, in consultation with Programmer, shall
develop a statement which discloses its political broadcasting policies to
political candidates, and Programmer shall follow those policies and rates in
the sale of political programming and advertising.  In the event that
Programmer fails to satisfy the political broadcasting requirements under the
Act and the rules and regulations of the FCC and such failure inhibits Licensee
in its compliance with the political broadcasting requirements of the FCC, then
to the extent reasonably necessary to assure such compliance, Programmer shall
either provide rebates to political advertisers or release broadcast time
and/or advertising availabilities to Licensee at no cost to Licensee.

SECTION 6.  TERMINATION AND REMEDIES UPON DEFAULT

         6.1     Termination.  In addition to other remedies available at law
or equity, this Agreement may be terminated as set forth below by either
Licensee or Programmer by written notice to the other if the party seeking to
terminate is not then in material default or breach hereof, upon the occurrence
of any of the following:

                 (a)      subject to the provisions of Section 7.9, this
Agreement is declared invalid or illegal in whole or substantial part by an
order or decree of an administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction
and such order or decree has become final and no longer subject to further
administrative or judicial review;

                 (b)      the other party is in material breach of its
obligations hereunder and has failed to cure such breach within thirty (30)
days of notice from the non-breaching party;

                 (c)      the mutual consent of both parties; or





<PAGE>   13

                                     - 9 -



                 (d)      there has been a material change in FCC rules,
policies or precedent that would cause this Agreement to be in violation
thereof and such change is in effect and not the subject of an appeal or
further administrative review and this Agreement cannot be reformed, in a
manner acceptable to Licensee and Programmer, to remove and/or eliminate the
violation.

         6.2     Termination Procedures.  During any period prior to the
effective date of any termination of this Agreement, Programmer and Licensee
agree to cooperate in good faith to ensure that Station operations will
continue, to the extent possible, in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement and that the termination of this Agreement is effected in a manner
that will minimize, to the extent possible, the resulting disruption of the
Station's ongoing operations.

         6.3     Force Majeure.  Any failure or impairment of the Station's
facilities or any delay or interruption in the broadcast of programs, or
failure at any time to furnish facilities, in whole or in part, for broadcast,
due to Acts of God, strikes, lockouts, material or labor restrictions by any
governmental authority, civil riot, floods and any other cause not reasonably
within the control of Licensee, or for power reductions necessitated for
maintenance of the Station or for maintenance of other stations located on the
tower from which the Station will be broadcasting, shall not constitute a
breach of this Agreement and Licensee will not be liable to Programmer for
reimbursement or reduction of the consideration owed to Licensee.

         6.4     Other Agreements.  During the term of this Agreement or any
renewal hereof, Licensee will not enter into any other agreement with any third
party that would conflict with or result in a material breach of this Agreement
by Licensee.

SECTION 7.  MISCELLANEOUS

         7.1     Assignment.

                 (a)      Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations of either party hereunder shall be assigned,
encumbered, hypothecated or otherwise transferred without the prior written
consent of the other party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Programmer shall have the right to collaterally
assign its rights and interests hereunder to its senior lenders.

                 (b)      This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted
assigns.

a majority of the arbitrators, and the assessment shall be set forth in the
decision and award of the arbitrators.  Judgment on the award, if it is not

                 Broadcast Station Programming Policy Statement





<PAGE>   20

                 BROADCAST STATION PROGRAMMING POLICY STATEMENT

         The following sets forth the policies generally applicable to the
presentation of programming and advertising over Television Station WRMY(TV),
Rocky Mount, North Carolina.  All programming and advertising broadcast by the
station must conform to these policies and to the provisions of the
Communications Act of 1034, as amended [the "Act"], and the Rules and
Regulations of the Federal Communications Commission ["FCC"].

Station Identification

The station must broadcast a station identification announcement once an hour
as close to the hour as feasible in a natural break in the programming.  The
announcement must include (1) the station's call letters (currently, WRMY);
followed immediately by (2) the station's city of license (Rocky Mount, North
Carolina).

Broadcast of Telephone Conversations

Before recording a telephone conversation for broadcast or broadcasting such a
conversation simultaneously with its occurrence, any party to the call must be
informed that the call will be broadcast or will be recorded for later
broadcast, and the party's consent to such broadcast must be obtained. This
requirement does not apply to calls initiated by the other party which are made
in a context in which it is customary for the station to broadcast telephone
calls.

Sponsorship Identification

When money, service, or other valuable consideration is either directly or
indirectly paid or promised as part of an arrangement to transmit any
programming, the station at the time of broadcast shall announce (1) that the
matter is sponsored, either whole or in part; and (2) by whom or on whose
behalf the matter is sponsored.  Products or services furnished to the station
in consideration for an identification of any person, product, service,
trademark or brand name shall be identified in this manner.

In the case of any political or controversial issue broadcast for which any
material or service is furnished as an inducement for its transmission, an
announcement shall be made at the beginning and conclusion of the broadcast
stating (1) the material or service that has been furnished; and (2) the
person(s) or association(s) on whose behalf the programming is transmitted.
However, if the broadcast is 5 minutes duration or less, the required
announcement need only be made either at its beginning or end.

Prior to any sponsored broadcast involving political matters or controversial
issues, the station shall obtain a list of the chief executive officers,
members of the executive committee or board of directors of the sponsoring
organization and shall place this list in the station's public inspection file.

                                     - 2 -



Payola/Plugola

The station, its personnel, or its programmers shall not accept or agree to
accept from any person any money, service, or other valuable consideration for
the broadcast of any matter unless such fact is disclosed to the station so
that all required station identification announcements can be made.  All
persons responsible for station programming must, from time to time, execute
such documents as may be required by station management to confirm their
understanding of and compliance with the FCC's sponsorship identification
requirements.

Rebroadcasts

The station shall not rebroadcast the signal of any other broadcast station
without first obtaining such station's prior written consent to such
rebroadcast.

Fairness

Station shall seek to afford coverage to contrasting viewpoints concerning
controversial issues of public importance.

Personal Attacks

The station shall not air attacks upon the honesty, character, integrity or
like personal qualities of any identified person or group.  If such an attack
should nonetheless occur during the presentation of views on a controversial
issue of public importance, those responsible for programming shall submit a
tape or transcript of the broadcast to station management and to the person
attacked within 48 hours, and shall offer the person attacked a reasonable
opportunity to respond.

Political Editorials

Unless specifically authorized by station management, the station shall not air
any editorial which either endorses or opposes a legally qualified candidate
for public office.

Political Broadcasting

All "uses" of the station by legally qualified candidates for elective office
shall be in accordance with the Act and the FCC's Rules and policies, including
without limitation, equal opportunities requirements, reasonable access
requirements, lowest unit charge requirements and similar rules and
regulations.

                                     - 3 -



Obscenity and Indecency

The station shall not broadcast any obscene material.  Material is deemed to be
obscene if the average person, applying contemporary community standards in the
local community, would find that the material, taken as a whole, appeals to the
prurient interest; depicts or describes in a patently offensive way sexual
conduct specifically defined by applicable state law; and taken as a whole,
lacks serious literary artistic, political or scientific value.

The station shall not broadcast any indecent material outside of the periods of
time prescribed by the Commission.  Material is deemed to be indecent if it
includes language or material that, in context, depicts or describes, in terms
patently offensive as measured by contemporary community standards for the
broadcast medium, sexual or excretory activities or organs.

Billing

No entity which sells advertising for airing on the station shall knowingly
issue any bill, invoice or other document which contains false information
concerning the amount charged or the broadcast of advertising which is the
subject of the bill or invoice.   No entity which sells advertising for airing
on the station shall misrepresent the nature or content of aired advertising,
nor the quantity, time of day, or day on which such advertising was broadcast.

Contests

Any contests conducted on the station shall be conducted substantially as
announced or advertised.  Advertisements or announcements concerning such
contests shall fully and accurately disclose the contest's material terms.  No
contest description shall be false, misleading or deceptive with respect to any
material term.

Hoaxes

The station shall not knowingly broadcast false information concerning a crime
or catastrophe.

Children's Programming

The station shall broadcast reasonable amounts of educational and informational
programming designed for children aged 16 years and younger.

                                     - 4 -



Children's Advertising

Programming designed for children aged 12 years and younger shall not include
more than 12 minutes of commercial matter per hour, Monday through Friday, and
shall not include more than 10.5 minutes of commercial matter per hour on
weekend programming.  There shall be no host selling, as that term is defined
by the FCC, in children's programming on the station.

Emergency Information

Any emergency information which is broadcast by the station shall be
transmitted both aurally and visually or only visually.

Lottery

The station shall not advertise or broadcast any information concerning any
lottery (except the North Carolina State Lottery and any other state lottery).
The station may advertise and provide information about lotteries conducted by
non-profit groups, governmental entities and in certain situations, by
commercial organizations, if and only if there is no state or local restriction
or ban on such advertising or information and the lottery is legal under state
or local law.  Any and all lottery advertising must first be approved by
station management.

Advertising

Station shall comply with all federal, state and local laws concerning
advertising, including without limitation, all laws concerning misleading
advertising, and the advertising of alcoholic beverages.

Programming Prohibitions.

Knowing broadcast of the following types of programs and announcements is
prohibited:

         False Claims.  False or unwarranted claims for any product or service.

         Unfair Imitation.  Infringements of another advertiser's rights
         through plagiarism or unfair imitation of either program idea or copy,

         competitive goods.

        profane, vulgar, repulsive or offensive, as evaluated by station 
        management.

                                                              EXHIBIT 10.77

                                 LOAN AGREEMENT

                 THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of this 31st day of October,
1995, is by and between PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION, a Delaware
corporation having its principal offices at 601 Clearwater Park Road, West Palm
Beach, Florida 33401, (the "Lender"), and ROBERTS BROADCASTING COMPANY OF
RALEIGH-DURHAM, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership having its principal
offices at 1408 N. Kings Highway, Suite 300, St. Louis, Missouri, 63113 (the
"Borrower");

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

                 WHEREAS, the Borrower is seeking to purchase and modify the
facilities of Television Station WRMY, Rocky Mount, North Carolina (the
"Station"); and

                 WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to borrow funds from the Lender
to purchase and/or construct of the Station; and

                 WHEREAS, an affiliate of the Lender wishes to obtain an option
to acquire a 40% equity interest in Borrower as a limited partner.

                 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and
agreements herein contained, the Lender and the Borrower agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

         Section 1.1      The Loan.  The Lender agrees, upon the terms and 
conditions hereinafter set forth, to make a loan to the Borrower in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed Four Million Dollars ($4,000,000) (the
"Loan").

         Section 1.2      The Promissory Note.  The outstanding principal 
amount of the Loan shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of a 
promissory note, dated of even date herewith, substantially in the form set
forth as Exhibit 1 hereto (the "Note") payable to the order of the Lender and
representing the obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lender the amount of the
Loan, with interest thereon, as prescribed in Section 1.4.  The Lender is
authorized to endorse the date and amount of the Loan and each repayment of
principal and/or interest with respect thereto on the Schedule A annexed to and
constituting a part of the Note, which endorsement shall constitute prima facie
evidence of the information endorsed.

         Section 1.3      Interest.  The loan shall bear interest on the 
unpaid principal amount thereof at the rate per annum at all times equal to
eleven and seven/eighths (11 7/8%).  Interest shall be calculated on the basis
of a year of three hundred sixty (360) days and actual number of days elapsed
during the period for which such interest is payable.  Interest shall begin to
accrue on the outstanding principal amount of the Loan on the date of
commencement of




<PAGE>   3

                                     - 2 -


broadcast operations at the Station by the Borrower pursuant to Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC") authorization and the first payment of
interest to the Lender shall be due sixty (60) days thereafter at which time
all interest accrued shall become due and payable; thereafter, accrued interest
shall be paid monthly, on the same date as the principal payments are due
pursuant to Section 1.4 hereof.  If any installment of principal or interest is
not paid when due, that installment shall bear interest at a rate per annum
equal to the lower of the highest rate permitted by law or eighteen percent
(18%) from the due date thereof until paid in full.

         Section 1.4      Repayment of the Loan.  One Hundred Twenty
(120) days after the commencement of broadcast operations at the Station by the
Borrower pursuant to Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") authorization,
the Borrower shall begin repayment to the lender of the loan in eighty-four
(84) consecutive equal monthly installments of principal and interest.
Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary in the Loan Agreement, Promissory
Note, Security Agreement or Pledge Agreement, if the monthly time brokerage
payments payable to Borrower are not sufficient to allow Borrower to make
timely monthly payments of principal and interest under the Loan Agreement (as
well as pay the operating expenses of WRMY), Lender hereby agrees that (a) the
failure to make such payments (in the absence of any other event or
circumstance that constitutes an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement)
shall not constitute an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement and (b)
Lender shall make an additional payment to Borrower sufficient to allow
Borrower to pay those operating and debt expenses.  Should Lender fail to make
such additional payment, the monthly Lender loan repayment of Borrower shall be
considered paid in full notwithstanding the amount of the shortfall.

         Section 1.5      Use of Proceeds and Advancement of Funds.

                 (a)      The proceeds of the Loans are to be used by Borrower
exclusively for the purpose of purchasing the Station and/or completing
construction of the Station pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or Construction
And Equipment Schedule attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and for working capital and
operating expenses.

                 (b)      The Borrower agrees to furnish to the Lender such
information as the Lender may reasonably request in connection with the loans
including the submission of additional documentation involving invoices and
other requests for payment submitted to the Borrower.

         Section 1.6      Information.  The Borrower agrees to furnish
to the Lender such information as the Lender may reasonably request in
connection with the Loan or the Station.

                                    - 3 -


         Section 1.7      Prepayment.  The Borrower may prepay the Note
in whole at any time, or from time to time in part, with accrued interest to
the date of prepayment on the amount prepaid, without penalty, provided that
each payment, other than for the full amount of the outstanding balance, shall
be in the amount of Twenty Five Thousand Dollars ($25,000.00) or an integral
multiple thereof.  Each prepayment on the Note shall be applied to installments
of principal payable on the Note in the inverse order of maturity.

         Section 1.8      Payment on Non-Business Days.  Whenever any payment 
to be made hereunder or under the Note shall become due on a Saturday,
Sunday or public holiday, such payment may be made on the next succeeding
business day, and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the
computation of interest hereunder and under the Note.

ARTICLE 2. CLOSING

         Section 2.1      Closing Date.  Closing of this transaction shall 
occur on a date set by Lender upon five (5) days written notice to
Borrower, or such other date agreed upon by the parties hereto (the "Closing
Date").

ARTICLE 3. SECURITY

         Section 3.1      Security Interest.  As security for the Loan, the 
Borrower shall execute and deliver to the Lender, on or before the Closing
Date, a security agreement in the form of Exhibit 3 hereto (the "Security
Agreement").

         Section 3.2      Pledge Agreements.  As further security for
the Loan, on or before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the
Lender a pledge agreement in the form of Exhibit 4, duly executed by the
partners of Roberts Broadcasting Company of Raleigh-Durham, Ltd. (the
"Partners"), (the "Pledge Agreement").

         Section 3.3      Leasehold Mortgages.  At such time as the Borrower 
enters into any lease, including any leases for the station's studio
and transmitter sites, it shall execute with respect to such lease a leasehold
mortgage in the form of Exhibit 5 (the "Leasehold Mortgage"), granting the
lender a lien on its leasehold interest under such lease.  If requested by the
Lender, the Borrower shall also deliver to the lender in form and substance
satisfactory to the Lender with respect to any lease to which the Borrower
becomes a party (i) evidence of the filing of a memorandum of lease, (ii) an
executed estoppel certificate, (iii) an executed landlord's consent and waiver
and (iv) an alta mortgagee's policy of title insurance in customary form with

same shall be contested in good faith and by proper


<PAGE>   9

                                    - 8 -


proceedings diligently pursued and as to which adequate reserves have been set

riders or amendments thereto.  The policies of insurance required hereunder
shall name the Lender as an additional loss payee or additional insured, as
applicable, and shall provide that the Lender shall receive at least thirty
(30) days' written notice prior to the cancellation, termination or alteration
of any such policy.

Agreements, the Security Agreement or any other document delivered to the

and expense, agrees to use its best efforts to secure such consent and to
cooperate with the Lender in any action commenced by the Lender to secure such
consent.

                       (i)     any security interest or lien created pursuant 
to this Agreement;

                       (ii)    liens for taxes or assessments either not

payment or permit the collection of interest in excess of the maximum rate
permitted by applicable law ("Maximum Rate"), or obligate Borrower to pay any
taxes, assessments, charges, insurance premiums or other amounts which are held
to constitute interest to the extent that such payments, when added to the
other obligations under the Loan Documents, would be held to constitute
contracting for, or the payment by Borrower of, interest at a rate greater than
the Maximum Rate.  Lender and Borrower further agree that:



<PAGE>   20

                                   - 19 -


                                  (i)              if any excess of interest in
such respect is herein or in any such other instrument provided for, or shall
be adjudicated to be so provided for herein or in any such instrument, the
provisions of this subsection 8.16 shall govern, and neither Borrower nor its
successors or assigns shall be obligated to pay the amount of such interest to
the extent it is in excess of the Maximum Rate;

                                  (ii)             if at any time the amount of
interest under any of the Loan Documents for a calendar year exceeds the
Maximum Rate had the Maximum Rate at all times been in effect, the interest
chargeable under any such Loan Document shall be limited to the amount of
interest that could have been charged if the Maximum Rate had at all times been
in effect, but any subsequent reductions in the interest due shall not reduce
the rate of interest chargeable under any such Loan Document below the Maximum
Rate until the total amount of interest accrued under any such Loan Document
equals the amount of interest that would have accrued if the interest provided
for in any such Loan Document had at all times been in effect and collectible;

                                  (iii)            if the maturity of any Loan
Document is accelerated for any reason, or in the event of any prepayment by
Borrower, or in any other event, earned interest may never include more than
the Maximum Rate, computed from the date of disbursement of the funds evidenced
by such Loan Document until payment, and any interest otherwise payable under
such Loan Document that is in excess of the Maximum Rate shall be canceled
automatically as of such acceleration or such other event and (if theretofore
paid) shall be credited against principal;

                                  (iv)             if it should be held that
any interest payable or chargeable under any Loan Document is in excess of the
Maximum Rate, the interest payable or chargeable under such Loan Document shall
be reduced to the maximum amount permitted by applicable federal or state law,
whichever shall permit the higher lawful interest, as construed by courts
having jurisdiction thereof; and

                                  (v)              the spreading, prorating and
amortizing of interest over the term of the Loan Documents shall be allowed to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

Dear Mr. Yorke:

Paxson Communications Corporation ("Buyer"), or its assign whose performance
will be guaranteed by Paxson, hereby proposes to purchase fifty (50%) per cent
of the common voting stock (the "Buyer's Stock") of ["NEWCO"] and to loan up to
$1.5 Million to Newco provided that Offshore Broadcasting Corporation
("Offshore") will contribute to Newco, in exchange for the remaining 50% of the
common voting stock of Newco, all of the assets, including real property,
accounts receivable, tangible and intangible personal or mixed properties (the
"Assets"), used or useful in the operation of Television Station WOST-TV, Block
Island, R.I. (the "Station") licensed to Offshore, free and clear of all debts,
liens, encumbrances or other liabilities, subject to the following terms and
conditions:

1.   At the closing (the "Closing") to be held on a date set by Buyer within
     ten (10) business days after the consent of the Federal Communications
     Commission ("FCC") to the transfer of the broadcast licenses for the
     Station (and any auxiliary licenses) from Offshore to Newco has become a
     final order no longer subject to judicial or administrative review
     (subject to waiver of such final order requirement in the sole discretion
     of Buyer), Newco will issue 50% of its common voting stock to Buyer  and
     the other 50% to Offshore in accordance with the provisions of a
     definitive Stock Purchase Agreement as described in Paragraph 2 below (the
     "Purchase Agreement").

2.   The Purchase Agreement shall, among other terms customary in transactions
     of this nature, include the following terms:


<PAGE>   3

- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  (a)    The purchase price for the Buyer's Stock shall be ONE MILLION DOLLARS
         ($1,000,000) payable in cash at Closing and Offshore shall contribute 
         the Assets in exchange for its 50% common voting stock interest.

  (b)    The obligations of the parties to consummate the proposed      
         transaction shall be subject to receipt of any required consents or
         authorizations and other conditions usual and customary in
         transactions of this nature; including, but not limited to, all
         governmental permits necessary for the relocation and construction of
         the Station's transmission tower on the mainland at a mutually
         acceptable site utilizing a mutually acceptable design structure.  At
         the Closing, Buyer and Newco shall enter into a Loan Agreement that
         will make available to Newco up to $1.5 million for the limited
         purpose of constructing and operating the Station from the new site. 
         The Loan shall carry an annual interest rate of 11 7/8% and such
         interest shall not accrue until 120 days after the Station commences
         its operations from the new site. Newco shall have the option to
         secure the other sources of debt at more favorable rates if available. 
         Payments of interest only shall be made monthly thereafter for twelve
         (12) months with principal and interest payment to be made for the
         next sixty (60) months.

  (c)    Representations, warranties and covenants shall be set forth
         relating to the Buyer's Stock that are usual and customary in
         transactions of this nature and which shall survive the Closing for
         eighteen (18) months.

  (d)    Buyer or Offshore may terminate the Purchase Agreement
         without penalty or liability (except in the event of a default of a
         party) if for any reason the Closing thereunder has not taken place
         within eighteen (18) months from its execution.

  (e)    Buyer shall not be obligated to consummate the Purchase
         Agreement if there is a material adverse change in the Station's
         tangible properties during the period from the date of the Purchase
         Agreement until Closing.


  (f)    Newco shall pay all federal, state and local sales or transfer taxes 
         arising from the conveyance of the Assets to Newco and the Buyer's 
         Stock to Buyer, as well as expenses associated with the
         development of the antenna site.

  (g)    At the Closing, Buyer and Offshore shall execute a Shareholders 
         Agreement with/regarding to Newco which shall, among other 
         matters, require mutual agreement on all capital and operating
         budgets, salaries and contracts over $500.00.  In addition, all checks
         over $200 will require two (2) signatures, one

         (1) of which shall be a Paxson representative and each party will have
         a right of first refusal to the other's common voting stock.    

3.      Buyer shall deposit with First Union National Bank, the sum
        of FIFTY THOUSAND AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($50,000.00) upon execution of the
        Purchase Agreement, (the "Deposit") pursuant to an Escrow Deposit
        Agreement, among the parties.  In the event that the Buyer wrongfully
        fails to close and Offshore has fully complied with the terms of the
        Purchase Agreement, then only in that event Buyer shall forfeit the
        Deposit to Offshore as liquidated damages and as the exclusive remedy
        of Offshore against Buyer.

4.      The parties shall in good faith endeavor to prepare and negotiate a     
        Purchase Agreement acceptable to each party in its discretion, to be
        executed by Offshore and  Buyer no later than November 30, 1995.  If
        the Purchase Agreement is not executed by November 30, 1995,  then the
        terms of this letter shall expire without any liability to either
        Offshore or Buyer.

5.      Following the execution of the Purchase Agreement and prior to the      
        Closing, Buyer agrees to loan Offshore up to a maximum of Six Thousand
        Dollars ($6,000) per month to cover the operating costs of the Station
        and for no other purpose.  In exchange for these funds, Offshore agrees
        to broadcast some programming on the Station as mutually agreed upon
        with Buyer.

6.      From the date of its execution of this letter until the sooner of
        (i) the execution of a Purchase Agreement or (ii) the termination of
        the obligations of the parties hereunder, Offshore shall not seek,
        transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of, with or without
        consideration, any assets used or useful in or relating to the Station
        other than in the ordinary course of business or any common voting
        stock in Newco.

7.      Buyer shall be afforded, from and after the date hereof,
        reasonable opportunity to inspect the Station and the books and
        records of the Offshore. Until such a time as a Purchase Agreement may
        be executed which shall supersede this letter, this proposal is
        contingent upon and subject to proper confirmation and verification by
        Buyer of the financial and other information made available to Buyer by
        the Offshore, review of further financial or other information relating
        to the purchase of the Assets and operation of the Station as may be
        requested by Buyer, and inspection of the assets and technical
        facilities of the Station, all to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole
        discretion.  Finally, by the date set forth in Paragraph 4 above for
        the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Offshore shall supply to Buyer
        the information called for on Attachment I hereto relating to the
        Station.

8.     Buyer and Offshore each agree that it will use its best efforts to
       keep confidential (except for disclosure requirements of federal or
       state securities laws and securities markets along with such disclosure
       to attorneys, bankers, underwriters investors, etc. as may be
       appropriate in the furtherance of this transaction) all information of a
       confidential nature obtained by it from the other (including the terms
       of this proposal and the identity of Buyer) in connection with the
       transactions contemplated by this letter, and in the event that such
       transactions are not consummated, will return to the other all documents
       and other materials obtained from the other in connection therewith.

9.     Buyer and Offshore shall jointly prepare and determine the timing
       of, any press release, or other announcement to the public or the news
       media relating to the execution of this letter.  No party hereto will
       issue any press release or make any other public announcement relating
       to the transactions contemplated by this letter without the prior
       consent of each other party hereto, except that any party may make any
       disclosure required to be made by it under applicable law (including
       federal or state securities laws and the regulations of securities
       markets) if it determines in good faith that it is appropriate to do so
       and gives prior notice to each other party hereto.

10.    From the proceeds of the sale, Newco shall satisfy its obligations
       for a brokerage commission due and payable to Media Venture Partners.

11.    Offshore agrees that until December 31, 1995, or earlier if the
       parties mutually determine that they are unable to enter into the
       Purchase Agreement, it shall not offer or seek to offer, or entertain or
       discuss any offer, to sell the Station or Buyer's Stock, nor shall
       it permit its owners to offer, to seek to offer, or entertain or 
       discuss any offer to sell, any interest in the Station or Buyer's 
       Stock to third parties.

12.    Except for paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 and Paragraph 11 which
       shall be legally binding in accordance with their respective terms,
       neither this letter nor the acceptance hereof is intended to, and nor
       shall it create a binding legal obligation, and the understanding set
       forth herein is subject to the execution of the Purchase Agreement.

13.    Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this letter to
       another entity, whose performance will be guaranteed by Paxson
       Communications Corporation.  Such affiliated entity shall be the
       signatory to the Purchase Agreement.

14.    This proposal shall expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time on
       November 20, 1995, unless earlier accepted by Offshore.  Acceptance by
       Offshore shall be

                                 LOAN AGREEMENT


         THIS LOAN AGREEMENT, dated as of March 23, 1995, is by and between
PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORP., a Delaware corporation having its principal
offices at 18401 U.S. Highway 19 North, Clearwater, Florida 34624 (the
"Lender"), and COCOLA MEDIA CORPORATION OF FLORIDA, a Delaware corporation
having its principal offices at 706 W. Herndon Avenue, Fresno, California 93650
(the "Borrower").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:

         WHEREAS, WPB Communications, Inc. is a stockholder in Hispanic
Broadcasting, Inc., the permittee of Television Station WHBI-TV, Lake Worth,
Florida (the "Station") and holds an option to purchase control of Hispanic
Broadcasting, Inc.;

         WHEREAS, the Borrower wishes to help WPB Communications, Inc. finance
the construction of the Station and exercise an option Borrower holds to
purchase the Station from WPB Communications, Inc.; and

         WHEREAS, the Borrower desires to borrow funds from the Lender to
finance the purchase and operation of the Station.

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements
herein contained, the Lender and the Borrower agree as follows:

ARTICLE 1. AMOUNT AND TERMS OF THE LOANS

         SECTION 1.01 THE LOAN. The Lender agrees, upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth, to make a loan or loans to the Borrower in an
aggregate principal amount not to exceed at any one time outstanding Seven
Million Dollars ($7,000,000.00) plus such additional amounts that are
reasonably requested by Borrower for the purposes set forth in Section 1.05 and
are approved by Lender in its sole discretion (the "Loan").

         SECTION 1.02 THE PROMISSORY NOTE. The outstanding principal amount of
the Loan shall be evidenced by and subject to the terms of a promissory note,
dated of even date herewith, substantially in the form set forth as Exhibit 1
hereto (the "Note") payable to the order of the Lender and representing the
obligation of the Borrower to pay the Lender the amount of the Loan, with
interest thereon, as prescribed in Section 1.04. The Lender is authorized to
endorse the date and amount of the Loan and each repayment of principal and/or
interest with respect thereto on the Schedule A annexed to and constituting a
part of the Note.

         SECTION 1.03 INTEREST. The Loan shall bear interest on the unpaid
principal amount thereof at a rate per annum at all times equal to one-half
percent (1/2%) above 
<PAGE>   7

the rate charged Lender by its senior lenders as adjusted from time to
time. Interest shall be calculated on the basis of a year of three hundred
sixty (360) days and actual number of days elapsed during the period for which
such interest is payable. Interest shall begin to accrue on the outstanding
principal amount of the Loan on the date of disbursement of all or a portion of
the Final Installment (as defined below) pursuant to Section 1.05(b) (the
"Final Installment Date").  The first payment of interest to the Lender shall
be due Ninety (90) days after the acquisition of the Station by the Borrower
pursuant to Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") authority at which time
all interest accrued from the Final Installment Date shall become due and
payable; thereafter, accrued interest shall be paid monthly, on the same date
as the principal payments are due pursuant to Section 1.04 hereof. If any
installment of principal or interest is not paid when due, that installment
shall bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the lower of the highest rate
permitted by law or eighteen percent (18%) from the due date thereof until paid
in full.

         SECTION 1.04 REPAYMENT OF THE LOAN. In the event that any portion of
the Loan is used by the Borrower to fund an escrow deposit or similar payment
toward the purchase of the Station (the "Deposit"), and such deposit is
returned to the Borrower, the amount of such deposit shall be immediately
repaid to Lender together with all interest earned on such deposit and paid to
the Borrower. One Hundred Twenty (120) days after the acquisition of the
Station by the Borrower pursuant to FCC authority, the Borrower shall begin
repayment to the Lender of the Loan by making consecutive, equal monthly
payments of principal and interest on the basis of an eighty-four (84) month
amortization schedule.

         SECTION 1.05 USE OF PROCEEDS AND ADVANCEMENT OF FUNDS.

                 (a) The proceeds of the Loan are to be used by the Borrower
exclusively for financing the construction and purchase of the Station and for
working capital and operating expenses relating to the Station.

                 (b) The Lender shall loan to the Borrower the funds required
to acquire the Station, less the Deposit (the "Final Installment"), as required
by the terms of the Loan And Option Agreement entered into by Borrower with WPB
Communications, Inc. ("Loan And Option Agreement") as of March 23, 1995.

         SECTION 1.06 INFORMATION. The Borrower agrees to furnish to the Lender
such information as the Lender may reasonably request in connection with the
Loan or the Station.

         SECTION 1.07 PREPAYMENT. The Borrower may prepay the Note in whole at
any time, or from time to time in part, with accrued interest to the date of
prepayment on the amount prepaid, without penalty, provided that each payment,
other than for the full amount of the outstanding balance, shall be in the
amount of Ten Thousand





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   8

Dollars ($10,000.00) or an integral multiple thereof. Each partial prepayment
on the Note shall be applied first to accrued interest and then to the payment
of principal in the inverse order of maturity.

         SECTION 1.08 PAYMENT ON NON-BUSINESS DAYS. Whenever any payment to be
made hereunder or under the Note shall become due on a Saturday, Sunday or
public holiday, such payment may be made on the next succeeding business day,
and such extension of time in such case shall be included in the computation of
interest hereunder and under the Note.

ARTICLE 2. CLOSING

         SECTION 2.01 CLOSING DATE. Closing of this transaction shall occur on
a date agreed upon by the parties hereto (the "Closing Date").

ARTICLE 3. SECURITY

         SECTION 3.01 SECURITY INTEREST. As security for the Loan, the Borrower
shall execute and deliver to the Lender, on or before the Closing Date, a
security agreement in the form of Exhibit 2 hereto (the "Security Agreement").

         SECTION 3.02 PLEDGE AGREEMENT. As further security for the Loan, on or
before the Closing Date, the Borrower shall deliver to the Lender a pledge
agreement in the form of Exhibit 3, duly executed by Gary Cocola (the
"Shareholder"), the sole shareholder of the Borrower (the "Pledge Agreement").

         SECTION 3.03 LEASEHOLD MORTGAGES. At such time as the Borrower enters
into any lease, it shall execute with respect to such lease a leasehold
mortgage in form and substance satisfactory to Lender (the "Leasehold
Mortgage"), granting the Lender a lien on its leasehold interest under such
lease. In particular, and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the
Borrower shall execute a Leasehold Mortgage with respect to each lease, if any,
that it assumes as part of the acquisition of the Station. If requested by the
Lender, the Borrower shall also deliver to the Lender with respect to any lease
to which the Borrower becomes a party (i) evidence of the filing of a
memorandum of lease in form and substance satisfactory to Lender, (ii) an
executed estoppel certificate in form and substance satisfactory to Lender,
(iii) an executed landlord's consent and waiver in form and substance
satisfactory to Lender, and (iv) an ALTA mortgagee's policy of title insurance
in customary form with respect to such lease.

         SECTION 3.04 MORTGAGES. As such time as the Borrower acquires any
parcel of real estate, the Borrower shall execute a first mortgage or deed of
trust in favor of the Lender on such parcel, in form and substance satisfactory
to the Lender. If





                                     - 3 -
<PAGE>   9

requested by the Lender, the Borrower shall also deliver to the Lender an ALTA

parcel.

                                PROMISSORY NOTE


                          FOR VALUE RECEIVED, the undersigned, COCOLA MEDIA
CORPORATION OF FLORIDA, a Delaware corporation with its address at 706 W.
Herndon Avenue, Fresno, California 93650 (the "Maker"), promises to pay to the
order of PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORP., a Delaware corporation with its address
at 18401 U.S. Highway 19 North, Clearwater, Florida 34624 (the "Payee"), or its
designee, in the manner set forth below, the lesser of (i) the principal sum of
Seven Million Dollars ($7,000,000) plus such additional amounts that are
advanced by Payee to Maker pursuant to Section 1.01 of that certain Loan
Agreement dated of even date herewith, by and between the Maker and the Payee
(the "Loan Agreement"), or (ii) the aggregate principal amount outstanding of
the Loan, together with interest thereon as provided herein. All capitalized
terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Loan Agreement.

                 1.       The holder of this Note is authorized to endorse the
date and amount of each Loan disbursement pursuant to Section 1.02 of the Loan
Agreement and each payment of principal and/or interest with respect thereto on
Schedule A annexed hereto and made a part hereof, but the failure of the holder
of this Note to make such endorsement shall not affect the rights of the Payee
or the obligations of the Maker under this Note, the Loan Agreement and any
documents executed in connection therewith or under applicable law.

                 2.       The principal balance of and all interest on the Loan
shall be due and payable as provided in Sections 1.03 and 1.04 of the Loan
Agreement.

                 3.       This Note evidences indebtedness of the Maker to the
Payee arising under the Loan Agreement, to which reference is hereby made for a
statement of the rights of the Payee and the duties and obligations of the
Maker in relation thereto. Neither this reference to the Loan Agreement nor any
provision thereof shall affect or impair the absolute and unconditional
obligation of the Maker to pay the principal of or interest on this Note when
due.

                 4.       In the event any installment of principal or interest
on this Note is not paid when due, whether such installment comes due by
acceleration or otherwise, such installment shall bear interest equal to the
lower of the highest rate permitted by law or 18% per annum from and after the
due date thereof until paid in full.

                 5.       The payment of this Note is secured by a Security
Agreement, Leasehold Mortgages and Pledge Agreement, all as more fully
identified in the Loan Agreement.

                 6.       Payment upon this Note shall be made by check or
checks payable to the
<PAGE>   25

                                      -2-

Payee at 18401 U.S. Highway 19 North, Clearwater, Florida 34624, or such other
place as the Payee or a subsequent holder of this Note shall designate to the
Maker in writing, in lawful money of the United States of America.

                 7.       This Note may be prepaid by the Maker, in whole or in
part in integral multiples of Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000), at any time
without premium or penalty. Each partial prepayment on this Note shall be
applied first to accrued interest then to the payment of principal in the
inverse order of maturity.

                 8.       The Maker hereby waives any defenses based upon, and
specifically assents to, any and all extensions and postponements of the time
of payment and all other indulgences or forbearances which may be granted to
any party liable hereon by the Payee or any subsequent holder of this Note.

                 9.       The Maker hereby waives presentment, demand for
payment, notice of protest, notice of non-payment, protest, and all other
demands and notices in connection with the delivery, acceptance, performance,
default or enforcement of this Note.

                 10.      No delay or omission on the part of the Payee or any
subsequent holder of this Note in exercising any right hereunder shall operate
as a waiver of such right or of any other right of the Payee or such holder,
nor shall any delay, omission or waiver on any one occasion be deemed a bar to
or waiver of the same or any other right on any other occasion.

                 11.      No single or partial exercise by the Payee or any
subsequent holder hereof of any power hereunder shall preclude any other or
future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other power.

                 12.      If any Event of Default shall occur, the Payee shall
be under no further obligation to make any Loan or advances of any Loan under
the Loan Agreement and the Payee may at its option by written notice to the
Maker declare the entire unpaid principal amount of this Note, together with
all unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the Loan Agreement and
every other obligation of the Maker to the Payee, immediately due and payable,
whereupon this Note and all such obligations shall become and be forthwith due
and payable, without presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind,
all of which are, except as expressly provided in the Loan Agreement, hereby
expressly waived by the Maker; provided, however, that in the case of an Event
of Default under Section 7.01(g) of the Loan Agreement, all of the obligations
of the Borrower under the Loan Agreement and this Note shall become immediately
due and payable as of the date of any such Event of Default regardless of the
cause of such Event of Default and without any notice to the Maker required
from the Payee. The Payee shall have, in addition to all other rights and
remedies allowed by law, the rights and remedies of a secured party under the

                                   EXHIBIT 2

                               SECURITY AGREEMENT

         THIS SECURITY AGREEMENT, dated as of this 23rd day of March, 1995, by
and between COCOLA MEDIA CORPORATION OF FLORIDA, a Delaware corporation with
its principal place of business at 706 W. Herndon Avenue, Fresno, California
93650 (the "Debtor"), and PAXSON COMMUNICATIONS CORP., a Delaware corporation
with its principal place of business at 18401 U.S. Highway 19 North,
Clearwater, Florida 34624 (the "Secured Party").

                              W I T N E S S E T H:


         WHEREAS, the Debtor and the Secured Party have entered into a Loan
Agreement dated of even date herewith (the "Agreement"), pursuant to which the
Secured Party has agreed to make a loan to the Debtor (the "Loan");

         WHEREAS, the Debtor has executed a promissory note dated of even date
herewith (the "Note"), evidencing its indebtedness to the Secured Party under
the Agreement; and

         WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the Debtor to execute and deliver
this Security Agreement to secure the Note as a condition of making the Loan;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and agreements
contained herein and the Secured Party's extension of the Loan and the
provision of credit to the Debtor and other valuable consideration, receipt of
which is hereby acknowledged, the Secured Party and the Debtor agree as
follows:

                 1.       GRANT OF SECURITY INTEREST. In order to secure the
payment of any and all amounts lent by the Secured Party to the Debtor pursuant
to the Agreement and the Note, plus interest accrued thereon and all other
obligations of the Debtor as provided by the Agreement (being hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Obligations"), the Debtor hereby grants to the
Secured Party a first perfected security interest in all of the Debtor's right,
title and interest in and to all of its personal property, both tangible and
intangible and of every kind and description, whether now or hereafter
existing, or now owned or hereafter acquired, and wherever located, and all
proceeds, products, replacements, additions, accessions and/or substitutes
therefor, including, without limitation, all goods, machinery, equipment,
furniture, furnishings, fixtures, inventory, accounts, chattel paper and
general intangibles, as such terms, may be defined in the Uniform Commercial
Code in the jurisdiction in which such assets are located, and, if and when the
Debtor acquires Television Station WHBI-TV, Channel 67, Lake Worth, Florida
(the "Station"), all properties and assets of the Debtor constituting part of
the Station, and the proceeds and products of any and all of the foregoing
assets and properties described in this Section 1, including proceeds of
insurance policies relating to any and all of the foregoing assets and
properties; provided, however, that such security interest does not include any
permits or
<PAGE>   29

                                      -2-

licenses granted by the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") to the
extent that the Debtor is prohibited from granting a security interest therein
pursuant to the Communications Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations
promulgated thereunder, and any other licenses to the extent the transfer or
pledging thereof is prohibited by the granting authority.

                 All of the foregoing shall be hereinafter referred to as the
"Collateral."

                 2.       WARRANTIES AND COVENANTS OF THE DEBTOR. The Debtor
represents, warrants and covenants that:

                 (a)      the Collateral (and all records pertaining thereto)
will at all times be kept at the Station and the Debtor will not change the
location at which any of the Collateral is usually kept or the location of any
of its chief executive offices or principal place of business without giving
thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Secured Party;

                 (b)      the Debtor owns and has possession of the Collateral
except that portion to be hereafter acquired;

                 (c)      all the Collateral is genuine and enforceable and,
except as permitted in the Agreement, free from liens, adverse claims, charges,
encumbrances, taxes or assessments, other than the liens created hereby, and
the Debtor shall defend the same against all claims and demands of all persons
at any time claiming against the same or any interests therein adverse to the
Secured Party;

                 (d)      all items of the Collateral comply with applicable
laws, including, where applicable, Federal Reserve Regulations and any state
consumer credit and usury laws;

                 (e)      no financing statement covering any of the
Collateral, and naming any secured party other that the Secured Party, is on
file in any public office;

                 (f)      the Debtor will, at its sole cost and expense,
maintain, replace, repair, service and take other action as may be necessary
from time to time to keep and preserve its inventory, machinery and equipment
in general repair and good working order and any inventory, machinery or
equipment which wears out or is destroyed will be replaced or restored if
necessary for the operation of the business of the Debtor in the ordinary
course. The Debtor will within 10 days notify the Secured Party of any event
comprising significant loss or decrease in the value of the hard assets portion
of the Collateral in excess of $20,000;

                 (g)      the Debtor will comply with all laws, rules and
regulations relating to, and shall pay prior to delinquency, all license fees,
registration fees, taxes and assessments and all other charges, which may be
levied upon or assessed against, or which may become security interests, liens
or other encumbrances upon the ownership, operation, possession or maintenance
of the Collateral; provided that the Debtor shall not be required to comply
with
<PAGE>   30

                                      -3-

any such law, rule or regulation or to pay any such tax or assessment or other
such charge, the validity of which is being contested by the Debtor in good
faith by appropriate proceedings commenced and prosecuted with due diligence
and with respect to which adequate reserves have been established and are being
maintained in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles;

                 (h)      the Debtor will execute and at its expense file and
refile such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents
prepared by the Secured Party in such offices as the Secured Party may deem
necessary or appropriate in order to protect or preserve the Secured Party's
security interest in the Collateral;

                 (i)      the Debtor will not sell, offer to sell, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of any material part of the Collateral (including
proceeds) subject hereto, or any part thereof or interest therein at any time
other than in the ordinary course of business and in exchange for Collateral of
like value in which the Secured Party shall have a security interest;

                 (j)      the Debtor will at all times keep accurate records
with respect to the Collateral which are as complete and comprehensive as those
which are customarily maintained by those engaged in similar businesses, and
the Secured Party will have the right to inspect such records at such times and
from time to time as the Secured Party may reasonably request;

                 (k)      the Debtor will provide any service and do any other
acts or things necessary to keep the Collateral free and clear of all defenses,
rights of offset and counterclaims. The Secured Party may, at any time prior to
termination hereof, require the Debtor from time to time to deliver to the
Secured Party schedules describing all the Collateral subject hereto,
appropriately assigned and endorsed to the Secured Party;

                 (l)      the Debtor will maintain insurance on the Collateral
as required under Section 6.01(e) of the Agreement. In the event of failure to
provide and maintain insurance as herein provided, the Secured Party may, at
its option, provide such insurance and the Debtor hereby promises to pay the
Secured Party on demand the amount of any disbursements made by the Secured
Party for such purpose. Risk of loss or damage shall accrue to the Debtor to
the extent of any deficiency in any effective insurance. The Debtor shall
furnish to the Secured Party certificates or other evidence satisfactory to the
Secured Party of compliance with the foregoing insurance provisions. The Debtor
shall give immediate written notice to the Secured Party and to the insurers of
any loss or damage to the Collateral or any part thereof in excess of $20,000
and shall promptly file all necessary or appropriate proof of loss with the
insurers. Any amounts collected or received under any such insurance policies
may be applied by the Debtor either to the replacement or restoration of the
Collateral or to any of the Obligations secured hereby in the manner provided
in Section 8 hereof; and
<PAGE>   31

                                      -4-


                 (m)      the Debtor shall not change its name, identity or
corporate structure, voluntarily or involuntarily.

                 3.       AUTHORITY TO COLLECT. Except as otherwise hereinafter
set forth, unless and until the occurrence of an event which constitutes an
Event of Default hereunder or which upon the giving (or receiving) of notice or
the lapse of time or both would constitute such an Event of Default, the Debtor
shall continue to collect, at its own expense, all amounts due and to become
due under any accounts, chattel paper, or general intangibles and in connection
therewith may take such action as it may deem necessary, advisable, convenient
or proper for the enforcement, collection, adjustment, settlement or compromise
thereof.

                 4.       EVENTS OF DEFAULT. The occurrence of an Event of
Default hereunder shall be as defined in the Agreement.

                 5.       REMEDIES. Upon the occurrence of an Event of
Default, the Secured Party shall have the right to declare immediately due and
payable all of the Obligations, as provided in the Agreement, without other
notice or demand, and to terminate any commitments to make loans or otherwise
extend credit to the Debtor. The Secured Party shall have all the rights and
remedies of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code and all other
rights, privileges, powers and remedies provided by law or equity.

                 Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the
occurrence of an Event of Default:

                 (a)      the Secured Party shall have the power to notify the
account debtor or debtors obligated under any accounts, chattel paper, and
general intangibles of the assignment of such accounts, chattel paper, and
general intangibles to the Secured Party and of its security interest therein
and to direct such account debtor or debtors to make payment of all amounts due
or to become due to the Debtor thereunder directly to the Secured Party and,
upon such notification to the account debtor or debtors, to enforce collection
of any thereof in the same manner and to the same extent as the Debtor might
have done. The funds so collected shall be held as security for the payment of
the Obligations secured hereby and applied in the manner provided in Section 8
hereof.

                 The Debtor hereby constitutes and appoints the Secured Party
as its true and lawful attorney, in the place and stead of the Debtor and with
full power of substitution, either in the Secured Party's own name or in the
name of the Debtor, to ask for, demand, collect, receive and give acquittance
for any and all monies due or to become due under and by virtue of any account,
chattel paper, and general intangibles, to endorse checks, drafts, orders and
other instruments for the repayment of monies payable to the Debtor on account
thereof, and to settle, compromise, prosecute or defend any action, claim or
proceeding with respect thereto and to sell, assign, pledge, transfer and make
any agreement respecting, or otherwise deal with, the same; provided, however,
that nothing herein contained shall be
<PAGE>   32

                                      -5-

construed as requiring or obligating the Secured Party to make any demand, or
to make any inquiry as to the nature or sufficiency of any payment received by
it, or to present or file any claim or notice or to take any action with
respect to any account, chattel paper, or general intangible or the monies due
or to become due thereunder or the property covered thereby, and no action
taken or omitted to be taken by the Secured Party with respect to any account,
chattel paper, or general intangible shall give rise to any defense,
counterclaim or set off in favor of the Debtor or to any claim or action
against the Secured Party;

                 (b)      the Debtor will deliver to the Secured Party from
time to time, as requested by the Secured Party, current lists of the
Collateral;

                 (c)      the Debtor will not dispose of the Collateral, except
on terms approved in writing by the Secured Party;

                 (d)      the Debtor will collect, assemble and deliver all of
the Collateral and books and records pertaining thereto, to the Secured Party
at a reasonably convenient place designated by the Secured Party; and

                 (e)      the Secured Party may, to the extent permitted by
law, enter onto the Debtor's premises and take possession of the Collateral,
and assign, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of the Debtor's interest in the
Collateral in a commercially reasonable manner for the account of the Debtor
and the Debtor shall then be liable for the difference between the payments and
other amounts due under the Agreement and amounts received pursuant to such
assignment or contract of sale or lease or other disposition of the Debtor's
interest in the Collateral and the amount of such difference shall then be
immediately due and payable. The Secured Party may, in its sole discretion,
designate a custodian or agent to take physical possession of the Collateral.
The Secured Party shall give the Debtor reasonable notice of the time and place
of any public sale of the Collateral or the time after which any private sale
or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of
reasonable notice shall be met if notice of the sale or other intended
disposition is mailed, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to the Debtor at
its address set forth in Section 16 hereof or such other address as the Debtor
may by notice have furnished the Secured Party in writing for such purpose, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the time of such sale or other intended
disposition.

                 All notices of public or private sale shall specify that the
assignment of the broadcast license(s) of the Station must first be approved by
the FCC and such notice shall be given to all persons attending a public sale.
The Debtor agrees that it will join and cooperate fully with the Secured Party
or with the successful bidder or bidders at any public or private sale in the
filing of an application, and furnishing any additional information that may be
required in connection with the application with the FCC, requesting the FCC's
prior approval of the assignment of the licenses of the Station to the Secured
Party or the successful bidder or bidders. The Debtor will take such further
actions, or cause such further actions to be taken that may be necessary or
desirable to obtain such FCC approval
<PAGE>   33

                                      -6-

and will execute and deliver, or will cause the execution and delivery of, all
applications, certificates, instruments and other documents that may be
necessary or desirable in connection with such approval. The parties agree that
the Collateral and license(s) shall not be assigned and transferred to separate
parties.

                 Each purchaser at any such sale shall hold the property sold
absolutely free from any claim or right on the part of the Debtor, and the
Debtor hereby waives (to the extent permitted by law) all rights of redemption,
stay and/or appraisal which it now has or may at any time in the future have
under any rule of law or statute now existing or hereafter enacted.

                 6.       POWERS OF THE SECURED PARTY. The Debtor appoints the
Secured Party its true attorney in fact to perform any of the following powers,
which are coupled with an interest, and are irrevocable until termination of
this Security Agreement and may be exercised by the Secured Party's officers
and employees, or any of them, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
hereunder:

                 (a)      to perform any obligation of the Debtor hereunder in
the Debtor's name or otherwise;

                 (b)      to give notice of the Secured Party's rights in the
Collateral, to enforce the same, and make extension agreements with respect
thereto;

                 (c)      to release persons liable on the Collateral and to
give receipts and acquittance and compromise disputes in connection therewith;

                 (d)      to release security;

                 (e)      to resort to security in any order;

                 (f)      to prepare, execute, file, record or deliver notes,
assignments, schedules, designation statements, financing statements,
continuation statements, termination statements, statements of assignment and
applications or registration or like papers to perfect, preserve or release the
Secured Party's interest in the Collateral;

                 (g)      to verify facts concerning the Collateral by inquiry
of obligors thereon, or otherwise;

                 (h)      to endorse, collect, deliver and receive payment
under instruments for the payment of money constituting or relating to
Collateral;

                 (i)      to prepare, adjust, execute, deliver and receive
payment under insurance claims;
<PAGE>   34

                                      -7-

                 (j)      to exercise all rights, powers and remedies which the
Debtor would have, but for this Security Agreement, under all of the Collateral
subject to this Security Agreement; and

                 (k)      to do all acts and things and execute all documents
in the name of the Debtor or otherwise, deemed by the Secured Party as
necessary, proper and convenient in connection with the preservation,
perfection or enforcement of its rights hereunder.

                 7.       REMITTANCES. The Debtor agrees that upon the
occurrence and during the continuance of an event which constitutes an Event of
Default or which upon the giving (or receiving) of notice or lapse of time of
both would constitute such an Event of Default, all cash or proceeds received
by the Debtor as a result of the sale, lease or other disposition of any
Collateral, whether received by the Debtor in the exercise of its collection
rights hereunder or otherwise, shall be remitted to the Secured Party or
deposited to an account for the benefit of the Secured Party (according to its
instructions) in the form received (properly endorsed to the order of the
Secured Party or for collection in accordance with the Secured Party's
instructions) not later than the banking business day following the day of
receipt, to be held as security for the payment of the Obligations secured
hereby and applied by the Secured Party as provided in Section 8 hereof. The
Debtor agrees not to commingle any such collections or proceeds with any of its
other funds or property and agrees to hold the same upon an express trust for
the Secured Party until remitted to the Secured Party.

                 8.       APPLICATION OF PROCEEDS. Except as expressly provided
elsewhere in this Security Agreement, all proceeds of the sale of the
Collateral by the Secured Party hereunder, and all other monies received by the
Secured Party pursuant to the terms of this Security Agreement (whether through
the exercise by the Secured Party of its rights of collection or otherwise),
including, but not limited to, any awards or other amounts payable upon any
condemnation or taking by eminent domain, shall be applied, as promptly as is
practicable after the receipt thereof by the Secured Party as follows:

         FIRST: to the payment of all fees and expenses incurred by the Secured
Party or any custodian appointed hereunder, if not previously paid by the
Debtor, and all expenses incurred by the Secured Party in connection with any
sale of the Collateral, including, but not limited to, the expenses of taking,
advertising, processing, preparing and storing the Collateral to be sold, all
court costs and fees and expenses of counsel to the Secured Party in connection
therewith, to the payment of all expenses to be paid by the Debtor pursuant to
Section 17 of this Security Agreement, and to the payment of all amounts for
which the Secured Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder and all
advances made by the Secured Party hereunder to the account of the Debtor and
the payment of all costs and expenses paid or incurred by the Secured Party in
connection with the exercise of any right or remedy hereunder, to the extent
that such advances, costs and expenses shall not theretofore have been
reimbursed to the Secured Party by the Debtor;
<PAGE>   35

                                      -8-

         SECOND: to the payment to the Secured Party of the interest then due
and payable on the Note;

         THIRD: to the payment to the Secured Party of the principal then due
and payable on the Note;

         FOURTH: to the payment to the Secured Party of any other amount owing
to the Secured Party under the Agreement and any other documents related
thereto or under any other agreement of the Debtor with the Secured Party; and

         FIFTH: only if all of the foregoing have been paid in full, to the
Debtor.

         Notwithstanding the sale or other disposition of any Collateral by the
Secured Party hereunder, the Debtor shall remain liable for any deficiency.

                 9.       RIGHTS CUMULATIVE. The rights, privileges, powers and
remedies of the Secured Party shall be cumulative and no single or partial
exercise of any of them shall preclude the further or other exercise of the
same or any other of them. No delay or failure of the Secured Party in
exercising any right, power, privilege or remedy hereunder shall affect such
right, power, privilege or remedy. Nor shall any single or partial exercise of
any right, power, privilege or remedy or any abandonment or discontinuance of
steps to enforce such right, power, privilege or remedy affect such right,
power, privilege or remedy. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind
by the Secured Party of any default hereunder, or any such waiver of any
provisions or conditions hereof, must be in writing and shall be effective only
to the extent set forth in writing and shall not constitute a waiver of any
subsequent or other default. Failure of the Secured Party to insist upon strict
performance or compliance by the Debtor of any covenants, warranties or
agreements in this Security Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any
subsequent or other failure to perform or comply with any covenants, warranties
or agreements.

                 10.      CONTINUING AGREEMENT. This is a continuing agreement
and shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the Debtor and
the successors and assigns of the Debtor until all of the Obligations shall
have been fully satisfied and discharged.

                 11.      REINSTATEMENT OF AGREEMENT. If the Secured Party
shall have proceeded to enforce its rights under this Security Agreement and
such proceedings shall have been discontinued or abandoned for any reason prior
to the issuance of any judgment or award, then the Debtor and the Secured Party
shall be restored respectively to their positions and rights hereunder, and all
rights, remedies and powers of the Debtor and the Secured Party shall continue

any of the Obligations of the Debtor and may deliver the Collateral, or any
part thereof, to the assignee or transferee of any such obligation, who shall
become vested with all the rights, remedies, powers, security interests and
liens herein granted to the Secured Party in respect thereto; and the Secured
Party shall thereafter be relieved and fully discharged from any liability or

the Collateral, the Secured Party shall be under no duty to send notices,
perform services, pay for insurance, taxes or other charges or take any action

respect thereto shall be to use reasonable care in its custody and preservation
while in its possession, which shall not include any steps necessary to
preserve rights against prior parties.

                 14.      PERFORMANCE OF OBLIGATIONS BY THE SECURED PARTY. If
the Debtor shall fail to do any act or thing which it has covenanted to do
hereunder, or if any representation or warranty of the Debtor shall be
breached, the Secured Party may (but shall not be obligated to) perform such
act or thing on behalf of the Debtor or cause it to be done or remedy any such
breach, and there shall be added to the liabilities of the Debtor hereunder the
cost or expense incurred by the Secured Party in so doing, and any and all
amounts expended by the Secured Party in taking any such action shall be
repayable to it upon demand being made to the Debtor therefore and shall bear
interest at the rate provided for in the Note, from and including the date
advanced to the date of repayment.

                 15.      MISCELLANEOUS. After due consideration and
consultation with its attorneys, the Debtor voluntarily and knowingly, to the

Obligations or indebtedness of customers, the release or substitution of
security, and the release of guarantors, if any; and (d) the Debtor waives

right or remedy provided by this Security Agreement and also waives its rights,
if any, to set aside or invalidate any sale duly consummated in accordance with
the provisions of this Security Agreement on the grounds that the sale was
consummated without a prior judicial hearing.

                 16.      NOTICES. All notices or demands of any kind which may
be required or which the Secured Party desires to serve upon the Debtor under
the terms of this Security Agreement shall be served upon the Debtor by

                                PLEDGE AGREEMENT


                          THIS PLEDGE AGREEMENT, made and entered into as of
this 23rd day of March, 1995 by and between GARY COCOLA, an individual (the

"Loan") to the Company;

         WHEREAS, the Pledgor is the sole shareholder of the Company and
therefore will obtain a material benefit from the extension of credit to the

         WHEREAS, the Agreement provides for the Pledgor to enter into this
Pledge Agreement as additional security for the Loan;

         NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of loans, credit or other financial
accommodation extended or continued from time to time to the Company by the
Pledgee, the Pledgor does hereby agree as follows:

                          1.      PLEDGE.

                                  (a) The Pledgor hereby grants to the Pledgee
a first priority security interest in and pledges, assigns and delivers the
stock certificate(s) described in Exhibit A annexed hereto, constituting all
the issued and outstanding shares of stock of the Company owned by the Pledgor
(the "Stock"), accompanied by stock powers, duly executed in blank.

                                  (b) The Pledgor and the Pledgee agree that
the Stock shall be held on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth as
collateral security for the obligations of the Company to the Pledgee under the
Agreement and the promissory note issued pursuant thereto (the "Note").

                          2.      REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Pledgor
represents and warrants to the Pledgee as follows:

                                  a) that the Stock constitutes all of the
issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company;
<PAGE>   40

                                      -2-

                                  b) that the Stock is validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and is not subject to any liens, charges or encumbrances
whatsoever;

                                  c) that there are no existing options,
warrants or other rights to purchase the Company's stock;

                                  d) that the execution, delivery and
performance of this Pledge Agreement will not conflict with, result in a breach
of or constitute a default under any indenture or agreement to which the
Pledgor or the Company is a party or by which it is bound, or result in the
creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance of any nature
whatsoever on any of its property or assets;

                                  e) this Pledge Agreement constitutes the
legal, valid and binding obligation of the Pledgor, enforceable in accordance
with its terms;

                                  f) the Pledgor has all requisite power and
authority to enter into this Pledge Agreement and to carry out the transactions
contemplated hereby; and

                                  g) no consent or approval of any person or
entity, other than the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), is or will
be required in connection with the execution, delivery and performance of this
Pledge Agreement.

                          3.      TERM. The Pledgee shall hold the Stock as
security for the performance by the Company of its obligations and liabilities
under the Agreement and the Note, and the Stock shall be held by the Pledgee
until the principal and interest due on the Note are paid in full and the Loan
Agreement shall have terminated, at which time the Pledgee shall deliver the
Stock to the Pledgor free and clear of this Pledge Agreement, and this Pledge
Agreement shall thereupon terminate.

                          4.      VOTING. While the certificates representing
the Stock continue to be held by the Pledgee, such certificates shall remain in
the name of the Pledgor and the Pledgor shall have and exercise all rights of
ownership, including the right to vote the Stock. If an Event of Default, as
such term is defined in the Agreement, the provisions of which Agreement are
hereby incorporated by reference herein, shall occur, in addition to the
remedies set forth in Section 6 hereof, the Pledgee shall be entitled, subject
to the prior approval of the FCC, to vote and exercise all of the power of an
owner with respect to the Stock and receive, on account of the obligations
evidenced by the Note, all sums distributed by the Company with respect to the
Stock.

                          5.      STOCK ADJUSTMENTS. The Pledgor agrees that in
the event that during the term of this Pledge Agreement any stock dividend,
reclassification, readjustment or other change is declared or made with respect
to the Stock, or any subscription, warrant or other option is exercisable with
respect to the Stock, it shall cause all new, substituted or additional shares
or other securities issued by reason of any such change or option to be
<PAGE>   41

                                      -3-

delivered to the Pledgee and to be held by the Pledgee under the terms of this
Pledge Agreement in the same manner as the shares of Stock originally pledged
hereunder. There likewise shall be deposited with the Pledgee, to be added to
the pledged property and subject to the pledge, any and all additional issued
shares of the Company to the Pledgor by way of stock dividend, stock splits,
stock rights, new securities or otherwise, to the end that the Pledgee will at
all times hold, subject to the pledge, all the issued and outstanding stock of
the Company owned by the Pledgor.

                          6.      REMEDIES. If an Event of Default, as such
term is defined in the Agreement, shall occur, the Pledgee may, after thirty
(30) days' prior written notice to the Pledgor, sell, assign and deliver the
whole or, from time to time, any part of the Stock or any interest or part
thereof, at any private sale or at public auction, for cash, or credit or for
other property, for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices
and on such terms as the Pledgee reasonably may determine to be commercially
reasonable. The Pledgee shall give the Pledgor reasonable notice of the time
and place of any public sale of the Stock or the time after which any private
sale or other intended disposition thereof is to be made. The requirement of
reasonable notice shall be met if notice of such sale or other intended
disposition is mailed, by certified or registered mail, return receipt
requested, to the Pledgor at the address set forth in Section 9 at least thirty
(30) days prior to the time of such sale or other intended disposition;
provided that all notices of such sale shall specify that transfer of any stock
interest representing control of the Company must first be approved by the FCC
and similar notice shall be given to all those attending such sale. The Pledgor
hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption whether
before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale the Pledgee may bid for and
purchase for its own account the whole or any part of the Stock so sold, free
from any such right or equity of redemption. After obtaining all required
consents from the FCC and upon completion of the sale, Pledgee shall deliver
the Stock, or any portion thereof, to the purchaser or purchasers thereof.  The
net proceeds of any such sale shall be applied as follows:

                                  i)   First, to the expenses of the sale and
enforcement of this Pledge Agreement, including but not limited to, the
expenses of advertising, preparing and prosecuting any necessary FCC
application, and attorneys' fees and expenses;

                                  ii)  Second, to the payment of interest under
the Note;

                                  iii) Third, to the payment of the principal
of the Note; and

                                  iv)  Fourth, only after payment in full of
the above, to the payment to the Pledgor of any excess proceeds, along with any
shares of the Stock remaining unsold, subject to the receipt of notice of and
the provisions of any other agreement between the parties with respect to the
disposition of said excess proceeds or unsold shares. Notwithstanding the sale
or other disposition of the Stock by the Pledgee hereunder, the Company shall
remain liable for any deficiency.
<PAGE>   42

                                      -4-

                          The Pledgor and the Pledgee hereby agree to use good
faith efforts to answer FCC inquiries, if any, with respect to obtaining the
aforementioned FCC approvals and shall otherwise seek said approvals
diligently, each taking all steps reasonably necessary or desirable to expedite
the procurement of such approvals. Neither failure nor delay on the part of the
Pledgee to exercise any right, remedy, power or privilege provided for herein
or by statute or at law or in equity shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor
shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, remedy, power or
privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any
other right, remedy, power or privilege. Any other provision of this Pledge
Agreement notwithstanding, any foreclosure of or disposal of the Stock under
the terms of this Pledge Agreement upon the occurrence of an Event of Default
under the Agreement shall be made pursuant to Section 310 of the Communications
Act of 1934, as amended, and to the applicable rules and regulations of the
FCC, as amended, and, if and to the extent required, after prior written
approval of the FCC.

                          7.      ENCUMBRANCES. During the term of this Pledge
Agreement specified in Section 3, the Pledgor shall not sell, assign, transfer
or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or mortgage, pledge
or otherwise encumber the Stock unless said mortgage, pledge or encumbrance is
subject to a subordination agreement satisfactory to the Pledgee.

                          8.      MISCELLANEOUS.

                                  8.1 Transfer taxes, if any, applicable to any
transfer of shares of Stock upon the occurrence of an Event of Default or upon
termination of the Pledge Agreement shall be payable by the person or persons
to whom the shares are being transferred, provided, however, that the Pledgor
agrees to reimburse the Pledgee promptly for all such transfer taxes which the
Pledgee may be required to pay.

                                  8.2 No single or partial exercise of any
power hereunder shall preclude other or future exercise thereof or the exercise
of any other power. The holder of the Note may proceed against any portion of
the security held therefor in such order and in such manner as the holder may
see fit, without waiver of any rights with respect to any other security.

                                  8.3      The Pledgee may deal in any manner
with the Note, the Agreement or any other agreement required thereby without
notice except to the extent notice is otherwise required to or the consent of
the Pledgor, including, without limitation, in the following manner:

                                        (a)     to modify, supplement or
otherwise change any terms of the Note, the Agreement or any such other
agreement (subject to any right of the Company or any other party to the
agreement to consent to any modification of or supplement or change to any such
terms); to grant any extension or renewal of the Note, the Agreement or such
other agreement; to grant any other waiver or indulgence with respect to
<PAGE>   43

                                      -5-

the Note, the Agreement or such other agreement and to effect any release,
compromise or settlement with respect to the Note, the Agreement or such other
agreement; and

                                        (b)     to consent to the substitution,
exchange or release of all or any part of any other security (other than the
Stock) at any time held by the Pledgee as security or surety for the
obligations secured hereby.

                          9.      NOTICES. All notices required to be sent

                            ACQUISITION AGREEMENT


     This Acquisition Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of the 1st
day of January, 1996 (the "Effective Date"), by Lowell W. Paxson, an individual
residing in the State of Florida ("Buyer"), World Travelers Network, Inc., a
Florida corporation ("WTN"), World Travelers Network-Miami, Inc., a Florida
corporation ("WTN-Miami"), and Paxson Communications Corporation, a Delaware
corporation ("PCC").


                                    RECITALS

     PCC has operated its "World Travelers Network" (the "Business") through
WTN and WTN-Miami, which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of PCC, and desires to
sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from PCC, effective as of the
Effective Date, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of
each of WTN and WTN-Miami, and in connection with such sale to (i) cause WTN
and WTN-Miami to assign their respective accounts receivable to PCC and (ii)
assume all liabilities of WTN and WTN-Miami, in each case as of the Effective
Date, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.


                                   AGREEMENT

     1. PURCHASE OF SECURITIES.  Buyer hereby purchases and acquires from PCC,
and PCC hereby sells, transfers, assigns and delivers to Buyer, as of the
Effective Date, all right, title and interest in and to all of the issued and
outstanding shares of capital stock of each of WTN and WTN-Miami held by PCC,
consisting of 100 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of WTN and
100 shares of common stock, par value $.01 per share, of WTN-Miami
(collectively, the "Securities").  Upon transfer of the Securities to Buyer in
accordance with the terms of this Agreement, Buyer shall acquire ownership of
the Securities free and clear of any and all debts, liabilities, obligations,
liens or encumbrances of any nature whatsoever, except such as may be created
by the terms of this Agreement.

     2. ASSIGNMENT OF RECEIVABLES AND ASSUMPTION OF LIABILITIES.  As of the
Effective Date, (i) each of WTN and WTN-Miami hereby sells, transfers and
assigns to PCC all right, title and interest in and to all of its accounts
receivable, and (ii) PCC hereby assumes liability for payment and performance
of all liabilities and obligations of each of WTN and WTN-Miami, in each case
as reflected on their respective books and records.  From and after the
Effective Date, neither WTN, WTN-Miami nor Buyer shall have any liability or
responsibility for any liabilities or obligations of either of WTN or
WTN-Miami, the full payment and performance of which are hereby expressly
assumed by PCC.

     3. PURCHASE PRICE.  The price payable by Buyer to PCC for the Securities
(the "Purchase Price") is $70,322, payable in cash at the Closing
simultaneously with the execution and delivery of this Agreement.  PCC
represents that the Purchase Price is equal to the combined book value of the
assets of WTN and WTN-Miami excluding their accounts receivable and liabilities
as of the Effective Date.  If, prior to April 1, 1996, Buyer sells, or agrees
to sell, the Securities or all or substantially all of the assets of either or
both of WTN and WTN-Miami for an aggregate price in excess of $70,322, Buyer
shall pay PCC, upon completion of such sale, the amount of such excess, which
shall be deemed a part of the Purchase Price.

     4. CLOSING.  The Closing of the transactions described in this Agreement
(the "Closing") shall take place simultaneously with the execution of this
Agreement on a date mutually agreed to by the parties (the "Closing Date") at
the offices of PCC, with all transactions described in this Agreement to be
effective as of the Effective Date.  At the Closing, PCC shall deliver or cause
to be delivered to Buyer possession and control of the certificates
representing the Securities and all documents, instruments, files and papers in
PCC's possession which relate to the assets of WTN or WTN-Miami other than
their respective accounts receivable.

validly authorized by all requisite corporate and stockholder action, including
the approval of PCC, and no further authorization, approval or consent is
required in connection therewith.  The officer executing this Agreement on
behalf of PCC is duly authorized to do so.  This Agreement has been duly
executed and delivered by, and is the legal, valid and binding obligation of,
each of WTN, WTN-Miami and PCC, and is enforceable against each of them in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general equitable
principles.

encumbrances of any nature whatsoever.  There are no options, warrants or other

     6. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF BUYER.  Buyer represents and warrants
to PCC that:  (i) Buyer has all requisite legal capacity to execute, deliver
and perform this Agreement and to complete the transactions contemplated
hereby; and (ii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by, and is
the legal, valid and binding obligation of, Buyer and is enforceable against
Buyer in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be
limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and similar laws
affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally and by general
equitable principles.

     7. MISCELLANEOUS.

        7.1  NO BROKERS.  Neither party has employed or is obligated to any
broker or finder or has incurred or will incur any broker's, finder's, or
similar fees, commissions or expenses in connection with the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement.  Any party which breaches this representation
shall indemnify and hold harmless any other party to this Agreement from and
against any loss, claim or damage suffered or incurred by such other party by
reason of such breach.

        7.2 ENTIRE AGREEMENT.  This Agreement contains the entire agreement
between the parties relating to the transactions contemplated herein and

warranties or representations other than as expressly provided or referred to

amended by the parties at any time.  Any such waiver, extension or 



<PAGE>   5

amendment shall be evidenced by an instrument in writing executed by an officer
authorized to execute waivers, extensions or amendments.  No waiver by any
party, whether express or implied, of its rights under any provision of this
Agreement shall constitute a waiver of such party's rights under such
provisions at any other time or a waiver of such party's rights under any other
provision of this Agreement.  No failure by a party to take action against a
breach of this  Agreement or default by another party shall constitute a waiver
of the former party's right to enforce any provision of this Agreement or to
take action against such breach or default or any subsequent breach or default
by such other party.

        7.5 SEVERABILITY.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement is
declared invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, and the provision held to be
invalid, illegal or unenforceable shall be enforced as nearly as possible
according to its original terms and intent to eliminate such invalidity,
illegality or unenforceability.

        7.6 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors,
heirs and assigns and upon all persons asserting rights under, through or on
behalf of any of the parties to this Agreement.

        7.7 NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS.  The provisions of this Agreement are for
the exclusive benefit of the parties hereto, and no other person (including
without limitation any creditor of a party) shall have any right or claim
against any party to this Agreement by reason of those provisions or be
entitled to enforce any of those provisions against any party to this
Agreement.

        7.9 HEADINGS; COUNTERPARTS.  The section and other headings contained
in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect the
meaning or interpretation of any provisions of this Agreement.  This Agreement
may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an
original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same
instrument.

against the other to interpret or enforce any 


<PAGE>   6


of the terms of this Agreement or as a result of a breach by the other
party of any of its terms, the prevailing party in such action shall be
entitled to recover from the nonprevailing party reasonable attorneys' fees,
costs and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with such

                                LEASE AGREEMENT
 
     THIS LEASE is made and entered into as of this 15th day of May, 1994, by
and between Paxson Communications of Tampa-66, Inc., a Florida corporation
(hereinafter referred to as "Lessee"), and The Christian Network, Inc., a
Florida non-profit Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Lessor").
 
                               STATEMENT OF FACTS
 
     A. Lessor operates a television production and distribution facility in
Florida ("Television Production").
 
     B. Lessee will be providing programming for Television Station WTBG-TV,
Bradenton, Florida (the "Station").
 
     C. In order to permit Lessee's provision of programming to the Station, the
Lessor has agreed to lease the premises described in Exhibit A to Lessee (the
"Leased Premises").
 
     D. Lessor and Lessee desire to set forth the terms and conditions
associated with this Lease.
 
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth in
this Lease, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is
hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
     1. TERM.
 
     (a) Initial and Renewal Terms.  Lessor leases to Lessee, and Lessee leases
from Lessor, subject to the terms of this Lease, the Leased Premises for an
Initial Term commencing at 12:00 A.M. on August 1, 1994 (the "Commencement
Date") and expiring at 12:00 Midnight on the date five (5) years following the
first day of the calendar month next following the Commencement Date (the
"Initial Term"), unless this Lease is sooner terminated as hereinafter provided.
 
     This Lease may be renewed by Lessee for an additional term of 5 years (a
"Renewal Term") upon no less than 30-days notice to Lessor prior to the
expiration of the Initial Term or the Renewal Term. The Initial Term and the
Renewal Term shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth in
this Lease.
 
     (b) Holding Over.  If Lessee or anyone claiming under Lessee shall remain
in possession of the Leased Premises or any part thereof after the expiration of
the Initial Term or any Renewal Term without any agreement in writing between
the Lessor and Lessee with respect thereto, prior to acceptance of rent by
Lessor, the person remaining in possession shall be 


<PAGE>   3

                                    - 2 -


deemed a tenant at sufferance, and, after acceptance of rent by Lessor, the 
party remaining in possession shall be deemed a tenant from month to month, 
subject to the provisions of this Lease. The rental during any such period 
shall equal to one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the rental in effect 
immediately preceding such expiration.
 
     2. RENT AND TAXES.
 
     (a) Rent for Initial Term and Any Renewal Term.  Lessee convents and agrees
to pay Lessor for the Leased premises during the Initial Term of this Lease and
the Renewal Term hereunder the amounts set forth (the "Rent") in Exhibit B. The
Rent paid by Lessee shall be subject to Florida sales tax which tax will be
collected by Lessor from Lessee.
 
     (b) Additional Rent.  Lessee shall pay as additional rent all taxes,
assessments, and other governmental charges, all utility charges, all premiums
on insurance policies required by the terms hereof, and all other expenses and
charges which, during the term hereof, shall arise, be levied, assessed, charged
or imposed upon or with respect to, or be incurred in connection with, the
ownership, possession, use, occupation, operation, maintenance, repair or
alteration of the Leased Premises, it being the purpose and intent of the Lessor
and the Lessee that the rent shall be absolutely net to the Lessor so that this
Lease shall yield, net to Lessor, the rent specified in each year during the 
term hereof and all renewal terms, if any. The Lessee agrees to indemnify and 
save the Lessor harmless from and against all damages, liability, costs and 
expenses which may be incurred or sustained by Lessor by reason of the 
nonpayment of the additional rent by Lessee.
 
     (b) Payment.  All monthly payments of rent or other sums due Lessor
hereunder shall be sent to or made at the offices of Lessor designated in
Section 17 hereof, or such other place as may be designated by Lessor from time
to time.
 
     3. USE OF ASSETS.
 
     (a) Lessee shall have the right to use the Leased Premises only for the
purpose of television broadcasting relating to the Station and Television
Production and associated activities and for the operation of transmit and
receive towers, satellite uplinks and receivers and associated equipment related
to Lessee's operations.
 
     (b) Lessee accepts the Leased Premises in their present condition ("as is")
and agrees that it will take good care of the Leased Premises, subject to
reasonable wear and tear, and that Lessee will return the Leased Premises to
Lessor in the same condition as said Leased Premises were in at the time control
was turned over to Lessee, subject to reasonable wear and tear, and damage done
by Lessor, if any. Furthermore, at Lessor's option, Lessee at its sole cost and
expense shall remove or change all alterations made pursuant to Section 5(a)
hereof 



<PAGE>   4

                                    - 3 -


so as to return said Leased Premises to Lessor in said same condition,
subject to this subsection 3(b). Lessee agrees that it will comply with all
laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations or requirements of all governmental
authorities which are applicable to its use of the Leased Premises.
 
     (c) Lessee shall have a right of access to the Studio Building (i) as may
be necessary or appropriate to operate the Station and (ii) at all reasonable
times for inspection, repair, maintenance and replacement of its equipment,
provided, however, that such access and activities shall not interfere with the
use of the Leased Premises by Lessor or any other tenant of Lessor, or interrupt
or otherwise adversely affect the continued broadcast operation or equipment of
any other tenant of Lessor. Lessor shall have a right of access to the Leased
Premises at all reasonable times, for examination, inspection, emergency repair
or replacement of Lessee's equipment, provided, however, that (except as may be
provided elsewhere in this Lease) Lessor shall take reasonable efforts to see
that such access and activity by Lessor does not interfere with the use of the
Leased Premises by Lessee or any other tenant, or interrupt or otherwise
adversely affect the continued broadcast operation of the Station.
 
     (d) Lessee, at its own cost and expense, shall obtain and maintain in
effect any and all permits, licenses and approvals that are or may be required
with respect to Lessee's broadcast operation or equipment by each governmental
authority having jurisdiction over such operation or equipment.
 
     (e) Lessor acknowledges Lessee's ownership of the equipment located on the
Leased Premises and further acknowledges that Lessor has no interest, secured or
otherwise, in such equipment, regardless of whether or not Lessee is in default
under this Agreement.
 
     4. UTILITIES Lessee shall be responsible for the furnishing of heat, 
water, electricity or other utilities (the "Utilities") to the Leased Premises 
for the benefit of Lessor.
 
     5. ALTERATIONS
 
     (a) Lessee, at its own expense and subject to the provisions of Subsection
5(b) hereof, may make such alterations, additions, changes and improvements
(herein called "Alterations") to the Leased Premises as Lessee may deem
necessary or desirable, subject to Lessor's approval, which approval shall not
be unreasonably withheld; provided that said Alternations shall not lessen the
value of the Leased Premises.
 
     (b) Before Lessee may make any Alterations to the Leased Premises in
accordance with the rights granted by Subsection 5(a) hereof, Lessee shall
submit to Lessor written specifications for such Alternations that are proposed
for Lessor's approval. Lessor, within thirty (30) days after receipt by it of
the written specifications, shall notify Lessee whether it approves such 
Alterations. If Lessor fails to notify Lessee in writing within 


<PAGE>   5
                                    - 4 -

                                      
such thirty (30) day period that it disapproves of such Alterations, Lessee may
proceed to cause the Alterations to be made.
 
     6. MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS.
 
     (a) Repairs to the Leased Premises are to be made at the sole cost of
Lessee. In the event that Lessee reasonably determines that a repair or
replacement is needed and Lessor after written notice does not make said repair
or replacement within a reasonable period of time, Lessee shall notify Lessor in
writing that it considers said repair or replacement necessary and that it is
contemplating making said repair. Lessee may then, at its option, make such
repair or replacement at its own expense. It is agreed that nothing in the
foregoing shall relieve Lessor from full performance of its obligations and that
the remedy referred to above is in addition to any other remedy available to
Lessee.
 
     (b) If the Leased Premises shall be partially damaged by fire or other
cause without the fault or neglect of Lessee or its employees, agents, visitors
or licensees, the Lessor shall proceed forthwith to replace or to repair the
Leased Premises with reasonable diligence at the expense of Lessor; provided, if
the Leased Premises are to be replaced or repaired and are untenantable in whole
or in part following such damage, the rent payable hereunder during the period
in which they are unusable shall be adjusted equitably; provided further,
however, if the Leased Premises are substantially damaged or rendered
substantially unusable by fire or other cause, including, but not limited to,
condemnation, and Lessor shall decide not to replace the same, then, within
ninety (90) days after such fire, casualty or condemnation, Lessor may give
Lessee notice in writing of the decision not to replace, whereupon the Term of
this Lease shall terminate, Lessee shall surrender the Leased Premises to
Lessor, and rent shall be abated for the unexpired portion of this Lease,
effective as of the date of said written notice from Lessor, and Lessor shall
have no further obligation or liability to Lessee. It is agreed that nothing in
this Subsection 6(b) shall require Lessor to replace or to repair any or all
Alterations.
 
     7. INDEMNITY AND INDEMNITY INSURANCE.
 
     (a) Lessee shall indemnify and hold harmless Lessor from any and all
claims, expenses or liabilities, including reasonable attorneys' fees and court
costs, for injuries to or death of persons, or damage to property arising out of
or in connection with Lessee's use of the Leased Premises. Lessee further agrees
to defend on behalf of Lessor all legal actions, if any, arising out of any such
claim for such damages. Lessor shall not be liable for loss or damage sustained
by Lessee by reason of business interruption resulting from any or all acts or
omissions of Lessor or violations by Lessor of any or all terms, covenants or
conditions of this Lease.
 

<PAGE>   6

                                    - 5 -


     (b) Lessee agrees that it will, at its expense, obtain and maintain during
the Term of this Lease public liability insurance against claims of injury to or
death of persons, or damage to property arising out of or in connection with
Lessee's use of the Leased Premises, naming Lessee and Lessor as insured
persons. Such public liability insurance shall be with an insurer that Lessor
finds reasonably satisfactory and shall have limits of not less than One Million
Dollars ($1,000,000) with respect to claims of injury to or death of any number
of persons in any one occurrence and not less than Two Hundred Thousand Dollars
($200,000) for property damage in any one occurrence. Lessee agrees to name
Lessor as a co-insured party on any and all such public liability insurance
policies. Satisfactory evidence of such coverage shall be submitted by Lessee to
Lessor.
 
     8. ASSIGNMENT.
 
     (a) Lessee's Right to Assign.  Neither this Lease nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be assigned, encumbered,
hypothecated, subleased or otherwise transferred without the prior written
consent of Lessor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon any
approved assignment, all references in this Lease to "Lessee" shall be deemed to
be references to Lessee's assignee.
 
     (b) Lessor's Right to Assign.  Neither this Lease nor any of the rights,
interests or obligations of Lessor hereunder shall be assigned, encumbered,
hypothecated, subleased or otherwise transferred without the prior written 
consent of Lessee which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. Upon any 
such assignment, all references in this Lease to "Lessor" shall be deemed to 
be references to Lessor's assignee.
 
     (c) This Lease shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
 
     9. CONDEMNATION.
 
     (a) If during the Term of this Lease the Leased Premises or any substantial
portion thereof shall be appropriated by any corporation or authority having the
right of eminent domain, or if access to the Leased Premises is restricted by
action of any such corporation or authority and reasonably comparable access is
not made available to the Leased Premises, this Lease and all obligations of
Lessor and Lessee hereunder shall cease and terminate as of the date the
appropriating corporation or authority takes possession thereof or materially
restricts access to the Leased Premises. All obligations of Lessee to pay any
rents or other charges whatsoever under the terms of this Lease shall be
apportioned as of such date in the same manner as if the Lease had expired on
such date according to its terms.
 

<PAGE>   7

                                    - 6 -


     (b) Whenever used herein, the terms "appropriated" or "appropriation" shall
include any voluntary transfer of the Leased Premises or any part thereof to any
corporation or authority having the right of eminent domain as a result of a
settlement of a threatened or pending appropriation action.
 
     (c) In the event of the appropriation of the whole or any part of the
Leased Premises, the amount received as compensation for the appropriation
(including in the case of an appropriation of part of the Leased Premises, any
amount allowed as damages to the remainder) shall be paid in full to Lessor,
subject, however, to any right of Lessee to receive any additional or specific
award from the appropriating corporation or authority to which it might be
entitled.
 
     (d) In any appropriation of the Leased Premises, Lessee shall have the
right to prove in the proceeding and to receive any award which may be for
damages to or condemnation of Lessee's movable trade fixtures, equipment,
furniture and furnishings and for moving and relocation expenses.
 
     10. INTERFERENCE AND RF RADIATION.
 
     (a) General.  Lessee will conduct its activities in accordance with
applicable requirements of the FCC and sound electronic and engineering practice
and will cooperate with Lessor and other tenants and potential tenants so as to
anticipate and prevent interference to the broadcast operations or equipment of
Lessor or any other tenant. If any engineering statement presented to or by the
Lessor confirms that Lessee's broadcast operation, transmission or other
activities on or around any portion of the Leased Premises are causing, or are
reasonably expected to cause, interference to the broadcast operation,
transmission or other activities of Lessor or any other tenant, Lessee shall, at
its sole expense, promptly correct or modify the conditions causing such
interference.
 
     (b) Interference to Lessee.  Upon determination that any other tenant is
causing interference to Lessee's broadcast operation, transmission or other
activities in or around any portion of the Leased Premises, Lessor will use its
reasonable best efforts to modify or correct promptly, or cause such other
tenant to modify or correct promptly, the condition causing such interference.
 
     (c) Interference Defined.  As used in this Lease, interference to a
broadcast operation, transmission or other similar activity shall mean a
condition or anticipated condition which constitutes or would constitute
interference within the meaning of the provisions of the recommended practices
of the Electronics Industries Association and the rules and regulations of the
FCC then in effect.

                                      - 7 -
 

     (d) Dispute as to Interference.  Any dispute as to whether interference is
being cause or expected to be cause, or as to who is causing such interference,
which remains unresolved for longer than seven (7) calendar days, shall be
submitted to a consulting electronic engineer who is not retained or otherwise
employed by Lessor, Lessee or any other tenant whose antenna is located on the
Tower, and the determination of such consulting electronic engineer shall be 
final and binding on all parties. The consulting engineer shall be jointly 
selected by Lessor and Lessee.
 
     (e) RF Radiation.  Lessee shall, at Lessee's expense, take all actions
required to ensure that Lessee's broadcast operation does not expose workers or
the general public to levels of radio frequency radiation in excess of the
"Radio Frequency Protection Guides" recommended in the American National
Standard Safety Levels with Respect to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency
Electromagnetic Fields, 300 kHz to 100 GHz (ANSI C95.1-1982) issued by the
American National Standards Institute.
 
     11. FORCE MAJEURE.  Neither Lessor nor Lessee shall be required to perform
any term, condition or covenant in this Lease so long as such performance is
delayed or prevented by force majeure, which shall mean Acts of God, strikes,
lockouts, material or labor restrictions by any governmental authority, civil
riots, floods, and any other cause not reasonably within the control of Lessor
or Lessee and which by the exercise of due diligence Lessor or Lessee is unable,
wholly or in part, to prevent or to overcome; provided, however, force majeure
shall not excuse Lessee from its obligation to pay rent or other sums hereunder
and Lessee shall be required to pay any and all rent and such other sums as
provided by this Lease.
 
     12. MECHANICS' LIENS.  Lessee shall not suffer or permit any mechanics'
liens to be filed against the Leased Premises by reason of work, labor or
materials supplied or claimed to have been supplied to Lessee that are not
removed or for which adequate bond has not been provided within thirty (30) days
of such filing. Furthermore, if any such lien at any time shall be filed against
the Leased Premises, Lessee shall proceed with due diligence to cause the same
to be discharged of record by payment, deposit, bond, order of court or
otherwise.
 
     13. LESSOR'S LIEN.  Lessor shall have a first lien upon every right and
interest of Lessee to and in the Leased Premises for the payment of rent and all
other sums payable by Lessee hereunder and as security for the performance and
observance of the agreements, conditions, and obligations of this Lease by and
between Lessor and Lessee, dated the date hereof, which agreements, conditions,
and obligations are to be performed and observed by Lessee.
 
     14. QUIET ENJOYMENT.  Lessor covenants that, upon payment by Lessee of all
rents and the performance by Lessee of all obligations pursuant to this Lease,
Lessee shall and may peaceably and quietly have and enjoy the Leased Premises
for and during the Term of 


<PAGE>   9

                                    - 8 -


this Lease, pursuant to the terms hereof, free from any hindrance from any 
person or persons whomsoever claiming by, through or under Lessor.
 
     15. DEFAULT.  If the Lessee defaults in fulfilling any of its material
covenants or obligations hereunder, or if the Lessee does not fully make all
payments of rent when due under this Lease, Lessor at its option may terminate
and end this Lease and all rights of the Lessee hereunder, and remove the
Assets provided that Lessee has been given written notice by Lessor and that
Lessee has not made full payment of the rent and cured all other such defaults,
if any, within fifteen (15) days following such notice. Furthermore, if Lessee
fails to make a payment of rent hereunder when due, Lessee shall be liable for
and pay to Lessor a late payment charge at the rate of eighteen percent (18%)
per annum, computed from the date said payment was due until the date said
payment is actually made. In the event of a default hereunder, other than the
nonpayment of rent or other monetary obligation, the Lessor shall have the
right to terminate this Lease if Lessee does not cure such default within
thirty (30) days of written notice from Lessor. In the event of said defaults,
in addition to said termination rights, Lessor shall have all other rights and
remedies to which it may be entitled. A waiver by the Lessor of any breach of
this Lease or any terms, conditions or promises herein contained must be in
writing to be effective and shall not be or construed to be a waiver of any
subsequent breach of the same or any other term, condition or promise herein
and the payment by the Lessee and acceptance by the Lessor of rent hereunder
shall not be construed to be a waiver of any breach of terms or conditions
herein except as to the particular installment of rent so paid and accepted.
 
     16. SURRENDER OF LEASED PREMISES.  Lessee, upon the expiration of the
Term of this Lease or the earlier termination of this Lease, shall surrender to
Lessor the Leased Premises in accordance with the terms and conditions provided
for in Subsection 3(b) hereof.
 
     17. NOTICES.  All notices, demands and requests required or permitted
to be given under the provisions of this Agreement shall be (i) in writing,
(ii) sent by telecopy (with receipt personally confirmed by telephone),
delivered by personal delivery, or sent by commercial delivery service or
certified mail, return receipt requested, (iii) deemed to have been given on
the date telecopied with receipt confirmed, the date of personal delivery, or

     (b) Lessee hereby releases Lessor from and holds Lessor harmless against
any and all claims that Lessee may hereafter have for loss, theft,

shall not apply to any grossly negligent, willful or wanton act of the Lessor,
its employees, agents or representatives. In the event that insurance on the

principal or other money due and payable by Maker to Payee under this Note
within five (5) business days after the due date thereof.  TIME BEING OF THE
ESSENCE.  Payment shall be deemed made upon receipt by Payee, or deposited into

become liable for the payment hereof hereby severally waive presentment, demand
for payment, notice of non-payment, protest, notice of protest, notice of

William B. Popjes
Western Michigan Family Broadcasting, Inc.
P.O. Box 907
Jenison, Michigan  49429-0907

Dear Mr. Popjes:

The Christian Network, Inc., or its assigns (the "Buyer"), hereby proposes to
enter into a Stock Purchase and Option Agreement with Western Michigan Family
Broadcasting, Inc. and William B. Popjes (collectively the "Seller") to
initially purchase Forty-Nine (49%) of the Seller's issued and outstanding
common voting stock (the "49% Stock").  Seller has been issued a Construction
Permit ("CP") by the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") to construct
Television Station WJUE-TV, Battle Creek, Michigan (the "Station").  Following
the purchase of the 49% Stock, Buyer will construct the Station using its own
funds while retaining title to the assets so purchased or otherwise contributed
to the Station's construction.  Once the Station has been constructed and
begins operation under Program Test Authority ("PTA") from the FCC, Buyer shall
have an exclusive Option to purchase the remaining Twenty-One (21%) percent of
the Seller's issued and outstanding common voting stock (the "21% Stock").
Additionally, Buyer proposes to create and deliver, at its expense,
programming, including commercial announcements, for the Station following its
construction and commencement of PTA operations for up to one hundred sixty-two
(162) hours per week (the "Time Brokerage Agreement").

TIME BROKERAGE AGREEMENT.  The Time Brokerage Agreement shall be executed
simultaneously with the Stock Purchase and Option Agreement (the "Operating
Agreements") and shall provide as follows:

1.       Buyer shall pay Seller upon the commencement of the Time Brokerage
         Agreement (i.e. PTA commencement), the sum of Four Thousand
         Eighty-Five Dollars ($4,085.00) and the same amount each month
         thereafter in advance as consideration for air time made available on
         the Station.

2.       The Time Brokerage Agreement will be executed simultaneously with the
         Stock Purchase and Option Agreement and will commence on the day the
         Station's PTA begins for an initial term of twelve (12) months.
         Thereafter, the term may be extended for the period of time it takes
         to Close Buyer's purchase of the 21% Stock.

3.       Buyer will have the right to produce its programming (including
         commercial announcements and related production activities) from
         Buyer's studio and production facilities.
4.       In addition to the monthly payments listed above, Buyer shall
         reimburse Seller for all expenses of the Station's operation during
         the Time Brokerage Agreement.  Buyer shall reimburse

<PAGE>   3

         Seller within five (5) business days after receipt of Seller's paid
         expense invoices.

5.       Consistent with regulations of the FCC, Seller shall elect to be
         carried on a "must-carry" basis sixty (60) days prior to commencing
         program tests and shall notify cable operators within the Station's
         ADI of this election.

STOCK PURCHASE AND OPTION AGREEMENT.  Simultaneously with the execution of the
Time Brokerage Agreement, the parties shall execute the Stock Purchase and
Option Agreement which Agreement shall be subject to the following terms and
conditions:

1.       Upon the execution of the Stock Purchase and Option Agreement, Buyer
         shall purchase the 49% Stock for the purchase price of Two Hundred
         Ninety-Four Thousand Dollars ($294,000.00) paid in cash.  Seller
         acknowledges that said sum represents 49% of the necessary expenses
         incurred in connection with the prosecution of the CP before the FCC.
         At the same time, Buyer shall loan Mr. Popjes $306,000.00 upon
         commercially reasonable terms for twenty-four months at the prime rate
         of interest charged by The Bank of New York (the "Loan").

2.       Upon the issuance of the 49% Stock to Buyer, and Seller's execution of
         an assignable transmitter site lease acceptable to Buyer, Buyer shall
         begin to purchase all necessary assets to construct the Station with
         Buyer retaining title to all such purchased assets.  Once PTA  has
         begun, Buyer shall forgive all principal and interest payments due
         under the Loan and such forgiveness shall represent consideration for
         the Option summarized below.

3.       Buyer shall have the exclusive Option to purchase the 21% Stock to be
         exercised at any time during the ninety (90) day period beginning on
         the day after the first anniversary of PTA, or such earlier time if no
         one year holding period is required by the FCC.  At the closing (the
         "Closing") on the 21% Stock, to be held on a date set by Buyer, which
         shall be within ten (10) business days after the consent of the FCC to
         the transfer of control of Seller to Buyer has become a final order no
         longer subject to judicial or administrative review (subject to waiver
         of such final order requirement in the sole discretion of Buyer),
         Seller will cause the 21% Stock to be transferred to Buyer in
         accordance with the provisions of the Stock Purchase and Option
         Agreement as described in Paragraph 4 below.

4.       The Stock Purchase and Option Agreement shall, among other terms
         customary in transactions of this nature, include the following terms:

         (a)     The purchase price for the 21% Stock shall be TWO HUNDRED
                 SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($270,000.00) in cash at Closing.

         (b)     The obligations of the parties to consummate the proposed
                 transfer of control of Seller shall be subject to receipt of
                 any required consents or authorizations and other conditions
                 usual and customary in transactions of this nature.

         (c)     Representations, warranties and covenants shall be set forth
                 relating to the 21% Stock

<PAGE>   4

                 that are usual and customary in transactions of this nature
                 and which shall survive the Closing for eighteen (18) months.
                 Each Seller shall represent and warrant that Buyer is the
                 owner of 70% of issued and outstanding common voting stock of
                 Western Michigan Family Broadcasting, Inc. and that William B.
                 Popjes owns the remaining 30%.

         (d)     Buyer and Seller shall enter into a Shareholders Agreement at
                 Closing that will contain customary language for transactions
                 of this nature including, without limitation, an agreement to
                 agree on all major corporate decisions such as capital
                 expenditures, budgets, etc. and a right of first refusal for
                 each party.

         (e)     Seller acknowledges that Buyer has a business relationship
                 with Paxson Communications Corporation ("Paxson") and that
                 Paxson will participate with Buyer in program production under
                 the Time Brokerage Agreement with Buyer retaining program time
                 between 10 pm and 7 am, Monday through Friday and Paxson
                 programming the remaining time.

5.       The parties shall in good faith endeavor to prepare and negotiate the
         Operating Agreements acceptable to each party in its discretion, as
         soon as possible but no later than October 25, 1995.  If these
         Operating Agreements are not executed by October 25, 1995, then the
         terms of this Letter of Intent shall expire without any liability to
         either Seller or Buyer.

6.       From the date of its execution of this letter until the sooner of (I)
         the execution of the Operating Agreements or (ii) the termination of
         the obligations of the parties hereunder, Seller shall not seek,
         transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of, with or without
         consideration, the CP or any Assets used or useful in or relating to
         the Station other than in the ordinary course of business.

7.       Buyer shall be afforded, from and after the date hereof, reasonable
         opportunity to inspect the Station and the books and records of the
         Seller.  Until such a time as the Operating Agreements may be executed
         which shall supersede this Letter of Intent, this proposal is
         contingent upon and subject to proper confirmation and verification by
         Buyer of the financial and other information made available to Buyer
         by the Seller, review of the Seller's corporate records and proposed
         operation of the Station and its technical facilities as may be
         requested by Buyer, all to the satisfaction of Buyer in its sole
         discretion.

8.       Buyer and Seller each agree that it will use its best efforts to keep
         confidential (except for such disclosure to attorneys, bankers,
         underwriters investors, etc. as may be appropriate in the furtherance
         of this transaction) all information of a confidential nature obtained
         by it from the other (including the terms of this proposal and the
         identity of Buyer) in connection with the transactions contemplated by
         this Letter of Intent, and in the event that such transactions are not
         consummated, will return to the other all documents and other
         materials obtained from the other in connection therewith.

9.       Buyer and Seller shall jointly prepare and determine the timing of,
         any press release, or other

<PAGE>   5

         announcement to the public following execution of the Operating
         Agreements.

10.      Seller agrees that until October 25, 1995 or earlier if the parties
         mutually determine that they are unable to enter into the Operating
         Agreements, it shall not offer or seek to offer, or entertain or
         discuss any offer, to sell the Station, or to transfer control of
         Seller, nor shall it permit its owners to offer, to seek to offer, or
         entertain or discuss any offer to sell, any interest in the Station or
         the Seller to third parties.

11.      Each party shall hold the other harmless from any liability for a
         brokerage commission based upon this transaction and Buyer shall be
         responsible for the brokerage Commission due to Communications Equity
         Associates.

12.      Except for paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 which shall be legally
         binding in accordance with their respective terms, neither this letter
         nor the acceptance hereof is intended to, and nor shall it create a
         binding legal obligation, and the understanding set forth herein is
         subject to the execution of the Operating Agreements.

13.      Buyer may with the written consent of the Seller which shall not be
         unreasonably withheld, assign its rights and obligations under this
         letter to another entity, upon which assignment Buyer's rights and
         obligations hereunder shall terminate.  Such other entity shall be the
         signatory to the Operating Agreements.

14.      This proposal shall expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time on
         September 29, 1995, unless earlier accepted by Seller.  Acceptance by
         Seller shall be evidenced by the signature of an authorized
         representative of Seller and Mr. Popjes on this Letter of Intent
         provided to Buyer prior to 5:00 P.M., September 29, 1995.

This letter may be signed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall
constitute one instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this
letter by signing any such counterpart.  This letter shall become effective
upon execution by all parties hereto.  Please indicate your acceptance of the
terms and conditions of this proposal by signing in the space provided below.

         final order no longer subject to judicial or administrative review
         (subject to waiver of such final order requirement in the sole

         (c)     Buyer will review and agree to consider assuming certain
                 existing contracts of Seller relating to the Station and the
                 assumed contracts shall be set forth in the Purchase
                 Agreement.

         (d)     The Purchase Price shall be subject to normal closing
                 prorations.

         (e)     The obligations of the parties to consummate the proposed

                 consents or authorizations and other conditions usual and
                 customary in transactions of this nature.

         (f)     Representations, warranties and covenants shall be set forth
                 relating to the Assets that are usual and customary in
                 transactions of this nature and which shall survive the
                 Closing for eighteen (18) months.

         (g)     Non-competition agreements shall be provided for, containing

                 broadcasting in any area served by the Station for a term of
                 three (3) years, and 2% of the total consideration shall be
                 attributable to the non-competition agreement.

         (h)     Buyer or Seller may terminate the Purchase Agreement without
                 penalty or liability (except in the event of a default of a
                 party) if for any reason the Closing thereunder has not taken
                 place by October 1, 1996.

         (i)     Buyer shall not be obligated to consummate the Purchase
                 Agreement if there is a material adverse change in the
                 Station's tangible properties during the period from the date
                 of the Purchase Agreement until Closing.

         (j)     Seller shall pay all federal, state and local sales or
                 transfer taxes arising from the conveyance of the Assets to
                 Buyer.

         the Purchase Agreement, (the "Deposit") pursuant to an Escrow Deposit
         Agreement, among the parties.  In the event that the Buyer wrongfully
         fails to close and Seller has fully complied with the terms of the
         Purchase Agreement, then only in that event Buyer shall forfeit the
         Deposit to Seller as liquidated damages and as the exclusive remedy of
         Seller against Buyer.

                                      -3-

4.       The parties shall in good faith endeavor to prepare and negotiate a
         Purchase Agreement acceptable to each party in its discretion, to be
         executed by Seller and a subsidiary of Buyer no later than October 31,
         1995.  If the Purchase Agreement is not executed by October 31, 1995,
         then the terms of this letter shall expire without any liability to
         either Seller or Buyer.

5.       From the date of its execution of this letter until the sooner of (i)
         the execution of a Purchase Agreement or (ii) the termination of the
         obligations of the parties hereunder, Seller shall not seek, transfer,
         convey or otherwise dispose of, with or without consideration, any
         assets used or useful in or relating to the Station other than in the
         ordinary course of business.

6.       Buyer shall be afforded, from and after the date hereof, reasonable
         opportunity to inspect the Stations and the books and records of the
         Seller.  Until such a time as a Purchase Agreement may be executed
         which shall supersede this letter, this proposal is contingent upon
         and subject to proper confirmation and verification by Buyer of the
         financial and other information made available to Buyer by the Seller,
         review of further financial or other information relating to the
         purchase of the Assets and operation of the Station as may be
         requested by Buyer, and inspection of the assets and technical
         facilities of the Station, all to the satisfaction of Buyer in its
         sole discretion.  Finally, by the date set forth in Paragraph 4 above
         for the execution of the Purchase Agreement, Seller shall supply to
         Buyer the information called for on Attachment I hereto relating to
         the Station.

7.       Buyer and Seller each agree that it will use its best efforts to keep
         confidential (except for disclosure requirements of federal or state
         securities laws and securities markets along with such disclosure to
         attorneys, bankers, underwriters investors, etc. as may be appropriate
         in the furtherance of this transaction) all information of a
         confidential nature obtained by it from the other (including the terms
         of this proposal and the identity of Buyer) in connection with the
         transactions contemplated by this letter, and in the event that such
         transactions are not consummated, will return to the other all
         documents and other materials obtained from the other in connection
         therewith.

8.       Buyer and Seller shall jointly prepare and determine the timing of,
         any press release, or other announcement to the public or the news
         media relating to the execution of this letter.  No party hereto will
         issue any press release or make any other public announcement relating
         to the transactions contemplated by this letter without the prior
         consent of each other party hereto, except that any party may make any
         disclosure required to be made by it under applicable law (including
         federal or state securities laws and the regulations of securities
         markets) if it determines in good faith that it is appropriate to do
         so and gives prior notice to each other party hereto.

9.       Seller agrees that until October 31, 1995 or earlier if the parties
         mutually determine that they are unable to enter into the Purchase
         Agreement, it shall not offer or seek to offer, or entertain or
         discuss any offer, to sell the Station, nor shall it permit its owners
         to offer, to

                                     -4-


         seek to offer, or entertain or discuss any offer to sell, any
         interest in the Station to third parties.

10.      Except for paragraphs 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and Paragraph 10 which shall be
         legally binding in accordance with their respective terms, neither
         this letter nor the acceptance hereof is intended to, and nor shall it
         create a binding legal obligation, and the understanding set forth
         herein is subject to the execution of the Purchase Agreement.

11.      Buyer may assign its rights and obligations under this letter to an
         affiliated entity, upon which assignment Buyer's rights and
         obligations hereunder shall terminate.  Such affiliated entity shall
         be the signatory to the Purchase Agreement.

12.      This proposal shall expire at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard Time on
         October 6, 1995, unless earlier accepted by Seller.  Acceptance by
         Seller shall be evidenced by the signatures of a duly authorized
         officer of Seller on this Letter of Intent provided to Buyer prior to
         5:00 P.M., October 6, 1995.

This letter may be signed in counterparts, all of which taken together shall
constitute one instrument, and any of the parties hereto may execute this
letter by signing any such counterpart.  This letter shall become effective
upon execution by all parties hereto.

Please indicate your acceptance of the terms and conditions of this proposal by
signing in the space provided below.

                        TAX EXEMPTION SAVINGS AGREEMENT


         THIS TAX EXEMPTION SAVINGS AGREEMENT is among Lowell W. Paxson
("Paxson"), Paxson Communications Corp. ("PCC"), and The Christian Network,
Inc., ("CNI") and is dated this 15th day of May, 1994.  Paxson, PCC, and CNI
are referred to individually as a "Party" and, collectively, as the "Parties."
References in this Agreement to affiliates of PCC include all persons over
which PCC has either voting control or owns a majority of the person's equity
interests.


                                   BACKGROUND

         CNI is a Florida not-for-profit corporation which has received a
favorable determination from the Internal Revenue Service that it is an
organization described in Section  501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of
1986, as amended (the "Code"), and is also classified as an organization,
consisting of a church or an association of churches, described in Section
509(a)(1) and Section  170(b)(1)(A)(i) of the Code.  One effect of these
determinations is that CNI is not a private foundation.

         Paxson has been a major motivational and financial force behind the
creation of CNI and his contributions have enabled CNI to carry on its exempt
purposes.  CNI has not had the financial wherewithal nor the expertise
necessary, without the assistance of Paxson and the entities affiliated with
PCC, to deliver its message to the public.  Without the support of Paxson,
CNI's activities would have been substantially curtailed and CNI may not have
been able to continue to exist.  As a result, CNI, PCC and its affiliates, and
Paxson have engaged in, and will engage in, various transactions involving
transfers of property, services, or cash between or among the Parties (the
"Transactions"), and the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to ensure
that inadvertent and unintentional effects or consequences of the Transactions
involving CNI will not jeopardize CNI's tax-exempt status.

                                  UNDERTAKINGS

         The Parties hereby agree as follows:

         1.      Purpose.  Paxson and PCC, on behalf of itself and each of its
affiliates, acknowledge that the maintenance by CNI of its federal income tax
exemption is fundamental to the purposes of the Parties to this Agreement and
to the purpose of each Transaction involving CNI.

         2.      Corrective Action.  If the Internal Revenue Service, a court,
or other body having regulatory control over CNI determines that any prior or
subsequent Transaction between or among Paxson, PCC and its affiliates, and CNI
(such Transaction is referred to herein as the "Identified Problem") results
(or would result unless corrected) in the imposition of a penalty on CNI or any
of its trustees, officers, directors or employees, or jeopardizes CNI's federal
income tax exemption, then the Parties agree to take whatever action (the
"Corrective Action")
<PAGE>   3
as is appropriate to avoid the imposition of any such penalty or loss of
federal tax exemption.  Corrective Action may include, but is not limited to, a
rescinding of any contract, restructuring of any agreement, or the transfer of
any property, money, or services if the effect of the action would cure the
Identified Problem.  To this end, the Parties agree that the Corrective Action
shall be that minimum action necessary to avoid the incurrence of the penalty
or loss of tax-exempt status, as the case may be, and which would still provide
the Transaction with substantial substantive effect if possible.

         3.      CNI's Liability.  CNI shall not be liable to Paxson, PCC, or
any of PCC's affiliates because of any act, or failure to act, by CNI if CNI
determines the act or omission might jeopardize its federal income tax
exemption, nor shall CNI be liable for any loss, damages, or expenses incurred
by Paxson, PCC, or PCC's affiliates in complying with the terms of this
Agreement, or otherwise.

         4.      Termination or Amendment.  Any provision included in any
contract or agreement pertaining to any Transaction shall be void and
unenforceable if it is subsequently determined that compliance with such
provision is reasonably certain to jeopardize CNI's federal income tax
exemption.  In the event Paxson or PCC determines that a provision rendered
void by the preceding sentence was material to his or its purposes for entering
into the Transaction, then Paxson or PCC may either (i) immediately terminate
the contract or agreement governing the Transaction, or (ii) obtain the
approval of the other Parties to amend the contract or agreement governing the
Transaction if the amendment is not likely to jeopardize CNI's federal income
tax exemption.  CNI's determination that a particular act or omission (or the
inclusion of a particular provision in the contract or agreement pertaining to
a Transaction) may reasonably jeopardize its federal income tax exemption shall
be conclusive and binding upon Paxson and PCC.

         5.      Costs.  Any costs incurred by CNI in connection with this
Agreement, including, but not limited to, costs of obtaining legal opinion,
appraisals or evidence necessary to support the position that a Transaction
does not give rise to an Identified Problem, and attorneys' fees in any action
arising out of, or matters contemplated by, this Agreement shall be paid by
Paxson.

         6.      Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be governed by the laws
of the state of Florida as to all matters, including but not limited to,
matters of validity, construction, effect, performance, and remedies.

         7.      Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement or the
application thereof to any person or circumstance is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable to any extent, the remainder of this Agreement, and the
application of any such provision to the other persons or circumstances, shall
not be affected thereby and shall be enforced to the greatest extent permitted
by law.
