ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS.

         (b)     PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION

         The following unaudited pro forma financial information (the "Pro
Forma Financial Information") is based on the historical financial statements
of Commodore Media, Inc. ("Commodore") and Southern Star Communications, Inc.
(formerly named Osborn Communications Corporation ("Osborn")) and have been
prepared to illustrate the effects of Commodore's acquisition of Osborn (the
"Osborn Acquisition") and the related financing thereof.  The Pro Forma
Financial Information and accompanying notes should be read in conjunction with
the financial statements of Commodore and Osborn.

         The pro forma condensed statement of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1996 gives effect to the Osborn Acquisition and the related
financing as if each such transaction had occurred on January 1, 1996.  The pro
forma balance sheet as of December 31, 1996 has been prepared as if the
acquisitions and the financing thereof had occurred on that date.  The Pro
Forma Financial Information is not necessarily indicative of either future
results of operations or the results that might have occurred if the foregoing
transactions had been consummated on the indicated dates.

         The Osborn Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting.  The total purchase costs of the acquisitions will be allocated to
the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired based upon their
respective fair values.  The allocation of the aggregate purchase price
reflected in the Pro Forma Financial Information is preliminary.  The final
allocation of the purchase price is contingent upon management's final
estimates of the fair value of the acquired assets; however, such allocation is
not expected to differ materially from the preliminary allocation.

         As used in the Pro Forma Financial Information, "JSA" refers to a
joint sales agreement, whereby a station licensee obtains, for a fee, the right
to sell substantially all of the commercial advertising on a separately-owned
and licensed station.  JSAs take varying forms.  A JSA, unlike an LMA (as
defined), normally does not involve programming.  "LMA" refers to a local
marketing agreement, whereby a radio station outsources the management of
certain limited functions of its operations.  LMAs take varying forms; however,
the FCC requires that, in all cases, the licensee maintain independent control
over the programming and operations of the station.

(A)      The adjustment gives effect to the historical operating results and
         LMA and JSA revenue and expense of the acquisitions in the following
         markets which were consummated by Commodore during the pro forma
         period:  Ft. Pierce -- Vero Beach -- Stuart, Florida; Huntington,
         West Virginia -- Ashland, Kentucky; and Stamford -- Norwalk,
         Connecticut.

(B)      The adjustment gives effect to the historical operating results and
         LMA and JSA revenue and expense of the acquisitions in Wheeling, West
         Virginia which were consummated by Osborn during the pro forma period.
         The adjustment also gives effect to the historical operating results
         and LMA and JSA revenue and expense of the dispositions in the
         following markets which were consummated by Osborn during the pro
         forma period: Jacksonville, Florida; Syracuse, New York; Atlantic
         City, New Jersey; Daytona Beach, Florida; Raleigh, North Carolina; and
         Fresno, California.

(C)      The adjustment reflects (i) a change in depreciation and amortization
         resulting from conforming the estimated useful lives of the acquired
         stations and (ii) the additional depreciation and amortization expense
         resulting from the allocation of the purchase price of the acquired
         stations including an increase in property and equipment and
         intangible assets to their estimated fair market value and the
         recording of goodwill associated with the acquisitions.  Goodwill and
         FCC licenses are being amortized over 40 years.

(D)      The adjustment reflects interest expense associated with (i)
         Commodore's 13 1/4% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Commodore
         Notes"), (ii) the amortization of deferred financing fees associated
         with the Commodore Notes and (iii) elimination of interest expense on
         Commodore's senior secured credit facility (the "AT&T Facility") made
         available by AT&T Commercial Finance Corporation to Atlantic Star
         Communications, Inc.  (formerly named Commodore Holdings, Inc.), a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of Commodore, and the outstanding debt of
         Osborn under Osborn's revolving loan facility made available by
         KeyBank National Association (the "Osborn Facility"), both repaid in
         connection with the Osborn Acquisition.  Deferred financing fees are
         amortized over the term of the related debt.
