                         ------------------------
           NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
           ----------------------------------------------------

1.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of BHC Communications, Inc. and its subsidiaries. 
BHC, a majority owned (79.96% at March 31, 1999) subsidiary of Chris-
Craft Industries, Inc., operates nine television stations, three
wholly owned and six owned by United Television, Inc. (UTV), 58.5%
owned by BHC at March 31, 1999.  The interest of UTV shareholders
other than BHC in the net income and net assets of UTV is set forth as
minority interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of income and condensed consolidated balance sheets,
respectively.  Intercompany accounts and transactions have been
eliminated.

     The financial information included herein has been prepared by
BHC, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote
disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  However,
BHC believes that the disclosures herein are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading.  It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction
with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in BHC's
latest annual report on Form 10-K.  The information furnished reflects
all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments)
which are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair
statement of the results for the interim periods.  The results for
these interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for the full year, due to seasonal factors, among others.

2.   MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

     All of BHC's marketable securities have been categorized as
available-for-sale and are carried at fair market value.  Since
marketable securities are available for current operations, all are
included in current assets.

     At March 31, 1999, BHC's marketable securities, which consisted
substantially of U.S. Government securities, had a cost of
$1,151,779,000 and a fair value of $1,189,399,000.  The difference of
$37,620,000 ($23,134,000, net of income taxes and minority interest)
is reflected as an increase to shareholders' investment in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.  Of the investments
in U.S. Government securities, all mature within one year.

     At December 31, 1998, BHC's marketable securities, which
consisted substantially of U.S. Government securities, had a cost of
$1,168,414,000 and a fair value of $1,202,070,000.  The difference of
$33,656,000 ($20,126,000, net of income taxes and minority interest)
is reflected as an increase to shareholders' investment in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet.

3.   UNITED PARAMOUNT NETWORK:

     In July 1994, BHC, along with Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Television
Group, formed the United Paramount Network, a broadcast television
network which premiered in January 1995.  BHC owned 100% of UPN from
its inception through January 15, 1997, when Viacom completed the
exercise of its option to acquire a 50% interest in UPN.  BHC and
Viacom now share equally in UPN funding requirements and in UPN
losses.

     UPN has been organized as a partnership, and BHC accounts for its
partnership interest under the equity method.  The carrying value of
such interest totalled $3,590,000 at March 31, 1999 and $615,000 at
December 31, 1998, and is included in Investments in the accompanying
condensed consolidated balance sheets.  UPN is still in its
development and is expected to continue to incur significant start-up
losses and to require significant funding for the next several years.

     UPN's condensed statements of operations are as follows (in
thousands):

4.   SHAREHOLDERS' INVESTMENT:

     As of March 31, 1999, there were outstanding 18,000,000 shares of
Class B common stock, all held by Chris-Craft, and 4,511,605 shares of
Class A common stock.  At March 31, 1999, 185,497 shares of Class A
common stock remain authorized for purchase.  In January 1999, BHC's
Board of Directors declared a special cash dividend of $1.00 per share
on BHC's Class A and Class B common stock.  The dividend, totalling
$22.5 million, was paid in February 1999.

     Capital transactions of subsidiary, as set forth in the
accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, reflect
purchases by UTV of its common shares totalling $7,010,000 in the
first three months of 1998, and proceeds to UTV of $395,000 and
$2,009,000 in the first three months of 1999 and 1998, respectively,
from the exercise of stock options.

5.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

     Effective January 1, 1998, BHC adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive Income."  Other
comprehensive income includes only unrealized gains and losses on
marketable securities classified as available-for-sale (see Note 2),
net of a reclassification adjustment for gains (losses) included in
net income.  Comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):

6.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES:

     Commitments of BHC's television stations for film contracts
entered into but not available for broadcasting at March 31, 1999
aggregated approximately $352.1 million, including $94.9 million
applicable to UTV.  BHC also has a remaining commitment to invest over
time up to $25.2 million, of which $14.8 million is to be invested in
management buyout limited partnerships, including $11.0 million
applicable to UTV.

     BHC expects to make significant expenditures developing UPN.  See 
Note 3.

     In 1997, UTV signed a definitive agreement to purchase the assets
of UHF television station WRBW in Orlando, Florida, for approximately
$60 million and possible future consideration.  The acquisition is
subject to FCC approval and other conditions in the agreement.

     In April 1999, a jury awarded damages totalling $7.3 million to a
former WWOR employee who filed suit alleging discrimination by the
station.  The station and its counsel believe the award to be
unjustified, and intend to appeal.  The judgement is not yet final,
and it is not possible to reasonably estimate the amount, if any,
which ultimately will be paid.  Accordingly, no amount has been
reserved in BHC's financial statements relating to this matter.

8.   SEGMENT REPORTING:

     BHC has one reportable segment, the Television Division, which is
reported in the consolidated financial statements.  UPN, which is
accounted for on the equity method, is also considered a reportable
segment under SFAS 131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise
and Related Information."  However, all required segment information
is included in Note 3.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
        -------------------------------------------------
        CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
        -----------------------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
-------------------------------

     BHC's financial position continues to be strong and highly
liquid.  Cash and marketable securities totalled $1.39 billion at
March 31, 1999, and BHC has no debt outstanding.  BHC has expended
significant funds developing United Paramount Network since UPN's
inception in 1994, but cash flow provided from BHC's operating
activities has exceeded such BHC funding of UPN. 

     BHC's operating cash flow is generated primarily by its core
television station group.  Broadcast cash flow reflects station
operating income plus depreciation and film contract amortization less
film contract payments.  The relationship between film contract
payments and related amortization may vary greatly between periods
(payments exceeded amortization by $2.2 million in the three month
period ended March 31,1999 and by $4.3 million in the corresponding
1998 period), and is dependent upon the mix of programs aired and
payment terms of the stations' contracts.  Reflecting such amounts,
broadcast cash flow in the first quarter of 1999 increased 47%, while
station earnings increased 32%, as explained below.  Although
broadcast cash flow is often used in the broadcast television industry
as an ancillary measure, it is not synonymous with operating cash flow
computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles,
and should not be considered alone or as a substitute for measures of
performance computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles.

     BHC's operating cash flow additionally reflects earnings
associated with its cash and marketable securities, which balances
declined just slightly, to $1.39 billion at March 31, 1999, from $1.40
billion at December 31, 1998.  Such decline was incurred despite first
quarter operating cash flow of $42.3 million, primarily due to UPN
funding and the payment of a special dividend.

     A special $1.00 per share cash dividend, aggregating $22.5
million, was paid in February 1999.  Similar dividends were paid in
February 1998 and February 1997.  BHC plans to consider annually the
payment of a special dividend.

     Since April 1990, BHC's Board of Directors has authorized the
purchase of up to 7,081,087 Class A common shares.  Through March 31,
1999, 6,895,590 shares were purchased, including 226,503 shares in
1998 from United Television, Inc., BHC's 58.5% owned subsidiary, for a
total cost of $516.5 million.  From January 1, 1997 through March 31,
1999, UTV expended $9.8 million acquiring its own common shares, and
729,649 UTV shares remained authorized for purchase at that date.  No
such shares were acquired by BHC or UTV during the first quarter of
1999.

     In January 1998, UTV purchased the assets of UHF television
station WHSW, Channel 24, in Baltimore, Maryland for $80.3 million in
cash.  The station's call letters were changed to WUTB and the station
became a UPN affiliate.  UTV has signed a definitive agreement to
purchase the assets of WRBW in Orlando, Florida, for approximately
$60 million and possible future consideration.  UTV expects to use a
portion of available cash and marketable securities balances to
complete this transaction, which is subject to Federal Communications
Commission approval, as well as satisfaction of certain conditions.

     BHC intends to further expand its operations in the media,
entertainment and communications industries and to explore business
opportunities in other industries.  BHC believes it is capable of
raising significant additional capital to augment its already
substantial financial resources, if desired, to fund such additional
expansion.

     In July 1994, BHC, along with Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Television
Group, formed UPN, a broadcast television network which premiered in
January 1995.  BHC owned 100% of UPN from its inception through
January 15, 1997, when Viacom completed the exercise of its option to
acquire a 50% interest in UPN.  BHC and Viacom now share equally in
UPN losses and funding requirements.  UPN, still in its development,
incurred start-up losses of $177.2 million in 1998, $170.2 million in
1997, $146.3 million in 1996 and $129.3 million in 1995, and is
expected for the next several years to continue to incur substantial
start-up losses and to require significant funding.  BHC funding of
UPN totalled $33.1 million in the first quarter of 1999.

     BHC's television stations make commitments for programming that
will not be available for telecasting until future dates.  At March
31, 1999, commitments for such programming totalled approximately
$352.1 million, including $94.9 million applicable to UTV.  BHC also
has a remaining commitment to invest over time up to $25.2 million, of
which $14.8 million is to be invested in management buyout limited
partnerships, including $11.0 million applicable to UTV.  BHC capital
expenditures generally have not been material in relation to its
financial position, and the related capital expenditure commitments at
March 31, 1999 (including any related to UPN) were not material. 
During 1998, BHC stations began converting to digital television
(DTV).  In April 1999, KBHK in San Francisco became the first of the
BHC stations to make the initial conversion to DTV signal
transmission.  The conversion will require the purchase of digital
transmitting equipment to telecast over newly assigned frequencies. 
This conversion is expected to take a number of years and will be
subject to competitive market conditions.  BHC expects that its
expenditures for UPN, future film contract commitments and capital
requirements for its present business, including the cost to convert
to DTV, will be satisfied primarily from operations, marketable
securities or cash balances.

     BHC, which completed an assessment of its year 2000 issues in
1998, believes that the total estimated compliance cost is immaterial. 
BHC expects to have completed all remediation efforts, including third
party systems testing, by September 30, 1999.  BHC continues to
believe that such issues will not have a material effect on its
business, results of operations or financial condition.




Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
----------------------------------------------------------

     BHC is subject to certain market risk relating to its marketable
securities holdings, which are all held for other than trading
purposes.  The table below provides information as of March 31, 1999
about the U.S. Government securities which are subject to interest
rate sensitivity and the equity securities which are subject to equity
market sensitivity.

(in thousands)
                                      Cost               Fair Value

  Equity securities                $    73,214           $   110,292


Results of Operations
---------------------

    BHC net income in the first quarter of 1999 declined to
$1,980,000, or $.09 per share ($.09 per share diluted), from net
income in last year's first quarter of $5,998,000, or $.26 per
share($.26 per share diluted).  The decline in net income primarily
reflects an increase in BHC's 50% share of UPN's first quarter loss,
which was only partially offset by an increase in operating income.

     Operating income increased 51%, to $20,231,000 from $13,387,000,
as earnings at BHC's core television station group rose 32%, to
$26,699,000 from last year's $20,224,000.  Approximately $4.3 million
of  the station earnings increase reflects copyright royalties paid to
BHC's New York station, WWOR, for prior years, when certain of its
programming was carried on distant cable systems. In addition, station
expense associated with stock price based retirement plans declined
approximately $1.3 million from last year's first quarter.  Adjusting
for these two items, station earnings increased 4% from last year's
period.  Station operating revenues rose 7%, to $104,423,000 from
$97,624,000.  Excluding the royalty payment, station operating
revenues rose 3%.  
 
     UPN's first quarter loss widened substantially from last year's,
primarily reflecting the expansion of the network's prime time
schedule to five weekday evenings from three in last year's first
quarter.  BHC's 50% share of such loss totalled $30,150,000, compared
to last year's $19,910,000.  UPN is still in its development and is
expected for the next several years to continue to record substantial
start-up losses.

     Interest and other income totalled $18,746,000, compared to
$20,054,000 recorded in last year's first quarter.  This income
consists mostly of amounts earned on BHC's substantial cash and
marketable securities holdings. Such earnings declined from last
year's first quarter primarily due to lower interest rates.

     BHC's effective income tax rate rose to 39.7% from 36.2% in the
first quarter of 1998, primarily reflecting the realization in 1998 of
certain income tax benefits.

     Minority interest reflects the interest of shareholders other
than BHC in the net income of UTV, 58.5% owned by BHC at March 31,
1999 and 58.7% owned by BHC at March 31, 1998.

     Weighted average common shares outstanding in the first quarter
declined to 22,512,000 from 22,800,000 last year, reflecting purchases
last year by BHC of its Class A common shares.


ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
        ----------------------------------------------------------

     The information appearing in Management's Discussion and Analysis

Market Risk" is incorporated herein by this reference.

                     PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.        Legal Proceedings.
               ------------------

     BHC reported that on April 6, 1999 a Superior Court jury in
Bergen County, New Jersey returned a verdict in favor of a former
employee at WWOR-TV in a lawsuit alleging discrimination by the
station.  WWOR-TV, Inc. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BHC.  The jury
awarded a total of $7.3 million in compensatory and punitive damages. 
Pending post-trial motions, the jury award has not yet been entered as
a final judgement by the trial judge.  The station and its counsel
believe the award was not justified by either the evidence or the law,
and intend to appeal.  As the judgement is not yet final, and the
amount, if any, ultimately to be paid cannot be reasonably estimated,
no provision for an amount in excess of insurance coverage has been
made in the accompanying financial statements for the period ended
March 31, 1999.
