1.   FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     The December 31, 1996 condensed consolidated balance sheet data was
     derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all
     disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.  The
     financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company,
     without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.  Although 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, the Company
     believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
     presented not misleading and reflect all adjustments (consisting only of
     normal recurring adjustments) which are necessary for a fair presentation
     of results of operations for such periods.  Results for interim periods
     may not be indicative of results for the full year.  It is suggested that
     these financial statements be read in conjunction with the consolidated
     financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the notes
     thereto.

2.   ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS, Continued

     Completed Broadcasting Services Acquisitions
     
     In April 1997, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets
     relating to the broadcast distribution and related print and electronic
     media publishing businesses of Radio-Active Media (formerly EFM Media
     Management), for $50.0 million in cash.
     
     In April 1997, Jacor purchased the assets of NSN Network Services, a
     leading provider of satellite and network services for the radio
     broadcasting industry, for $11.0 million, consisting of approximately $9.3
     million in cash and 59,540 shares of Jacor common stock, valued at $1.7
     million.
     
     Also in April 1997, the Company acquired the assets of Airwatch
     Communications, Inc. and Airtraffic Communications, Inc. for $18.0 million
     in cash.
     
     In June 1997, the Company acquired all the outstanding common stock of
     Premiere Radio Networks, Inc. for  approximately $190.1 million,
     consisting of approximately 1.42 million shares of Jacor common stock
     valued at $51.0 million and cash of approximately $139.2 million.
     
     All of the above acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases.  The
     excess cost over the fair value of net assets acquired is being amortized
     over 40 years.  The results of operations of the acquired businesses are
     included in the Company's financial statements since the respective dates
     of acquisition.  Assuming the first six months acquisitions in 1997 and
     all of the 1996 acquisitions had taken place at the beginning of 1996,
     unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations would have been as
     follows (in thousands except per share amounts):

     broadcast areas for a total purchase price of $64.1 million, of which
     $24.5 million has already been paid in escrow.
     
     In addition, the Company entered into agreements to sell the FCC licenses
     and substantially all of the broadcast assets of four radio stations in
     three broadcast areas for total gross proceeds of $23.0 million.

3.   ISSUANCE OF COMMON STOCK

     In May 1997, the Company completed an offering of 6,650,000 shares of
     common stock at $31.00 per share net of underwriting discounts of $1.31
     per share (the "Offering").  The over-allotment option was also exercised
     by the underwriters resulting in the issuance of an additional 997,500
     shares.  Net proceeds to the Company from the Offering were approximately
     $227.0 million.  Concurrently with the Offering, the Company issued
     673,628 shares of common stock for $20.0 million to affiliated designees
     of the Company's largest shareholder, The Zell/Chilmark Fund L.P.
     
     
4.   ISSUANCE OF SUBORDINATED NOTES

     In June 1997, the Company issued $150.0 million of 8 _% Senior
     Subordinated Notes (the "Notes") in a private placement offering.  In
     connection with the Notes Offering the Company entered into a registration
     rights agreement, which will require the Company within 180 days to
     exchange the Notes for identical notes registered with the Securities and
     Exchange Commission.  Net proceeds to the Company were $147.0 million.
     The Notes will mature on June 15, 2007.  Interest on the Notes is payable
     semi-annually.  The Notes will be redeemable at the option of the Company,
     in whole or in part, at any time on or after June 15, 2002.  The
     redemption prices commence at 104.375% and are reduced by 1.458% annually
     until June 15, 2005 when the redemption price is 100%.
     
     The Notes are general, unsecured obligations of the Company subordinated
     in right of payment to all senior debt of the Company including the Credit
     Facility.  The Notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally
     guaranteed on a senior subordinated basis by Jacor and substantially all
     subsidiaries of Jacor (the "Subsidiary Guarantors").  JCC and each of the
     Subsidiary Guarantors are wholly owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of
     Jacor.  Separate financial statements of JCC and each of the Subsidiary
     Guarantors are not presented because Jacor believes that such information
     would not be material to investors.
     
     The indenture contains certain covenants which impose certain limitations
     and restrictions on the ability of the Company to incur additional
     indebtedness, pay dividends or make other distributions, make certain
     loans and investments, apply the proceeds of asset sales (and use the
     proceeds thereof), create liens, enter into certain transactions with
     affiliates, merge, consolidate or transfer substantially all its assets
     and make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries.

5.   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
     of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings Per Share".  The
     Company will implement the Statement in the fourth quarter 1997.  Diluted
     Earnings Per Share, as defined by the Statement, is expected to
     approximate the Company's fully diluted Earnings Per Share, as currently
     calculated.  The Company will also be required to present basic earnings
     per share, which will be calculated using the weighted average shares of
     common stock outstanding for the reporting period without giving effect to
     outstanding options, warrants or other potentially dilutive securities.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
Results of Operations.

GENERAL

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements beginning on page 3.

In the following analysis, management discusses station operating income
excluding depreciation and amortization.  Station operating income excluding
depreciation and amortization should not be considered in isolation from, or as
a substitute for, operating income, net income or cash flow and other
consolidated income or cash flow statement data computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of the Company's
profitability or liquidity.  Although this measure of performance is not
calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, it is
widely used in the broadcasting industry as a measure of a company's operating
performance because it assists in comparing station performance on a consistent
basis across companies without regard to depreciation and amortization, which
can vary significantly depending on accounting methods (particularly where
acquisitions are involved) or non-operating factors such as historical cost
bases.  Station operating income excluding depreciation and amortization also
excludes the effect of corporate general and administrative expenses, which
generally do not relate directly to station performance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Completed Acquisitions and Dispositions

In the first six months of 1997, the Company completed acquisitions of: 60
radio stations in 20 different broadcast areas; substantially all of the assets
relating to the broadcast distribution and related print and electronic media
publishing businesses of Radio-Active Media; the assets of NSN Network
Services, a leading provider of satellite and network services for the radio
broadcasting industry; the assets of Airwatch Communications, Inc. and
Airtraffic Communications, Inc., and; all the outstanding common stock of
Premiere Radio Networks, Inc.  These acquisitions required cash consideration
in the aggregate of approximately $456.0 million excluding approximately $29.8
million which was placed in escrow in 1996.  The acquisitions were funded
through: (i) net proceeds of $247.1 million from a common stock offering, (ii)
net proceeds of $147.0 million from the issuance of 8 3/4% notes, (iii)
borrowings under the Credit Facility, and (iv) proceeds of approximately $89.8
million from the sale of certain investments and a radio station.
Additionally, the Company reduced the Credit Facility by $49.2 million with
excess cash on hand.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES, Continued

Recently Completed Acquisitions and Dispositions Subsequent to
June 30, 1997

In July 1997, and through August 11, 1997, the Company completed acquisitions
of 9 radio stations in 4 broadcast areas for aggregate cash consideration of
approximately $65.3 million, of which approximately $1.2 million was placed in
escrow in 1996.  The acquisitions were funded primarily from borrowings under
the Credit Facility.

Pending Acquisitions and Dispositions

The Company has also entered into agreements to purchase FCC licenses and
substantially all of the broadcast assets of 25 stations in twelve broadcast
areas for a total purchase price of $64.1 million, of which $24.5 million has
already been paid in escrow.

In addition the Company entered into an agreement to sell the FCC licenses and
substantially all of the broadcast assets of four radio stations in three
broadcast areas for total gross proceeds of $23.0 million.

Pending Acquisition Financing

As of August 11, 1997, the Company had $406.8 million of outstanding
indebtedness under the Credit Facility, which includes all borrowings used to
fund the recently completed transactions, and available borrowings of $320.0
million.  The Company will finance the pending acquisitions utilizing available
borrowings under the Credit Facility.  The Company estimates, after completion
of all the pending acquisitions and dispositions, outstanding borrowings under
the Credit Facility will be approximately $423.4 million.  The Company believes
that various additional sources are also available to fund future acquisitions.
Such sources include the issuance of additional equity and or debt securities
of the Company.

Credit Facilities and Other

In February 1997, the Credit Facility was amended resulting in expanded
availability of up to $750.0 million.  The Credit Facility provides loans to
Jacor in three components: (i) a reducing revolving credit facility of up to
$450.0 million under which the aggregate commitments would reduce on a semi-
annual basis commencing in June 1999; (ii) a $200.0 million amortizing term
loan that would reduce on a semi-annual basis commencing in December 1997, of
which $15.5 million was paid down in June 1997; and (iii) a $100.0 million
amortizing term loan that would reduce on a semi-annual basis commencing in
December 1998, of which $7.7 million was paid down in June 1997.  As of August
1, 1997, the average interest rate on Credit Facility borrowings was 7.75%.

In June 1997, Jacor entered into negotiations to expand the availability under
the Credit Facility from $750.0 million up to $1.15 billion.  There can be no
assurance that availability under the Credit Facility will be increased.

The issuance of additional debt would negatively impact the Company's debt-to-
equity ratio and its results of operations and cash flows due to higher amounts
of interest expense.  Any issuance of additional equity would soften this
impact to some extent.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Six Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Six Months Ended June 30,
1996

Broadcast revenue for the first six months of 1997 was $252.0 million, an
increase of $170.0 million or 207.3% from $82.0 million during the first six
months of 1996.  This increase resulted primarily from the revenue generated at
those properties owned or operated during the first six months of 1997 but not
during the comparable 1996 period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting
results from stations operated in the first six months of both 1997 and 1996 -
broadcast revenue for 1997 was $80.3 million, an increase of $9.3 million or
13.1% from $71.0 million for 1996.  This increase resulted from an increase in
advertising rates in both local and national advertising.

Agency commissions for the first six months of 1997 were $27.6 million, an
increase of $18.8 million or 213.6% from $8.8 million during the first quarter
of 1996 due to the increase in broadcast revenue.

Broadcast operating expenses for the first six months of 1997 were $157.8
million, an increase of $104.4 million or 195.5% from $53.4 million during the
first six months of 1996.  These expenses increased primarily as a result of
expenses incurred at those properties owned or operated during the first six
months of 1997 but not during the comparable 1996 period.  On a "same station"
basis, broadcast operating expenses for the first six months of 1997 were $51.0
million, an increase of $4.8 million or 10.4% from $46.2 million for the first
six months of 1996.  This increase resulted from increased selling, payroll and
programming costs.

Depreciation and amortization for the first six months of 1997 and 1996 was
$31.2 million and $5.4 million, respectively.  This increase was due primarily
to increased amortization expenses resulting from acquisitions in 1996 and the
first six months of 1997.

Operating income for the first six months of 1997 was $29.6 million, an
increase of $17.7 million or 148.7% from an operating income of $11.9 million
for the first six months of 1996.

Interest expense in the first six months of 1997 was $39.4 million, an increase
of $32.8 from $6.6 million in the first six months of 1996.  Interest expense
increased due to an increase in outstanding debt that was incurred in
connection with acquisitions.

The gain on the sale of assets in 1997 resulted from the sale of the Company's
investment in News Corp. Warrants in February 1997 and in Paxson Communications
Corporation ("Paxson") stock in May, 1997.  The gain on the sale of assets in
1996 resulted from the sale of two FM radio stations in Knoxville.

Income tax expense was $2.2 million for the first six months of 1997 and income
tax expense for the first six months of 1996 was $3.8 million.  The effective
tax rate increased in the first six months of 1997 due to an increase in non-
deductible goodwill resulting from acquisitions.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS, Continued

In the first six months of 1997 the Company recognized an extraordinary loss of
approximately $5.6 million related to the write off of debt financing costs.
Also, in the first six months of 1996, the Company recognized an extraordinary
loss of approximately $1.0 million related to the write off of debt financing
costs.

income of $4.7 million reported by the Company for the first six months of
1996.

The Three Months Ended June 30, 1997 Compared to the Three Months Ended
June 30, 1996

Broadcast revenue for the second quarter of 1997 was $151.8 million, an
increase of $103.3 million or 213.0% from $48.5 million during the second
quarter of 1996.  This increase resulted primarily from the revenue generated
at those properties owned or operated during the second quarter of 1997 but not
during the comparable 1996 period.  On a "same station" basis - reflecting
results from stations operated in the second quarter of both 1997 and 1996 -
broadcast revenue for 1997 was $44.8 million, an increase of $4.6 million or
11.4% from $40.2 million for 1996.  This increase resulted from an increase in
advertising rates in both local and national advertising.

Agency commissions for the second quarter of 1997 were $16.3 million, an
increase of $11.0 million or 207.5% from $5.3 million during the second quarter
of 1996 due to the increase in broadcast revenue.

Broadcast operating expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were $90.5 million,
an increase of $60.9 million or 205.7% from $29.6 million during the second
quarter of 1996.  These expenses increased primarily as a result of expenses
incurred at those properties owned or operated during the second quarter of
1997 but not during the comparable 1996 period.  On a "same station" basis,
broadcast operating expenses for the second quarter of 1997 were $26.7 million,
an increase of $2.2 million or 9.0% from $24.5 million for the second quarter
of 1996.  This increase resulted from increased selling, payroll and
programming costs.

Depreciation and amortization for the second quarter of 1997 and 1996 was $17.8
million and $2.9 million, respectively.  This increase was due to the
acquisitions in 1996 and the first two quarters of 1997.

Operating income for the second quarter of 1997 was $24.2 million, an increase
of $14.8 million or 157.4% from an operating income of $9.4 million for the
second quarter of 1996.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 1997 was $22.2 million, an increase
of $17.9 million from $4.3 million in the second quarter of 1996.  Interest
expense increased due to an increase in outstanding debt that was incurred in
connection with acquisitions.

tax expense for the second quarter of 1996 was $2.6 million.  The effective tax

Item 2.  Changes in Securities

(c)  On April 7, 1997, the Company issued 59,540 shares of its common stock in
connection with its purchase of the assets of NSN Network Services (NSN).  Such
shares were issued to the owners of NSN in reliance upon the exemption from
registration provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as
amended.  The Company believes that such exemption was available based on the
private nature of the transaction negotiated between the Company and the owners
of NSN, the absence of any general solicitation, the limited nature of the
direct offering and the lack of involvement by underwriters and/or placement
agents, and the small number of persons who received the shares.  The Company
valued the shares issued at approximately $1.7 million at the time of issuance.
In addition to the shares issued, the Company also paid cash for the acquired
assets in the amount of approximately $9.3 million.
