SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application To Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (The Ackerley Group, Inc., Common Stock, $.01 Par 
Value) File No. 1-10321

December 15, 1997.
    The Ackerley Group, Inc. (``Company'') has filed an application 
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (``Commission''), pursuant 
to Section 12(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (``Act'') and 
Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw the above specified 
security (``Security'') from listing and registration on the American 
Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or ``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    Pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form 8-A that became 
effective on December 3, 1997, the Company's Security will be listed 
for trading on the New York Stock Exchange (``NYSE''). The Company has 
represented that trading in its Security is scheduled to commence on 
the NYSE at the opening of business on December 15, 1997.
    The Company has complied with Amex Rule 18 by filing with the 
Exchange a certified copy of the resolutions adopted by the Company's 
Board of Directors authorizing the withdrawal of the Security from 
listing and registration on the Amex, and by setting forth in detail 
the reasons and facts supporting the proposed withdrawal.
    In making the decision to withdraw its Security from listing and 
registration on the Amex, the Company sought to facilitate and promote 
trading in its Security, and to enhance the Company's visibility and 
profile in the capital markets. The Company believes this action is 
consistent with other changes effected by the Company in recent months, 
including the changing of the Company's name and the corporate and 
trade names of various of its subsidiaries, as well as the realignment 
of its internal operating subdivisions.
    By letter dated November 22, 1997, the Amex informed the Company 
that it had no objection to the withdrawal of the Company's Security 
from listing and registration on the Amex.
    By reason of Section 12(b) of the Act and the rules thereunder, the 
Company shall continue to be obligated to file reports with the 
Commission and the NYSE under Section 13 of the Act.
    Any interested person may, on or before January 9, 1998, submit by 
letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 450 
Fifth Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission 
for the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the 
information submitted to it, will issue an order granting the 
application after the date mentioned above, unless the Commission 
determines to order a hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
