EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS

   Dinetz Employment Agreement

      Mr. Dinetz has entered into a new employment agreement with Chancellor and
Chancellor Radio Broadcasting pursuant to which he serves as President and Chief
Executive Officer of Chancellor and Chancellor Radio Broadcasting. The new
employment agreement is currently scheduled to expire on December 31, 2000,
unless earlier terminated, and provides for a base salary of $500,000 per year
plus an annual bonus of up to $200,000 based on performance criteria established
by Chancellor's Board of Directors at the beginning of each fiscal year. Each
December 31 during the term of the employment agreement, Mr. Dinetz's base
salary for the next succeeding year shall be adjusted based upon the Consumer
Price Index, provided that his annual base salary shall never be less than
$500,000. Unless either party gives written notice to the contrary prior to
December 31 of each year the employment agreement is in effect the employment
agreement will automatically be extended for an additional year so that, as of
each December 31, the remaining term of the employment agreement will be five
years. The employment agreement also provides for participation by Mr. Dinetz in
all benefit programs maintained by Chancellor or its subsidiaries and provides
for certain life, health and disability insurance coverage for Mr. Dinetz.

      The employment agreement may be terminated by Chancellor and Chancellor
Radio Broadcasting at any time prior to the completion of the five year stated
term. If Chancellor and Chancellor Radio Broadcasting terminate Mr. Dinetz's
employment agreement other than for cause (as defined), or if Mr. Dinetz
voluntarily terminates the employment agreement for good reason (as defined),
Chancellor and Chancellor Radio Broadcasting must pay Mr. Dinetz severance
compensation equal to two years of Mr. Dinetz's base salary; provided, however,
that if the decision to terminate the employment agreement results from the
failure of Chancellor or Chancellor Radio Broadcasting to meet certain specified
financial performance criteria, Mr. Dinetz will be entitled to receive severance
compensation equal to one year of Mr. Dinetz's base salary.

   
      In 1994, pursuant to his former employment agreement Mr. Dinetz was
granted options (the "Dinetz Options") to purchase 5,976,415 shares of Nonvoting
Stock, including (i) options vesting equally over five years (from January 10,
1994) to purchase up to 3,307,722 shares at an exercise price of $1.00 per share
and (ii) options vesting equally over five years (from October 12, 1994) to
purchase up to 2,668,582 shares at an exercise price of $1.25 per share, in each
case with such exercise price to increase at a compound rate of 9% per annum. Of
the options granted, options for 1,062,004 shares contained a feature which
conditioned their exercise upon the Company's attaining certain rates of return
("IRR Options"). In September 1995, the Company agreed with Mr. Dinetz to amend
the IRR Options to remove the rate of return feature. The Company further agreed
to amend the exercise price for the Dinetz Options to provide that all options
previously exercisable at $1.00 per share will be exercisable at $1.25 per share
and that all options previously exercisable at $1.25 per share will be
exercisable at $1.40 per share. The Dinetz Options were also amended to remove
the annual compounding of the exercise price. In accordance with their terms,
the Dinetz Options were adjusted in connection with the recapitalization of
Chancellor's common stock immediately prior to the consummation of the Initial
Public Offering. Accordingly, Mr. Dinetz owns, on an adjusted basis, options for
487,555 shares having an option exercise price of $7.50 per share and options
for 375,764 shares having an option exercise price of $8.40 per share. In
addition, on February 9, 1996, Mr. Dinetz was granted options to purchase 75,000
shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Stock Award Plan (as defined).

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

      During 1996, Messrs. Marcus and Massey served as members of the
Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, of which Mr. Marcus acted as
chairman. Mr. Marcus is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Marcus
Cable Company, a cable television multiple system operator. An affiliate of
Hicks Muse has invested approximately $115.0 million in limited partnership
interests in Marcus Cable Company and is one of its largest limited partners.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

      Beginning in 1997, the non-employee directors of Chancellor (other than
Messrs. Hicks, Stuart and Neuman) receive an annual retainer of $25,000 for
serving as directors of Chancellor and its subsidiaries. Non-employee directors
also receive attendance fees of $1,000 ($500 in the case of telephonic meetings)
for each meeting which they attend. Directors who are officers or employees of
Chancellor or the Company are not presently expected to receive compensation for
their services as directors. Directors of Chancellor are entitled to
reimbursement of their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with
their travel to and attendance at meetings of the Board of Directors or
committees thereof.

      Each of Messrs. Marcus and Massey has been granted fully vested options to
purchase up to 13,333 shares of Chancellor's Class A Common Stock at an exercise
price of $7.50 per share. These options will expire on October 12, 2004, unless
exercised prior to that date. Upon her appointment to the Board of Directors in
January 1996, Matrice Ellis-Kirk was granted a right, which she has exercised,
to purchase up to 2,500 shares of Class A Common Stock at a price per share
equal to the Initial Public Offering price per share. In addition, Ms.
Ellis-Kirk has been granted fully vested options to purchase up to 6,666 shares
of Class A Common Stock at an exercise price equal to $20.00 per share which
expire on January 10, 2006. Ms. Ellis-Kirk resigned as a director of Chancellor
and Chancellor Radio Broadcasting on February 21, 1997.
