                           LOCAL MARKETING AGREEMENT

      THIS LOCAL MARKETING AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered
into as of the 11th day of February, 1998, by and between MARK JACKY
BROADCASTING, a Washington general partnership ("Mark Jacky"), and TRIATHLON
BROADCASTING OF TRI-CITIES, INC., a Delaware corporation ("Triathlon").

      WHEREAS, Mark Jacky owns and operates radio broadcast station KUJ(FM),
Walla Walla, Washington (the "Station"); and

      WHEREAS, Triathlon desires to provide programming to the Station, and
Mark Jacky desires to broadcast the programming provided by Triathlon;

      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual representations, warranties
and covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
and intending to be fully bound hereby, Triathlon and Mark Jacky hereby agree
as follows:


       1. Basic Agreement. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the
exceptions set forth herein, and to the applicable rules, regulations and
policies of the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC"), Triathlon agrees
to provide and Mark Jacky agrees to accept programming




                                       1

on the Station as set forth in this Agreement. Mark Jacky agrees to
broadcast the programming including commercial announcements supplied by
Triathlon without interruption, deletion or addition of any kind, except as
provided in this Agreement and subject to Mark Jacky's obligations under the
statutes, rules, regulations and policies of the FCC.


       2. Hours of Programming. Triathlon will supply, and Mark Jacky will
transmit, subject to the exceptions set forth in Sections 6 and 8 below,
programming for all periods of broadcast operations as long as this Agreement
remains in full force and effect.

       3. Term of Agreement. The term of this Agreement (the "Term") shall
commence on the 1st day of February, 1998 and shall terminate on January 31,
2003, unless sooner terminated pursuant to the provisions of Section 22 of this
Agreement or unless modified by the mutual written agreement of the parties.


       4. Sale of Advertising Time. In consideration for the furnishing by
Triathlon of the programming to Mark Jacky, Mark Jacky agrees that from and
after the date of this Agreement, Triathlon may sell (or engage a third party
to sell) seventy-five percent (75%) of the commercial time on the Station
(based on Monday-Sunday, 5 a.m. to midnight, 12 units of 30 or 60 seconds per
hour) ("Triathlon's Advertising Time") for Triathlon's account and may collect
all revenues generated by such sales. Mark Jacky shall retain the remaining
twenty-five percent (25%) of the Station's commercial time ("Mark Jacky's
Advertising Time") for its own account and shall deliver to Triathlon's traffic
department on a daily basis an Insertion Order for the broadcast of Mark
Jacky's





                                       2
<PAGE>





advertising by a stated deadline twenty-four (24) hours in advance.
Triathlon agrees to run the commercial spots sold by Mark Jacky and which are
evidenced by Mark Jacky's Insertion Orders. Any unused commercial inventory
shall be made available each day to either party on a first-come basis prior to
Triathlon's traffic deadline. Triathlon agrees to run all trade and commercial
spots sold by Mark Jacky prior to the date of this Agreement, but which were
scheduled to be broadcast after the date hereof, at the times scheduled by Mark
Jacky; provided, however, that such spots shall be applied against and credited
to Mark Jacky's Advertising Time unless any portion thereof consists of trade
which inures equally to the benefit of Mark Jacky and Triathlon, in which event
such trade spots shall be equally allocated between Triathlon's Advertising
Time and Mark Jacky's Advertising Time; and provided further, that all trade
spots scheduled to be broadcast after the date hereof may be pre-empted by
commercial time sold for cash. A list of all trade and commercial spots sold by
Mark Jacky to be broadcast during programming provided by Triathlon shall be
provided to Triathlon on the date of this Agreement.


       5. Compensation. In consideration for Triathlon's right to sell
commercial time and collect all of the revenues from such sales pursuant to
this Agreement, Triathlon agrees to pay to Mark Jacky a fee in cash in the sum
of Five Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($5,500) each month, payable in advance
on the first business day of the month. Payments received after the tenth day
of any month shall be assessed a late fee of five percent (5%) of the amount of
the required monthly payment.

       6. Reservation of Time. Mark Jacky specifically reserves for its own use
up to two (2) hours




                                       3
<PAGE>






per week of programming time (the "Reserved Time") during which it may
broadcast programming of its choice. The Reserved Time shall be at a
mutually agreed time on Sunday between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 12:00
midnight, in segments of no less than one (1) hour.


       7. Employees. Triathlon agrees to use reasonable efforts to hire those
employees of Mark Jacky who presently perform the programming services for the
Station which will be performed by Triathlon under this Agreement. Triathlon
shall be responsible only for the payment of the compensation of those Mark
Jacky employees hired by it commencing with the effective date of this
Agreement and shall not be responsible for the payment of any sums owed to any
such employees for any period prior to the date of this Agreement.


       8. Mark Jacky's Programming Discretion. In order to enable Mark Jacky to
fulfill its obligations under Section 317 of the Communications Act of 1934, as
amended (the "Act"), Triathlon in compliance with Section 507 of the Act will,
in advance of any scheduled broadcast by the Station, disclose to Mark Jacky
any information of which Triathlon has knowledge, or which has been disclosed
to it, as to any money, service or other valuable consideration which any
person has paid or accepted, or has agreed to pay or to accept, for the
inclusion of any matter as a part of the programming or commercial matter to be
supplied to Mark Jacky pursuant to this Agreement. Triathlon will cooperate
with Mark Jacky as necessary to ensure compliance with this provision.
Commercial matter with obvious sponsorship identifications shall not require
disclosure in addition to that contained in the commercial copy. Triathlon
further agrees that it will at all times conduct sales of, and broadcast,
commercial matter hereunder in compliance with all applicable statutes and




                                       4

regulations, including, without limitation, the rules and regulations of the
FCC and the Act. Mark Jacky and Triathlon shall consult and cooperate with each
other to insure that each provides, makes available to and sells time to
political candidates from the time available to it under this Agreement in

      It is further understood and agreed that Mark Jacky will retain ultimate
authority and control over programming decisions for the Station during the
course of this Agreement and will be responsible for insuring that the

community. Triathlon agrees that all such programming as presented by Triathlon

Act. Mark Jacky agrees that during the Term of this Agreement Triathlon shall
have the right to suggest changes in the format of the Station, provided that

any delay or interruption in broadcast programming, or failure at any time to
furnish facilities, in whole or in part, for broadcasting, due to acts of God,

<PAGE>






signed by the party against whom the change, modification or discharge is
claimed or sought to be enforced, nor shall any waiver of any of the conditions
or provisions of this Agreement be effective and binding unless such waiver
shall be in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is

       19. Mark Jacky's Representations. Mark Jacky makes the following
further representations, warranties and covenants:

        (a) Mark Jacky owns and holds all FCC licenses, permits and
authorizations necessary for the operation of the Station as presently
conducted, and such licenses, permits and authorizations will be in full force
and effect for the entire Term hereof, materially unimpaired by any acts or
omissions of Mark Jacky, its principals, employees or agents. There is not
pending or, to Mark Jacky's best knowledge, threatened, any action by the FCC
or other party to revoke, cancel, suspend, refuse to renew or modify adversely
any of such licenses, permits or authorizations and, to Mark Jacky's best
knowledge, no event has occurred which allows or, after notice or lapse of time
or both,





                                      10





<PAGE>


would allow, the revocation or termination of such licenses, permits
or authorizations or the imposition of any restrictions thereon of such a
nature that may limit the operation of the Station as presently conducted. Mark
Jacky has no reason to believe that any such license, permit or authorization
will not be renewed during the Term of the Agreement in its ordinary course.

        (b) All reports and applications required to be filed with the FCC
(including ownership reports and renewal applications) or any other government
entity, department or body in respect of the Station have been, and in the
future will be, filed in a timely manner and are and will be true and complete
and accurately present the information contained and required thereby. All such
reports and documents, to the extent required to be kept in the public
inspection files of the Station, are and will be kept in such files.

        (c) Mark Jacky has, and will throughout the Term hereof maintain, good
and marketable title to all of its assets and properties used in the operation
of the Station.

        (d) Mark Jacky will maintain in full force and effect throughout the
Term of this Agreement insurance with responsible and reputable insurance
companies or associations covering such risks (including fire and other risks
insured against by extended coverage, public liability insurance, insurance
for claims against personal injury or death or property damage and such other
insurance as may be required by law) and in such amounts and on such terms as
is conventionally carried by broadcasters operating radio stations with
facilities comparable to those of the Station. Any insurance proceeds received
by Mark Jacky in respect of damaged property will be used to repair or replace
such property so that the operation of the Station conforms with this Agreement.

      20. Notices. All notices, demands and requests permitted or required
under this Agreement
