        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            (Unaudited)

1.   PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION:

     The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements 
include the accounts of UTV and its subsidiaries after elimination 
of all significant intercompany accounts and transactions.  UTV is 
a majority owned (58.5% at March 31, 1999) subsidiary of BHC 
Communications, Inc. (BHC), a majority owned subsidiary of 
Chris-Craft Industries, Inc.

     The financial information included herein has been prepared 
by UTV, 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, UTV 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 UTV'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 this interim period are 
not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the full 
fiscal year, due to seasonal factors, among others.

2.   MARKETABLE SECURITIES:

     All of UTV's marketable securities have been categorized as 
available for sale and as a result are carried at fair market value.  
At March 31, 1999, all U.S. Government securities mature within 
one year.  Marketable securities classified by security type are 
as follows (in thousands):

                                          Gross Unrealized
                                          ----------------
                                  Cost     Gains    Losses  Fair Value

                               --------  -------   ------  ----------
December 31, 1998:
  U.S. Government securities   $142,578  $   209   $   26   $142,761
  Equity securities              17,526    6,236      467     23,295
                               --------  -------   ------   --------
                               $160,104  $ 6,445   $  493   $166,056
                               ========  =======   ======   ========

     The difference between cost and fair value, net of taxes, is 
reflected as an increase to shareholders' investment in the 
accompanying balance sheets.

     For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, UTV realized marketable 
securities gains of $465,000.  For purposes of computing realized 
gains and losses, cost was determined using the specific identification 
method.

3.   SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION:

     Cash paid for income taxes for the first quarter of 1999 and 
1998 totaled $3,005,000 and $1,936,000, respectively.

4.   COMPREHENSIVE INCOME:

     Other comprehensive income includes only unrealized gains and 
losses on marketable securities classified as available for sale 
(see Note 2), net of reclassification adjustments for gains included 
in net income.  Comprehensive income is as follows (in thousands):


                                                    Three Months

5.   COMMITMENTS:

     The aggregate amount payable by UTV under contracts for 
programming not currently available for telecasting at March 31, 
1999, and, accordingly, not included in film contracts payable and 
the related contract rights in the accompanying Condensed 
Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled $94,931,000.  At March 31, 
1999, UTV has a remaining commitment to invest over time up 
to $10,952,000 in management buyout limited partnerships.

     In October 1997, UTV signed a definitive agreement to purchase 
the assets of UHF television station WRBW-TV in Orlando, Florida, for 
$60,000,000 and possible future consideration.  The acquisition is 
subject to Federal Communications Commission approval and other 
conditions in the agreement.

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

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

     UTV's operating cash flow is generated primarily by its 
television broadcasting operations and generally parallels the 
earnings of UTV's television stations, adjusted to reflect the 
difference between film contract payments and film contract 
amortization.  The relationship between such payments and 
amortization may vary greatly between periods (amortization 
exceeded payments by $767,000 in the first quarter of 1999, while 
payments exceeded amortization by $616,000 in the first quarter 
of 1998) and is dependent upon the mix of programs aired and payment 
terms of the stations' contracts.  UTV stations generated substantial 
cash flow in the first quarter of 1999, and are expected to do the 
same for the full year.  With its considerable cash and marketable 
securities balances, UTV continues to be well positioned to pursue new 
opportunities or deal effectively with uncertainties that may arise 
in the television broadcasting industry or economic environment.

     UTV's cash flow is augmented by interest and dividend income 
associated with its cash and marketable securities.  UTV's cash 
flow from operations for the first quarter of 1999 totaled 
$15,051,000, and cash and marketable securities increased $13,414,000 
to $230,241,000 at March 31, 1999.  UTV has a remaining commitment 
to invest over time up to $10,952,000 in management buyout limited 
partnerships.

     Working capital decreased $237,000 during the first quarter of 
1999 to $228,745,000 at March 31, 1999.  Working capital at March 31, 
1999 remains substantially in excess of UTV's normal operating 
requirements.

     In October 1997, UTV signed a definitive agreement to purchase the 
assets of UHF television station WRBW-TV in Orlando, Florida, for 
$60,000,000 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.  UTV continues 
to be engaged in an ongoing review of business opportunities in media, 
entertainment, communications and other industries.  UTV currently has 
no outstanding debt and believes it is capable of raising significant 
additional capital to augment its already substantial liquid assets, if 
desired, to fund any resulting expansion.

     UTV regularly makes current commitments for programming that 
will not be available for telecasting until future dates and had 
commitments for payments for such programming totaling $94,931,000 
at March 31, 1999.  UTV expects to continue to satisfy these 
commitments in the ordinary course of business.

     UTV's Board of Directors has from time to time authorized the 
purchase of UTV common shares.  At March 31, 1999, purchase of an 
additional 729,649 shares was so authorized.  From January 1, 1997, 
through March 31, 1999, 99,100 shares were purchased for an 
aggregate cost of $9,764,000.  No shares were purchased during the 
first quarter of 1999.

     UTV's commitments for capital expenditures at March 31, 1999 
were not material in relation to UTV's financial position.  During 
1998, UTV's stations began converting to digital television (DTV).  
This conversion will require the purchase of digital transmitting 
equipment to telecast over a newly assigned frequency.  In April 1999, 
KBHK-TV in San Francisco became the first of the UTV stations to make 
the initial conversion to DTV signal transmission.  This conversion 
rollout is expected to take a number of years and will be subject to 
competitive market conditions.  Funds for capital expenditures have 
generally been provided from operations.  UTV expects that future 
capital expenditures for its present business, including the cost to 
convert to DTV, will be funded from operations or current cash balances.  
UTV has no present requirement for additional capital.

     UTV, which completed an assessment of its year 2000 issues in 1998, 
believes that the total estimated compliance cost is immaterial.  UTV 
expects to have completed all remediation efforts, including third party 
systems testing, by September 30, 1999.  UTV 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
----------------------------------------------------------

     UTV is subject to certain market risk related 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
                                           --------       ----------
U.S. Government securities                 $144,602        $144,653 
Equity securities                            17,375          21,802 

     All of UTV's marketable securities have been categorized as 
available for sale and are comprised substantially of U.S. Government 
securities, all of which mature within one year.  (See Note 2 to 
Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.)

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

     UTV's primary source of revenue is the sale to advertisers 
of time on its six television stations.  First quarter 1999 net 
income increased 22% to $8,068,000, or $.86 per basic and diluted 
share, from $6,610,000, or $.71 per share ($.70 per diluted share), 
in last year's first quarter.  Strong local and national advertising 
sales more than offset an increase in station operating expenses. 

     Consolidated net revenues rose 14% for the quarter to 
$44,961,000, from $39,293,000 last year.  The increase primarily 
reflects greater local and national advertising time sales generated 
as a result of increased audience ratings on syndicated programming.

     The revenue increase was partially offset by increases in station 
operating expenses, including an 18% increase in station programming 
costs.  Operating income increased 30% to $10,368,000, from last year's 
$7,972,000.

     Interest and other income for the quarter was $2,975,000, compared 
to $2,988,000 in 1998.
