          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 (58.4% at September 30,
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 September 30, 1999, all U.S. Government securities
mature within one year.  Marketable securities classified by
security type are as follows (in thousands):

5.   COMMITMENTS:

     The aggregate amount payable by UTV under contracts for
programming not currently available for telecasting at
September 30, 1999, and, accordingly, not included in film
contracts payable and the related contract rights in the
accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, totaled
$78,802,000.  At September 30, 1999, UTV also has a remaining
commitment to invest over time up to $5,011,000 in investment
limited partnerships.

     In July, 1999, UTV completed the acquisition of the net
assets of UHF television station WRBW-TV in Orlando, Florida.
UTV remains obligated for possible future consideration relating
to the purchase of up to $25,000,000.

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 $3,494,000 in the first nine months of 1999,
while payments exceeded amortization by $2,211,000 in the first
nine months 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 nine months 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 and 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, marketable securities and other investments.
UTV's cash flow from operations for the first nine months of 1999
totaled $34,786,000.  However, as a result of cash used to acquire
WRBW-TV and to make other investments, cash and marketable securities
decreased $43,643,000 to $173,184,000 at September 30, 1999.  UTV has
a remaining commitment to invest over time up to $5,011,000 in
investment limited partnerships.

     Reflecting the WRBW-TV acquisition and other investments, working
capital decreased $40,214,000 during the first nine months of 1999
to $188,768,000 at September 30, 1999.  Working capital at September 30,
1999 remains substantially in excess of UTV's normal operating
requirements.
<PAGE>
PAGE 9

     In July, 1999, UTV completed the purchase of the net assets of UHF
television station WRBW-TV in Orlando, Florida for $60,000,000 plus a
net amount of $1,358,000 related to the purchase of receivables,
assumption of programming obligations and other adjustments.  The
purchase price was paid from working capital.  UTV remains obligated
for possible future consideration relating to the purchase of up to
$25,000,000.  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 $78,802,000
at September 30, 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 September 30, 1999, 721,249
shares were authorized for purchase.  From January 1, 1997, through
September 30, 1999, 107,500 shares were purchased for an aggregate
cost of $10,592,000, of which 8,400 shares were purchased during the
first nine months of 1999 for an aggregate cost of $828,000.

     UTV's commitments for capital expenditures at September 30, 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.  During 1999,
UTV stations KBHK-TV in San Francisco and KTVX-TV in Salt Lake City
have made 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 digital television, 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
has substantially completed all remediation efforts, including third
party systems testing.  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 September 30, 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            $129,876        $129,788
     Equity securities                       17,594          23,180

     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 seven television stations.  Third quarter 1999 net income
increased 29% to $10,882,000, or $1.16 per share ($1.15 per share
diluted), from $8,456,000, or $.90 per share ($.89 per share
diluted), in last year's third quarter.  The increase in net income
resulted from an increase in revenues and a resulting increase in
operating income.

     Consolidated net revenues rose 28% for the quarter to a record
$51,390,000, from $40,111,000 last year.  The increase reflects strong
local and national advertising sales gains at most of UTV's stations,
as well as revenues at WRBW-TV, UTV's Orlando station acquired in
July, 1999.  Same station local and national revenue rose 24% for the
quarter.  Same station sales increases resulted primarily from strong
audience ratings and advertiser demand for the stations' newer
syndicated off-network series.

     Third quarter operating income rose 35% to a third quarter
record $14,340,000, from $10,593,000 last year.  Same station
operating expenses rose 19%, including a 27% increase in programming
costs, which reflects in part a decrease in earnings at UTV's
production entity.

     Interest and other income for the quarter increased 15% to
$3,642,000, from $3,163,000 in 1998.

     Net income for the first nine months of 1999 decreased to
$32,187,000, or $3.42 per share ($3.41 per share diluted), from
last year's net income of $39,938,000, or $4.25 per share ($4.23
per share diluted).  The 1998 results reflected a net gain from
the sale of marketable securities of $12,932,000, or $1.38 per share
($1.37 per share diluted).  On a comparable basis, excluding the
1998 gain on the sale of securities, net income rose 19% for the
nine-month period.

PAGE 11

     Consolidated net revenues for the nine-month period rose 17%
to $149,778,000, from $127,907,000 in 1998.  The increase reflects a
16% increase in same station local and national advertising revenues as
well as revenues at newly acquired WRBW.  Same station sales increases
primarily resulted from successful syndicated series and increased
acceptance by viewers and advertisers of WUTB, UTV's Baltimore
station, which was acquired in January, 1998 and then began operating
for the first time as a traditional commercial broadcasting station.


     Operating income for the nine-month period increased 19% to
$43,692,000, from $36,788,000 last year.  Same station operating
expenses rose 14%, including a 24% increase in same station program
costs, which reflects in part a decrease in earnings at UTV's
production entity.

     Interest and other income for the nine-month period increased 14%
to $9,520,000, from $8,318,000 last year.
