ITEM 12  CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

LEASES

            The studios and tower site of WWTC(AM) and KYCR(AM) are located in
St. Louis Park, Minnesota. The studio facility consists of approximately 12,000
square feet. The tower site includes four 200-foot towers, a transmitter
building and a storage garage on approximately 16 acres. The tower site is
leased from Mr. Dahl at a total annual rent of approximately $114,000, and the
studio site is leased from a partnership consisting of Messrs. Dahl and Perkins
at an annual rent of approximately $132,000.

            In January 1996, the Company entered into a five-year lease with 724
Associates, a partnership consisting of Messrs. Dahl, Perkins and Stephen L.
Wallack, a shareholder of the Company, for 6,000 square feet of office space at
724 North First Street, Minneapolis, Minnesota. These facilities are leased at
annual rental of $54,000 and house the Company's executive offices. The
executive offices are adjacent to the offices of CAC and RMC. CAC is owned and
controlled by Messrs. Dahl, Perkins and Russell Cowles II, either directly or
through trusts. RMC is owned by Messrs. Dahl, Perkins and Cowles. Mr. Cowles, a
former director-elect of the Company, is a beneficiary and trustee of the John
Cowles Family Trust, a shareholder of the Company. Under the terms of each of
the leases, the Company is obligated to pay its proportionate share of repairs
and maintenance. These arrangements were approved by the Related Party
Transaction Committee of the Company's Board of Directors, which is comprised of
disinterested directors, and the Company believes such arrangements were on
terms at least as favorable as could have been obtained from unaffiliated third
parties.

MANAGEMENT SERVICES FROM AN AFFILIATE

            Since July 1993, the Company has received administrative, legal and
accounting services from RMC. RMC is a company owned by the Chairman of the
Board, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, another director
and a shareholder. RMC provides corporate, legal, accounting and financial
services to the Company, CAC and Harmony. CAC is a separate private company also
owned by the individuals described above. The Company pays a set monthly fee of
$75,000 for the services listed above. All outside services directly
attributable to the Company are billed directly to the Company. The Company paid
RMC an aggregate of $750,000 for such services during the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1996 and an aggregate of $900,000 for such services during the
fiscal year ended December 31, 1997. The salaries of two officers of the
Company, Messrs. Riley and Gilbertson, are paid by RMC. These arrangements were
approved by the Related Party Transaction Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors, which is comprised of disinterested directors, and the Company
believes such arrangements were on terms at least as favorable as could have
been obtained from unaffiliated third parties.

HARMONY-RELATED TRANSACTIONS

            In connection with the July 1997 acquisition by the Company of
shares of common stock of Harmony, the Company borrowed an aggregate of $1.25
million from three parties: Rodney P. Burwell, a former director of the Company,
Pyramid Partners, L.P., an entity of which PCM is the managing partner, and
William M. Toles, a shareholder of the Company. Mr. Perkins, a director of the
Company, is President and Chief Executive Officer of PCM. Messrs. Perkins and
Toles are members of the Board of Directors of Harmony. Their loans are
evidenced by notes bearing interest at 10% per year, payable on July 25, 1998.
Additionally, warrants to purchase an aggregate of 125,000 shares of Common
Stock at $4.00 per share were issued to those lenders.

            Messrs. Dahl and Perkins are directors of Harmony, an entity of
which the Company is the largest shareholder. In January 1998, the Company
received proceeds of $611,000 and paid debt issuance costs of $39,000 through
the issuance of a note payable to Harmony with a face amount of $650,000. The
note payable bears interest at 15%, is unsecured and is due upon demand. In May
1998, the Company repaid $322,863 of principal on the note and $36,062 of
interest which had accrued through May 21, 1998.
