                             STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT


       This SECOND AMENDMENT TO STOCKHOLDERS AGREEMENT ("Amendment") dated as
of February 20, 1997, is entered into by and among Capstar Broadcasting

Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "New BT Holder"), Capstar
Boston Partners, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the "New Putnam
Holder") and the Required Holders and other parties named on the signature
pages hereto.

       WHEREAS, the parties hereto, other than the New BT Holder and the New
Putnam Holder (collectively, the "New Holders"), are parties to that certain
Stockholders Agreement dated as of October 16, 1996, as previously amended,
(the "Agreement").  A copy of the Agreement is attached hereto as Annex "A".

       WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Agreement so as to add
the New Holders as a party to the Agreement and to amend certain terms and
provisions of the Agreement as provided in this Amendment.

       In consideration of the premises, mutual covenants and agreements
hereinafter contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree
as follows:

       1.     By its execution and delivery of this Amendment, each New Holder
shall become a Holder (and shall have all rights of a Holder, including a
Non-HMC Group Holder) under the terms and provisions of the Agreement and shall
also be treated as a member of the HMC Group for all purposes of the Agreement;
provided that for the purposes of Article 2, Article 7 and Article 8 of the
Agreement each New Holder shall not be a member of the HMC Group.

       2.     For purposes of Article 8 the definition of HMC Group shall be
deemed to include R. Steven Hicks but shall exclude any other officers,
directors, and employees of HMTF or its Affiliates.

       3.     The rights and obligations of each New Holder arising under the
Agreement are personal in nature and shall not be transferable or assignable to
any other Person and shall not be enforceable by or binding upon any Person who
receives or acquires from a New Holder any shares of Common Stock.

       4.     The definition of "Common Stock" is hereby amended and restated
to read as follows:
<PAGE>   2
              "Common Stock" means (a) shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.01
              par value per share, of the Company, (b) shares of Class B Common
              Stock, $0.01 par value per share, of the Company, and (c) any
              capital stock into which any such shares of common stock
              thereafter may be changed.

       5.     The term Rights Holder is hereby amended to refer to each of R.
Steven Hicks and the New BT Holder and each reference to Rights Holder in
Article 7 shall be deemed to refer to each of them severally (and not jointly).

       6.     Except as expressly amended hereby, the terms and provisions of
the Agreement remain in force and effect and by reference are incorporated
herein and made a part hereof.

       7.     Defined terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the
meaning given such term in the Agreement.
