Item 5.   Other Events.

     On August 18, 1999, the Board of Directors of Cox Radio, Inc. (i) increased
the number of  directors  from seven to eight and (ii) elected Marc W. Morgan to
fill the vacancy in accordance with Cox Radio's bylaws,  and consistent with the
previously announced management changes described below.

     On July 7, 1999, Cox Radio, Inc issued the following press release:


              COX RADIO ANNOUNCES CHANGES IN MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE;
           MORGAN APPOINTED Co-COO; REIS TO OVERSEE TAMPA AND ORLANDO

     Cox Radio, Inc. today announced changes in its senior management structure.
The announcement was made by Robert F. Neil, President and CEO of Cox Radio.


     Marc W. Morgan,  currently  Senior  Group VP, will become  VP/Co-COO of Cox
Radio  effective  July 1. He joins  current Cox COO,  Dick  Ferguson,  with both
reporting to Neil, who commented, "With the additional stations we have acquired
in our recent  purchases  and swaps,  our new Atlanta area FM, the growth of Cox
Syndication  and the growth of our  Internet  initiatives  with Cox  Interactive
Media,  this  structure  makes sense to provide the depth we need to continue to
grow.  With Dick and Marc, we have the two best  operating  people in America at
the head of Cox Radio."  Morgan  will  continue to oversee the Atlanta and Tulsa
markets,  Cox Radio Syndication,  play a larger role in station acquisitions and
investor  relations and will join the Cox Radio Board of  Directors.  Morgan and
Ferguson will also manage Cox Radio's  relationship with Cox Interactive  Media,
the company's provider of station web sites and partner in the Internet.

     Commenting on the change,  Ferguson stated,  "Adding the Co-COO stripes and
joining the Cox Radio Board formally acknowledges the significant  contributions
Marc has made to the growth of Cox Radio. More importantly, it further positions
the  company to  implement  its  strategy  of growth,  both  through  additional
acquisitions and internal growth."

     Morgan  stated,  "I'm very gratified and excited to continue to play a role
in the  operation of this  company.  I look forward to working with Bob and Dick
and helping them make the many projects we have on our plate successful."

     Rich Reis,  Group Vice  President,  will now also oversee Cox Radio's Tampa
cluster, as well as its Orlando cluster. With its recent acquisitions,  Cox owns
six FM stations and one AM station in the Tampa Bay area. Neil added, "Tampa and
Orlando are so close together,  this move just makes sense. Rich will be able to
work on synergies between Cox's Orlando cluster of seven stations and
the new group of seven stations in Tampa."




     Reis commented, "With our new stations in Tampa, we have the opportunity to
make this  cluster one of the  strongest  in our group.  I'm looking  forward to
working with the management team there to get that done."

     Neil continued,  "Cox Radio is committed to growing the Company. Our strong
belief is that operational excellence delivers value to our shareholders.  These
managers have proven their  ability,  and along with the rest of our  management
team and the hard work of the people of Cox Radio,  we will continue  working to
improve our operational  and financial  performance and the close ties Cox Radio
stations have with the communities we serve."

     Cox Radio is the fifth  largest radio company in the United States based on
net revenues.  Pending the close of all announced  transactions,  Cox Radio will
own, operate, or provide sales and marketing services for 58 stations (44 FM and
14 AM)  clustered in 12 markets.  Cox Radio,  Inc.  shares are traded on the New
York Stock Exchange under the symbol: CXR.
