Item 5.  Other Events

         On June 14, 1996, Levine v. Cecil Heftel, H. Carl Parmer, Madison
Graves, Richard Heftel, John Mason, Heftel Broadcasting Corporation and Clear
Channel Communications, Inc. (Case No. 15066) was filed in the Court of
Chancery of the State of Delaware in the County of New Castle.  This complaint
is a purported class action complaint on behalf of Jeffrey Levine and all other
stockholders of Registrant to enjoin the defendants from effectuating a $23.00
per share tender offer for their equity interests in Registrant by Clear
Channel Radio, Inc., an indirect subsidiary of Clear Channel Communications,
Inc.  The plaintiff alleges, inter alia, that the tender offer is coercive to
minority stockholders and manifestly unfair and that the offer price is
substantially below the fair market value of the common stock of Registrant.
The plaintiff also alleges that Cecil Heftel and Carl Parmer are breaching
their fiduciary duties to the stockholders of Registrant by negotiating a
settlement of amounts which would be owed to them under their employment
agreements upon a termination thereof by Registrant at the closing of the
tender offer and by agreeing to enter into agreements not to compete with
Registrant for five years after the closing of the tender offer.  The suit
seeks to enjoin preliminarily and permanently the defendants from proceeding
with or consummating the proposed transaction or in the event the tender offer
is completed, the rescission thereof and/or the grant of rescissory damages.
In addition, plaintiff seeks unspecified compensatory damages and an award of
attorneys' fees and costs.  Registrant believes this action is groundless and
has no merit.  Registrant intends to oppose this action vigorously.
