                JACOR TO SELL KKLQ AND KJQY IN SAN DIEGO
        TO HEFTEL BROADCASTING CORPORATION FOR $65.15 MILLION


COVINGTON, KY May 26, 1998: Jacor Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: JCOR) agreed to
sell KKLQ-FM and KJQY-FM in San Diego to Heftel Broadcasting Corporation for
$65.15 million in cash.  The sale of two San Diego stations was widely
anticipated as one of the prerequisites to closing Jacor's pending purchase of
Nationwide Communications, Inc.   In October 1997 Jacor announced it had signed
a letter of intent to purchase Nationwide's entire station portfolio for $620
million.  Nationwide operates 17 stations in 11 broadcast areas, including two
stations in San Diego.  Jacor already operates eight stations in San Diego.

The sale of KKLQ and KJQY is currently under regulatory review and is subject
to several conditions, including but not limited to, Jacor's closing of the
Nationwide transaction.

Jacor is the nation's second largest radio company measured by total stations. 
Including announced pending acquisitions, Jacor now owns, operates or
represents 203 radio stations in 56 broadcast areas and WKRC-TV in Cincinnati. 
Additionally, Jacor's wholly owned subsidiary Premiere Radio Networks is the
country's third largest provider of syndicated radio programming including the
nation's top rated radio talk shows:  The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Dr. Laura
Schlessinger Show, Dr. Dean Edell and Art Bell. Jacor also owns a satellite
distribution service, NSN, which provides bi-directional communications among
multiple networks.  Jacor plans to pursue growth through continued acquisitions
of complementary radio stations in existing broadcast locations, and radio
groups or individual stations with significant presence in other domestic and
international locations.  Additionally, Jacor plans to grow in other broadcast
related products and businesses.
