FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

                JACOR MAKES PROMOTIONS IN SALT LAKE CITY

COVINGTON, KY August 13, 1998: Jacor Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: JCOR) today
promoted Tom Sly to Vice President and Market Manager of the Salt Lake City
broadcast area.  Sly had been Vice President and General Manager of
KZHT-FM/KKAT-FM/KURR-FM and now adds KODJ-FM/KNRS-AM/KALL-AM to his
responsibilities. 

Jay Meyers, Jacor Senior Vice President commented, "This promotion recognizes
the outstanding job Tom has done for Jacor in Salt Lake City.  For the longest
time he impressed me as a man who could seemingly be in two places at one
time...then Randy Michaels told me that his twin brother Clint was the guy
running our AM's in Portland."

Lee Douglas joins Jacor Salt Lake City as Station Manager.  Douglas comes from
a lengthy successful programming career including WCKG in Chicago, KYCY in San
Francisco, and WOFX-FM in Cincinnati.  In his new position, Douglas will
oversee the programming, operations, marketing and promotion of all six Salt
Lake properties, reporting to newly appointed Market Manager Tom Sly.  In
commenting on Douglas' promotion Sly said, "I'm excited to have someone of
Lee's caliber join our operation.  He can provide us the vision to grow Jacor
Salt Lake City into the dominant player in this market.  But most important,
his addition provides me the time to pursue my ultimate goal, to continue to
train to become the anchor on the Jamaica Bobsled Team at the 2002 Winter
Olympics in Salt Lake."

In another executive move in Salt Lake City, Jacor promoted Mary Lee Robinson
to Director of Sales for Jacor's four FM's in Salt Lake.  She had been General
Sales Manager of KZHT-FM/KURR-FM since joining the company in 1997.

All promotions are effective immediately.
