COVINGTON, KY., August 19, 1997:  Jacor Communications, Inc. (JCOR: Nasdaq)

Trumper's KISN-AM. The trade is an even exchange and is expected to close at
the end of October.

potential.  We are still assembling the right stations and formats to move Salt
Lake into the winners circle.  KISN-AM has a strong signal and will give us a
greater presence on the AM dial, a unique Jacor strategic advantage.  We're
looking forward to adding KISN to our Salt Lake City line-up."   KISN will be
Jacor's third AM in Salt Lake.  Following the swap, Jacor will operate four FM
stations in the broadcast area.

The swap is subject to regulatory approval.
