FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

JACOR ADDS 35th BROADCAST AREA:  RE-ENTERS CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA
                         WITH FOUR STATIONS


COVINGTON, KY., September 3, 1997:   Jacor Communications, Inc. (JCOR: Nasdaq)
today added Charleston, South Carolina to its growing list of broadcast areas
throughout the United States.  In a move that finds Jacor back in familiar
territory, the company announced it will add WRFQ-FM, WSUY-FM, WEZL-FM and
WXLY-FM to the Jacor station base.  Jacor entered into an agreement with Regent
Communications to acquire Regent's right to purchase WRFQ and WSUY for $4.5
million.  Separately, Jacor and Regent agreed to terminate a prior agreement in
which Regent had planned to purchase WEZL and WXLY from Jacor.  Jacor CEO Randy
Michaels commented, "We are thrilled to re-enter the Charleston market with
four great stations." 

The acquisition of WRFQ and WSUY is subject to regulatory review.

Jacor is the nation's third largest radio group measured by total revenues. 
Including announced pending acquisitions, Jacor now owns, operates, or
represents 163 radio stations in 35 U.S. broadcast areas, and WKRC-TV in
Cincinnati.  Additionally, Jacor is the country's third largest provider of
syndicated radio programming through Radio-Active Media (formerly EFM), the
syndicator for top radio personalities Rush Limbaugh and Dr. Dean Edell, and
Premiere Radio Networks, a Los Angeles based creator of comedy clips, jingles
and other programming and research products.  Jacor also owns a satellite
distribution service, NSN, which provides bi-directional communication among
multiple networks.  Jacor plans to pursue growth through continued acquisitions
of complementary radio stations in its existing broadcast locations, and radio
groups or individual stations with significant presence in other attractive
locations.  Additionally, Jacor has plans to grow in other broadcast-related
products and businesses.
