        JACOR CLOSES SYNERGY/MULTIVERSE BROADCASTING TRANSACTIONS 
                Acquires Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show and 
                Multiverse Networks for $71.5 Million

COVINGTON, KY., November 3, 1997: Jacor Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: JCOR)
announced today that it has closed the transactions that bring the rights to
the Dr. Laura Schlessinger Show and Multiverse Networks under the Jacor
umbrella.  The agreement, which Jacor announced earlier, is valued at $71.5
million.  

Known to millions of Americans simply as "Dr. Laura," Dr. Schlessinger is a
phenomenally successful radio talk show host who "preaches, teaches and nags"
her listeners on a daily basis from her broadcast studios in Los Angeles.  Dr.
Laura is one of the top rated and fastest growing talk radio personalities in
the nation.  Her show currently airs nationally on over 350 radio stations and
commands a strong and loyal following among its listeners.

Multiverse Networks LLC is one of the top three independent network radio sales
organizations in the nation.  In addition to Dr. Schlessinger's radio show
which Multiverse will continue to represent, the company also markets such
other well-known radio programs as The Gary Burbank Show, Country Heartlines
with John Crenshaw, and Beyond the Beltway with Bruce DuMont.

Jacor is the nation's third largest radio group measured in terms of total
revenues.  Prior to the recently announced Nationwide Communications
acquisition and including announced pending acquisitions, Jacor owns, operates,
or represents 172 radio stations in 36 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, the Los Angeles based syndicator of The Dr. Laura
Schlessinger Show and 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.
