substantially all of the assets of WHK-AM (Cleveland) (the "Station"); and

   WHEREAS, Buyer and Seller desire to amend certain provisions of the
Agreement;

   NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, including the
furtherance of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, the parties agree
as follows:

   1.    Amendment to Section 8.1. Section 8.1 of the Agreement is hereby
         ------------------------                                        
deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

        8.1 TIME AND PLACE. The Closing shall take place at the offices of
            --------------                                                
     Seller's counsel in Cleveland, Ohio, or at such other place as the parties
     agree, but no later than January 17, 1997 if all conditions to closing have
     been satisfied by that date (the "Closing Date"); provided, however, that
     the Closing Date shall not occur until after the last to occur of the
     following dates: (i) the date on which issuance of the FCC Order without
     any Material Adverse condition has become a Final Action; and (ii) the date
     on which the FCC's grant of Seller's application for renewal of the FCC

     sole option, may elect to close at any time after the expiration of any
     time period allowed for petitions to deny or other public comment with
     respect to Seller's application for renewal of the FCC Licenses. The
     parties agree to take all commercially reasonable actions to extend any
     approvals by the FCC through the Closing Date.

        13.16 LOCAL MARKETING AGREEMENT. If the parties enter into a local
              -------------------------                                  
     marketing agreement for the operation of the Station by Buyer (the "LMA"),
     Buyer shall not have any right or claim, including, without limitation, any
     right to terminate this Agreement or any claim for liabilities, damages,
     losses, costs or expenses, due to the inaccuracy of any representation or
     warranty, the breach of any covenant, or the failure of any condition
     resulting from (a) the operation of the Station by Buyer under

 
     the LMA or (b) Buyer's repairs, modifications, or maintenance to the
     Station's broadcast facilities.

   3.    Addition of Section 13.17. The following is hereby added as Section
         -------------------------

     Buyer shall have access to the Station's broadcast facilities in order to
     make certain repairs and modifications and conduct certain maintenance
     thereto (collectively, the "Work") at Buyer's sole expense. In exchange for
     this access, Buyer agrees to waive any right or claim, now existing or
     hereafter arising, known or unknown, for liabilities, damages, losses,
     costs or expenses due to the inaccuracy of any representation or warranty
     by Seller, the breach of any covenant by Seller, or the failure of any
     condition of Seller, in each case, relating to the condition of or the
     engineering or technical aspects of the Tangible Personal Property or their
     compliance with governmental (including FCC) law, rules, policies, or
     regulations; provided, however, Buyer shall be entitled to assert claims to
     the extent provided for in the Agreement in connection with casualty losses
     occasioned by events other than those for which Buyer is required to
     indemnify Seller pursuant to the immediately following sentence. Buyer will
     indemnify and hold Seller and all officers, directors, agents, employees
     and affiliates thereof harmless from and against any Losses arising in
     connection with the Work, regardless of whether such Work is done prior to
     or subsequent to August 12, 1996.

         ---------------------------------------
