Ladies and Gentlemen:

     Pursuant to Temporary Note 3T to Article 3 of Regulation S-X, Interep
National Radio Sales, Inc. ("Interep") has obtained a letter of representation
from Arthur Andersen LLP ("Andersen") stating that Andersen's review of
Interep's interim financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2002 was
subject to their quality control system for the U.S. accounting and auditing
practice to provide reasonable assurance that the engagement was conducted in
compliance with professional standards, that there was appropriate continuity of
Andersen personnel working on the review and availability of national office
consultation. Availability of personnel at foreign affiliates of Andersen is not
relevant to this review.

                                        Very truly yours,
