Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

        a.  Discontinuance of Network Operations. On September 9, 1996, the
Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to discontinue the operations of
the radio network owned by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary Spanish
Coast-to-Coast, Ltd., a Delaware corporation Cadena Radio Centro ("CRC")
effective August 5, 1996. Consequently, the accompanying condensed consolidated
statements of operations have been restated to reflect the effects of the
discontinued operations of CRC for each of the periods presented. The estimated
charge to operations during the quarter ended September 30, 1996 will be
approximately $8.1 million, of which $6.5 million relates to non-cash charges
resulting from the write-off of goodwill and certain equipment.  No income tax
expense or benefits will be recognized during fiscal year 1996 due to the
Company's availability of net operating loss carryforwards.  CRC intends to
fulfill its contractual program obligations and is expected to cease operating
by December 31, 1996.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF
OPERATIONS.
        
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1996 COMPARED TO THE 
NINE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995

        Net revenues increased by $6.4 million, or 13.7%, to $53.0 million in
the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from $46.6 million in the same period of
1995.  Operating expenses increased by $5.8 million, or 15.6%, to $43.1 million
in the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from $37.3 million in the same period of
1995.  The increases in net revenues and operating expenses over the same
period of 1996 are due primarily to the results of operations of additional
radio stations acquired during fiscal 1995 and to increases in programming and
promotion expenses resulting from programming changes in the Miami market.

        Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $4.2 million, or
113.8% to $7.9 million in the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from $3.7 million
in the same period of 1995 primarily as a result of increased borrowings over
the same period of the prior year.  The proceeds of borrowings were used
primarily for business acquisitions and certain capital expenditures.

        The losses from discontinued operations of CRC increased by  $1,473,000
to $1,608,000 in the nine months ended June 30, 1996 from $135,000 in the same
period of 1995 primarily as a result of continuing softness of network revenue.

        For the nine months ended June 30, 1996, a net loss of $976,000 was
incurred compared to net income of $3.7 million in the same period of 1995. 
The decrease in net income is due primarily to increases in promotional
expenses over prior year amounts resulting from format changes at two of
the Company's Miami radio stations and interest expense resulting from increased
borrowings.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED TO THE
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994

        During fiscal 1995, the Company completed several radio station
acquisitions.  Additional stations were acquired in August 1994.  Due to the
financial effects of these transactions, the results of operations for 1995
reflect the operations of more radio stations than the results of operations
for 1994.  Consequently, the financial condition and results of operations for
the two years ended September 30, 1995 are not entirely comparable.

        Net revenues increased by $36.8 million, or 134%, to $64.2 million in
the year ended September 30, 1995 from $27.4 million in the same period of
1994.  Operating expenses increased by $31.0 million, or 150%, to $51.7 million
in the year ended September 30, 1995 from $20.7 million in the same period of
1994.  These increases were due primarily to the results of operations of
additional radio stations acquired in August 1994 and during fiscal 1995.

        Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $3.4 million, or
113%, to $6.4 million in the year ended September 30, 1995 from $3.0 million in
the same period of 1994 primarily due to increased borrowings resulting from
new business acquisitions.

        Other expenses decreased by $2.6 million, or 83%, to $548,000 during
the year ended September 30, 1995 as compared to $3.1 million for the same
period in 1994.  For the year ended September 30, 1994, the Company incurred a
loss of $1.7 million as a result of refinanced debt.  In addition, in 1995, the
Company incurred $142,000 in costs relating to unconsummated acquisitions
compared to $1.1 million in the prior year.

   3
        Effective August 20, 1994, the Company began accounting for its 49%
investment in Viva America Media Group, a Florida general partnership ("Viva
Media") on a consolidated basis.  Accordingly, the results of operations
include the accounts of Viva Media from August 20, 1994 through September 30,
1994, and for the entire fiscal year ended September 30, 1995.

         The losses from discontinued operations of CRC increased by $341,000,
or 120%, to $626,000 in the year ended September 30, 1995 as compared to
$285,000 in the same period of 1994 due primarily to continued softness of
network revenue.

        Net income increased by $3.2 million to $3.7 million in the year ended
September 30, 1995 from $466,000 in the same period of 1994.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1994 COMPARED TO THE
YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1993

        In August 1994, the Company completed its initial public offering and a
private sale of stock resulting in net proceeds to the Company of approximately
$45.4 million.  The Company also completed several acquisitions in fiscal 1994. 
Further, the Company borrowed $56.6 million under a new Credit Agreement and
repaid all of its existing indebtedness plus indebtedness assumed in connection
with certain acquisitions.  Due to the financial effects of these transactions,
the Company's financial condition and results of operations for the year ended
September 30, 1994 are not entirely comparable to the same period of the prior
year.

        Net revenues increased by $6.1 million, or 29%, to $27.4 million in
the year ended September 30, 1994 from $21.3 million in the same period of
1993.  Operating expenses increased by $3.4 million, or 29%, to $15.3 million in
the year ended September 30, 1994 from $11.9 million in the same period of
1993.  These increases were due primarily to the results of operations of
additional radio stations acquired since August 1994.

        Interest expense, net of interest income, increased by $686,000, or
30%, to $3.0 million in the year ended September 30, 1994 from $2.3 million in
the same period of 1993 primarily as a result of increased borrowings.

        Other expenses increased by $2.6 million, or 480%, to $3.1 million
during the year ended September 30, 1994 as compared to $534,000 for the same
period in 1993.  For the year ended September 30, 1994, the Company incurred a
loss of $1.7 million as a result of the refinanced debt.  In addition, in
1994, the Company incurred $1.1 million in costs relating to unconsummated
acquisitions compared to $325,000 in the prior year.

        Effective August 20, 1994, the Company began accounting for its 49%
investment in Viva Media on a consolidated basis.  Accordingly, the results of
operations for the year ended September 30, 1994 include the accounts of Viva
Media from August 20, 1994 through September 30, 1994.

        CRC incurred losses of $285,000 from the date of its acquisition in
August 1994, through September 30, 1994.

        Net income decreased by $2.2 million to $466,000 in the year ended
September 30, 1994 from $2.7 million in the same period of 1993.
