                  CUMULUS ACQUIRES 16 RADIO STATIONS IN FOUR MARKETS

     MILWAUKEE, July 6 -- Cumulus Media Inc. (NASDAQ:CMLS),  the Milwaukee-based
radio broadcasting group, today announced the closing of three acquisitions
involving 16 radio stations in four markets for a total purchase price of
approximately $65 million.   The cities involved are Chattanooga, TN; 
Montgomery, AL;  Marion-Carbondale, IL and Odessa-Midland, TX.  

      "These are all robust and growing markets," stated Lew Dickey, Executive
Vice Chairman of Cumulus.  "With these acquisitions, we have assembled the
top-rated radio properties and created the leading clusters in each market which
are poised for tremendous growth."

     Cumulus acquired the stock of Colonial Broadcasting, Inc., now known as CBA
Broadcasting, Inc., from Robert Lowder for $39 million.  In Chattanooga, CBA
owns and operates WUSY(FM), a 100 kW Country station that is one of the most
highly rated country music stations in the nation.  Together with the previously
announced agreement to acquire WLMX-AM/FM and WZST(FM) from the Wicks
Broadcasting Group, which is pending FCC approval, Cumulus will own 3 FM
stations and 1 AM station in the Chattanooga market.  Chattanooga is the 102nd
largest out of 267 Arbitron rated radio markets in the country.

     The CBA acquisition also provided Cumulus with a strong entry into the
Montgomery market with 2 FM and 2 AM stations -- WMXS(FM), WLWI(FM), WMSP(AM),
and WNZZ(AM).   The FM stations both broadcast at 100 kW of power.  Montgomery,
the 143rd ranked radio market, is the state capital of Alabama and is home to
Maxwell Air Force Base and several universities and colleges including Alabama
State, Auburn-Montgomery and Troy State-Montgomery.

     Marion-Carbondale is the home of the University of Illinois-Carbondale
campus and is the 209th largest Arbitron rated market.  Cumulus acquired 4 FM
and 2 AM stations in Marion-Carbondale from Clearly Superior Radio for $12.5
million, including WDDD-AM/FM, WTAO(FM), WVZA(FM), WQUL(FM) and WFRX(AM).

     In Odessa-Midland, the 174th largest radio market, Cumulus completed the
acquisition of New Frontier Communications, Inc. from its shareholder group for
$14 million.  New Frontier is the owner and operator of 4 FM and 1 AM stations,
including KBAT(FM), KODM(FM), KNFM(FM), KGEE(FM), and KMND(AM).  Three of the
four FM stations broadcast with 100 kW, with KGEE(FM) at 98 kW.  Cumulus is
adding the Odessa-Midland stations to its West Texas regional cluster, which
includes stations in Abilene, Amarillo, and Wichita Falls.

     Cumulus Media Inc. is a radio broadcasting company focused on the
acquisition, operation and development of radio stations in mid-sized and
smaller radio markets in the U.S.  The Company currently owns or operates  111
radio stations in 22 U.S. radio markets.   Including all stations owned and
pending, Cumulus controls 176 stations in 34 markets making it the nation's 4th
largest radio broadcaster in terms of stations.  Cumulus recently completed an
initial public offering and the sale of public preferred stock and bonds for
total gross proceeds of $394 million.  Richard Weening is Executive Chairman of
Cumulus.  William Bungeroth is President of Cumulus' operating subsidiary,
