into the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 19, 1997 (the

Broadcasting Company, a subsidiary of Chancellor ("Radio Broadcasting").

   The descriptions of the Merger Agreement and the Stockholders Agreement

agreements, which are filed herewith as Exhibits 99(a) and 99(b), respectively.



                                       Page 6
<PAGE>

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

   The purpose of the Stockholders Agreement is to facilitate the merger of
Chancellor and Radio Broadcasting with and into the Company (the "Merger"), with
the Company surviving the Merger (as such, the "Surviving Corporation"),
pursuant to and upon the terms of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement
provides, among other things, for changes to the board of directors and
certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company at the effective time of
the Merger. At the effective time, the holders of the Class A Common Stock will
be entitled to receive one share of the Common Stock, $0.01 par value, of the
Surviving Corporation.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

         (a) As of the close of business on February 19, 1997, the Filing
   Parties may each be deemed to have beneficially owned 3,114,066 shares of the
   Class A Common Stock of the Company by virtue of the Principal Stockholder's
   beneficial ownership of 3,114,066 shares of the Class B Common Stock, $0.01
   par value ("Class B Common Stock"), of the Company and the terms of the
   Stockholders Agreement. The Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time
   by the Principal Stockholder into Class A Common Stock at the rate of one
   share of Class A Common Stock for each share of Class B Common Stock so
   converted. Assuming the conversion of all shares of Class B Common Stock
   subject to the Stockholders Agreement into shares of Class A Common Stock,
   the aggregate number of shares of Class A Common Stock covered by this
   Schedule 13D represent approximately 7.38% of the outstanding shares of Class
   A Common Stock.

         Based upon the terms of the Company's restated certificate of
   incorporation, as amended, the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B
   Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote on most matters submitted to
   stockholders (including the Merger) vote as a single class, with each share
   of Class A Common Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common
   Stock entitled to ten votes. Therefore, as a result of the terms of the
   Stockholders Agreement described in paragraph (b) below, the Filing Parties
   may be deemed to have shared voting power representing approximately 44.33%
   of the outstanding voting power of the Company.

         (b) Of the 3,114,066 shares of Class B Common Stock for which the
   Filing Parties may be deemed to have shared voting power, 3,108,366 shares
   are held of record by the Principal Stockholder individually and 5,700 shares
   are held


                                       Page 7
<PAGE>

   of record by the Principal Stockholder as custodian for his children.

         Pursuant to the terms of the Stockholders Agreement, the Principal
   Stockholder has agreed, subject to certain terms and conditions, to vote all
   shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock owned by him on the
   date thereof, together with any shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B
   Common Stock thereafter acquired, (i) in favor of the approval of the Merger
   Agreement, the Merger and the transactions contemplated by the Merger
   Agreement and (ii) against any Acquisition Proposal (as defined in the Merger
   Agreement) or any other action or agreement that would result in a breach of
   any covenant, representation or warranty or other obligation or agreement of
   the Company under the Merger Agreement or which would result in any of the
   conditions to the Company's obligations under the Merger Agreement not being
   fulfilled. In addition, in order to effect the agreements contained in the
   Stockholders Agreement, the Principal Stockholder granted an irrevocable
   proxy to each of Mr. Hicks and Mr. Stuart to vote the shares of Class A
   Common Stock and Class B Common Stock covered by the Stockholders Agreement
   in favor of the approval of the Merger Agreement and Merger at the meeting of
   the Company's stockholders called for the purpose of considering the Merger.
   Therefore, by virtue of the agreements contained in the Stockholders
   Agreement and the limited proxy to vote the shares of Class A Common Stock
   and Class B Common Stock subject to the Stockholders Agreement, each of the
   Filing Parties may be deemed to have acquired shared voting power with
   respect to all of such shares as to the limited matters covered by the
   Stockholders Agreement.

   Each of the Filing Parties disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of
   Class A Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D not owned by him or it of
   record.

         (c)   See paragraph (b) above.

         (d)   None.

         (e)   Not applicable.
