     Clear Channel did not pay any additional consideration to Barry A. Ackerley
("Ackerley") in connection with the execution and delivery of the Voting
Agreement and Proxy, both of which are described in Item 4 below.

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

     (a) (b) Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of October 5,
2001 (the "Merger Agreement"), among Clear Channel, CCMM Merger Sub, Inc., a
Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel ("Merger
Sub"), and the Company, and subject to the conditions set forth therein
(including approval by the stockholders of the Company), Merger Sub will be
merged with and into the Company (the "Merger"). The separate corporate
existence of Merger Sub will cease. The Company will be the surviving company in
the Merger and will continue its corporate existence as a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Clear Channel and will continue to be governed by the laws of the
State of Delaware.

     The Merger Agreement provides that, at the effective time of the Merger and
without any action on the part of the stockholders, each share of the Common
Stock and the Class B common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B
Common Stock"), shall be treated as follows (subject to the treatment of
fractional shares of Clear Channel common stock described below):

     o    each share of the Common Stock and each share of the Class B Common
          Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time
          of the Merger will be converted into the right to receive 0.35 of a
          share of Clear Channel Common Stock, par value $.10 per share (the
          "Clear Channel Common Stock");

     o    each outstanding option to purchase shares of the Common Stock and
          Class B Common Stock granted under the Company's stock option plans or
          otherwise, which is outstanding immediately prior to the effective
          time of the Merger, whether or not then exercisable, will vest and
          become exercisable and will be assumed by Clear Channel and deemed to
          constitute an option to acquire, on the same terms and conditions as
          were applicable under such option or agreement prior to the effective
          time of the Merger (including without limitation adjustments for any
          stock dividend, subdivision, reclassification, recapitalization,
          split, combination, exchange of shares or similar transaction), the
          number of shares of Clear Channel Common Stock as the holder of such
          option would be entitled to pursuant to the Merger had the holder
          exercised such option in full immediately prior to the effective time
          of the Merger; and



                                                              PAGE 6 OF 14 PAGES

CUSIP NO. 004527107

     o    each share of the Common Stock and Class B Common Stock held in the
          treasury of the Company or by any of the Company's subsidiaries or by
          Clear Channel or any of Clear Channel's subsidiaries will be canceled
          and extinguished without any conversion or payment made with respect
          to such shares.

     No fractional shares of Clear Channel Common Stock will be issued in the
Merger. In lieu of any fractional shares of Clear Channel Common Stock, each
holder of shares of Common Stock and Class B Common Stock who would otherwise
have been entitled to a fraction of a share of Clear Channel Common Stock
pursuant to the Merger Agreement will be paid an amount in cash, without
interest, equal to such holder's fractional share interest multiplied by the
average of the closing prices for a share of Clear Channel Common Stock on the
New York Stock Exchange for the five trading days prior to the closing of the
Merger.

     The description contained in this Item 4 of the transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full
text of the Merger Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference and
filed as Exhibit 99(a) hereto.

     As an inducement to Clear Channel to enter into the Merger Agreement,
Ackerley has entered into a Voting and Stockholder Support Agreement, dated
October 5, 2001 (the "Voting Agreement"), with Clear Channel, pursuant to which
he agreed to vote, until the date the Merger is effectuated or the date the
Merger Agreement is terminated, as the case may be, 9,002,855 shares of the
Common Stock, which are either held of record by Ackerley or over which he may
be deemed to be the beneficial owner of pursuant to Rule 13d-3(a) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"):

     o    in favor of the Merger and the Merger Agreement;

     o    against any action that is reasonably likely to result in a breach in
          any material respect of any covenant, representation or warranty or
          any other obligation of the Company under the Merger Agreement;

     o    against any offer or proposal for, or any indication of interest in
          (whether or not in writing and whether or not delivered to the
          Company's stockholders generally), from any person relating to any (i)
          direct or indirect acquisition or purchase of a business that
          constitutes 15% or more of the net revenues, net income or the assets
          of the Company and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, (ii) direct or
          indirect acquisition or purchase of 15% or more of any class of equity
          securities of the Company or any of its subsidiaries whose business
          constitutes 15% or more of the net revenues, net income or assets of
          the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole (each a "Material
          Subsidiary"), (iii) tender offer or exchange offer that if consummated
          would result in any person beneficially owning 15% more of any class
          of equity securities of the Company or of any of its Material
          Subsidiaries, or (iv) merger, consolidation, business combination,
          recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution, share exchange or similar
          transaction involving the Company or any of its Material Subsidiaries,
          other than the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (each
          an "Acquisition Proposal"); and

     o    to the extent such action is reasonably likely to materially impede,
          interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or the
          Merger Agreement in any material respect,

               --   against any change in a majority of the Company's board of
                    directors other than in connection with an annual meeting of
                    the Company's stockholders with respect to the slate of
                    directors proposed by the incumbent board of directors (in
                    which case Ackerley agrees to vote for the slate proposed by
                    the incumbent board of directors), or

               --   against any material change in the Company's corporate
                    structure or business (except for those actions contemplated
                    by the Merger Agreement).



                                                              PAGE 7 OF 14 PAGES

CUSIP NO. 004527107

     In connection with the Voting Agreement, Ackerley also agreed to deliver to
Clear Channel an Irrevocable Proxy (the "Proxy") coupled with an interest with
respect to such 9,002,855 shares of Common Stock, thereby allowing Clear Channel
to vote such shares at any time prior to the date the Merger is effectuated or
the date the Merger Agreement is terminated, as the case may be, in accordance
with the terms of the Voting Agreement.

     If (i) any of the shares of Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreement or
any shares of Class B Common Stock held by Ackerley or deemed to be beneficially
owned by Ackerley are disposed of in connection with any Acquisition Proposal,
or (ii) the amount of Merger consideration to be received by the holders of
Common Stock and Class B Common Stock is increased, Ackerley has agreed to pay
to Clear Channel or waive the right to be paid (in the event of an increase in
Merger consideration, if Clear Channel so requests) a certain percentage of the
profits from such alternative transaction or increase in Merger consideration,
as the case may be.

     In addition, Ackerley, pursuant to the terms of the Voting Agreement, may
not, unless contemplated by the Merger Agreement, without Clear Channel's
consent:

     o    offer for sale, sell, transfer, tender, pledge, encumber, assign or
          otherwise dispose of, or enter into any contract, option or other
          arrangement with respect to or consent to the offer for sale, sale,
          transfer, tender, pledge, encumbrance, assignment or other disposition
          of, any or all of his Common Stock, or any interest therein;

     o    grant any proxies or powers of attorney, deposit any of his Common
          Stock into a voting trust or enter into a voting agreement with
          respect to any of such Common Stock;

     o    enter into an agreement or arrangement providing for any of the
          actions described above;

     o    take any action that would reasonably be expected to have the effect
          of preventing or disabling Ackerley from performing his obligations
          under the Voting Agreement; or

     o    request that the Company register the transfer of any certificated or
          uncertificated interest representing any of his Common Stock (other
          than as contemplated by the Voting Agreement).

     The description contained in this Item 4 of the transactions contemplated
by the Voting Agreement and Proxy are qualified in their entirety by reference
to the full text of the Voting Agreement and Proxy, both of which are
incorporated herein by reference and filed as Exhibit 99(b) hereto.

     (c) Not applicable.

     (d) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Clear Channel and the board of directors of Merger Sub shall
become the directors of the Company.

     (e) None, other than as a result of the Merger, the Company will become a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Clear Channel.



                                                              PAGE 8 OF 14 PAGES

CUSIP NO. 004527107

     (f) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Company will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Clear Channel.

     (g) Upon consummation of the Merger, the bylaws of Merger Sub shall become
the bylaws of the Company.

     (h) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Common Stock will cease to be
quoted on any quotation system or exchange.

     (i) Upon consummation of the Merger, the Common Stock will become eligible
for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Exchange
Act.

     (j) Other as than described above, Clear Channel currently has no plan or
proposals which relate to, or may result in, any of the matters listed in Items
4(a)-(j) of Schedule 13D.

     Notwithstanding the foregoing, Clear Channel and CCI reserve the right to
acquire, or cause to be acquired, additional securities of the Company, to
dispose of, or cause to be disposed, such securities at any time or to formulate
other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Company or any of its
securities, to the extent deemed advisable in light of general investment and
trading policies of Clear Channel and CCI, market conditions or other factors.

ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER

     (a) and (b) Clear Channel may be deemed, solely for the purpose of Rule
13d-3 of the Exchange Act, to beneficially own, in the aggregate, 10,172,855
shares of the Common Stock, which represent 42.2% of the outstanding Common
Stock, by virtue of CCI's ownership of 1,170,000 shares of the Common Stock and
the 9,002,855 shares of Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreement and Proxy.

     Clear Channel may be deemed, solely for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 of the
Exchange Act, to be the beneficial owner of, and have shared dispositive and
voting power over 1,170,000 shares of Common Stock held by CCI, which represent
4.9% of the outstanding Common Stock. Pursuant to the Voting Agreement and
Proxy, Clear Channel may be deemed, solely for the purposed of Rule 13d-3 of the
Exchange Act, to be the beneficial owner of, and share voting power over an
additional 9,002,855 shares of Common Stock with Ackerley, which represent 37.4%
of the outstanding Common Stock.

     Based upon the terms of the Company's fourth restated certificate of
incorporation, the outstanding shares of Common Stock and the Class B Common
Stock are entitled to vote on matters submitted to stockholders as a single
class (except as otherwise required by Delaware law), with each share of Common
Stock entitled to one vote and each share of Class B Common Stock entitled to
ten votes. Therefore, the 10,172,855 shares of Common Stock which may be deemed,
solely for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, to be beneficially
owned by Clear Channel represent, in the aggregate, 7.6% of the outstanding
voting power of the Company; the 1,170,000 shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by (or which may be deemed, solely for the purpose of Rule 13d-3 of the
Exchange Act, to be beneficially owned by) Clear Channel and CCI and over which
Clear Channel and CCI may be deemed to share voting and dispositive power
represent approximately 0.9% of the outstanding voting power of the Company; and
the 9,002,855 shares of Common Stock which may be deemed, solely for the purpose
of Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act, to be beneficially owned by Clear Channel and
over which Clear Channel and Ackerley may be deemed to share voting power
represent approximately 6.7% of the outstanding voting power of the Company.
