ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") and Article SEVENTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
provide for indemnification of the Company's directors and officers in a
variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities
Act. Article SEVENTH provides that unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, the Company shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by the laws of Delaware as from time to time in effect, the persons
described in Section 145 of the DGCL.

                  The general effect of the provisions in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL is to provide that the Company shall
indemnify its directors and officers against all liabilities and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of any judicial or administrative proceedings in which they have become
involved by reason of their status as corporate directors or officers, if they
acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that their conduct was
neither unlawful (in the case of criminal proceedings) nor inconsistent with
the best interests of the Company. With respect to legal proceedings by or in
the right of the Company in which a director or officer ajudged liable for
improper performance of his duty to the Company or another enterprise for
which such person served in a similar capacity at the request of the Company,
indemnification is limited by such provisions to that amount which is
permitted by the court.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.


                  (a)      The undersigned hereby undertakes:

                  (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                           (i)      To include any prospectus required by
                  Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
                  "Securities Act");

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                  events arising after the effective date of the registration
                  statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                  thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
                  a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                  registration statement; and

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in the registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.

                  (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
     registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
     benefit plan's Annual Report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
     Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
     Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
     the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
     registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
     indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
     therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
     against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
     expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
     the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
     proceeding) is

     asserted by such director, officer or controlling
     person in connection with the securities being
     registered, the registrant will, unless in the
     opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
     by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
     indemnification by it is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
     final adjudication of such issue.

REOFFER PROSPECTUS


                     REOFFER PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 30, 1996

                            KATZ MEDIA GROUP, INC.

                                 COMMON STOCK

                        BY CERTAIN SELLING SHAREHOLDERS


                  This Reoffer Prospectus relates to 18,750 shares of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of Katz Media Group, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, which may be offered for sale from time to
time by certain stockholders listed under the heading "Selling Shareholders"
herein (the "Selling Shareholders") for their own benefit, certain of whom may
be deemed an "affiliate" of the Company under Rule 405 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933. Said persons acquired the Company's Common Stock
through participation in the Company's 1996 Restricted Stock Grant Plan. It is
anticipated that the Selling Shareholders will offer the Shares for sale at
prevailing prices on the American Stock Exchange on the date of sale. The
Company will receive no part of the proceeds of sales made hereunder. All
expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering are being
borne by the Company, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the
Selling Shareholders will be borne by the Selling Shareholders.

                  The Selling Shareholders and any broker executing selling
orders on behalf of the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), in which event commissions received by such broker may
be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.

                  The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the American
Stock Exchange. On May 29, 1996, the last trading date before the date of this
Reoffer Prospectus, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock, as
reported by the American Stock Exchange was $14 1/4 (symbol: KTZ).

            THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY
        THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
          COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
              OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
             ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS REOFFER PROSPECTUS. ANY
             REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                  No person is authorized to give any information or to make
any representations, other than those contained in this Reoffer Prospectus, in
connection with the offering described herein, and, if given or made, such
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the Company or the Selling Shareholders. This Reoffer Prospectus
does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy,
nor shall there be any sale of these securities by any person in any
jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such offer,
solicitation or sale. Neither the delivery of this Reoffer Prospectus nor any
sale made hereunder shall under any circumstances create an implication that
the information contained herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the
date hereof.

interest of such persons in transactions with the Company will be disclosed in

imply that information herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the date

                             PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

         Any shares of Common Stock sold pursuant to this Reoffer Prospectus
will be sold by the Selling Shareholders for their own account, and they will
receive all proceeds from any such sales. The Company will receive none of the
proceeds from the sale of shares which may be offered hereby but may receive
funds upon the exercise of the options pursuant to which the Selling
Shareholders will acquire the shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus, which
funds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes. The Selling
Shareholders have not advised the Company of any specific plans for the
distribution of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus,
but, if and when shares are sold, it is anticipated that the shares will be
sold from time to time primarily in transactions on the American Stock
Exchange at the market price then prevailing, although sales may also be made
in negotiated transactions or otherwise. If shares of Common Stock are sold
through brokers, the Selling Shareholders may pay customary brokerage
commissions and charges. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions
by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that
act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder might be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of
1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of
shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under such Act. Shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer
Prospectus also may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933 rather than pursuant this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Shareholders
have been advised that they are subject to the applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including without limitation Rules 10b-5,
10b-6 and 10b-7 thereunder.

         There can be no assurances that the Selling Shareholders will sell
any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereunder.

ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

                  Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") and Article SEVENTH of the Company's Certificate of Incorporation
provide for indemnification of the Company's directors and officers in a
variety of circumstances, which may include liabilities under the Securities
Act. Article SEVENTH provides that unless otherwise determined by the Board of
Directors of the Company, the Company shall indemnify, to the full extent
permitted by the laws of Delaware as from time to time in effect, the persons
described in Section 145 of the DGCL.

                  The general effect of the provisions in the Company's
Certificate of Incorporation and the DGCL is to provide that the Company shall
indemnify its directors and officers against all liabilities and expenses
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement
of any judicial or administrative proceedings in which they have become
involved by reason of their status as corporate directors or officers, if they
acted in good faith and in the reasonable belief that their conduct was
neither unlawful (in the case of criminal proceedings) nor inconsistent with
the best interests of the Company. With respect to legal proceedings by or in
the right of the Company in which a director or officer ajudged liable for
improper performance of his duty to the Company or another enterprise for
which such person served in a similar capacity at the request of the Company,
indemnification is limited by such provisions to that amount which is
permitted by the court.

ITEM 7.  EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

ITEM 9.  UNDERTAKINGS.

                  (a)      The undersigned hereby undertakes:

                  (1) to file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

                           (i)      To include any prospectus required by
                  Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the
                  "Securities Act");

                           (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or
                  events arising after the effective date of the registration
                  statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
                  thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent
                  a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
                  registration statement; and

                           (iii) To include any material information with
                  respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed
                  in the registration statement or any material change to such
                  information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if
the information to be included in a post-effective amendment by those
paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the registrant pursuant
to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by
reference in the registration statement.

                  (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof; and

                  (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

(b)  The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
     determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
     registrant's Annual Report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
     the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
     benefit plan's Annual Report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
     Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement
     shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
     securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)  Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities
     Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
     the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the
     registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
     indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
     therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
     against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of
     expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of
     the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
     proceeding) is

asserted by such director, officer or controlling
     person in connection with the securities being
     registered, the registrant will, unless in the
     opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
     by controlling precedent, submit to a court of
     appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
     indemnification by it is against public policy as
     expressed in the Act and will be governed by the
     final adjudication of such issue.

REOFFER PROSPECTUS

                     REOFFER PROSPECTUS DATED MAY 30, 1996

                            KATZ MEDIA GROUP, INC.

                                 COMMON STOCK

                        BY CERTAIN SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

                  This Reoffer Prospectus relates to 18,750 shares of Common
Stock, $0.01 par value ("Common Stock"), of Katz Media Group, Inc. (the
"Company"), a Delaware corporation, which may be offered for sale from time to
time by certain stockholders listed under the heading "Selling Shareholders"
herein (the "Selling Shareholders") for their own benefit, certain of whom may
be deemed an "affiliate" of the Company under Rule 405 promulgated under the
Securities Act of 1933. Said persons acquired the Company's Common Stock
through participation in the Company's 1996 Restricted Stock Grant Plan. It is
anticipated that the Selling Shareholders will offer the Shares for sale at
prevailing prices on the American Stock Exchange on the date of sale. The
Company will receive no part of the proceeds of sales made hereunder. All
expenses of registration incurred in connection with this offering are being
borne by the Company, but all selling and other expenses incurred by the
Selling Shareholders will be borne by the Selling Shareholders.

                  The Selling Shareholders and any broker executing selling
orders on behalf of the Selling Shareholders may be deemed to be an
"underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Securities Act"), in which event commissions received by such broker may
be deemed to be underwriting commissions under the Securities Act.

                  The Common Stock of the Company is traded on the American
Stock Exchange. On May 29, 1996, the last trading date before the date of this
Reoffer Prospectus, the closing price of the Company's Common Stock, as
reported by the American Stock Exchange was $14 1/4 (symbol: KTZ).

            THE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY
        THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR ANY STATE SECURITIES
          COMMISSION, NOR HAS THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION
              OR ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION PASSED UPON THE
             ACCURACY OR ADEQUACY OF THIS REOFFER PROSPECTUS. ANY
             REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS A CRIMINAL OFFENSE.

                  No person is authorized to give any information or to make
any representations, other than those contained in this Reoffer Prospectus, in
connection with the offering described herein, and, if given or made, such
information or representations must not be relied upon as having been
authorized by the Company or the Selling Shareholders. This Reoffer Prospectus
does not constitute an offer to sell, or a solicitation of any offer to buy,
nor shall there be any sale of these securities by any person in any
jurisdiction in which it is unlawful for such person to make such offer,
solicitation or sale. Neither the delivery of this Reoffer Prospectus nor any
sale made hereunder shall under any circumstances create an implication that
the information contained herein is correct as of any time subsequent to the
date hereof.

proceeds from the sale of shares which may be offered hereby but may receive
funds upon the exercise of the options pursuant to which the Selling
Shareholders will acquire the shares covered by this Reoffer Prospectus, which
funds, if any, will be used for general corporate purposes. The Selling
Shareholders have not advised the Company of any specific plans for the
distribution of the shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer Prospectus,
but, if and when shares are sold, it is anticipated that the shares will be
sold from time to time primarily in transactions on the American Stock
Exchange at the market price then prevailing, although sales may also be made
in negotiated transactions or otherwise. If shares of Common Stock are sold
through brokers, the Selling Shareholders may pay customary brokerage
commissions and charges. The Selling Shareholders may effect such transactions
by selling shares to or through broker-dealers, and such broker-dealers may
receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from
the Selling Shareholders and/or the purchasers of shares for whom such
broker-dealers may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both
(which compensation as to a particular broker-dealer might be in excess of
customary commissions). The Selling Shareholders and any broker-dealers that
act in connection with the sale of the shares hereunder might be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of
1933, and any commissions received by them and any profit on the resale of
shares as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts and
commissions under such Act. Shares of Common Stock covered by this Reoffer
Prospectus also may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933 rather than pursuant this Reoffer Prospectus. The Selling Shareholders
have been advised that they are subject to the applicable provisions of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including without limitation Rules 10b-5,
10b-6 and 10b-7 thereunder.

         There can be no assurances that the Selling Shareholders will sell
any or all of the shares of Common Stock offered hereunder.
