Dear Gentlemen:

           We have acted as counsel to Jacor Communications, Inc.
(the  "Company"),  an  Ohio corporation, in connection  with  the
registration of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the  Company,
all  of  which  may be issued and sold under the  Company's  1993

filed  by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on August 10, 1995.

          As counsel for the Company, we have made such legal and
factual examinations and inquiries as we deemed advisable for the
purpose of rendering this opinion.  In addition, we have examined
such documents and materials, including the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, Code of Regulations and other corporate records of
the  Company, as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this
opinion.

           On  the  basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that  the 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock being offered for sale
by  the Company are currently validly authorized and, when issued
and  sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will  be
legally  issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares  of  Common
Stock of the Company.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as part
of  the  above-referenced Registration Statement  and  amendments
thereto.

                              Sincerely yours,

               1995 relating to the Jacor Communications, Inc.
               1993 Stock Option Plan

Dear Gentlemen:

           We have acted as counsel to Jacor Communications, Inc.
(the  "Company"),  an  Ohio corporation, in connection  with  the
registration of 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock of the  Company,
all  of  which  may be issued and sold under the  Company's  1993
Stock Option Plan, as set forth in the S-8 Registration Statement
filed  by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
on August 10, 1995.

          As counsel for the Company, we have made such legal and
factual examinations and inquiries as we deemed advisable for the
purpose of rendering this opinion.  In addition, we have examined
such documents and materials, including the Company's Articles of
Incorporation, Code of Regulations and other corporate records of
the  Company, as we have deemed necessary for the purpose of this
opinion.

           On  the  basis of the foregoing, we are of the opinion
that  the 1,250,000 shares of Common Stock being offered for sale
by  the Company are currently validly authorized and, when issued
and  sold as contemplated by the Registration Statement, will  be
legally  issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares  of  Common
Stock of the Company.

          We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as part
of  the  above-referenced Registration Statement  and  amendments
thereto.

                              Sincerely yours,
