Time Brokerage Agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of July 1,1996, by
and among North Shore Broadcasting Corporation ("North Shore") and Seashore
Broadcasting Corporation ("Seashore"), both New Jersey corporations (hereinafter
referred to as "Licensees") and Nassau Broadcasting Partners, L.P., a Delaware
Limited Partnership (the "Broker").

WITNESSETH:

WHEREAS, North Shore is authorized to operate Radio Station WOBM (AM),
licensed to Lakewood, New Jersey, and Seashore is authorized to operate Radio
Station WOBM (FM), licensed to Toms River, New Jersey (hereinafter collectively
referred to as the "Stations"), pursuant to licenses issued by the Federal
Communications Commission ("FCC");

WHEREAS, all owners of the issued and outstanding shares of the capital
stock of the Licensees (the "Shareholders") and Broker have entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated of even date herewith (the "Purchase Agreement"),
pursuant to which the Shareholders have agreed to sell to Broker all such shares
of capital stock of the Licensees (the "Shares");

WHEREAS, the parties hereto have carefully considered the FCC's time
brokerage policies and intend that this Agreement in all respects comply with
such policies;

WHEREAS, Licensees desire to enter into this Agreement to provide an
interim source of diverse programming and income to sustain the operations of
the Stations until the Closing under the Purchase Agreement;
<PAGE>

WHEREAS, Broker desires to provide an over-the-air program Service to
Monmouth and Ocean Counties, New Jersey, using the facilities of the Stations;

WHEREAS, Licensees agree to provide time on the Stations to Broker on
terms and conditions that conform to the policies of the Stations and the FCC
for time brokerage arrangements and as set forth herein; and

WHEREAS, Broker agrees to utilize the facilities of the Stations solely to
broadcast programming that conforms with the policies of the Licensees and with
all rules, regulations and policies of the FCC and as set forth herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual covenants herein
contained, the parties hereto have agreed and do agree as follows:

1. Facilities. Licensees agree to make broadcasting transmission
facilities of each of the Stations available to Broker for a minimum of 158
hours per week (the "Minimum"), which will facilitate the broadcasting of
Broker's programs (the "Programs"), which shall originate either from Broker's
own studios or from Licensees' facilities or from other studios contracted for
by Broker. The Programs are described in Attachment I hereto; provided, however,
that the facilities made available to Broker shall not include the Stations'
subcarrier(s) as long as it does not interfere with the principal signal.
Licensees retain all rights to lease its subcarrier(s); provided, however, that
any lease entered into by Licensees shall be terminable by Licensees upon thirty
(30) days notice. Broker and Licensees represent to each other that they have,
and will have throughout the term of this Agreement, the capability of
transmitting either by STL or phone lines from their respective broadcast and
transmission studios.

2. Payments. The compensation to be paid to Licensees for the broadcasting
time shall be the reimbursement of Licensees' expenses as set forth in
Paragraphs 8 and 9, commencing with July 1, 1996 (the "Effective Date"). The
failure of Licensees to demand or insist upon prompt payment in accordance
herewith shall not constitute a waiver of its right to such payment. Licensee
shall pay Broker for any programming, up to the Minimum, produced by it and not
broadcast by the Stations, such amount to be determined by multiplying the Fixed
Stow Payments (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) by the ratio of the amount
of time preempted or not accepted to the total number of broadcast hours up to
the Minimum produced by Broker each month.

and shall terminate upon the earlier of (a) the Closing Date (as that term is
defined in the Purchase Agreement) or (b) the time for termination specified in
this Agreement.

4. Programs. Broker shall furnish or cause to be furnished the artistic
personnel and material for the Programs as provided by this Agreement and all
Programs shall be in good taste and in accordance with the rules, regulations
and policies of the FCC. All Programs shall be prepared and presented in
conformity with the regulations prescribed in Attachment III hereto. All
advertising spots and promotional material or announcements shall comply with
all applicable federal, state and local regulations and policies.
