**Veronis Suhler Handles Sale of Properties to Greater Media, Inc.

New York, NY --July 20, 2001--Four radio stations owned by New Jersey Broadcasting Partners, L.P. have been acquired by Greater Media, Inc. of East Brunswick, NJ, following Federal Communications Commission approval of the sale. Greater Media currently operates two stations in Central New Jersey. Adding stations WDHA-FM and WMTR (AM) both in Morristown, WWTR (AM), in Bridgewater, and WRAT-FM, in Monmouth Ocean, expands Greater Media's presence in central and southern New Jersey, extending its reach into the northern portion of the state.

Commenting on the transaction, President and Chief Operating Officer of Greater Media Peter H. Smyth said, "The combined signals of these four well-established stations, together with our own two successful stations, cover a large and very important segment of the New Jersey market. With six stations broadcasting to demographically significant counties in northern, central and southern New Jersey, Greater Media will extend its reach to millions of new listeners and thousands of new advertisers. This acquisition is a perfect fit with our company's goal of expanding into new markets while strengthening our position in our existing markets."

Marvin L. Shapiro, Managing Director of Veronis Suhler, the merchant bank representing New Jersey Broadcasting, stated: "Greater Media's commitment to providing the New Jersey public with quality radio service made this group of stations an ideal strategic acquisition. Veronis Suhler is pleased to have served the objectives of both companies in effecting this transaction."
