INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and ShareholdersEmmis
Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Communications Corporation (an Indiana Corporation) and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2003, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002. We have also reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Operating Company (an Indiana Corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of Emmis Communications Corporation) and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 2003, and the related condensed consolidated statements of operations and cash flows for the three-month periods ended May 31, 2003 and 2002. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, which will be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.

We have previously audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. We have also audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Emmis Operating Company and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2003, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in shareholders’ equity and cash flows for the year then ended. In our report dated April 11, 2003, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets of Emmis Communications Corporation and Subsidiaries and Emmis Operating Company and Subsidiaries as of February 28, 2003, are fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheets from which they were derived.
