Latest move is purchase of 32 Benchmark outlets

Tom Hicks seems intent on taking over the country's radio stations. Last week, the chairman of Hicks, Muse, Tate & Furst Inc. (and ultimate owner of Capstar Broadcasting Partners) said Capstar is buying 32 midsize radio stations from Benchmark Communications for about $173 million (see "Changing Hands," page 42).

Including Hicks's involvement in various other companies, the broadcaster controls-- r will control--196 1/2 radio stations, according to BROADCASTING & CABLE'S count. (The 1/2 is 50% interest in a Florida FM.)
