     This  Amendment No. 6 amends the statement on Schedule 13D filed

Cumulus Media Inc., 14 Piedmont Center, Suite 1400, Atlanta,  Georgia
30305.

     The  Schedule  13D was  originally  filed on July 7,  1998  (the

corporation   ("NBCC"),   NationsBank,   N.A.,  a  national   banking
association,  NB Holdings Corporation,  a Delaware  corporation,  and

persons  reported,  among  other  things,  NBCC's  direct  beneficial
ownership of 3,371,246  shares of the Company's  Class B Common Stock
(which are  convertible  into shares of the Company's  Class A Common
Stock on a one-for-one basis).

     Amendment  No. 1 to the  Schedule  13D was filed on  December 3,

Amendment  No. 1,  these  reporting  persons  reported,  among  other
things,  that  (a) NBCC  had  previously  merged  into BA  Capital in
connection  with the  merger of  NationsBank  with  Bank of  America,
(b) such  reporting  persons had become the beneficial  owners of the
shares of the  Company's  Class B Common Stock owned by NBCC,  (c) BA

Management SBIC I, LLC ("Capital  Management SBIC"),  Banc of America
Capital  Management,  L.P., a Delaware limited  partnership  formerly
known  as  BancAmerica   Capital   Management  I,  L.P.("BA   Capital
Management"),  and  BACM I GP,  LLC,  a  Delaware  limited  liability
company  ("BACM").  In  Amendment  No.  2,  these  reporting  persons
reported,   among  other  things,   that  (a)  the  Company,   Aurora
Communications,  LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Aurora")
that was  approximately  73% owned by BACI,  BACI and  certain  other
parties  had  entered  into  agreements  relating  to  the  Company's
proposed  acquisition of Aurora (the "Aurora  Acquisition"),  and (b)
upon the completion of the Aurora  Acquisition,  the owners of Aurora
would be issued  shares  of the  Company's  Class A Common  Stock and
Class B Common Stock,  would be issued warrants to purchase shares of
the  Company's  Class A Common  Stock  and  Class B Common  Stock and
would be paid cash.

     Amendment  No. 3 to the  Schedule 13D was filed on April 3, 2002
("Amendment   No.  3")  to  report  the   completion  of  the  Aurora
Acquisition  on March  28,  2002  (the  "Aurora  Closing  Date").  In
connection  with the  closing  of the  Aurora  Acquisition,  BACI was
issued  8,944,339  shares of the  Company's  Class B Common Stock and
warrants to purchase  706,424 shares of the Company's  Class A Common
Stock or Class B Common Stock, at BACI's election.

     Amendment  No. 4 to the Schedule 13D was filed on March 27, 2003
("Amendment  No. 4") to report the  exercise  by BACI of a warrant to
purchase shares of the Company's stock and to voluntarily  report the
grant of options to BA Capital's  designee on the Company's  board of
directors,  which options may be deemed to be  beneficially  owned by
BA  Capital.  Amendment  No.  4 also  voluntarily  reported  that  J.
Travis  Hain had  replaced  Walter W.  Walker,  Jr.  as the  managing
member of BA Equity  Management  GP and the  managing  member of BACM
effective on September 1, 2002.

     Amendment  No. 5 to the  Schedule  13D was filed on  February 8,
2006  ("Amendment  No.  5") to  report  the  grant of  options  to BA
Capital's  designee  on  the  Company's  board  of  directors,  which
options may be deemed to be beneficially owned by BA Capital,  and to
reflect the vesting of certain options.

     This Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D  ("Amendment No. 6") is

Item 3.  Source and amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

     As  described  in the  Original  Schedule  13D,  NBCC  purchased
preferred  shares of a predecessor to the Company at various times in
1997 and 1998 with cash.  These preferred  shares were converted into
Class B Common Stock of the Company in connection  with the Company's
initial  public  offering  in 1998.  Funds for the  purchase of these
preferred  shares were provided from the working  capital of NBCC and
its affiliates.

     BACI  purchased  shares of common and preferred  stock in Aurora
Management,  Inc., a member of Aurora owning approximately 73% of its
membership  interests,  at various  times  between 1999 and 2001 with
cash.  On the  Aurora  Closing  Date,  these  shares  of  common  and
preferred   stock  were  converted  into  8,944,339   shares  of  the
Company's  Class B Common  Stock and  warrants  to  purchase  706,424
shares  of the  Company's  Class A  Common  Stock  or  Class B Common
Stock.  Funds for BACI's  purchase of shares of common and  preferred
stock in Aurora  Management,  Inc.  were  provided  from the  working
capital of BACI and its  affiliates.  On March 27, 2003, BACI elected
to   exercise   the  warrant  it  received  as  part  of  the  Aurora
Acquisition  in exchange for shares of the  Company's  Class B Common
Stock. As a result,  BACI currently  holds 9,650,763  shares of Class
B Common  Stock.  Funds for the  purchase  of the shares  issued upon
exercise of the warrant  were  provided  from the working  capital of
BACI and its affiliates.

     BA Capital holds options  exercisable within 60 days to purchase
105,000 shares of Class A Common Stock, and Robert H. Sheridan,  III,
a member  of the  Company's  board  of  directors  and a senior  vice
president  and  managing  director of the general  partner of both BA
Capital  and  BACI,  holds  options  exercisable  within  60  days to
purchase  110,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.  BA Capital has the
right to  designate  one member of the  Company's  board of directors
and   Mr. Sheridan   currently  serves  on  the  Company's  board  of
directors as BA Capital's  designee.  These  options were received in
consideration  of  Mr.  Sheridan's  board  service  on  behalf  of BA
Capital,  and no additional  consideration  was paid by BA Capital to
the Company in exchange  for such  options.  Pursuant to the policies
of BA Capital  and its  affiliates,  Mr.  Sheridan  is deemed to hold
these options for the benefit of BA Capital.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

     NBCC purchased  preferred shares of a predecessor to the Company
for investment purposes.  As a result of this investment,  BA Capital
now holds (i) 840,250 shares of Class A Common Stock,  (ii) 1,979,996
shares of Class B Common Stock (which are convertible  into shares of
Class A Common Stock on a  one-for-one  basis) and  (iii) options  to
purchase  265,000  shares of Class A Common  Stock,  215,000 of which
are  currently  exercisable.  BA Capital holds these  securities  for
investment purposes.

     BACI  purchased  shares of common and preferred  stock in Aurora
Management,  Inc., a member of Aurora owning approximately 73% of its
membership  interests,  for investment  purposes.  In connection with
the  closing of the Aurora  Acquisition,  these  shares of common and
preferred  stock  were  converted  on the  Aurora  Closing  Date into
8,944,339  shares of the Company's  Class B Common Stock and warrants
to purchase  706,424 shares of the Company's  Class A Common Stock or
Class B Common  Stock.  Following  the  exercise of the  warrant,  on
March 27,  2003,  in exchange  for  706,424  shares of Class B Common
Stock,  BACI  currently  holds  9,650,763  shares  of  Class B Common
Stock.  BACI holds these securities for investment purposes.

     The Reporting Persons may acquire  additional  securities of the
Company from time to time in the future,  subject to certain factors,
including  without  limitation  (i)  applicable  securities  laws and
governmental  restrictions  on the  number of voting  securities  the
Reporting  Persons  may hold,  (ii) market  conditions  and (iii) the
Reporting  Persons'  assessment  of the business and prospects of the
Company.

     The Reporting  Persons are continuously  evaluating the business

decide  to  dispose  of  any or all  of  the  shares  of the  Company
currently  owned by them as well as  securities  they may  acquire in
the future.

     On May 9,  2006,  BA  Capital  and  BACI  entered  into a  stock
purchase  agreement  with the  Company  pursuant to which the Company
agreed to purchase an aggregate of 4.5 million  shares Class B Common

impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person;

     (h) causing a class of  securities of the Company to be delisted
from a national  securities  exchange or to cease to be authorized to
be  quoted  in  an  inter-dealer  quotation  system  of a  registered
national securities association;

     (i) a  class  of  equity  securities  of  the  Company  becoming
eligible  for  termination  of   registration   pursuant  to  Section
12(g)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; or

     (j) any action similar to any of those enumerated above.

     The Reporting  Persons  intend to evaluate  their  investment in
the  Company  continuously  and may,  based  on any such  evaluation,
determine  at a future date to change  their  current  position  with
respect to any action enumerated above.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

     (a)(i)  This  Amendment  No. 6 relates to  12,686,009  shares of
the  Company's  Class  A  Common  Stock,  representing  21.4%  of the
Company's  outstanding  shares  of Class A Common  Stock and 19.3% of
the voting power (which  percentages  are  calculated  in  accordance
with Rule  13d-3(d)(1)).  BA Capital  currently  holds 840,250 shares
of Class A Common  Stock,  1,979,996  shares of Class B Common  Stock
and  options  to  purchase  265,000  shares of Class A Common  Stock,
215,000 of which are currently  exercisable.  BA Capital beneficially
owns 3,035,246  shares,  or 6.1%, of Class A Common Stock (determined
in  accordance   with  Rule   13d-3(d)(1)).   BACI  currently   holds
9,650,763  shares of Class B Common  Stock.  BACI  beneficially  owns
9,650,763  shares,  or 16.9%, of Class A Common Stock  (determined in
accordance  with  Rule   13d-3(d)(1)).   No  other  Reporting  Person
directly  holds any  Common  Stock of the  Company  or any  rights to
acquire any such common stock.

     Except as may otherwise be required by Delaware  corporate  law,
shares  of Class A Common  Stock,  Class B Common  Stock  and Class C
Common  stock vote  together  as a single  class when such shares are
entitled  to vote.  Shares of Class B Common  Stock  are  convertible
into  shares  of  Class A Common  Stock or Class C Common  Stock on a
one-for-one  basis.  Shares of Class C Common  Stock are  convertible
into shares of Class A Common Stock on a  one-for-one  basis.  Shares
of Class A Common  Stock are  entitled to one vote per share,  shares
of Class C Common  Stock  are  entitled  to ten  votes  per share and
shares  of Class B Common  Stock  have no  voting  rights  except  in
specified  instances  required  by Delaware  corporate  law or by the
Company's  articles of  incorporation.  Upon  conversion of any share
of Class B  Common  Stock  into a share  of  Class C Common  Stock by
certain  shareholders of the Company  (including BA Capital),  shares
of Class C  Common  Stock  become  entitled  to one  vote per  share,
rather than ten votes per share.

     The 840,250 shares of Class A Common Stock  currently held by BA
Capital represent 1.8% of the Company's  outstanding  shares of Class
A Common  Stock.  If BA Capital  were to  (A) convert  its  1,979,996
shares of Class B Common  Stock into an  equivalent  number of shares
of Class A Common Stock and  (B) exercise  its currently  exercisable
options to  purchase  215,000  shares of Class A Common  Stock and if
BACI were to convert  its  9,650,763  shares of Class B Common  Stock
into an  equivalent  number  of shares  of Class A Common  Stock,  BA
Capital  and BACI would  together  own  12,686,009  shares of Class A
Common Stock,  representing  21.4% of the Company's then  outstanding
shares of Class A Common Stock and 19.3% of the voting power.

     The  12,686,009  shares  of  Class A Common  Stock  beneficially
owned  by BA  Capital  and  BACI  represent  21.2%  of the  Company's
outstanding  shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and
Class C Common Stock  considered  in the  aggregate  and 19.3% of the
voting  power (or,  if the Class C Common  Stock is  entitled  to one
vote per share, 21.2% of the voting power).

     (ii)All   information   herein   relating   to   the   currently
outstanding  number of shares of the Company's  Class A Common Stock,
Class B Common  Stock and Class C Common  Stock is  derived  from the
Company's  Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended
March 31, 2006.  Accordingly,  the Reporting Persons have assumed for
purposes of this Amendment No. 6 that there are 47,302,508  shares of
Class A  Common  Stock  outstanding,  11,630,759  shares  of  Class B
Common Stock  outstanding  and 644,871 shares of Class C Common Stock
outstanding,  or a total  of  59,578,138  shares  of all  classes  of
Common Stock outstanding.
