PART I

ITEM 1. BUSINESS

GENERAL

Westwood One, Inc. (the "Company" or "Westwood One") is a leading producer and
distributor of nationally sponsored radio programs and is the nation's second
largest radio network. In addition, the Company owns and operates Westwood One
Broadcasting Services, Inc. ("WBS"), which provides local traffic, news, sports
and weather programming to radio stations and other media outlets in New York,
Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia. Westwood One is managed by Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation pursuant to a five-year Management Agreement which
expires on February 3, 1999.

The Company's principal source of revenue is selling radio time to advertisers
through one of three operating divisions: Westwood One Radio Networks, Westwood
One Entertainment (the "Network Divisions"), and effective March 1996, WBS. The
Company generates revenue principally by its Network Divisions entering into
radio station affiliation agreements to obtain audience and commercial spots and
then selling the spots to national advertisers. WBS generates revenue
principally by selling audience it obtains from radio stations and other media
outlets where it has operations to local as well as national advertisers. The
Company is strategically positioned to provide a broad range of programming and
services which both deliver audience to advertisers and news, talk, sports, and
entertainment programs to radio stations.

Westwood One Radio Networks offers radio stations three traditional news
services, CNN Radio, NBC Radio Network and the Mutual Broadcasting System, plus
youth-oriented network news and entertainment programming from The Source, in
addition to eight 24-hour satellite-delivered continuous play music formats and
weekday and weekend news and entertainment features and programs.

Westwood One Entertainment produces music, sports, talk and special event
programming. These programs include: countdown shows; music and interview
programs; live concert broadcasts; major sporting events (principally covering
the NFL, Notre Dame football and other college football and basketball games);
live, personality intensive talk shows; and exclusive satellite simulcasts with
HBO and other cable networks.

The Company's programs are broadcast in every radio market in the United States
measured by The Arbitron Ratings Company ("Arbitron"), the leading rating
service, as well as being broadcast internationally.

WBS provides radio stations and other media outlets, including television and
cable companies, with local traffic, news, sports and weather programming in New
York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

Westwood One, through its Divisions, enables national advertisers to purchase
advertising time and to have their commercial messages broadcast on radio
stations throughout the United States, reaching demographically defined
listening audiences. The Company delivers both of the major demographic groups
targeted by national advertisers: the 25 to 54-year old adult market and the 12
to 34-year-old youth market. The Company currently sells advertising time to
over 300 national advertisers, including each of the 25 largest network radio
advertisers. Radio stations are able to obtain quality programming from Westwood
One to meet their objective of attracting larger listening audiences and
increasing local advertising revenue. Westwood One, through the development of
internal programming as well as through acquisitions, has developed an extensive
tape library of previously aired programs, interviews, live concert
performances, news and special events.

INDUSTRY BACKGROUND

Radio Broadcasting

As of January 1, 1996, there were approximately 9,750 commercial radio stations
in the United States.

A radio station selects a style of programming ("format") to attract a target
listening audience and thereby attract commercial advertising directed at that
audience. There are many formats from which a station may select, including
news, talk, sports and various types of music and entertainment programming.


1


The diversity in program formats has intensified competition among stations for
local advertising revenue. A radio station has two principal ways of effectively
competing for these revenues. First, it can differentiate itself in its local
market by selecting and successfully executing a format targeted at a particular
audience thus enabling advertisers to place their commercial messages on
stations aimed at audiences with certain demographic characteristics. A station
can also broadcast special programming, sporting events or national news
product, such as supplied by Westwood One, not available to its competitors
within its format. National programming broadcast on an exclusive geographic
basis can help differentiate a station within its market, and thereby enable a
station to increase its audience and local advertising revenue.

Radio Advertising

Radio advertising time can be purchased on a local, regional or national basis.
Local purchases allow an advertiser to select specific radio stations in chosen
geographic markets for the broadcast of commercial messages. However, this
process can be expensive and inefficient. Local and regional purchases are
typically best suited for an advertiser whose business or ad campaign is in a
specific geographic area. Advertising purchased from a radio network is one
method by which an advertiser gets its commercial messages to a specific
demographic audience, achieving national coverage on a cost efficient basis. In
addition, an advertiser can choose to emphasize their message in a certain
market or markets by supplementing a national purchase with local and/or
regional purchases.

In recent years the increase in the number of program formats has led to more
demographically specific listening audiences, making radio an attractive,
alternative medium for national advertisers. In addition, nationally broadcast
news, concerts and special event programming have made radio an effective medium
of reach (size of listening audiences) as well as frequency (number of exposures
to the target audience).

To verify audience delivery and demographic composition, specific measurement
information is available to national advertisers by independent rating services
such as Arbitron and Statistical Research, Inc.'s RADAR. These rating services
provide demographic information such as the age and sex composition of the
listening audiences. Consequently, national advertisers can verify that their
advertisements are being heard by their target listening audience.

BUSINESS STRATEGY

Westwood One's Network Divisions provide targeted radio audiences and commercial
spots to national advertisers through its recognized programming and other
network products. The Company, through its various radio networks, produces and
distributes quality programming to radio stations seeking to increase their
listening audience and improve local and national advertising revenue. The
Company sells advertising time within its programs to national advertisers
desiring to reach large listening audiences nationwide with specific demographic
characteristics.

In February 1994, the Company acquired Unistar Radio Networks, Inc. ("Unistar")
for $101,300,000 plus expenses along with the following additional transactions
(see Notes 4, 7, 8 and 9 to Consolidated Financial Statements):

(a) the sale by the Company to Infinity Network, Inc. ("INI"), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Infinity Broadcasting Corporation
("Infinity"), of 5,000,000 shares of the Company's Common Stock and a
warrant to purchase up to an additional 3,000,000 shares of Common
Stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share, for a total purchase
price of $15,000,000;

(b) a Management Agreement between the Company and Infinity pursuant to
which (a) the Chief Executive Officer of Infinity, currently Mel
Karmazin, became the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (b) the
Chief Financial Officer of Infinity, currently Farid Suleman, became
the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and (c) Infinity began
managing the business and operations for an annual base fee of
$2,000,000 (adjusted for inflation), an annual cash bonus (payable in
the event of meeting certain financial targets) and additional
warrants to acquire up to 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock exercisable
after the Company's Common Stock reaches certain market prices per
share.

2


(c) a Voting Agreement providing for the reconstitution of the Board of
Directors into a nine-member Board and the voting of Norman Pattiz's
shares of the Company's Common Stock and Class B Stock and the shares
of the Common Stock held by INI.

In 1996, the Company expanded its strategy to include providing local traffic,
news, sports and weather programming to radio stations and other media outlets
in selected cities across the United States. In March 1996, WBS acquired the
operating assets of New York Shadow Traffic Limited Partnership, Chicago Shadow
Traffic Limited Partnership, Los Angeles Shadow Traffic Limited Partnership, and
Philadelphia Express Traffic Limited Partnership (collectively "Shadow Traffic")
for $20,000,000 plus expenses, subject to an adjustment based on future cash
flow (See Note 17 to Consolidated Financial Statements). In addition, WBS has
options to acquire the Shadow operations in other cities.

Radio Programming

The Company produces and distributes 24-hour continuous play formats, regularly
scheduled and special syndicated programs, including exclusive live concerts,
music and interview shows, national music countdowns, lifestyle short features,
news broadcasts, talk programs, sporting events, and sports features.

The Company controls most aspects of production of its programs, therefore being
able to tailor its programs to respond to current and changing listening
preferences. The Company produces regularly scheduled short-form programs
(typically 5 minutes or less), long-form programs (typically 60 minutes or
longer) and 24-hour continuous play formats. Typically, the short-form programs
are produced at the Company's in-house facilities located in Culver City,
California, New York, New York and Arlington, Virginia. The long-form programs
include shows produced entirely at the Company's in-house production facilities
and recordings of live concert performances and sports events made on location.
The 24-hour continuous play formats are produced at the Company's facilities in
Valencia, California.

Westwood One also produces and distributes special event syndicated programs. In
1995 the Company produced and distributed numerous special event programs,
including exclusive broadcasts of REM, Page and Plant and an HBO simulcast of
the Rock'N Roll Hall of Fame concert.

Westwood One obtains most of the programming for its concert series by recording
live concert performances of prominent recording artists. The agreements with
these artists often provide the exclusive right to broadcast the concerts
worldwide over the radio (whether live or pre-recorded) for a specific period of
time. The Company may also obtain interviews with the recording artist and
retain a copy of the recording of the concert and the interview for use in its
radio programs and as additions to its extensive tape library. The agreements
provide the artist with master recordings of their concerts and nationwide
exposure on affiliated radio stations. In certain cases the artists may receive
compensation.

Westwood One's syndicated programs are produced at its in-house production
facilities. The Company determines the content and style of a program based on
the target audience it wishes to reach. The Company assigns a producer, writer,
narrator or host, interviewer and other personnel to record and produce the
programs. Because Westwood One controls the production process, it can refine
the programs' content to respond to the needs of its affiliated stations and
national advertisers. In addition, the Company can alter program content in
response to current and anticipated audience demand.

The Company produces and distributes eight 24-hour continuous play formats
providing music, news and talk programming for Country, Hot Country, Adult
Contemporary, Soft AC, Oldies, Adult Standards, Adult Rock and Roll and the 70's
formats. Using its production facilities in Valencia, California, the Company
provides all the programming for stations affiliated with each of these formats.
Affiliates compensate the Company for these formats by providing the Company
with a portion of their commercial air time and, in most cases, cash fees.

The Company believes that its tape library is a valuable asset for its future
programming and revenue generating capabilities. The library contains previously
broadcast programs, live concert performances, interviews, daily news programs,
sports and entertainment features, Capitol Hill hearings and other special
events. New programs can be created and developed at a low cost by excerpting
material from the library.

Affiliated Radio Stations

Westwood One's radio network business strategy is to provide for the programming
needs of radio stations by supplying to radio stations programs and services
that individual stations may not be able to produce on their own. The Company
offers radio stations a wide selection of regularly scheduled and special event
syndicated programming as well as 24-hour continuous play formats. These
programs and formats are completely produced by the Company and, therefore, the
stations have no production costs. Typically, each program is offered for
broadcast by the Company exclusively to one station in its geographic market,
which assists the station in competing for audience share in its local
marketplace. In addition, except for news programming, Westwood One's programs
contain available commercial air time that the stations may sell to local
advertisers. Westwood One typically distributes promotional announcements to the
stations and places advertisements in trade and consumer publications to further
promote the upcoming broadcast of its programs.

Westwood One's networks enter into affiliation agreements with radio stations.
In the case of news and current events programming, the agreements commit the
station to broadcast only the advertisements associated with these programs and
allows the station flexibility to have the news headlined by their newscasters.
The other affiliation agreements require a station to broadcast the Company's
programs and to use a portion of the program's commercial slots to air national
advertisements and any related promotional spots. With respect to the 24-hour
formats, the Company may also receive a fee from the affiliated stations for the
right to broadcast the formats. Radio stations in the top 200 national markets
may also receive compensation for airing national advertising spots.

Affiliation agreements specify the number of times and the approximate daypart
each program and advertisement may be broadcast. Westwood One requires that each
station complete and promptly return to the Company an affidavit
(proof-of-performance) that verifies the time of each broadcast. Affiliation
agreements for Westwood One's entertainment programming are non-cancelable for
26 weeks and are automatically renewed for subsequent 26-week periods, if not
canceled 30 days prior to the end of the existing contract term. Affiliation
agreements for Westwood One's news and current events programming generally run
for a period of at least one year, are automatically renewable for subsequent
periods and are cancelable by either the Company or the station upon 90 days'
notice.

The Company has a number of people responsible for station relations and
marketing its programs to radio stations. Station relationships are managed
geographically to allow the marketing staff to concentrate on specific
geographical regions. This enables the Company's staff to develop and maintain
close, professional relationships with radio station personnel and to provide
them with quick programming assistance.

National Advertisers

Westwood One provides national advertisers with a cost-effective way to
communicate their commercial messages to large listening audiences nationwide
that have specific demographic characteristics. An advertiser can obtain both
frequency (number of exposures to the target audience) and reach (size of
listening audience) by purchasing advertising time in the Company`s programs. By
purchasing time in programs directed to different formats, advertisers can be
assured of obtaining high market penetration and visibility as their commercial
messages will be broadcast on several stations in the same market at the same
time. The Company supports its national sponsors with promotional announcements
and advertisements in trade and consumer publications. This support promotes the
upcoming broadcasts of Company programs and is designed to increase the
advertisers' target listening audience.

The Company sells its commercial time to advertisers either as "bulk" or
"flighted" purchases. Bulk purchases are long-term contracts (26 to 52 weeks)
that are sold "up-front" (early advertiser commitments for national broadcast
time). Flighted purchases are contracts for a specific, short-term period of
time (one to six weeks) that are sold at or above prevailing market prices.
Advertising prices vary significantly based on prevailing market conditions.
Generally, the contracts provide that advertising orders are firm and
non-cancelable. The Company's strategy for growth in advertising revenue is to
increase the amount of advertising time sold on the usually more profitable
flighted basis, to increase revenue of the non-RADAR rated programs, and to
increase audience size for news, talk and current events programming.


4


Local Traffic and Information Programming

In 1996, the Company expanded its business to include the production and
distribution of local traffic, news, sports and weather programming in selected
metropolitan areas (initially New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia).
The programming is produced in facilities rented by the Company in those
metropolitan areas. Local traffic information is obtained through the
utilization of strategically placed cameras overlooking portions of major
freeways, monitoring police radio bands, phone calls from drivers, and through
patrolling freeways with rented aircraft.

COMPETITION

The Company operates in a very competitive environment. In marketing its
programs to national advertisers, the Company directly competes with other radio
networks as well as with independent radio syndication producers and
distributors. In addition, Westwood One competes for advertising revenue with
network television, cable television, print and other forms of communications
media. The Company believes that the high quality of its programming and the
strength of its station relations and advertising sales forces enable it to
compete effectively with other forms of communication media. Westwood One
markets its programs to radio stations, including affiliates of other radio
networks, that it believes will have the largest and most desirable listening
audience for each of its programs. The Company often has different programs
airing on a number of stations in the same geographic market at the same time.
The Company believes that in comparison with any other independent radio
syndication producer and distributor or radio network it has a more diversified
selection of programming from which national advertisers and radio stations may
choose. In addition, the Company both produces and distributes programs, thereby
enabling it to respond more effectively to the demands of advertisers and radio
stations.

The increase in the number of program formats has led to increased competition
among local radio stations for audience. As stations attempt to differentiate
themselves in an increasingly competitive environment, their demand for quality
programming available from outside programming sources increases. This demand
has been intensified by high operating and production costs at local radio
stations and increased competition for local advertising revenue.

WBS, in the metropolitan areas in which it operates, competes for advertising
revenue with local print and other forms of communications media. The Company's
principal competitor providing local traffic, news, sports and weather
programming is Metro Networks.

GOVERNMENT REGULATION

Radio broadcasting and station ownership are regulated by the FCC. Westwood One,
as a producer and distributor of radio programs, is generally not subject to
regulation by the FCC. Shadow Traffic utilizes FCC regulated frequencies
pursuant to licenses issued by the FCC.

EMPLOYEES

On March 15, 1996, Westwood One had 566 full-time employees, including a
domestic advertising sales force of 69 people. In addition, the Company
maintains continuing relationships with approximately 58 independent writers,
program hosts, technical personnel and producers. Certain employees at the
Mutual Broadcasting System, NBC Radio Networks, and Unistar Radio Networks are
covered by collective bargaining agreements. The Company believes relations with
its employees and independent contractors are good.

ITEM 2. PROPERTIES

The Company owns a 7,600 square-foot building in Culver City, California in
which its production facilities are located; a 14,000 square-foot building and
an adjacent 10,000 square-foot building in Culver City, California which
contains administrative, sales and marketing offices, and storage space; and a
7,700 square-foot unoccupied building in Culver City. In addition, the Company
leases offices in New York; Chicago; Detroit; Dallas; Philadelphia; Arlington,
Virginia and Valencia, California.

The Company believes that its facilities are more than adequate for its current
level of operations.

Item 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (IN THOUSANDS EXCEPT FOR PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

In August 1994, the Company changed its fiscal year end from November 30 to
December 31 effective with the fiscal year ending December 31, 1994.
Accordingly, in the following discussion "1995" and "1994" will refer to the
calendar years 1995 and 1994, and "1993" will refer to the fiscal year ended
November 30, 1993.

On February 3, 1994 the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of the Unistar Radio Networks, Inc. ("Unistar").
The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly, the operating
results of Unistar are included with those of the Company from the date of
acquisition.

Effective December 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
capitalized station affiliation agreements and income taxes. In order to conform
to predominate current industry practice, capitalized station affiliation
agreements will be expensed as incurred. The cumulative effect of the change in
accounting for station affiliation expenses in December 1993 was an expense of
$4,344, or $.23 per share. SFAS No. 109 "Accounting for Income Taxes" was
adopted by the Company in December 1993. The Company elected not to restate
prior year's financial statements. Adopting SFAS No. 109 did not affect the
December 1993 or 1994 results.

In 1993, the Company classified the results of operations from Radio & Records
and its Los Angeles and New York radio stations as discontinued operations. The
Company disposed of these assets during 1993.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Westwood One derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of
advertising time to advertisers. Net revenues increased 7% to $145,729 in 1995
from $136,340 in 1994 and increased 62% in 1994 from $84,014 in 1993. The
increases in 1995 and 1994 net revenues were primarily a result of the purchase
of Unistar in February 1994.

Operating costs and expenses excluding depreciation and amortization increased
1% to $106,685 in 1995 from $105,389 in 1994 and increased 61% in 1994 from
$65,353 in 1993. The 1995 increase was primarily attributable to the purchase of
Unistar, partially offset by reductions in affiliate compensation expenses. The
1994 increase was primarily attributable to the purchase of Unistar and higher
programming expenses resulting from the production of additional programs.

Depreciation and amortization decreased 24% to $13,753 in 1995 from $18,160 in
1994 and increased 11% in 1994 from $16,384 in 1993. The 1995 decrease was
primarily a result of lower amortization of programming costs and rights from
lower levels of capitalized costs. The increase in depreciation and amortization
expense in 1994 was primarily a result of the purchase of Unistar, partially
offset by lower amortization of programming costs and rights and lower
amortization as a result of the Company's December 1, 1993 change in its method
of accounting for capitalized station affiliation agreements.

Corporate general and administrative expenses increased 36% to $5,976 in 1995
from $4,404 in 1994 and decreased 1% in 1994 from $4,468 in 1993. The increase
in 1995 was primarily a result of fees attributable to the Infinity Management
Agreement and higher compensation for the Company's chairman. The nominal
decrease in 1994 is a result of across-the-board expense cuts, partially offset
by fees attributable to the Infinity Management Agreement.

As a result of the purchase of Unistar, the Company accrued restructuring costs
of $2,405 in the first quarter of 1994 principally relating to the consolidation
of certain facilities and operations.

Operating income increased 223% to $19,315 in 1995 from $5,982 in 1994 and
increased $8,173 in 1994 from an operating loss of $2,191 in 1993. The dramatic
improvement in 1995 is attributable to the acquisition of Unistar and lower
amortization of programming costs and rights, partially offset by higher
corporate general and administrative expenses. The improvement in 1994 is
attributable to the acquisition of Unistar and cost savings resulting from
operating synergies from the Unistar acquisition, partially offset by higher
depreciation and amortization expense as a result of the Unistar acquisition.


9


Interest expense was $9,524, $8,802 and $6,551 in 1995, 1994 and 1993,
respectively. The increase in 1995 was primarily attributable to twelve months'
interest in the current year for debt obtained as a result of the Unistar
acquisition and higher interest rates, partially offset by lower debt levels as
a result of repaying $12,500 in debt in the current year and the 1994 conversion
of 9% Senior Debentures to Common Stock. The 1994 increase is principally
attributable to higher debt levels as a result of the acquisition of Unistar,
partially offset by the elimination of interest expense on the Company's 9%
Senior Debentures due to their conversion to Common Stock. Other income is
principally comprised of investment income.

Income (loss) from continuing operations increased $12,415 to $9,685 ($.28 per
share) from 1994's loss of $2,730 ($.09 per share) and the 1994 loss decreased
69% from 1993's loss of $8,682 ($.57 per share).

Loss on discontinued operations, net of income tax benefit, was $3,140 in 1993.
The loss represents the operating performance of discontinued operations through
March 1, 1993.

The $12,087 provision for loss on disposal of discontinued operations included
estimated future costs and operating results of the discontinued assets from
March 1, 1993 until the date of disposition.

In connection with the refinancing of its senior debt facility, the Company
recorded an extraordinary loss of $590 ($.02 per share).

Net income increased $13,005 to $9,685 ($.28 per share) from a net loss of
$3,320 ($.11 per share) in 1994 and the 1994 net loss decreased 86% in 1994 from
$23,909 ($1.58 per share) in 1993.

Weighted average shares outstanding increased 17% to 34,310 in 1995 from 29,414
in 1994 and 94% in 1994 from 15,153 in 1993. The 1995 increase is primarily
attributable to the full year impact of share issuances made in 1994 (conversion
of 9% Senior Debentures and sale of 5,000 shares to a subsidiary of Infinity).
The 1994 increase in weighted average shares is primarily attributable to the
conversion of its 9% Senior Debentures into approximately 8,864 shares of Common
Stock and the sale of 5,000 shares of Common Stock to a subsidiary of Infinity.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 1995, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $256, a
decrease of $2,183 from December 31, 1994. In addition, the Company had
available borrowings under its loan agreement of $17,500.

For 1995, net cash from operating activities was $24,223, an increase of $21,778
from 1994. The increase was primarily attributable to higher cash flow from
operations. In 1994, net cash from operating activities was much lower due to
high working capital requirements as a result of the acquisition of Unistar. Net
cash used by investing activities was $2,890 principally due to the purchase of
capital equipment. Consequently, cash provided before financing activities was
$21,333.

The Company has been authorized by its Board of Directors to repurchase up to
$40,000 of its Common Stock through December 31, 1996. During 1995, the Company
purchased 607 shares of the Company's Common Stock and 500 warrants for a total
cost of $14,475. In addition, the Company prepaid $12,500 of its long-term debt.

On March 1, 1996, the Company purchased the operating assets of New York Shadow
Traffic Limited Partnership, Chicago Shadow Traffic Limited Partnership, Los
Angeles Shadow Traffic Limited Partnership, and Philadelphia Express Traffic
Limited Partnership (collectively "Shadow Traffic") for $20,000 plus expenses,
subject to an adjustment based on the future cash flow of Shadow Traffic. The
acquisition will be financed using the Company's existing cash and available
bank borrowings.

Management believes that the Company's cash, available borrowings and
anticipated cash flow from operations will be sufficient to finance current and
forecasted operations over the next 12 months.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS
OF WESTWOOD ONE, INC.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index to
consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules on page F-1
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Westwood
One, Inc. and its subsidiaries at December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of
their operations and their cash flows for each of the two fiscal years in the
period ended December 31, 1995, the one month ended December 31, 1993 and for
the fiscal year ended November 30, 1993, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
Company's management; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these
statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which
require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about
whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit
includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles
used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall
financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a
reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.

As discussed in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, effective
December 1, 1993 the Company changed its accounting policy for capitalized
station affiliation agreements and adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes".

WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)


NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES:

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of all wholly-owned
subsidiaries.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenue is recognized when commercial advertisements are broadcast.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with a maturity of
less than three months to be cash equivalents. The carrying amount of cash
equivalents approximates fair value because of the short maturity of these
instruments.

DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is computed using the straight line method over the estimated
useful lives of the assets.

MEASUREMENT OF INTANGIBLE ASSET IMPAIRMENT

At each balance sheet date, the Company determines whether an impairment of
Intangible Assets has occurred based upon expectations of nondiscounted
broadcast cash flow. Broadcast Cash Flow is based on the consolidated statement
of operations, calculated by subtracting from net revenue, operating costs and
expenses excluding depreciation and amortization. To date, the Company has not
experienced an impairment in any of its intangible assets. However, should such
an impairment exist, the impairment will be measured as the amount by which the
carrying amount of the asset exceeds its fair value, as defined by Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (FAS 121), "Accounting for the Impairment
of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed Of".

INCOME TAXES

Effective December 1, 1993, the Company implemented, on a prospective basis,
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 (FAS 109), "Accounting for
Income Taxes" which requires the use of the asset and liability method of
financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. The adoption of FAS109 did
not affect reported earnings. Under FAS 109, deferred income taxes reflect the
tax impact of temporary differences between the amount of assets and liabilities
recognized for financial reporting purposes and the amounts recognized for tax
purposes.

EARNINGS (LOSS) PER SHARE

Net income (loss) per share is based on the weighted average number of common
shares and common equivalent shares (where inclusion of such equivalent shares
would not be anti-dilutive) outstanding during the year.

PERVASIVENESS OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the
financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period.
Actual results may differ from those estimates.

RECLASSIFICATION

Certain amounts have been reclassified to be comparable to the 1995
presentation.

WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

NOTE 2 - ACCOUNTING CHANGE:

Effective December 1, 1993, the Company changed its method of accounting for
capitalized station affiliation agreements to expense these costs as incurred.
The Company believes this method is preferable and conforms to the predominant
current industry practice, including Unistar. Accordingly, the Company
recognized the cumulative effect of the change as of December 1, 1993. The
non-cash charge to earnings was an expense of $4,344, or $.23 per share and has
been reflected in the financial statements for the month of December 1993.

NOTE 3 - CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR:

In the third quarter of 1994, the Company changed its fiscal year end from
November 30 to December 31 effective with the fiscal year ending December 31,
1994. The accompanying financial statements include audited statements of
operations, shareholders' equity and cash flows for the one month transition
period ended December 31, 1993.

NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF UNISTAR RADIO NETWORKS, INC.:

On February 3, 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of Unistar Radio Networks, Inc. ("Unistar") for
$101,300 plus expenses. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase.
Accordingly, the operating results of Unistar are included with those of the
Company from the date of acquisition. Based on management's estimates, the
purchase price has been allocated to the fair value of assets and liabilities
acquired. The excess of cost over net assets of acquired company resulting from
the transaction ($92,464) is being amortized over 40 years.

NOTE 5 - PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT:

Property and equipment is recorded at cost and is summarized as follows at:




DECEMBER 31,
------------------
1995 1994

Land............................................................ $ 3,378 $ 3,378
Recording and studio equipment.................................. 15,906 15,813

NOTE 6 - INTANGIBLE ASSETS:

Intangible assets are summarized as follows at:



DECEMBER 31,
-----------------
1995 1994
---- ----

Goodwill, less accumulated amortization of $20,572 (1995) and
$16,334 (1994)..................................................... $148,967 $153,205
Acquired station affiliation agreements, less accumulated
amortization of $4,823 (1995) and $3,382 (1994).................... 18,956 21,025
Other intangible assets, less accumulated amortization of $5,082
(1995) and $4,543 (1994)........................................... 16,518 17,057
-------- --------

Intangible assets, net....................................... $184,441 $191,287
======== ========



Intangible assets, except for acquired station affiliation agreements, are
amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years.

Station affiliation agreements are comprised of values assigned to agreements
acquired as part of the purchase of radio networks and are amortized using an
accelerated method over 40 years. The period of amortization is evaluated
periodically to determine whether a revision to the estimated useful life is
warranted.

NOTE 7 - DEBT:

Long-term debt consists of the following at:



DECEMBER 31,
--------------------
1995 1994
---- ----

Revolving Credit Facility/Term Loans................................ $ 92,500 $105,000
6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures maturing 2011............ 15,443 15,443
-------- --------
107,943 120,443
Less current maturities............................................. - 5,000
-------- --------
$107,943 $115,443
======== ========


The Company's amended senior loan agreement with a syndicate of banks, lead by
Chase Manhattan Bank, provides for a $125,000 revolving credit facility (the
"Facility"), which is subject to mandatory quarterly reductions. The Facility is
available until June 30, 2002. At December 31, 1995, the Company had available
borrowings under the Facility of $110,000. Interest is payable at the prime rate
plus an applicable margin of up to 1.5% or LIBOR plus an applicable margin of up
to 2.5%, at the Company's option. Based on the Company's Total Debt Ratio, the
applicable margins may be reduced to as low as 0% for prime rate loans and 1.0%
for LIBOR loans. At December 31, 1995, the applicable margins were 0% and 1.0%,
respectively. At December 31, 1995, the Company had borrowed $92,500 at 6.82%
under the Facility. The Facility is secured by substantially all the Company's
assets and contains covenants relating to dividends, liens, indebtedness,
capital expenditures and interest coverage and leverage ratios. As a matter of
policy, the Company does not engage in derivative trading. As part of the
Facility, the Company is required to enter into interest rate protection
agreements. Accordingly, the Company has entered into two interest rate
protection agreements under which the Company's interest rate on $50,000 of
borrowings under the Facility will not exceed 7% (based on the current margin).
The agreements are effective from July and August 1995 thru July and August
1996, with each covering $25,000 of borrowings.

F-9


WESTWOOD ONE, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

The 6 3/4% Convertible Subordinated Debentures ("Debentures") are unsecured and
subordinated in right of payment to senior indebtedness. Interest on the
Debentures is payable semiannually on April 15 and October 15. The Debentures
are convertible at any time prior to maturity, unless previously redeemed, into
shares of common stock of the Company at the conversion price of $24.58 per
share, subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events.

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the next five fiscal years and
thereafter, pursuant to the Company's debt agreements as in effect at December
31, 1995, are as follows:


YEAR

1997................................. $ 12,500
1998................................. 17,500
1999................................. 17,500
2000................................. 17,500
Thereafter........................... 42,943
-------
$107,943
========

With the exception of the Company's Debentures, the fair value of short and
long-term debt approximates its carrying value. The fair value of the Debentures
at December 31, 1995 was approximately $13,744, based on its quoted market
price.

NOTE 8 - SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY:

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of Common stock, Class B
stock and Preferred stock. Common stock is entitled to one vote per share while
Class B stock is entitled to 50 votes per share.

In connection with the Company's purchase of Unistar, the Company sold 5 million
shares of common stock and a warrant to purchase up to an additional 3 million
shares of common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (subject to
certain vesting conditions) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Infinity
Broadcasting Corporation for $15,000.

As part of a settlement relating to class action lawsuits filed against the
Company, warrants to purchase 3,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock at
$17.25 per share were issued. The warrants expire on September 4, 1997. Warrants
not exercised may be redeemable under certain circumstances at $1.00 per
warrant.

NOTE 9 - STOCK OPTIONS:

The Company has stock option plans established in 1989 which provide for the
granting of options to directors, officers and key employees to purchase stock
at its market value on the date the options are granted. There are 4,800,000
shares authorized under the 1989 Plan, as amended. Options granted generally
become exercisable after one year in 20% increments per year and expire within

As part of a Management Agreement between the Company and Infinity Broadcasting
Corporation ("Infinity"), a subsidiary of Infinity was given warrants to acquire
up to 1,500,000 shares of common stock at prices ranging between $3.00 and $5.00
per share, subject to adjustment, which are exercisable after the Company's
common stock reaches certain market prices per share. At December 31, 1995,
500,000 warrants were exercisable at $4.00 per share (see Note 11 - Related
Party Transactions).

On December 1, 1986, the Chairman of the Board was granted options not covered

over a seven-year term or immediately upon a change in control of the Company.
The options became exercisable at the fair market value of the common stock, as
defined, on the date of vesting. During 1995, options to acquire 450,000 shares
were exercised at prices ranging from $1.67 to $9.38. At December 31, 1995,

NOTE 10 - INCOME TAXES:

The Company has approximately $80,000 of available U.S. net operating loss
carryforwards for tax purposes, which begin to expire in 2002. Utilization of
the carryforwards is dependent upon future taxable income and the absence of any
significant changes in the stock ownership of the Company. For financial
purposes, a valuation allowance of $20,639 has been recorded to offset the
deferred tax assets related to those carryforwards.

NOTE 15 - DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS:

At the end of the Company's first fiscal quarter of 1993, the Company classified
the results of operations from Radio & Records and its two radio stations as
discontinued operations. These three businesses collateralized the Company's
debt with Westinghouse Electric Corporation ("WEC"). In June 1993 the Company
completed the sales of its radio stations, and used the net proceeds from the
sales to retire a substantial portion of its WEC debt. On November 1, 1993, WEC
acquired the outstanding stock of Radio & Records and the net assets of Westwood
One Stations Group for the remaining balance of the WEC debt, accrued interest
and any other potential claims. Accordingly, the historical net loss of the
