NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial
statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, in the opinion of the Company,
include all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of financial
position, results of operations and cash flows.  There are no material
adjustments other than those that are normal and recurring except for a
pretax charge related to staff reductions (note 3).  Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed
or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules.  The Company believes that the
disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not
misleading.  It is suggested that these financial statements be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the
Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly filing.


Note 2.  Investment income from marketable securities classified as interest
income on investments, net, consisted of the following (in millions):

The cost of marketable securities sold was determined by specific
identification.

During the first six months of 1995 there were no trading securities or
securities held-to-maturity.  The marketable securities as of June 30, 1995
consisted of the following (in millions):

                                                
                                         Fair       Unrealized Holding

The above unrealized holding gains and losses, net of income taxes of $3.8
million, are reflected as "Unrealized holding gains" in shareholders' equity.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 3.  In the second quarter of 1995, the Company recorded a pretax charge
of $32.3 million for staff reduction costs including the costs related to an
early retirement program--a special one-time opportunity for certain eligible
employees to voluntarily retire early with increased benefits.

Note 4.  Total tax expense on income before income taxes for the six months
ended June 30, 1995 amounted to $42.8 million (an effective rate of 36.7%)
compared with $118.3 million (an effective rate of 39.8%) for the comparable
period in 1994.  A reconciliation between the statutory Federal income tax
rate and the Company's effective income tax rate as a percentage of income

Note 5.  In the first six months of 1995, the Company issued 2,143,650 shares
of its common stock for the conversion of 620,000 shares of Series B
Preference Stock.  The difference between the carrying value of these
converted shares and the par value of the common stock issued was credited to
additional paid-in capital.  In 1994, the Company issued 1,037,250 shares of
its common stock from its treasury shares for the conversion of 300,000
shares of Series B Preference Stock.  The difference between the carrying
value of the shares converted in 1994 and the average cost of the treasury
shares issued was charged to additional paid-in capital.

As of June 30, 1995, a total of 920,000 shares out of the original issue of
1,250,000 shares of Series B Preference Stock were converted into the
Company's common stock.  In addition, in 1994, the Company purchased the
rights to receive principal and dividends on 50,000 shares of Series B
Preference Stock which was accounted for as a redemption of these shares. 
However, the right of conversion related to these shares held by outside
investors was exercised on August 1, 1995 and the Company received $5.0
million for such exercise, and issued 172,875 shares of its common stock.

As of August 1, 1995, the mandatory redemption date of Series B Preference
Stock, the remaining 280,000 shares of Series B Preference Stock were
converted into 968,100 shares of the Company's common stock.

Note 6.  Subsequent Event.  
On August 1, 1995, the Company and Westinghouse Electric Corporation
(Westinghouse) announced that Westinghouse had agreed to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of the Company for a cash consideration of $81 per share. 
In addition the Company's shareholders will receive a special payment which
will be calculated at the rate of six percent per annum of the cash
consideration commencing from August 31, 1995 until the closing of the
transaction, less any dividends which otherwise would be payable.  The value
of the transaction is expected to total approximately $5.4 billion.  This
agreement is subject to various regulatory approvals, the approval of the
Company's shareholders and completion of financing by Westinghouse.  Chemical
Bank and J.P. Morgan have each committed to lend $1 billion and have agreed
to arrange the remainder of the financing.  Westinghouse expects to receive
the necessary Federal Communications Commission's approvals or waivers and
complete the transaction by the end of 1995 or early 1996.

              MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                     CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

On August 1, 1995, the Company and Westinghouse Electric Corporation
(Westinghouse) announced that Westinghouse had agreed to acquire all of the
outstanding shares of the Company for a cash consideration of $81 per share plus
certain additional consideration depending upon the timing of the closing.  The
value of the transaction is expected to total approximately $5.4 billion.  The
agreement is subject to various regulatory approvals, the approval of the
Company's shareholders and completion of financing by Westinghouse (note 6).

Operations
The Company's net sales in the second quarter of 1995 increased slightly
compared with net sales in the second quarter of 1994.  However, net sales
decreased 16 percent for the first six months of 1995 compared with the same
period in 1994 because of the absence of the Television Network's broadcast of
the Olympic Winter Games and the National Football League post-season games both
of which aired in the first quarter of 1994.

In the second quarter of 1995, operating income decreased to $89.0 million from
$174.5 million in the second quarter of 1994, due primarily to lower operating
results at the Television Network, as well as a pretax charge of $32.3 million
for staff reduction costs including the costs related to an early retirement
program--a special one-time opportunity for certain eligible employees to
voluntarily retire early with increased benefits.  The Television Network
reported a decrease in operating income due largely to a decline in primetime
and daytime audience delivery, an increase in compensation paid to its 
affiliated television stations and higher programming costs for entertainment
series and miniseries.  Sales and profits for the Television Stations Division
increased, led by improved results at WCBS-TV (New York).  Sales and operating
income increased at the Radio Division led by improved results at the FM Radio
Group.

For the first six months of 1995, operating income decreased 53 percent compared
with 1994, due mainly to lower operating results at the Television Network, as
well as a pretax charge for staff reduction costs as noted above.  Operating
income at the Television Network decreased as a result of lower primetime
ratings, an increase in compensation paid to its affiliated television stations,
and higher programming costs.  Sales and profits for the Television Stations
Division decreased as a result of the absence of the Network's coverage of the
Olympic Winter Games which aired in 1994.  However, excluding the impact of the
Olympic Winter Games, the Television Stations Division benefited from increased
sales from local television advertising.  Operating profits at the Radio
Division increased principally as a result of sales gains at the Division's FM
Group of Stations.  

Interest, net, in the second quarter and for the first six months of 1995, was
an expense of $7.2 million and $13.2 million, respectively, as opposed to income
of $8.0 million and $20.1 million in the comparable periods of 1994.  Interest
income declined because of the Company's repurchase of its common stock for 
$1.1 billion in cash in the third quarter of 1994.

Net income for the second quarter and first six months of 1995 was reduced by
53% and 59%, respectively, compared with the comparable periods a year earlier. 
However, earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months of 1995
was reduced by only 41% and 49%, respectively, due to lower weighted average
shares outstanding in 1995, which resulted from the Company's repurchase of 17.5
million shares of its common stock in September 1994.
                                     -9-<PAGE>
Comparison of the results of the second quarter of 1995 with the first quarter
of 1995 is not meaningful because of the seasonal nature of the Company's
business.


Liquidity and capital resources:

During the six months ended June 30, 1995, cash and cash equivalents decreased
by $12.0 million and marketable securities, net of repurchase agreements,
decreased by $13.8 million for a net decrease in liquid assets of 
$25.8 million.  This decrease resulted primarily from cash outflows related 
to the payment of short-term debt, partially offset by positive cash flows 
from operating activities.


Year-to-date cash flows for 1995 and 1994 varied as follows:

      Operating activities:

      The $233.7 million lower positive cash flows in 1995, compared with the
      same period in 1994 were due primarily to lower earnings in 1995 and the
      cash flows related to program rights.  The cash flow variance in program
      rights was due mainly to the broadcasts of the Olympic Winter Games and
      National Football League games in 1994 (for which payments were made in
      prior periods) partially offset by a lower scheduled payment made in 1995
      compared with 1994 as part of the acquisition of rights to the 1998
      Olympic Winter Games.

      Investing and financing activities:

      The variance in cash flows from investing activities was due mainly to
      the net decrease in investments in marketable securities.  In 1995, the
      decreased activity in sales and purchases of marketable securities was
      due to the lower investment in marketable securities which resulted
      primarily from the Company's repurchase of its common stock for 
      $1.1 billion in the third quarter of 1994.

      The variance in cash flows from financing activities was due largely to
      the reduction in short-term debt in 1995.


The Company's liquid assets include the following (in millions):

                                   PART II
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings.

a.   In Item 1 of Registrant's Form 10-K for 1994 (under the caption "Material
Licenses and Federal Regulation"), Registrant reported that, on August 3, 1992,
it had filed with the Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") a timely
application to renew the television broadcast license for WBBM-TV, Chicago,
Illinois.  Registrant further reported that, on or about August 18, 1992, Edward
Magnus, an individual, filed with the FCC a petition to deny the WBBM-TV
application, to which Registrant responded on September 24, 1992.  By letter
dated November 14, 1994, the FCC dismissed the petition to deny.  Registrant
also reported that a second petition to deny the WBBM-TV application was filed
on or about November 2, 1992, by the NAACP, and that on November 23, 1992,
Registrant filed its opposition.  On May 3, 1995, the FCC denied the NAACP
petition and granted the WBBM-TV license renewal application.

b.   In Item 1 of Registrant's Form 10-K for 1994 (under the caption "Material
Licenses and Federal Regulation"), Registrant reported that, on April 1, 1994,
Registrant filed with the FCC a timely application to renew the television
broadcast license for WCAU-TV, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  On July 13, 1994,
the Philadelphia Lesbian and Gay Task Force and other groups filed with the FCC
a petition to deny the WCAU-TV application, to which Registrant responded on
August 22, 1994.  On June 22, 1995, the FCC denied the petition and granted the
WCAU-TV license renewal application.

c.   In Item 1 of Part I of Registrant's Form 10-K for 1994 (under the caption
"Material Licenses and Federal Regulation"), Registrant reported that it had
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire WGPR-TV, Detroit, Michigan
from WGPR Inc. ("WGPR").  On October 27, 1994, Registrant and WGPR filed an
application with the FCC for consent to the assignment of the broadcast license
for the station to Registrant.  Petitions to deny that application were
separately filed on December 22, 1994 by Spectrum Detroit ("Spectrum"), a
Michigan corporation, and Alexander Serafyn, a resident of the Detroit area. 
On January 17, 1995, Registrant filed a consolidated opposition to the
petitions.  On July 27, 1995, the FCC approved the assignment of the broadcast
license for WGPR-TV to Registrant.  On July 28, 1995, Serafyn filed a Notice of
Appeal with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (the "D.C.
Circuit").  In addition, Spectrum has 30 days to seek reconsideration from the
FCC or to appeal to the D.C. Circuit.

d.   In Item 1 of Part I of Registrant's Form 10-K for 1994 (under the caption
"Material Licenses and Federal Regulation"), Registrant reported that it had
entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement to acquire WPRI-TV, Providence, Rhode
Island from Narragansett Television L.P.  An application for consent to the
assignment of the broadcast license for the station to Registrant was filed with
the FCC on March 16, 1995.  On April 26, 1995, Oleg Nikolyszyn, a resident of
the Providence area, filed a petition to deny that application, to which
Registrant filed an opposition.  On June 22, 1995, the FCC staff approved the
assignment of the broadcast license for WPRI-TV to Registrant, subject to
whatever action, if any, the FCC might deem appropriate in light of its
consideration of certain issues raised in the petitions to deny the application
for FCC consent to the assignment of the license for WGPR-TV, Detroit to
Registrant, which application is described in item c above.  On June 29, 1995,
Nikolyszyn filed with the FCC staff a petition for reconsideration and motion
for stay, to which Registrant filed an opposition on July 6, 1995. 
Subsequently, in granting the WGPR-TV assignment application described in item
c above, the FCC removed the condition which it had previously placed on its
grant of the WPRI-TV assignment application.
                                    -11-<PAGE>
e.   On June 1, 1995, Registrant filed a timely application to renew the
broadcast license for WARW(FM), Bethesda, Maryland.  Oppositions may be filed
until September 1, 1995.

f.   Registrant and the individual members of its Board of Directors had been
served with summonses and complaints in the following eight legal proceedings
instituted in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County:  
Moise Katz v. CBS; Max Grill v. CBS; John Stack v. CBS; William Stevens v. CBS;
Roger Minkoff v. CBS; Kenneth Steiner v. CBS; Ron Stern v. CBS; and Carol B.
Miller IRA Account v. CBS.  In each of these proceedings the plaintiff, on
behalf of himself/herself and other shareholders of Registrant, asserts that
Westinghouse Electric Corporation's pending acquisition of Registrant (announced
August 1, 1995) does not provide sufficient value to Registrant and its
shareholders and seeks damages, injunctive relief, that Registrant conduct an
auction to maximize shareholder value, an order imposing a "voting trust" on the
shares controlled by the directors, and other equitable relief.  Registrant
believes that each of these actions is without merit and will have no adverse
affect on Registrant or the transaction with Westinghouse.

g.   Various other legal actions, governmental proceedings and other claims
(including those relating to environmental investigations and remediation
resulting from the operations of discontinued businesses) are pending or, with
respect to certain claims, unasserted.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K

a.   Filed herewith as Exhibit 11 is a statement regarding the computation of

b.   Registrant filed a report on Form 8-K, dated August 1, 1995, reporting 
     that on such date Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of 
     Merger (the "Merger Agreement") with Westinghouse Electric Corporation, 
     a Pennsylvania corporation ("Westinghouse"), and Group W Acquisition 
     Corp., a New York corporation ("Sub"), pursuant to which Sub will merge 
     with and into Registrant (the "Merger").  As a result of the Merger, the 
     outstanding shares of Registrant's common stock, par value $2.50 per 
     share ("Registrant Common Stock"), will be converted into the right to 
     receive $81 per share, in cash, plus an additional amount equal to 
     6% per annum of such purchase price beginning on August 31, 1995, less 
     any dividends declared and paid by Registrant for the period after 
     August 1, 1995.  The Merger is conditioned upon, among other things, 
     approval by holders of a majority of the Registrant Common Stock and 
     upon receipt of certain regulatory and governmental approvals.  The 
     Merger Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2 to such Form 8-K.

    Consolidated Condensed Income Statement in footnote 15 of its 1990 Annual 
    Report.  The Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges for this income statement
