ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

        This statement relates to the Common Stock, Series A, $.01 par value per
share (the "Security") of Telemundo Group, Inc. (the "Issuer"), whose principal
executive offices are located at 2290 West 8th Avenue, Hialeah, Florida 33010.


ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

        Item 2 is hereby by amended as follows:

        By deleting the second, third, fourth and sixth paragraphs thereof and
adding in their place the following:

        Approximately 47.1% of the common voting stock of RGH is owned by 
Saul P. Steinberg, members of his family and an affiliated trust.  As a result 
of his stock holdings in RGH, Saul P. Steinberg may be deemed to control RGH.

        The principal executive offices of RGH are located at Park Avenue Plaza,
New York, New York 10055.

        Item 2 is further amended as follows:

        The names, addresses and principal occupations of the directors and
executive officers of RGH are unchanged from those previously filed in this
Schedule except that the information with respect to Dean W. Case shall be
amended to read in its entirety as follows:

        Dean W. Case                           Director, RGH
        Reliance Insurance Company
        4 Penn Center Plaza
        Philadelphia, PA 19103


ITEM 3. SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

        Of the Shares beneficially owned by RGH, 330,000 were purchased by RIC
for an aggregate purchase price of $2,445,700. The remaining 693,728 Shares
beneficially owned by RGH were purchased by RIC's insurance subsidiary, United
Pacific Insurance Company ("UPIC"), for an aggregate purchase price of
$4,987,904.32. The source of funds for each of the aforementioned purchases was
working capital.


ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        The Issuer's plan of reorganization (the "Plan") was consummated on
December 30, 1994.  Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, all of the Issuer's
common stock outstanding prior to such consummation (including the 21,633,137
shares beneficially owned by RGH) was extinguished. 993,728 Shares

<PAGE>

were purchased in connection with the consummation of the Plan. The additional
30,000 Shares purchased by RIC were purchased for investment as part of the
general investment portfolio of RIC.

        Subject to availability and price and subject to applicable laws and
regulations, each of RIC and UPIC may increase their holdings or may dispose of
all or a portion of the Shares on terms and at prices determined by them.


ITEM 5. INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

        Item 5 shall be amended to read in its entirety as follows:

        The Shares beneficially owned by RGH total 1,023,728 shares, and to the
best knowledge of RGH, comprise approximately 10.2% of the outstanding shares of
common stock of the Issuer (based on a total of 10,000,000 shares of common
stock outstanding as obtained from filings made by the Issuer in connection with
the consummation of the Plan, including shares of the Issuer's Common Stock,
Series B) and approximately 23.3% of the initially outstanding shares of
Issuer's Common Stock, Series A (based on a total of 4,388,394 shares of
Issuer's Common Stock, Series A as obtained from the Issuer). RIC and UPIC own
directly 330,000 and 693,728, respectively, of such Shares. RGH has sole voting
and dispositive power over all of the Shares beneficially owned by it.

        The 300,000 Shares purchased by RIC and the 693,728 Shares purchased by
UPIC were purchased at a price per share of $7.19 on December 30, 1994 in
privately negotiated transactions entered into in connection with the
consummation of the Plan. The Standby Purchase Agreement pursuant to which the
693,728 Shares were purchased was previously filed as an exhibit to this
Schedule. Of the 30,000 remaining Shares beneficially owned by RGH, all were
purchased by RIC in open market transactions. 10,000 of those Shares were
purchased on December 1, 1994 at a purchase price of $9.00 per Share and 20,000
were purchased on December 19, 1994 at a purchase price of $9.935 per Share.
