                                THE COMPANY

          The Company is the largest media and entertainment company in the
world. Its businesses are conducted in five principal areas: Publishing,
Music, Filmed Entertainment, Programming-HBO and Cable. Publishing consists
principally of the publication and distribution of magazines and books;
Music consists principally of the production and distribution of recorded
music and the ownership and administration of music copyrights; Filmed
Entertainment consists principally of the production and distribution of
motion pictures and television programming, the distribution of video
cassettes and the ownership and operation of retail stores and theme parks;
Programming-HBO consists principally of the production and distribution of
pay television and cable programming; and Cable consists principally of the
operation of cable television systems.

          The Company was incorporated in the State of Delaware in August
1983 and is the successor to a New York corporation that was originally
organized in 1922. The Company changed its name from Time Incorporated to
Time Warner Inc. following its acquisition of 59.3% of the Common Stock of
Warner Communications Inc. ("WCI") in July 1989. WCI became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company in January 1990 upon the completion of the merger
of WCI and a subsidiary of the Company.

          Time Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("TWE") was formed as a
Delaware limited partnership in 1992 to own and operate substantially all
of the Filmed Entertainment, Programming-HBO and Cable businesses owned and
operated by the Company prior to such date. The Company and certain of its
wholly owned subsidiaries (the "Time Warner General Partners") collectively
own 74.49% of the pro rata priority capital and residual equity interests
in TWE and a wholly owned subsidiary of U S WEST, Inc. owns pro rata priority
capital and residual equity interests in TWE of 25.51%. In addition, the
Time Warner General Partners own directly or indirectly priority capital
interests senior and junior to the pro rata priority capital interests.

          The Company has entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger
dated as of September 22, 1995 (the "TBS Merger Agreement") providing for
the merger of Turner Broadcasting System, Inc. ("TBS") with a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company and certain related transactions (the "TBS
Transaction"). The TBS Merger Agreement together with certain related
agreements are described in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated
September 22, 1995.

          The Company's principal executive offices are located at 75
Rockefeller Plaza, New York, New York 10019, and its telephone number is
(212) 484-8000.


                              USE OF PROCEEDS

          The Company will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale
from time to time of the Common Stock offered hereby. All proceeds from the
sale of the Common Stock offered hereby will be for the account of the
Selling Shareholders, as described below. See "Selling Shareholders" and
"Plan of Distribution" described below.

<PAGE>

                      DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK

          The following general summary of the Common Stock is qualified in
its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated Certificate of
Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of Incorporation"), which is an
exhibit to the Registration Statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

          The Company is authorized by the Certificate of Incorporation to
issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 250,000,000 shares of
preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. On September 30, 1995,
387,404,816 shares of Common Stock (excluding approximately 45.7 million
shares of Common Stock held as treasury shares by the Company, as to which
approximately 43.7 million were held by wholly owned subsidiaries of the
Company) were issued and outstanding and approximately 148 million shares
were reserved for issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options and
warrants and conversion of outstanding convertible securities. Also,
as of October 10, 1995, 464,638 shares of the Company's Series B
Preferred Stock, 3,264,508 shares of Series C Preferred Stock, 11,000,000
shares of Series D Preferred Stock, 6,200,000 shares of Series G Preferred
Stock, 1,800,000 shares of Series H Preferred Stock and 7,000,000 shares of
Series I Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. Upon consummation of
the pending acquisition by the Company of Cablevision Industries
Corporation and certain affiliated entities, the Company will have
outstanding approximately 2.5 million additional shares of Common Stock and
approximately 3.25 million shares of Series E Preferred Stock and 3.25
million shares of Series F Preferred Stock. The Series C, D, E, F, G, H and
I Preferred Stock are or will be, as the case may be, convertible in the
aggregate into approximately 74.5 million shares of Common Stock. Each such
series of Preferred Stock has a liquidation value of $100 per share and
will receive, for a period of five years with respect to the Series C and E
Preferred Stock and for a period of four years with respect to the Series
D, F, G, H and I Preferred Stock, an annual dividend per share equal to the
greater of $3.75 and an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common
Stock into which such share of Preferred Stock may be converted. The Series
C, D, E, F, G and I Preferred Stock are or will be, as the case may be,
entitled to vote with the Common Stock on matters submitted to a vote of
stockholders and will have two votes per share in any such matter. For a
discussion of the Series C, D, E and F Preferred Stock and the Series G, H
and I Preferred Stock reference is made to the Company's Current Reports on
Form 8-K dated August 14, 1995 and August 31, 1995, respectively. Upon the
consummation of the TBS Transaction, the Company would issue an additional
171.3 million shares of Common Stock and approximately 13 million stock
options (plus additional shares of equity securities economically 
equivalent to 5 million shares of Common Stock). A portion of the Common
Stock issued in the TBS Transaction will be exchanged for other equity
securities of the Company that are economically equivalent to Common Stock.
Additional information on the TBS Transaction is set forth in the Company's
Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 22, 1995.

          The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive dividends
when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Company out of
funds legally available therefore, subject to the rights of any preferred
stock at the time outstanding.

          The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each
share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including elections of
directors. The holders of the Common Stock do not have any cumulative
voting, conversion, redemption or preemptive rights. In the event of



<PAGE>

dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Company, holders of the
Common Stock will be entitled to share ratably in any assets remaining
after the satisfaction in full of the prior rights of creditors, including
holders of the Company's indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation
preference of any preferred stock then outstanding.

          Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, provided
that full dividends on all outstanding shares of any series of the
Company's preferred stock have been paid, outstanding shares of Common
Stock may be redeemed by action of the Company's Board of Directors to the
extent necessary to prevent the loss of any governmental license or
franchise, the holding of which is conditioned upon stockholders possessing
prescribed qualifications.

          The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, the
Pacific Stock Exchange and the International Stock Exchange of the United
Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Ltd. Chemical Bank is the transfer
agent and registrar for the Common Stock.

          Each share of Common Stock has associated with it one right (a
"Right") to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (or in certain cases other
securities) of the Company. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a
Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") dated as of January 20, 1994,
between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Rights Agent. Prior to the
occurrence of certain events, including a determination by the Board of
Directors following the public disclosure of a tender or exchange offer for
shares of Common Stock representing 15% or more of the outstanding shares
of the Common Stock, the Rights will not be represented by separate
certificates and will be transferable with and only with the associated
Common Stock.

          Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, in the event that, among other
things, a third party acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more of the
outstanding shares of the Common Stock, each holder of Rights will be
entitled to purchase securities of the Company having a market value equal
to twice the purchase price thereof. In certain circumstances, including an
acquisition involving 50% or more of the assets or earning power of the
Company, the Rights will become exercisable to purchase common shares of
the acquiror having a market value equal to twice the purchase price
thereof. In addition, Rights held by an Acquiring Person (as defined in the
Rights Agreement) will become null and void, nontransferable and
nonexercisable.

          The Rights Agreement provides that the Rights will not become
exercisable in the event of a Qualifying Offer. A "Qualifying Offer" is
defined as an all-cash tender offer for all outstanding shares of the
Common Stock that meets certain fairness requirements, including the
provision of a written opinion of a nationally recognized investment
banking firm stating that the price to be paid to stockholders pursuant to
the offer is fair from a financial point of view.

          Subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem the Rights
in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right. The Rights will
expire on January 20, 2004, unless earlier redeemed by the Company.
Concurrent with the closing of TBS Transaction, the Company expects to
amend the Rights Agreement in the manner described in the Company's Current
Report on Form 8-K dated September 22, 1995.


<PAGE>

          The foregoing summary of certain terms of the Rights does not
purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety
by reference to, the Rights Agreement, a copy of which is on file with the
Commission.

                              THE ACQUISITION

          On May 2, 1995 (the "Closing Date"), Summit Communications Group
Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Summit"), was acquired by the Company and
became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Acquisition"),

liquidation value of $100 per share, is convertible into 6,798,796 million
shares of Common Stock at a conversion price of $48 per share, receives for

                            PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

          The Common Stock covered by this Prospectus may be offered for
sale by the Selling Shareholders from time to time subject to applicable
provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement. Pursuant to provisions of
the Registration Rights Agreement, this Prospectus shall not be available
for the offer and sale of Common Stock during the Blackout Periods and
Holdback Periods which are described below. Pursuant to provisions of the
Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is required to maintain the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement to which this Prospectus
relates for a period of up to 36 calendar months.

          Under the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement and subject
to certain limitations set forth therein, the Company may determine that
the Registration Statement to which this Prospectus relates will not be
usable by Selling Shareholders for reasonable periods of time not in excess
of 90 consecutive days (a "Blackout Period"), if the Company (i) determines
in good faith that the registration and distribution of the Common Stock or
the use of this Prospectus would interfere with or require premature
disclosure of any pending financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization
or other corporate development involving the Company or any of its
subsidiaries, and (ii) promptly gives the Selling Shareholders written
notice containing a general statement of the reasons for the postponement
or restriction on use of the Registration Statement and an approximation of
the length of the anticipated delay. The Registration Rights Agreement
provides that the number of days included in all Blackout Periods during
any consecutive twelve months may not exceed 180 days.

          The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that, subject to
certain limitations set forth therein, the Company may require Selling
Shareholders to refrain for a specified period of time from any public sale
or distribution of the Common Stock covered by this Prospectus (a
"Holdback"), if the Company (i) has filed a registration statement relating
to its Common Stock or certain related securities, and (ii) advises Selling
Shareholders with reasonable prior notice that the Company or the Company's
underwriters have determined that the public sale or distribution of the
Common Stock covered by this Prospectus would adversely affect the
securities offered by the registration statement referred to in clause (i).
Under the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, such Holdback
shall be in effect for a period of 10 days before and 90 days after the
effective date of the registration statement referred to in clause (i).

          The Common Stock covered by this Prospectus may be offered for
sale from time to time by the Selling Shareholders to or through
underwriters or directly to other purchasers or through agents in one or
more transactions on any exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, in
the over-the-counter market, in one or more private transactions or in a
combination of such methods of sale, at prices and on terms then
prevailing, at prices related to such prices or at negotiated prices. Such
methods of distribution may include, without limitation: (a) a block trade
in which the broker-dealer so engaged will attempt to sell the Common Stock
as agent but may position and resell a portion of the block as a principal
to facilitate the transaction; (b) purchases by a broker-dealer as a
principal and resale by such broker-dealer for its own account pursuant to
this Prospectus; and (c) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions
in which the broker solicits purchasers. This Prospectus may be amended and
supplemented from time to time to describe a specific plan of distribution.



<PAGE>

          In connection with distributions of the Common Stock or
otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging transactions
with broker-dealers or other financial institutions. In connection with
such transactions, broker-dealers or other financial institutions may
engage in short sales of Common Stock in the course of hedging the
positions they assume with Selling Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders
may also sell Common Stock short and redeliver the shares to close out such
short positions. The Selling Shareholders may also enter into options or
other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions
which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or financial institution
of the Common Stock offered hereby, which Common Stock such broker-dealer
or other financial institutions may, subject to the Stockholder's
Agreement, resell pursuant to this Prospectus (as supplemented or amended
to reflect such transaction). The Selling Shareholders may also pledge the
shares registered hereunder to a broker-dealer or other financial
institution and, upon a default, such broker-dealer or other financial
institution may, subject to the Stockholders' Agreement, effect sales of
the pledged Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus. In addition, any
Common Stock covered by this Prospectus that qualifies for sale pursuant to
Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 under the Securities Act rather than
pursuant to this Prospectus.

          Brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form
of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling Shareholders in
amounts to be negotiated in connection with sales pursuant hereto. Any such
remuneration will be disclosed in a prospectus or prospectus supplement
filed under the Securities Act. Such brokers or dealers and any other
participating brokers or dealers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within
the meaning of the Securities Act, in connection with such sales and any
such commission, discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting
discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.

          Certain costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the Common Stock, including certain costs of legal counsel
for the Selling Shareholders, will be borne by the Company. Commissions,
discounts and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the sales of the
Common Stock will be borne by the Selling Shareholders, as may a portion of
the costs of legal counsel for the Selling Shareholders. The Selling
Shareholders have agreed to indemnify the Company or any underwriter, as
the case may be, and any of their respective affiliates, directors,
officers and controlling persons, against certain liabilities in connection
with the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. In addition, the
Company has agreed to indemnify the Selling Shareholders or any
underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their respective affiliates,
directors, officers and controlling persons, against certain liabilities in
connection with the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this
Prospectus, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 15.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

          Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as
other employees and individuals against expenses (including attorneys'
fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement in connection with
specified actions, suits or proceedings, whether civil, criminal,
administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of
the corporation -- a "derivative action"), if they acted in good faith and
in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best
interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or
proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful.
A similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions, except
that indemnification only extends to expenses (including attorneys' fees)
actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or
settlement of such action, and the statute requires court approval before
there can be any indemnification where the person seeking indemnification
has been found liable to the corporation. The statute provides that it is
not exclusive of other indemnification that may be granted by a
corporation's charter, by-laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder
vote, agreement or otherwise.

          Article VI of By-Laws of the Company requires indemnification to
the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law of any person who is or was
a director or officer of the Company who is or was involved or threatened
to be made so involved in any action, suit or proceeding, whether criminal,
civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that such
person is or was serving as a director, officer or employee of the Company
or any predecessor of the Company or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer or employee of any other enterprise.

          Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the
certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder, such
as the Company, eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions, the
personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Section 1,
Article X of the Certificate of 


<PAGE>


Incorporation of the Company eliminates the liability of directors to the
extent permitted by Section 102(b)(7).

          The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed provisions
of Section 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article VI of such By-laws and
Section 1, Article X of such Certificate of Incorporation, as applicable.

          The Company's Directors' and Officers' Liability and
Reimbursement Insurance Policy is designed to reimburse the Company for
any payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing indemnification. Such
policy has coverage of $50,000,000.

          (2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act, each such post- effective amendment shall be deemed to
     be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered
     therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be
     deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

          (3) to remove from registration by means of a post-effective
     amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
     at the termination of the offering.

          B. Undertaking Regarding Filings Incorporating Subsequent
Exchange Act Documents by Reference.

          The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Company's annual
report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and,
where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report
pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new
Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide offering thereof.

          C. Undertaking in Respect of Indemnification.

          Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions described and the
documents referenced under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Company has
been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim
for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the
registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any
action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or
controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Company will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been
settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against
public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by
the final adjudication of such issue.
