                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                   ------------------------------------------
                     (In thousands, except per share data)


NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation:
------------------------------

         The  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet as of June 30, 1995, the
consolidated  statements of operations for the three and six month periods ended
June 30, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six
months  ended  June  30,  1995 and 1994 are  unaudited,  but in the  opinion  of
management  include  adjustments  necessary  for  a  fair  presentation  of  the
financial position and the results of operations for the periods presented.

         These  financial  statements  should  be read in  conjunction  with the
Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K,  filed with the  Securities  and Exchange
Commission.

NOTE 2 - Earnings Per Share:
----------------------------

         Net income (loss) per share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of shares outstanding and Common Stock equivalents in periods where there
is net  income.  The  number of shares  used to compute  earnings  per share are
35,426 and  33,289 for the three  month  periods  ended June 30,  1995 and 1994,
respectively and 35,124 and 27,914 for the six month periods ended June 30, 1995
and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 3 - Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debit:
---------------------------------------------------------

         In addition to its long-term  debt,  the Company has a $15,000  secured
revolving  credit facility  ("Revolver").  At June 30, 1995, the Company did not
have any borrowing outstanding under the Revolver.

NOTE 4 - Repurchase of Common Stock:
------------------------------------

     In the  second  quarter  of 1995,  the  Company  amended  its  senior  loan
agreement  with a syndicate of banks to permit the Company to  repurchase  up to
$15,000 of its Common  Stock prior to December 31,  1996.  On June 9, 1995,  the
Company was authorized to repurchase shares of its Common Stock for an aggregate
purchase  price  not to exceed  $15,000.  Through  June 30,  1995,  the  Company
repurchased  101  shares  at a  cost  of  $1,447.  The  Company  repurchased  an
additional 125 shares at a cost of $1,624 in July 1995.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                 ---------------------------------------------
                    (In thousands, except per share amounts)

         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.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED
  WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
-----------------------------------------

         Westwood One derives  substantially all of its revenue from the sale of
advertising time to advertisers. Net revenue increased $1,407, or 4%, to $37,558
in the second quarter of 1995 from $36,151 in the comparable prior year quarter.
The  increase  in net revenue was  primarily a result of  increasing  commercial
inventory rates and adding syndicated programs.

         Operating costs and expenses  excluding  depreciation  and amortization
decreased  $163 to  $25,779 in the  second  quarter of 1995 from  $25,942 in the
second  quarter of 1994.  The decrease  was  primarily  attributable  to expense
reductions,  partially  offset  by  additional  costs  related  to  new  program
offerings.

         Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  25% to $3,524 in the second
quarter of 1995 from  $4,728 in the  second  quarter of 1994.  The  decrease  is
principally  attributable to lower  amortization of programming costs and rights
due to lower capitalized balances.

         Corporate general and  administrative  expenses increased 29% to $1,517
in 1995 from $1,140 in 1994.  The increase is primarily  attributable  to higher
compensation expense.

          Interest expense  increased 7% to $2,430 in the second quarter of 1995
from  $2,266 in the second  quarter of 1994.  The  increase is  attributable  to
higher  interest rates on the Company's  borrowings,  partially  offset by lower
debt levels resulting from the prepayment of Term Loans.

         Net income in the second quarter  increased 94% to $4,235,  or $.12 per
share,  in 1995 from $2,183,  or $.07 per share,  in 1994. The weighted  average
number of shares outstanding  (including common stock equivalents)  increased 6%
to 35,426 in the  second  quarter  of 1995 from  33,289 in the  comparable  1994
quarter.


SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1995 COMPARED
  WITH SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1994
---------------------------------------

         Net revenue for the first half of fiscal 1995  increased 11% to $68,979
in 1995 from $62,203 in the first half of 1994.  The increase in net revenue was
primarily a result of the purchase of Unistar in February 1994.

         Operating costs and expenses  increased 6% to $52,710 in the first half
of 1995 from $49,745 in the comparable  1994 period.  The increase was primarily
attributable to the purchase of Unistar.

         Depreciation and amortization decreased 25% to $6,751 in the first half
of 1995 from  $8,960 in the first  half of 1994.  The  decrease  is  principally
attributable to lower  amortization of programming costs and rights due to lower
capitalized  balances,  partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization
resulting from the purchase of Unistar in February 1994.

         Corporate general and administrative  expenses increased 15%, to $2,735
in the first half of 1995 from  $2,374 in 1994's  first  half.  The  increase is
attributable  to  higher  compensation   expense  and  the  Infinity  Management
Agreement,  which  went  into  effect  in  February  1994,  partially  offset by
across-the-board expense reductions.

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

         Interest  expense  increased 23% to $5,067 in the first half of 1995 as
compared  to $4,112 in the  first  half of 1994.  The  increase  is  principally
attributable to higher debt levels as a result of the acquisition of Unistar and
higher interest rates.

         Income before  extraordinary item was $1,743, or $.05 per share, in the
first half of 1995 as compared to a loss before extraordinary item of $5,233, or
$.19 per share, in the first half of 1994, an improvement of $6,976.

         In connection  with the  refinancing of its senior debt  facility,  the
Company in the first  quarter of 1994  recorded  an  extraordinary  loss of $590
($.02 per share).

         Net  income  was  $1,743  ($.05 per share) in the first half of 1995 as
compared to a net loss of $5,823 ($.21 per share) in the comparable 1994 period.
The weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  increased 26% to 35,124 in
1995 from  27,914 in 1994.  Due to net  income  in the first  half of 1995,  the
weighted average number of shares for 1995 includes common stocks equivalents.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
-------------------------------


         At June 30, 1995, the Company's cash and cash  equivalents were $1,547,
a decrease of $892 from December 31, 1994.

         For the six  months  ended  June  30,  1995  net  cash  from  operating
activities was $8,614 as compared to a net use of cash for operating  activities
of $6,332 in 1994.  The  improvement  is  principally  attributable  to improved
operating results and lower working capital requirements.

         On June 9,  1995,  the Board of  Directors  authorized  the  Company to
repurchase  up to $15,000 of its Common Stock  through  December  31, 1996.  The
Company has used its excess cash to prepay its Term Loans and to repurchase  its
Common  Stock.  In the first half of 1995,  the Company  prepaid  $8,750 of Term
Loans and repurchased 101 shares of its Common Stock at a cost of $1,447.

         In July 1995, the Company  prepaid $3,750 of Term Loans and repurchased
an additional 125 shares of Common Stock at a cost of $1,624.  As a result,  the
outstanding balance of the Company's Term Loans was reduced to $92,500.

         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.
