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

NOTE 1 - Basis of Presentation:
______________________________

    The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1995, the
consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 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 of Form 10-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission.

NOTE 2 - Earnings Per Share:
___________________________

    Net loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number of
shares outstanding of 31,187 and 25,271 for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

NOTE 3 - Revolving Credit Facilities and Long-Term Debt:
_______________________________________________________

    In addition to its long-term debt, the Company has a $15,000 secured
revolving credit facility ("Revolver").  At March 31, 1995, the Company did
not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver.

    In April 1995, the Company amended its senior loan agreement with a
syndicate of banks to allow for the prepayment of principal payments due
August 31, 1996 and prior and to permit the company to repurchase up to $15
million of its common stock prior to December 31, 1996.  On April 21, 1995,
the Company prepaid $6,250 of its Term Loans, resulting in an outstanding
balance of $96,250.  Accordingly, the next scheduled principal payment on the
Term Loans will be due on May 31, 1996.

               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 MARCH 31, 1995 COMPARED
  WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994
_________________________________________

    Westwood One derives substantially all of its revenue from the sale of
advertising time to advertisers.  Net revenue, which is seasonally low in the
Company's first fiscal quarter, increased 21% to $31,421 in the first quarter
of 1995 from $26,052 in the comparable prior year quarter.  The increase in
net revenue was primarily a result of the purchase of Unistar in February
1994.

    Operating costs and expenses excluding depreciation and amortization
increased 13% to $26,931 in the first fiscal quarter of 1994 from $23,803 in
the first quarter of 1994.  The increase was primarily attributable to the
purchase of Unistar and higher programming expenses.

    Depreciation and amortization decreased 24% to $3,227 in the first
quarter of 1995 from $4,232 in the first quarter of 1994.  The decrease is
principally attributable to lower amortization of programming costs and
rights, partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization resulting
from the purchase of Unistar in February 1994.

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

    The Company had operating income of $45 in the first quarter of 1995 as
compared to an operating loss of $5,622 in the first quarter of 1994, an
improvement of $5,667.  The improvement is principally attributable to the
non-recurrence of the 1994 restructuring costs, lower depreciation and
amortization and operating synergies resulting from the acquisition of Unistar
in 1994's first quarter.

    Interest expense increased 43% to $2,637 in the first quarter of 1995
from $1,846 in 1994.  The increase is principally attributable to higher debt
levels as a result of the purchase of Unistar and higher interest rates in
1995, partially offset by lower interest expense associated with the 1994
conversion of Senior Debentures to Common Stock.
    
    Other income, principally interest income, increased $48 to $100 in the
first quarter of 1995 from $52 in 1994.  The increase is attributable to
investing higher cash balances in the first quarter of 1995.

    Loss before extraordinary item decreased $4,924, or 66%, to $2,492 ($.08
per share) in the first quarter of 1995 from $7,416 ($.29 per share) in the
first quarter of 1994.  The weighted average number of shares outstanding
increased 23% to 31,187 in the first quarter of 1995 from 25,271 in 1994.  The
increase in weighted average shares was principally due to the sale of 5,000
shares of Common Stock to a subsidiary of Infinity Broadcasting Corporation
("Infinity") and the partial conversion of Senior Debentures to Common Stock.

                               - 7 -<PAGE>
<PAGE>

    In connection with the refinancing of its senior debt facility in the
first quarter of 1994, the Company recorded an extraordinary loss of $590
($.03 per share).  

    The net loss in the first quarter of 1995 was $2,492, or $.08 per share. 
The first quarter 1994 net loss was $8,006, or $.32 per share.
   
                                  
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
_______________________________

    At March 31, 1995, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $10,015,
an increase of $7,576 from December 31, 1994.  In addition, the Company had
available borrowings under its Revolver of $15,000.

    For the three months ended March 31, 1995 versus the comparable prior
year, net cash from operating activities increased $12,617, principally as a
result of lower working capital requirements, including receivables.  The
Company prepaid $2,500 of Term Loans in the first quarter of 1995.
                                   
    In April 1995, the Company prepaid $6,250 of Term Loans, thereby
reducing its outstanding balance to $96,250.  As a result of the prepayment,
the Company's next scheduled principal payment of its Term Loans will be due
on May 31, 1996.

    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.
