                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                     (IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)


NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION:

        The  accompanying  consolidated  balance sheet as of September 30, 1995,
the  consolidated  statements of operations for the three and nine month periods
ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the consolidated  statements of cash flows
for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994 are unaudited,  but in the
opinion  of  management  include  adjustments  (consisting  of normal  recurring
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 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
35,643 and 34,226 for the three month periods ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively  and 34,036 and 28,889 for the nine month periods  ended  September
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 September 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  September 30, 1995, the Company
repurchased  301  shares  at a  cost  of  $4,330.  The  Company  repurchased  an
additional 91 shares at a cost of $1,468 in October 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 SEPTEMBER  30, 1995 COMPARED
  WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER  30, 1994

        Westwood One derives  substantially  all of its revenue from the sale of
advertising time to advertisers.  Net revenue increased $1,814, or 5% to $38,305
in the third quarter of 1995 from $36,491 in the comparable  prior year quarter.
The  increase  in net  revenue  was  primarily  a result  of  increased  program
offerings as well as higher rates offset in part by the absence of revenues from
certain unprofitable programs that were discontinued in 1994.

        Operating costs and expenses  excluding  depreciation  and  amortization
increased $172 to $26,959 in the third quarter of 1995 from $26,787 in the third
quarter of 1994.  The increase was primarily  attributable  to additional  costs
related to new program  offerings  and higher sales costs,  partially  offset by
lower affiliate compensation expenses.

        Depreciation  and  amortization  decreased  24% to  $3,502  in the third
quarter  of 1995 from  $4,637 in the third  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 32% to $1,393 in
1995 from $1,057 in 1994.  The  increase  is  primarily  attributable  to higher
compensation expense.

        Interest  expense  decreased  7% to $2,251 in the third  quarter of 1995
from $2,422 in the third quarter of 1994. The decrease is  attributable to lower
debt levels resulting from the prepayment of Term Loans.

        Net income in the third quarter  increased  147% to $4,099,  or $.12 per
share, in 1995 from $1,658,  or $ .05 per share,  in 1994. The weighted  average
number of shares outstanding  (including common stock equivalents)  increased 4%
to 35,643 in the  third  quarter  of 1995  from  34,226 in the  comparable  1994
quarter.



NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1995 COMPARED
  WITH NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER  30, 1994

        Net revenue for the first nine months of 1995  increased  9% to $107,284
in 1995 from  $98,694  in the first nine  months of 1994.  The  increase  in net
revenue was primarily a result of the purchase of Unistar in February 1994.

        Operating  costs and expenses  increased 4% to $79,669 in the first nine
months of 1995 from  $76,532 in the  comparable  1994  period.  The increase was
primarily  attributable  to the purchase of Unistar,  partially  offset by lower
affiliate compensation expenses.

        Depreciation and amortization decreased 25% to $10,253 in the first nine
months of 1995 from  $13,597 in the first nine months 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 20%, to $4,128
in the first nine months of 1995 from $3,431 in 1994's  first nine  months.  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  12% to $7,318 in the first nine  months of
1995 as  compared to $6,534 in the first nine  months 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 $5,842, or $.17 per share, in the
first nine months of 1995 as compared  to a loss  before  extraordinary  item of
$3,575,  or $.12 per share,  in the first nine months of 1994, an improvement of
$9,417.

        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 $5,842  ($.17 per share) in the first nine months of 1995
as  compared  to a net loss of $4,165  ($.14 per share) in the  comparable  1994
period.  The weighted  average  number of shares  outstanding  increased  18% to
34,036 in 1995 from  28,889 in 1994.  Due to net income in the first nine months
of 1995, the weighted  average number of shares for 1995 includes  common stock
equivalents.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        At September 30, 1995,  the  Company's  cash and cash  equivalents  were
$4,558, an increase of $2,119 from December 31, 1994.

        For the nine months  ended  September  30, 1995 net cash from  operating
activities was $17,044 as compared to a net use of cash for operating activities
of $372 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 nine months of 1995,  the Company  repaid $12,500 of
Term Loans and repurchased 301 shares of its Common Stock at a cost of $4,330.
