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, 1996, the
consolidated statements of operations and the consolidated statements of cash
flows for the three month periods ended March 31, 1996 are unaudited, but in the
opinion of management include all 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 loss per share is computed based upon the weighted average number
of shares outstanding of 31,307 and 31,187 for the three month periods ended
March 31, 1996 and 1995, respectively.
NOTE 3 - DEBT:
- --------------
In March 1996, the Company borrowed an additional $15,000 under its
bank revolving credit facility (the "Facility") to complete its acquisition of
the operating assets of Shadow Traffic (see Note 4). At March 31, 1996 the
Company had outstanding borrowings of $107,500. In April the Company repaid
$1,250 of the Facility in accordance with its terms. The Company is currently in
negotiations with its lenders to amend its Facility.
NOTE 4 - ACQUISITION OF SHADOW TRAFFIC:
- ---------------------------------------
On March 1, 1996, the Company through its wholly-owned subsidiary
Westwood One Broadcasting Services Inc. acquired the operating assets of New
York Shadow Traffic Limited Partnership, Chicago Shadow Traffic Limited
Partnership, Los Angeles Shadow Traffic Limited Partnership and Philadelphia
Express Traffic Limited Partnership (collectively "Shadow Traffic") for $20,000
plus expenses, subject to an adjustment based on the future cash flow of Shadow
Traffic. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase, and accordingly,
Shadow Traffic's operating results are included with those of the Company from
the date of acquisition. The purchase price has been allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired based on preliminary estimates of their respective fair
values. The intangible assets acquired as part of the purchase are being
amortized over 15 years.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
---------------------------------------------
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
On March 1, 1996 the Company acquired the operating assets of Shadow
Traffic. The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and accordingly, Shadow
Traffic's operating results are included with those of the Company from the date
of acquisition.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1996 COMPARED
WITH THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995
--------------------------------------
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 8% to $33,848 in the first quarter of
1996 from $31,421 in the comparable prior year quarter. The increase in net
revenue was primarily due to higher advertising rates for the Company's programs
as well as the acquisition of Shadow Traffic.
Operating costs and expenses excluding depreciation and amortization
increased 6% to $28,411 in the first fiscal quarter of 1996 from $26,931 in the
first quarter of 1995. The increase was primarily attributable to the
acquisition of Shadow Traffic, partially offset by lower station compensation
expenses.
Depreciation and amortization decreased 12% to $2,844 in the first
quarter of 1996 from $3,227 in the first quarter of 1995. The decrease is
principally attributable to lower amortization of programming costs and rights,
partially offset by higher depreciation and amortization associated with the
acquisition of Shadow Traffic.
Operating income increased $1,285 to $1,330 in the first quarter of
1996 from $45 in the first quarter of 1995. The improvement is principally
attributable to lower costs and depreciation and amortization from the Company's
network radio operations.
Interest expense decreased 22% to $2,051 in the first quarter of 1996
from $2,637 in 1995. The decrease is principally attributable to lower debt
levels and interest rates.
The net loss decreased $1,853, or 74%, to $639 ($.02 per share) in the
first quarter of 1996 from $2,492 ($.08 per share) in the first quarter of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------
At March 31, 1996, the Company's cash and cash equivalents were $405,
an increase of $149 from December 31, 1995.
For the three months ended March 31, 1996 versus the comparable prior
year period, net cash from operating activities decreased $4,485, principally as
a result of reducing accounts payable and accrued liabilities.
In March 1996, the Company borrowed $15,000 on its revolving credit
facility (the "Facility") to complete the acquisition of Shadow Traffic.
Accordingly, the outstanding debt on the Facility was $107,500 at March 31,
1996. In April 1996, the Company repaid $1,250 of the Facility in accordance
with its terms, thereby reducing its outstanding balance to $106,250.
Management believes that the Company's cash and anticipated cash flow
from operations will be sufficient to finance current and forecasted operations
over the next 12 months.
