Item 1.   Description of Registrant's Capital Stock
_______   _________________________________________


     The  authorized  capital   stock  of  Infinity  Broadcasting
Corporation (the"Company") consists of 75,000,000 shares of Class
A  Common  Stock,   $.002  par  value  (the  "Class  A  Shares");
17,500,000 shares of Class  B Common Stock, $.002 par  value (the
"Class  B Shares"); 30,000,000  shares of  Class C  Common Stock,
$.002 par value (the "Class C Shares",  together with the Class A
and  Class B Shares, the "Common Stock"); and 1,000,000 shares of
Preferred Stock,  $.01 par  value (the  "Preferred Stock").   The
Company's  Class A  Shares are to  be registered on  the New York
Stock Exchange, Inc.

     Dividends.   Holders of shares  of Common Stock are entitled
to receive such  dividends as  may be declared  by the  Company's
Board  of  Directors  out  of funds  legally  available  for such
purpose.  No dividend may be declared or paid in cash or property
on  any share  of  any class  of  Common Stock,  however,  unless
simultaneously  the same  dividend is  declared or  paid on  each
share of  the other classes of Common Stock.   In the case of any
stock dividend, holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive
the same percentage dividend  (payable in Class A Shares)  as the
holders of Class B  Shares receive (payable in Class B Shares) or
the  holders  of  Class C  Shares  receive  (payable  in Class  C
Shares).

     Voting  Rights.  Holders of shares of Common Stock vote as a
     _______________
single   class  on  all  matters  submitted  to  a  vote  of  the
stockholders, with each Class A and Class C Share entitled to one
vote and each Class B Share entitled to ten votes, except (i) for
the  election of  directors, (ii)  with  respect to  any proposed
"going private" transaction between the Company and any of Gerald
Carrus,  Michael  A.  Wiener  and Mel  Karmazin  (the  "Principal
Stockholders"), and (iii) as otherwise provided by law.

     In the election of directors, the holders of Class A Shares,
voting  as a  separate class, are  entitled to  elect two  of the
Company's nine directors and  the holders of the Class  C Shares,
voting  as a  separate class,  are entitled  to elect two  of the
Company's  nine directors. The holders of Common Stock, voting as
a  single  class, with  each  Class  A Share  and  Class  C Share
entitled  to one  vote  and each  Class B  Share entitled  to ten
votes,  are  entitled  to  elect the  remaining  five  directors.
Holders of Common Stock  are not entitled to cumulative  votes in
the election of directors.

     In the event that all of the issued  and outstanding Class C
Shares are converted into  Class A Shares in accordance  with the
terms of the Company's  Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended,  the holders of the  remaining shares of the outstanding
classes  of Common  Stock,  voting as  a  single class,  will  be
entitled to elect the directors previously elected by the holders
of the Class C Shares.

     The holders of the Common Stock  vote as a single class with
respect  to  any  proposed  "going private"  transaction  with  a
Principal  Stockholder, with each  share of each  class of Common
Stock entitled to one vote per share.

                                       2

     Under Delaware law, the affirmative vote of the holders of a
majority of the outstanding  shares of any class of  common stock
is  required  to approve,  among other  things,  a change  in the
designations, preferences  and limitations of the  shares of such
class of common stock.

     Liquidation  Rights.    Upon  liquidation,  dissolution,  or
winding-up  of the  Company, the  holders of  Class A  Shares are
entitled to share ratably with the holders of Class B and Class C
Shares in all assets available for distribution after payment  in
full of creditors.

     Other Provisions.  Each Class B Share is convertible, at the
option  of its holder, into one  Class A Share at  any time.  One
Class  B Share converts automatically into one Class A Share upon
its  sale  or  other transfer  to  a  party  unaffiliated with  a
Principal  Stockholders  or, in  the event  of  a transfer  to an
affiliated party, upon the death of the transferor.  Each Class C
Share is convertible, at the option of its holder, into one Class
A  Share at any time.   One Class  C Share converts automatically
into one Class A Share upon its sale or other transfer to a party
unaffiliated  with certain  merchant  banking  partnerships  (the
"Lehman  Investors") affiliated  with Lehman  Brothers, Inc.   In
addition, all outstanding  Class C  Shares convert  automatically
into any  equal number of Class  A Shares upon the  date on which
the Lehman Investors no longer own  at least 10% of the shares of
all  classes  of Common  Stock on  a  fully diluted  basis.   The
holders  of  Common  Stock  are  not  entitled  to  preemptive or
subscription  rights.    The  shares of  Common  Stock  presently
outstanding are validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.  In
any   merger,  consolidation   or   business   combination,   the
consideration  to be  received per  share by  holders of  Class A
Shares must be  identical to that received by holders  of Class B
and Class C Shares, except that in  any such transaction in which
shares of Common Stock are distributed, such shares may differ as
to  voting rights  to the  extent that  voting rights  now differ
among the classes of Common Stock.  No class of  Common Stock may
be  subdivided, consolidated,  reclassified or  otherwise changed
unless  concurrently  the  other  classes  of  Common  Stock  are
subdivided,  consolidated, reclassified  or otherwise  changed in
the same proportion and in the same manner.

     Preferred  Stock.   The  1,000,000  authorized and  unissued
shares of Preferred  Stock may be issued  with such designations,
voting   powers,   preferences,   and  relative,   participating,
optional,   or   other   special  rights,   and   qualifications,
limitations  and restrictions  of such  rights, as  the Company's
Board of Directors may authorize, including,  but not limited to:
(i)  the distinctive designation of each series and the number of
shares  that will constitute such series; (ii) the voting rights,
if any, of shares of such series; (iii) the dividend  rate on the
shares of  such series, any restriction,  limitation or condition
upon  the payment of  such dividends, whether  dividends shall be
cumulative, and the  dates on which  dividends are payable;  (iv)
the  prices at which, and the  terms and conditions on which, the
shares  of  such  series may  be  redeemed,  if  such shares  are
redeemable; (v) the purchase or sinking  fund provisions, if any,
for the purchase or redemption of shares of such series; (vi) any
preferential amount  payable upon  shares of such  series in  the
event  of  the liquidation,  dissolution,  or  winding-up of  the
Company or the distribution  of its assets; and (vii)  the prices
or  rates of conversion at which, and the terms and conditions on
which,  the shares  of such  series may  be converted  into other
securities, if such shares are convertible.  Although the Company
has  no present intention to issue shares of Preferred Stock, the
issuance  of  Preferred  Stock,  or  the issuance  of  rights  to
purchase such shares, could discourage an unsolicited acquisition
proposal.
