          This Amendment No. 2 to statement on Schedule 13D relates to shares of
common  stock,  $.01 par value (the  "Shares"),  of  Telemundo  Group,  Inc.,  a
Delaware  corporation  (the  "Issuer").  This Amendment No. 2 amends the initial
statement  on Schedule 13D dated  January 9, 1995,  as  heretofore  amended (the
"Initial  Schedule  13D").  Reference  is made to the Initial  Schedule  13D for
information  concerning  certain  defined  terms used  herein and not  otherwise
defined herein. The Initial Schedule 13D is supplementally  amended as set forth
herein.


ITEM 4.   PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

          As  previously  announced by the Issuer,  it has hired the  investment
banking firm of Lazard Freres & Co. LLC  ("Lazard") to assist it in  discussions
with potential strategic partners.  In connection  therewith,  Lazard has sought
proposals  from  potential  strategic  partners  regarding a variety of possible
strategic transactions.  In connection with this process,  certain entities (the
"Affiliated  Entities")  with which Mr. Black and Bastion are affiliated have in
conjunction with  unaffiliated  persons submitted a proposal (the "Proposal") to
Lazard which  contemplates  the acquisition of all of the outstanding  Shares of
the  Common  Stock of the  Issuer.  The Board of  Directors  of the  Issuer  has
indicated  to the  Reporting  Persons that it has  established  a group of Board
members,  who are not  affiliated  with Mr.  Black,  Bastion  or the  Affiliated
Entities,  with  exclusive  responsibility  for  evaluating the Proposal and any
other proposals for possible strategic transactions which the Issuer may receive
from other persons. The Issuer has indicated that there can be no assurance that
the  acquisition   contemplated   by  the  Proposal,   or  any  other  strategic
transactions,  will  be  accepted  by  the  Issuer  or,  if  accepted,  will  be
consummated.


ITEM 5.   INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

          (a)  i) The 1,550,465  Series B Shares of which TLMD may be considered
the direct  beneficial owner represent  approximately  15.3% of the total Shares
outstanding  and, as a result of the conversion of Series B Shares into Series A
Shares in accordance with the provisions of the Issuer's  Certificate by persons
unaffiliated  with  the  Reporting  Persons,  such  1,550,465  Series  B  Shares
currently  represent  approximately 50% of the Series B Shares outstanding (such
percentage,  and all other  percentages  set forth  herein,  are based  upon the
Reporting  Persons'  understanding  that 7,062,544 Series A Shares and 3,103,112
Series B Shares were  outstanding,  and without giving effect to the exercise of
warrants, options or similar rights).

               ii) Mr. Black may be deemed to be the direct  beneficial owner of
202,933  Shares,  comprising  200,000 Series B Shares and 2,933 Series A Shares.
The  202,933  Shares of which  Mr.  Black may be  deemed  the  beneficial  owner
represent  approximately  2.0% of the total Shares  outstanding and such 200,000
Series B Shares currently  represent,  as a result of the conversion of Series B
Shares into Series A Shares in  accordance  with the  provisions of the Issuer's
Certificate by persons  unaffiliated with the Reporting  Persons,  approximately
6.4% of the Series B Shares outstanding.

               Lion  Advisors  for the benefit of an  investment  account  under
management  over which Lion  Advisors  has  exclusive  voting,  dispositive  and
investment  power,  is the  beneficial  owner  of  29,242  Warrants.  AIF is the
beneficial  owner of  12,532  Warrants.  Each  Warrant  represents  the right to
receive one Series A Share upon the payment of the  exercise  price of $7.00 per
Warrant  (such  number of Warrants  represents  less than 1% of the total Shares
outstanding).  TLMD and Mr. Black disclaim beneficial  ownership of the Warrants
held by Lion Advisors and AIF.

               iii) The Reporting Persons  understand that Bastion  beneficially
owns  964,997  Series A  Shares  and  882,688  Series  B  Shares  and  Hernandez
beneficially  owns  49,998  Series A Shares  and  450,001  Series B Shares.  The
Reporting Persons and the Other  Shareholders may be deemed to be the beneficial
owners of, in the aggregate,  4,101,084 Shares, representing approximately 40.4%
of the  total  Shares  outstanding.  As a result of the  conversion  of Series B
Shares into Series A Shares in  accordance  with the  provisions of the Issuer's
Certificate  by persons  unaffiliated  with the Reporting  Persons,  the 882,688
Series B Shares  beneficially  owned by Bastion and the 450,001  Series B Shares
beneficially owned by Hernandez Partners,  L.P., when aggregated with the Series
B  Shares  directly  owned  by  the  Reporting  Persons,   currently  represents
approximately 99% of the Series B Shares outstanding. The Reporting Persons also
understand that Roland Hernandez, a general partner of Hernandez Partners,  L.P.
and Chief  Executive  Officer of the  Issuer,  holds  options  representing  the
immediate  right to purchase  416,407  Series A Shares which are not included in
the foregoing  figures.  The  information as to persons other than the Reporting
Persons is made to the best  knowledge of the  Reporting  Persons.  TLMD and Mr.
Black disclaim  beneficial  ownership of any Shares held by each other or by the
Other Shareholders.  Neither Hernandez Partners,  L.P. nor Roland Hernandez is a
participant in making the Proposal.
