ITEM 1.   SECURITY AND ISSUER

     This Amendment No. 5 to Schedule 13D relates to shares of common stock, 
par value $.01 per share (the "Shares"), of Telemundo Group, Inc. a Delaware 
corporation (the "Issuer").  The common stock of the Issuer consists of two 
series:  Class A ("Class A Shares") and Class B ("Class B Shares").  The 
principal executive offices of the Issuer are located at 2290 West 8th 
Avenue, Hialeah, Florida 33010.

     This Amendment No. 5 amends the initial statement and Amendments No. 1 
through No. 4, to the Schedule 13D, previously filed by Bastion 
(collectively, the "Initial Statements") and is being filed to report the 
matters set forth in Item 4 hereof.  Reference is made to the Initial 
Statements for information concerning certain defined terms used herein and 
not otherwise defined herein.  The Initial Statements are 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 strtegic partners.  In connection therewith, 
Lazard has sought proposals from potential stategic partners regarding 
possible stategic transactions, including, among other things, the sale of 
all of the Shares.  In connection with this process, certain entities (the 
"Affiliated Entities") with which Bastion is affiliated have in conjunction 
with unafilliated persons submitted a proposal (the "Proposal") to Lazard 
which contemplates the acquisition of all of the Shares.  The Board of 
Directors of the Issuer has established a group of Board members, who are not 
affiliated with Bastion or the Affiliated Entities, to evaluate the Proposal 
and any other proposals for possible stategic transactions which may be 
received from other persons. There can be no assurance that the acquisition 
contemplated by the Proposal, or any other stategic transactions, will be 
accepted by the Issuer or, if accepted, will be consummated.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

     (a)  Bastion is the beneficial owner of (i) 964,997 Class A Shares 
(approximately 16.4% of the Class A Shares outstanding) and (ii) 882,688 
Class B Shares (approximately 21.4% of the Class B Shares outstanding).  The 
1,847,685 Shares owned by Bastion represent approximately 18.5% of the total 
Shares outstanding.
