                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT


The Heritage Media Corporation
  Retirement Savings Plan:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of Heritage Media Corporation Retirement Savings Plan as of December
31, 1993 and 1992, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for plan benefits for the years then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan's management.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of Heritage
Media Corporation Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and
the changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

Our audit of the Plan's financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1993 was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.  The information in supplemental
schedules I and II is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and is
not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF
1974.  The supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements as of and for the year
ended December 31, 1993 and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

               HERITAGE MEDIA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                           December 31, 1993 and 1992


(1)  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

    (a)   GENERAL

        The Heritage Media Corporation Retirement Savings Plan  ("the Plan") is
        a defined contribution plan which is sponsored by Heritage Media
        Corporation and its subsidiaries ("the Company" or "HMC") and is subject
        to the provisions of the EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974
        ("ERISA").

        During 1993, the Plan was amended and restated effective January 1, 1993
        (see note 2).

    (b)   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

        The accompanying financial statements have been prepared on the accrual
        basis of accounting using current quoted market values for determining
        the fair value of investments.  Purchases and sales of securities are
        recorded on a trade date basis.

        The Fixed Income Fund is stated at contract value which approximates
        cost and fair value.  Contract value represents contributions made under
        the contract plus interest at the contract rate.

        The investment in participant loans is stated at the unpaid principal
        balance of the loans, which approximates fair value.

        Benefits are recorded when paid.

(2)  PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND CONTRIBUTIONS

    At December 31, 1993, the Trustee for the Plan was Shearson Barney Smith
    Trust Company.  The Trustee is responsible for maintaining appropriate
    records for the Plan and may invest the assets of the Plan at the direction
    of the Company.

    Prior to the 1993 restatement, the Company, at its discretion, contributed
    HMC stock to the Plan for eligible participants.  For the year ended
    December 31, 1992, the Company contributed HMC stock equivalent to 1.4% of
    gross payroll.  As a result of the restatement of the Plan, effective
    January 1, 1993, the Company, at its discretion, was permitted to contribute
    a matching amount of participants' eligible contributions, up to 6% of
    compensation, in any combination of cash or HMC Class A common stock.  For
    the year ended December 31, 1993, the Company made matching cash
    contributions equal to 50% of each participant's eligible contributions.


                                                                 (Continued)

    individual who becomes an employee on or after January 1, 1990 through
    acquisition of such individual's employer and whose employment is expected
    to be not less than 1,000 hours in any consecutive twelve-month period shall
    become eligible to participate in the Plan on the first day of the first
    payroll period commencing on or after the individual becomes an employee.
    Once eligible, a participant may make voluntary contributions in any amount
    not less than .5% and not more than 15% of their compensation subject to
    deferral limitations imposed by the Internal Revenue Code ("the Code").

    Participants immediately vest in contributions made from a participant's
    compensation.  Prior to the restatement of the Plan, participants vested in
    the Company's contributions 20% per year after completing three years of
    continuous service, or upon reaching the retirement age of 65.  Effective
    January 1, 1993, the participants vest in the Company's contributions 25%
    per year after completing two years of continuous service, or upon reaching
    the retirement age of 65, or upon their death or disability.  Company
    contributions for Plan years ending December 31, 1987 through 1992 which are
    subsequently forfeited by terminated employees are first used to reduce Plan
    administrative expenses, and any excess amounts are reallocated to the
    Plan's remaining participants based on the ratio of a participant's pay to
    gross payroll.  Company matching contributions forfeited subsequent to
    January 1, 1993 are first used to reduce Plan administrative expenses, and
    any excess amounts are used to reduce any matching contributions of the
    Company.  Benefits are paid, at the discretion of the participant, in either
    a lump-sum distribution or in monthly, quarterly or annual installments over
    a fixed period of time when a participant reaches the retirement age of 65
    or terminates service with the Company.

(4)  INVESTMENT PROGRAMS

    For the year ended December 31, 1992, all Company contributions made to the
    Plan were invested in HMC Class A common stock.  Effective January 1, 1993,
    Company matching contributions to the Plan are invested in HMC Class A
    common stock and investment funds in proportion to the participants'
    contributions in connection with the matching provision of the Plan.  Funds
    from previous companies' plans and rollovers from qualified plans are
    invested in the investment funds at the participants' direction.  Provisions
    of the Plan allow participant contributions in 25% increments to be invested
    in any of the funds, including HMC Class A common stock.


                                                                     (Continued)

                          Notes to Financial Statements


    The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

    - EQUITY INCOME FUND - consists of such equity securities or other
      investments as are reasonably expected to provide increasing income and
      long-term appreciation of capital, including common stocks and securities
      convertible into common stocks, or common trust funds or pooled funds
      investing in such securities.    Through July 12, 1993, this fund
      included the Janus Fund.  Subsequent to July 12, 1993, this fund included
      the TRAK Large Capitalization Growth Investments Fund, the TRAK Large
      Capitalization Value Equity Investments Fund and the TRAK Small
      Capitalization Value Equity Investments Fund from July 13, 1993 through
      December 31, 1993.

    - FIXED INCOME FUND - In 1992, the Plan entered into a deposit contract
      with Connecticut General Life Insurance Company ("CIGNA").  CIGNA
      maintains the contributions in a pooled account.  The account is credited
      with actual earnings on the underlying investments, principally
      investments in cash, notes, commercial paper, or bonds (including both
      those issued by corporations and by the United States government) and
      other securities and obligations of the United States government and
      agencies thereof, savings accounts and mutual funds having investment
      characteristics similar to any one or more of the foregoing, and charged
      for plan withdrawals and administration expenses charged by CIGNA.  The
      contract is included in the financial statements at the December 31, 1993
      and 1992 contract values as reported to the Plan by CIGNA.

    - HMC CLASS A COMMON STOCK FUND - consists solely and exclusively of
      qualifying Company securities. HMC Class A Common Stock is the only
      Company security which presently qualifies as an investment of the Plan.

    - MONEY MARKET FUND AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS - consists of investments in
      cash, notes, commercial paper, bonds, savings accounts, and other short-
      term debt securities or mutual funds having investment characteristics
      similar to any one or more of the foregoing.  Through July 12, 1993,
      these funds included the Fidelity Cash Reserves Fund and NationsBank
      Short-term Investment Fund.  Subsequent to July 12, 1993, this fund
      included the TRAK Total Return Fund and the Shearson Barney Smith Reserve
      Deposit Fund.


                                                                     (Continued)

(5)  PARTICIPANT LOANS

    Effective January 1, 1993, participants may borrow from their fund accounts
    a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of
    their vested balance at a market rate of interest.  Loans must be repaid in
    installments, at least quarterly, over a period not to exceed five years.
    Each loan is secured by 50% of the participant's vested balance.  All such
    loans are considered a segregated investment by the Plan.  Principal and
    interest payments made by a participant on a participant loan are held in an
    interest bearing segregated account on behalf of the participant until such
    time as the Trustee deems it appropriate to add the amount paid to the
    participant's account.  Such payments are added to the participant's account
    using the participant's current investment elections.

(6)  PARTICIPANT ACCOUNTS

    Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
    and an allocation of the Company's contribution and Plan earnings.
    Allocations are based on participant earnings or account balances.  The
    benefit to which a participant is entitled is the benefit that can be
    provided from the participant's vested account.


                                                                    (Continued)

<PAGE>


               HERITAGE MEDIA CORPORATION RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN

                          Notes to Financial Statements


    The Company may make contributions to the Plan as determined by its Board of
    Directors and may set the maximum permissible amount to be allocated to each
    participant's account based on annual salary.  No participant contributions
    will be allocated to individual participant accounts unless such
    participants have completed a minimum of 1,000 hours of service during the
    Plan year, nor will amounts be allocated to participants who are not
    employed on the last day of the Plan year.  Exceptions to this provision
    include death, disability and attainment of normal retirement age.

(7)  INCOME TAXES

    The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by a
    letter dated June 30, 1994 that the Plan and related trust are designed in
    accordance with applicable sections of the Code.  Therefore, no provision
    for income taxes has been included in the Plan's financial statements.

(8)  PLAN TERMINATION

    Although it has not expressed any intention to do so, the Company has the
    right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to
    terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of
    termination, participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.
