         Children's Broadcasting Corporation (the "Company") hereby amends its
statement on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") originally filed on July 31,
1997, and amended on September 23, 1997, September 30, 1997, October 1, 1997,
July 2, 1998 and July 17, 1998, with respect to its beneficial ownership of
shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common Stock"), of Harmony
Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Harmony").

         Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated to
read as follows:

Item 4:           Purpose of Transaction.

         The Company performed the Share Purchases (as hereinafter defined) to
         increase the Company's investment in Harmony. The Company reserves the
         right to purchase additional shares of Common Stock, on the open market
         or through direct purchases from Harmony, if it deems such action to be
         in its best interest.

         The Company has resolved to invest such funds in Harmony to allow it to
         meet its working capital requirements through June 30, 1999. Such
         investment may take the form of loans or the purchase of securities.

         The Company also intends, directly and through Harmony, to further
         expand its television commercial production business and holdings
         through acquisitions and the hiring of creative talent. Such
         acquisitions could potentially involve an extraordinary corporate
         transaction, such as a merger between the Company and Harmony. As of
         the date hereof, the Company does not have any understandings,
         commitments, agreements or plans with respect to any such acquisitions.

         Other than the information disclosed above, the Company does not
         presently have plans or proposals which relate to, or would result in,
         any of the matters listed in Paragraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of
         Schedule 13D.

Item 5:           Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

         THE REPORTING PERSON

         (a)      As of November 23, 1998, the Company beneficially owned
                  3,682,962 shares of Common Stock of Harmony, constituting
                  approximately 49.1% of the outstanding Common Stock of
                  Harmony.

         (b)      As of November 23, 1998, the Company had the sole power to
                  vote or to direct the vote and the sole power to dispose or to
                  direct the disposition of 3,682,962 shares of Common Stock of
                  Harmony.
