         Children's Broadcasting Corporation (the "Company") hereby amends its

1997, and amended on September 23, 1997, September 30, 1997, October 1, 1997,
July 2, 1998, July 17, 1998, and November 23, 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 1 through 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated
         to read as follows:

Item 1:  Security and Issuer.

         The title of the class of equity securities to which this statement
         relates is Common Stock. The issuer of such securities is Harmony
         Holdings, Inc. ("Harmony"), a Delaware corporation, with its principal
         executive offices at 5501 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota
         55416.

Item 2:  Identity and Background.

         This statement is filed by Children's Broadcasting Corporation, a
         Minnesota corporation, with its principal business and principal
         executive offices at 5501 Excelsior Boulevard, Minneapolis, Minnesota
         55416.

         The attached Schedule I is a list of the executive officers and
         directors of the Company which contains the following information
         regarding each person listed on such schedule:

         (a)   name;
         (b)   residence or business address;
         (c)   present principal occupation or employment and, if other than the
               Company, the name, principal business and address of any
               corporation or other organization in which such employment is
               conducted; and
         (d)   citizenship.

         During the past five years, neither the Company nor, to the best of the
         Company's knowledge, any person named in Schedule I has been convicted
         in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar
         misdemeanors) of competent jurisdiction as a result of which it was or
         is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
         violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to,
         federal or state securities laws or finding any violation with respect
         to such laws.

Item 3:  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

         The Company purchased the 225,000 shares of Common Stock at $1.06 per
         share including commissions 0-using its working capital.

Item 4:  Purpose of Transaction.

         The Company purchased the Shares to increase the Company's investment
         in Harmony and to consolidate for financial reporting purposes. 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 funds in Harmony, if necessary, 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, indirectly or directly 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 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.
