         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, November 23, 1998, and April 19, 1999 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 3 through 5 of the Schedule 13D are hereby amended and restated
to read as follows:


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

         The Company purchased an aggregate of 220,000 shares of Common Stock at
         prices ranging from $0.97 to $1.06 per share, including commissions,
         using its working capital. The Company paid approximately an aggregate
         of $223,303.50 for such shares.

Item 4:  Purpose of Transaction.

         The Company purchased the Shares 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 funds in Harmony, if necessary, to
         allow it to meet its working capital requirements through December 31,
         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.

         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.
