Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.
----------------------
The response to Item 4 contained in the Schedule 13D dated March 26, 1997,
filed on August 28, 1997, is hereby amended to include the following:
Pursuant to an Amended and Restated Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated
as of March 26, 1997, among The Hearst Corporation, a Delaware corporation
("Hearst"), HAT Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Hearst ("Merger Sub"), HAT Contribution Sub, Inc., a Delaware
corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hearst, and Argyle, effective as of
August 29, 1997, Merger Sub merged with and into Argyle (the "Merger"), with
Argyle as the surviving corporation in the Merger renamed "Hearst-Argyle
Television, Inc."
The Voting Agreements between Hearst and certain stockholders of Argyle
terminated upon consummation of the Merger. As a consequence, the "group" of
such former Argyle stockholders (assuming execution of the Voting Agreements
caused such persons to be considered a "group" within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) has been dissolved.
On September 5, 1997, Hearst-Argyle filed a registration statement on Form
S-3 relating to shares of Series A Common Stock received in the Merger by
stockholders who are former partners of the Partnerships (as hereinafter
defined). Such stockholders received shares of Argyle common stock from the
Partnerships pursuant to previously adopted plans of liquidation prior to
consummation of the Merger and acquired their shares of Series A Common Stock in
exchange for their shares of Argyle common stock in the Merger.

------------------------------------
(a) The aggregate number and percentage of the shares of the Company's
capital stock beneficially owned by each of the Filing Persons, and for all of
the Filing Persons collectively, assuming the execution of the Voting Agreements
caused such persons to be considered as a "group" (within the meaning of Section
13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), is set forth on
Schedule II attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
(b) Schedule II attached hereto shows the number of shares of the Company's
capital stock as to which there is sole power to vote or to direct the vote,
shared power to vote or to direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct
the disposition and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition, for
each of the Filing Persons.
(c) On July 8 and July 11, 1997, ATI and ATP converted all of the shares of
Argyle Series C Common Stock held by them into shares of Argyle Series A Common
Stock. On July 11, 1997, ATI distributed an aggregate of 1,746,282 shares of
