                             AMENDED AND RESTATED

                                 SCHEDULE 13D

                                  STATEMENT

                                      OF

                          TELE-COMMUNICATIONS, INC.

                       PURSUANT TO SECTION 13(D) OF THE
                      SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
                                      
                                IN RESPECT OF

                          HERITAGE MEDIA CORPORATION
                        (COMMISSION FILE NO. 1-10015)

        _____________________________________________________________

ITEM 1.  SECURITY AND INTEREST

         The class of equity securities to which this Statement relates is the
Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Class A Common Stock") of
which Heritage Media Corporation, an Iowa corporation (the "Company" or "HMC"),
with principal executive offices at 13355 Noel Road, Suite 1500, Dallas, TX
75240, is the Issuer.

ITEM 2.  IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND

         This Statement is being filed by Tele-Communications, Inc., a Delaware
corporation ("TCI"), whose address is Terrace Tower II, 5619 DTC Parkway,
Englewood, CO 80111, and whose principal business is the ownership, management
and operation of certain cable television programming interests and cable
television assets.  The name, residence or business address, principal
occupation or employment and the name, principal business, and address of any
corporation or other organization in which such employment is conducted with
respect to each director and executive officer of TCI is set forth in Schedule
1 attached hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference.  To the knowledge
of TCI, each of the persons named on Schedule 1 (the "Schedule 1 Persons") is a
United States citizen.

         During the last five years, neither TCI nor, to the best of the
knowledge of TCI, any of the Schedule 1 Persons, has been (i) convicted of a
criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors); or
(ii) a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding 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.

         TCI originally made this filing because (despite the present regulatory
proscriptions against conversion, referred to in Item 4, below) it might then be
deemed to be the beneficial owner, pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) of the
General Rules and Regulations (the "Rules") promulgated under the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of more than five percent (5%) of the
outstanding shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock.  TCI then was the
beneficial owner of 1,335,721 shares of the Company's Class C Common Stock,
which is privately held and is non-voting, but is presently convertible into
Class A Common Stock of the Company, share for share.  The record title to all
1,335,721 Class C shares is held by Heritage Investments, Inc., an 80.1%
indirectly owned subsidiary of TCI.  If said Class C common shares were to be
converted into 1,355,721 shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock they
would represent 10.49% of the 11,381,841 shares (which were issued and
outstanding as of July 8, 1993, as disclosed by the Company to TCI), plus
1,335,721 such shares resulting from the conversion, or a total of 12,737,562
Class A Common shares.

ITEM 3.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION

         The source of funds paid for the 1,335,721 shares (acquired in one
privately negotiated purchase on 4/24/92) of the Company's Class C Common Stock
was working capital and the amount thereof was $14,958,513.68.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         At the time of its original filing, the Reporting Person had no 
present intention of converting its non-voting Class C Common shares of the 
Company into voting Class A Common shares because of existing regulatory 
prohibitions by the Federal Communications Commission relating to TCI's 
principal business of owning and controlling cable television interests and 
assets and that of the Company's principal business of owning and controlling 
broadcasting interests and assets.

         The intention of the Reporting Person with respect to converting its
non-voting Class C Common Shares of HMC into voting Class A Common Shares has
changed because HMC has filed an underwritten Registration Statement on Form
S-3 (Registration No. 33-52581) with 


<PAGE>   4
respect to certain Class A Common Shares owned by the Company, and TCI has 
elected to avail itself of its "piggy-back" rights to have its shares included
in such registration.

         Accordingly, 1,213,730 of the mentioned 1,335,721 shares of HMC's
Class C Common Stock have been included in the Registration Statement described
in Item 7 hereof, and the balance of said shares (121,991) have been reserved
for and allotted to the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers of the contemplated
public offering, solely to cover over-allotments, if any, as more fully
described in said Registration Statement.

ITEM 5.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         As initially reported:

         (a)     As described in Item 2 hereof, the Reporting Person was the
beneficial owner of 1,355,721 Class C shares, which are presently convertible
into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.  Said Class
C shares, if converted, would represent 10.49% of the then issued and
outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer.

         None of the Schedule 1 Persons had any interest in any securities of
the Issuer, except that Robert A. Naify acquired 2,500 shares of the Issuer's
Class A Common Stock on 8/24/89.

         (b)     The Reporting Person had sole voting and sole dispositive
power over said 1,355,721 Class C shares.

         (c)     Except as otherwise then reported herein, neither TCI nor, to
the knowledge of TCI, any of the persons described on Schedule 1, had executed
transactions in Common Stock of the Company during the past sixty (60) days.

         (d)     To the knowledge of TCI, no other person had the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, the shares of Class C Common Stock described in Item 5(a) and
(b) as beneficially owned by TCI.

         (e)     Not applicable.

         As presently amended:

         The disposition of TCI's shares in HMC's Common Stock pursuant to the
public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement (regardless of
whether the U.S. Underwriters and the Managers named therein opt to elect to
exercise their option to cover over-allotments herein above referred to) will 
result in the Reporting Person's ceasing to be the beneficial owner of more 
than five percent of any class of the securities of HMC.

ITEM 6.  CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDING OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT
         TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

         None.

ITEM 7.  MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS

         Registration Statement on Form S-3 filed by HMC on March 9, 1994 and 
ordered effective March 15, 1994, under Commission File No. 33-52581, is 
hereby incorporated by this reference.


                                   SIGNATURE

         After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
certify that the information set forth in this Statement is true, complete and
correct.
