ITEM 5.            INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                   ITEM 5 IS HEREBY AMENDED BY ADDING THE
                   FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH:

                   Upon the first closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement on
                   July 17, 1997, Mr. Allen was issued 7,238,507 shares of
                   Common Stock which, together with 172,500 shares of Common
                   Stock previously purchased by Mr. Allen through open market
                   transactions, represents approximately 17.03% of HSN's total
                   outstanding Common Stock, 13.79% of HSN's total outstanding
                   equity interests and, because shares of Class B Stock are
                   entitled to ten (10) votes per share while the Common Stock
                   of HSN is entitled to one (1) vote per share, 5.08% of HSN's
                   total outstanding voting power (based on information supplied
                   by HSN to Mr. Allen that, as of May 1, 1997, there were
                   outstanding 36,094,593 shares of Common Stock and 10,225,056
                   shares of Class B Stock).


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


                   ITEM 6 IS HEREBY AMENDED BY ADDING THE
                   FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS:

                   On May 20, 1997, Mr. Allen and HSN entered into the Stock
                   Exchange Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things,
                   Mr. Allen agreed to acquire from HSN 7,238,507 shares of
                   Common Stock (and up to an additional 3,257,328 shares of
                   Common Stock to be issued in August 1998 if the average
                   market price of the Common Stock over certain periods prior
                   to such time is below $29 per share) in exchange for
                   12,283,014 shares of common stock, no par value, of
                   Ticketmaster Group, Inc. The full text of the Stock Exchange
                   Agreement was included as Exhibit 1 to this Schedule 13D
                   originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission
                   on May 29, 1997 (the "Original Filing") and is incorporated
                   herein by reference.

                   Upon the first closing of the Stock Exchange Agreement on
                   July 17, 1997, Mr. Allen was issued 7,238,507 shares of
                   Common Stock.

                                                       -------------------------





                   In connection with the Stock Exchange Agreement, Barry
                   Diller, Mr. Allen and Liberty entered into a Stockholders
                   Agreement, dated May 20, 1997 (the "Stockholders Agreement"),
                   pursuant to which, among other things, each of Mr. Diller and
                   Liberty agreed to vote all shares of voting stock of HSN over
                   which he or it may then exercise voting power, at any annual
                   or special meeting of stockholders of HSN called for the
                   purpose of the election of directors or to execute written
                   consents of stockholders without a meeting with respect to
                   the election of directors, in favor of Mr. Allen or a
                   designee of Mr. Allen acceptable to HSN, so long as Mr. Allen
                   is entitled to representation on HSN's Board of Directors
                   under the Stock Exchange Agreement.


                   The Stockholders Agreement will terminate (as will Mr.
                   Allen's right under the Stock Exchange Agreement to
                   representation on HSN's Board of Directors) upon the earlier
                   of (i) the disposition by Mr. Allen and his permitted
                   transferees of one-third or more of the shares of Common
                   Stock acquired by Mr. Allen under the Stock Exchange
                   Agreement, or (ii) if Mr. Allen and his permitted transferees
                   own less than 5% of HSN's outstanding equity securities
                   (assuming for this purpose that all HSN equity securities
                   issuable under the Liberty Agreements, as defined in the
                   Stock Exchange Agreement, are outstanding). The full text of
                   the Stockholders Agreement was included as Exhibit 2 to the
                   Original Filing and is incorporated herein by reference.
