Page 1 of 6 pages SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION Washington, D.C. 20549 Amendment No. 1 to SCHEDULE 13D Statement of SILVER KING COMMUNICATIONS, INC. Pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 in respect of HOME SHOPPING NETWORK, INC. The Report on Schedule 13D (the "Schedule 13D") re- lates to the common stock, par value $.01 per share, of Home Shopping Network, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company"). This Report is filed by Silver King Communications, Inc. (some- times referred to herein as the "Reporting Person"). The Re- port on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Person on December 8, 1995 (the "Reporting Person Schedule 13D") is hereby amended and supplemented to include the information con- tained herein, and this Report constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Reporting Person Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms not de- fined herein have the meanings provided in the prior Report referred to in this paragraph. ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND. The information contained in Item 2 of the Reporting Person Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the information set forth in Schedule 1 to this Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference. ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION. The information contained in Item 4 of the Reporting Person Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by add- ing the information set forth in Item 6 below, which is incor- porated herein by reference. Page 2 of 6 pages ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATION- SHIPS WITH RESPECT TO THE SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER The information set forth in Item 6 of the Reporting Person Schedule 13D above is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following information: As previously reported, each of the Liberty HSN Merg- er Agreement and the Exchange Agreement currently provides that such agreement may be terminated by either party in the event that the transactions contemplated thereby have not been con- summated by August 30, 1996. Based on information contained in Amendment No. 4 to the Report on Schedule 13D with respect to Silver King, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by TCI, Barry Diller and BDTV INC. (formerly Silver Management Company), on August 16, 1996 ("Amendment No. 4"), because of the delays in receiving the approval of the Federal Communica- tions Commission (the "FCC") in connection with the transfer of control of Silver King from Roy M. Speer to Mr. Diller (the "FCC June Order") and certain limitations contained in the FCC June Order relating to Liberty's acquisition of beneficial own- ership of additional shares of Silver King common stock (including those shares in which it would acquire an ownership interest as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Liberty HSN Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement), Mr. Diller and Liberty believe it is unlikely that such transac- tions will be consummated by August 30, 1996, and as a result, Mr. Diller and Liberty have recently begun discussing a restructuring of the proposed transactions or a possible alter- native transaction relating to the Company, in any case such that Silver King could acquire control of the Company consis- tent with the FCC June Order. As reported in Amendment No. 4, there can be no assurance that such discussions will result in any agreement providing for such a restructured or alternative transaction or, if any such agreement is reached, that any required regulatory or other approvals for such transaction (including from the FCC) will be obtained or that any such transaction will be consummated.
