Item 4. Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant
        ----------------------------------------------

     (a)  Previous Independent Accountants
          ---------------------------------
          (i)  After completion of the merger between Viacom Inc. and CBS
               Corporation on May 4, 2000 (pursuant to which CBS merged into
               Viacom, with Viacom the surviving company) (the "Merger"),
               Viacom, on May 24, 2000, reappointed PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
               ("PWC") to serve as independent accountants for Viacom until the
               Viacom Annual Meeting of Shareholders in 2001, subject to
               approval of the Viacom shareholders at the Viacom Annual Meeting
               in June 2000. Infinity Broadcasting Corporation ("Infinity" or
               the "Company"), a majority-owned subsidiary of CBS prior to the
               Merger and now a majority-owned subsidiary of Viacom, also
               selected PWC as its independent accountants, replacing KPMG LLP
               ("KPMG").

          (ii) KPMG's reports on the Company's financial statements for the
               past two fiscal years did not contain an adverse opinion or a
               disclaimer of opinion and were not qualified or modified as to
               uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

          (iii)During the two most recent fiscal years and any
               subsequent interim period preceding May 24, 2000, (i) there were
               no disagreements with KPMG on any matter of accounting principles
               or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
               or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the
               satisfaction of KPMG, would have caused KPMG to make a reference
               to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its
               reports in the financial statements for such years, and (ii)
               there were no reportable events as described in Item 304 of
               Regulation    S-K.

          (iv) The Company provided KPMG with a copy of this report no
               later than the date this report was filed with the Securities and
               Exchange Commission and requested that KPMG furnish it with the
               letter described in item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K.  A copy of
               the letter from KPMG to the Securities and Exchange Commission
               described in Item 304(a)(3) of Regulation S-K is filed as Exhibit
               16 hereto.

     (b)  New Independent Accountants
          ---------------------------
          (i)  As discussed above, Infinity selected PWC as
               Infinity's independent accountants to audit
               Infinity's financial statements. The action was
               recommended by Infinity's Audit Committee and was
               approved by its Board of Directors.
