                     REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS



   June 28, 1995

   To the Participants and Administrator of the Prentice Hall Computer
   Publishing Division Retirement Plan


   In our opinion, the financial statements in the accompanying index
   present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
   benefits of the Prentice Hall Computer Publishing Division Retirement
   Plan at December 31, 1994, and the changes in net assets available for
   benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
   accounting principles.  These financial statements are the
   responsibility of the plan's management; our responsibility is to
   express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit. We
   conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with generally
   accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
   audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial
   statements are free of material misstatement.  An audit includes
   examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and
   disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting
   principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
   evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe
   that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
   above.  The financial statements of the Prentice Hall Computer
   Publishing Division Retirement Plan for the year ended December 31, 1993
   were audited by other independent accountants whose report dated June
   17, 1994 expressed an unqualified opinion on those statements.

   Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
   basic financial statements taken as a whole.  The additional information
   included in the accompanying index is presented for purposes of
   additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial
   statements but is additional information required by the Employee
   Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.  The Fund Information in the
   statement of net assets available for benefits and the statement of
   changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes
   of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available
   for plan benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of
   each fund.  The supplemental schedules and the Fund Information have
   been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits of the
   basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
   material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as
   a whole.

                          REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

 We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for 
 benefits, with fund information of Prentice Hall Computer Publishing Division
 Retirement Plan ("The Plan") as of December 31, 1993, and the related statement
 of changes in net assets available for benefits, with fund information for 
 the year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
 Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 
 financial statements based on our audit.

 We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing 
 standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to 
 obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
 of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, 
 evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.
 An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and 
 significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
 financial statement presentation. We believe that our audit provides a 
 reasonable basis for our opinion.

 In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly,
 in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan
 at December 31, 1993, and the changes in its net assets available for 
 benefits for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted 
 accounting principles.

 Our audit was performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic 
 financial statements taken as a whole. The fund information in the statement
 of net assets available for benefits, with fund information and the statement
 of changes in net assets available for benefits, with fund information is 
 presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net 
 assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits 
 of each fund. The fund information has been subjected to the auditing 
 procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our 
 opinion, is fairly presented in all material respects in relation to the basic
 financial statements taken as a whole.

                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   Note A - Plan Description

             The following is a brief description of the Prentice Hall 
   Computer Publishing Division Retirement Plan (the "Plan") and is
   provided  for general information purposes only.  Participants should
   refer to the  Plan document for more complete information regarding the
   Plan.

             The Plan is a defined contribution plan offered on a voluntary 
   basis to substantially all employees of the Prentice Hall Computer 
   Publishing Division of Prentice Hall Inc.  Eligible employees may become 
   participants in the Plan following the attainment of age 21 and the 
   completion of twelve months of employment service, generally measured
   from date of hire.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
   Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"),
   and is administered by the Administrative Committee appointed by the
   Board of Directors of Prentice Hall Inc.

             Prentice Hall Inc.  was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paramount 
   Communications Inc. ("Paramount") which became a wholly-owned subsidiary
   of  Viacom Inc.  ("Viacom", collectively with Paramount the "Company" or 
   "Employer") in July 1994 (the "Merger").  In March 1994, pursuant to a 
   tender offer for Paramount, all shares of Paramount common stock were 
   tendered to Viacom.   The Plan received cash of $107 per share for 
   approximately half of the tendered shares and received certain
   securities of  Viacom for its remaining shares of Paramount common stock
   upon completion of  the Merger in July 1994.  Effective January 3, 1995,
   Paramount was merged  into Viacom International Inc., a wholly-owned
   subsidiary of Viacom Inc.,  and Paramount ceased to exist as a separate
   corporate legal entity.

             Included in the Viacom securities received by the Plan as part
   of the  Merger were certain contingent value rights ("CVRs")
   representing the right  to receive cash or Viacom securities, at
   Viacom's option, based on the  market value of Viacom Class B common
   stock during a one, two or three year  period, at Viacom's option,
   following the merger.  The Plan's fiduciary  believes the CVRs are not
   "Qualifying Employer Securities" under ERISA and  that it is prohibited
   under ERISA Sections 406 and 407 for the Plan to acquire and hold the
   CVRs.  During May 1995, the CVRs held by the Plan were sold and the 
   proceeds were invested in Viacom Class B Common Stock.   Viacom intends to 
   file a Prohibited Transaction Exemption Request with the Department of Labor
   requesting relief from the pertinent ERISA provisions.

   Investment Programs

             The investment programs of the Plan are as follows:

             Participant contributions - A Participant may contribute to
   the Plan from 1% to 16% of the Participant's base pay, including certain
   commissions, subject to adjustment to comply with the Internal Revenue
   Code.   A Participant's contributions can be made with pre-tax or post-
   tax dollars, subject to an overall maximum of 10% on pre-tax
   contributions.  A Participant may change or suspend the amount of the
   Participant's contribution at any time effective as of the first payday
   of any calendar quarter, however, any suspension of contributions must
   be for a minimum of ninety days.

             Employer contributions - The Employer will provide a matching
   contribution of 50% of the first 6% of each Participant's contribution. 
   In addition, the Employer shall contribute a retirement contribution in
   an amount equal to 3 1/2% of each eligible employee's compensation. 
   Participants vest in the Employer's matching and retirement
   contributions after the completion of one full year of service at a rate
   of 20% for each of the next four full years of service with an
   additional 20% after the completion of five years of service.   Amounts
   which have been forfeited in accordance with provisions of the Plan may
   be used to defray administrative expenses or reduce future Employer
   contributions.

             Participants may invest their contributions and the Employer's
   matching and retirement contributions in one or more of the following
   investment programs in increments of 10%.

                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)

       Viacom Inc. Stock Fund (formerly the Paramount Communications Inc. Stock 
         Fund)
         Contributions to this fund are invested in Viacom Class B Common
         Stock.  In addition, the fund holds all consideration received in
         exchange for shares of Paramount Common Stock as a result of the 
         Merger.  Prior to the Merger, the fund invested in Paramount Common 
         Stock.  Dividends received on Paramount Common Stock in the fund were 
         reinvested in Paramount Common Stock.  Chemical Banking Corporation is
         the trustee of this fund.  The fund is managed by the Administrative 
         Committee.

       Equity Fund 
         This fund invests in equity securities, securities convertible into 
         equity securities and/or a commingled equity trust and is designed to 
         approximate the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
         Bankers Trust Company is the trustee and investment manager of this 
         fund. 
  
       Income Investment Fund
         This fund invests in securities issued by insurance companies, 
         financial institutions and the U.S. Government and its agencies. This 
         fund is designed to preserve capital, but it is not risk free.  Bankers
         Trust Company is the trustee and investment manager of this fund.

       Balanced Fund  
         The fund, of which J. P. Morgan is the investment manager, invests in a
         balanced combination of a J. P. Morgan managed bond fund and an equity
         index fund.  This fund was instituted in 1994.

   Such direction may be revised by the Participant quarterly.

   The number of Participants in each fund at December 31, 1994 was as follows:

           Viacom Inc. Stock Fund.........................    150
           Equity Fund....................................    265
           Income Investment Fund.........................    391
           Balanced Fund..................................     60

         The total number of Participants in the Plan at December 31, 1994, is 
less than the sum of the number of Participants shown above because many of the 
Participants participated in more than one fund.


Note B- Summary of Significant Accounting Policies 

     The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

     Investments are stated at aggregate current value.  Investments in 
securities which are traded on national securities exchanges are valued at the 
last reported sales price on the last business day of the year; investments
traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities for which no sale
was reported on that date are valued at the mean between the last reported bid
and ask prices.  The Investment Pricing Department of the Trustee establishes 
current values for other investments which do not have an established market.

     All costs and expenses incurred with regard to the purchase, sale or 
transfer of investments are borne by the Plan.  Expenses for administering the 
Plan may be paid by using Participants' forfeitures.

    Security transactions are recorded on the trade date.  

    Unrealized appreciation (depreciation) of investments represents the change 
in the difference between current value and the cost of investments.

                       NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(continued)


    Net realized gain (loss) on disposition of investments represents the
difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments
sold.


Note C - Income Tax Status

    The Plan received a favorable determination letter from the Internal Revenue
Service, dated July 23, 1993, with respect to the qualified status of the Plan 
under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and the tax-exempt 
status of the underlying trust under Section 501 of the Code.  Request for an 
updated determination letter was filed in March 1995.  The Plan is exempt from 
federal income tax and a Participant will not be subject to federal income tax 
with respect to contributions made by the Employer to the Participant's account
and any earnings thereon or earnings on all Participant contributions while such
amounts are held in trust.  The Administrative Committee is not aware of any 
course of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely 
affect the Plan's qualified status.  The Administrative Committee does not 
expect the acquisitions and holding of the CVRs as described in Note A to impact
the qualification of the Plan or Trust.


Note D - Investment in Securities

The net realized gain on disposition of investments was computed as follows:
