                         Independent Auditors' Report

To the Participants and Administrator of the
Westinghouse Savings Program:


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Westinghouse Savings Program (the Plan) as of December 31, 1999 and 1998,
and the related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for
the year ended December 31, 1999. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Plan Administrator. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits 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 audits provide 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 as of
December 31, 1999 and 1998, and the changes in net assets available for benefits
for the year ended December 31, 1999, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing procedures
applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial
statements taken as a whole.

(1)  Description of Operations and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

     CBS Corporation (the Corporation or CBS, formerly Westinghouse Electric
     Corporation), one of the largest radio and television broadcasters in the
     United States, is the Plan Sponsor of the Westinghouse Savings Plan. During
     recent years, the Corporation has redefined its business portfolio and
     future direction in its transformation to a pure media company. As the
     Corporation redefined its business portfolio, a significant number of
     businesses were identified as non-strategic and consequently divested.

     (a)  Basis of Accounting

          The financial statements of the Plan are prepared under the accrual
          basis of accounting.

     (b)  Investments

          The Plan's shares of common stock and registered investment companies
          are presented at fair market value, which is based on published market
          quotations. Guaranteed investment contracts with insurance companies
          and synthetic guaranteed investment contracts held in the Westinghouse
          Savings Program Master Trust (Master Trust), in which the Plan's Fixed
          Income Fund has a beneficial interest, are presented at contract
          value. Loans to participants are valued at cost, which approximates
          fair value.

     (c)  Measurement Date

          Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade-date basis.

     (d)  Dividends

          Dividends on the Plan's shares of common stock and registered
          investment companies are credited to each participant's account, as
          appropriate, for shares held as of the date of record.

     (e)  Payment of Benefits

          Benefits are recorded when paid.

                                   4                                 (Continued)

     (f)  Use of Estimates

          The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
          accepted accounting principles requires the Plan Administrator to make
          estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets
          and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as
          of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of
          Plan activity during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
          from those estimates.

     (g)  Reclassification

          Pursuant to the adoption of SOP 99-3, certain information for 1998 has
          been reclassified to conform to the 1999 presentation.


(2)  Description of the Plan

     The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
     Participants should refer to the Plan document or the Summary Plan
     Description for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.

     (a)  General

          The Plan is a defined contribution plan. It is subject to the
          provisions of ERISA. All represented and nonrepresented employees of
          the Corporation, other than employees eligible to participate in other
          plans sponsored by the Corporation, or its designated subsidiaries or
          designated joint ventures, are eligible to participate in the Plan.
          Leased employees and employees of excluded units are not eligible to
          participate in the Plan.

     (b)  Contributions and Withdrawals

          Plan participants may elect to contribute 2% to 20% of their base
          earnings on either a pre-tax or after-tax basis or a combination
          thereof, subject to IRS limitations. The Corporation matches
          contributions in an amount equal to 50% of the first 6% of the
          participant's base earnings contributed. Beginning January 1, 1997,
          the employer matching contributions for non-union employees are made
          to the CBS Common Stock Fund and may, at the discretion of the Plan
          Administrator, be either in the form of the Corporation's common stock
          or in cash.

                                       5                             (Continued)

                         Notes to Financial Statements

                                (In thousands)


          Participants may elect for their contributions to be invested in 1%
          increments in any of eleven investment options. The eleven investment
          options include the Fixed Income Fund, the CBS Common Stock Fund and
          the following registered investment companies: the Fidelity Growth and
          Income Fund, the BT Investment Equity 500 Index Fund (BT Index Fund),
          the American Century Ultra Fund (Ultra Fund), the Janus Fund, the BT
          Investment Lifecycle Long Range Fund (BT Lifecycle Long Range Fund),
          the J.P. Morgan Institutional Diversified Fund (JPM Diversified Fund),
          the J.P. Morgan Institutional International Equity Fund (JPM
          International Fund), the BT Investment Lifecycle Mid Range Fund (BT
          Lifecycle Mid Range Fund), and the BT Investment Lifecycle Short Range
          Fund (BT Lifecycle Short Range Fund).

          All participants are permitted to make withdrawals from the Plan
          subject to provisions in the Plan document. Inactive or terminated
          participants have several payment options, detailed in the Plan
          document.

     (c)  Loans

          Loans are made available to all participants on a nondiscriminatory
          basis subject to the provisions in the Plan document. The amount of a
          loan generally cannot exceed the lesser of $50 or one-half of a
          participant's total vested account balance. Loans bear interest at a
          fixed rate. The rate is determined as the prime rate in effect on the
          last business day of the quarter prior to the loan origination date
          plus 1%. All loans are subject to specific repayment terms and are
          secured by the participant's nonforfeitable interest in his/her
          account equivalent to the principal amount of the loan.

     (d)  Rollovers and Trust-to-Trust Transfers

          Corporation employees and retirees may elect to transfer savings from
          other plans that are qualified by the IRS into the Plan. Rollovers and
          trust-to-trust transfers represent funds transferred from the
          Westinghouse Pension Plan or other qualified plans to the Plan.

     (e)  Vesting and Forfeitures

          Participant contributions to the Plan plus actual earnings thereon are
          fully vested and nonforfeitable. If an employee had eligible service
          before January 1, 1989, the employer matching contributions plus
          actual earnings thereon are also vested. Employees hired on or after
          January 1, 1989 must complete five years of eligibility service to
          become vested in the employer matching contributions plus actual
          earnings thereon. If a participant terminates employment prior to
          completing five years of eligibility service, the current value of
          their employer matching contributions will be forfeited. Forfeited
          contributions are used to reduce future employer matching
          contributions. In 1999, employer contributions were reduced by $273
          ($866 in 1998) from forfeited nonvested accounts.

     (f)  Plan Expenses

          The Corporation is responsible for the general administration of the
          Plan and for carrying out the provisions thereof. The investment
          assets of the Plan are administered by a trustee appointed by the
          Financial and Administrative Managers of the Plan. With the exception
          of investment manager fees, which are paid by the Plan, expenses of
          the Plan are borne by the Corporation.

     (g)  Plan Termination

          Although the Corporation does not intend to terminate the Plan, the
          Corporation has the right to terminate the Plan at any time subject to
          provisions of collective bargaining agreements. If such termination
          occurs, all amounts credited to participants' accounts shall become
          vested and be distributed as soon as practicable.

(5)  Master Trust

     As of December 31, 1999, the Master Trust includes the Fixed Income Fund of
     the Plan, as well as the Fixed Income Fund of another plan sponsored by the
     Corporation. The Master Trust is administered by Deutsche Bank (formerly
     Bankers Trust) and governed by the Westinghouse Savings Program Master
     Trust Agreement. Although assets in the Master Trust are commingled, the
     trustee maintains records of contributions received from and distributions
     made to the Master Trust for each participating plan. As of December 31,
     1999 and 1998, the Plan's beneficial interest in the net assets of the
     Master Trust was approximately 99.99%. Net assets and net investment income
     are allocated by the trustee to each plan based on the beneficial interest
     of each plan to the total beneficial interests of the participating plans
     on a daily basis.

</TABLE>

Market values of investments in the Master Trust are based on quoted market
prices or on discounted cash flow analysis utilizing estimated current market
interest rates.

The contract value of the Master Trust excludes accrued investment consulting
fees for the Fixed Income Fund payable to the Bankers Trust Company.

Synthetic guaranteed investment contracts utilize benefit-responsive wrapper
contracts issued by various third-party issuers. The wrapper contracts provide
market and cash flow risk protection to the Plan and provide for the execution
of participant initiated transactions in the Plan at contract value. The
synthetic guaranteed investment contracts may invest in derivatives and include
collateralized mortgage obligations (CMOs), real estate investment conduits
(REMICs), other mortgage derivatives, call/put options on Treasury securities
and U.S. Treasury bond futures contracts. The notional and fair values of these
derivatives, as estimated by the trustee and various investment managers, are
$229,883 and $218,609 as of December 31, 1999, and $457,775 and $394,233 as of
December 31, 1998, respectively.

The aggregate investment gain from the Master Trust for the year ended December
31, 1999, of $98,295 is solely comprised of interest income. Certain expenses of
the Master Trust are deducted from the aggregate investment gain.

The average blended yield of all the investment contracts as of December 31,
1999 and 1998, was 6.08% and 6.41%, respectively, while the annual one year
return for the years ended December 31, 1999 and 1998, was 6.08% and 6.54%,
respectively.

(6)  Federal Income Taxes

     A favorable determination letter was received from the Internal Revenue
     Service on September 25, 1997, stating that the Plan and related trust are
     qualified under Section 401(a) of the Code, and the related trust is exempt
     from tax under Section 501(a) of the Code. In the opinion of the Plan
     Administrator, the Plan has operated in accordance with the terms of the
     Plan and in conformity with the applicable requirements of the Code.
     Accordingly, the accompanying financial statements do not include a
     provision for federal income taxes.


(7)  Transfer of Assets

     During 1999, the Corporation continued to divest a significant number of
     businesses identified as non-strategic. This divestiture activity resulted
     in transfers out of the Plan of $912,142 for the year ended December 31,
     1999.

     During June 1999, the Plan transferred assets to a plan sponsored by
     Emerson Electric and other plans in connection with the divestiture of the
     Process Control Division (PCD) which occurred in November 1998. As of
     December 31, 1998, the accrued balance of $101,885 was recorded as a
     liability on the statement of net assets available for benefits.


(8)  Subsequent Events

     As of December 31, 1999, the Plan had approximately two hundred active
     contributing participants remaining. On January 5, 2000, the Corporation
     transferred these contributing participants' assets in the amount of $8,252
     to another plan sponsored by the Corporation.

     On May 4, 2000, CBS was merged with and into Viacom Inc. Each share of CBS
     common stock held by the Plan was converted into 1.085 shares of Viacom
     Class B common stock. Plan provisions and investment options have remained
     the same and employer contributions are now being invested in Viacom Class
     B common stock.
