ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.


     On October 13, 1995, Select Media Communications, Inc. (the "Registrant")
filed a voluntary petition for reorganization pursuant to Chapter 11 of Title 11
of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Ernst & Young LLP did not provide any
services, including services as auditor, to the Registrant after October 13,
1995. The Registrant did not formally notify Ernst & Young LLP that the
client-auditor relationship had ceased until October 30, 2000. Before the
Registrant's formal notice to Ernst & Young LLP, on February 1, 2000, the
Registrant engaged Marcum & Kleigman, LLP as its new independent auditors to
audit the Registrant's financial statements.




1(a)(1)          Change of independent accountants



         (i)      On October 30, 2000, the Board of Directors of Select Media
                  Communications, Inc. adopted a resolution to formally notify
                  the independent accounting firm of Ernst & Young LLP that the
                  client-auditor relationship between Select Media
                  Communications, Inc. and Ernst & Young LLP had ceased.

         (ii)     The last report issued by Ernst & Young LLP on the
                  consolidated financial statements of the Registrant related to
                  the Registrant's fiscal year ended December 31, 1994. Such
                  report was issued on March 22, 1995 and Ernst & Young LLP's
                  opinion was modified as to the uncertainty of the Registrant
                  to continue as a going concern. Ernst & Young has not issued
                  any reports on the Registrant's consolidated financial
                  statements since the March 22, 1995 report.

         (iii)    The decision to change accountants was recommended by the
                  Registrant's Board of Directors.



         (iv)     (A) In connection with the audit of the Registrants'
                      consolidated financial statements for the year ended
                      December 31, 1994 and during any subsequent interim
                      periods up to October 30,

                           2000, there have been no disagreements with Ernst &
                           Young LLP on any matters of accounting principles or
                           practices, financial statement disclosure, or
                           auditing scope or procedures, which if not resolved
                           to the satisfaction of Ernst & Young LLP would have
                           caused Ernst & Young LLP to make reference to the
                           subject matter of the disagreements in connection
                           with their report.


                  (B)      Not applicable.

(a)(2)   Engagement of new independent accountants


         (i)      On February 1, 2000, the Registrant's Board of Directors
                  formally engaged Marcum & Kliegman LLP, 130 Crossways Park
                  Drive, Woodbury, New York as its new independent auditors
                  ("M&K") to audit the Registrant's financial statements.
                  Neither the Registrant, nor any person on the Registrant's
                  behalf during the two most recent fiscal years and the
                  subsequent interim periods prior to the engagement of M&K,
                  consulted with M&K with regard to any of the matters listed
                  in Regulation S-B Items 304(a)(2)(i) or (ii).



(a)(3)   The Registrant has requested that Ernst & Young LLP furnish it with a
         letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission stating
         whether it agrees with the above statements. A copy of the Ernst &
         Young LLP letter to the Securities and Exchange Commission, dated
         December 21, 2000, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.


(b)      None of the conditions listed in Regulation S-B Item 304(b) exist in
         this matter.

ITEM 7.  FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENT AND EXHIBITS

Exhibit 16.        Letter from Ernst & Young LLP regarding agreement with
                  statements by Registrant in response to Item 304(a) of
                  Regulation S-B.
