ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT.

(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 Management.

         (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 preceding December 31, 1999, 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 accounts

         (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. The
                  Registrant, nor any person on the Registrants behalf during
                  the two most recent fiscal years and the subsequent interim
                  periods prior to the engagement of M&K, did not consult with
                  M&K with regard to any of the matters listed in Regular 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
         November 1, 2000, is filed as Exhibit 16 to this Form 8-K.


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).
