REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
June 28, 1996
To the Participants and Administrator
of the Paramount Communications Inc. Employees' Savings 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
Paramount Communications Inc. Employees' Savings Plan (the "Plan") at December
31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in net assets available for benefits for the
years 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.
Our audits were 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 ERISA. 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.

PARAMOUNT COMMUNICATIONS INC.
EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE A - PLAN DESCRIPTION
The following is a brief description of the Paramount Communications Inc.
Employees' Savings Plan (the "Plan") and is provided for general information
only. Participants should refer to the Plan documents 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 former Paramount Communications Inc.
("Paramount"), excluding employees who are party to collective bargaining
agreements. Eligible employees may become participants in the Plan following the
earlier of the attainment of age 25 or the completion of one year of employment
service, generally measured from the date of hire. Employees of Paramount Parks
may become participants of the Plan following the attainment of age 21 and
one-year of employment service. The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA") and is administered by the
Retirement Committee appointed by the Board of Directors of the Company (as
defined below).
Paramount 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 held by the Plan were tendered to Viacom. The Plan
received cash of $107 per share for approximately one-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. Sponsorship of the Plan, was assumed by PCI's
Holdings Corporation, itself a wholly-owned subsidiary of Viacom International
Inc. Effective January 1, 1996, the Plan was merged into the Viacom Investment
Plan, and PCI Holdings Corporation ceased to exist as a legal entity. For this
reason, the Form 5500 of the Plan for the year ended December 31, 1995, will
list Viacom Inc., the sponsor of the Viacom Investment Plan, as the Plan
Sponsor.
Included in the Viacom securities received by the Plan as part of the
Merger consideration 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. During May 1995, the CVRs held
by the Plan were sold and the proceeds were invested in Viacom Class B
Common Stock.
Effective July 1994, the Plan merged with the Paramount Communications Inc.
Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and the assets and liabilities under
the ESOP were transferred to the Viacom Inc. Stock Fund of the Plan. All
participants of the ESOP became fully vested in the Plan as of July 7, 1994 and
the ESOP`s terms are substantially equivalent to the Plan.
Madison Square Garden and a division of Simon and Schuster were sold during
1995 and the related assets were transferred to new plans.
INVESTMENT PROGRAMS
The investment programs of the Plan during the periods presented are as
follows (See Note G):
Participant contributions -- A Participant may contribute to the Plan from
1% to 12% of the Participant's base pay including certain commissions, subject
to adjustment to comply with the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). A
Participant's contributions can be made with before-tax or after-tax dollars.
A Participant may change or suspend the amount of the Participant's contribution
at any time effective as of the first day of any month; however, any suspension
must be for a minimum of three months. Upon enrollment or re-enrollment, each
Participant shall direct that the Participant's contributions be invested in
one or more of the following investment options in increments of 10%:
Viacom Inc. Stock Fund
Contributions to this fund are invested in Viacom Inc. 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

EMPLOYEES' SAVINGS PLAN
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)
reinvested in Paramount common stock. Investments in the Viacom Inc. Stock Fund
qualify as party-in-interest. Chemical Banking Corporation is the trustee of
this fund. The fund is managed by the Retirement Committee.
Equity Fund
This fund is primarily invested in a portfolio of common stocks constructed
and maintained with the objective of providing investment results which
approximate the performance of the Standard and Poor's 500 Stock Index (the "S&P
500"). The fund may purchase or sell individual securities or futures contracts
on the S&P 500 or on a similarly broad index. Equity and market index call
options may be written (sold) on the securities in the underlying portfolio but
none of the optioned shares will be allowed to be called away. Bankers Trust
Company is the investment manager of this fund. Chemical Banking Corporation
is the trustee of this fund.
Income Investment Fund
This fund is invested in fixed income securities issued by insurance
companies, financial institutions and the U.S. Government and its agencies.
State Street Bank and Trust Company is the investment manager of this fund.
Chemical Banking Corporation is the trustee of this fund.
Balanced Fund
This 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. Chemical Banking Corporation is the trustee of this fund.
Such direction may be revised by the Participant quarterly.
Employer contribution -- The Employer shall provide a matching
contribution of 50% of the first 6% of each Participant's contribution. Employer
contributions are invested in the Viacom Inc. Stock Fund. Participants who
commenced employment prior to January 1, 1992 (April 1, 1991 for employees of
the publishing operations) vest in the Employer contribution at a rate of 20%
for each full year of service. Participants who commenced employment after
December 31, 1991 (March 31, 1991 for employees of the publishing operations)
vest in the Employer contribution after the completion of two full years of
service at a rate of 33 1/3% for each of the next three full 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. Employer matching contributions of $1,041,545 and $1,166,409
during the years ended December 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, respectively,
were forfeited by terminating employees before those amounts became vested.
Loan Provision -- The Plan permits a Participant to borrow funds from the
Plan using a portion of the Participant's vested account balance as collateral.
All loans require approval by the Retirement Committee. Periodic payroll
deductions are required to repay the loans on a level amortization basis. Loans
involving the purchase of a primary residence may be for any length of time up
to 25 years. Loans for any other reason must be repaid within five years. The
interest rate on the loans will be determined by the Retirement Committee. In
the event of the Participant's termination of employment with the Employer, the
Participant may either repay the loan in full or have the loan balance deducted
from the Participant account.
The number of Participants in each fund as December 31, 1995 was as follows:
Employer Fund
Viacom Inc. Stock Fund........................... 9,924
Employee Funds
Viacom Inc. Stock Fund........................... 2,013

The total number of Participants in the Plan was 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 an 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.
Net realized gain (loss) on disposition of investments represents the
difference between the proceeds received and the average cost of investments
sold. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends are recorded
on the ex-dividend rate.
From time to time certain funds of the Plan enter into certain Standard &
Poor's 500 index futures contracts. Gains and losses related to these contracts
are calculated based upon the daily closing price of the futures contracts
index.
NOTE C - INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan is exempt from federal income tax and the 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 Plan, as
amended through February 1, 1995, received a favorable determination letter from
the Internal Revenue Service, dated August 11, 1995, with respect to the
qualified status of the Plan under Section 401(a) of the Code and the tax-exempt
status of the underlying trust under Section 501(a) of the Code. The Retirement
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 guaranteed investment contracts are fully benefit-responsive and are
therefore presented in the financial statements at contract value. The Company
does not expect any employer initiated events that may cause premature
liquidation to a contract at market value. At December 31, 1995, the fair value
of such assets in the aggregate was $100,881,271 with an average yield of 6.29%.
The return on assets for the year ended December 31, 1995 was 6.18%. The
guaranteed investments contracts were transferred to the Viacom Investment Plan
as part of the merger. (See Note G)

Amounts allocated to withdrawing participants are recorded on the Form 5500

NOTE F - TERMINATION PRIORITIES
In the event that the Plan is terminated, subject to conditions set forth in
ERISA, the Plan provides that the net assets of the Plan be distributed to
participants in proportion to their respective interests in such net assets.
NOTE G - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Effective January 1, 1996, the Plan merged with and into the Viacom Investment
Plan ("VIP"), a defined contribution plan sponsored by Viacom. The following
paragraphs describe the significant effects of the merger with VIP.
Putnam Fiduciary Trust Company is the trustee and custodian of VIP assets. VIP
participants have the option of investing their contributions or existing
account balances among the following funds within the VIP: (1) Putnam Voyager
Fund; (2) Putnam Investors Fund; (3) George Putnam Fund of Boston; (4) Capital
Research EuroPacific Growth Fund; (5) Putnam Fund for Growth and Income; (6)
Putnam Income Fund; (7) Certus Interest Income Fund; and (8) the Viacom Common
Stock Fund. Each of the funds, except for the Certus Interest Income Fund, the
Capital Research EuroPacific Growth Fund and the Viacom Common Stock Fund, are
registered investment companies managed by Putnam Management Company, Inc. and
therefore identified as a party-in-interest. The Certus Interest Income Fund,
which is managed by Certus Financial Corporation, primarily invests in
guaranteed investment contracts and bank investment contracts, some of which are
created by way of the concurrent purchase of a bank guarantee contract and a
United States government security. The Capital Research EuroPacific Growth Fund
is a registered investment company managed by Capital Research and Management
Company. Investment elections are required to be in multiples of 5% and can be
changed at any time. The VIP is intended to meet the requirements of ERISA
Section 404 (c). Thus to the extent Participants exercise control over the
investment of contributions, neither the VIP nor any VIP fiduciary will be
responsible for any losses which may occur.
The VIP provides for Company matching contribution amounts equal to 50% of the
first 6% of annual compensation that is contributed on a before-tax basis if
base pay is $65,000 or less as of a specified date (5% of annual compensation if
base pay is greater than $65,000). Participants may contribute up to 15% of
annual compensation on a before-tax, after-tax or combination basis, subject to
compliance with the Code limitations. The VIP's vesting schedule will be 20% per
year of service, becoming fully vested after five years.
Participants are eligible to receive loans based on their account balances. The
maximum loan available to a participant is the lesser of 50% of participants'
vested account balance or $50,000, reduced by the highest outstanding balance of
any VIP loan made to the Participant during the twelve month period ending on
the day before the loan is made.
