     CABLE SERVICES ACTION                               September 11, 1996


                   ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AVAILABLE FOR
                  PUBLIC INSPECTION ON VIACOM CABLE, INC.

     Viacom Cable, Inc. ("Viacom") has forwarded to the Federal Communications
Commission ("Commission") a Proposed Resolution to settle complaints filed against Viacom
regarding the rates charged for cable programming service offerings.  On July 31, 1996, TCI
Communications, Inc. acquired the cable systems of Viacom but for these purposes we will refer
to the cable operator as Viacom.  At issue are 150 complaints filed against Viacom covering the
period September 1, 1993, through May 14, 1994, and 54 complaints filed against Viacom for
the period May 15, 1994, through December 31, 1995.  Combined, these complaints involve
approximately 986,000 CPST subscribers.

     In the context of discussions with the Commission regarding the resolution of the issues
raised by the complaints, Viacom provided the Commission with new written information. 
Pursuant to 47 C.F.R.  1.1204(b)(7), the Commission has determined that service of this material
on all parties to the proceeding would be unduly burdensome because of the number of parties
involved.  Thus, this notice is being issued in lieu of service for the purpose of notifying the
public that copies of the new materials submitted by Viacom are included in the record of the
proceedings and are available for public inspection in the Cable Services Bureau's public
reference room, Room 333 at 2033 M Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.
