EXHIBIT 23.6


                        Report of Independent Accountants




To the Partners
Prime Cable of Alaska, L.P.



We have audited the accompanying statements of operations,  changes in partners'
capital deficiency, and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 1993 of Prime
Cable of Alaska,  L.P. These financial  statements are the responsibility of the
Partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material  respects,  the results of operations and cash flows of Prime Cable
of Alaska,  L.P.  for the year ended  December  31,  1993,  in  conformity  with
generally accepted accounting principles.
