EXHIBIT 23.5

                         Report of Independent Auditors




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



We have  audited  the  balance  sheets  of Prime  Cable  of  Alaska,  L.P.  (the
Partnership)  as of December  31, 1995 and 1994 and the  related  statements  of
operations,  changes in  partners'  capital  deficiency,  and cash flows for the
years  then  ended.  The  financial  statements  are the  responsibility  of the
Partnership's  management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
financial statements based on our audits.

We  conducted  our  audits  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 audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the 1995 and 1994 financial statements referred to above present
fairly,  in all  material  respects,  the  financial  position of Prime Cable of
Alaska, L.P. as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the results of its operations
and its cash  flows  for the  years  then  ended in  conformity  with  generally
accepted accounting principles.
