PROXY STATEMENT

A Proxy is being solicited by the Board of Directors of Viacom Inc. (the "Company" or "Viacom") for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") to be held on May 21, 2003. Holders of shares of the Company's Class A Common Stock, $0.01 par value ("Class A Common Stock"), on the books of the Company at the close of business on March 24, 2003 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments thereof. As of March 24, 2003, the Company had outstanding 134,927,417 shares of Class A Common Stock, each of such shares being entitled to one vote, and 1,620,258,015 shares of non-voting Class B Common Stock, $0.01 par value ("Class B Common Stock" and, together with the Class A Common Stock, "Common Stock").

A Proxy may be revoked at any time prior to being voted by written notice to the Secretary of the Company, by submission (including telephonic or electronic submission) of a Proxy bearing a later date or by voting in person at the meeting. Each valid and timely Proxy not revoked will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions thereon or if no instructions are specified thereon, then the Proxy will be voted as recommended by the Board of Directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the aggregate voting power of Class A Common Stock having voting power present in person or represented by proxy is required for the election of directors, the approval of the Amended and Restated Viacom Inc. Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "Proposed Plan") and the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock is required for the adoption of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation. A broker non-vote with respect to the election of directors, the approval of the Proposed Plan or the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors will have no effect on such matters. A broker non-vote with respect to the adoption of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation will have the effect of a vote against the adoption. An abstention with respect to any matter brought before the meeting will have the effect of a vote against such matter.

A Proxy for shares of Class A Common Stock held in the Company's or Blockbuster Inc.'s 401(k) plans may be revoked at any time prior to being voted by written notice to the Trustee of the respective plan or by submission (including telephonic or electronic submission) of a Proxy bearing a later date. Proxies for shares of Class A Common Stock held in the Company's or Blockbuster Inc.'s 401(k) plans that have not been voted will be voted in the same proportion as shares held in the respective plan that have been voted.

As of March 24, 2003, National Amusements, Inc. ("National Amusements") beneficially owned approximately 69% of the Class A Common Stock and approximately 11% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock on a combined basis. Sumner M. Redstone, the controlling stockholder of National Amusements, is Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

National Amusements has advised the Company that it intends to vote all of its shares of Class A Common Stock in favor of the election of the 17 nominated directors, the adoption of the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the approval of the Proposed Plan and the ratification of the appointment of the independent auditors. Such action by National Amusements will be sufficient to elect such directors, adopt the proposed Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, approve the Proposed Plan and ratify the appointment of the independent auditors without any action on the part of any other holder of Class A Common Stock.

The complete mailing address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 1515 Broadway, New York, New York 10036-5794. The Company intends to commence its distribution of the Proxy Statement and the Proxy on or about April 21, 2003.

**: Chair

In October 2002, the Board established a Corporate Governance Advisory Panel (the "Panel") to review the governance policies and practices of the Viacom Board of Directors and its committees, and to make recommendations to the Board with respect thereto. The Panel is comprised of four members of the Board of Directors: David T. McLaughlin, Frederic V. Salerno, William Schwartz and Ivan Seidenberg, with Mr. Seidenberg serving as the Chair. The Panel met twice during 2002. The Panel will become a Board Committee on May 4, 2003. Based on the recommendation of the Panel as well as input from the respective Board committees, during 2003 the Board adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and charters for the Audit, Corporate Governance, Compensation and Nominating Committees. These documents can be viewed in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's website at www.viacom.com/shareholder.tin; copies of these documents can be obtained by sending a written request to Viacom Inc., 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036-5794, Attention: Investor Relations. A copy of the new charter for the Audit Committee is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The functions of the Audit Committee during 2002 included considering the appointment of the independent auditors for the Company, reviewing with the auditors the plan and scope of the audit and audit fees, reviewing the Company's financial statements, monitoring the adequacy of reporting and internal controls and meeting on a periodic basis separately with senior management of the Company, the Company's General Counsel, its internal auditors and its independent auditors with respect to these matters. Management has the primary responsibility for the financial statements and the reporting process including the systems of internal controls. The revised charter and the functions of the Audit Committee for 2003 are described below in the "Report of the Audit Committee." The Board has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are "independent" as defined by the rules of the NYSE and under proposed SEC regulations. The Board has also determined that at least one of the members of its Audit Committee qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" under SEC regulations.

The functions of the Compensation Committee include reviewing the Company's general compensation strategy and reviewing and approving executive compensation (except with respect to

matters entrusted to the Officers Nominating Committee as described below). The Committee administers the Company's annual bonus compensation plan, long-term compensation plans and individual stock option grants, as well as its benefit plans. In addition, the Committee administers the bonus plan (the "Senior Executive STIP") for executives subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), determining the executive officers who participate in the plan, establishing performance targets and determining specific bonuses for the participants.

During the three year period following the CBS Merger, which ends on May 4, 2003, the Officers Nominating Committee has the power, subject to the powers of the Compensation Committee, to hire, elect, terminate, change positions, allocate responsibilities and determine non-equity compensation of officers and employees, other than the Chairman, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. The Officers Nominating Committee does not, however, have the power to fill the position of Chief Financial Officer, Controller or General Counsel without approval by a majority of the Board of Directors, although the Officers Nominating Committee has the power to terminate the employment of the persons holding those positions. Any action taken by the Officers Nominating Committee may be overturned by a vote of at least 14 directors.

The functions of the Nominating Committee include addressing nominations to the Board. The Nominating Committee will consider nominees recommended by the stockholders of the Company; recommendations should be submitted to the Company, to the attention of Michael D. Fricklas, Secretary.

DIRECTORS' COMPENSATION

Directors of the Company who are not officers or employees of the Company or National Amusements or members of their immediate family ("Outside Directors") are entitled to receive the directors' fees and are eligible to participate in the Company's stock option plans described below. Messrs. Abrams, Andelman, Conrades, Dauman, Gray, Leschly, McLaughlin, Miller, Salerno, Schwartz, Seidenberg and Walter and Ms. Stonesifer were Outside Directors for the entire 2002 calendar year.

Directors' Fees. Outside Directors received the following fees for 2002: (i) a quarterly retainer of $12,500; (ii) a per meeting attendance fee of $1,500 for each Board meeting; (iii) a per meeting attendance fee of $1,500 for each meeting of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee; and (iv) a $7,500 annual retainer fee for the Chair of the Audit Committee (currently Mr. Salerno), for the Chair of the Compensation Committee (currently Mr. Schwartz) and for the Chair of the Nominating Committee (currently Mr. Abrams). The members of the Corporate Governance Advisory Panel received a per meeting attendance fee of $1,500 and the Chair of the Corporate Governance Advisory Panel (currently Mr. Seidenberg) received a $7,500 annual retainer fee.

Deferred Compensation Plan. Messrs. Abrams, Andelman, Conrades, Leschly, Miller, Salerno, Schwartz, Seidenberg and Walter and Ms. Stonesifer have deferred payment of their retainer and attendance fees, pursuant to the Company's unfunded Non-Employee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan; these amounts are deemed invested in the number of stock units equal to the number of shares of Common Stock such amounts would have purchased when deferred. Payment will be made in cash in a lump sum or in three or five annual installments starting seven months after their retirement, with the value of the stock units determined by reference to the fair market values of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock at the time of retirement and, in the case of installment payments, credited with interest. For 2002, the stock unit accounts of Messrs. Abrams, Andelman, Conrades, Leschly, Miller, Salerno, Schwartz, Seidenberg and Walter and Ms. Stonesifer were credited with 753, 675, 726, 739, 761, 954, 949, 845, 724 and 864 Class A Common Stock units and 753, 675, 726, 740, 761, 954, 949, 845, 725 and 863 Class B Common Stock units, respectively.

Outside Directors' Stock Option Grants. Each Outside Director receives an annual grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase 3,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. Each Outside Director

also receives a grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Class B Common Stock when such person becomes an Outside Director. Outside Directors elected before May 1993 received a grant of non-qualified stock options to purchase 10,000 shares of Class B Common Stock at that time. Each Outside Director who had served as an Outside Director since 1989 also received a one-time grant in November 1994 of stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of Class B Common Stock. The per share exercise price of each grant has been the closing price of a share of Class B Common Stock on the American Stock Exchange or the NYSE on the date of grant. On January 31, 2002, Messrs. Abrams, Andelman, Conrades, Dauman, Gray, Leschly, McLaughlin, Miller, Salerno, Schwartz, Seidenberg and Walter and Ms. Stonesifer each received an annual grant to purchase 3,000 shares of Class B Common Stock, with a per share exercise price of $39.99 (the closing price of a share of Class B Common Stock on the NYSE on the date of grant).

Retirement Income Plan. Outside Directors appointed or elected before January 1, 1999 were eligible to participate in the unfunded, non-qualified Retirement Income Plan established in 1989. Pursuant to this plan, such Outside Directors will receive annual payments commencing on such director's retirement equal to 100% of the amount of the annual Board retainer at the time of such retirement (not including meeting attendance fees or the annual retainer for serving as Chair of the Audit, Compensation or Nominating Committee). The Plan provides that each such director or his estate will receive such annual payments for the number of years of such director's service on the Board.

INDEPENDENCE OF DIRECTORS

In January 2003, the Board of Directors adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Guidelines"), addressing, among other things, guidelines to assist the Board in determining the independence of the Company's directors. The full text of the Guidelines can be viewed in the Corporate Governance section of the Company's website at www.viacom.com/shareholder.tin and a copy of the Guidelines can be obtained by sending a written request to Viacom Inc., 1515 Broadway, New York, NY 10036-5794, Attention: Investor Relations.

Pursuant to the Guidelines, the Board and the Corporate Governance Advisory Panel reviewed the independence of the director nominees in March 2003. During this review, transactions and relationships between each director nominee or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company were considered, including, among others, those reported below under "Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation" and "Related Transactions". The purpose of this review was to determine whether each director nominee met the applicable criteria for independence under the NYSE rules and the Guidelines.

As a result of this review, a determination was made that eleven of the seventeen directors nominated for election at the annual meeting are independent of the Company and its management. The eleven independent director nominees are: Messrs. Califano, Cohen, Gray, Greenberg, Leschly, McLaughlin, Salerno, Schwartz, Seidenberg and Walter and Ms. Stonesifer.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

Report of the Audit Committee

The charter of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, as revised in January 2003, specifies that the purpose of the Committee is to oversee the accounting and financial reporting processes of the Company and audits of the financial statements of the Company and to assist the Board's oversight of:

•: the quality and integrity of the Company's financial statements and related disclosure;
•: the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements;
•: the independent auditors' qualifications and independence; and
•: the performance of the Company's internal audit function and independent auditors.

The full text of the Committee's revised charter is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

The Committee's authorities and duties include:

•: direct responsibility for the appointment, retention, termination, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor employed by the Company, which reports directly to the Committee, and sole authority to pre-approve all services to be provided by the independent auditor;
•: review and discussion of the Company's annual audited financial statements and quarterly financial statements with the Company's management and its independent auditor;
•: review of the internal audit function's organization, plans and results and of the qualifications and performance of the independent auditors;
•: review with management the effectiveness of the Company's internal controls; and
•: review with management any material legal matters and the effectiveness of the Company's procedures to ensure compliance with its legal and regulatory responsibilities.

As part of its oversight of the Company's financial statements, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and the Company's independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2002, including the Company's disclosures under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations". Management advised the Audit Committee that the Company's financial statements were prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and reviewed significant accounting issues with the Audit Committee. These reviews included discussions with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP of the matters required to be discussed pursuant to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees. The Audit Committee has also received the written disclosures and the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees, and has discussed with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP that firm's independence from the Company. The Audit Committee has also monitored the scope and adequacy of the Company's internal auditing program and reviewed internal audit staffing levels.

Based on the Audit Committee's review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for 2002, be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Audit and Non-Audit Fees

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the audit of the Company's 2002 annual financial statements, and fees billed for other services rendered by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP for the year ended December 31, 2002.

Audit fees		$	3,909,000

Effective October 1, 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP sold its management consulting business, including the business unit providing these services, to IBM; as a result, management consulting services are no longer being provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP. The consulting fees shown above, under item "Consulting services" totaling $5,732,000, reflect payments made during the year with respect to services contracted for and commenced prior to October 1, 2002.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP did not render any professional services to the Company relating to financial information systems design and implementation. All non-audit services were reviewed with the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm's independence in the conduct of its auditing functions. On an ongoing basis, all services provided by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP are pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following Report of the Compensation Committee and the performance graph included elsewhere in this proxy statement do not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report or the performance graph by reference therein.

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has furnished the following report on executive compensation for calendar year 2002.

All members of the Committee were "outside directors" for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code") and were "independent" within the meaning of the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. During 2002, the Compensation Committee reviewed and approved the Company's executive compensation for any executive whose compensation was, or could be, subject to Section 162(m) of the Code, and for any executive whose salary and target bonus compensation equaled or exceeded $1 million per annum. Independent compensation consultants have advised the Committee from time to time with respect to the Company's incentive compensation plans since 1987.

The objectives of the executive compensation package for the Company's executive officers are to:

•: set levels of annual salary and bonus compensation that will attract and retain superior executives in the highly competitive environment of global media companies;
•: provide annual bonus compensation for executive officers that varies with the Company's financial performance and reflects the executive officer's individual contribution to that performance;
•: provide long-term compensation that is tied to the Company's stock price so as to focus the attention of the executive officers on managing the Company from the perspective of an owner with an equity stake;
•: emphasize performance-based compensation, through annual bonus compensation and long-term compensation, over fixed compensation; and
•: encourage performance in non-financial matters of importance to the Company, such as promoting diversity in the workplace, positioning the Company for longer-term success, promoting the development of management and maintaining and enhancing the Company's compliance with legal requirements.

The Committee evaluated the competitiveness of its executive compensation packages based on information from a variety of sources, including information supplied by consultants and information obtained from the media or from the Company's own experience. The Committee also focused on executive compensation offered by the members of the peer group included in the performance graph set forth on a subsequent page. At times, the Committee also evaluated compensation relative to a broader range of companies, whether or not included in such peer group, that have particular lines of business comparable to those of the Company.

Compliance with Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)

Section 162(m) of the Code generally limits to $1 million the federal tax deductibility of compensation (including stock options) paid in one year to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers whose compensation is individually disclosed in the tables that appear on subsequent pages (the "named executive officers"). The tax deductibility of deferred compensation paid to an executive officer when he is no longer subject to Section 162(m) is not subject to the limitation. Performance-based compensation (including stock options) is also subject to an exception, provided such compensation meets certain requirements, including stockholder approval.

Compensation for the Company's executive officers is comprised of base salary, annual bonus compensation, long-term compensation in the form of stock options and deferred compensation for any executive officer whose annual base salary exceeds $1 million. The annual bonus plan for most of the Company's executive officers (the "Senior Executive STIP") and the Company's stock option plans (the "LTMIP") were designed to comply with the Section 162(m) exception for performance-based compensation. The Senior Executive STIP provides objective performance-based annual bonuses, subject to a maximum limit of eight (8) times the executive's annual salary compensation, consisting of base salary plus any deferred compensation. Long-term compensation for the Company's executive officers has been provided through grants of LTMIP stock options. It is expected that long-term compensation for future years will continue to be provided through grants of LTMIP stock options. The stockholders of the Company have approved the Senior Executive STIP and the LTMIP.

Annual Salary Compensation

Annual salary compensation levels for executive officers are designed to be consistent with competitive practice and level of responsibility. Annual salary compensation for 2002 consisted of base salary and, for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, deferred compensation.

Annual Bonus Compensation

Annual bonus compensation for 2002 for the named executive officers was provided under the Senior Executive STIP. In accordance with the Senior Executive STIP and as permitted by Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee established performance criteria and target awards for these executive officers. The performance criteria related to the attainment of a specified level of operating income for the Company as a whole. For this purpose, the Senior Executive STIP used the EBITDA definition of revenues less operating expenses (other than depreciation, amortization and non-recurring charges) to define "operating income".

The level of the Senior Executive STIP annual bonuses for 2002 for the Company's executive officers was based on the determination of the Committee that the performance criteria established for 2002 had been achieved. The Committee considered a number of factors, including the role played by the executive officers in achieving record operating results in an extraordinarily difficult environment, and awarded the annual bonuses set forth in the Summary Executive Compensation Table.

Long-Term Compensation

The Committee believes that the use of equity-based long-term compensation plans appropriately links executive interests to enhancing stockholder value.

Grants of LTMIP stock options for Class B Common Stock are awarded to the Company's executive officers on an annual basis. These stock options vest over a four-year period and have a ten-year term from the date of grant. The exercise price of these stock options is set at the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock on the date of grant.

Chief Executive Officer's and Chief Operating Officer's Compensation

The Company entered into employment agreements with Mr. Redstone to serve as its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and with Mr. Karmazin to serve as its President and Chief Operating Officer after the CBS Merger. The terms of those agreements are described below under "Employment and Severance Agreements".

Messrs. Redstone and Karmazin each received a grant of LTMIP options in May 2002 to purchase 600,000 shares of Class B Common Stock that vest in four equal annual installments. These stock options have a ten-year term from the date of grant. The exercise price of these stock options was set at the fair market value of the Class B Common Stock on the date of grant.

The level of the Senior Executive STIP annual bonuses for 2002 for Messrs. Redstone and Karmazin was based on the determination of the Compensation Committee that the performance criteria established for 2002 had been achieved. The Committee considered a number of factors, including the role played by Messrs. Redstone and Karmazin in achieving record operating results in an extraordinarily difficult environment, and awarded the annual bonuses set forth in the Summary Executive Compensation Table.

Option Grants in Fiscal 2002

The following table sets forth certain information with respect to executive stock options to purchase shares of Class B Common Stock awarded during 2002 to the named executives. The table includes a column designated "Grant Date Present Value." The calculation in that column is based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model adapted for use in valuing executive stock options. There is no way to anticipate what the actual growth rate of the Class B Common Stock will be.

NOTES:

(1): These grants were awarded to Messrs. Redstone, Karmazin and Bressler on May 22, 2002 and vest in one-quarter increments on May 22, 2003, May 22, 2004, May 22, 2005 and May 22, 2006.
(2): These grants were awarded to Messrs. Fricklas and Roskin on January 30, 2002 and vest in one-quarter increments on January 30, 2003, January 30, 2004, January 30, 2005 and January 30, 2006.
(3): Based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model adapted for use in valuing executive stock options. The actual value, if any, an executive may realize will depend on the excess of the stock price over the exercise price on the date the option is exercised. There is no assurance that the value realized by an executive will be at or near the value estimated by the Black-Scholes model. The grant date values presented in the table were determined in part using the following assumptions. No adjustments were made for non-transferability or risk of forfeiture.


Expected volatility		37.03%
Risk-free rate of return		5.0%
Dividend yield		—
Time of exercise		6.7 Years

The approach used in developing the assumptions upon which the Black-Scholes valuation was done is consistent with the requirements of the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation".

Under the terms of the Viacom Pension Plan and the Viacom Excess Pension Plan for certain higher compensated employees (collectively, the "Viacom Pension Plans"), an eligible employee will receive a benefit at retirement that is based upon the employee's number of years of benefit service up to a maximum of 30 years and final average compensation (salary and bonus) for the highest 60 consecutive months out of the final 120 months. Such compensation is limited to $750,000 per year or, for any executive employed by Viacom as of December 31, 1995, the executive's base salary as of December 31, 1995, if greater. The benefits under the Viacom Excess Pension Plan are not subject to the Internal Revenue Code provisions that limit the compensation used to determine benefits and the amount of annual benefits payable under the Viacom Pension Plan. The foregoing table illustrates, for representative average annual pensionable compensation and years of benefit service classifications, the annual retirement benefit payable to employees under the Viacom Pension Plans upon retirement in 2002 at age 65, based on the straight-life annuity form of benefit payment and not subject to deduction or offset.

Mr. Karmazin's benefits under the Viacom Pension Plans will be calculated as though he had approximately 15 years of benefit service in accordance with the terms of his employment agreement with the Company. The number of years of benefit service that have been credited for Messrs. Bressler, Fricklas and Roskin are approximately 1 year, 8.5 years and 15 years, respectively. To date, Mr. Redstone has not participated in the Viacom Pension Plans.

Mr. Karmazin has a vested benefit under an Infinity pension plan which was frozen in November 1987. He has not accrued any additional benefits under this plan since November 1987. As of December 31, 2002, the estimated monthly retirement benefit payable to Mr. Karmazin under the frozen Infinity pension plan upon retirement at age 65 and based on a single-life annuity form of benefit payment and not subject to deduction or offset is $1,408.

He also received all additional service credit necessary to provide him with 20 years of service under any Company plans for which that credit would entitle him to additional benefits. The agreement provides for a gross-up payment to be made to Mr. Dauman to eliminate the effects of any possible imposition under the Code of the "golden parachute" excise tax on any payment or benefit he receives under his agreement or otherwise.

During the year ended December 31, 2002, National Amusements made payments to Paramount Pictures in the aggregate amount of approximately $12.3 million to license Paramount Pictures films. National Amusements licenses films from a number of unaffiliated companies and the Company believes that the terms of the licenses between National Amusements and Paramount Pictures were no less favorable to Paramount Pictures than licenses between unaffiliated companies and National Amusements were to such unaffiliated companies. The Company expects to continue to license Paramount Pictures films to National Amusements upon similar terms in the future.

National Amusements received an extension of time on their leases as is the standard discounting practice provided by Viacom Outdoor to approximately 50% of their customer base. The Company believes that the terms of the leases were no less favorable to the Company than it would have obtained from parties in which there was no such ownership interest.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), requires the Company's executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of the Company's equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the Commission and the NYSE. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by the Exchange Act to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based upon the Company's compliance program, a review of the forms furnished to the Company and written representations, the Company believes that during 2002, its executive officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements. During 2000, Brent Redstone and Shari Redstone each inadvertently failed to file one report for the purchase of 1,000 shares of Class B Common Stock by each of five trusts for the benefit of their respective minor children. The forms were promptly filed in 2002 upon discovery of the omission.

ITEM 2—ADOPTION OF AN AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION OF VIACOM INC.
WHICH AMENDS CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO INDEMNIFICATION
OF DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES AND AGENTS

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved and is submitting for stockholder adoption an Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation which amends certain provisions of the Company's current Restated Certificate of Incorporation (the "Current Certificate") relating to indemnification of directors, officers, employees and agents. The text of the Current Certificate, as amended and restated to incorporate the proposed amendments, is attached as Exhibit B (the "Proposed Certificate"). The following summary of the amendments should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Proposed Certificate in Exhibit B.

PURPOSE OF THE PROPOSED CERTIFICATE

The Board believes that it is important for the Company to continue to attract and retain qualified directors and officers. In order to do so, the Board believes that it is appropriate to protect its directors and officers by providing to them in the Proposed Certificate provisions for indemnification and

advancement of expenses. Accordingly, the Board of Directors has approved and declared advisable the Proposed Certificate. The following summary highlights the material differences between the Current Certificate and the Proposed Certificate:


	Current Certificate	Proposed Certificate

Right to Indemnification by the Company	Actions Other than Derivative Actions: The Current Certificate provides that the Company must indemnify any director, officer, employee or agent (an "Indemnitee") who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding (other than a derivative action) if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful. Derivative Actions: The Current Certificate provides that the Company must indemnify any Indemnitee who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any action, suit or proceeding if the Indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Company, except that indemnification is not available in respect of a matter as to which the Indemnitee has been adjudged liable to the Company except to the extent that the court shall determine is proper.	The Proposed Certificate provides that the Company must indemnify any Indemnitee to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"), as it may be amended in the future. The provisions of the Current Certificate are the same as those under which the DGCL currently authorizes a corporation to provide indemnification. However, if the indemnification provisions of the DGCL are amended in the future, the indemnification provisions in the Current Certificate would no longer match the provisions of the DGCL. The Proposed Certificate will require the Company to provide indemnification to an Indemnitee to the fullest extent of the DGCL, as it may be amended in the future, so that subsequent amendments to the Proposed Certificate will not be necessary for it to remain consistent with the DGCL.


	Current Certificate	Proposed Certificate

Persons Entitled to Indemnification	The Current Certificate provides that an Indemnitee who is "a party or is threatened to be made a party to" any proceeding is entitled to indemnification in the circumstances described above.	The Proposed Certificate provides that an Indemnitee who is "involved in or is threatened to be involved in" any proceeding is entitled to indemnification in the circumstances described above. This would allow an Indemnitee who incurs costs by appearing as a witness, for example, to be indemnified.

Limitation on Indemnification for Proceedings Brought by an Indemnitee	The Current Certificate does not contain any such limitation.	The Proposed Certificate provides that, except for proceedings to enforce an Indemnitee's rights to indemnification or advancement of expenses, the Company must indemnify an Indemnitee for expenses incurred in a proceeding commenced by the Indemnitee only if the Board of Directors authorized the commencement of such proceeding in advance.

Advancement of Expenses	The Current Certificate provides that expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending any proceeding will be paid by the Company in advance of the final disposition of such proceeding upon receipt of an undertaking by the Indemnitee to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Company.	The Proposed Certificate provides that such an undertaking will be required from the Indemnitee only to the extent it is required by the DGCL. The DGCL currently requires that such an undertaking be provided by someone who is a director or officer at the time the advancement is sought, but not by a former director or officer who seeks advancement.


	Current Certificate	Proposed Certificate

Proceedings to Enforce Rights to Indemnification	The Current Certificate does not contain any such provisions.	The Proposed Certificate requires the Company to pay claims for indemnification within 60 days of submission to the Company, and to pay claims for advancement of expenses within 30 days of submission to the Company. If the Company fails to do so, the Indemnitee is authorized to bring suit against the Company to recover the unpaid amount of such claim. If the Indemnitee is successful in such an action, or in a suit brought by the Company to recover an advancement of expenses, the Indemnitee will be entitled to be indemnified for the expenses of bringing or defending the suit. In addition, the Proposed Certificate includes certain other procedures for handling claims for indemnification and advancement of expenses.

Preservation of Rights	The Current Certificate does not contain an explicit provision to this effect.	The Proposed Certificate clarifies that any repeal or modification of the provisions regarding indemnification or advancement of expenses will not adversely affect any right or protection of an Indemnitee existing at the time of the repeal or modification.

In addition to the changes summarized above, certain provisions of the Current Certificate (Article XIII and Annex I and any references thereto) that, by their terms, have no effect after May 3, 2003 have been eliminated from the Proposed Certificate.

The Board of Directors of the Company recommends a vote "FOR" the adoption of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

ITEM 3—APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED
VIACOM INC. SENIOR EXECUTIVE SHORT-TERM INCENTIVE PLAN
WHICH AMENDS CERTAIN PROVISIONS RELATING TO THE PERFORMANCE
CRITERIA AND INCREASES THE MAXIMUM LIMIT FOR BONUSES
PAYABLE UNDER THE PLAN

The Board of Directors of the Company has approved and is submitting for stockholder approval an Amended and Restated Viacom Inc. Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan which amends certain provisions of the Company's current Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan (the "Existing Plan") to expand the performance criteria on which bonuses payable under the plan are based and to provide that the maximum limit on such bonuses is based on current compensation levels. The text of the Existing Plan, as amended and restated to incorporate the proposed amendments, is attached as Exhibit C (the "Proposed Plan" and, together with the Existing Plan, the "Plans"). The following description of the Proposed Plan should be read in conjunction with, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Proposed Plan in Exhibit C.

The Existing Plan has provided objective performance-based annual bonuses for selected senior executives of the Company, subject to a maximum limit, starting with the 1994 calendar year. The Board of Directors and the stockholders of the Company approved the Existing Plan and all material amendments. Approximately ten executive officers of the Company have participated in the Existing Plan annually.

Amounts paid under the Plans qualify as "performance-based compensation" which is excluded from the $1 million limit on deductible compensation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. The Compensation Committee determines awards under the Plans based upon the achievement of certain performance criteria, including Company performance, which are not currently determinable. For this reason, it is not possible to determine the amounts that will be received by senior executives participating in the Proposed Plan in the future.

PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED PLAN

Purpose of the Proposed Plan

The Board of Directors of the Company believes that it is important to expand the performance criteria on which bonuses payable under the Plan are based in order to give the Compensation Committee greater flexibility to establish appropriate financial goals. In addition, the Company has recently entered into new employment agreements with its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and its President and Chief Operating Officer. By basing the maximum bonus that is payable to these executive officers and the other officers who will participate in the Proposed Plan on compensation levels in the new agreements, the Company will have added flexibility to deduct the amount of their bonuses from its taxable income.

Administration

The Proposed Plan will be administered by the Compensation Committee or another committee appointed by the Board (the "Committee"). The Committee must be comprised of at least two members of the Board of Directors, each of whom must be an "outside director" within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Proposed Plan authorizes the Committee to approve awards to selected executive officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and divisions at the level of Senior Vice President or above.

Awards

Under the Proposed Plan, the Committee will designate the executive officers who will participate in the Proposed Plan for each performance period and establish, in writing, performance criteria and target awards for each participant for such performance period not later than ninety days after the start of such period but in any event before not more than 25% of such period has elapsed. A performance period

generally corresponds to the Company's calendar year but could, in certain circumstances, be a longer or shorter period designated by the Committee.

The performance criteria relate to the achievement of financial goals. For performance periods beginning on or after January 1, 2004, such criteria will relate to one or more of the following: EBITDA, operating income, free cash flow, or net earnings. For this purpose, "EBITDA" is defined as the Company's operating income before depreciation, amortization and inter-company eliminations, and "free cash flow" is defined as the Company's operating income before depreciation and amortization, less cash interest, taxes paid, working capital requirements and capital expenditures. "Operating income" and "net earnings" are defined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP).

Shortly after the end of each performance period, the Committee will certify whether the performance criteria have been achieved; if so, the awards will have been earned, subject to the Committee's right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount of the award to any participant to reflect the Committee's assessment of the participant's individual performance or for any other reason. These awards will be payable in cash as soon as practicable thereafter.

To receive an award under the Proposed Plan, the participant must have remained in the continuous employ of the Company or its subsidiaries through the end of the applicable performance period. If the Company or any subsidiary terminates a participant's employment other than for cause, a participant terminates his employment for "good reason" or a participant becomes permanently disabled or dies during a performance period, such participant or his estate will be awarded, unless his employment agreement provides otherwise, a pro rata portion of the award for such performance period, subject to the Committee's right, in its sole discretion, to reduce the amount of such award to reflect the Committee's assessment of such participant's individual performance prior to the termination of such participant's employment, such participant's becoming permanently disabled or such participant's death, as the case may be, or for any other reason.

Maximum Award

The Proposed Plan provides that the maximum award to any participant for any performance period cannot exceed eight times a participant's "salary." Under the Proposed Plan, "salary" for any performance period means the sum of: (i) the participant's base salary on March 20, 2003 and (ii) the compensation deferred by the participant for that performance period pursuant to the participant's employment agreement entered into on or before March 20, 2003. If the participant's employment agreement expires or is no longer in effect for any part of any given performance period, then the amount of compensation deferred by the participant in the last performance period that the employment agreement was in effect will be used for purposes of calculating "salary". If a participant is hired after March 20, 2003, "salary" means the sum of (i) the participant's base salary on the date of hire and (ii) the compensation deferred by the participant in the year of hire pursuant to the participant's employment agreement as in effect on the date of hire. The "salary" of any participant hired after March 20, 2003 cannot exceed 1.5 times the highest "salary" on March 20, 2003 of any person participating in the Proposed Plan on that date.

The Existing Plan uses the date of May 25, 2000 to determine base salary and deferred compensation amounts, as more fully described below under the heading "Comparison to Existing Plan". Because the Company has entered into new employment agreements with a number of its executive officers including the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and the President and Chief Operating Officer, the definition of "salary" needed to be revised to reflect the compensation provided in these executives' new employment agreements. For example, for the 2003 performance period (for which the Existing Plan will still be effective), a participant's "salary" is based on the participant's base salary that was in effect on May 25, 2000 and the amount of compensation deferred for 2003 as set forth in the participant's employment agreement that was in effect on or before May 25, 2000. For the 2004 performance period (for which the

Proposed Plan will be in effect assuming stockholder approval), a participant's "salary" will be based on the participant's base salary that was in effect on March 20, 2003 and the amount of compensation deferred for 2004 as set forth in the participant's employment agreement that was entered into on or before March 20, 2003.

The maximum dollar amount of compensation that could be payable to any participant for any performance period under the Proposed Plan is $51,446,128. This amount equals the maximum award that could be payable to the Chief Executive Officer for the 2008 calendar year. The actual bonuses that have been awarded under the Existing Plan have in fact been much smaller than the maximum bonuses that could have been awarded under the plan; however, the Compensation Committee believes that the amendment is appropriate in order to maximize the ability of the Company to deduct awards from its taxable income.

Adjustments

In the event that, during a performance period, any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin-off, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets or other similar corporate transaction or event, or any other extraordinary event, occurs, or any other event or circumstance occurs which has the effect, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, of distorting the applicable performance criteria involving the Company, including, without limitation, changes in accounting standards, the Committee may adjust or modify, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, the calculation of EBITDA, operating income, free cash flow and/or net earnings, or the applicable performance criteria, to the extent necessary to prevent the reduction or enlargement of participants' awards for such performance period attributable to such transaction, circumstance or event.

Transfer Restrictions, Etc.

The rights of a participant with respect to awards under the Plan will not be transferable by a participant other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution. No award under the Plan will be construed as giving any employee a right to continued employment with the Company.

Amendment

The Board of Directors of the Company may at any time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part.

Comparison to Existing Plan

The major differences in the terms of the Proposed Plan as compared to the Existing Plan relate to the performance criteria on which bonuses payable under the plan are based and the definition of salary used to determine the maximum limit on the bonus paid to any executive participating in the plan. In the Existing Plan, the performance criteria related to "operating income", which was defined as EBITDA (revenues less operating expenses other than depreciation, amortization and non-recurring charges) and/or to "net earnings" which was defined as earnings from continuing operations. "Salary" was defined in the Existing Plan as the sum of (i) the participant's base salary on May 25, 2000 and (ii) an amount equal to the annual rate of any compensation for such year deferred pursuant to the participant's employment agreement in effect on May 25, 2000 until no earlier than the year after the participant ceased to be an executive officer of the Company. These definitions of the performance criteria and salary remain in effect for the 2003 performance period.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the Amended and Restated Viacom Inc. Senior Executive Short-Term Incentive Plan.

NOTES:

(1): This table does not include plans assumed by Viacom pursuant to the Viacom/CBS merger, the Infinity merger, the acquisition of BET, the Blockbuster merger and the Paramount merger (collectively, the "Mergers"), if no awards were made under such plans after completion of the respective Mergers. This table does not, therefore, include options for 6,996 shares of Viacom Class A Common Stock in the aggregate, options for 48,601,997 shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock in the aggregate, a warrant for 135,420 shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock and 5,698 shares of Class B Common Stock underlying common stock equivalents credited to CBS directors, all of which were assumed in the Mergers and outstanding as of December 31, 2002. The weighted average exercise price of these options and warrants as of December 31, 2002 was $29.45.
(2): These plans are the Viacom Inc. 1989, 1994, 1997 and 2000 Long-Term Management Incentive Plans and the Viacom Inc. 1993, 1994 and 2000 Outside Directors Stock Option Plans.
(3): These plans are the CBS 1991 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "CBS 1991 LTIP"), the CBS 1993 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "CBS 1993 LTIP") and the Infinity 1998 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Infinity 1998 LTIP") that were assumed by Viacom pursuant to the Viacom/CBS merger and the Infinity merger and pursuant to which additional awards, reflected in column (a) in the table, were made after the applicable dates of such mergers.
(4): This number does not include options for 28,092,355 shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock assumed by Viacom in the Viacom/CBS merger and the Infinity merger with a weighted-average exercise price of $33.61 that were granted under the CBS 1991 LTIP, the CBS 1993 LTIP and the Infinity 1998 LTIP.
(5): The CBS 1993 LTIP that was assumed by Viacom in connection with the Viacom/CBS merger provides for an automatic share reserve increase on January 1 of each calendar year from 1994 up to and including 2003 by an amount equal to 1% of the number of shares outstanding on December 31 of the preceding year. Viacom did not continue this automatic share reserve increase after the Viacom/CBS merger. As such, the number noted in the table only reflects the 1% increase up to and including January 1, 2000.
(6): The Infinity 1998 LTIP that was assumed by Viacom in connection with the Infinity merger provides for an automatic share reserve increase on January 1 of each calendar year from and including January 1, 2001 by 10,000,000 shares of Infinity Class A Common Stock. Viacom did not continue this automatic share reserve increase after the Infinity merger. As such, the number noted in the table only reflects such increase up to and including January 1, 2001.

Below are descriptions of equity compensation plans not approved by Viacom security holders and under which awards were made after the dates of the Viacom/CBS merger and the Infinity merger, as applicable (see note (3)).

CBS 1991 LTIP, CBS 1993 LTIP and Infinity 1998 LTIP:

Viacom assumed the CBS 1991 LTIP and the CBS 1993 LTIP (together, the "CBS LTIPS") when CBS Corporation merged into Viacom in May 2000. Viacom assumed the Infinity 1998 LTIP when Infinity Broadcasting Corporation merged into Viacom in February 2001. Stock options issued under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP prior to the respective mergers were converted into Viacom options with the number of options and the related exercise prices adjusted, in the case of the CBS Merger, by 1.085 to reflect the CBS exchange ratio and, in the case of the Infinity merger, by 0.592 to reflect the Infinity exchange ratio.

The CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP provide for grants of non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights and limited stock appreciation rights, performance awards and restricted stock. The CBS 1993 LTIP and the Infinity 1998 LTIP also provide for grants of incentive stock options. Stock options were the only awards issued under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP that were assumed by Viacom at the time of the respective mergers and that are currently outstanding.

The maximum number of shares of Viacom Class B Common Stock available for future grants is 5,783,680 under the CBS 1991 LTIP, 6,010,246 under the CBS 1993 LTIP and 16,122,237 under the Infinity 1998 LTIP. As discussed in notes (5) and (6) to the Equity Compensation Plan Table, the CBS 1993 LTIP and the Infinity 1998 LTIP provide for an annual automatic share reserve increase which Viacom did not continue after the dates of the respective mergers. As such, the numbers noted in the first sentence of this paragraph only reflect these automatic increases up to and including January 1, 2000 for the CBS 1993 LTIP and January 1, 2001 for the Infinity 1998 LTIP.

Employees of Viacom and its subsidiaries are currently eligible to receive awards under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP. Prior to the Viacom/CBS merger and the Infinity merger, stock options were awarded by CBS and Infinity to their respective management and employees under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP. Option grants pursuant to the "Fund the Future" program were also made under these plans. After the mergers, Viacom awarded stock options in 2001 and 2002 under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP pursuant to the "Fund the Future" program to certain employees in the CBS, Infinity and King World divisions of Viacom. No awards have been made under the CBS LTIPS and the 1998 Infinity LTIP since 2002 and Viacom does not expect to make any additional awards under the CBS LTIPS or the Infinity 1998 LTIP.

The exercise price of stock options issued under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP cannot be less than the fair market value on the date of grant. The management stock options granted under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP generally vested over a one to four-year period and a one to three-year period, respectively, and vested options could be exercised at any time until the ten-year expiration date subject to provisions regarding termination of employment.

Stock options granted under the CBS LTIPS and the Infinity 1998 LTIP pursuant to the "Fund the Future" program are subject to a three-year holding period as well as a vesting schedule that is related to years of service. Generally, vested options granted under this program are portable and can be exercised once the three-year holding period has been satisfied but not beyond the ten-year expiration date, subject to provisions regarding termination of employment. The Compensation Committee has the power to accelerate the time at which any option may vest or be exercised.

No awards may be granted under the CBS 1993 LTIP and the Infinity 1998 LTIP after May 25, 2003 and December 6, 2008, respectively. The CBS 1991 LTIP will continue until termination by the Viacom Board of Directors.

ARTICLE VI
INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS AND OTHERS

(1) Right to Indemnification. The Corporation shall indemnify any person who was or is involved in or is threatened to be involved in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent (including, without limitation, a trustee) of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the fullest extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended (but, in the case of any such amendment and unless applicable law otherwise requires, only to the extent that such amendment permits the Corporation to provide broader indemnification rights than such law permitted the Corporation to provide prior to such amendment), against judgments, fines, amounts paid in settlement and expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees), actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as provided in paragraph (7) of this Article VI with respect to proceedings to enforce rights to indemnification and advancement of expenses, the Corporation shall indemnify an indemnitee in connection with a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by the indemnitee, if and only if the Board of Directors authorized the bringing of the action, suit or proceeding (or part thereof) in advance of the commencement of the proceeding.

(2) Successful Defense. To the extent that a present or former Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to in Section 1 of this Article VI, or in defense of any claim, issue or matter therein, he shall be indemnified against expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection therewith.

(3) Advance Payment of Expenses.

(a) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by a Director or officer in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding shall be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding; provided, however, that, to the extent required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or may hereafter be amended, such Director or officer shall submit to the Corporation, prior to the payment of such expenses, an undertaking by or on behalf of such Director or officer to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined in a final, non-appealable judicial decision that such indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation for such expenses as authorized in this Article.

(b) Expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred by any other employee or agent in defending any civil, criminal, administrative or investigative action, suit or proceeding may be paid by the Corporation in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon such terms and conditions, if any, as the Corporation deems appropriate.

B-4

(4) Not Exclusive. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, the other sections of this Article VI shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which a person seeking indemnification or advancement of expenses may be entitled under any statute, by-law, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as to action in his official capacity and as to action in another capacity while holding such office. Without limiting the foregoing, the Corporation is authorized to enter into an agreement with any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation providing indemnification for such person against expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement that result from any threatened, pending or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, including, without limitation, any action by or in the right of the Corporation, that arises by reason of the fact that such person is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, to the full extent allowed by law, except that no such agreement shall provide for indemnification for any actions that constitute fraud, actual dishonesty or willful misconduct.

(5) Insurance. The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability under the provisions of this Article VI.

(6) Certain Definitions. For the purposes of this Article VI, (A) any Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation who shall serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of any other corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Corporation, directly or indirectly, is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which the Corporation is or was in any way interested, or (B) any director, officer, employee or agent of any subsidiary corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise wholly owned by the Corporation, shall be deemed to be serving as such director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation, unless the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall determine otherwise. In all other instances where any person shall serve as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise of which the Corporation is or was a stockholder or creditor, or in which it is or was otherwise interested, if it is not otherwise established that such person is or was serving as such director, officer, employee or agent at the request of the Corporation, the Board of Directors of the Corporation may determine whether such service is or was at the request of the Corporation, and it shall not be necessary to show any actual or prior request for such service. For purposes of this Article VI, references to a corporation include all constituent corporations absorbed in a consolidation or merger as well as the resulting or surviving corporation so that any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such a constituent corporation or is or was serving at the request of such constituent corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, joint venture, trust or other enterprise shall stand in the same position under the provisions of this Article VI with respect to the resulting or surviving corporation as he would if he had served the resulting or surviving corporation in the same capacity. For purposes of this Article VI, references to "other enterprises" shall include employee benefit plans; references to "fines" shall include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and references to "serving at the request of the Corporation" shall include any service as a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, such Director, officer, employee, or agent with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants, or beneficiaries, and a person who acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries of an employee benefit plan shall be deemed to have acted in a manner "not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation" as referred to in this Article VI.

B-5

(7) Proceedings to Enforce Rights to Indemnification.

(a) If a claim under paragraph (1) of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within 60 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, or a claim under paragraph (3) of this Article VI is not paid in full by the Corporation within 30 days after a written claim has been received by the Corporation, the indemnitee may at any time thereafter bring suit against the Corporation to recover the unpaid amount of the claim. Any such written claim under paragraph (1) of this Article VI shall include such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the indemnitee and reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the indemnitee is entitled to indemnification. Any written claim under paragraph (3) of this Article VI shall include reasonable documentation of the expenses incurred by the indemnitee.

(b) If successful in whole or in part in any suit brought pursuant to paragraph 7(a) above, or in a suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the indemnitee shall also be entitled to be paid and indemnified for the expense of prosecuting or defending such suit.

(c) In (i) any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder (but not in a suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to an advancement of expenses) it shall be a defense that, and (ii) any suit brought by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Corporation shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon a final adjudication that, the indemnitee has not met any applicable standard for indemnification set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law. Neither the failure of the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) to have made a determination prior to the commencement of such suit that indemnification of the indemnitee is proper in the circumstances because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in the Delaware General Corporation Law, nor an actual determination by the Corporation (including its Directors who are not parties to such action, a committee of such Directors, independent legal counsel or its stockholders) that the indemnitee has not met such applicable standard of conduct, shall create a presumption that the indemnitee has not met the applicable standard of conduct or, in the case of such a suit brought by the indemnitee, be a defense to such suit. In any suit brought by the indemnitee to enforce a right to indemnification or to an advancement of expenses hereunder, or by the Corporation to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified, or to such advancement of expenses, under this Article VI or otherwise shall be on the Corporation.

(8) Preservation of Rights. The indemnification and advancement of expenses provided by, or granted pursuant to, this Article VI shall, unless otherwise provided when authorized or ratified, continue as to a person who has ceased to be a Director, officer, employee or agent and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs, executors and administrators of such a person. Any repeal or modification of this Article VI by the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

ARTICLE VII
DIRECTOR LIABILITY TO THE CORPORATION

(a) A Director's liability to the Corporation for breach of duty to the Corporation or its stockholders shall be limited to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law as in effect on February 24, 1987 or as thereafter amended. In particular no Director of the Corporation shall be liable to the Corporation or any of its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability

B-6

(i) for any breach of the Director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same exists or hereafter may be amended, or (iv) for any transaction from which the Director derived an improper personal benefit.

(b) Any repeal or modification of the foregoing paragraph (a) by the stockholders of the Corporation entitled to vote thereon shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a Director of the Corporation existing at the time of such repeal or modification.

(c) If the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware is amended to authorize corporate action further eliminating or limiting the liability of directors, then a Director of the Corporation shall be free of liability to the fullest extent permitted by the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as so amended.

ARTICLE VIII
RESERVATION OF RIGHT TO AMEND

ARTICLE IX

(1) Class A Common Stock. In addition to any other approval required by law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the affirmative vote of a majority of the then outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock, voted separately as a class, shall be necessary to approve any consolidation of the Corporation with another corporation, any merger of the Corporation into another corporation or any merger of any other corporation into the Corporation pursuant to which shares of Common Stock are converted into or exchanged for any securities or any other consideration.

In addition to any other approval required by law or by this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, each particular series of any class of Preferred Stock shall have such right to vote, if any, as shall be fixed in the resolution or resolutions, adopted by the Board of Directors, providing for the issuance of shares of such particular series.

ARTICLE X
STOCK OWNERSHIP
AND THE FEDERAL COMMUNICATIONS LAWS

(1) Requests for Information. So long as the Corporation or any of its subsidiaries holds any authorization from the Federal Communications Commission (or any successor thereto), if the Corporation has reason to believe that the ownership, or proposed ownership, of shares of capital stock of

B-7

the Corporation by any stockholder or any person presenting any shares of capital stock of the Corporation for transfer into his name (a "Proposed Transferee") may be inconsistent with, or in violation of, any provision of the Federal Communications Laws (as hereinafter defined), such stockholder or Proposed Transferee, upon request of the Corporation, shall furnish promptly to the Corporation such information (including, without limitation, information with respect to citizenship, other ownership interests and affiliations) as the Corporation shall reasonably request to determine whether the ownership of, or the exercise of any rights with respect to, shares of capital stock of the Corporation by such stockholder or Proposed Transferee is inconsistent with, or in violation of, the Federal Communications Laws. For purposes of this Article X, the term "Federal Communications Laws" shall mean any law of the United States now or hereafter in effect (and any regulation thereunder) pertaining to the ownership of, or the exercise of the rights of ownership with respect to, capital stock of corporations holding, directly or indirectly, Federal Communications Commission authorizations, including, without limitation, the Communications Act of 1934, as amended (the "Communications Act"), and regulations thereunder pertaining to the ownership, or the exercise of the rights of ownership, of capital stock of corporations holding, directly or indirectly, Federal Communications Commission authorizations, by (i) aliens, as defined in or under the Communications Act, as it may be amended from time to time, (ii) persons and entities having interests in television or radio stations, daily newspapers and cable television systems or (iii) persons or entities, unilaterally or otherwise, seeking direct or indirect control of the Corporation, as construed under the Communications Act, without having obtained any requisite prior Federal regulatory approval to such control.

(2) Denial of Rights, Refusal to Transfer. If any stockholder or Proposed Transferee from whom information is requested should fail to respond to such request pursuant to Section (1) of this Article or the Corporation shall conclude that the ownership of, or the exercise of any rights of ownership with respect to, shares of capital stock of the Corporation, by such stockholder or Proposed Transferee, could result in any inconsistency with, or violation of, the Federal Communications Laws, the Corporation may refuse to permit the transfer of shares of capital stock of the Corporation to such Proposed Transferee, or may suspend those rights of stock ownership the exercise of which would result in any inconsistency with, or violation of, the Federal Communications Laws, such refusal of transfer or suspension to remain in effect until the requested information has been received and the Corporation has determined that such transfer, or the exercise of such suspended rights, as the case may be, is permissible under the Federal Communications Laws, and the Corporation may exercise any and all appropriate remedies, at law or in equity, in any court of competent jurisdiction, against any such stockholder or Proposed Transferee, with a view towards obtaining such information or preventing or curing any situation which would cause any inconsistency with, or violation of, any provision of the Federal Communications Laws.

(3) Legends. The Corporation may note on the certificates of its capital stock that the shares represented by such certificates are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Article.

(4) Certain Definitions. For purposes of this Article, the word "person" shall include not only natural persons but partnerships, associations, corporations, joint ventures and other entities, and the word "regulation" shall include not only regulations but rules, published policies and published controlling interpretations by an administrative agency or body empowered to administer a statutory provision of the Federal Communications Laws.

TRANSACTIONS WITH DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

No contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, or between the Corporation and any other corporation, partnership, association, or other organization in which one or more of its directors or officers are directors or officers, or have a financial interest, shall be void or voidable solely for this reason, or solely because the director or officer is present at or participates in the meeting of the board or committee thereof which authorizes the contract or transaction, or solely

B-8

because his or their votes are counted for such purpose if (a) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the Board of Directors or the committee, and the Board of Directors or the committee in good faith authorizes the contract or transaction by the affirmative votes of a majority of the disinterested directors, even though the disinterested directors be less than a quorum, or (b) the material facts as to his relationship or interest and as to the contract or transaction are disclosed or are known to the stockholders entitled to vote thereon, and the contract or transaction is specifically approved in good faith by vote of such stockholders, or (c) the contract or transaction is fair as to the Corporation as of the time it is authorized, approved or ratified by the Board of Directors, a committee thereof, or the stockholders entitled to vote thereon. Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the Board of Directors or of a Committee which authorizes the contract or transaction.

ARTICLE XII
COMPROMISE AND REORGANIZATION

Whenever a compromise or arrangement is proposed between this Corporation and its creditors or any class of them and/or between this Corporation and its stockholders or any class of them, any court of equitable jurisdiction within the State of Delaware may, on the application in a summary way of this Corporation or of any creditor or stockholder thereof or on the application of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 291 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code or on the application of trustees in dissolution or of any receiver or receivers appointed for this Corporation under the provisions of Section 279 of Title 8 of the Delaware Code order a meeting of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, to be summoned in such manner as the said court directs. If a majority in number representing three-fourths in value of the creditors or class of creditors, and/or of the stockholders or class of stockholders of this Corporation, as the case may be, agrees to any compromise or arrangement and to any reorganization of the Corporation as a consequence of such compromise or arrangement, the said compromise or arrangement and the said reorganization shall, if sanctioned by the court to which the said application has been made, be binding on all the creditors or class of creditors, and/or on all the stockholders or class of stockholders, of this Corporation, as the case may be, and also on this Corporation.

If the Company or any subsidiary terminates a Participant's employment other than for "cause", a Participant terminates his employment for "good reason" or a Participant becomes "permanently disabled" (in each case, as determined by the Committee in its sole discretion) or a Participant dies during a Performance Period, such Participant or his estate shall be awarded, unless his employment agreement provides otherwise, a pro rata portion of the amount of the Award for such Performance Period except that the Committee may, in its sole discretion, reduce the amount of such Award to reflect the Committee's assessment of such Participant's individual performance prior to the termination of such participant's employment, such Participant's becoming permanently disabled or such Participant's death, as the case may be, or for any other reason.

ARTICLE III

ADJUSTMENT OF AWARDS

In the event that, during a Performance Period, any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin-off, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets, or other similar corporate transaction or event, or any other extraordinary event, occurs, or any other event or circumstance occurs which has the effect, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, of distorting the applicable performance criteria involving the Company, including, without limitation, changes in accounting standards, the Committee may adjust or modify, as determined by the Committee in its sole and absolute discretion, the calculation of EBITDA, Operating Income, Free Cash Flow or Net Earnings or, the applicable Performance Targets, to the extent necessary to prevent reduction or enlargement of Participants' Awards under the Plan for such Performance Period attributable to such transaction, circumstance or event. Such adjustments shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes.

ARTICLE IV

MISCELLANEOUS

SECTION 4.1 No Rights to Awards or Continued Employment.

No employee shall have any claim or right to receive Awards under the Plan. Neither the Plan nor any action taken hereunder shall be construed as giving any employee any right to be retained by the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

SECTION 4.2 Restriction on Transfer.

The rights of a Participant with respect to Awards under the Plan shall not be transferable by the Participant to whom such Award is granted, otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

SECTION 4.3 Withholding.

The Company, or a subsidiary thereof, as appropriate shall have the right to deduct from all payments made under the Plan to a Participant or to a Participant's beneficiary or beneficiaries any federal, state or local taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments.

C-3

SECTION 4.4 No Restriction on Right of Company to Effect Changes.

The Plan shall not affect in any way the right or power of the Company or its stockholders to make or authorize any recapitalization, reorganization, merger, acquisition, divestiture, consolidation, spin-off, combination, liquidation, dissolution, sale of assets, or other similar corporate transaction or event involving the Company or a subsidiary thereof or any other event or series of events, whether of a similar character or otherwise.

SECTION 4.5 Source of Payments.

The Company shall not have any obligation to establish any separate fund or trust or other segregation of assets to provide for payments under the Plan. To the extent any person acquires any rights to receive payments hereunder from the Company, such rights shall be no greater than those of an unsecured creditor.

SECTION 4.6 Amendment and Termination.

The Board may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend or terminate the Plan in whole or in part. No termination or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Participant to whom an Award has been made, adversely affect the rights of such participant in such Award.

SECTION 4.7 Governmental Regulations.

The Plan, and all Awards hereunder, shall be subject to all applicable rules and regulations of governmental or other authorities.

SECTION 4.8 Headings.

The headings of sections and subsections herein are included solely for convenience of reference and shall not affect the meaning of any of the provisions of the Plan.

SECTION 4.9 Governing Law.

The Plan and all rights and Awards hereunder shall be construed in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of Delaware.

SECTION 4.10 Effective Date.

The Plan became effective as of January 1, 1994. The first amendment and restatement thereof became effective as of March 27, 1996. The second amendment and restatement became effective as of March 18, 1999. The third amendment and restatement thereof became effective as of May 25, 2000. The fourth amendment and restatement thereof became effective as of March 20, 2003; provided, however, that it shall be a condition to the effectiveness of the fourth amendment and restatement of the Plan, that the stockholders of the Company approve the fourth amendment and restatement of the Plan at the 2003 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Such approval shall meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations thereunder. If such approval is not obtained, then the fourth amendment and restatement of the Plan shall not be effective.
