   relates:  


                  Part I.  Registrant Information

   Full name of registrant:  IDB COMMUNICATIONS GROUP, INC.
   Address of  principal executive office: 10525  West Washington
   Boulevard
   City, State and Zip Code:  Culver City, California  90232-1922


                 Part II.  Rule 12b-25 (b) and (c)

        If   the  subject  report  could  not  be  filed  without
   unreasonable effort or expense and the registrant seeks relief
   pursuant to Rule 12b-25(b), the following should be completed.
   (Check appropriate box.)

[ ] (a)The reasons  described in reasonable detail in Part III of
   this  form could not be eliminated without unreasonable effort
   or expense;

   [X](b) The   subject  annual   report,   semi-annual   report,
   transition report on  Form 10-K, 20-F, 11-K or  Form N-SAR, or
   portion thereof will be filled  on or before the 15th calendar

                                 1














   


   day   following  the  prescribed  due  date;  or  the  subject
   quarterly report or transition report on Form 10-Q, or portion
   thereof  will be  filed on  or before  the fifth  calendar day
   following the prescribed due date; and

   [  ](c)The accountant's statement or other exhibit required by
   Rule 12b-25(c) has been attached if applicable.

                        Part III.  Narrative

        State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Form 10-
   K, 11-K,  20-F, 10-Q, N-SAR  or the transition  report portion
   thereof could not be filed within the  prescribed time period.
   (Attach extra sheets if needed.)

        Registrant was  unable to  file the  subject report  in a
   timely  manner  because  it is dealing with the effects of issues
   raised in connection with its filing on Form 10-Q for the quarter 
   ended March 31, 1994 and additional accounting policies and procedures
   which may affect the subject report.  Registrant recently engaged
   Arthur Andersen & Co. to assist in this process.  Registrant, with 
   the assistance of Arthur Andersen & Co., is working diligently to 
   finalize the financial books and records as of June 30, 1994 in 
   preparation for filing the subject report.

        (3)Is  it  anticipated  that any  significant  change  in
   results  of operations from  the corresponding period  for the
   last fiscal year will be reflected  by the earnings statements
   to be included in the subject report or portion thereof?

   Part IV.  Item 3.

        Registrant  anticipates a loss  in the second  quarter of
   1994 due,  in part,  to an accounting  change relating  to the
   accrual  of  revenue  associated  with  inbound  international
   traffic.   Registrant is  unable to estimate  the quantitative
   impact of  the accounting change  because Registrant's results
   of operations for the second quarter are not yet finalized.
