Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

         On November 8, 1996, the Company acquired the exclusive DIRECTV
distribution rights for certain rural portions of Ohio and related assets (the
"Assets") from Horizon Infotech, Inc. ("Seller") for a purchase price of
approximately $12.0 million in cash. The purchase price is subject to
adjustment, as set forth in the acquisition agreement.

         The Assets consist of properties, rights and other assets used in the
DIRECTV distribution business in 11 counties in Southern Ohio, which include
approximately 167,558 television households, and as of November 8, 1996,
approximately 4,936 DIRECTV subscribers. The rights acquired by the Company were
granted to the Seller by the National Rural Telecommunications Cooperative,
through a distribution agreement, pursuant to which the Seller obtained the
exclusive right to distribute DIRECTV programming offered by DIRECTV, Inc. in
the 11 Southern Ohio counties.

         The acquisition was financed through net proceeds received by the
Company in the initial public offering of its Class A Common Stock, which was
consummated on October 8, 1996.
