Item 1. Changes In Control of Registrant.

       (a)  Comcast Cable Communications, Inc., a Delaware corporation
       ("Comcast Cable"), is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Comcast
       Corporation, a Pennsylvania corporation ("Comcast").  As of
       September 30, 1997, Sural Corporation, a Delaware corporation
       ("Sural"), owned 1,845,037 shares of Comcast Class A Common Stock
       and 8,786,250 shares of Comcast Class B Common Stock, constituting
       approximately 82% of the voting power of the two classes of
       Comcast's voting Common Stock combined.  On October 24, 1997, Ralph
       J. Roberts, the Chairman of the Board of Comcast, gifted shares of
       Class A Common Stock of Sural to his son, Brian L. Roberts, the
       President and a director of Comcast.  As a result of the gift, Brian
       L. Roberts has sole voting power over stock representing a majority
       of voting power of all Sural stock, and therefore, effectively
       controls Comcast and its subsidiaries, including Comcast Cable,
       Comcast Cellular Holdings, Inc. and Comcast UK Cable Partners
       Limited, which are also subject to the reporting requirements of the
       Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

       (b) Not applicable.


                                 SIGNATURE

       Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934,
the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by
the undersigned, hereunto duly authorized.
