Item 2.   Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

                 On December 5, 1997, KNOLOGY Holdings, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), consummated the acquisition of Beach Cable, Inc., 
a Florida corporation that owned and operated a cable television system in
Panama City Beach, Florida ("Beach Cable").  The acquisition was effected
pursuant to an Agreement and  Plan of Merger dated December 5, 1997 (the
"Merger Agreement") by and among the Company, KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc.,
Beach Cable and L. Charles Hilton, Jr., the sole stockholder of Beach Cable,
under which KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged (the "Merger") with and into
Beach Cable.  Beach Cable was the surviving corporation in the Merger, was
renamed KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc. as of the effective time of the Merger
(the "Effective Time") and became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.  A
copy of the press release announcing the Merger is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to
this Current Report on Form 8-K.

                 The Company acquired all of the assets and assumed all of the
liabilities of Beach Cable in the Merger. As a provider of cable television
services, Beach Cable's assets primarily consist of, among other things, cable
system plant, equipment, real property, inventory, accounts receivable and
other intangible assets, including franchise licenses. The Company intends to
use the Beach Cable assets to continue to provide cable television services in
Panama City Beach, Florida and to further expand the existing cable television
system into adjacent Panama City.  The Company plans to convert the cable
television system into a high-speed fiber-coaxial network that is two-way
interactive to provide additional broadband communications services such as
local and long distance telephone services and Internet services.

                 At the Effective Time, all of the issued and outstanding
shares of Common Stock, no par value, of Beach Cable were converted into 2,485
shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company ("KNOLOGY
Preferred Stock") valued at approximately $3.7 million and representing
approximately 5.0% of the KNOLOGY Preferred Stock outstanding (after giving
effect to the Merger).  Immediately following the Merger, the Company also
contributed cash of approximately $3.9 million to Beach Cable, from the
Company's working capital, to enable Beach Cable to repay an existing note and
related accrued interest to Hilton, Inc., a holding company owned by L. Charles
Hilton, Jr.

                 The Merger has been accounted for by the Company under the 
purchase method of accounting.

                 Immediately following the Effective Time, L. Charles Hilton, 
Jr. was designated for a one year term to the Company's Board of Directors
pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS





To the Board of Directors and Stockholder of
KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of KNOLOGY OF PANAMA CITY,
INC., a Florida corporation, as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the related
statements of operations, stockholder's equity, and cash flows for the years
then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.  Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc.
as of December 31, 1995 and 1996 and the results of its operations and its 
cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1.       ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF BUSINESS

         KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc. (formerly Beach Cable, Inc.) (the
         "Company") provides cable television services to the Panama City 
         Beach area. Prior to December 5, 1997, the Company was owned 100% by 
         one stockholder,  L. Charles Hilton, Jr.  There are 100 shares of
         common stock of the Company outstanding at December 31, 1995 and 
         1996.    

         The Company has experienced operating losses as a result of efforts to
         build out its broadband systems and expand into new markets.  The
         Company expects to continue to focus on increasing its customer base
         and expanding its broadband operations.  Accordingly, the Company
         expects that is operating expenses and capital expenditures will
         continue to increase significantly, all of which will have a negative
         impact on short-term operating results.  In addition, the Company may
         change its pricing policies to respond to a changing competitive
         environment.  In the opinion of management, the Company's projected
         cash flows from operations and existing credit position will be
         sufficient to meet the capital and operating needs of the Company
         through at least 1998.  However, there can be no assurance that growth
         in the Company's revenue or customer base will continue or that the
         Company will be able to achieve or sustain profitability and/or
         positive cash flow.

2.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

         ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES

         The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
         accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
         and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
         liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
         date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues
         and expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ
         from those estimates.

         PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT

         Property and equipment are stated at cost.  Depreciation is provided
         for using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of
         the assets,

         equipment disposed of are removed from the related accounts, and any
         gain or loss is included in income.  Depreciation and amortization are
         provided over the estimated useful lives as follows:

         Inventories are valued at the lower of cost or market (determined on a
         first-in, first-out basis) and include converter boxes and cable and
         electronic cable hook-up equipment.  These items are transferred to
         cable system and installation equipment when installed.

         ORGANIZATIONAL COSTS

         Organizational costs represent direct costs, primarily legal and
         salary costs, incurred in making the Company viable.  All indirect
         costs, such as travel and entertainment, and other general and
         administrative costs have been expensed as incurred.  The deferred
         costs are being amortized using the straight-line method over a
         five-year period from the date of inception.

         LONG-LIVED ASSETS

         In 1995, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
         Standards ("SFAS") No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of
         Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of."  SFAS
         No. 121 establishes accounting standards for the impairment of
         long-lived assets, certain identifiable intangibles, and cost in
         excess of net assets acquired related to those assets to be held and
         used and for long-lived assets and certain identifiable intangibles to
         be disposed of.  The effect of adopting SFAS No. 121 was not material.

         The Company periodically reviews the values assigned to long-lived
         assets such as inventory, property and equipment, and cost in excess
         of net assets acquired to determine whether any impairments are other
         than temporary.  Management believes that the long-lived assets in the
         accompanying balance sheets are appropriately valued.

         REVENUE RECOGNITION

         Subscriber revenues are recognized in the month of service.
         Subscriber fees billed in advance are included in the accompanying
         balance sheets as unearned revenue and are deferred until the month
         the service is provided.

         SOURCES OF SUPPLIES

         The Company attempts to maintain multiple vendors for each required
         product.  However, the Company currently has limited suppliers for
         cable and for converters and remotes, which represent important
         components of its system.  If the suppliers are unable

         to meet the Company's needs as it builds out its network
         infrastructure, then delays and increased costs in the expansion of
         the Company's network infrastructure could result, which would
         adversely affect operating results.

         CREDIT RISK

         The Company's accounts receivable potentially subject the Company to
         credit risk, as collateral is generally not required.  The Company's
         risk of loss is limited due to advance billings to customers for
         services and the ability to terminate access on delinquent accounts.
         The concentration of credit risk is mitigated by the large number of
         customers comprising the customer base.  The carrying amount of the
         Company's receivables approximates their fair values.

3.       NOTES PAYABLE

4.       COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

         In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to various
         litigation; however, in management's opinion, there are no legal
         proceedings pending against the Company which would have a material
         adverse effect on the financial position, results of operations, or
         liquidity of the Company.

5.       INCOME TAXES

         For federal income tax purposes, the Company is taxed as a subchapter
         S Corporation, under which its taxable income is allocated to Mr.
         Hilton, the stockholder of the Company, and included in his individual
         income tax return.

6.       RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS

         The notes payable at December 31, 1995 and 1996 include notes due to

                             NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


         Hilton Enterprises, Inc., owned by Mr. Hilton, provides accounting
         services for the Company.  During the years ended December 31, 1995
         and 1996, the Company recorded $12,000 and $15,000, respectively, in
         general and administrative expenses related to these services.  

         During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996, the Company
         recorded approximately $30,600 and $36,500, respectively, in general
         and administrative expenses which were paid for self-insurance
         liabilities to the Hilton Self-Insurance Fund, which is owned by Mr.
         Hilton.  

         The Company has many hotels as commercial customers.  Certain of these
         hotels are owned by Mr. Hilton.  These hotels comprised approximately
         5% and 4% of revenues for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1996,
         respectively.

  7.     SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

         On December 5, 1997, Beach Cable, Inc. was acquired by KNOLOGY
         Holdings, Inc. pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger ("Merger
         Agreement") among Beach Cable, Inc., L. Charles Hilton, Jr., KNOLOGY
         Holdings, Inc., and a wholly-owned subsidiary of KNOLOGY Holdings,
         Inc. for 2,485 shares of preferred stock of KNOLOGY Holdings, Inc.
         valued at approximately $3.7 million, subject to adjustment.
         Immediately following the Merger, KNOLOGY Holdings, Inc. also
         contributed cash of approximately $3.9 million to enable
         Beach Cable, Inc. to repay an existing note and related accrued
         interest to Hilton, Inc. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Beach
         Cable, Inc., the surviving corporation in the merger, became a
         wholly-owned subsidiary of KNOLOGY Holdings, Inc. and subsequently
         changed its name to KNOLOGY of Panama City, Inc.
