             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS 


(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

     This Form 10-Q is being filed by Jones International Networks, Ltd. and 
its subsidiaries (the "Company").  The accompanying consolidated statements 
of financial position as of December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999, the 
consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 and 1999, and the statements of cash flows for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 and 1999, are unaudited.  This Form 10-Q is being filed in 
conformity with the SEC requirements for unaudited financial statements and 
does not contain all of the necessary footnote disclosures required for a 
complete presentation of the consolidated statements of financial position, 
consolidated statements of operations and consolidated statements of cash 
flows in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.   However, 
in the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments, 
consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary for the fair 
presentation of results for these interim periods. The results of operations 
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of 
results to be expected for the entire year, or for any other interim period. 

     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME--Adjustments to comprehensive income represent the 
net change in unrealized gains on available for sale securities.

     USE OF ESTIMATES--The preparation of financial statements in conformity 
with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues and 
expenses during the reporting period.  Actual results could differ from those 
estimates.

     RECLASSIFICATIONS--Cable programming distribution agreements (previously 
described as subscriber incentive payments) are amortized using the 
straight-line method over the term of the affiliate agreement.
                                                                            
(2) TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATED ENTITIES 

     The Company is a subsidiary of Jones International, Ltd. ("Jones 
International"), a holding company with ownership interests in several 
companies involved in various aspects of the telecommunications industry. 
Jones International is wholly owned by Glenn R. Jones, Chairman and Chief 
Executive Officer of Jones International and various other subsidiaries of 
Jones International. Certain members of management of the Company are also 
officers or directors of these affiliated entities and, from time to time, 
the Company may have transactions with these entities. Certain expenses are 
paid by affiliated entities on behalf of the Company and are allocated at 
cost based on specific identification or other methods which management 
believes are reasonable. Principal recurring transactions with affiliates, 
excluding Galactic/Tempo, d/b/a Superaudio ("Superaudio"),  are described 
below.

     TELEVISION PROGRAMMING REVENUES--The Company earns up to a three percent 
commission on the sale of airtime for informational programming on Knowledge 
TV, Inc. ("KTV").  For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, KTV 
paid total commissions to the Company of approximately $52,000 and $45,000, 
respectively, for this service.

     The Company distributes Great American Country to certain cable 
television systems owned or managed by Jones Intercable, Inc. ("Jones 
Intercable"). For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, Jones 
Intercable and its affiliated partnerships paid total license fees to the 
Company of approximately $235,000 and $237,000, respectively, for this 
service.

     SATELLITE DELIVERY AND PRODUCTION SUPPORT REVENUES--Jones Earth Segment, 
Inc. ("Earth Segment"), a subsidiary of the Company, provides playback, 
editing, duplication and uplinking services primarily to its cable 
programming network affiliates. Earth Segment charges affiliates for its 
services using rates which are calculated to achieve a specified rate of 
return on investment to Earth Segment.  For the three months ended March 31, 
1998 and 1999, Jones International and its affiliates paid satellite delivery 
and production supports charges to the Company of approximately $922,000 and 
$911,000, respectively, for these services.

distribute its audio programming. Satellite Holdings has the right to

Galactic Radio. The Company agreed to pay Satellite Holdings approximately 
$58,000 per month. This agreement will expire May 2004.  For each of the

1998 and 1999.  For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999, the 
Company paid Jones International interest of approximately $266,000 and

         NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - (CONTINUED)

(3) LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

          Basic loss per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the 
weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the respective 
period.  Diluted loss per common share is equal to basic loss per common 
share as all potentially dilutive securities are anti-dilutive.

(4) UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATING FINANCIAL INFORMATION FOR SUBSIDIARY 
GUARANTORS

          In 1998, the Company issued $100 million of Senior Secured Notes 
(the "Notes"). The Notes are senior obligations of the Company.  The Notes 
rank pari passu in right of payment with all existing and future senior 
indebtedness of the Company and rank senior to all existing and future 
subordinated obligations of the Company.  The Notes are secured by the 
capital stock of the Company's subsidiary, JPN, Inc., and its direct 
subsidiaries.  The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly 
and severally, on a senior unsecured basis by the following wholly-owned 
subsidiaries of the Company: JPN, Inc., Space Holdings, Earth Segment, Jones 
Infomercial Networks, Inc., Jones Radio Holdings, Inc., Great American 
Country, Inc., Galactic Radio, Jones Infomercial Network Ventures, Inc., 
Jones Galactic Radio Partners, Inc., Jones Radio Network, Inc., Jones Audio 
Services, Inc., Jones Radio Network Ventures, Inc., MediaAmerica, Inc. and 
Jones MAI Radio, Inc., and Jones/Owens Radio Programming LLC, ("JORP") 
(collectively, the "Subsidiary Guarantors").  The only existing subsidiaries 
of the Company that did not guarantee the Notes are the following three 
entities: the PIN Venture, a general partnership in which the Company, 
through a Subsidiary Guarantor, owns a 55.3% interest; Superaudio, a general 
partnership in which the Company, through a Subsidiary Guarantor, owns a 50% 
interest and Jones/Capstar Venture Radio Programming LLC, a limited liability 
company in which the Company, through a Subsidiary Guarantor, owns a 50% 
interest (collectively, the "Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries").  The Company has 
not presented separate financial statements and other disclosures concerning 
the Subsidiary Guarantors that are wholly owned because management has 
determined that such information is not material to investors.  In lieu 
thereof, the Company is providing, under Section 13 and 15 (d) of the 
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, presentation of the following supplemental 
unaudited condensed consolidating financial statements.  Presented below is 
unaudited condensed consolidating financial information for the Company and 
its subsidiaries as of and for the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 1999.

(5) CONTINGENCIES

          GAC EQUITY AGREEMENT--In the first quarter of 1998, Great American 
Country and the Company entered into an equity affiliate agreement with a 
multiple cable system operator ("MSO").  Pursuant to the terms of such 
agreement, the Company agreed to issue shares of Class A Common Stock to this 
MSO in return for this MSO delivering Great American Country's programming to 
no less than 550,000 subscribers by May 31, 1998 and an additional 150,000 
subscribers by December 31, 1999.  The total number of shares of Class A 
Common Stock to be issued is based on the number of subscribers provided by 
the MSO.  Based on the number of subscribers receiving Great American 
Country's programming as of March 31, 1999, the Company is currently required 
to issue a total of 106,603 shares of Class A Common Stock.   As of March 31, 
1999, 101,124 shares of Class A Common Stock had been issued to this MSO.

(6) REPORTABLE SEGMENTS

          The Company has four reportable segments: radio programming and 
representation, television programming, satellite delivery and production 
support, and corporate.  The radio programming and representation segment 
produces programming that it distributes to radio stations and sells 
advertising on nationally syndicated radio programs.  The television 
programming segment provides cable television programming to cable television 
system operators and other video distributors.  The satellite delivery and 
production support segment provides satellite delivery, uplinking, 
trafficking, playback and other services to affiliates and third parties.  
The corporate segment includes personnel and associated costs for the 
Company's executive and management staff, operational support and other items 
such as accounting and financial reporting and debt offering costs.

          The Company evaluates performance based on profit or loss from 
operations before income taxes not including nonrecurring gains and losses.  
The Company's reportable segments are strategic business units that offer 
different services and products.  They are managed separately because each 
business requires different technology and marketing strategies.  Reportable 
segments are presented as follows in accordance with the requirements of SFAS 
131, "Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information":

(7) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

          As a result of the transfer of a controlling interest in Jones 
Intercable from Jones International and its affiliates to Comcast Corporation 
in April 1999, Jones Intercable will no longer share in many of the 
administrative and related expenses which have historically been shared by 
the various entities affiliated with Mr. Jones, including the Company.  
Because Jones Intercable was the largest of such sharing entities, its 
exclusion from the allocation process may cause the Company to incur material 
increases in certain overhead and related costs, including rent, computer 
services, insurance, and personnel costs for accounting, legal, risk 
management and human resources services.
                                          
          In April 1999, the Company entered into an agreement with a third 
party, subject to certain conditions, to lease a digital channel on one 
satellite transponder as well as provide uplinking and playback services 
beginning June 15, 1999.  The term of this lease will continue through the 
end of the life of the satellite, which is currently estimated to be May 1, 
2005.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 
1999

          TOTAL REVENUES--Total revenues increased $5.9 million, or 90%, from 
$6.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $12.5 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999.  This increase was due to strong 
growth in all of the Company's operations as well as the acquisition of 
MediaAmerica, Inc. ("MediaAmerica").  On July 10, 1998, the Company acquired 
substantially all the assets and assumed certain of the liabilities of 
MediaAmerica.  MediaAmerica provides advertising sales representation 
services and also owns syndicated radio programming.  As a result of the 
acquisition, the Company generated $1.6 million in radio advertising 
representation revenues for the three months ended March 31, 1999.   The 
increase in television programming revenues was due to an increase in the 
number of subscribers receiving both Great American Country and Product 
Information Network.  The increase in satellite delivery and production 
support revenue was due to new agreements that the Company entered into in 
the second half of 1998.

            RADIO PROGRAMMING REVENUES-- Radio programming revenues increased 
$1.4 million, or 87%, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 to $3.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, due primarily 
to an increase in radio advertising revenue.  Sales of network radio 
advertising for the first three months of 1998 were adversely affected by the 
January 1998 entry of a significant competitor into the market, which added 
approximately 20% more network radio advertising inventory into the 
marketplace, thereby increasing competition for network radio advertising 
dollars.  During late 1998, the Company began to experience improved 
advertising rates and sellout conditions and these trends have continued into 
early 1999.  






                                       16

The upfront advertising market has been strong with approximately 43% more in 
gross network radio advertising booked as of late April 1999, as compared to 
the amount booked in the comparable period in the prior year.  Gross network 
radio advertising includes advertising bookings for both the Company's owned 
radio programming as well as its advertising representation customers.  Only 
a portion of the gross advertising revenues generated from the Company's 
advertising representation customers is recognized by the Company as 
advertising representation revenues.  Although the first quarter is 
traditionally weak, the Company believes the effect of the new significant 
competitor into network radio in early 1998 has been absorbed in the radio 
advertising market and believes the radio segment's financial results will 
continue to improve.  Additionally, the Company continues to concentrate on 
its development of personality driven talk and other programs, which the 
Company believes will appeal to both advertisers and listeners of the 
Company's radio programs and over the long-term, contribute to improved 
financial results.

          RADIO REPRESENTATION REVENUES--As a result of the acquisition of 
MediaAmerica, the Company generated radio representation revenue of $1.6 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

          TELEVISION PROGRAMMING REVENUES--Television programming revenues 
increased $2.0 million, or 51%, from $3.8 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 to $5.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, due 
primarily to: (i) an increase of $1.4 million in Product Information Network 
advertising revenues and an increase of $0.5 million in Great American 
Country advertising revenues due to higher advertising rates being charged 
for airtime as a result of an increase in the number of subscribers receiving 
the Product Information Network and the Great American Country and (ii) an 
increase of $0.1 million in Great American Country affiliate fees due to an 
increase in the number of subscribers paying affiliate fees.

          SATELLITE DELIVERY AND PRODUCTION SUPPORT REVENUES--Satellite 
delivery and production support revenues increased $1.0 million, or 88%, from 
$1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.2 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999 due to (i) three new third party 
agreements that the Company entered into in the second half of 1998 to 
provide satellite transponder and related services resulting in $0.9 million 
in revenues and (ii) and an increase in $0.1 million in satellite delivery 
and production support fees charged to related parties.

          TOTAL OPERATING EXPENSES--Total operating expenses increased $5.0 
million, or 60%, from $8.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 
to $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999. As a percentage 
of total revenues, total operating expenses decreased from 126% for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 to 106% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

          RADIO PROGRAMMING EXPENSES--Radio programming expenses increased 
$0.9 million, or 56%, from $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 
1998 to $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 due primarily 
to an increase in the number of syndicated radio programs offered by the 
Company as a result of the acquisition of MediaAmerica.  As a percentage of 
radio programming revenues, radio programming expenses decreased from 101% 
for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 84% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1999.

          RADIO ADVERTISING REPRESENTATION EXPENSES--As the result of the 
acquisition of MediaAmerica, the Company generated radio representation 
expenses of $0.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  These 
expenses represent 60% of radio advertising representation revenues for the 
three months ended March 31,1999.

          TELEVISION PROGRAMMING EXPENSES--Television programming expenses 
increased $1.5 million, or 44%, from $3.5 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 to $5.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, due 
primarily to an increase in the amounts paid to cable systems receiving the 
Product Information Network. For the three months ended March 31, 1998 and 
1999, the PIN Venture made rebates of approximately 75% and 82%, 
respectively, of its advertising revenues to these systems.  As a percentage 
of television programming revenues, television programming expenses decreased 
from 91% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 87% for the three 
months ended March 31, 1999.

          SATELLITE DELIVERY AND PRODUCTION SUPPORT EXPENSES--Satellite 
delivery and production support expenses increased $0.1 million, or 9%, from 
$1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $1.3 million for 
the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The increase is due primarily to 
additional third party and affiliate usage of the Company's uplinking and 
playback services.  As a percentage of satellite delivery and production 
support revenues, satellite delivery and production support expenses 
decreased from 104% for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to 61% for the 
three months ended 

                                       17

March 31, 1999.

          SELLING AND MARKETING EXPENSES--Selling and marketing expenses 
increased $0.6 million, or 71%, from $0.8 million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 to $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 due 
to (i) an increase of $0.5 million in selling and marketing expenses from the 
acquisition of MediaAmerica and (ii) an increase of $0.1 million in marketing 
expenses due to the increased marketing efforts undertaken to increase the 
distribution of Great American Country.  As a percentage of total revenues, 
selling and marketing expenses decreased from 12% for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998 to 11% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

          GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES--General and administrative 
expenses increased $0.9 million, or 78%, from $1.2 million for the three 
months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.1 million for the three months ended March 
31, 1999.  The increase is due to (i) an increase of $0.5 million in 
amortization expenses related to the amortization of Great American Country 
cable programming distribution agreements and goodwill from the acquisition 
of MediaAmerica and (ii) an increase of $0.4 million due to the acquisition 
of MediaAmerica.  As a percentage of total revenues, general and 
administrative expenses decreased from 18% for the three months ended March 
31, 1998 to 17% for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

          TOTAL OTHER EXPENSE--Total other expense increased $1.6 million, or 
129%, from $1.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 1998 to $2.9 
million for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  This increase is due 
primarily to (i) an increase of $3.0 million in interest expense related to 
the offering by the Company of $100 million of 113/4% Senior Secured Notes in 
July 1998 (the "Notes") and an increase of $0.2 million related to the 
amortization of deferred debt offering costs.  This increase was partially 
offset by a decrease of $1.4 million in interest expense from the prepayment 
of capital leases and other debt and an increase of $0.2 million in interest 
income from cash and cash equivalents and available for sale securities.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES 

          The Company's ability to successfully implement its growth 
strategies is subject to the availability of cash generated from operations 
and equity and/or debt financing.  The Company had cash, cash equivalents, 
and available for sale securities of $19.1 million as of March 31, 1999, 
including $4.7 million of cash escrowed in a reserve account to be used 
solely for payment of interest on the Notes and acquisitions.  There can be 
no assurance that the Company will have sufficient cash flow from operations 
after debt service to support its growth strategies.  In addition, there can 
be no assurance that the capital resources necessary to accomplish the 
Company's growth strategies over the long term will be available, or if 
available, will be on terms and conditions acceptable to the Company.

          Since its inception, the Company has incurred net losses primarily 
as a result of expenses associated with developing and launching its 
programming networks.  For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Company 
incurred a net loss of ($3.7) million.  Net cash used in operating activities 
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 was ($2.5) million compared with 
net cash used in operations of ($8.4) million for the three months ended 
March 31, 1998.  Net cash used in operating activities for the three months 
ended March 31, 1998 included the net repayment of $6.4 million of advances 
from Jones International. For the three months ended March 31, 1999, the 
Company did not have any financing activities.

          The Company's investing activities in the first quarter of 1999 
totaled $2.3 million and consisted primarily of $1.5 million of cable 
programming distribution agreements payments for Great American Country and 
$0.3 million of capital expenditures.  Total capital expenditures for the 
balance of 1999 are estimated to be $1.3 million, which will be used 
primarily to purchase equipment to further digitally compress the Satcom C-3 
satellite transponder, upgrades of certain radio programming studios and to 
purchase satellite receivers.  Total cable programming affiliate payments for 
Great American Country for the balance of 1999 are estimated to be $4.0 
million to $4.5 million.

          The Company has received advances and loans from Jones 
International and related companies to fund its operating and investing 
activities in the past. Outstanding advances from Jones International and 
related parties at March 31, 1999 were approximately $0.3 million. In the 
first quarter of 1999, Jones International elected to pay the income tax 
benefit receivable of approximately $1.3 million through a reduction of the 
intercompany balance between the Company and Jones International.  The 
remaining intercompany balance of approximately $0.3 million was repaid in 
April 1999.  Jones International and such related companies are under no 
obligation to provide additional advances or loans to the Company.

                                       18

           The Company depends, and will continue to depend, significantly 
upon the earnings and cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from, 
its subsidiaries to pay its expenses, meet its obligations and pay interest 
and principal on the Notes and its other indebtedness.  While the terms of 
the Company's joint ventures (including the PIN Venture) generally require 
the mutual consent of the Company and its joint venture partners to 
distribute or advance funds to the Company, there are no significant 
contractual restrictions on distributions from each of the Subsidiary 
Guarantors (as defined in the Indenture) to the Company. Management believes 
that the remaining proceeds from the Notes and operating cash flow, including 
the cash flows of, and dividends and distributions from its subsidiaries, 
will be sufficient to fund the Company's cash flow requirements at least 
through 1999.  The Company deposited $10.0 million of the proceeds of the 
offering of the Notes in a reserve account, from which approximately $5.6 
million was used to pay interest on the Notes in January 1999.  The Company 
intends to use the remaining proceeds in the reserve account for either the 
payment of interest on the Notes or for acquisitions, as allowed under the 
terms of the Indenture.

          As a result of the transfer of a controlling interest in Jones 
Intercable from Jones International and its affiliates to Comcast Corporation 
in April 1999, Jones Intercable will no longer share in many of the 
administrative and related expenses which have historically been shared by 
the various entities affiliated with Mr. Jones, including the Company.  
Because Jones Intercable was the largest of such sharing entities, its 
exclusion from the allocation process may cause the Company to incur material 
increases subsequent to the closing of the accelerated exercise of the option 
in certain overhead and related costs, including rent, computer services, 
insurance, and personnel costs for accounting, legal, risk management and 
human resources services.

IMPACT OF THE YEAR 2000 ISSUE 

          The Year 2000 issue is the result of many computer programs being 
written such that they will malfunction when reading a year of "00."  This 
problem could cause system failure or miscalculations causing disruptions of 
business processes.

          The Company initiated an assessment of how the Year 2000 problem 
could affect its operations in the summer of 1997 and, in conjunction with 
related parties, established a Year 2000 Program Office (the "Y2K Office") to 
manage the process. The Y2K Office meets periodically with the Company's 
management to inform them of its assessment activities, the Year 2000 
priorities it has identified, remediation recommendations and testing and 
compliance issues.  In addition, the Y2K Office organized and meets regularly 
with a review committee comprised of representatives from various departments 
within the Company to ensure that management from the affected areas 
participate in the decision process.

          The Y2K Office is currently implementing the steps needed to 
address the Year 2000 problem based upon its set priorities and is testing 
the implemented solutions.  The Y2K Office's schedule for implementing and 
testing its Year 2000 solutions for systems that have been determined to be 
first priority for the Company is as follows:

          In 1999, the Y2K Office will also focus on Year 2000 compliance 
issues with respect to other systems, such as desktop hardware and software, 
data archiving systems, traffic and billing reconciliation applications and 
other record management systems.  The Company has not used, and does not plan 
to employ, unaffiliated third party verification and validation processes to 
assure the reliability of its risk and cost estimates.  The Company has not 
deferred any other significant information technology projects due to Year 
2000 efforts.
             
          The Y2K Office commenced contacting vendors of application and 
operation system software in 1997 and continues to work with vendors through 
industry groups focused on Year 2000 issues.  The Company has not yet 
determined the extent to which it is vulnerable to the failure by vendors and 
customers that have a material relationship with the Company to remediate 
Year 2000 compliance issues.  Management believes, but makes no assurance, 
that the Company does not supply to third parties systems or equipment that 
may cause a Year 2000 problem.
             
          The Company has not incurred any material Year 2000 costs to date. 
Management does not have an estimate for future Year 2000 project costs will 
not have a material adverse effect on its financial condition and results of 
operations.
             
          The Company has not yet formulated contingency plans in the event 
that systems are not Year 2000 compliant.  The Company recognizes the need 
for contingency plans and plans to develop them by the second quarter of 
1999. There can be no assurance that the Company's systems will be Year 2000 
compliant in time.  The Year 2000 issue poses many risks for the Company and 
could materially adversely affect its financial condition and results of 
operations.

        ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial 
position, results of operations, or cash flows of the Company due to adverse 
changes in financial market prices.  The Company is exposed to market risk 
through interest rates.  This exposure is directly related to its normal 
funding and investing activities.

Approximately $0.3 million of the Company's current liabilities is subject to 
changes in interest rates; however, the Company does not use derivatives to 
manage this risk.  This exposure is linked primarily to the prime rate.  The 
Company believes that a moderate change in the prime rate would not 
materially affect operating results of financial condition of the Company.

                ITEM 5.     OTHER MATERIALLY IMPORTANT EVENTS

Gregory J. Liptak, formerly President/Director of the Company, resigned all 
of his positions within the Company on April 30, 1999.  Glenn R. Jones will 
assume his responsibilities as President of the Company.
