Item 2.

         Acquisition of Assets

         On April 11, 1996, Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. ("JCH"), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Jones Intercable, Inc.  ("Intercable"), acquired the following
cable television systems from limited partnerships managed by Intercable:  (i)
the cable television system operating in and around Lodi, Ohio (the "Lodi
System") for a purchase price of $25,706,000, subject to normal closing
adjustments; (ii) the cable television system operating in and around Ripon,
Wisconsin (the "Ripon System") for a purchase price of $3,712,667, subject to
normal closing adjustments; and (iii) the cable television system operating in
and around Lake Geneva, Wisconsin (the "Lake Geneva System") for a purchase
price of $6,345,667, subject to normal closing adjustments.  The purchase
prices were determined by averaging three separate independent appraisals of
each of the cable television systems acquired.

         Exchange of Assets

         On April 12, 1996, JCH conveyed the Lodi System, the Ripon System and
the Lake Geneva System, together with the cable television systems operating in
and around Hilo, Hawaii (the "Hilo System") and Kenosha, Wisconsin (the
"Kenosha System") (both of which have been owned by Intercable and were
recently transferred to JCH), plus cash in the amount of $11,735,666 to Time
Warner Entertainment Company, L.P. ("Time Warner"), an unaffiliated cable
television operator.  In exchange, Time Warner conveyed to JCH the cable
television systems operating in and around Savannah, Georgia (the "Savannah
System").  Taking into account the aggregate purchase price paid by JCH for the
Lodi System, the Lake Geneva System and the Ripon System, Intercable's
estimated valuation of the Hilo System and the Kenosha System, and the
$11,735,666 cash consideration paid by JCH to Time Warner, the aggregate
consideration paid by Intercable to Time Warner for the Savannah System was
approximately $119,195,000, subject to normal closing adjustments.  The
Savannah System passes approximately 100,000 homes and serves approximately
63,000 subscribers.

         Jones Financial Group, Ltd. ("Financial Group"), an affiliate of
Intercable, was paid a fee of $1,286,332 in connection with these transactions.
The fee paid to Financial Group was based upon 90% of the estimated commercial
rate charged by unaffiliated brokers.

Manitowoc System

         Although it previously was announced that JCH intended to acquire from
Cable TV Joint Fund 11, a general partnership comprised of four limited
partnerships managed by Intercable, the cable television system serving the
City of Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System") and then transfer the
Manitowoc System to Time Warner as part of the above-described exchange, JCH
and Time Warner agreed to exclude the Manitowoc System from that exchange.  JCH
is still obligated to purchase the Manitowoc System, subject to a number of
closing conditions that have not yet been satisfied, including the approval of
the transaction by the holders of a majority of the limited partnership
interests of each of the four constituent partnerships of Cable TV Joint Fund
11 and the approval of the City of Manitowoc to the transfer of the Manitowoc
System's franchise.  Intercable intends to conduct the votes of the limited
partners of the four constituent partnerships of Cable TV Joint Fund 11 only
after the City of Manitowoc consents to the transfer of the franchise.
Although Intercable is engaged in ongoing negotiations with the City of
Manitowoc with respect to the renewal and transfer of the Manitowoc franchise,
there can be no assurance that the City of Manitowoc will consent to the
transfer of the franchise to JCH.  If all conditions precedent to JCH's
obligation to close are not eventually satisfied or waived, JCH's obligation to
purchase the Manitowoc System will terminate on September 30, 1996.

RE:      ASSET EXCHANGE AGREEMENT DATED SEPTEMBER 1, 1995 (AS AMENDED FROM TIME
         TO TIME, THE "EXCHANGE AGREEMENT") BETWEEN JONES INTERCABLE, INC., AS
         ASSIGNED TO JONES CABLE HOLDINGS, INC. ("JCH"), AND TIME WARNER
         ENTERTAINMENT COMPANY, L.P. "TWE")

Dear Bob:

         This letter shall amend the terms and conditions of the Exchange
Agreement to the extent set forth below.  Unless otherwise defined herein,
capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in the Exchange
Agreement.

         Notwithstanding any term or condition to the contrary contained in the
Exchange Agreement, JCH and TWE agree as follows:

         1.  The Jones Systems shall not include the cable television
             system serving Manitowoc, Wisconsin (the "Manitowoc System"), 
             and all references to the Manitowoc System are hereby deleted 
             from the Exchange Agreement and the exhibits and schedules 
             thereto.

         2.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Section 1.4.1 
             of the Exchange Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the 
             reference to "Manitowoc $19.86" and Section 2.8.4 is hereby 
             amended by deleting part (ii)(A) in its entirety and deleting

             entirety and replaced with the following:

                      2.5     Cash Purchase Price.  Jones will pay to TWE,
             by wire transfer of immediately available funds, to such
             account or accounts as are designated in writing by TWE to
             Jones, the sum of $11,735,666 (the "Cash Purchase Price"),
             reflecting the agreed-upon difference in fair market value

         4.  Section 6.1.9 of the Exchange Agreement is hereby deleted in
             its entirety and replaced with the following:

         This letter may be executed in multiple counterparts all of which
together shall be deemed one and the same instrument.
