ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.

         Also on January 20, 1995, Tele-Communications of Northwest Arkansas
Limited Partnership ("TCNA LP") entered into an asset purchase agreement (as
amended, the "Fayetteville Agreement") with Time Warner Entertainment Company,
L.P. ("Time Warner"), through its division Time Warner Cable Ventures pursuant
to which TCNA LP would acquire the assets of, and assume certain liabilities
related to, the operation of cable television systems (the "Fayetteville
System") in and around the following cities in Arkansas: Fayetteville, Elkins,
Farmington, Greenland, and unincorporated areas of Washington County (the
"Fayetteville Transaction").

         TCA Cable TV, Inc. (the "Company") indirectly through various
subsidiaries (i) is an 80% limited partner of TCNA LP and (ii) (A) owns a 49%
limited partnership interest in the 20% general partner of TCNA LP and (B) owns
49% of the 51% general partner of the 20% general partner of TCNA LP.

         The Fayetteville Transaction was consummated on May 9, 1995.

         The assets acquired in the Fayetteville Transaction included, with
certain exceptions as set forth in the Fayetteville Agreement, all of the
assets and properties, real and personal, tangible and intangible, used by Time
Warner in its operation of the Fayetteville System.  TCNA LP intends to
continue to use such assets to provide cable television services to the
subscribers in the Fayetteville System.  As part of the Fayetteville
Transaction, Time Warner entered into a noncompetition agreement, pursuant to
which Time Warner agreed, with certain specified exceptions, not to own or
provide service to any cable system or other entity engaged in the use of a
competing technology, broadcast television or newspaper publishing that
provides services to customers within 50 miles of the location of the headend
of the Fayetteville System.

         The aggregate consideration paid in the Fayetteville Transaction was
approximately $39,225,000, subject to certain post closing adjustments as set
forth in the Fayetteville Agreement.  The acquisition consideration for the
Fayetteville Transaction were determined by negotiations between the parties to
the agreement.

         To the best knowledge of the Company, there is no material
relationship between Time Warner and the Company, or any of its affiliates, any
director or officer of the Company, or any associate of such director or
officer.

         The primary sources of funds used in the Fayetteville Transaction were
unsecured loans extended by NationsBank of Texas, N.A. and Texas Commerce Bank,
N.A. to the Company and subsequent loans and capital contributions from
subsidiaries of the Company to TCNA LP.

Attn:    Mr. Robert McMillian
         Mr. Fred Nichols

         RE:  ASSET PURCHASE AGREEMENT DATED JANUARY 20, 1995 (AS
              AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, THE "AGREEMENT") BETWEEN
              TELE-COMMUNICATIONS OF NORTHWEST ARKANSAS LIMITED
              PARTNERSHIP ("TCNA") AND TIME WARNER ENTERTAINMENT
              COMPANY, L.P., THROUGH ITS DIVISION TIME WARNER CABLE
              VENTURES ("TWE")

Dear Messrs. McMillian and Nichols:

         TCNA and TWE entered into the Agreement with the understanding that
the transactions contemplated by the Agreement (the "Fayetteville Transaction")
and the Russellville Transaction be consummated simultaneously and not
independently. Notwithstanding the foregoing, TCNA desires to consummate the
Fayetteville Transaction subsequent to consummation of the Russellville
Transaction.

         To induce TWE into consummating the Fayetteville Transaction
subsequent to the Russellville Transaction, TCNA hereby warrants to TWE and to
Tele-Communications of Arkansas Limited Partnership that TCNA shall consummate
the Fayetteville Transaction upon receipt by TWE of FCC approval of the
transfer of Cable Television Relay Service Station License WLY-234 to TCNA (the
"CARS License Transfer Date").

         In reliance upon such warranties of TCNA, and in consideration of the
mutual covenants stated in this letter, TWE has agreed to execute this letter
and consummate the Fayetteville Transaction subsequent to consummation of the
Russellville Transaction. Accordingly, this letter shall amend the terms and
conditions of the Agreement to the extent set forth below. Unless otherwise
defined herein, capitalized terms shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the Agreement.

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

         (1)     The letter agreement dated March 20, 1995 between TWE and TCNA
                 is hereby terminated effective as of March 20, 1995, and
                 neither party shall have any rights or obligations thereunder.

         (2)     Section 2.1(a) of the Agreement shall be amended by deleting
                 the phrases "antennae," and "earth satellite receive stations
                 and related equipment,".

         (3)     Section 2.1(d) of the Agreement shall be amended by deleting
                 the phrase "domestic satellite receive only (TVRO),".

                 satellite receive stations and related equipment and domestic
                 satellite receive only (TVRO) licenses (collectively, the "TWCS

                 proprietary rights;".

         (5)     The Purchase Price shall be increased by $900,000, from
                 $38,160,000 to $39,060,000.

                 all material items of tangible personal property included in
                 the Assets and Exhibit 2.1(b) contains descriptions of all

                 (j), (m) and (n) have been fully satisfied and further

         (9)     Except for FCC approval of the transfer of Cable Television
                 Relay Service Station License WLY-234 to TCNA, TWE hereby
                 waives Sections 7.2(g), (h) and (i) of the Agreement as
                 conditions to its obligation to consummate the transactions
                 contemplated by the Agreement, and TCNA shall not be required
                 to deliver to TWE the Tax Certificate at Closing.

         (10)    Section 8.1 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety
                 and replaced with the following:

                 "Section 8.1 Closing: Time and Place. The closing of the
                 transactions contemplated by this Agreement ("Closing") shall
                 occur on the later of (i) one business day following receipt
                 by Seller of FCC approval of the transfer of Cable Television
                 Relay Service Station License WLY-234 to Buyer or (ii) May 9,
                 1995, at a location mutually determined by Seller and Buyer.

         (11)    TWE shall cause TW Cable Service Co. to transfer to TCNA, via
                 a TWCS Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement
                 (the "TWCS Agreement") substantially in the form attached
                 hereto, the TWCS Assets set forth on Exhibit A to the TWCS
                 Agreement. From and after Closing, TWE shall indemnify and
                 hold harmless TCNA from and against any and all Losses
                 incurred by TCNA arising out of or resulting from any material
                 breaches by TWCS of its representations or covenants under the
                 TWCS Agreement as if such breach by TWCS were a breach by TWE
                 under the Agreement; provided, however, that such
                 indemnification shall be limited to and governed by the
                 indemnification provisions contained in Sections 11.3, 11.4,
                 11.5 and 11.6 of the Agreement. From and after Closing, TCNA

                 any and all Losses incurred by TWE and/or TWCS arising out of
                 or resulting from any material breaches by TCNA of its
                 representations or covenants under the TWCS Agreement as if
                 such breach by TCNA were a breach by TCNA under the Agreement;
                 provided, however, that such indemnification shall be limited
                 to and governed by the indemnification provisions contained in
                 Sections 11.3, 11.4, 11.5 and 11.6 of the Agreement.

         (12)    Each of TWE and TCNA shall execute and deliver to the other a
                 notification agreement substantially in the form attached
                 hereto.

         (13)    Notwithstanding TWE's transfer of Ordinance No. 3413 dated
                 March 7, 1989 (granting a franchise to Warner Cable
                 Communications, Inc.), as amended by Ordinance No. 3589 dated

                 accordance with Ordinance No. 3882 dated March 21, 1995 and
                 the Agreement, TWE is not waiving, and shall not be construed
                 to have waived, its right to indemnification from TCNA for the
                 Assumed Obligations and Liabilities relating to the
                 Fayetteville Franchise.

         (14)    Immediately after Closing, TCNA shall file with each System
                 franchising authority ("Authority") a written acceptance and
                 assumption of such Authority's franchise agreement that is
                 acceptable to each such Authority in form and substance.

         The Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as written
except as amended herein. To the extent that any terms or provisions of the
Agreement are inconsistent with the amendments set forth herein, such terms and
provisions shall be deemed superseded hereby.

         This letter may be executed in two or more counterparts that together
