Item 2.  Disposition of Assets

         On February 22, 1995, Jones Intercable, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("Intercable") entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Agreement")
with Cable TV Fund 12-B, Ltd., a Colorado limited partnership (the
"Partnership"), providing for the sale by the Partnership to Intercable of the
Partnership's cable television system serving areas in and around Augusta,
Georgia (the "Augusta System").

         On October 20, 1995, Intercable assigned to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc.
("JCH") all of its right, title and interest as buyer under the Agreement,
including but not limited to, the right to purchase the assets of the Augusta
System, and JCH assumed and agreed to pay, discharge and perform all of the
obligations and duties of Intercable under the Agreement.  JCH is a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Intercable.

         A special vote of the limited partners of the Partnership was
conducted for the purpose of obtaining limited partner approval of the sale of
the Augusta System.  The transaction was approved by the holders of 74.8% of
the limited partnership interests of the Partnership.

         On October 20, 1995, JCH purchased the Augusta System from the
Partnership for $142,618,000, subject to customary closing adjustments as
provided by the Agreement.  The purchase price for the Augusta System
represented the average of three separate, independent appraisals of the
Augusta System.  The Partnership has paid all of its indebtedness, and the
Partnership has distributed the net sale proceeds to its partners of record as
of September 30, 1995.  The limited partners of the Partnership, as a group,
received $95,179,375, and the general partner has received $13,220,625.  The
distribution to the limited partners equates to approximately $857 for each
$500 limited partnership interest, or $1,714 for each $1,000 invested in the
Partnership.

         The Partnership continues to own a nine percent ownership interest in
the Cable TV Fund 12-BCD Venture (the "Venture").  The Venture currently owns
three cable television systems serving the areas in and around
Palmdale/Lancaster, California; Albuquerque, New Mexico and Tampa, Florida.
The Venture has entered into a purchase and sale agreement pursuant to which
the Venture has agreed to sell the Tampa, Florida cable television system to
Intercable, the general partner.
