PROXY STATEMENT
ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD
ON SEPTEMBER 4, 1996
This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of
Stockholders and Annual Report for the Year Ended December 31, 1995 are being
furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of
Micro-Lite Television, a Nevada corporation (the "Company"), of proxies for
use at the 1996 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of the
Company to be held on September 4, 1996, at 10:30 a.m., Central Time, at the
office of the Company, 7870 College Street, Beaumont, Texas 77707, and at any
adjournments thereof. This Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy are first
being sent to stockholders on or about August 8, 1996.
The close of business on July 16, 1996 has been selected as the record
date (the "Record Date") for determining the holders of outstanding shares of
the Company's common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Common Stock"),
entitled to receive notice of and vote at the Annual Meeting. On the Record
Date, there were 6,004,836 shares of Common Stock outstanding and
approximately 660 holders of record. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to
one vote per share.
VOTING OF PROXIES
The presence in person or by properly executed proxy of the record
holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock will
constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Elections of directors will be
determined by a plurality vote of all shares present in person or by properly
executed proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting. The affirmative vote of the
record holders of a majority of the Common Stock present in person or by
proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting is required to ratify the selection of
the independent public accountants. Abstentions will have the same effect as
a withheld vote with respect to the election of directors and will have no
effect on the ratification of the selection of the independent public
accountants. Broker non-votes will have no effect on the votes with respect
to the election of directors or the ratification of the selection of the
independent certified public accountants.
Unless proxies have been previously revoked, all shares represented by
properly executed proxies will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance
with the directions given on such proxies. Any person giving a proxy has the
power to revoke it, in writing delivered to the Secretary of the Company at
the address given above, at any time prior to exercise. If no direction is
given, a properly executed proxy will be voted FOR the election of the four
persons named under "Election of Directors" and FOR the ratification of the
selection of Smith & Company, as the Company's independent certified public
accountants. The Board of Directors does not anticipate that any other
matters will be brought before the Annual Meeting. If, however, other
matters are properly presented, the persons named in the proxy will have
discretion, to the extent allowed by Nevada law, to vote in accordance with
their own judgment on such matters.

Pursuant to the Company's Bylaws, the Company's Board of Directors

listed below should become unavailable for any reason, the proxy will be
voted for any substitute nominee or nominees who may be selected by
management prior to or at the Annual Meeting, or, if no substitute is

with the exception of J. Christopher Spradley, III is currently a Director of
the Company.
NOMINEES FOR DIRECTOR:
Jon H. Marple
Mary E. Blake
Charles Bartell
J. Christopher Spradley, III
The only nominee for director for the Company that is not presently a
director for the Company is J. Christopher Spradley, III.
J. CHRISTOPHER SPRADLEY, III. Mr. Spradley has been the Chief Executive
Officer of Parker Capital Corporation, a merchant banking firm that
specializes in the broadcasting, cable and communications industries, located
in Houston, Texas, since June 1990. Parker Capital recently completed a
reverse acquisition and initial capitalization of Charter Communications,
which is now a reporting company under the Securities Act of 1934. In 1991,
Mr. Spradley organized, prepared the application and arranged for the
approval of Preferred Capital Corporation, as a Small Business Investment
Company under the United States Small Business Act of 1958. Preferred
Capital now operates as Heartland Wireless Systems, Inc. a company which is
traded on the NASDAQ National Market System. Mr. Spradley holds a Bachelor

Certain information regarding the three nominees who are presently
directors of the Company is set forth below in the section entitled
"Management of the Company -- Directors and Executive Officers."
VOTE REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the record holders of a plurality of the Common
Stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting is
required to elect Directors. The enclosed proxy provides a means for
stockholders to vote for the election of all of the nominees, to withhold
authority to vote for one or more such nominees, or to withhold authority to
vote for all of such nominees. Abstentions with respect to the election of a
nominee for Director will have the same effect as a withheld vote and broker
non-votes will have no effect on the election of Directors.
It is the intention of the persons in the enclosed proxy to vote FOR the
election of the above-named nominees to serve as Directors of the Company.
The nominees, three of the four of whom currently serve
2
<PAGE>
as Directors, have consented to be named in this Proxy Statement and to
continue to serve if elected. Management does not contemplate or foresee that
any of the nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve or be otherwise
unavailable for election.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION
The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote FOR the
election of the nominees for Director set forth above.
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
ITEM 2 -- RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC
ACCOUNTANTS

Utah 84101 ("Smith & Company"), as the Company's independent certified public
accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996. Although the
selection of auditors does not require ratification, the Board has directed
that the appointment of Smith & Company be submitted to stockholders for
ratification because management believes this matter is of such significance
as to warrant stockholder participation. The Company expects representatives
of Smith & Company to be present at the Annual Meeting in person or by
telephone conference to respond to appropriate stockholder questions, and
they will be given the opportunity to address the stockholders, if they so
desire.
VOTE REQUIRED
The affirmative vote of the record holders of a majority of the Common
Stock present in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting and voting is
required to ratify the selection of the independent certified public
accountants. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on such
vote.
BOARD RECOMMENDATION

certified public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
The Company presently has no employment agreements with any employee.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Board of Directors has not established any compensation committee.
Therefore, the full board reviews and makes decisions regarding salaries,
compensation and benefits of executive officers and key employees of the
Company.
Compensation of the company's executive officers and key employees has
historically consisted of two components, base salary and annual bonuses.
Base compensation levels have been developed in order to attract and retain
executives and key employees based on their level of responsibility within
the Company. Generally, the Company has positioned salaries at median
compensation levels for comparable positions and responsibilities in the
market. Individual salaries may be higher or lower based on the
qualifications and experience of the individual as well as company
performance. Base salaries have been subject to periodic review. Annual
bonuses will be linked to executive pay with performance in areas key to the
Company's short term operating success. For the past three years no bonuses
have been granted.
For fiscal 1995, the compensation packages of the Company's president
Mr. Marple and Vice-President Ms. Blake were established at the beginning of
the year. Mr. Marple currently receives an annual salary of $120,000 and Ms.
Blake currently receives an annual salary of $45,000. Mr. Marple and Ms.
Blake are husband and wife.

PERFORMANCE DATA
The Company's Common Stock became subject to the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") in 1984 as a result of the issuance of shares of
Common Stock Pursuant to the initial public offering. The Company is not
listed on an exchange or the NASDAQ system and as a result there has not been
significant trading in the Common Stock and accordingly, information as to
market price per share is not available. During 1995 there was occasional
activity in the stock, with a trade occurring approximately once a month
during fiscal 1995. The last reported price during fiscal 1995 for the
stock was $.75 per share.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
As noted above, the Company does not have a compensation committee.
The compensation of executive officers is determined by the Board of
Directors. Jon H. Marple, who is the President of the Company is also
Chairman of the Board of Directors and Mary E. Blake, who is the
Vice-President of the Company, is also a Director. None of the executive
officers of the Company serve as a director or member of the compensation
committee of any entity, one of whose executive officers serves as a director
of the Company.
CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The Company engaged in no transactions during 1995 with any director,
officer or employee of the Company.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16A ( OF THE EXCHANGE ACT)
