Item 2.  Sale of Assets

         On February 28, 1996, Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B, Ltd. (the
"Partnership") sold its cable television system serving Orangeburg, South
Carolina (the "Orangeburg System") to Jones Cable Holdings, Inc. ("JCH"), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Jones Intercable, Inc., the general partner of the
Partnership, for a sales price of $18,347,667, subject to normal working
capital closing adjustments of approximately $376,000, which was deducted from
the sale proceeds.  The sales price was the average of three separate,
independent appraisals of the fair market value of the Orangeburg System.
Proceeds from the sale of the Orangeburg System were used to repay Partnership
debt of approximately $6,866,000, and the remaining $11,105,000 will be
distributed to limited partners in April 1996 pursuant to the partnership
agreement.  The distribution of approximately $11,105,000 represents a return
to each limited partner of $265 per $1,000 invested in the Partnership.  This
amount is in addition to the $328 per $1,000 invested in the Partnership
already returned to the limited partners through prior distributions.  The
Partnership will retain its interest in the Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B/C 
Venture.  No vote of the limited partners of the Partnership was required in 
connection with this transaction because the assets of the Orangeburg System 
did not constitute all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets.

         On February 29, 1996, JCH consummated an agreement with Time Warner
Entertainment-Advance/Newhouse Partnership ("TWEAN"), an unaffiliated cable
television system operator, pursuant to which JCH conveyed the Orangeburg 
System, along with certain other cable television systems owned by JCH, and 
cash in the amount of $3,500,000, subject to normal closing adjustments, to 
TWEAN in exchange for the cable television systems serving Andrews Air Force 
Base, Capitol Heights, Cheltenham, District Heights, Fairmount Heights, Forest
Heights, Morningside, Seat Pleasant, Upper Marlboro, and portions of Prince
Georges County, all in Maryland, and a portion of Fairfax County, Virginia.

                   UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                      OF JONES CABLE INCOME FUND 1-B, LTD.



         The following unaudited pro forma balance sheet assumes that as of
September 30, 1995, Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B, Ltd.  (the "Partnership") had
sold the cable television system serving areas in and around Orangeburg, South
Carolina (the "Orangeburg System") for $18,347,667.  The funds available to the
Partnership, adjusting for the estimated net closing adjustments of the
Orangeburg System, are expected to total approximately $17,865,329.  Such funds
will be used to repay all indebtedness of the Partnership, and the balance will
be distributed to the limited partners pursuant to the terms of the Partnership
Agreement.  The unaudited Pro Forma Statements of Operations assume that the
Orangeburg System was sold as of January 1, 1994.  The Partnership will
continue to own its 40 percent interest in Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B/C (the
"Venture").

         The unaudited pro forma financial information should be read in
conjunction with the appropriate notes to the unaudited pro forma financial

         ALL OF THE FOLLOWING UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION IS
