Item 2.    Acquisition or Disposition of Assets
           ------------------------------------

     On July 30, 1999, the Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B/C Venture (the
"Venture"), in which Jones Cable Income Fund 1-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") owns
a 60 percent interest and in which Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B, Ltd. ("Fund 1-
B") owns a 40 percent interest, sold the Myrtle Creek System to an unaffiliated
party for a sales price of $10,000,000, subject to customary closing
adjustments.    This sale was approved by the holders of a majority of the
limited partnership interests in a vote conducted in June and July 1999.  From
the sale proceeds, the Venture paid a $250,000 brokerage fee to The Intercable
Group, Ltd. ("The Intercable Group"), a subsidiary of Jones Intercable, Inc.,
representing 2.5 percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker in the
transaction,  repaid the then outstanding balance of the Venture's credit
facility of $2,400,000, and deposited $500,000 into an interest-bearing
indemnity escrow account. The Venture will settle working capital adjustments
and, based upon financial information as of June 30, 1999, the remaining net
sale proceeds of approximately $6,500,000 will be distributed 60 percent to the
Partnership and 40 percent to Fund 1-B.  The Partnership will receive
approximately $3,915,000 and Fund 1-B will receive approximately $2,585,000 of
such distribution.  The Partnership, in turn, will create a reserve to cover the
administrative expenses of the Partnership and then it will distribute the
balance to the limited partners of the Partnership.  This distribution is
expected to be made in the third quarter of 1999.  Because this distribution to
the limited partners of the Partnership together with all prior distributions
will not return the amount initially contributed by the limited partners to the
Partnership plus the limited partners' liquidation preference provided by the
Partnership's limited partnership agreement, the General Partner of the
Partnership will not receive a general partner distribution from the Myrtle
Creek System's sale proceeds.

     For a period of one year following the closing date, $500,000 of the sale
proceeds will remain in escrow as security for the Venture's agreement to
indemnify the purchaser under the asset purchase agreement.  The Venture's
primary exposure, if any, will relate to the representations and warranties made
about the Myrtle Creek System in the asset purchase agreement.  Any amounts
remaining from this indemnity escrow account and not claimed by the buyer at the
end of the one-year escrow period plus interest earned on the escrowed funds
will be returned to the Venture.  From this amount, the Venture will pay its
remaining liabilities and the Venture will then distribute the balance, if any,
to its partners.  From its share of this distribution, the Partnership will
retain funds necessary to cover the administrative expenses of the Partnership
and it will distribute the balance, if any, to the limited partners.

     Although the sale of the Myrtle Creek System represented the sale of the
only remaining operating asset of the Venture, and the Partnership's interest in
the Venture represents its only asset, the Venture and the Partnership will not
be dissolved until all proceeds from escrow have been distributed.

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



     The following unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet assumes that
as of June 30, 1999, Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B/C Venture (the "Venture") had
sold the cable television system serving subscribers in and around Myrtle Creek,
Oregon (the "Myrtle Creek System") for $10,000,000. From the sale proceeds, the
Venture paid a $250,000 brokerage fee to The Intercable Group, Ltd. ("The
Intercable Group"), a subsidiary of Jones Intercable, Inc. (the "General
Partner"), representing 2.5 percent of the sales price, for acting as a broker
in the transaction, repaid the outstanding balance on the Venture's credit
facility of $2,400,000, and deposited $500,000 into an interest-bearing
indemnity escrow account. The Venture will settle working capital adjustments
and, based upon financial information as of June 30, 1999, the remaining net
sale proceeds of approximately $6,500,000 will be distributed 60 percent to
Jones Cable Income Fund 1-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and 40 percent to Jones
Cable Income Fund 1-B, Ltd. ("Fund 1-B"). The Partnership will receive
approximately $3,915,000 and Fund 1-B will receive approximately $2,585,000 of
such distribution. The Partnership, in turn, will create a reserve of $300,000
to cover the administrative expenses of the Partnership and then it will
distribute the balance to the limited partners of the Partnership. This
distribution is expected to be made in the third quarter of 1999. Because this
distribution to the limited partners of the Partnership together with all prior
distributions will not return the amount initially contributed by the limited
partners to the Partnership plus the limited partners' liquidation preference
provided by the Partnership's limited partnership agreement, the General Partner
of the Partnership will not receive a general partner distribution from the
Myrtle Creek System's sale proceeds.

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

     ALL OF THE FOLLOWING UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
IS BASED UPON AMOUNTS AS OF JUNE 30, 1999 AND CERTAIN ESTIMATES OF LIABILITIES
AT CLOSING. FINAL RESULTS MAY DIFFER FROM SUCH INFORMATION.

        NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

     1)   The following calculations present the sale of the Myrtle Creek System
and the resulting estimated proceeds expected to be received by the Partnership.

     2)   The unaudited pro forma consolidated balance sheet assumes that the
Partnership had sold the Myrtle Creek System as of June 30, 1999. The unaudited
pro forma consolidated statements of operations of the Partnership assumes that
the Partnership had sold the Myrtle Creek System, the Clear Lake System, the
Southwestern Michigan System and the South Sioux City System as of January 1,
1998.

     3)   From the $10,000,000 sale proceeds, the Venture paid a $250,000
brokerage fee to The Intercable Group, representing 2.5 percent of the sales
price, for acting as a broker in the transaction, repaid the outstanding balance
on the Venture's credit facility of $2,400,000, and deposited $500,000 into an
interest-bearing indemnity escrow account. The Venture will settle working
capital adjustments and, based upon financial information as of June 30, 1999,
the remaining net sale proceeds of approximately $6,500,000 will be distributed
60 percent to the Partnership and 40 percent to Fund 1-B. The Partnership will
receive approximately $3,915,000 and Fund 1-B will receive approximately
$2,585,000 of such distribution. The Partnership, in turn, will create a reserve
of $300,000 to cover the administrative expenses of the Partnership and then it
will distribute the balance to the limited partners of the Partnership. This
distribution is expected to be made in the third quarter of 1999. Because this
distribution to the limited partners of the Partnership together with all prior
distributions will not return the amount initially contributed by the limited
partners to the Partnership plus the limited partners' liquidation preference
provided by the Partnership's limited partnership agreement, the General Partner
of the Partnership will not receive a general partner distribution from the
Myrtle Creek System's sale proceeds.
