Item 5. Other Events
------------
On April 8, 1998, Jones Intercable, Inc., ("Intercable"), the general
partner of Cable TV Fund 15-A, Ltd., a Colorado limited partnership (the
"Partnership) executed a letter of intent on the Partnership's behalf pursuant
to which the Partnership agreed to sell the Partnership's cable television
properties located in and around the communities of Barrington, Elgin, South
Elgin, Hawthorn Woods, Kildeer, Lake Zurich, Indian Creek, Vernon Hills and
certain unincorporated areas of Kane and Lake Counties, all in the State of
Illinois (the "Barrington System") and the cable television properties located
in and around the municipalities of Flossmoor, La Grange, La Grange Park,
Riverside, Indian Head Park, Hazel Crest, Thornton, Lansing, Matteson, Richton
Park, Crete, University Park, Olympia Fields, Western Springs and certain areas
of Cook and Will Counties, all in the State of Illinois (the "South Suburban
System") to TCI Communications, Inc. or one of its affiliates. The closing of
this transaction, which is expected to occur in the first quarter of 1999, is
subject to the consents of governmental authorities and third parties with whom
the Partnership has contracted that are necessary for the transfer of the
Barrington System and the South Suburban System, and termination or expiration
of the statutory waiting period applicable to the transaction under the Hart-
Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended. Because the sale
of the Barrington System and the South Suburban System will represent a sale of
all or substantially all of the Partnership's assets, a vote of the limited
partners of the Partnership will be required to approve this sale.
In addition to the proposed sale of the Barrington System and the
South Suburban System, Intercable has also entered into letters of intent on
behalf of certain other managed partnerships to sell all of their remaining
cable properties located in the State of Illinois. These properties are located
in and around Aurora, Lake County, Naperville, Orland Park, Park Forest and
Wheaton, Illinois.
