Apollo Cable Partners,  L.P. does not own any shares of Class A Common Stock and
is the  beneficial  owner of  4,261,364  shares of Class B Common  Stock,  which
shares are held by Apollo Cable Partners, L.P. nominee Atwell & Co.

Pursuant to the terms of that certain Stockholders'  Agreement,  dated April 13,
1993 (the  "Stockholders'  Agreement"),  by and among Cable  Acquisition  Corp.,
Albert M. Carollo,  William J. Elsner, L. Flinn, Jr. Family Limited Partnership,
Lawrence  Flinn,  Jr.,  Joseph E.  Giovanini,  Clarice J.  Giovanini,  Giovanini
Investments, Ltd., Curtis Rochelle, Marian Rochelle, Rochelle Investments, Ltd.,
Gene W. Schneider,  G. Schneider  Holdings,  Mark Schneider,  Janet S. Schneider
(collectively,  the "Founders"),  Apollo Cable Partners, L.P. ("Apollo") and the
Issuer,  Apollo and the Founders  have agreed to vote in favor of three  persons
nominated to be  directors by Apollo and nine persons  nominated to be directors
by the  Founders in the  elections  of  directors  of the Issuer.  The number of
persons  Apollo and the  Founders  are  entitled  to  nominate  for  election as
directors  is  subject to  reduction  for each  group if the  percentage  of the
Issuer's  voting  securities  beneficially  owned by it is reduced below certain
levels.  These  director  nomination  rights  expire on April 12,  2003,  unless
earlier  terminated by the  agreement of Apollo and the Founders.  A copy of the
Stockholders'   Agreement  can  be  found  at  Exhibit  10.16  to  the  Issuer's
Registration Statement on Form S-1 (File No. 33-61376) filed with Securities and
Exchange Commission on April 21, 1993.

To the best  knowledge of the Reporting  Person,  L. Flinn,  Jr. Family  Limited
Partnership and Lawrence Flinn,  Jr.  transferred all their shares in the Issuer
and ceased to be parties to the  Stockholders  Agreement.  In 1997, DLF Partners
and  Lawrence  F.  DeGeorge  became  parties to the  Stockholders  Agreement  as
Founders upon  acquiring all the shares held by Cable  Acquisition  Corporation.
Some of the Founders  have  transferred  all or a portion of their shares of the
Issuer to the  following  persons:  Albert & Carolyn  Company,  James R. Carollo
Living  Trust,  John B.  Carollo  Living  Trust,  Giovanini  Properties,  Curtis
Rochelle  Trust,  Jim Rochelle,  Kathleen  Jaure,  the Revocable  Trust of Janet
Schneider,  Susan G.  Schneider  and Robert A.  Schneider.  As a result of these
transfers,  the  transferees  became subject to the  Stockholders'  Agreement as
Founders.  William  J.  Elsner,  Joseph  E.  Giovanini,  Clarice  J.  Giovanini,
Giovanini  Investments,  Ltd., and Giovanini  Properties ceased to be parties to
the Stockholders Agreement upon the sale of substantially all of their shares of
Common Stock of the Issuer  through a secondary  offering on July 16, 1998. As a
result of these transactions,  the current parties to the Stockholders Agreement
are the Issuer, Apollo, and Albert M. Carollo, Carollo Company, Albert & Carolyn
Company,  James R. Carollo  Living  Trust,  John B. Carollo  Living  Trust,  DLF
Partners, Lawrence F. DeGeorge, Kathleen Jaure, Curtis Rochelle, Curtis Rochelle
Trust, Jim Rochelle,  Marian Rochelle, Gene W. Schneider, G. Schneider Holdings,
Mark Schneider,  the Revocable Trust of Janet Schneider,  Susan G. Schneider and
Robert A. Schneider as Founders.

The Issuer's Board of Directors is currently  composed of ten members,  eight of
whom may be deemed to have been  nominated  by the Founders and two of which may
be deemed to have been nominated by Apollo.

There are no other  agreements  among the Reporting Person and any other Founder
with respect to the voting of the Issuer's securities.

To the  best of the  Reporting  Person's  knowledge,  the  Founders  and  Apollo
beneficially  owned as of December 31, 1998, a total of 10,400,097 shares of the
Class A Common Stock  (assuming the  conversion  of 9,608,136  shares of Class B
Common Stock for 9,608,136  shares of Class A Common Stock and includes  572,583
shares that would be acquired upon exercise of presently  exercisable  options).

As a result of voting  provisions of the Stockholders'  Agreement,  the Founders
and Apollo  may be deemed to be a "group"  for  purposes  of Rule 13d-3 and each
member of such "group" may be deemed to beneficially  own shares of the Issuer's
stock held by the other  members of such  "group."  Pursuant to Rule 13d-4,  the
Reporting Person hereby disclaims  beneficial  ownership for purposes of Section
13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, of the shares
of Class A Common  Stock and Class B Common  Stock held by any other  Founder or
their transferees.
