          This amendment No. 1 amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule
13D, originally filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") on April 21, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D"), by Bay Harbour Management, L.C.
("Bay Harbour"), Tower Investment Group, Inc. ("Tower"), as the majority
stockholder of Bay Harbour, Steven A. Van Dyke ("Van Dyke"), in his capacity as
a stockholder and President of Tower, and Douglas P. Teitelbaum ("Teitelbaum"),
in his capacity as a stockholder of Tower.

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

          On April 12, 1999, the Reporting Persons entered into a Stockholder
and Option Agreement (the "Option Agreement") with Sprint Corporation ("Sprint")
pursuant to which the Reporting Persons granted Sprint an option (the "Option")
to purchase their shares of PCTV Common Stock ("Option Shares") at a price equal
to $8.00 per share of PCTV Common Stock, as adjusted if necessary ("Option
Price").  Pursuant to the terms of the Option Agreement, the Option Price was
adjusted to $10.00 per share of Common Stock as a result of Sprint entering into
agreements with certain other shareholders of PCTV to acquire their PCTV Common
Stock at a price of $10.00 per share.

          On May 21, 1999, Sprint purchased all of the Open Market Shares at a
price of $10.00 per Share, for a total purchase price of $8,816,000, by
exercising its Option under the Option Agreement.

          The above description of the Option Agreement and related matters set
forth in this Item and in Item 6 are summaries, and are qualified in their
entirety by reference to the complete text of such Option Agreement which was
filed on April 21, 1999 as an exhibit to the Schedule 13D.

          Although the foregoing reflects activities presently contemplated by
the Reporting Persons with respect to PCTV, the foregoing is subject to change
at any time.  Except as set forth above or in Item 6, the Reporting Persons have
no present plans or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the
transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule
13D.

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

          (a)  As of the date hereof, (i) Van Dyke beneficially owns 4,995
shares of PCTV Common Stock, which represent approximately 0.04% of PCTV Common
Stock outstanding, (ii) Teitelbaum beneficially owns 4,995 shares of PCTV Common
Stock, which represent approximately 0.04% of PCTV Common Stock outstanding,
(iii) Tower beneficially owns 4,995 shares of PCTV Common Stock, which represent
approximately 0.04% of PCTV Common Stock outstanding and (iv) Bay Harbour
beneficially owns 4,995 shares of PCTV Common Stock, which represent
approximately 0.04% of PCTV Common Stock outstanding based upon 12,956,291
shares of PCTV Common Stock outstanding as of May 12, 1999 as set forth in a
10-K filed on May 12, 1999 with the SEC. For purposes of disclosing the number
of shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons, (A) Van Dyke and
Teitelbaum are deemed to beneficially own all shares of PCTV Common Stock that
are beneficially owned by Tower and Bay Harbour and (B) Tower is deemed to
beneficially own all shares of PCTV Common Stock that are beneficially owned by
Bay Harbour.

          (b)  Each Reporting Person has (i) the sole power to vote or direct
the vote of the 4,995 shares of PCTV Common Stock held by Bay Harbour; and (ii)
the sole power to dispose of or to direct the disposition of such 4,995 shares
of PCTV Common Stock; except that Van Dyke and Teitelbaum share with each other
their voting and disposition power.

          (c) Information Concerning transactions in the Shares of PCTV Common
Stock by the Reporting Persons is set forth in Exhibit IV attached hereto,
which is incorporated herein by reference.

          (d)  The 4,995 shares of PCTV Common Stock held by Bay Harbour
reported in this Statement are beneficially owned by Van Dyke, Teitelbaum, Tower
and Bay Harbour for the benefit of certain investment partnerships and managed
accounts over which Van Dyke, Teitelbaum, Tower and Bay Harbour control the
power to (i) direct the voting of such shares of PCTV Common Stock and (ii)
dispose of such shares of PCTV Common Stock. The limited partners of the
investment partnerships and the investors in the managed accounts for which Bay
Harbour acts as an investment adviser have the right to participate in the
receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, securities held by
their funds or accounts, as the case may be.  No such fund, single limited
partner of any of such funds nor any investor in a managed account has the right
to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or proceeds
from the sale of, shares of PCTV Common Stock reported in this Schedule 13D
representing more than five percent of the outstanding PCTV Common Stock.

         (e)  As of May 21, 1999, the Reporting Persons ceased to be the
beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Shares of PCTV Common Stock.

Item 7.  Material to be filed as Exhibits.

Item 7 is hereby supplemented as follows:
