MARCUS CABLE COMPANY, L.P.
DALLAS, TEXAS
December 4, 1997
MARCUS CABLE TO SELL NON-STRATEGIC CABLE SYSTEMS
IN DELAWARE AND MARYLAND TO COMCAST
Dallas, TX.---As part of the previously announced strategy of
divesting certain non-clustered cable television systems, Marcus
Cable Company, L.P. announced today that it has entered into a
definitive agreement with an affiliate of Comcast Corporation to
sell its cable television assets located in Delaware and Maryland
for $65.5 million. The cable television systems serve
approximately 26,500 customers in the Delmarva peninsula.
The systems serve the eastern coast of Maryland, along the
Chesapeake Bay, eastward to the Atlantic Ocean through central
Delaware with two headends. In commenting on the sale, Jeffrey A.
Marcus, Chairman and CEO said, "This is part of our previously
announced divestiture of non-strategic assets serving approximately
200,000 basic customers and reflects our strategy to bring greater
focus to our core clusters. Comcast is one of the industry leaders
in terms of customer service and technology advancement and I
believe our customers will continue to be well served under the
management of Comcast."
Thomas G. Baxter, President of Comcast Cable Communications, Inc.
said of the acquisition, "These systems are an excellent geographic
fit for Comcast, giving us broader coverage between currently owned
and operated Comcast systems in Dover and Rehoboth Beach, Delaware
and Salisbury, Maryland."
Waller Capital is representing Marcus Cable in the sale of Delaware
and Maryland systems and continues to market the remaining non-strategic
systems serving approximately 170,000 customers in
Connecticut, Illinois, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas and Virginia.
The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the closing
is expected to occur in the first half of 1998.
Marcus Cable owns and manages domestic cable television systems.
It is currently the nation's tenth largest cable operator serving
over 1.2 million customers in 18 states. More information on
Marcus Cable can be found on the company's website on the internet
