ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS.

On January 20, 1995, Tele-Vue Systems, Inc. ("Tele-Vue"), Viacom International
Inc. ("Viacom"), InterMedia Partners IV, L.P. ("IP- IV") and RCS Pacific, L.P.
("RCS Pacific") entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement")
pursuant to which RCS Pacific will acquire from Tele-Vue the assets of cable
television systems serving approximately 1 million subscribers as of December
31, 1994 for total consideration of approximately $1,983,000,000, subject to
adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.  A subsidiary of    
Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI") has agreed to loan $600 million in cash to
IP-IV. IP-IV will, in turn, loan such $600 million to RCS Pacific. RCS Pacific
could use the proceeds of the aforementioned loan as a portion of the total cash
consideration to be paid to Tele-Vue, or at the option of TCI, to purchase $600
million of TCI Class A common stock. Should TCI elect to sell such common stock,
RCS Pacific has the option to pay the consideration by delivery to Tele-Vue of
its short-term note of up to $600 million of the total consideration with the
balance to be paid in cash.  Such note, if it is delivered, will be secured by
RCS Pacific's pledge of shares of stock of TCI having an aggregate market value
equal to the principal amount of such note, and payment of such note is expected
to be made with the proceeds of the sale of the TCI stock pledged as    
collateral.  TCI will guarantee that RCS Pacific will receive, upon sale of such
TCI common stock, an amount equal to the principal amount of, and accrued
interest on, the note delivered to Tele-Vue. The consummation of the
transactions contemplated by the Agreement is conditioned, among other things,
on receipt of approvals of various franchise and other governmental authorities
and receipts of "minority tax certificates" from the Federal Communications
Commission (the "FCC"). Separately, TCI and Viacom have reached agreement
regarding the settlement of litigation currently pending between them. Final
settlement of the litigation will be subject, among other things, to the
effectiveness of a new affiliation agreement convering TCI's long-term carriage
of Showtime and The Movie Channel. Effectiveness of this affiliation agreement,
in turn, is subject to certain conditions, including completion of the cable
transactions described above. These conditions are not expected to be met until
sometime in the summer of this year.

TCI, through its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary, TCID-IP IV, Inc.
("TCID-IP IV"), will hold a 25% limited partnership interest in IP-IV, and
IP-IV will in turn hold a 79% limited partnership interest in RCS Pacific.  TCI
will account for its investment in IP-IV under the equity method of accounting. 
It is  anticipated that if the transactions contemplated by the Agreement are
consummated, TCI's consolidated net income will be significantly reduced
because of losses allocable to TCID-IP IV from its investment in IP-IV. As a
result of the depreciation and amortization arising from allocation of the
purchase price to the assets to be acquired by RCS Pacific and as a result of
the interest expense resulting from the third party debt incurred by RCS
Pacific to finance the acquisition, it is expected that RCS Pacific will incur
losses for some time after the acquisition.

               Condensed Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

                               September 30, 1994
                                  (unaudited)


         The following unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet of
TCI Communications, Inc. ("TCIC") dated as of September 30, 1994, assumes that 
(i) the proposed merger with TeleCable Corporation ("TeleCable") (the "Merger")
(ii) the combination of TCIC and Liberty Media Corporation ("Liberty"), whereby 
TCIC and Liberty each became a wholly-owned subsidiary of TCI (the "TCI/Liberty 
Combination"), (iii) the transfer of United Artists International, Inc. from 
TCIC to TCI International Holdings, Inc. (the "International Transfer") and 
(iv) the investment in IP-IV had occurred as of such date.  See notes (1), (2), 
(3) and (4).

         In addition, the following unaudited condensed pro forma combined
statements of operations of TCIC for the nine months ended September 30, 1994
and the year ended December 31, 1993 assume that the proposed Merger, the
TCI/Liberty Combination, the International Transfer and the investment in IP-IV
had occurred as of January 1, 1993.

         The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the
results of operations that would have been obtained if the proposed Merger, the
TCI/Liberty Combination, the International Transfer and the investment in IP-
IV had occurred as of January 1, 1993.  These condensed pro forma combined
financial statements of TCIC should be read in conjunction with the condensed
pro forma financial statements and the related notes thereto of TCI included
elsewhere herein and the respective historical financial statements and the
related notes thereto of TCIC and TCI.

                               September 30, 1994
                                  (unaudited)


(1)      As of August 8, 1994, TCI, TCIC and TeleCable entered into a
         definitive merger agreement (the "Merger Agreement") whereby TeleCable
         will be merged into TCIC.  The aggregate $1.6 billion purchase price
         will be satisfied by TCIC's assumption of approximately $300 million
         of TeleCable's net liabilities and the issuance to TeleCable's
         shareholders of shares of TCI Class A common stock (currently
         estimated to be approximately 41.7 million shares) and 1 million
         shares of a new series of preferred stock to be designated
         "Convertible Preferred Stock, Series D" ("Series D Preferred Stock") 
         with an aggregate initial liquidation value of $300 million.  The
         Series D Preferred Stock, which will accrue dividends at a rate of
         5.5% per annum, will be convertible into 10 million shares of TCI
         Class A common stock.  The Series D Preferred Stock will be redeemable
         at the option of TCI after five years and at the option of either TCI
         or the holder after ten years.  Although the amount of net liabilities
         to be assumed by TCIC and the number of shares of TCI Class A common
         stock to be issued to TeleCable's shareholders are subject to closing
         adjustments, management does not believe that any such adjustments
         will be material.  The merger agreement requires the approval of
         TeleCable's shareholders and various franchise and other governmental
         authorities.
        
(2)      Subsequent to September 30, 1994, TCI was reorganized based upon four
         lines of business:  Domestic Cable and Communications; Programming;
         International Cable and Programming; and Technology/Venture Capital.
         In connection with this reorganization, on November 18, 1994, TCIC
         transferred its ownership of United Artists International, Inc. to TCI
         International Holdings, Inc. in exchange for 79,903 shares of a newly
         created class of TCI preferred stock, Redeemable Convertible Preferred
         Stock, Series E (the "Series E Preferred Stock").  Such transaction
         has been reflected at historical cost.  Series E Preferred Stock
         accrues dividends at the rate of 5.0% per annum and is convertible
         into TCI Class A common stock at the initial conversion rate of 1,000
         shares of TCI Class A common stock for one share of the Series E
         Preferred Stock.

(3)      The TCI/Liberty Combination, which were consummated on August 4, 1994,
         were structured as a tax free exchange whereby the common stock of
         TCIC and Liberty and the preferred stock of Liberty were exchanged for
         like shares of TCI.  The merger agreement provided that each share of
         TCIC's and Liberty's common stock (including shares held by TCIC's or
         Liberty's subsidiaries) would be converted into one share and 0.975 of
         a share, respectively, of the corresponding class of TCI's common
         stock.  Shares of Liberty Class E Preferred Stock were converted into
         shares of a preferred stock of TCI having designations, preferences,
         rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions substantially
         identical to the shares of preferred stock being converted. Shares of
         the remaining Liberty preferred stock held by subsidiaries of TCIC
         were converted into shares of a class of TCI preferred stock having an
         equivalent fair value to that which was given up.  The TCI/Liberty
         Combination has been accounted for as a purchase of Liberty by TCI
         utilizing Liberty's historical predecessor cost.

(4)      On January 20, 1995, Tele-Vue, Viacom, IP-IV and RCS Pacific entered  
         into the Agreement pursuant to which RCS Pacific will acquire from
         Tele-Vue the assets of cable television systems serving approximately
         1 million subscribers as of December 31, 1994 for total consideration
         of approximately $1,983,000,000, subject to adjustment in accordance
         with the terms of the Agreement.  A subsidiary of TCI has agreed to
         loan $600 million in cash to IP-IV. IP-IV will, in turn, loan such
         $600 million to RCS Pacific. RCS Pacific could use the proceeds of the
         aforementioned loan as a portion of the total cash consideration to be
         paid to Tele-Vue, or at the option of TCI, to purchase $600 million of
         TCI Class A common stock. Should TCI elect to sell such common stock,
         RCS Pacific has the option to pay the consideration by delivery to
         Tele-Vue of its short-term note of up to $600 million of the total
         consideration with the balance to be paid in cash.  Such note, if it
         is delivered, will be secured by RCS Pacific's pledge of shares of
         stock of TCI having an aggregate market value equal to the principal
         amount of such note, and payment of such note is expected to be made
         with the proceeds of the sale of the TCI stock pledged as collateral. 
         TCI will guarantee that RCS Pacific will receive, upon sale of such
         TCI common stock, an amount equal to the principal amount of, and
         accrued interest on, the note delivered to Tele-Vue. The consummation
         of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is conditioned,
         among other things, on receipt of approvals of various franchise and
         other governmental authorities and receipt of "minority tax  
         certificates" from the FCC.
        
(5)      Represents an allocation of the purchase price of TeleCable to its
         tangible and intangible assets.  The cost allocations were estimated
         using information available at the date of preparation of these
         condensed pro forma combined financial statements and will be adjusted
         upon final appraisal of the assets acquired.  Therefore, the actual
         allocations may differ from those allocations reflected herein.

(6)      Represents the estimated incremental deferred income tax liability
         associated with the TeleCable purchase price allocations, as described
         in note (5) above.  The adjustment assumes a combined federal and
         state income tax rate of 41%.

(7)      Represents the elimination of TeleCable's historical stockholders'
         deficit, including the note receivable from the employee stock
         purchase plan.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, any portion of such
         note receivable that remains unpaid at closing will not be included in
         the calculation of net liabilities to be assumed by TCIC at closing.

(8)      Represents TCI's capital contribution to TCIC resulting from the
         issuance by TCI to TeleCable shareholders of shares of TCI Class A
         common stock (currently estimated to be approximately 41.7 million
         shares) and 1 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock with an
         aggregate liquidation value of $300 million.  The number of shares of
         TCI Class A common stock to be issued, which will be calculated using a
         per share value of $24, is dependent upon the amount of net
         liabilities of TeleCable that is assumed by TCIC at closing and
         certain other factors.  See note (1) above.

(9)      Represents the elimination of the historical equity of the
         International Transfer and the issuance of the Series E Preferred
         Stock to TCIC recorded at historical cost.

(10)     Represents TCIC's capital contribution to IP-IV.

(11)     Represents borrowing by TCIC, the proceeds of which will be loaned to
         IP-IV who will then loan the proceeds to RCS Pacific.

(12)     Represents depreciation and amortization of TeleCable's allocated
         excess purchase price, based upon weighted average lives of 12-1/2
         years for property and equipment and 40 years for franchise costs.
         See note (4) above.

(13)     Reflects assumed interest expense on borrowings by TCIC to provide
         $600 million loan and $7 million capital contribution to IP-IV. Such 
         interest expense is calculated at the assumed rate of 6% per annum.

(14)     Reflects the elimination of TCIC's share of Liberty's historical
         earnings.  See note (3) above.

(15)     Reflects the estimated income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.

(16)     Represents assumed interest income on note receivable described in
         note 11. Such interest income is calculated at the assumed rate of 12%
         per annum.

(17)     Represents TCIC's share of historical earnings of IP-IV based upon
         historical earnings of the cable television systems to be acquired by
         RCS Pacific from Tele-Vue.

(18)     Represents the adjustment to TCI's share of historical earnings of 
         IP-IV to reflect the acquisition of certain cable television systems
         by RCS Pacific.  Such adjustment reflects TCI's 25% interest in IP-IV
         through such time as the capital contribution of the general partner
         of IP-IV has been reduced to zero through allocated share of losses.
         After such time, this adjustment reflects the recognition by TCI of
         100% of the losses of IP-IV. Such losses result from assumed
         additional depreciation and amortization of the allocated excess
         purchase price and from assumed additional interest expense on the
         assumed indebtedness incurred by RCS Pacific to fund the purchase
         price.
        
(19)     Should TCI elect to sell $600 million of TCI Class A common stock to 
         RCS Pacific and should RCS Pacific elect to pay a portion of the
         consideration with a note payable in the principal amount of $600
         million, net loss would be $16 million for the nine months ended
         September 30, 1994 and net earnings attributable to common             
         shareholders would be $13 million for the year ended December 31,
         1993, respectively.  

(20)     Reflects the elimination of the preferred stock dividend requirement
         on TCIC preferred stock converted into common stock of TCIC during the
         year ended December 31, 1993.

         The following unaudited condensed pro forma combined balance sheet of
TCI, dated as of September 30, 1994, assumes that (i) the proposed Merger, (ii)
the TCI/Liberty Combination and (iii) the investment in IP-IV  had occurred as
of such date.  See notes (1), (2) and (3).

         The following unaudited condensed pro forma combined statements of
operations of TCI for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 and the year
ended December 31, 1993 assume that the proposed Merger, the TCI/Liberty
Combination and the investment in IP-IV had occurred as of January 1, 1993.

         The unaudited pro forma results do not purport to be indicative of the
results of operations that would have been obtained if the proposed Merger, the
TCI/Liberty Combination and the investment in IP-IV had occurred as of January
1, 1993.  These condensed pro forma combined financial statements of TCI should
be read in conjunction with the condensed pro forma financial statements and
the related notes thereto of TCIC included elsewhere herein and the respective
historical financial statements and the related notes thereto of TCIC and TCI.

           Notes to Condensed Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements

                              September 30, 1994
                                  (unaudited)


(1)      The TCI/Liberty Combination, which were consummated on August 4, 1994,
         were structured as a tax free exchange whereby the common stock of
         TCIC and Liberty and the preferred stock of Liberty were exchanged for
         like shares of TCI.  The merger agreement provided that each share of
         TCIC's and Liberty's common stock (including shares held by TCIC's or
         Liberty's subsidiaries) would be converted into one share and 0.975 of
         a share, respectively, of the corresponding class of TCI's common
         stock.  Shares of Liberty Class E Preferred Stock were converted into
         shares of a preferred stock of TCI having designations, preferences,
         rights and qualifications, limitations and restrictions substantially
         identical to the shares of preferred stock being converted.  Shares of
         the remaining Liberty preferred stock held by subsidiaries of TCIC
         were converted into shares of a class of TCI preferred stock having an
         equivalent fair value to that which was given up.  All preferred stock
         of TCI held by TCIC or its subsidiaries has been eliminated in
         consolidation.  The TCI/Liberty Combination has been accounted for as
         a purchase of Liberty by TCI utilizing Liberty's historical
         predecessor cost.

(2)      As of August 8, 1994, TCI, TCIC and TeleCable entered into the Merger
         Agreement whereby TeleCable will be merged into TCIC.  The aggregate
         $1.6 billion purchase price will be satisfied by TCIC's assumption of
         approximately $300 million of TeleCable's net liabilities and the
         issuance to TeleCable's shareholders of shares of TCI Class A common
         stock (currently estimated to be approximately 41.7 million shares)
         and 1 million shares of Series D Preferred Stock with an aggregate
         initial liquidation value of $300 million.  The Series D Preferred
         Stock, which will accrue dividends at a rate of 5.5% per annum, will
         be convertible into 10 million shares of TCI Class A common stock.
         The Series D Preferred Stock will be redeemable at the option of TCI
         after five years and at the option of either TCI or the holder after
         ten years.  Although the amount of net liabilities to be assumed by
         TCIC and the number of shares of TCI Class A common stock to be issued
         to TeleCable's shareholders are subject to closing adjustments,
         management does not believe that any such adjustments will be
         material.  The merger agreement requires the approval of TeleCable's
         shareholders and various franchise and other governmental authorities.


(3)      On January 20, 1995, Tele-Vue, Viacom, IP-IV and RCS Pacific entered 
         into the Agreement pursuant to which RCS Pacific will acquire from
         Tele-Vue the assets of cable television systems serving approximately
         1 million subscribers as of December 31, 1994 for total consideration
         of approximately $1,983,000,000, subject to adjustment in accordance
         with the terms of the Agreement.  A subsidiary of TCI has agreed to
         loan $600 million in cash to IP-IV. IP-IV will, in turn, loan such
         $600 million to RCS Pacific. RCS Pacific could use the proceeds of the
         aforementioned loan as a portion of the total cash consideration to be 
         paid to Tele-Vue, or at the option of TCI, to purchase $600 million of
         TCI Class A common stock. Should TCI elect to sell such common stock,
         RCS Pacific has the option to pay the consideration by delivery to
         Tele-Vue of its short-term note of up to $600 million of the total
         consideration with the balance to be paid in cash.  Such note, if it
         is delivered, will be secured by RCS Pacific's pledge of shares of
         stock of TCI having an aggregate market value equal to the principal
         amount of such note, and payment of such note is expected to be made
         with the proceeds of the sale of the TCI stock pledged as collateral. 
         TCI will guarantee that RCS Pacific will receive, upon sale of such
         TCI common stock, an amount equal to the principal amount of, and
         accrued interest on, the note delivered to Tele-Vue. The consummation
         of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement is conditioned,
         among other things, on receipt of approvals of various franchise and
         other governmental authorities and receipts of "minority tax
         certificates" from the FCC.
        


                                                                     (continued)

           Notes to Condensed Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements


(4)      Represents an allocation of the purchase price of TeleCable to its
         tangible and intangible assets.  The cost allocations were estimated
         using information available at the date of preparation of these
         condensed pro forma combined financial statements and will be adjusted
         upon final appraisal of the assets acquired.  Therefore, the actual
         allocations may differ from those allocations reflected herein.

(5)      Represents the estimated incremental deferred income tax liability
         associated with the TeleCable purchase price allocations, as described
         in note (4) above.  The adjustment assumes a combined federal and
         state income tax rate of 41%.

(6)      Represents the elimination of TeleCable's historical stockholders'
         deficit, including the note receivable from the employee stock
         purchase plan.  Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, any portion of such
         note receivable that remains unpaid at closing will not be included in
         the calculation of net liabilities to be assumed by TCIC at closing.

(7)      Represents TCI's capital contribution to TCIC resulting from the
         issuance by TCI to TeleCable shareholders of shares of TCI Class A
         common stock (currently estimated to be approximately 41.7 million     
         shares) and 1 million shares of  Series D Preferred Stock with an
         aggregate liquidation value of $300 million.  The number of shares of
         TCI Class A common stock to be issued, which will be calculated using
         a per share value of $24, is dependent upon the amount of net
         liabilities of TeleCable that is assumed by TCIC at closing and
         certain other factors.  See note (2) above.

(8)      Represents TCI's capital contribution to IP-IV.

(9)      Represents borrowings by TCI, the proceeds of which will be loaned to
         IP-IV who will in turn loan the proceeds to RCS Pacific.

(10)     Represents the elimination of intercompany revenue and operating
         expenses between TCIC and Liberty arising from the sale of certain
         cable television programming to their respective cable television
         subscribers.  See note (2) above.

(11)     Represents depreciation and amortization of TeleCable's allocated
         excess purchase price based upon weighted average lives of 12-1/2
         years for property and equipment and 40 years for franchise costs. See
         note (1).

(12)     Represents the elimination of interest on intercompany indebtedness
         between TCIC and Liberty.  See note (1) above.

(13)     Represents the elimination of TCIC's share of Liberty's historical
         earnings.

(14)     Reflects the estimated income tax effect of the pro forma adjustments.


                                                                     (continued)

           Notes to Condensed Pro Forma Combined Financial Statements


(15)     Represents the dividend requirements on TCI's Series D Preferred Stock
         (to be issued in connection with the proposed Merger - see note 2).

(16)     Represents the elimination of the preferred stock dividend requirement
         on certain preferred stock of Liberty repurchased from TCIC in June of
         1993.

(17)     Reflects assumed interest expense on borrowings by TCI to provide a
         $600 million loan and $7 million capital contribution to IP-IV. 
         Such interest expense is calculated at the assumed rate of 6% 
         per annum.

(18)     Represents assumed interest income on note receivable described in
         note 9. Such interest income is calculated at the assumed rate of 12%
         per annum.

(19)     Represents TCI's share of historical earnings of IP-IV based upon
         historical earnings of the cable television systems to be acquired by
         RCS Pacific from Tele-Vue.

(20)     Represents the adjustment to TCI's share of historical earnings of
         IP-IV to reflect the acquisition of certain cable television systems
         by RCS Pacific.  Such adjustment reflects TCI's 25% interest in IP-IV  
         through such time as the capital contribution of the general partner
         of IP-IV has been reduced to zero through allocated share of losses.
         After such time, the adjustment reflects the recognition by TCI of
         100% of the losses of IP-IV. Such losses result from assumed
         additional depreciation and amortization of the allocated excess
         purchase price and from assumed additional interest expense on the
         assumed indebtedness incurred by RCS Pacific to fund the purchase
         price.

(21)     Reflects the elimination of the preferred stock dividend requirement
         on TCIC preferred stock converted into common stock of TCIC during the
         year ended December 31, 1993.

(22)     Represents the elimination of the preferred stock dividend
         requirements on Liberty preferred stock held by TCIC converted into
         preferred stock of TCI.

(23)     Amount not eliminated for pro forma purposes as a reserve for an
         impairment would have been required (based upon fair market value of
         underlying asset) equal to the loss recognized by Liberty.

(24)     Should TCI elect to sell $600 million of TCI Class A common stock to 
         RCS Pacific and should RCS Pacific elect to pay a portion of the
         consideration with a note payable in the principal amount of $600
         million, net earnings attributable to common shareholders would be $59
         million (or $.09 per share) for the nine months ended September 30,
         1994 and net loss attributable to common shareholders would be $49
         million (or $.08 per share) for the year ended December 31, 1993,
         respectively.

(25)     Reflects primary and fully diluted earnings per common and common
         equivalent share based upon 650,386,837 weighted average shares. Such
         amount is calculated utilizing 517,168,689 weighted average shares of
         TCI at September 30, 1994 (such amount representing TCI's weighted
         average shares, as disclosed in its historical financial statements),
         adjusted for the effect of shares issued in the TCI/Liberty
         Combination as if such transaction had occurred on January 1 and
         adjusted for the issuance of 41,700,000 shares of TCI Class A common
         stock to be issued in connection with the proposed Merger.  Shares
         issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock (see note 2)
         have not been included in the computation of weighted average shares
         outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 1994 because their
         inclusion would be anti-dilutive.



                                                                     (continued)

(26)     Reflects loss per common share based upon 591,282,340 weighted average
         shares.  Such amount is calculated utilizing (i) 432,566,150 weighted
         average shares of TCIC at December 31, 1993 (such amount representing
         TCIC's weighted average shares, as disclosed in its historical
         financial statements) reduced by 6,525,721 shares of TCIC common stock
         previously held by Liberty (ii) 126,932,745 weighted averages shares
         of Liberty at December 31, 1993 (such amount representing Liberty's
         weighted average shares, as disclosed in its historical financial
         statements and Liberty common stock repurchased from TCIC in 1993, all
         of which have been adjusted by 0.975 of a share) reduced by 3,390,834
         shares of Liberty common stock (as adjusted by 0.975 of a share)
         previously held by TCIC and (iii) 41,700,000 shares of TCI Class A
         common stock to be issued in connection with the proposed Merger.
         Shares issuable upon conversion of the Series D Preferred Stock (see
         note 2) have not been included in the computation of weighted average
         shares outstanding for the year ended December 31, 1993 because their
         inclusion would be anti-dilutive.
