Item 2.  Acquisition of Assets

         On June 30, 1995, Jones Intercable, Inc., a Colorado corporation
("Intercable") entered into an asset purchase agreement (the "Agreement") with
Columbia Associates, L.P., an unaffiliated Delaware limited partnership
("Columbia"), to acquire the cable television systems serving Dale City, Lake
Ridge, Woodbridge, Fort Belvoir, Triangle, Dumfries, Quantico, Accoquan and
portions of Prince William County, all in the State of Virginia (the "Dale City
System").

         On July 15, 1995, Intercable assigned to a subsidiary, Jones
Communications of Virginia, Inc. ("Jones of Virginia"), formerly known as Jones
Intercable of Alexandria, Inc., a Colorado corporation, all of its right, title
and interest as buyer under the Agreement, including but not limited to, the
right to purchase the assets of the Dale City System, and Jones of Virginia
assumed and agreed to pay, discharge and perform all of the obligations and

         On November 29, 1995, Jones of Virginia purchased the Dale City System
from Columbia for $123,000,000, subject to customary closing adjustments as
provided by the Agreement.  The purchase price was paid from cash on hand and
proceeds from the Company's $500 million credit facility.

         Jones of Virginia paid Jones Financial Group, Ltd., an affiliate of
Jones of Virginia and Intercable, a fee of $1,328,400 as compensation for
acting as a financial advisor in connection with this transaction.

         The Dale City System has approximately 50,000 subscribers and passes
