MINERAL AVENUE ENGLEWOOD, COLORADO 80112 (303) 792-3111 To the Limited Partners of Jones Programming Partners 2-A, Ltd.: Please be advised that the special meeting of the limited partners of Jones Programming Partners 2-A, Ltd. (the "Partnership") scheduled to be held on Monday, November 5, 2001, at 10:30 a.m., Mountain Time, for the purpose of obtaining limited partner approval for the sale of the assets of the Partnership consisting of various rights to original programming entitled "Charlton Heston Presents: The Bible" and "The Whipping Boy" (collectively, the "Film Rights"), has been adjourned until Friday, December 21, 2001, at 10:30 a.m., Mountain Time, unless further adjourned. The adjournment will allow time for the solicitation of proxies for the Proposal set forth in the Proxy Statement dated October 4, 2001 sent to the limited partners. The General Partner has been informed by Tulip Media Ltd. ("Tulip"), the broker which is seeking to sell the Partnership's Film Rights, that Tulip has completed its initial sales efforts. Based on the responses received, Tulip believes that if a buyer can be obtained, the purchase price is likely to be significantly less than the potential values set forth in the Proxy Statement. The Films have attracted very little interest to date and the General Partner has authorized Tulip to seek the best price that it can obtain. There is no assurance that the Film Rights will be sold or if sold, what price or prices will be obtained. THE GENERAL PARTNER RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE IN FAVOR OF THE PROPOSAL, AS DEFINED IN THE PROXY STATEMENT. Jones Entertainment Group, Ltd., as General Partner of your Partnership, urges you to sign and return the enclosed proxy card as promptly as possible in the envelope provided--whether or not you plan to attend the meeting.
