Item 4.   Changes in Registrant's Certifying Accountant.
- ------    ----------------------------------------------

     Due to the acquisition of the Company by TCI Communications,
     Inc.  ("TCIC"),  effective November  1,  1996,  the  Company
     dismissed Price Waterhouse LLP ("Price Waterhouse")  as  its
     independent   accountants.   Simultaneously,   the   Company
     engaged  KPMG Peat Marwick LLP, the independent  accountants
     of TCIC, to be its new independent accountants.  Such change
     in  independent accountants was not specifically approved by
     the Company's Board of Directors.

     The  reports of Price Waterhouse on the financial statements
     of  the Company for the seven months ended July 31, 1996 and
     for  the  fiscal  years ended December  31,  1995  and  1994
     contained  no adverse opinion or disclaimer of  opinion  and
     were  not  qualified  or modified as to  uncertainty,  audit
     scope  or  accounting  principle.  In  connection  with  its
     audits for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994
     and  through  November 1, 1996 there were  no  disagreements
     with Price Waterhouse on any matter of accounting principles
     or  practices, financial statement disclosures, or  auditing
     scope  or procedure, which disagreements if not resolved  to
     the  satisfaction of Price Waterhouse would have caused them
     to  make  reference thereto in their report on the financial
     statements for such periods.
