                               PROSPECTUS SUMMARY


     The following section highlights the key information contained in this
prospectus. You should read the entire prospectus, including the "Risk Factors"
and the financial statements and all notes. Prior to the exchange of limited
partnership interests for common stock to occur upon completion of this
offering, we operated as a limited partnership, and all taxable earnings were
taxed directly to our then-existing partners.


                                    INSIGHT


     We are the 8th largest cable television system operator in the United
States based on customers served, after giving effect to our proposed
acquisition of the Kentucky cable television systems and other recently
announced industry acquisitions. We have approximately 1,049,000 customers and
pass approximately 1,635,000 homes as of March 31, 1999, after giving effect to
the Kentucky acquisition and our proposed provision of consulting services to
additional cable television systems located in Indiana. We have a tightly
grouped cluster of cable television systems with approximately 98% of our
customers concentrated in the four contiguous states of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio
and Illinois. Our systems have a very high concentration of customers served by
each headend or technical center of the network allowing us to more economically
deliver an array of entertainment, information and telecommunication services,
including interactive digital video, high-speed data access and telephone
service products. Upon completion of our rebuild efforts, which is expected to
occur in 2000, over 96% of our customers will be served from nine headends. In
addition to our optimal state-of-the-art technical configuration, our market
research indicates that our clusters have attractive market characteristics and
demographics for offering new and enhanced products and services that take
advantage of the significant bandwidth of our cable network. We believe that
because of this advantageous combination, we are very well positioned to exploit
the new business opportunities available to cable television operators.





After giving effect to the above transactions:





                                                                        BASED ON OUR INTERESTS IN EACH OF THE OPERATING

     Our marketing strategy is to offer our customers an array of entertainment,
information and telecommunication services on a bundled basis. By bundling our
products and services, our customers would have an increased choice of services
at a reduced cost resulting in higher customer satisfaction, increased use of
our services and greater customer retention. We began offering new and enhanced
products and services, such as interactive digital video and high-speed data
access, during the second quarter of 1999, and intend to offer telecommunication
services beginning in 2000.



     We believe that the highly clustered nature of our systems will enable us
to more efficiently invest our marketing dollars and maximize our ability to
establish customer awareness, increase use of our services and build brand
support. In addition to our broad product offering, we also emphasize a high
level of locally


                                       3

focused customer service. Our emphasis is on system reliability, engineering
support and superior customer satisfaction.


     To facilitate the deployment of our enhanced products and services, we are
in the process of rebuilding almost all of our network to provide at least 750
MHz of capacity with two-way communications capability. We have rebuilt
approximately 29% of our network miles as of March 31, 1999 after giving effect
to the proposed acquisition of the Kentucky cable television systems, and intend
to have approximately 71% of our network at or above 750 MHz by the end of 1999.
We intend to complete our network rebuild in 2000 having invested a total of
approximately $233.8 million.


BUSINESS STRATEGY

     Our management team developed and is executing a clear strategy to become a
competitive, full-service provider of entertainment, information and
telecommunication services. We developed this strategy because we recognize the
opportunities presented by new technology, the strength of our market
characteristics and favorable changes in the regulatory environment.

     Our operating strategy is centered on the development of new and enhanced
products and services for the communities served by our networks and consists of
the following elements:

     o Focus on operating clusters with attractive technical and demographic
       profiles;


     o Expeditiously rebuild our cable network;


     o Introduce new and enhanced products and services; and

     o Leverage strong local presence to enhance customer and community
       relations.

     To support our business strategy, we have developed a financial strategy to
pursue value-enhancing transactions and preserve our financial flexibility by
maintaining an appropriate capital structure.




RECENT DEVELOPMENTS


  THE KENTUCKY ACQUISITION


     In April 1999, we entered into an agreement with related parties of
Blackstone Capital Acquisition Company, LLC, related parties of InterMedia
Capital Management VI, LLC and a subsidiary and related party of AT&T Broadband
& Internet Services to purchase a combined 50% interest in InterMedia Capital
Partners VI, L.P. for $335.0 million, including expenses, subject to adjustment.
We also entered into an agreement with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, which
provides that we will each own a 50% interest in, and we will manage and
operate, the Kentucky systems upon the completion of the Kentucky acquisition.







  MANAGED INDIANA SYSTEMS



     We expect to enter into a five-year agreement with AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services to provide consulting services to cable television systems
being acquired by AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, which systems as of
March 31, 1999 passed approximately 160,000 homes and served approximately
114,000 customers in the State of Indiana. We will earn an annual fee of 3% of
gross revenues in exchange for providing consulting services.

              SUMMARY PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA


     The following tables set forth summary pro forma combined financial and
other data of the national, Columbus, Indiana and Kentucky systems and the
managed Indiana systems which are systems in which we have or will have a
significant economic interest. Such data have been adjusted to illustrate the
estimated effects of the following transactions as if they had occurred on
January 1, 1999 with respect to transactions that occurred in 1999 and
January 1, 1998 with respect to transactions that occurred in 1998:





o the acquisition by us of the Rockford system on January 22, 1998;





o the acquisition of the Columbus system by Insight Ohio on August 21, 1998;



     o the formation of Insight Indiana and related contributions of systems by
AT&T Broadband & Internet Services and us on October 31, 1998;



     o the systems exchanged on March 22, 1999 between Falcon Cablevision and
us, in which we swapped our Franklin system in exchange for Falcon's Scottsburg
system and cash;





o the acquisition by us of the Portland system on March 31, 1999;



     o the proposed acquisition by us of the Kentucky systems, which is expected
to be completed in the second half of 1999;



     o the proposed provision of consulting services to the managed Indiana
systems, which is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 1999;



     o the exchange of limited partnership interests in Insight Communications
Company, L.P. for our common stock; and





o the receipt of approximately $422.0 million of net proceeds in connection with
this offering.



     The summary pro forma combined financial and other data do not purport to
be indicative of what our financial position or results of operations would have
been had the above transactions been completed on the dates indicated or to
project our results of operations for any future date. See "Description of
Recent Transactions."



     When you read this summary pro forma combined financial and other data, it
is important that you read along with it the pro forma financial statements and
our historical financial statements and related notes, and the historical
financial statements of the TCI Insight Systems, which are the systems
contributed to Insight Indiana by AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, Insight
Communications of Central Ohio, LLC, TCI IPVI Systems, which are the Kentucky
systems prior to April 30, 1998 and InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P., which
are the Kentucky systems subsequent to April 30, 1998, which are included
elsewhere in this prospectus.





Our operations consist of our:



o national systems, which are cable television systems wholly-owned and operated
  by us, which include our Rockford, Illinois, Griffin, Georgia, Claremont,
  California and Scottsburg and Portland, Indiana systems, except that the
  technical and operating data of the Scottsburg and Portland systems are
  included with the Indiana systems since they are managed by Insight Indiana;



o Columbus system, which is the cable television system of Insight Ohio, in
  which we own a 75% non-voting equity interest and serve as manager;



o Indiana systems, which are the cable television systems of Insight Indiana, in
  which we own a 50% equity interest and serve as manager;



o Kentucky systems, which are the TCI IPVI Systems prior to April 30, 1998 and
  the cable television systems of InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P.
  subsequent to April 30, 1998, in which we will own a 50% equity interest and
  will serve as manager upon completion of the proposed acquisition; and



o managed Indiana systems, which are the cable television systems in Indiana
  being acquired by related parties of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services and
  for which we will provide consulting services, subject to the ultimate control
  of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services.

- ------------------


 (1) The financial data of Kentucky represents the combination of the results of
     TCI IPVI Systems from January 1, 1998 through April 30, 1998 and InterMedia
     Capital Partners VI, L.P. from April 30, 1998 through December 31, 1998.
     The combination of the two periods is not necessarily indicative of what
     the results of InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. or TCI IPVI would have
     been for the year.



 (2) Represents the following:



          o the elimination of the operating results of the Columbus system,
            which is not consolidated by us but includes our equity interest in
            the Columbus system;



          o AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' share of losses of the Indiana
            and Kentucky systems; and



          o reduction in interest expense related to the paydown of our debt
            from the proceeds of this offering.



     See "Pro Forma Financial Statements."



 (3) Represents the combined results of operations of the national, Indiana and
     Kentucky systems, and our equity interest in the Columbus system. Based
     upon our ownership interest in the national, Columbus and Indiana systems,
     and our interest in the Kentucky systems which is expected to be acquired
     in the second half of 1999, pro forma revenues and pro forma system cash
     flow approximated $244.5 million and $119.7 million for the year ended
     December 31, 1998 and $62.7 million and $31.2 million for the three month
     period ended March 31, 1999. Pro forma revenues and pro forma system cash
     flow are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as
     alternatives to, or more meaningful than, other measures in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma data exclude a
     one-time non-recurring charge to earnings to record a net deferred tax
     liability at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 of approximately $45.0
     million and $50.0 million that would have been recognized upon the exchange
     of limited partnership interests in Insight Communications Company, L.P.
     for our common stock. Excludes a one-time $17.1 million non-cash
     compensation charge associated with the distribution of shares, resulting
     from the general partner's share of Class B unit allocation to certain
     of our employees.



 (4) Represents earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and
     amortization and in 1998, with respect to the Columbus system, before
     severance and transaction structure costs of $4.8 million associated with
     the contribution of the Columbus system to Insight Ohio. Our management
     believes that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it is
     commonly used in the cable television industry to analyze and compare cable
     television companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and
     liquidity. However, EBITDA is not intended to be a performance measure that
     should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either
     operating income or net income as an indicator of operating performance or
     cash flows as a measure of liquidity, as determined in accordance with
     generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is not necessarily
     comparable to similarly titled amounts of other companies. See our
     financial statements, including the statements of cash flows, which are
     included elsewhere in this prospectus.



 (5) Represents results for the three months ended March 31, 1999 multiplied by
     four.



 (6) Represents EBITDA as a percent of revenues.



 (7) Represents EBITDA before corporate overhead and management fees. Our
     management believes that system cash flow is a meaningful measure of
     performance as it is commonly used in the cable television industry to
     analyze and compare cable television companies on the basis of operating
     performance, leverage and liquidity. However, system cash flow is not
     intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an
     alternative to, or more meaningful than, either operating income or net
     income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows as a measure
     of liquidity, as determined in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles. System cash flow is not necessarily



                                       8



     comparable to similarly titled amounts of other companies. See our
     financial statements, including the statements of cash flows, which are
     included elsewhere in this prospectus.



 (8) Represents average monthly revenue per average customer. For the national
     systems, the average monthly revenue per average customer includes
     approximately 10,900 customers from the Scottsburg and Portland systems,
     currently managed by Insight Indiana, but whose financial results are
     currently consolidated with the national systems as they are wholly-owned
     by us.



 (9) Represents an estimate based on our current rebuild program.



(10) Basic customers are customers of a cable television system who receive a
     package of over-the-air broadcast stations, local access channels and
     certain satellite-delivered cable television services, other than premium
     services, and who are usually charged a flat monthly rate for a number of
     channels.



(11) Basic penetration means basic customers as a percentage of total number of
     homes passed.



(12) Premium units mean the number of subscriptions to premium services, which
     are paid for on an individual basis.



(13) Premium penetration means premium service units as a percentage of the
     total number of basic customers. A customer may purchase more than one
     premium service, each of which is counted as a separate premium service
     unit. This ratio may be greater than 100% if the average customer
     subscribes to more than one premium service unit.



(14) Number of addressable homes reflects the number of homes with a converter
     box that enables the cable television operator to electronically control
     from its central facilities the cable television services delivered to the
     customer.

     The summary historical and pro forma financial data set forth below were
derived from our consolidated financial statements and the pro forma combined
financial statements for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and
1998. The summary statement of operations data for the years ended December 31,
1994, 1995, 1996, 1997 and 1998 were derived from our audited consolidated
financial statements. The summary pro forma data have been adjusted to
illustrate the estimated effects of the transactions as if they had occurred on
January 1, 1998 for the statement of operations data. The 1997 historical
financial statements have been restated to reflect a change in accounting for
cable system exchanges. See the notes to our financial statements included
elsewhere in the prospectus.

     Kentucky systems, and our equity interest in the Columbus system.



    Based upon our ownership interest in the national, Columbus and Indiana
    systems, and our interest in the Kentucky systems which is expected to be
    acquired in the second half of 1999, pro forma revenues and pro forma system
    cash flow approximated $244.5 million and $119.7 million for the year ended
    December 31, 1998 and $62.7 million and $31.2 million for the three-month
    period ended March 31, 1999. Pro forma revenues and pro forma system cash
    flow are not intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as
    alternatives to, or more meaningful than other measures in accordance with
    generally accepted accounting principles. The pro forma data exclude a
    one-time non-recurring charge to earnings to record a net deferred tax
    liability at December 31, 1998 and March 31, 1999 of approximately $45
    million and $50 million that would have been recognized upon the exchange of
    limited partnership interests in Insight Communications Company, L.P. for
    our common stock.



 (2) Pro forma loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss by
     53.4 million common shares outstanding after completion of this offering.



 (3) Represents earnings (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and
     amortization and, in 1998, with respect to the Columbus system, before
     severance and transaction structure costs of $4.8 million associated with
     the contribution of the Columbus system to Insight Ohio. Our management
     believes that EBITDA is a meaningful measure of performance as it is
     commonly used in the cable television industry to analyze and compare cable
     television companies on the basis of operating performance, leverage and
     liquidity. However, EBITDA is not intended to be a performance measure that
     should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, either
     operating income or net income as an indicator of operating performance or
          cash flows as a measure of liquidity, as determined in accordance with

                                              (Footnotes continued on next page)


                                       12

     generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA is not necessarily
     comparable to similarly titled amounts of other companies. See our
     financial statements, including the statements of cash flows, which are
     combined later in this prospectus.



(4) Represents EBITDA as a percent of total revenues.



 (5) Represents EBITDA before corporate overhead and management fees. Our
     management believes that system cash flow is a meaningful measure of
     performance as it is commonly used in the cable television industry to
     analyze and compare cable television companies on the basis of operating
     performance, leverage and liquidity. However, system cash flow is not
     intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an
     alternative to, or more meaningful than, either operating income or net
     income as an indicator of operating performance or cash flows as a measure
     of liquidity, as determined in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles. System cash flow is not necessarily comparable to
     similarly titled amounts of other companies. See our financial statements,
     including the Statements of Cash Flows, which are included later in this
     prospectus.



(6) Gives effect to the transactions as if they had each occurred on January 1,
    1999.

                                  RISK FACTORS


     You should carefully consider these risk factors, together with all of the
other information included in this prospectus, before you decide whether to
purchase shares of our Class A common stock.





WE HAVE A HISTORY OF NET LOSSES, AND MAY NOT BE PROFITABLE IN THE FUTURE



     We expect to incur additional net losses in the future, which could cause
our stock price to decline and adversely affect our access to capital markets.
We reported net loss applicable to the Class A units of $8.2 million,
$7.2 million and $8.2 million for the years ended December 31, 1994, 1995 and
1996. We reported net income applicable to the Class A and B units of
$58.6 million and $132.9 million for the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1998
and $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999, as a result of gains
resulting from swaps of cable systems. We have and will continue to have a
substantial amount of interest expense in respect of debt incurred and
depreciation and amortization expenses relating to acquisitions of cable systems
as well as expansion and rebuild programs. Such expenses have contributed to the
net losses we experienced. We expect that we will continue to incur such
non-operating expenses at increased levels as a result of our network rebuild
program and recent acquisitions, which expenses will result in continued net
losses.



WE HAVE A LIMITED HISTORY OF OPERATING OUR CURRENT CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS AND
THESE SYSTEMS MAY NOT GENERATE SALES AT OR EXCEEDING HISTORICAL LEVELS



     With only approximately 15% of our existing customers having been served by
us for greater than one year, we are still in the process of integrating our new
systems. After giving effect to recent and proposed transactions, our historical
financial information and the historical financial information of the Indiana
systems, the Columbus system and the Kentucky systems may not be indicative of
our future operating results. This makes it difficult for you to completely
evaluate our performance. We have grown rapidly since December 1997, and after
giving effect to our proposed transactions, would have completed three
acquisitions, three asset swaps and two joint ventures of cable television
systems. The Indiana joint venture with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, the
acquisition by Insight Ohio of the Columbus system, the proposed acquisition of
the Kentucky systems and the proposed provision of consulting services to the
managed Indiana systems, increases the number of customers served by systems we
own, operate and manage from approximately 180,000 to approximately 1,049,000.



THE KENTUCKY ACQUISITION MAY NOT BE COMPLETED AND, IF NOT COMPLETED, WE WILL
HAVE THE ABILITY TO APPLY SOME OF THE PROCEEDS OF THIS OFFERING TO FUND AS YET
UNIDENTIFIED ACQUISITIONS, INVESTMENTS OR JOINT VENTURES



     If the Kentucky acquisition is not completed, a significant portion of the
net proceeds from this offering will not be designated for a specific use.
Therefore, we will have broad discretion with respect to the use of such
proceeds. Accordingly, our investors may not have the opportunity to evaluate
the economic, financial and other relevant information that we may consider in
the application of the net proceeds.



     In April 1999, we entered into an agreement to purchase a 50% interest in
InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. for $335.0 million, including expenses,
subject to adjustment. The completion of this transaction is subject to several
conditions including:



     o Receipt or waiver of all necessary material consents from third parties;



     o Absence of any material adverse changes in the conditions, properties or
       business of the Kentucky systems; and



     o Notification, approval and compliance with the requirements of
       appropriate governmental agencies, including, without limitation,
       approval of cable television franchise authorities.



     If these conditions are not met, the Kentucky acquisition will not be
completed. There can be no assurance that the Kentucky acquisition will be
completed on the terms described in this prospectus, or at all. This offering is
not contingent or in any way dependent on the Kentucky acquisition.


                                       14


OTHER EQUITY OWNERS OF SOME OF OUR SYSTEMS MAY RESTRICT OUR ABILITY TO FURTHER
DEVELOP THOSE SYSTEMS, WHICH WOULD IMPAIR OUR ABILITY TO ACHIEVE OUR CURRENTLY
CONTEMPLATED BUSINESS STRATEGY



     The Indiana systems and the Columbus system are not, and the Kentucky
systems will not be, wholly owned by us. Under the terms of each of the
operating agreements between us and the other equity owners, the other equity
owners have approval rights for certain significant actions, including related
party transactions and specified asset sales, which may be taken with respect to
our systems. Such approval rights may interfere with our future operating
strategies and restrict us from taking actions our board of directors considers
to be in your best interests.



     Commencing on October 30, 2003, AT&T Broadband & Internet Services has the
right to require us to redeem its 50% interest in Insight Indiana. If the
Kentucky acquisition is completed, AT&T Broadband & Internet Services will have
a similar right with respect to its 50% interest in the proposed joint venture
for the Kentucky systems. If AT&T Broadband & Internet Services elects to redeem
its interest, we may not have sufficient cash available or be able to obtain
financing on acceptable terms to redeem its interest. Our failure to obtain
acceptable financing upon such election could force us to sell assets at
unfavorable prices in order to generate the cash needed to redeem AT&T Broadband
& Internet Services' interests. If we were to issue shares of common stock to
effect this redemption, this:



     o would result in substantial dilution to other stockholders;



     o could adversely affect the market price of the common stock; and



     o could impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of
       our equity securities.


We may in the future enter into other joint venture agreements that have similar
redemption provisions. See "Description of Recent Transactions--The Transactions
to Acquire the Indiana Systems" and "--The Transactions to Acquire the Kentucky
Systems."


OUR PROGRAMMING COSTS ARE SUBSTANTIAL AND THEY MAY INCREASE, WHICH COULD RESULT
IN A DECREASE IN PROFITABILITY IF WE ARE UNABLE TO PASS THAT INCREASE ON TO OUR
CUSTOMERS



     In recent years the cable industry has experienced a rapid escalation in
the cost of programming, and sports programming in particular. For 1997 and
1998, programming costs for our top 20 cable programming channels, excluding
premium channels, as ranked by Nielsen Media Research, increased approximately
11.0% and 18.6%. Our cable programming services are dependent upon our ability
to procure programming that is attractive to our customers at reasonable rates.
The escalation in programming costs may continue and we may not be able to pass
programming cost increases on to our customers. Our financial condition and
results of operations could therefore be negatively impacted by further
increases in programming costs. Programming has been and is expected to continue
to be our largest single expense item and accounted for approximately 41.3% and
43.8% of our total operating expenses for the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1998.



WE COULD LOSE OUR CURRENT ACCESS TO FAVORABLE PROGRAMMING SERVICE RATES AND
EXPERIENCE INCREASES IN PROGRAMMING COSTS AS A RESULT



     Because of our relationship with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, we
have the right to purchase programming services for the Indiana systems and,
upon completion of the Kentucky acquisition, for the Kentucky systems, at AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services' cost plus a small administrative surcharge. We
believe that the cost of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' programming
services is lower than the cost we would incur if we purchased such programming
services independently. If AT&T Broadband & Internet Services was not to
continue as our significant partner and we were unable to enter into a similar
arrangement, we believe our programming costs would increase. Loss of access to
programming services at such favorable rates could have a material adverse
effect on our financial condition and results of operations.



     Since 1986, MediaOne Group, Inc., formerly known as Continental
Cablevision, Inc., has held a significant interest in Insight allowing us to buy
programming services for the national systems and the Columbus system at
MediaOne's cost. Under a 1997 agreement with MediaOne, we will redeem MediaOne's
interest in Insight in November 1999. At such time, we will no longer be
entitled to buy programming


                                       15


services at MediaOne's cost. We believe we will experience some increases in
programming costs for the national systems and the Columbus system. Loss of
access to programming services at such favorable rates could have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.


     You should read "Business--Programming Supply" for additional information
concerning programming service rates.


IF WE ARE UNABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE OUR NEWLY ACQUIRED CABLE SYSTEMS OUR
BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED



     The integration of new cable systems will place significant demands on our
management and our operational, financial and marketing resources. After giving
effect to our proposed transactions, we would have completed since December
1997, three acquisitions, three asset swaps and two joint ventures of cable
systems and approximately 85% of our customers would have been acquired through
such acquisitions and other transactions. We expect to continue to acquire and
enter into swaps and joint ventures with respect to cable systems as an element
of our business strategy. Our current operating and financial systems and
controls may not be adequate and any steps taken to improve these systems and
controls may not be sufficient. Our business, financial condition and results of
operations could suffer materially if we fail to successfully integrate and
manage new cable systems in a timely manner.



AS WE INTRODUCE NEW AND ENHANCED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES, A FAILURE TO PREDICT AND
REACT TO CONSUMER DEMAND OR SUCCESSFULLY INTEGRATE NEW TECHNOLOGY COULD
ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS



     Introduction of new and enhanced products and services includes various
risks. The cable television industry is in the early stages of introducing new
and enhanced products and services utilizing new technology allowing for
products such as video-on-demand, high-speed Internet access and voice telephone
services. In order to successfully introduce new and enhanced products and
services, we must anticipate and meet the demand for new products and services,
as well as integrate technology. Our inability to effectively introduce, market
and sell new and enhanced products and services or to anticipate consumer demand
for such products and services could have a material adverse effect on our
business, results of operations, prospects and financial condition. You should
read the discussion under "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for
additional information concerning our anticipated capital expenditures to fund
these new and enhanced products and services and the discussion under
"Business--New and Enhanced Products and Services" for additional information
concerning the new and enhanced products and services that we are preparing to
introduce to our customers. You should also read "Business--Competition" for
additional information.



IF WE WERE TO LOSE MEMBERS OF OUR SENIOR MANAGEMENT AND COULD NOT FIND
APPROPRIATE REPLACEMENTS IN A TIMELY MANNER, OUR BUSINESS COULD BE ADVERSELY
AFFECTED



     If any member of our senior management team becomes unable or unwilling to
participate in our business and operations, our profitability could suffer. Our
success is substantially dependent upon the retention of, and the continued
performance by, our senior management, including Sidney Knafel, Chairman of the
Board of Directors, Michael Willner, President and Chief Executive Officer, and
Kim Kelly, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer.
We do not have an employment agreement with any member of our senior management
team. You should read the discussion under "Management--Directors and Executive
Officers" for information concerning the experience of these individuals.



     Our success will also depend upon our ability to attract and retain
personnel for customer relations and field operations. We continually need to
hire, integrate and retain personnel for positions which require a higher level
of technical expertise and the ability to communicate technical concepts to our
customers. There is no guarantee that we will be able to recruit or retain these
skilled workers. Failure to do so could impair our ability to operate
efficiently and maintain our reputation for high quality service. This could
also impair our ability to retain current customers and attract new customers
which could cause our financial performance to decline.


                                       16


THE COMPETITION WE FACE FROM OTHER CABLE NETWORKS AND ALTERNATIVE SERVICE
PROVIDERS MAY CAUSE US TO LOSE MARKET SHARE



     The impact from competition, particularly from direct broadcast satellite
television systems and companies that overbuild in our market areas, has
resulted in a decrease in customer growth rates. The annualized growth rate for
basic customers was 1.7% in March 1999 as compared to 3.5% in March 1997 while
satellite penetration as of March 1999 averaged 11.4% nationwide, up from 7.4%
in March 1997. The percentage of customers taking the basic only level of
service was 6.0% in March 1999 as compared to 4.4% in March 1997 and premium
customer penetration declined to 22.8% of total customers as compared to 25.5%
for the same two-year period. This in turn has negatively impacted our financial
performance. Increased competition may continue to impact our financial
performance. Many of our potential competitors have substantially greater
resources than us, and we cannot predict the market share our competitors will
eventually achieve, nor can we predict their ability to develop products which
will compete with our planned new and enhanced products and services such as
high-speed data access and video-on-demand.



     Competition in geographic areas where a secondary franchise is obtained and
a cable network is constructed under the terms of the franchise is called
"overbuilding." A cable subsidiary of Ameritech Corporation, the telephone local
exchange carrier in Columbus, Ohio, has overbuilt a majority of the homes passed
by our Columbus system. In addition, a joint venture which is a related party of
Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Co. is overbuilding a portion of our
Evansville, Indiana system and there is a small overbuild by FrontierVision of
our Kentucky systems relating to approximately 7,400 homes in Boone County,
Kentucky. We cannot predict whether competition from these or future competitors
will have a material effect on us and our business and operations.




You should read "Business--Competition" for additional information.


OUR NON-EXCLUSIVE FRANCHISES ARE SUBJECT TO NON-RENEWAL OR TERMINATION, WHICH
COULD CAUSE US TO LOSE OUR RIGHT TO OPERATE SOME OF OUR SYSTEMS



     Cable television companies operate under non-exclusive franchises granted
by local authorities which are subject to renewal and renegotiation from time to
time. Our cable systems are dependent upon the retention and renewal of their
respective local franchises. A franchise is generally granted for a fixed term
ranging from five to fifteen years, but in many cases is terminable if the
franchisee fails to comply with its material provisions. Franchises typically
impose conditions relating to the operation of the cable television system,
including requirements relating to the payment of fees, system bandwidth
capacity, customer service, franchise renewal and termination. No assurance can
be given that our cable systems will be able to retain or renew such franchises
or that the terms of any such renewals will be on terms as favorable as their
respective existing franchises. Furthermore, it is possible that a franchise
authority might grant a franchise to another cable company or a local utility or
telephone company. The non-renewal or termination of franchises or the granting
of competing franchises with respect to a significant portion of any of our
cable systems would have a material adverse effect on our ability to provide
service to current or future customers and on our financial performance. You
should read the discussion under "Business--Franchises" for additional
information concerning our franchises.



OUR BUSINESS HAS BEEN AND CONTINUES TO BE SUBJECT TO EXTENSIVE GOVERNMENTAL
LEGISLATION AND REGULATION, AND CHANGES IN THIS LEGISLATION AND REGULATION COULD
INCREASE OUR COSTS OF COMPLIANCE AND REDUCE THE PROFITABILITY OF OUR BUSINESS



     The cable television industry is subject to extensive legislation and
regulation at the federal and local levels, and, in some instances, at the state
level, and many aspects of such regulation are currently the subject of judicial
proceedings and administrative or legislative proposals. The rules and
regulations governing our business have at times had a material adverse effect
on our business. For example, rules issued under the Cable Television Consumer
Protection and Competition Act of 1992, resulted in significant reductions in
our pricing which reduced operating cash flow and our ability to support capital
rebuild programs. In addition, operating in a regulated industry increases the
cost of doing business generally. We may also become subject to additional
regulatory burdens and related increased costs. As we continue to offer
telecommunication


                                       17


services, we may be required to obtain federal, state and local licenses or
other authorizations to offer such services. We may not be able to obtain such
licenses or authorizations in a timely manner, or at all, or conditions could be
imposed upon such licenses and authorizations that may not be favorable to us.
Future changes in legislation or regulations could have an adverse impact on us
and our business operations. You should read "Legislation and Regulation" for
additional information.



WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF INDEBTEDNESS AND SUCH INDEBTEDNESS REQUIRES US
TO COMPLY WITH VARIOUS FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESTRICTIONS, AND MAY ADVERSELY
AFFECT OUR ABILITY TO OBTAIN FINANCING IN THE FUTURE AND REACT TO CHANGES IN OUR
BUSINESS



     We have a significant amount of debt. We borrowed this money to fund our
acquisitions and for capital expenditures such as expanding and rebuilding our
network. As of March 31, 1999, after giving effect to our proposed transactions,
our consolidated indebtedness would have totaled approximately $1.2 billion.


     Our level of outstanding indebtedness can have material adverse
consequences to us and to you. These consequences include:

     o Our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for capital
       expenditures, acquisitions, working capital or other purposes may be
       limited;

     o A material portion of our cash flow from operations will be dedicated to
       the payment of, and interest on, our debt; and

     o This indebtedness may limit our ability to withstand competitive
       pressures and reduce our flexibility in responding to changing business
       and economic conditions.

     In addition, such indebtedness subjects us and each of our subsidiaries to
various financial and operating restrictions and covenants which could limit our
ability to compete as well as our ability to expand. Such restrictions and
covenants may, among other things, include:

     o A limit on the amount of additional indebtedness that may be incurred and
       the ability to pay dividends or make capital contributions;


     o A limit on investments, loans and other payments, transactions with
       related parties and mergers and acquisitions; and



     o A requirement to maintain specified financial ratios and meet financial
       tests.


     Our and our subsidiaries' ability to comply with such restrictions and
covenants can be affected by events beyond our control, and there can be no
assurance that we or our subsidiaries will achieve operating results that would
permit compliance with such terms. A failure to comply with the covenants and
other terms of the indebtedness could result in events of default, which could
permit acceleration of the debt.

     There can be no assurance that we will continue to generate cash and obtain
financing sufficient to meet our debt service, capital expenditure and working
capital obligations. You should read the discussion under "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Liquidity and Capital Resources" for additional information.


EXISTING STOCKHOLDERS MAY SELL THEIR COMMON STOCK AFTER THE OFFERING, WHICH
COULD HURT THE MARKET PRICE OF OUR COMMON STOCK



     We cannot predict the effect, if any, that future sales of shares, or the
availability of shares for future sale, will have on the market price of the
Class A common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of common stock, or the
perception that such sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market
prices for the Class A common stock.



     Upon completion of the exchange of partnership interests for common stock
and without giving effect to this offering, there will be 32,933,230 shares of
common stock outstanding. At any time commencing six months after this offering,
Vestar, who will hold 10,096,079 of such shares of common stock, will be
entitled to demand registration of its shares under the Securities Act of 1933
at our expense. All of the shares of


                                       18


common stock issued and exchanged for partnership interests also may be sold
under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, depending on the holding period of such
securities and subject to significant restrictions in the case of shares held by
persons deemed to be our related parties.



     We, as well as our officers, our directors, our stockholders prior to this
offering and our employees who purchase in excess of 100 shares in this
offering, have agreed not to offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose
of any common stock for a period of 180 days after the date of this prospectus
without the written consent of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation.



MEMBERS OF MANAGEMENT, AS MAJOR STOCKHOLDERS, POSSESS UNEQUAL VOTING RIGHTS
RESULTING IN THE ABILITY TO CONTROL ALL MAJOR CORPORATE DECISIONS, AND OTHER
SHAREHOLDERS MAY BE UNABLE TO INFLUENCE THESE CORPORATE DECISIONS



     We have two classes of common stock--Class A which carries one vote per
share and Class B which carries ten votes per share. Upon the completion of this
offering, investors in this offering will own 46.8% of the outstanding Class A
common stock. Our directors and executive officers will own 100% of the
outstanding Class B common stock. As a result of their stock ownership, our
directors and executive officers will have the power to elect all of our
directors and control stockholder decisions on other matters such as amendments
to our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and mergers or other fundamental
corporate transactions. The interests of our controlling stockholders, including
our management, may conflict with the interests of the other holders of Class A
common stock.


     The disproportionate voting rights of the Class A common stock relative to
the Class B common stock may make us a less attractive target for a takeover
than we otherwise might be or render more difficult or discourage a merger
proposal or a tender offer.


IF OUR COMPUTER SYSTEMS OR THOSE OF THIRD PARTIES WITH WHOM WE DO BUSINESS ARE
NOT YEAR 2000 COMPLIANT, OUR OPERATIONS MAY BE DISRUPTED


     We are evaluating the impact of the Year 2000 problem on our business
operations, as well as our products and services. Areas that could be adversely
impacted by the Year 2000 problem include the following:

     o Information processing and financial reporting systems;

     o Customer billing systems;

     o Customer service systems;


     o Cable headend equipment and advertising insertion equipment; and


     o Services from third-party vendors.


     System failure or miscalculation could result in an inability to process
transactions, send invoices, accept customer orders or provide customers with
products and services. We presently do not have a formal contingency plan in
place if we or any third parties with whom we have material relationships
sustain business interruptions caused by Year 2000 problems.


     For a description of our Year 2000 compliance efforts you should read
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations--Year 2000 Compliance."


THIS PROSPECTUS INCLUDES FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS THAT MAY NOT BE ACCURATE
INDICATORS OF OUR FUTURE PERFORMANCE


     Some of the information in this prospectus contains forward-looking
statements that involve substantial risks and uncertainties. You can identify
these statements by forward-looking words such as "may," "will," "expect,"
"anticipate," "believe," "estimate," and "continue" or similar words. You should
read statements that contain these words carefully because they:


     o discuss our future expectations;


                                       19


     o contain projections of our future results of operations or of our
       financial condition; or



     o state other "forward-looking" information.


     We believe it is important to communicate our expectations to our
investors. However, there may be events in the future that we are not able to
accurately predict or over which we have no control. The risk factors listed in
this section, as well as any cautionary language in this prospectus, provide
examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to
differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking
statements. Before you invest in our Class A common stock, you should be aware
that the occurrence of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere
in this prospectus could have a material adverse effect on our business,
operating results and financial condition.

                                       20



                                USE OF PROCEEDS


     The estimated net proceeds from the sale of the 20,500,000 shares of Class
A common stock offered by us will be approximately $422.0 million, or
approximately $485.4 million if the underwriters' over-allotment option is
exercised in full, after deducting the estimated underwriting discounts and
offering expenses.


     We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering to finance:


o the Kentucky acquisition and the related fees which we estimate to be
  $335.0 million; and



          o the introduction of new and enhanced products and services for our
            customers, other strategic acquisitions and general corporate
            activities which we estimate to be $87.0 million.



     You should read the discussion under "Business--The Systems--The Kentucky
Systems" for further information concerning the Kentucky systems and
"Business--Products and Services--New and Enhanced Products and
Services--Telephony" for further information concerning the joint venture with
AT&T. The amounts actually spent by us may vary significantly and will depend on
a number of factors, including our future revenues and the other factors
described under "Risk Factors." We continually evaluate potential acquisition
candidates, but we have not reached any agreements, commitments or
understandings for any future acquisitions except for the Kentucky acquisition.
There is no assurance that any additional acquisitions will be identified or
completed.



     Pending our use of the net proceeds of this offering, approximately $87.0
million will temporarily reduce the debt outstanding under our senior revolving
credit facility and the remainder will be invested in short-term investment
grade investments. We expect that the Kentucky acquisition will be completed
during the second half of 1999. There can be no assurance that the Kentucky
acquisition will be completed on the terms described in this prospectus, or at
all. This offering is not contingent or in any way dependent on the Kentucky
acquisition. If the Kentucky acquisition is not completed, a significant portion
of the net proceeds from this offering will not be designated for a specific
use. See "Risk Factors--The Kentucky acquisition may not be completed and if not
completed, we will have the ability to apply some of the proceeds of this
offering to fund as yet unidentified acquisitions, investments or joint
ventures."



     As of March 31, 1999, there was approximately $124.1 million outstanding
under the Insight credit facility which has a final maturity in December 2005.
For the quarter ended March 31, 1999, the interest rates for loans outstanding
under the Insight credit facility ranged from approximately 7.0% to 7.4% and the
weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 1999 was 7.2%. Loans obtained
under the Insight credit facility during the past 12 months were for the rebuild
of our cable network, the introduction of new and enhanced products and services
for our customers, strategic acquisitions and general corporate activities. You
should read the discussion under "Description of Certain Indebtedness--Credit
Facilities" for further information about the Insight credit facility.


                                DIVIDEND POLICY


     We have never paid any cash dividends and intend, for the foreseeable
future, to retain any future earnings for the development of our business. The
Insight credit facility restricts our ability to pay dividends. Our future
dividend policy will be determined by the Board of Directors on the basis of

       Class A common stock at an assumed initial public offering price of
       $22.00 per share, after deducting the underwriting discount and estimated
       offering expenses payable by us in this offering;



     o The application of the net proceeds therefrom as described under "Use of
       Proceeds."




And as further adjusted:

(6) Since the financial statements of Insight Ohio, which contain the financial
    information of the Columbus system, are not consolidated with the financial
    statements of Insight, total long-term debt does not include any debt under
    the Insight Ohio credit facility. There was no debt outstanding under the
    Insight Ohio credit facility as of March 31, 1999. There was approximately
    $25.0 million of unused credit commitments, of which approximately
    $25.0 million could have been borrowed under the most restrictive covenants
    of the Insight Ohio credit facility. Insight Ohio has guaranteed on a

                                    DILUTION


     The difference between the public offering price per share of our Class A
common stock and the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our Class A
and Class B common stock after this offering constitutes the dilution to
investors in this offering. Net tangible book value per share is determined by
dividing our net tangible book value (total tangible assets less total
liabilities) by the number of outstanding shares of Class A and Class B common
stock.



     As of March 31, 1999, our net tangible book value was a deficit of $479.4
million (after consideration of the conversion of redeemable Class B units into
our common stock and the recognition of a $50 million deferred tax liability
that would have been recognized upon the exchange of limited partnership
interests for common stock in a corporation), or $14.56 per share of Class A and
Class B common stock prior to the issuance of shares pursuant to this offering.
After giving effect to the sale of 20,500,000 shares of our Class A common stock
at an assumed initial public offering price of $22.00 per share, which is the
mid-point of the estimated range of the initial public offering price, less the
estimated expenses of this offering, our pro forma net negative tangible book
value as of March 31, 1999 would have been $57.4 million, or $1.07 per share of
Class A and Class B common stock, representing an immediate decrease in our net
negative tangible book value of $13.48 per share to current stockholders and an
immediate dilution of $23.07 per share to new investors. The following table
illustrates the foregoing information as of March 31, 1999 with respect to
dilution to new investors on a per share basis:

Dilution per share to new investors(2)(3).................................              $23.07
                                                                                        ------
                                                                                        ------



- ------------------
(1) After deducting the underwriting discounts and estimated expenses payable by
    us in this offering.


(2) Does not give effect to the Kentucky acquisition which is expected to
    further increase the net negative tangible book value per share to $17.67.


(3) Dilution is determined by subtracting net tangible book value per share
    after giving effect to this offering from the assumed initial public
    offering price paid by new investors.


     The following table sets forth, with respect to our current stockholders
and new investors, a comparison of the number of shares of common stock acquired

     These computations do not give effect to either of the following:


     o 750,000 shares of Class A common stock and 2,250,000 shares of Class B
       common stock issuable upon exercise of stock options to be outstanding
       upon completion of this offering, none of which will be then exercisable;
       and



     o 2,000,000 additional shares of common stock reserved for issuance under
       our stock option plan.


     To the extent that shares of common stock are issued in connection with the
stock option arrangements, there will be further dilution to new investors.

                          PRO FORMA FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


     The following table sets forth selected pro forma financial information and
other data of the national, Columbus, Indiana and Kentucky systems and the
managed Indiana systems and pro forma adjusted financial information for the
national, Columbus, Indiana and Kentucky systems which have been adjusted to
illustrate the estimated effects of the following transactions as if they had
occurred on January 1, 1999 with respect to transactions that occurred in 1999
and January 1, 1998 with respect to transactions that occurred in 1998:





     o the acquisition by us of the Rockford system on January 22, 1998;





     o the acquisition of the Columbus system by Insight Ohio on August 21,
       1998;



     o the formation of Insight Indiana and related contribution of systems by
       AT&T Broadband & Internet Services and us on October 31, 1998;



     o the systems exchange on March 22, 1999 between Falcon and us, in which we
       swapped our Franklin system in exchange for Falcon's Scottsburg system
       and cash;





     o the acquisition by us of the Portland system on March 31, 1999;



     o the proposed acquisition by us of the Kentucky systems, which is expected
       to be completed in the second half of 1999;



     o the proposed provision of consulting services to the managed Indiana
       systems, which is expected to commence during the fourth quarter of 1999;

       Company, L.P. for our common stock; and





     o the receipt of approximately $422.0 million of net proceeds in
       connection with this offering.



     The 1998 pro forma statement of operations does not include the receipt of
management fees by us from Insight Indiana or management fees from the Kentucky
systems as those amounts would eliminate in consolidation. The 1998 pro forma
statement of operations does not purport to be indicative of what our results of
operations would actually have been had the above transactions been completed on
the dates indicated or to project our results of operations for any future date.
When you read the 1998 pro forma statement of operations, it is important that
you read along with it our historical financial statements and related notes,
and the historical financial statements and related notes of the TCI Insight
Systems, which are the systems contributed to Insight Indiana by AT&T Broadband
& Internet Services, Insight Ohio, TCI IPVI Systems, which are the Kentucky
systems prior to April 30, 1998, and InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P., which
are the Kentucky systems subsequent to April 30, 1998, which are included
elsewhere in this prospectus.



     The pro forma financial statements exclude a one-time non-recurring charge
to earnings to record a net deferred tax liability at December 31, 1998 and at
March 31, 1999 of approximately $45.0 million and $50.0 million that would have
been recognized upon the exchange of limited partnership interests in Insight
Communcations Company, L.P. for our common stock.



     The data included in the pro forma statement of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1999 under the column headings "National (as reported),"

                                       25


          o ten months of operating results of our Utah systems which were
            swapped for the Evansville and Jasper systems;





          o the full year's operating results of the Indiana systems
            contributed by us to Insight Indiana;



          o two months of the operating results of the TCI Insight Systems,
            which are the systems contributed to Insight Indiana by AT&T
            Broadband & Internet Services;



          o the operating results of the Rockford system since January 22, 1998;

            InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. for the period from April 30,
            1998 through December 31, 1998.



     The data included in the pro forma balance sheet for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 under the column headings "National (as reported)," "Indiana
Adjustments" and "Kentucky (as reported)" represent:



     o National (as reported):



          o the assets and liabilities of the Scottsburg, Portland, Claremont,
            Griffin and Rockford systems; and



          o the Indiana systems.

            AT&T Broadband & Internet Services.



     o Kentucky (as reported):





o the assets and liabilities of InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P.



     The financial data of Kentucky represents the combination of the results of
TCI IPVI Systems from January 1, 1998 through April 30, 1998 and InterMedia
Capital Partners VI, L.P. from April 30, 1998 through December 31, 1998. The
combination of the two periods is not necessarily indicative of what the results
of InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. or TCI IPVI would have been for the
year. We have consolidated the Kentucky systems in the accompanying pro forma
financial statements as after we acquire our 50% interest we will control its
operations.



     All references to our performance on a pro forma basis give effect to the
national systems, the Columbus system, the Indiana systems, the Kentucky
acquisition and, except in the technical discussion of headends, network miles,
fiber nodes, network capacity and density, the provision of consulting services
to the managed Indiana systems as if acquired or serviced at the beginning of
the related period or as of the applicable date, and to adjustments made to our
historical financial statements that present our financial information as if
shares of common stock, rather than limited partnership interests, were
outstanding and as if we were taxed as a C corporation in all periods presented.



     Pro forma proportional basis represents our 100% ownership interest in the
national systems, our 75% ownership interest in the Columbus system, and our 50%
ownership interest in the Indiana and Kentucky systems as if acquired at the
beginning of the applicable period or as of the applicable date. Pro forma
proportional basis revenues and pro forma proportional basis EBITDA are not
intended to be performance measures that should be regarded as an alternative
to, or more meaningful than our net income as determined in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles. We have included pro forma

NOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS FOR THE YEAR ENDED
DECEMBER 31, 1999



  (A) Does not include management fees received by us from Insight Indiana and
      the Kentucky systems in the amount of 3% of revenues as such amounts would
      be eliminated upon consolidation.



  (B) Excludes a one-time non-recurring charge to earnings to record a net
      deferred tax liability at December 31, 1998 of approximately $45 million
      that would have been recognized upon the exchange of limited partnership
      interests for common stock in a corporation. Prior to such exchange of
      limited partnership interests into common stock of a corporation, Insight
      Communications Company, L.P.'s operating results were included in the
      individual income tax returns of its partners.



  (C) Eliminates operating results of: (1) the systems contributed by us to
      Insight Indiana for ten months; and (2) Insight Indiana for two months.



  (D) Eliminates operating results of the Utah systems for ten months.





  (E) Includes operating results of the Rockford system from January 1, 1998 to
      January 21, 1998.





  (F) Eliminates the operating results of the Franklin system.



  (G) Includes the operating results of the Scottsburg system.





  (H) Includes the Insight Ohio management fee from January 1, 1998 to August
      21, 1998.





  (I) Includes the full year's operating results of the Portland system.



  (J) Includes the managed Indiana systems' consulting fee for the full year.
      Consulting fee is equal to 3% of gross revenues ($48,833,000 x 3%).





  (K) Eliminates gains from cable system exchange and gain on contribution of
     systems to Insight Indiana.





  (L) Adjusts interest expense to reflect our contribution of debt to Insight
      Indiana.



 (M) Eliminates AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' minority interest in Insight
     Indiana and our equity in losses of Insight Ohio.





  (N) Records our 75% non-voting equity interest in Insight Ohio.



  (O) Includes the amortization of the difference between our investment in
      Insight Ohio and Insight Ohio's underlying members deficit, which is
      members' deficit at the date of acquisition multiplied by our 75% interest
      in Insight Ohio divided by a 12 1/2 year amortization period.



  (P) Includes ten months of operating results of our systems contributed to
      Insight Indiana and two months of operating results of Insight Indiana.



  (Q) Adjusts interest expense related to $214.5 million of contributed debt of
      AT&T Broadband & Internet Services at an annual interest rate of 8.2% as
      if such contribution had occurred on January 1, 1998.



  (R) Eliminates income tax provision due to pro forma combined net loss. No
      provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for
      federal, state or local income taxes since income or losses of the
      partnership are reportable by the individual partners in their respective
      tax returns.



  (S) Includes additional depreciation and amortization related to step-up in
      value of the Insight Indiana systems for ten months. See Notes C and D of
      our consolidated financial statements.



  (T) These adjustments are included in order to combine the full year's results
      of operations of the national, Columbus and Indiana systems.





  (U) Includes AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' minority interest in Insight
      Indiana.



  (V) Includes additional amortization related to step-up in value of intangible
      assets pertaining to the Kentucky systems of $281.4 million over a period
      of fifteen years.





  (W) Eliminates income tax provision due to pro forma combined net loss.



  (X) Includes reduction in interest expense related to the paydown of
      $87 million of debt from the proceeds of this offering assuming an annual
      interest rate of 8.2%.





  (Y) Includes AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' minority interest in the
      Kentucky systems.



  (Z) Pro forma loss per share is calculated based on common shares outstanding
      of 52.9 million upon completion of this offering.

                INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS PRO FORMA OPERATING DATA





In the table below we provide you with pro forma operating data as follows:



o national systems, which includes the Rockford, Griffin and Claremont systems.
The operating data of the Scottsburg system and the Portland system, which are
wholly-owned by us, are included with the Indiana systems since they are managed
by Insight Indiana;



o Columbus system, which was acquired by Insight Ohio on August 21, 1998. See
"Description of Recent Transactions--The Transactions to Acquire the Columbus
System;"



o Indiana systems, which were contributed to Insight Indiana on October 31,
1998. Also includes the operating data of the Scottsburg system, which was
acquired on March 22, 1999, and the Portland system, which was acquired on March
31, 1999, since these systems are managed by Insight Indiana. See "Description
of Recent Transactions--The Transactions to Acquire the Indiana Systems;"



o Kentucky systems, in which we expect to acquire a 50% ownership interest
during the second half of 1999. We expect that we will control the operations of
the Kentucky systems and, therefore, consolidate the operating results. There
can be no assurance that the acquisition of the Kentucky systems will be
completed. See "Description of Recent Transactions--The Transactions to Acquire
the Kentucky Systems;"



o managed Indiana systems, in which we expect to provide consulting services to
the managed Indiana systems commencing in the fourth quarter of 1999. There can
be no assurance this transaction will be completed;

have an equity ownership of 100%, the Columbus system in which we have a
non-voting equity ownership of 75%, the Indiana systems in which we have an
equity ownership of 50%, the Kentucky systems in which we have an equity
ownership of 50% and the managed Indiana systems in which we have no ownership
interest, giving effect only to our pro forma percentage equity ownership in
such systems.

           SELECTED CONSOLIDATED HISTORICAL FINANCIAL AND OTHER DATA


     In the table below, we provide you with selected consolidated historical
information and other operating data of Insight. We have prepared the
consolidated selected financial information using our consolidated financial
statements for the five years ended December 31, 1998 and for the three-month
periods ended March 31, 1998 and 1999. In our opinion, the unaudited financial
data for the three-month periods have been prepared on the same basis as the
audited consolidated financial statements and include all normal recurring
adjustments and accruals necessary for a fair presentation of such information.
The 1997 historical financial statements have been restated to reflect a change
in accounting for cable system exchanges. See the notes to our financial
statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. When you read this selected
consolidated historical financial and other data, it is important that you read
along with it the historical financial statements and related notes in our
consolidated financial statements included herein, as well as "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," also
included in this prospectus.

    performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more
    meaningful than, either operating income or net income as an indicator of
    operating performance or cash flows as a measure of liquidity, as determined
    in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. EBITDA, as
    computed by management is not necessarily comparable to similarly titled

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

INTRODUCTION


     Because of the recently completed and pending corporate transactions,
including the contribution agreement with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
with respect to the Indiana systems and the Kentucky acquisition, we do not
believe the discussion and analysis of our historical financial condition and
results of operations below are indicative of our future performance. In the
contribution agreement with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, we exchanged our
Utah systems for AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' Evansville, Indiana system
and simultaneously contributed all of our Indiana systems including Evansville
and AT&T Broadband & Internet Services contributed most of its Indiana systems
into the joint venture. The financial results and analysis include the results
of the acquisition of the Rockford, Illinois system from January 22, 1998, the
contribution agreement with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services since
October 31, 1998, and Columbus system management fees since August 21, 1998.
Because of the timing of these corporate transactions, coupled with the expected
close of the Kentucky acquisition in the second half of 1999, our future
operating results are likely to be substantially different from what is
presented in the following analysis.


GENERAL


     Substantially all of our historical revenues were earned from customer fees
for cable television programming services including premium and pay-per-view
services and ancillary services, such as rental of converters and remote control
devices and installations, and from selling advertising. In addition, we earn
revenues from commissions for products sold through home shopping networks and,
since August 21, 1998, from management fees for managing Insight Ohio.


     We have generated increases in revenues and EBITDA for each of the past
three fiscal years primarily through internal customer growth, increases in
monthly revenue per customer and growth in advertising and specifically in 1998
from acquisitions, swaps and a joint venture.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


     The following table is derived for the periods presented from our
consolidated financial statements that are included in this prospectus and sets
forth certain statement of operations data for our consolidated operations. The
1997 historical financial statements have been restated to reflect a change in
accounting for cable system exchanges. See the notes to our financial statements
included elsewhere in this prospectus.

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1999 COMPARED TO THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1998



     Revenues increased 96.0% to $45.3 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. The results
were impacted by an exchange and contribution agreement with AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services completed on October 31, 1998. Our results for the three
months ended March 31, 1998 include revenue from our Utah systems, which were
exchanged as part of the joint venture with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services.
The incremental revenue generated from AT&T Broadband & Internet Services'
contributed systems approximated $17.1 million accounting for 76.0% of the
consolidated revenue increase. In addition, revenues increased as a result of
internal customer growth, rate increases and growth in advertising revenues.
Excluding the systems contributed by AT&T Broadband & Internet Services,
revenues increased by approximately $3.1 million due to an increase of 10,549
customers on average, and by approximately $700,000 attributable to customer
rate increases.



     Revenues per customer per month averaged $35.91 for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 compared to $31.16 for the three months ended March 31, 1998
primarily reflecting an increase in advertising revenue per customer per month
which averaged $2.44 during the first three months of 1999 compared to $1.03
accounting for approximately 10.4% of the total revenue increase during the
comparable period in 1998.




     Programming and other operating costs increased 104.9% to $13.3 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1998. The Indiana systems contributed by AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services accounted for approximately 69.2% or approximately $4.7 million of the
total increase. Excluding these systems, these costs increased by approximately
$1.3 million accounting for 18.6% of the total increase, primarily as a result
of increased programming costs and additional programming carried by our
systems.



     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 102.7% to
$10.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 1998 primarily reflecting increased marketing activity
associated with new product introductions and increased corporate expenses.



     Depreciation and amortization expense increased 343.7% to $25.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 1998. This increase was primarily due to the acquisitions and
additional capital expenditures associated with the rebuilds of our systems.



     For the three months ended March 31, 1999, an operating loss of
$3.8 million was incurred as compared to operating income of $5.9 million for
the three months ended March 31, 1998, primarily due to increased depreciation
and amortization.



     EBITDA increased 88.0% to $21.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 1999 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998 reflecting
the acquisitions plus the results of the items described above.



     Interest expense increased 81.8% to $10.5 million for the three months
ended March 31, 1999 compared to the three months ended March 31, 1998. The
increase was primarily due to higher average outstanding indebtedness related to
acquisitions. Average debt outstanding during the first three months of 1999 was
$583.2 million at an average interest rate of 7.2%.



     Net income increased to $7.2 million for the three months ended March 31,
1999 primarily reflecting gains related to system swaps aggregating
$19.8 million. Excluding these gains, we generated a net loss totaling
$12.5 million.



     The March 31, 1999 financial statements exclude a one-time non-recurring
charge to earnings to record a net deferred tax liability at March 31, 1999 of
approximately $50 million that would have been recognized upon the exchange of
limited partnership interests in Insight Communications Company L.P. for our
common stock. The aforementioned financial statements also exclude a one-time
$17.1 million non-cash compensation charge associated with the distribution of
shares resulting from the general partner's share of Class B unit allocation,
to certain of our employees.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1998 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997


     Revenues increased 66.8% to $112.9 million for the year ended December 31,
1998 as compared to the prior year. The results were impacted by two significant
transactions including: (a) on January 22, 1998 we purchased the Rockford,
Illinois system which contributed $23.1 million of revenue during the year
accounting for 51.1% of the total increase in consolidated revenue, and (b) on
October 31, 1998, we completed an exchange and contribution agreement with AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services. Our 1998 results include revenue from our Utah
systems, which were exchanged as part of the joint venture with AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services, for the first ten months and for Insight Indiana for the last
two months. The incremental revenue generated from AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services' contributed systems approximated $11.2 million accounting for 24.8% of
the consolidated revenue increase. In addition, revenues increased as a result
of internal customer growth, rate increases and growth in advertising revenues.
Excluding the systems contributed by AT&T Broadband & Internet Services,
revenues increased by approximately $6.2 million due to an increase of 8,760
customers on average, and by approximately $2.5 million attributable to customer
rate increases.


     Revenues per customer per month averaged $32.80 for the year compared to
$32.22 for the prior year primarily reflecting an increase in advertising
revenue per customer per month which averaged $1.60 during 1998 compared to
$0.43 in 1997. This helped offset the lack of growth in basic revenue per
customer which remained unchanged at $24.24 because of the Rockford system which
has lower revenue per customer per month reflecting its limited channel
offering. Following the completion of our planned rebuild, rate increases will
be implemented consistent with the expanded channel offering which should result
in an increase in the average revenue per customer closer to the national
average of $27.43.


     Programming and other operating costs increased 65.1% to $30.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the prior year. Excluding the
Rockford system and the Indiana systems contributed by AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services, these costs increased by 17.9% to $21.7 million, primarily as a result
of increased programming costs and additional programming carried by our
systems.


     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 62.9% to
$24.5 million for the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the prior year
primarily reflecting increased marketing activity associated with new product
introductions and increased corporate expenses.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased 141.9% to $43.8 million for
the year ended December 31, 1998 as compared to the prior year. This increase
was primarily due to the acquisitions and additional capital expenditures
associated with the rebuilds of our systems.

     Operating income for the year ended December 31, 1998 was $14.2 million, a
12.1% decrease over the prior year, as a result of the items discussed above.

     EBITDA increased 69.4% to $58.1 million for the year ended December 31,
1998 as compared to the prior year reflecting the acquisitions plus the results
of the items described above.

     Interest expense increased 76.1% to $28.1 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 compared to the prior year. The increase was primarily due to
higher average outstanding indebtedness related to acquisitions. Average debt
outstanding during 1998 was $344.0 million at an average interest rate of 8.2%.

     Net income increased 87.6% to $138.6 million for the year ended
December 31, 1998 primarily reflecting gains related to system swaps aggregating
$156 million. Excluding these one-time gains we generated a net loss totaling
$17.4 million.

YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 COMPARED TO YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1996


     Revenues increased 9.5% to $67.7 million during the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year, due primarily to internal
customer growth and, to a lesser extent, rate increases. Increases in customers
served accounted for 49.6% of the total increase in revenues. During 1997, we
gained 7,879 basic customers representing an annual increase of 4.6%. The
average monthly revenue per customer for 1997 was approximately $32.22, as
compared to approximately $30.76 for the prior year. The average monthly basic
revenue per customer, which accounts for 75% of total average monthly revenue
per customer, increased


                                       38


6.9% to $24.31 during the year, reflecting rate increases associated with
rebuilds and annual rate increases implemented primarily during the fourth
quarter. Revenues increased by approximately $3.3 million due to an increase of
7,560 customers on average, and by approximately $2.1 million attributable to
customer rate increases.


     Programming and other operating costs increased 9.7% to $18.4 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year. The increase
over the prior year reflects additional programming and increased programming
costs.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 6.8% to
$15.0 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the prior
year. The increase was primarily due to higher marketing and personnel expenses.

     Depreciation and amortization expense increased 15.5% to $18.1 million for
the year ended December 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year reflecting
increased capital expenditures from rebuilds and plant extension for our
existing systems.

     Operating income increased 5.5% to $16.2 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year. The operating income increased
primarily due to rate increases and other revenue increases described above,
offset by increases in programming expenses, operating expenses and depreciation
expenses.


     EBITDA increased 10.6% to $34.3 million for the year ended December 31,
1997 as compared to the prior year. This increase reflects the results of the
items described above.


     Interest expense decreased 9.5% to $16.0 million for the year ended
December 31, 1997 as compared to the prior year. The decrease over the prior
year reflects the retirement of our 11.25% senior subordinated notes on
March 3, 1997. These notes were replaced with bank borrowings on which the
average interest rate was 8.4% for the year ended December 31, 1997.


     Net income totaled $73.9 million for the year ended December 31, 1997 as
compared to the prior year primarily reflecting gains related to system swaps
aggregating $78.9 million. Excluding these one-time gains we generated a net
loss totaling $5.0 million.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Our business requires cash for operations, debt service, capital
expenditures and acquisitions. The cable television business has substantial
on-going capital requirements for the construction, expansion and maintenance of
its broadband networks. Expenditures have primarily been used to rebuild and
upgrade our existing cable network, and in the future will be used for plant
extensions, new services, converters and system rebuilds. Historically we have
been able to meet our cash requirements with cash flow from operations,
borrowings under our credit facilities and equity contributions from our
partners.


     For the year ended December 31, 1998 and three months ended March 31, 1998,
we spent $44.8 million and $20.8 million, respectively, in capital expenditures
largely to support our plant rebuild, digital converter purchases and to a
lesser extent plant extensions. For the year ended December 31, 1998 and the
three months ended March 31, 1999, cash from operations totaled $44.8 million
and $18.5 million, which together with borrowing under our credit facilities,
funded the above noted capital expenditures.



     It is anticipated that during 1999, we will have approximately
$123.0 million of capital expenditures. Included in the planned 1999 capital
expenditures is $89.0 million for the upgrading of our Rockford and most of our
Indiana cable television systems, which will involve the wide deployment of
fiber optics and other capital projects associated with implementing our
clustering strategy. The amount of such capital expenditures for years
subsequent to 1999 will depend on numerous factors including the level of
success in deploying our new services which will impact the amount of capital we
will need for digital converters and other network service infrastructure to
support demand for new products and services.



     During 1998, we acquired the Rockford, Illinois system for $97.0 million
excluding fees and cash associated with the acquisition. In addition, we
acquired a 75% non-voting interest in Insight Ohio which


                                       39


owns and operates the Columbus system for $10.0 million. We funded these
acquisitions through existing credit facilities.



     At March 31, 1999, we had aggregate indebtedness of $592.7 million, which
consisted of borrowings totaling $590.1 million under senior bank credit
facilities and a note payable to MediaOne due November 24, 1999 in the amount of
$2.6 million entered into in connection with our purchase of partnership
interests from MediaOne. The senior bank facilities consisted of:



     o $140.0 million eight year reducing revolver credit facility, which
       supports our national systems, of which $124.1 million was borrowed; and



     o $550.0 million eight year revolving credit/term loan which supports our
       Indiana systems, of which $466.0 million was borrowed.



See "Description of Certain Indebtedness."



     We believe these facilities are sufficient to support our current operating
plan for the national and Indiana systems. With respect to the Kentucky
acquisition, we project aggregate indebtedness outstanding of approximately
$733.0 million as of March 31, 1999. For financing purposes, we intend to
combine the operations of the Kentucky and Indiana systems to meet our overall
financial objectives and achieve a balanced financial leverage across all of our
operations.


QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK


     Our revolving credit and term loan agreements bear interest at floating
rates. Accordingly, we are exposed to potential losses related to changes in
interest rates. We do not enter into derivatives or other financial instruments
for trading or speculative purposes; however, in order to manage our exposure to
interest rate risk, we enter into derivative financial instruments, typically
interest rate swaps and collars. The counterparties to our swap and collar
agreements are major financial institutions. As of December 31, 1998, we had
hedged approximately $301 million, or 53%, of our borrowings under our Insight
credit facility and Insight Indiana credit facility. Accordingly, a hypothetical
100 basis point increase in interest rates along the entire interest rate yield
curve would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.7 million.
As of December 31, 1998, our interest rate swap and collar agreements expire in
varying amounts through 2003.


     The fair market value of our long-term debt approximates its carrying value
as it bears interest at floating rates of interest. As of December 31, 1998, the
estimated fair value of our interest rate swap and collar agreements was
approximately $1.2 million, which amount represents the amount required to enter
into offsetting contracts with similar remaining maturities based on quoted
market prices.


     As of March 31, 1999, we had hedged approximately $366 million, or 62%, of
our borrowings under our Insight credit facility and Insight Indiana credit
facility. Accordingly, a hypothetical 100 basis point increase in interest rates
along the entire interest rate yield curve would increase our annual interest
expense by approximately $3.8 million. As of March 31, 1999, the estimated fair
value of our interest rate swap and collar agreements was approximately
$679,000. As of the date of this prospectus we have hedged approximately
$266 million, or 45%, of our borrowings under our Insight credit facility and
the Insight Indiana credit facility.


IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities. We expect to adopt the new statement
effective January 1, 2000. The statement will require us to recognize all
derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. Although we have not completed
our assessment of the impact of FASB No. 133 on our results of operations and
financial position, we do not anticipate that the adoption of this statement
will be material.

                                       40

INFLATION AND CHANGING PRICES

     Our systems' costs and expenses are subject to inflation and price
fluctuations. Although changes in costs can be passed through to customers, such
changes may be constrained by competition. We do not expect inflation to have a
material effect on our results of operations.

YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE

  STATE OF READINESS

     We are evaluating the impact of the Year 2000 problem on our business
systems and our ability to deliver our products and services to our customers.
This evaluation includes a review of our information technology systems, cable
network equipment and other imbedded technologies. We are also evaluating the
potential impact as a result of our reliance on third-party suppliers that may
have the Year 2000 problem. We believe the following business systems and
equipment are vulnerable to the Year 2000 problem:

     o  Information processing and financial reporting systems;

     o  Customer billing systems;

     o  Customer service systems; and

     o  Cable headend equipment including addressable controllers and
        advertising insertion equipment.

     We have developed a program to assess and address the Year 2000 problem.
This program consists of the following six phases:

          1. Inventorying and assessing the impact on affected technology and
     systems;

          2. Developing solutions for affected technology and systems;

          3. Modifying or replacing affected technology and systems;

          4. Testing and verifying solutions;

          5. Implementing solutions; and

          6. Developing contingency plans.


     As of May 31, 1999, the status of our Year 2000 compliance program was as
follows: Phase 1 was substantially completed. Phases 2, 3, 4 and 5 were underway
with expected completion by September 30, 1999. We are working on contingency
plans at this time, which will include customer notification and plans for
additional personnel.


     The completion dates set forth above are based on current expectations. Due
to uncertainties inherent in Year 2000 remediation, however, no assurances can
be given as to whether such projects will be completed on such dates.

  COSTS


     To date, costs incurred that were directly related to addressing the Year
2000 problem have not been material. We have reviewed our cable systems to
inventory our equipment and have sent letters to our programming suppliers and
other vendors. We have not used a consultant but have worked closely with AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services, adopting its Year 2000 program and to a large
extent utilizing its independent certifications. In addition, we have tested our
billing system by entering years such as 2001 and have determined it to be
working properly.


     We do not expect that the total cost of our Year 2000 remediation program
will be material. This includes the cost of replacing advertising insertion
equipment and a local addressable controller in one system.

                                       41

  RISKS


     We purchase most of our technology from third parties. We have been
communicating with all vendors with whom we do business to determine their Year
2000 readiness and to determine the extent to which we are vulnerable to the
Year 2000 problem related to those third parties. To assess Year 2000 compliance
and any potential exposure to the Year 2000 problem, we have sent letters to
such third parties requesting that they certify as to their Year 2000
preparedness. To date, 83% of these critical third parties have responded that
they are Year 2000 compliant.


     There can be no assurance that third-party systems on which our systems
rely will be Year 2000 ready or timely converted into systems compatible with
our systems. Our failure or a third party's failure to become Year 2000 ready,
or our inability to become compatible with third parties with which we have a
material relationship, may have a material adverse effect on us, including
significant service interruption or outages. We cannot currently estimate the
extent of any such adverse effects.

  CONTINGENCY PLANNING

     We are working on contingency plans to minimize the effect of any potential
Year 2000 related disruptions. We intend to prepare plans which relate to
systems, software, equipment and services we deem to be critical to customer
service and business operations and expect them to be in place by September
1999. These services include:

     o  The failure of addressable controllers contained in the cable television
        system headends could disrupt the delivery of services to customers and
        could necessitate crediting customers for failure to receive services;

     o  Customer service networks and/or automated voice response systems
        failure could prevent access to customer account information, hamper
        installation scheduling and disable the processing of pay-per-view
        requests;

     o  Billing system failure could result in a loss of customer records which
        could disrupt the ability to bill customers for a protracted period; and

     o  Advertising insertion equipment failure could impede or prevent the
        insertion of advertising spots resulting in loss of advertising
        revenues.

     The financial impact of any or all of the above worst-case scenarios has
not been and cannot be estimated by us due to the numerous uncertainties and
variables associated with such scenarios.

                                    INDUSTRY


     The following section and other parts of this prospectus contain cable
industry terms and technical jargon which readers of this prospectus may find
unfamiliar. We have therefore included a glossary in this prospectus beginning
on page G-1 to assist readers unfamiliar with such terms.



     Unless otherwise specified, all cable television industry statistical data
in this prospectus are from Paul Kagan & Associates, a leading cable television
industry publisher.


OVERVIEW


     Approximately 95.6 million U.S. households currently have access to, or are
passed by, cable television. In the aggregate, these cable systems serve
approximately 66.1 million customers, representing a penetration of 69.1% of the
homes passed. The cable industry has grown steadily from approximately 57.0
million basic customers in the United States in 1992 to approximately 66.1
million in 1998, a compound annual growth rate of 2.5%. It is estimated that the
annual revenues received from U.S. cable customers exceeded $33.0 billion in
1998.


     Cable television continues to evolve. The enactment in February 1996 of the
sweeping telecommunications reform law, the first comprehensive revision of the
federal telecommunications laws since 1934, is having a dramatic impact on the
industry's development. As the new law opens up local telephone markets to
competition for the first time and brings regulatory relief and flexibility to
cable companies, we believe the new law will continue to facilitate growth of
the cable industry. Significant investments in new infrastructure and services
are being made as cable companies enter new businesses in addition to the
conventional cable business.


     Many cable operators are rebuilding their infrastructure to deliver new
technologies, products and services to provide their customers with greater
value and choices in the face of growing competition in their core businesses.
Modern network architecture now can connect customers to a broadly enhanced
range of video, voice and high-speed data communication possibilities, as well
as improved signal reliability, better quality and superior two-way transmission
capability. Cable operators spent approximately $7.7 billion in 1998 to rebuild
their network in order to create new capability for the delivery of more
channels, digital and high definition television programming and two-way
interactive services. It is estimated that 56% of all homes with cable
television are passed by activated digital two-way cable network, with an
estimated increase to 86% by the end of 1999, allowing for the deployment by
cable television operators of digital, interactive, high-speed data access and
telecommunication products.



     According to the National Cable Television Association, in 1998, the
channel capacity of cable television systems increased to an average of 61
channels, up from 53 channels in 1997. As cable continues to expand its channel
capacity, we expect that the industry's competitive position relative to direct
broadcast satellite television systems and other multichannel video providers
should be further enhanced.


     The core businesses of cable television are subject to increasing
competition. Satellite, wireless and wireline competitors are increasing their
market share in the delivery of multichannel programming. During the past five
years, alternative providers have increased their share of the multichannel
market to nearly 13.0% of the total number of households with televisions.
During this period, cable television has increased its market share to 69.0% of
the homes passed from 61.5% as the overall market has increased due to
population growth as well as increased awareness of multichannel distribution.
Meanwhile, cable operators are rebuilding their networks in order to begin
competing in other telecommunications and entertainment services. A brief
explanation of some of the major new businesses under development is described
below.

DIGITAL VIDEO


     Cable companies are using their rebuilt digital networks to offer a wide
array of new broadband video services to customers. Through the use of
compressed digital video technology, which converts, on average, one analog
channel into a digital format and compresses such signal into 8 to 12 digital
channels, cable operators are able to greatly increase their channel offerings.
The digitally compressed signal is uplinked to a satellite, which sends the
signal back down to a cable system's headend to be distributed, via optical
fiber and coaxial cable, to the customer's home. At the home, a set-top video
terminal converts the digital signal


                                       43


back into analog channels that can be viewed on a normal television set. We
believe the implementation of digital technology will significantly enhance the
quantity and quality of channel offerings, allowing the cable operator to offer
near video-on-demand, premium services and incremental special interest
programming.



     An estimated 1.5 million homes currently subscribe to a digital cable
service. The number of digital service customers is expected to increase
approximately seven times to 10.6 million homes by the end of 2000, representing
a penetration of 10.9% of the homes passed, and to approximately 47.6 million
homes by 2008, representing a penetration of 45.3% of the homes passed.


HIGH-SPEED DATA


     The broad bandwidth of cable network enables data to be transmitted up to
100 times faster than traditional telephone-based modem technologies, and the
cable connection does not interfere with normal telephone activity or usage. For
example, cable's on-line customers can download large files from the Internet in
a fraction of the time it takes when using any widely available telephone modem
technology. Moreover, surfing the Internet on a high-speed network removes the
long delays for Web pages to fully appear on the computer screen, allowing the
experience to more closely approximate the responsiveness of changing channels
on a television set. In addition, the cable modem is always on and does not
require the customer to dial into an Internet service provider and await
authorization. We believe that these factors of speed and easy accessibility
will increase the use and impact of the Internet among our customers. Although
other high-speed alternatives are being developed to compete with cable, we
believe that the cable platform currently is best able to deliver these
services.



     In 1998, cable companies delivered Internet services into over 100 markets
throughout the United States. In 1999, approximately 29.0 million homes will be
passed by cable systems offering high-speed, residential cable Internet
services, which is projected to increase to approximately 39.0 million homes by
2000, and to more than 73.6 million homes by 2008.



     Over 500,000 cable customers currently subscribe to cable access to the
Internet. The number of cable high-speed data service customers is expected to
increase more than 6.6 times to approximately 3.3 million homes by the end of
2000, representing a penetration of 9.1% of the homes that will have been
marketed this service. It is further expected that data service customers will
increase to approximately 18.0 million homes by the end of 2008, representing a
penetration of 25.0% of the homes that will have been marketed this service.



     The cable industry also has developed standards so that inter-operable,
non-proprietary cable modems will be made available in retail outlets beginning
in the second half of 1999. Such availability will allow customers to use their
modems in different systems while decreasing our need to maintain an inventory
of such equipment. In March 1998, the Data Over Cable Service Interface
Specifications created by Cable Television Laboratories, Inc. and others was
approved by the International Telecommunications Union as an international
standard for transmitting data over cable systems. CableLabs also established a
formal certification process for cable modem equipment suppliers to obtain a
compliance certificate for their data delivery devices based on this standard.


TELEPHONY


     During the last several years, the cable industry has been developing the
capability to provide telephony services. At least seven of the nation's largest
cable operators now offer residential and/or commercial phone service in more
than 25 markets overall and cable companies have reached interconnection
agreements in 40 states and the District of Columbia.



     Recent developments, including AT&T's purchase of TCI and the proposed
joint ventures between AT&T and six cable operators, including Insight and Time
Warner, and AT&T's proposed acquisition of MediaOne, will likely accelerate the
pace of development of the voice telephony business. The number of cable
telephony customers is expected to be approximately 600,000 homes by the end of
2000, representing a penetration of 9.0% of the homes that will have been
marketed this service and approximately 23.9 million homes by 2008, representing
a penetration of 36.0% of the homes that will have been marketed this service.

                                    BUSINESS


     The following section and other parts of this prospectus contain cable
industry terms and technical jargon which readers of this prospectus may find
unfamiliar. We have therefore included a glossary in this prospectus beginning
on page G-1 to assist readers with such terms.


GENERAL


     We are the 8th largest cable television system operator in the United
States based on customers served, after giving effect to our proposed
acquisition of the Kentucky cable television systems and other recently
announced industry acquisitions. We have approximately 1,049,000 customers and
pass approximately 1,635,000 homes as of March 31, 1999, after giving effect to
the Kentucky acquisition and our proposed provision of consulting services to
additional cable television systems located in Indiana. We have a tightly
grouped cluster of cable television systems with approximately 98% of our
customers concentrated in the four contiguous states of Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio
and Illinois. Our systems have a very high concentration of customers served by
each headend or technical center of the network allowing us to more economically
deliver an array of entertainment, information and telecommunication services,
including interactive digital video, high-speed data access and telephone
service products. Upon completion of our rebuild efforts, which is expected to
occur in 2000, over 96% of our customers will be served from nine headends. In
addition to our optimal state-of-the-art technical configuration, our market
research indicates that our clusters have attractive market characteristics and
demographics for offering new and enhanced products and services that take
advantage of the significant bandwidth of our cable network. We believe that
because of this advantageous combination, we are very well positioned to exploit
the new business opportunities available to cable television operators.





After giving effect to the above transactions:

     Recognizing the opportunities presented by newly available products and
services, the strength of our market characteristics and favorable changes in
the regulatory environment, our management team developed and executed a
strategy to become a competitive, full service provider of entertainment,
information and telecommunication services for the communities served by our
networks. We intend to capitalize on our highly clustered cable television
systems to economically rebuild the technological capabilities of our broadband
networks in order to deploy enhanced new services. We believe that an integrated
package of existing multi-channel video, new and enhanced products and services,
such as interactive digital video, including video-on-demand or near
video-on-demand, high-speed Internet access and telephone services, coupled with
our commitment to locally focused customer service, will enhance our ability to
acquire and retain customers in a competitive environment while increasing
revenues per customer. To augment this growth, we will continue to seek
strategic acquisitions that fit our clustering and operating strategy.



     Our marketing strategy is designed to capitalize on these trends by
offering our customers an array of entertainment, information and
telecommunication services on a bundled basis. By bundling our products and


                                       45


services, our customers would have an increased choice of services at a reduced
cost resulting in higher customer satisfaction, increased use of our services
and greater customer retention. Because our broadband cable network can offer
such a wide variety of communication services, we believe our service offering
will provide us with a competitive advantage over alternative wireline and
wireless telecommunications and multichannel video providers, such as incumbent
telephone companies and direct broadcast satellite television systems. We began
offering new and enhanced products and services, such as interactive digital
video and high-speed data access, during the second quarter of 1999 and intend
to offer telecommunication services beginning in 2000.



     We have conducted research and held numerous focus group sessions in our
local markets leading us to believe that products and services such as
interactive digital video, high-speed data access and telephony will have high
customer appeal. As a result of our capital investment, we expect to be able to
provide these products and services on a cost effective basis capitalizing on
the high bandwidth capabilities of our cable network. Likewise, we believe that
the highly clustered nature of our systems will enable us to more efficiently
invest our marketing dollars and maximize our ability to establish customer
awareness, increase use of our services and build brand support. In addition to
our broad product offering, we also emphasize a high level of locally focused
customer service. Our emphasis is on system reliability, engineering support and
superior customer satisfaction.



     To facilitate the deployment of our enhanced products and services, we are
in the process of rebuilding almost all of our network to provide at least 750
MHz of capacity with two-way communications capability. We have rebuilt
approximately 29% of our network miles as of March 31, 1999 after giving effect
to the proposed acquisition of the Kentucky cable television systems and the
proposed provision of consulting services to additional cable television systems
located in Indiana and intend to have approximately 71% of our network at or
above 750 MHz by the end of 1999. We expect to complete our network rebuild in
2000 having invested a total of approximately $233.8 million.


                                       46


     The following table presents a profile of our systems and systems in which
we have an economic interest or service on a pro forma basis as of March 31,
1999, except as otherwise indicated.

BUSINESS STRATEGY


     Our operating strategy is centered on the development of new and enhanced
products and services for the communities served by our telecommunications
network and consists of the following elements:

  FOCUS ON OPERATING CLUSTERS WITH ATTRACTIVE TECHNICAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC PROFILES

     We operate highly clustered systems, most of which have attractive
technical and demographic profiles. Our systems are characterized by high
housing densities and high ratios of customers to headends. As a result, the
amount of capital necessary to deploy new and enhanced products and services is
significantly reduced on a per home basis because of the large number of
customers served by a single headend. We believe that the highly clustered
nature of our systems enables us to more efficiently invest our marketing
dollars and maximize our ability to establish customer awareness, increase
penetration and build brand support. Our demographic profile is characterized by
strong new housing growth and low unemployment in rapidly growing communities,
most of which are centered around large universities and/or major commercial
enterprises. We believe that households with our demographic profile are more
likely to subscribe to these new and enhanced products and services than the
national average demographic profile.

  EXPEDITIOUSLY REBUILD OUR BROADBAND CABLE NETWORK

     We are committed to rebuild our cable network expeditiously in order to
provide new and enhanced products and services, increase the programming and
telecommunications choices for our customers, improve our competitive position
and increase overall customer satisfaction. We are in the process of rebuilding
almost all of our network to provide at least 750 MHz bandwidth and two-way
active capability. The result will be a significant increase in network
capacity, quality and reliability which facilitates the delivery of new and
enhanced products and services and reduced operating costs. Our aggressive
investment in our broadband cable network rebuild will allow us to expeditiously
offer these services to substantially all of our customers. By the end of 1999,
we expect that approximately 85% of our customers on a pro forma basis will be
served by systems with at least 750 MHz bandwidth and two-way active capability,
with the balance being substantially complete by the end of 2000. As each
system's rebuild progresses, we will deploy new and enhanced products and
services allowing us to provide these new services in many of our markets by
late 1999. In 1998, we invested approximately $46.6 million, and we plan to
invest approximately $89.0 million more to rebuild our systems by the end of
1999.

  INTRODUCE NEW AND ENHANCED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES


     Our marketing strategy is to offer our customers an array of entertainment,
information and telecommunication services on a bundled basis. We believe by
bundling our products and services our customers will have an increased choice
at a reduced cost resulting in higher customer satisfaction, higher penetration
and reduced churn. We have conducted research and held numerous focus group
sessions in our local markets which lead us to believe that these services will
have high customer appeal. We expect that our ability to provide bundled
services will provide us with a strong competitive advantage over alternative
video providers, such as direct broadcast satellite television systems, and
incumbent telephone companies. To accelerate the deployment of these services,
we have partnered with several industry leaders, including AT&T, @Home and 3Com.


  LEVERAGE STRONG LOCAL PRESENCE TO ENHANCE CUSTOMER AND COMMUNITY RELATIONS


     Strong customer service is a key element of our business strategy. We are
dedicated to quality customer service and seek a high level of customer
satisfaction by employing localized customer care, extensively using market
research and providing customers with an attractively priced product offering.
Approximately 40% of our customers visit their local office on a monthly basis
providing us the opportunity to demonstrate and sell our new and enhanced
products and services. Our localized customer care initiatives create
substantial marketing and promotion opportunities which we believe will be
effective in the deployment of interactive and high-speed data products. In
addition, we are dedicated to fostering strong relations in the communities we
serve. We sponsor local charities and community causes through staged events and


                                       48


promotional campaigns, including the industry's Cable in the Classroom program.
Our emphasis on customer service and strong community involvement has led to
higher customer satisfaction, reduced customer churn and excellent franchise
relationships. To further strengthen community relations and differentiate us
from direct broadcast satellite television systems and other multichannel video
providers, we provide locally produced and oriented programming that offers,
among other things, community information, local government proceedings and
local specialty interest shows. In some of our markets, we are the only
broadcaster of local college and high school sporting events, which allows us to
provide unique programming and builds customer loyalty.


     To support our business strategy, we have developed a financial strategy to
pursue value-enhancing transactions. To augment our internal customer growth, we
will seek acquisitions that strategically fit our clustering and operating
strategy. We will seek strategic acquisitions based upon disciplined criteria
with a focus on the following four primary factors:

     o A high ratio of customers to headends;

     o Market significance;

     o Geographic proximity to our other systems; and

     o An acceptable return on investment.


We have not reached any agreements, commitments or understandings for any future
acquisitions except for the Kentucky acquisition. There is no assurance that any
additional acquisitions will be identified or completed.



     Since initiating this strategy in early 1997, we have completed on a pro
forma basis a total of three acquisitions, three asset swaps and two joint
ventures. As of December 31, 1997, our cable systems had approximately 180,000
customers and were located in seven states with no clear clustering of
properties. After completing these transactions, including a joint venture in
Indiana with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, an asset swap with Cox
Communications, the proposed transaction to acquire the Kentucky systems and the
proposed provision of consulting services to the managed Indiana systems, we
owned, operated and managed, as of March 31, 1999 on a pro forma basis, cable
television systems serving approximately 1,049,000 customers with approximately
98% of our customers clustered in the State of Indiana; Rockford, Illinois;
Columbus, Ohio; and the State of Kentucky.


TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

     We believe that in order to achieve consistently high levels of customer
service, reduce operating costs, maintain a strong competitive position and
deploy important new technologies, we will need to install and maintain a fiber
rich technical platform. The deployment of fiber optics, an increase in the
bandwidth to 750 MHz or higher, the activation of a two-way communications
network and the installation of digital equipment will allow us to deliver
interactive digital, video, high-speed data services and telecommunication
services.


     As of March 31, 1999 on a pro forma basis, our systems were comprised of
approximately 19,800 miles of network passing approximately 1,475,300 homes
resulting in a density of approximately 75 homes per mile. As of that date, our
systems on a pro forma basis were made up of an aggregate of 67 headends. We
intend to continue our strategy of consolidating headends by eliminating
approximately 52 headends by December 31, 2000, at which point 96% of our
customers will be served by nine headends. As of March 31, 1999 on a pro forma
basis, approximately 28% of our network was at 450-550 MHz, while approximately
33% of our network was at 600 MHz or higher.



     Our network design calls for a digital two-way active network with a fiber
optic trunk system carrying signals to nodes within our customers'
neighborhoods. The signals are transferred to coaxial network at the node for
delivery to our customers. At March 31, 1999, an average of approximately 1,500
homes were being served by each fiber node. We have designed the fiber system to
be capable of subdividing the nodes if traffic on the network requires
additional capacity.


     We believe that active use of fiber optic technology as a supplement to
coaxial cable will play a major role in expanding channel capacity and improving
the performance of our systems. Fiber optic strands are

                                       49

capable of carrying hundreds of video, data and voice channels over extended
distances without the extensive signal amplification typically required for
coaxial cable. We will continue to deploy fiber optic cable to further reduce
amplifier cascades while improving picture quality and system reliability.

     A direct result of this extensive use of fiber optics is an improvement in
picture quality and a reduction of outages because system failures will be both
significantly reduced and will impact far fewer customers when they do occur.
Our design allows our systems to have the capability to run multiple separate
channel line-ups from a single headend and to insert targeted advertisements
into specific neighborhoods based on node location.


     As of March 31, 1999, on a pro forma basis, approximately 32% of our
customers had addressable converters in their homes. Addressable technology
enables us to electronically control the cable television services being
delivered to the customer's home. Addressable technology allows us to
electronically upgrade or downgrade services to a customer immediately, from our
customer service center, without the delay or expense associated with
dispatching a technician to the customer's home. Addressable technology also
reduces premium service theft, is an effective enforcement tool in the
collection of delinquent payments and enables us to offer pay-per-view services,
including movies and special events, more conveniently.


     The following chart outlines the status of the network capacities currently
and as planned over the next three years, based on our current rebuild program:




                                                                       PERCENT OF NETWORK MILES

PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

  TRADITIONAL CABLE TELEVISION SERVICES


     We offer our customers a full array of traditional cable television
services and programming offerings. We offer a basic level of service which
includes up to 25 channels of television programming. Approximately 94% of our
customers choose to pay an additional amount to receive up to 63 channels under
our "classic" service. Premium channels, which are offered individually or in
packages of several channels, are optional add-ons to the basic service or the
classic service. As of March 31, 1999, on a pro forma basis, premium units as a
percentage of basic subscribers was approximately 77%. We tailor both our basic
line-up and our additional channel offerings to each regional system in response
to demographics, programming preferences, competition, price sensitivity and
local regulation.


     Our cable television service offering includes the following:


     o Basic Service.  All of our customers receive the basic level of service,
       which generally consists of local broadcast television and local
       community programming, including government and public access, and may
       include a limited number of satellite programs.


     o Classic Service.  This expanded level of service includes a group of
       satellite-delivered or non-broadcast channels such as ESPN, CNN,
       Discovery Channel and Lifetime.

     o Premium Channels.  These channels provide unedited, commercial-free
       movies, sports and other special event entertainment programming such as
       HBO, Cinemax and Showtime. We offer subscriptions to these channels
       either individually or in premium channel packages.

     o Pay-Per-View.  These analog channels allow customers with addressable set
       top boxes to pay to view a single showing of a recently released movie or
       a one-time special sporting event or music concert on an unedited,
       commercial-free basis.

  NEW AND ENHANCED PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

     As rebuilds are activated during 1999, we are deploying new and enhanced
products and services in most of our markets, including interactive digital
video and high-speed data services. In addition, we intend to deploy telephony
services in 2000.

    Interactive Digital Video


     The implementation of interactive digital technology will significantly
enhance and expand the video and service offerings we provide to our customers.
Most digital launches by other cable operators have been limited to simply
offering more channels as a defensive move against competition from direct
broadcast satellite television systems. Because of the significantly increased
bandwidth and two-way transmission capability of our state-of-the-art technical
platform, which is being built in conjunction with our digital launches, we have
the capacity to design a more extensive digital product that is rich in program
offerings and highly interactive with our customers. For example, we expect to
offer a video-on-demand service that will allow our customers significantly more
viewing options. Our interactive digital services also allow us to offer
customized information for our customers that is rich in local content and
targeted to a specific system or community. Our systems also are being activated
with two-way communication network capability, enabling us to provide truly
interactive and locally based Internet-style products and services.


     We have conducted numerous focus groups and commissioned research studies,
the findings of which have helped to develop our interactive digital strategy.
We believe that our digital penetration will increase as a result of our
differentiated services such as a graphically rich local information network and
video-on-demand pay-per-view with full VCR functionality. In addition, nearly
75% of the homes passed by our systems still do not have an online account to
use the Internet, which we believe will make our local information product
particularly appealing to this group.

     In most of our digital launches, we are providing a package of digital
services, known as "Digital Gateway." For $6.95 per month, our customers can
purchase Digital Gateway and receive the following services:

     o A digital converter box;

     o An interactive navigational program guide for all analog and digital
       channels;

     o A local, interactive Internet-style service;

     o A significant multiplexing of premium channels for customers who
       separately subscribe to premium channels, such as HBO and Showtime;

     o Pay-per-view video-on-demand; and

     o A digital 40-channel audio music service.


     We have entered into a letter of intent with Source Media, Inc. to provide
their LocalSource product in our Digital Gateway. The LocalSource product is
designed to deliver the Internet experience to the television platform.
LocalSource delivers interactive programming that is both informative and
entertaining and provides extensive communications tools to support interaction
between customers, advertisers, sponsors, merchants and direct marketers
resulting in multimedia addressable advertising opportunities for both local and
national advertisers. The service is divided into four sub-categories:


     o DailySource provides both current local information as well as national
       news updates;

     o LocalGuide provides a complete and current community guide that covers
       everything from school homework assignments to restaurant specials,
       sporting events or movie schedules;

     o FastFacts is an on-demand library of useful facts on a range of subjects
       from health to legal to car care or insurance; and

     o MyTV is a service that allows customers to customize their screens by
       selecting menus and viewing choices based upon their own tastes.

     Other LocalSource applications that are under development include CableMail
and SourceNet. CableMail will allow customers to have e-mail accounts accessible
from their television sets and SourceNet will provide

                                       51

Internet access to the World Wide Web, also through the set top box and the
television set. We believe that LocalSource is a compelling introduction to
cable's broadband capability which will stimulate early demand for data services
and make cable a more essential service for the customer, resulting in increased
customer satisfaction and penetration and reduced churn.


     We have signed a letter of intent with DIVA Systems Corporation, which will
allow us to be the first cable operator to offer DIVA's video-on-demand services
as part of a digital tier package. DIVA provides a true video-on-demand service
over the cable television infrastructure. We expect to launch DIVA's video-on-
demand product in Rockford, Illinois, in July 1999 and later this year in
Columbus, Ohio and Evansville, Indiana. A video-on-demand launch is also being
considered for Bloomington, Indiana later this year, with additional launches in
Indiana and Kentucky expected in 2000. We expect that our video-on-demand
service will offer immediate in-home access to a diverse and continuously
available selection of hundreds of movies. Customers will receive the movies
electronically over the network and will have full VCR functionality, including
pause, play, fast forward and rewind. The movies will be delivered with a high
quality digital picture and digital sound. DIVA is designed to provide movies at
prices comparable to those charged for videotape rentals, pay-per-view and near
video-on-demand movies, but with far greater convenience and functionality.
Although we expect fully to finalize our negotiations with DIVA, there can be no
assurance that they will come to a successful conclusion.


     In addition to the Digital Gateway service, customers can select additional
digital packages, each of which includes a number of popular cable networks.
These packages allow viewers to customize their service to fit individual
interests. The packages will be tailored to satisfy the tastes and needs of the
specific local market but will be generally developed and available for an
additional $4.95 each per month. Currently, we are planning to offer three core
programming packages in all of our markets and to provide a discount by allowing
customers to purchase all three packages for the price of two. The packages may
include the following:

     o The Family Pack, which is comprised of networks, such as six different
       Discovery networks, BBC America, Much Music and the Sci-Fi Channel;

     o The Movie Pack, which is comprised of specialty movie networks, such as
       six Encore theme channels, Turner Classic Movies, the Independent Film
       Channel and Romance Classics; and

     o The Sports Pack, which consists of several ESPN channels, The Golf
       Channel, Fox Sports World and Classic Sports.

     In addition to these core programming packages, we intend to develop
additional niche packages, such as Spanish channels or music video channels,
reflective of local customer tastes.


     We recently launched most of the Digital Gateway service in Rockford,
Illinois, added LocalSource in May 1999 and expect to add the video-on-demand
application in July 1999. We will launch the Digital Gateway service in all of
our markets as rebuilds are completed. As the rebuilds of the Indiana systems
are completed during 2000, we will migrate the AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services digital product to our interactive digital product. Additionally, in
2000, we expect to convert the Kentucky systems from the InterMedia Capital
Partners VI, L.P. digital product to our interactive digital product. While the
AT&T Broadband & Internet Services and InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P.
digital products were targeted to fill programming voids and compete with direct
broadcast satellite television systems, our Digital Gateway service is designed
to provide our customers with an Internet style experience as well as
programming choices, which we believe will result in higher penetration and
customer satisfaction and reduced churn. Therefore, we expect to achieve
improved penetration in the Indiana systems with our Digital Gateway service
from the 10% to 15% penetration that the AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
digital product currently achieves.



     In the small markets where we do not plan a rebuild, we have launched a
digital product which is packaged and priced similarly but is not interactive.
We launched this type of limited digital service in Griffin, Georgia in December
1998 and achieved over 11% penetration within six months of launch with
incremental revenue per digital customer of over $16.00 per month.


                                       52

    High-Speed Data


     We plan to introduce high-speed data service for personal computers over
our network in all of our rebuilt systems. The broad bandwidth of cable network
enables data to be transmitted up to 100 times faster than traditional
telephone-based modem technologies, and the cable connection does not interfere
with normal telephone activity or usage. For example, cable's on-line customers
can download large files from the Internet in a fraction of the time it takes
when using any widely available telephone modem technology. Moreover, surfing
the Internet on a high-speed network removes the long delays for Web pages to
fully appear on the computer screen, allowing the experience to more closely
approximate the responsiveness of changing channels on a television set. In
addition, the cable modem is always on and does not require the customer to dial
into an Internet service provider and await authorization. We believe that these
factors of speed and easy accessibility will increase the use and impact of the
Internet. Although other high-speed alternatives are being developed to compete
with cable, we believe that the cable platform currently is best able to deliver
these services.



     We have signed a distribution agreement with @Home to launch high-speed
data service in all of our markets serving 50,000 or more homes passed, except
for Columbus, Ohio. With respect to the Columbus system, we have a nonbinding
letter of intent to launch the Road Runner service. With respect to our small
system markets, we are considering separate distribution agreements with various
Internet service providers.


     In addition to being an Internet service provider, @Home offers its own
content. @Home aggregates high quality web sites for customers to explore and
also offers various chat rooms, newsgroups, on-line stores, gaming channels, on
demand CNN, NBA and MTV video clips, and easy to use search engines and tip
wizards. We expect to offer our customers content of local interest, including
community information, local news, sports, entertainment, and weather, through
our local home page.


     The @Home service offers unlimited access to the Internet. The service
includes three e-mail addresses and 15 megabytes of space with which to create a
personal web site. We are offering the @Home service to cable customers at a
price of $29.95 per month plus $15 to lease the cable modem. Non-cable customers
will be charged an additional $10 per month for the service. Both cable and
non-cable customers will be charged an installation fee of $150, which we may,
at our discretion, discount to promote usage of cable modems. @Home also
provides several additional services, such as the ability to dial-up away from
the customer's home, multiple computer access and internet fax services, which
should provide additional revenue potential. In addition to customer fees, we
expect to generate advertising and e-commerce revenue by selling advertisers and
retailers space on our local home pages in exchange for a fee or a share of the
revenues.



     While we will initially lease cable modems to customers, we expect a
significant portion of our customers to purchase a cable modem once the Data
Over Cable Service Interface Specifications open standard has been implemented
by vendors and such vendors sell the cable modems in retail outlets and pre-
install them in new computers. The purchase of cable modems by our customers
will reduce our need to maintain an inventory of such equipment. We do not,
however, anticipate significant retail activity until 2000.


     We believe our cable systems have attractive demographics for high-speed
data. Based on research of our systems at November 1998 by Peter D. Hart
Research Associates Inc., approximately 49% of our then customers had personal
computers in the home and approximately 51% of those that had computers were
currently on-line. We believe university markets, such as Bloomington and
Lafayette, Indiana, Lexington and Bowling Green, Kentucky and Columbus, Ohio and
affluent suburbs like Noblesville, Indiana are particularly well suited for this
product as each of these markets has above average personal computer
penetration.

    Telephony


     In December 1998, we entered into a letter of intent with AT&T to form a
joint venture to provide local phone services to residential consumers and small
business customers under the "AT&T" brand name over our cable infrastructure.
The joint venture would have the exclusive right to license our cable
infrastructure for such services and would have access to wholesale bulk long
distance services and other network services from AT&T. We believe there is
significant potential for the joint venture based both on our management's


                                       53


experience in the U.K. cable market and the success of other operators such as
Cox Communications and Cablevision since entering this business.



     All of our systems would be included in the joint venture, and we expect to
invest up to 49% of the equity capital for the joint venture on terms to be
negotiated. Under the joint venture, we would be responsible for rebuilding our
cable systems and activating two-way network. In exchange for this contribution,
we would receive an initial connectivity payment for any cable television system
passing a specified number of homes and meeting certain specified technical
standards. The joint venture would also pay us monthly connectivity payments
based on the number of customers for maintenance of our network. In addition, we
would participate in the profitability of the business based on our equity
interest in the joint venture. There can be no assurance that a definitive
agreement will be successfully negotiated with AT&T, or, if negotiated, that
such agreement will be on the terms described in this prospectus. See
"Description of Recent Transactions--The Transaction with AT&T."


BUSINESS BACKGROUND

     Insight was co-founded in 1985 as a limited partnership by Sidney R. Knafel
and Michael S. Willner after a previous association with one another at Vision
Cable Communications where Mr. Knafel was co-founder and Chairman and
Mr. Willner held various operating positions, ultimately holding the position of
Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. Vision Cable was sold to
The Newhouse Group Inc. in 1981 and Mr. Willner remained there to run the cable
operations until 1985 when he and Mr. Knafel formed Insight.

     Between 1985 and 1988, we assembled a group of systems that reflected our
focused acquisition criteria of high housing growth in markets with attractive
demographics. As a result of this strategy, we owned largely suburban systems in
high growth corridors of major metropolitan areas. Through housing growth and
increased basic penetration in the five years ended December 31, 1997, our
systems achieved growth rates for homes passed and customers of 4.8% and 5.9%,
respectively, over twice the national average and one of the highest internal
growth rates in the industry.


     In addition to many years of conventional cable television experience, our
management team has been involved in the development and deployment of full
service telecommunications networks since 1989. Through a then related entity,
Insight Communications Company UK, L.P., our management and our related parties
entered the cable television market in the United Kingdom, where today modern
hybrid fiber-coaxial networks are widely deployed. Messrs. Knafel and Willner
remain on the board of NTL Incorporated, the publicly traded successor to the
former Insight UK related entity. NTL is currently one of the three largest
operators of local broadband communications systems in the United Kingdom.


     As a result of our management's British experience, we recognized that the
technology and products developed in the United Kingdom would migrate to the
United States in similar form. We focused on planning to rebuild our network
promptly after it became clear that the 1996 Telecom Act would encourage
competition in the telecommunications industries. We understood, however, that
the new products and services available with new technology were best deployed
in markets which provided for efficiencies for branding and technical
investment. Our original acquisition strategy, which focused on customer growth,
was very successful. However, our management team recognized the opportunity to
evolve from our role as a cable television operator providing only home video
entertainment into a full service alternative telecommunications network
providing not only standard video services, but also interactive digital video,
high-speed data access and voice telephony products and services.


     Recognizing the opportunities presented by newly available products and
services and favorable changes in the regulatory environment, we executed a
series of asset swaps and acquisitions and entered into a key joint venture that
resulted in our current composition. The largest of these transactions was the
50/50 joint venture formed between Insight and AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services in October 1998. Prior to December 31, 1997, our systems had
approximately 180,000 customers with the two largest concentrations in Utah and
Indiana, which together represented less than half of our customers. We believe
that we have successfully transformed our assets so that today on a pro forma
basis we own, operate and manage a cable television network serving
approximately 1,049,000 customers with approximately 98% of our customers


                                       54


clustered in the contiguous states of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky. Our
current assets are reflective of our strategy to own systems that have high
ratios of customers to headends.


     The following is a list of significant recent transactions that were
designed to implement our new business strategy:

     o Lafayette, Indiana.  In December 1997, we exchanged with Cox
       Communications our suburban Phoenix, Arizona system serving approximately
       36,200 customers for a system in Lafayette, Indiana serving approximately
       38,100 customers plus approximately $12.6 million paid in cash to
       Insight. The Phoenix system comprised only 8% of its designated market
       area and was made up of three separate headends while the Lafayette
       system is made up of a single headend, is the major operator in the
       market and is located in a region where we have substantial assets.

     o Rockford, Illinois.  In January 1998, we purchased a cable system serving
       approximately 66,000 customers in the Rockford, Illinois area. The system
       is made up of a single headend and is the primary cable system in the
       market.


     o Columbus, Ohio.  In August 1998, we acquired a 75% non-voting interest in
       a cable system serving approximately 90,000 customers in the eastern
       portion of the City of Columbus and the surrounding suburban communities.
       The Columbus system, which is made up of a single headend, passes
       one-third of the homes in the Columbus area.



     o Indiana Joint Venture.  In October 1998, we exchanged with AT&T Broadband
       & Internet Services our Utah systems serving approximately 56,200
       customers for systems in Evansville and Jasper, Indiana serving
       approximately 63,000 customers. Simultaneously with this transaction, we
       contributed approximately 157,000 of our Indiana customers and AT&T
       Broadband & Internet Services contributed approximately 162,000 of its
       Indiana customers to a newly formed joint venture in which AT&T Broadband
       & Internet Services and we each have a 50% interest. We have management
       control of the Indiana joint venture, which upon formation became the
       largest cable operator in Indiana.



     o Kentucky Joint Venture.  In April 1999, we entered into an agreement with
       Blackstone Capital, InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC and a
       subsidiary and related party of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services to
       purchase, subject to certain conditions set forth on page 14 of this
       prospectus, a combined 50% interest in InterMedia Capital Partners VI,
       L.P., which serves approximately 425,400 basic customers throughout
       Kentucky. Under the agreement, we would have management control of the
       Kentucky joint venture, which is the largest cable operator in Kentucky.
       There can be no assurance that the Kentucky acquisition will be completed
       on the terms described in this prospectus, or at all. This offering is
       not contingent or in any way dependent on the Kentucky acquisition.



     One of our original investors was Continental Cablevision, the third
largest cable operator in the United States at that time. After MediaOne
acquired Continental, we reached an agreement to repurchase its interest in our
company by the end of 1999. We replaced this important relationship by acquiring
the Indiana systems in a 50/50 joint venture with TCI, now known as AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services, the largest cable operator in the United States,
pro forma for its proposed acquisition of MediaOne. We believe that a
relationship with a major cable operator is an advantage to us because it helps
us to participate in the rapidly changing technical developments in the industry
and allows us to procure programming, equipment and services at better prices.
We already have benefited from our new AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
relationship by being one of the first companies to enter into a joint venture
arrangement with AT&T for the delivery of voice telephony services to
residential and small business markets. We also benefit from having two
nationally recognized financial investors, Vestar Capital Partners III, L.P. and
Sandler Capital Partners IV, L.P. This combination of strategic and financial
relationships gives us a clear view of the issues confronting the
telecommunications industry and increased access to capital, which we can
utilize when analyzing and pursuing new business opportunities.


                                       55

THE SYSTEMS


     Our operations are conducted through the Indiana systems, the national
systems and the Columbus system, and will also be conducted upon the completion
of the Kentucky acquisition through the Kentucky systems.


  THE INDIANA SYSTEMS


     As of March 31, 1999, the Indiana systems passed approximately 495,600
homes and served approximately 336,300 customers. The Indiana systems are owned
by Insight Indiana, which is the largest cable operator in the state. Insight
Indiana, which was capitalized on October 31, 1998, is a 50/50 joint venture
between Insight and AT&T Broadband & Internet Services in which we serve as
manager of the Indiana systems. See "Description of Recent Transactions--The
Transactions to Acquire the Indiana Systems." We receive tangible and intangible
benefits from our partnership with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, including
(a) substantial programming discounts for the Indiana systems and
(b) participation in AT&T Broadband & Internet Services affiliate meetings,
which affords us in-depth knowledge and understanding about principal and
material issues and challenges facing the cable television industry.



     The Scottsburg system and the Portland system, which are included in the
Indiana systems as discussed above, passed approximately 18,300 homes and served
approximately 10,800 customers as of March 31, 1999. Both of these systems are
wholly-owned by us but are managed by Insight Indiana.



     We believe that further investment in the Indiana systems will yield
opportunities for cash flow growth. We will increase capital investments, with
initial emphasis on rebuilding the network, activating two-way transmission and
combining headends. By March 2000, we expect that 90% of our customers in
Indiana, including the customers of the managed Indiana systems, will be served
by three headends. Upon implementation of our state-of-the-art technical
platform, we will be deploying new services based on our marketing strategy of
bundling products. In addition, we believe that there are additional
opportunities to augment our position in the state through additional
acquisitions and swaps.



     The Indiana systems are organized in five management districts:


     The Bloomington District


     As of March 31, 1999, the Bloomington District passed approximately 77,500
homes and served approximately 58,800 customers. Bloomington, located 45 miles
south of Indianapolis, is the home of Indiana University. Besides the
University, major employers include United Technology and General Electric. The
median household income for the area is approximately $36,000 per year, while
the median family income is approximately $45,500 per year. Household income
differs from family income by including income from all persons in all
households, including persons living alone and other non-family households.



     Interactive digital video was launched in Bloomington by AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services prior to the formation of Insight Indiana. Upon completion of
our rebuild, we will migrate the Bloomington digital customers to our Digital
Gateway service. The Bloomington system is expected to begin deploying @Home by
the end of 1999. Bloomington and parts of Monroe County are expected to be
rebuilt to 750 MHz by the end of 1999 with the remainder of the district
projected to be rebuilt to 750 MHz by the end of 2000.


     The Evansville District


     As of March 31, 1999 on a pro forma basis, the Evansville District passed
approximately 118,800 homes and served 72,000 customers. The median household
income for the area is approximately $34,800 per year, while the median family
income is approximately $44,700 per year.



     A related party of Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Co. is overbuilding a
portion of our Evansville system. Southern Indiana Gas and Electric Co. has
obtained franchises to provide cable television service in the City of
Evansville and neighboring areas and commenced service in April 1999. Southern
Indiana Gas and Electric Co. is currently offering cable service to an estimated
7,500 homes in our service area and is


                                       56


expected to make the service available to additional homes and has announced
plans to offer telephone and data service by late summer or early fall of 1999.
We have responded to this competition by advancing our rebuild plans for
Evansville. We are rebuilding the network to 750 MHz and plan to introduce the
Digital Gateway service, including DIVA's video-on-demand service and the
LocalSource interactive information service, by late summer of 1999. We also
plan to launch the @Home service in Evansville by the fourth quarter of 1999.


     The Evansville system recently won a competitive bid to supply a data
network to the Evansville school system. We are working with TCI Network
Solutions to supply this data network and have signed a five-year contract to
connect 42 K-12 schools to the data network. Our share of the revenues from this
contract will be $500,000 over the life of the contract.

     The Jeffersonville District


     As of March 31, 1999, the Jeffersonville District passed approximately
45,300 homes and served approximately 26,800 customers, including the Scottsburg
system, which passed 7,200 homes and served approximately 4,600 customers. The
Jeffersonville District is in the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area.
Jeffersonville's economy is largely influenced by Louisville, Kentucky's largest
city, which has developed a diverse economy by adding major service companies
such as UPS and Columbia Healthcare to its strong manufacturing base whose major
employers include General Electric and Ford Motor Company. The median household
income for the area is approximately $35,000 per year, while the median family
income is approximately $42,900 per year. We launched @Home in the
Jeffersonville system in April 1999. Our Digital Gateway service is expected to
be launched in the second half of 1999.


     The Lafayette District


     As of March 31, 1999, the Lafayette District passed approximately 107,300
homes and served approximately 80,400 customers, including the Lafayette
District is the Portland system, which passed approximately 11,100 homes and
served approximately 6,200 customers. Lafayette is the home of Purdue
University. Besides the University, major employers include Great Lakes
Chemical, Lafayette Life Insurance, General Motors and Delco Remy. The median
household income for the area is approximately $38,000 per year, while the
median family income is approximately $49,300 per year.



     Most of the Lafayette, Kokomo, Fowler and Hartford City systems are
expected to be rebuilt to 750 MHz by the end of 1999, with a few areas being
finished in 2000. We launched @Home in the Lafayette market in May 1999 and
expect to launch @Home in the remaining markets by the end of 1999. AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services launched a digital service in the Kokomo market in
late 1998. We plan to migrate those customers to our digital service in 2000,
simultaneously with the launch throughout the district of our Digital Gateway
service.


     The Anderson District


     As of March 31, 1999, the Anderson District passed approximately 146,800
homes and served approximately 98,400 customers largely in the suburban
communities near Indianapolis. Indianapolis is the state capital of Indiana and
is the twelfth largest city in the United States. Major employers include
General Motors, Eli Lily and Belden Wire and Cable. The median household income
for the area is approximately $43,900 per year, while the median family income
is approximately $52,700 per year.



     The Anderson District is expected to be rebuilt to 750 MHz by the summer of
2000. We launched @Home in Noblesville in early May 1999 and plan to extend the
offering throughout the district by the end of 1999. AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services launched digital service in several of the markets in 1998, and we plan
to migrate those customers to our Digital Gateway service in 2000,
simultaneously with the launch throughout the district of our Digital Gateway
service.


                                       57

     The Managed Indiana Systems


     We expect to enter into a five-year agreement with AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services to provide consulting services to cable television systems
being acquired by AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, which systems as of
March 31, 1999 passed approximately 160,000 homes and served approximately
114,300 customers in the State of Indiana. AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
will acquire these systems from Charter Communications as part of a series of
swaps between AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, Charter and InterMedia
Partners IV, L.P. We anticipate that the acquisition of these systems by AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services will be completed during the fourth quarter of
1999 and that we will earn an annual fee of 3% of gross revenues in exchange for
providing consulting services. For the year ended December 31, 1998, the managed
Indiana systems had revenues of $48.8 million. Nearly all of the managed Indiana
systems are contiguous to the Indiana systems.



     Our consulting services are expected to be supervision and management of
the day-to-day operations of the managed Indiana systems. Ultimate control of
the systems will remain with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services. We will not be
permitted to take any actions outside of the ordinary course of business without
the consent of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services. Such extraordinary actions
would include specifically acquisitions and sales of assets, borrowing money,
handling litigations and related party transactions. The consulting arrangement
would be subject to termination upon 60 days' notice by AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services upon breach of the consulting arrangement with failure to cure
the breach within 15 days, as well as our commission of any acts constituting
bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct.


  THE NATIONAL SYSTEMS


     The national systems passed approximately 149,400 homes and served
approximately 86,800 customers on March 31, 1999. The national systems have
three major clusters: Rockford, Illinois; Griffin, Georgia; and Claremont,
California.


     In addition to our traditional video and data services, we intend to begin
offering telecommunication services in 2000.

     Rockford, Illinois


     As of March 31, 1999, the Rockford system passed approximately 100,000
homes and served approximately 64,900 customers from a single headend. Rockford
is Illinois' second largest city. Major employers in the Rockford metropolitan
area include: Chrysler Corporation, Rockford Health System, Sundstrand
Corporation and Swedish American Health Systems. The median household income for
the area is approximately $39,300 per year, while the median family income is
approximately $47,800 per year.



     Immediately after acquiring the system in January 1998, we began rebuilding
the existing channel-bound, 42 channel system to 750 MHz. We are adding 11
analog channels and launching our digital cable service on a node-by-node basis
as the network is activated. We launched our Digital Gateway service during
February 1999 to approximately 3,500 homes. We expect to introduce @Home
high-speed data services to our Rockford customers during the fourth quarter of
1999. We plan to complete the rebuild of the Rockford system by the end of 1999.


     Griffin, Georgia


     As of March 31, 1999, the Griffin system passed approximately 19,200 homes
and served approximately 13,100 customers from a single headend. Major employers
in the area include Springs Industries, NACOM and William Carter Apparel. The
median household income for the area is approximately $34,700 per year, while
the median family income is approximately $40,500 per year.


     We launched our digital service in the Griffin system in December 1998,
bringing many new entertainment options to our customers. Being a smaller market
that still has unused channel capacity, we launched a scaled-down version of our
Digital Gateway service, similar to our full digital service except that it is
not interactive. Despite a more limited product offering, we have achieved
significant success with over 10% penetration within four months of launch
generating incremental revenue per month of over $16.00 per

                                       58

digital customer. The Griffin launch was the first digital deployment of our
multi-tiered approach in the country. We have no current plans to launch @Home
in the Griffin market. Instead of launching a fully two-way data service, we are
considering a cable modem technology that will utilize telephone lines for
upstream communications.

     Claremont, California


     As of March 31, 1999, the Claremont systems passed approximately 30,200
homes and served approximately 8,900 customers from three headends. The largest
portion of the system is in Claremont, which is located 30 miles east of Los
Angeles on the lower slopes of the San Gabriel Mountains. The community is
primarily residential with about 90% of the city's structures used as
residences. Claremont is the home of the Claremont Colleges, which includes
Claremont McKenna College, Harvey Mudd College, Pitzer College, Pomona College,
Scripps College and the Claremont Graduate University. The community has very
attractive demographics, with more than 50% of the residents holding a
bachelor's degree and a graduate or professional degree. Besides the Colleges,
major employers in the Claremont area include the Claremont Unified School
District, Bausch & Lomb and Hi-Rel Connectors, Inc. The median household income
for the area is approximately $38,200 per year, while the median family income
is approximately $42,400 per year. The smaller portion of the system serves
Artesia and Bell/Cudehy, California, which are also located east of Los Angeles.
We are currently contemplating a digital launch in Claremont which will be
similar to our digital launch in Griffin, Georgia.


  THE COLUMBUS SYSTEM


     As of March 31, 1999, the Columbus system passed approximately 173,000
homes and served approximately 86,600 customers from a single headend. The
system is located in the eastern portion of the City of Columbus and surrounding
suburban communities. We own 75% of the non-voting common membership interests
of Insight Ohio, the entity that was formed to acquire the Columbus system.
Coaxial Communications owns the remaining 25% of the non-voting common
membership interests and 100% of the voting preferred membership interests. We
serve as manager of Insight Ohio and of the three shareholders of Coaxial
Communications, and thereby have effective control of the management and affairs
of Coaxial Communications, its shareholders and Insight Ohio. See "Description
of Recent Transactions--The Transactions to Acquire the Columbus System."


     The City of Columbus is the 34th largest designated market area, is the
capital of Ohio and is the home of Ohio State University. In addition to the
state government and university, the Columbus economy is well diversified with
the significant presence of prominent companies such as The Limited, Merck,
Wendy's, Nationwide Insurance, Borden and Worthington Industries. The area's
strong economy provides for a well-paid employment base with an unemployment
rate of approximately 2.9%. The median household income for our service area is
approximately $47,800 per year, while the median family income is approximately
$57,000 per year.


     The Columbus system enjoys a high level of population growth in the
suburban communities east of Columbus. Over the past three years, more than
14,600 homes passed have been added to the Columbus system through network
extensions, primarily in new housing developments. This represents a 3.1%
compound annual growth rate of homes passed for the Columbus system.



     In 1996, Ameritech obtained a citywide cable television franchise for the
City of Columbus. Ameritech has built its citywide franchise, both in our
service area and in the Time Warner service area on the west side of Columbus.
We and Time Warner service virtually distinct areas and therefore do not compete
with one another. The areas of the Columbus system served by both Insight and
Ameritech pass approximately 120,000 homes, representing 71% of the Columbus
system's total homes passed.



     We are currently rebuilding the Columbus system to 870 MHz. We expect to
begin servicing customers from our rebuilt network by August 1999. We will begin
launching our Digital Gateway service, including DIVA's video-on-demand service
and the LocalSource interactive information service. We have entered into a
nonbinding letter of intent to launch the Road Runner service and expect to
begin offering the high-speed data service during the fourth quarter of 1999.


                                       59


     When we acquired the Columbus system, we implemented a strategy to end deep
discounting as a defense against Ameritech. We believed that a relatively small
customer loss, caused by discontinuing discounts, would be preferable in
exchange for increasing the average monthly revenue per customer. As a result of
this strategy, from June 30, 1998 to December 31, 1998, the average monthly
revenue per customer increased from approximately $43.30 to $46.85, while the
number of customers decreased from approximately 91,100 to 88,600. Ameritech
seems to have responded to this strategy by recently announcing a $1.75 increase
in the price of their standard cable service and a $0.26 increase in the price
of pay-per-view movies.



     As with our national, Indiana and Kentucky systems, we intend to launch a
voice telephony alternative to Ameritech through our joint venture with AT&T.
Time Warner, the other major cable television provider in the market, also has
announced a joint venture agreement with AT&T.


  THE KENTUCKY SYSTEMS


     In April 1999, we entered into an agreement with Blackstone Capital,
InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC and a subsidiary and related party of AT&T
Broadband & Internet Services to purchase a combined 50% interest in InterMedia
Capital Partners VI, L.P. for $335.0 million, including expenses, subject to
adjustment, which was calculated based upon InterMedia's total outstanding debt
plus accrued interest, which was $738.9 million as of March 31, 1999. We also
entered into an agreement with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, which
provides that we will each own a 50% interest and we will manage and operate the
Kentucky systems upon the completion of the Kentucky acquisition. InterMedia
Capital Partners VI, L.P. was formed by AT&T Broadband & Internet Services,
Blackstone Capital and InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC to acquire cable
television systems which, as of March 31, 1999, served approximately 425,400
basic customers and passed approximately 657,400 homes primarily in four
operating clusters in the State of Kentucky. InterMedia Capital Partners VI,
L.P. is the largest cable operator in the state, with over 95% of its systems
located in four of the five largest cities in the state: Louisville; Lexington;
Covington; and Bowling Green. Presently, more than 87% of the systems' customers
are served by four headends, which is precisely consistent with our operating
strategy to own highly clustered properties.


     In addition to our traditional video and data services, we intend to begin
offering telecommunications services in 2000.


     Summary statistics for the Kentucky systems are as follows:


     Louisville


     As of March 31, 1999, the Louisville system passed approximately 363,200
homes and served approximately 234,300 customers. Louisville is Kentucky's
largest city and is located in the northern region of the state, bordering
Indiana. Louisville is located within a day's drive of nearly 50% of the United
States population, which makes it an important crossroads for trade and
business. Major employers in the Louisville metropolitan area include Humana,
UPS, General Electric and Ford. The median household income for the area is
approximately $38,100 while the median family income is approximately $46,100.


     The Louisville system is currently undergoing a rebuild and we intend to
serve all of its customers with two-way 750 MHz hybrid fiber coaxial cable by
December 31, 1999. The system is also in the process of interconnecting six
headends, which will allow the entire system to be served from a single headend.


     InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. launched its digital service in
Louisville in November 1998. The service already has approximately 4,600
customers. The Louisville system recently launched the @Home service.


     Lexington


     As of March 31, 1999, the Lexington system passed approximately 116,500
homes and served approximately 81,000 customers from a single headend. Lexington
is Kentucky's second largest city, located in the Blue Grass region, in the
central part of the state. Major employers in the Lexington area include the


                                       60


University of Kentucky, Toyota and Lexmark International. The median household
income for the area is approximately $40,400, while the median family income is
approximately $51,500.



     The Lexington system is currently undergoing a rebuild and we intend to
serve all of its customers with two-way 750 MHz hybrid fiber coaxial cable by
December 31, 1999. InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. launched its digital
service in Lexington in October of 1998 and has achieved penetration levels of
approximately 16% in the areas where digital is available. The Lexington system
has launched the @Home service.


     Covington


     As of March 31, 1999, the Covington system passed approximately 123,400
homes and served approximately 71,900 customers from a single headend. Covington
is Kentucky's fifth largest city. Major employers in the Covington area include
Delta, Toyota, Citicorp and DHL. The median household income for the area is
approximately $42,700, while the median family income is approximately $51,500.



     The Covington system is currently undergoing a rebuild and is expected to
serve all of its customers with two-way 750 MHz hybrid fiber coaxial cable by
December 31, 1999. The Covington system recently launched the @Home service.
Digital service is also available in Covington. There is a small overbuild by
FrontierVision of the Covington system relating to approximately 7,400 homes in
Boone County. Under an agreement with FrontierVision, we will aquire the
FrontierVision Covington customers, including those located in the overbuild.


     Bowling Green


     As of March 31, 1999, the Bowling Green system passed approximately 32,800
homes and served approximately 21,700 customers from a single headend. Bowling
Green is located 120 miles south of Louisville, 110 miles southwest of Lexington
and 70 miles north of Nashville, Tennessee. Bowling Green is the fourth largest
city in Kentucky and is the economic center for Southcentral Kentucky and is the
home of Western Kentucky University. Major employers in the Bowling Green area
include Fruit of the Loom, Camping World, Desa International and Holley

$34,500, while the median family income is approximately $41,800.


     The Bowling Green system is fully rebuilt to two-way 750 MHz hybrid fiber
coaxial cable. Recently, digital and @Home services have been launched in
Bowling Green.



Other Kentucky Systems


     InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. has entered into an agreement to
exchange the Danville system, which passes 21,500 homes and serves 16,600
customers, for FrontierVision's Carrollton, Kentucky system. Completion of this
exchange agreement is subject to various conditions.


CUSTOMER RATES


     Monthly customer rates for services vary from market to market. As of
March 31, 1999, our average monthly basic service rate for residential customers
was $10.22, monthly classic service rates for residential customers ranged from
$11.43 to $20.00, and per channel premium service rates, not including special
promotions, ranged from $5.95 to $15.28 per service. As of March 31, 1999, the
weighted average revenue, including special promotions, for our monthly combined
basic and classic service was approximately $25.46, which is below the national
average of $27.43 as reported by Paul Kagan & Associates.


     A one-time installation fee, which we may reduce during promotional
periods, is charged to new customers, as well as reconnected customers. Insight
charges monthly fees for set top boxes and remote control devices. We also
charge administrative fees for delinquent payments for service. Customers are
free to discontinue service at any time without additional charge and may be
charged a reconnection fee to resume service. Commercial customers, such as
hotels, motels and hospitals, are charged negotiated monthly fees and a
non-recurring fee for the installation of service. Multiple dwelling unit
accounts may be offered a bulk rate in exchange for single-point billing and
basic service to all units.

SALES AND MARKETING

     We seek to increase penetration levels for our basic service, classic
service, premium channels and enhanced products and services through a variety
of marketing, branding and promotional strategies. We seek to maximize our
revenue per customer through the use of packaging strategies to market premium
services and to develop and promote niche programming services. We regularly use
targeted telemarketing campaigns to sell these packages and services to our
existing customer base. Our customer service representatives are trained and
given the support to use their daily contacts with customers as opportunities to
sell our new service offerings.

     Due to the nature of the communities we serve, we are able to market our
services in ways not typically used by urban cable operators. We can market
products and services to our customers at our local offices where many of our
customers pay their cable bills in person. Examples of our in-store marketing
include the promotion of premium services as well as point-of-purchase displays
that will allow customers to experience our high-speed Internet service and
digital products. We aggressively promote our services utilizing both broad and
targeted marketing tactics, including outbound telemarketing, direct mail,
cross-channel promotion, print and broadcast.

     We build awareness of the Insight brand through advertising campaigns and
strong community relations. As a result of our branding efforts and consistent
service standards, we believe we have developed a reputation for quality and
reliability. We also believe that our marketing strategies are particularly
effective due to our regional clustering, and market significance which enables
us to reach a greater number of both current and potential customers in an
efficient, uniform manner.


     Prior to the introduction of telephony service by our joint venture with
AT&T we intend to aggressively pursue co-marketing campaigns with AT&T. We
expect to launch a campaign in Evansville, Indiana where customers subscribing
to the digital service who are also AT&T long distance customers will realize
savings off of their cable and long distance provided they remain customers of
us and AT&T. We expect to rollout similar programs in other systems until we are
able to provide the complete package of entertainment, information and telephony
products on a bundled basis.


PROGRAMMING SUPPLY

     Most cable companies purchase their programming product directly from the
program networks by entering into a contractual relationship with the program
supplier. The vast majority of these program suppliers offer the cable operator
license fee rate cards with size-based volume discounts and other financial
incentives, such as launch and marketing support and cross-channel advertising.


     Due to our different strategic partnerships, we have had the benefit of
securing our programming from a variety of sources. Since 1986, our partnership
with MediaOne has enabled us to purchase our core program product, for both our
national systems and the Columbus system, at MediaOne's cost. While these rates
have been more favorable due to MediaOne's overall size, we have been very
aggressive in successfully negotiating additional programming deals directly
with our suppliers, depending upon our respective systems' needs and location.



     In anticipation of redeeming MediaOne's interest in Insight, we have
continued to secure competitive programming agreements, independent of our
current MediaOne partnership. While it is expected that product license fees,
such as those we pay for sports programming, will increase due to the loss of
MediaOne's volume benefit, we believe that through a combination of our own
market purchasing power, the possibility of new strategic MSO alliances and the
utilization of programming co-operatives, such as Tele-synergy and the National
Cable Television Cooperative, we will be able to secure rates which will be
consistent with the cable industry average. No assurance can be given that we
will be able to secure such rates. Programming co-operatives leverage their
cable members' total service customer size to maximize volume discounts to
purchase programming at reduced license fees.


     Currently there are over 130 cable networks competing for carriage on our
analog and digital platforms. We have continued to leverage both our systems'
analog rebuilds and newly deployed digital packages as an

                                       62

incentive to our suppliers to secure long term programming deals with reasonable
price structures and other creative financial arrangements to offset license fee
increases.


     Because of our relationship with AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, we
will have the right to purchase programming services for the Indiana systems
and, upon completion of the Kentucky acquisition, for the Kentucky systems,
directly through AT&T Broadband & Internet Services' programming supplier
Satellite Services, Inc. We believe that Satellite Services has attractive
programming costs. Additionally, given the clustering of our systems in the
Midwest, we have been successful in affiliating with regionally based
programming products such as sports and news, at lower than average license
fees.


COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY RELATIONS


     We believe that maintaining strong community relations will continue to be
an important factor in ensuring our long-term success. Our community-oriented
initiatives include educational programs and the sponsorship of programs and
events recognizing outstanding local citizens. In addition, members of our
management team host community events for political and business leaders as well
as representatives of the local media where they discuss the operations of
Insight and recent developments in the telecommunications industry. We have
received numerous awards recognizing our ongoing community relations. We believe
that our ongoing community relations initiatives result in consumer and
governmental goodwill and name recognition, which have increased customer
loyalty and will likely facilitate any future efforts to provide new
telecommunications services.


     We encourage local management to take a leadership role in community and
civic activities. Over the years, our systems have received numerous awards in
recognition of their efforts to support local causes and charities as well as
programs that encourage a better way of life in the communities they serve.
Awards have been received from such diverse organizations as the Epilepsy
Foundation, the YMCA Black Achievers, the Domestic Violence Center and Project
Welcome Home, which provides assistance to less fortunate people in the
community.


     The Griffin, Georgia system recently received the Star Award from the Cable
Association of Georgia for the production and airing of "Stay in School" and
"Parents Volunteer" public service announcements. The Rockford, Illinois system
received awards and recognition from 13 community organizations in 1998. Cable
industry recognition and awards for excellence in marketing and programming have
been received by several of our systems including the Columbus system and the
Lafayette, Indiana system.


     All of our systems provide ongoing support for Cable in the Classroom, an
industry initiative that earns recognition both locally and nationally for its
efforts in furthering the education of children.


     One of the advantages a local cable operator has over nationally
distributed competitors is its ability to develop local programming. To further
strengthen community relations and differentiate us from direct broadcast
satellite television systems and other multichannel video providers, we provide
locally produced and oriented programming. Several of our systems have full
production capabilities, with in-house and/or mobile production studios to
create local content. To attract viewers, we offer a broad range of local
programing alternatives, including community information, local government
proceedings and local specialty interest shows. In some of our markets, we are
the exclusive broadcaster of local college and high school sporting events,
which we believe provides unique programming and builds customer loyalty. We
believe that our emphasis on local programming creates significant opportunities
for increased advertising revenues. Locally originated programming will also
play an integral role in the deployment of our new and enhanced products and
services. Customized local content will be available to our customers through
our digital cable and high-speed data services, as users will be able to access
local information, such as weather reports, school closings and community event
schedules on-demand.


                                       63

FRANCHISES


     Cable television systems are constructed and operated under fixed-term
non-exclusive franchises or other types of operating authorities that are
granted by either local governmental or centralized state authorities. These
franchises typically contain many conditions, such as:


     o Time limitations on commencement and completion of construction;


     o Conditions of service, including the number of channels, the provision of
       free service to schools and other public institutions;


     o The maintenance of insurance and indemnity bonds; and

     o The payment of fees to communities.


These local franchises are subject to limits imposed by federal law.



     As of January 31, 1999 on a pro forma basis, we held 385 franchises in the
aggregate, consisting of 156 in the Indiana systems, 15 in the national systems,
28 in the Columbus system and 186 in the Kentucky systems. As of the same date,
no such franchises accounted for more than 5% of our total revenues. Many of
these franchises require the payment of fees to the issuing authorities of 3% to
5% of gross revenues, as defined by each franchise agreement, from the related
cable system. The 1984 Cable Act prohibits franchising authorities from imposing
annual franchise fees in excess of 5% of gross annual revenues and also permits
the cable television system operator to seek renegotiation and modification of
franchise requirements if warranted by changed circumstances that render
performance commercially impracticable.



     The following table summarizes information relating to the year of
expiration of our franchises as of March 31, 1999 on a pro forma basis:

 * We operate these franchises on a month-to-month basis. We are in the process
   of renewing them.

** Does not reflect the managed Indiana systems, and does not include the
   proposed exchange of InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P.'s Danville,
   Kentucky system for FrontierVision's Carrollton, Kentucky system.


     The Cable Acts provide, among other things, for an orderly franchise
renewal process which limits a franchising authority's ability to deny a
franchise renewal if the incumbent operator follows prescribed renewal
procedures. In addition, the Cable Acts established comprehensive renewal
procedures which require, when properly elected by an operator, that an
incumbent franchisee's renewal application be assessed on its own merits and not
as part of a comparative process with competing applications.

     We believe that our cable systems generally have good relationships with
their respective franchise authorities. We never had a franchise revoked or
failed to have a franchise renewed.

COMPETITION

     Cable systems face increasing competition from alternative methods of
receiving and distributing their core video business. Both wireline and wireless
competitors have made inroads in competing against incumbent cable operators.
The extent to which a cable operator is competitive depends, in part, upon its
ability to provide to customers, at a reasonable price, a greater variety of
programming and other communications services than are available off-air or
through alternative delivery sources and upon superior technical performance and
customer service.

                                       64


     The 1996 Telecom Act makes it easier for local exchange telephone companies
and others to provide a wide variety of video services competitive with services
provided by cable systems. Various local exchange telephone companies currently
are providing video services within and outside their telephone service areas
through a variety of distribution methods, including the deployment of broadband
cable networks and the use of wireless transmission facilities. Local exchange
telephone companies in various states have either announced plans, obtained
local franchise authorizations or are currently competing with our cable
communications systems. Currently, our most significant wireline competition is
from a related party of Ameritech Corporation, which has been awarded cable
franchises in the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area that are currently served by
us as the incumbent cable operator. Local exchange telephone companies and other
companies also provide facilities for the transmission and distribution to homes
and businesses of interactive computer-based services, including the Internet,
as well as data and other non-video services. The ability of local exchange
telephone companies to cross-subsidize video, data and telephony services also
poses some threat to cable operators.



     Franchised cable systems compete with private cable systems for the right
to service condominiums, apartment complexes and other multiple unit residential
developments. The operators of these private systems, known as satellite master
antenna television systems often enter into exclusive agreements with apartment
building owners or homeowners' associations that preclude franchised cable
television operators from serving residents of such private complexes. However,
the 1984 Cable Act gives franchised cable operators the right to use existing
compatible easements within their franchise areas on nondiscriminatory terms and
conditions. Accordingly, where there are preexisting compatible easements, cable
operators may not be unfairly denied access or discriminated against with
respect to access to the premises served by those easements. Conflicting
judicial decisions have been issued interpreting the scope of the access right
granted by the 1984 Cable Act, particularly with respect to easements located
entirely on private property.



     The 1996 Telecom Act may exempt some of our competitors from regulation as
cable systems. The 1996 Telecom Act amends the definition of a "cable system"
such that providers of competitive video programming are only regulated and
franchised as "cable systems" if they use public rights-of-way. Thus, a broader
class of entities providing video programming, including operators of satellite
master antenna television systems, may be exempt from regulation as cable
television systems under the 1996 Telecom Act. This exemption may give these
entities a competitive advantage over us.



     Congress has enacted legislation and the FCC has adopted regulatory
policies providing a more favorable operating environment for new and existing
technologies, in particular direct broadcast satellite television systems
operators, that have the potential to provide increased competition to cable
systems. We expect satellite companies to be permitted to retransmit local
television signals in the near future which will eliminate one of the objections
of consumers about switching to satellites.



     Direct broadcast satellite television systems use digital video compression
technology to increase the channel capacity of their systems. Direct broadcast
satellite television system programming is currently available to individual
households, condominiums and apartment and office complexes through
conventional, medium and high-power satellites. High-power direct broadcast
satellite television system service is currently being provided by DIRECTV,
Inc., and EchoStar Communications Corporation, and medium-power service is being
provided by PrimeStar, Inc. DIRECTV recently acquired PrimeStar's medium-power
direct broadcast satellite business and United States Satellite Broadcasting.
These and other recently announced transactions would result in DIRECTV and
EchoStar obtaining additional high-power channel capacity of direct broadcast
satellite television systems through the acquisition of other direct broadcast
satellite television system facilities and channel capacity. If these
transactions are approved, DIRECTV and EchoStar will be able to significantly
increase the number of channels on which they can provide programming to
customers. Direct broadcast satellite television systems have some advantages
over cable systems that were not rebuilt, such as increased channel capacity and
digital picture quality. Alternatively, its disadvantages currently include
expensive up-front customer equipment and installation costs and a lack of local
programming and service.



     Cable operators also compete with wireless program distribution services
such as analog and digital multichannel, multipoint distribution service, which
use microwave frequencies to transmit video programming over-the-air to
customers. There are operators of multipoint multichannel distribution systems
who are authorized to provide or are providing broadcast and satellite
programming to customers in areas served by our cable systems.


                                       65


Additionally, the FCC adopted regulations allocating frequencies in the 28 GHz
band for a new service called local multipoint distribution service that can be
used to provide video services similar to multipoint multichannel distribution
systems. The FCC held spectrum auctions for local multipoint distribution
service licenses in February-March 1998, and scheduled a further auction which
commenced in April 1999.


     Other new technologies may become competitive with services that cable
communications systems can offer. Advances in communications technology, as well
as changes in the marketplace and the regulatory and legislative environment are
constantly occurring. Thus, we cannot predict the effect of ongoing or future
developments on the cable communications industry or on our operations.


     The most competitive alternatives to the incumbent cable operator are
operators of direct broadcast satellite systems, operators of multipoint
distribution systems and direct wireline overbuilders.



     o Direct broadcast satellite television systems have more channels and
       better picture and sound quality over cable operators who have not
       rebuilt their systems nor added digital. However, direct broadcast
       satellite television systems do not offer locally produced programming,
       nor does it have a significant local presence in the community. In
       addition, direct broadcast satellite television systems are more
       expensive than cable, especially if it is desired to be on more than one
       TV in the household. Finally, direct broadcast satellite television
       systems do not have the same full two-way capability, which we believe
       will limit its ability to compete in a meaningful way in high-speed data
       and voice telephony.



     o Multipoint multichannel distribution systems offers a lower cost
       alternative to direct broadcasting satellite television systems, but
       serious transmission limitations caused by the need to have line of sight
       access to customers have hampered its growth. Multipoint multichannel
       distribution systems is also not currently capable of delivering a fully
       two-way alternative to cable's high-speed data and has no immediate plans
       to deliver voice telephony. Hybrid platforms, using the telephone for
       upstream, have speed and technical limitations when compared to a
       broadband network.


     Cable television systems are operated under non-exclusive franchises
granted by local authorities thereby allowing more than one cable system to be
built in the same area. Although the number of municipal and commercial
overbuild cable systems is small, the potential profitability of a cable system
is adversely affected if the local customer base is divided among multiple
systems. Additionally, constructing a competing cable system is a capital
intensive process which involves a high degree of risk. We believe that in order
to be successful, a competitor's overbuild would need to be able to serve the
homes in the overbuilt area on a more cost-effective basis than we can. Any such
overbuild operation would require either significant access to capital or access
to facilities already in place that are capable of delivering cable television
programming.

EMPLOYEES

     As of March 31, 1999, we employed 1,032 full-time employees and 53
part-time employees. We consider our relations with our employees to be good.
Other than 21 employees, none of our employees are subject to collective
bargaining agreements. Such 21 employees are represented by Local 4900 of the
Communications Workers of America, AFL-CIO-CLC. Their union contract expired on
October 30, 1998 and we are currently negotiating a new contract.

PROPERTIES

     A cable television system consists of three principal operating components:


     o The first component, the signal reception processing and originating
       point called a "headend," receives television, cable programming service,
       radio and data signals that are transmitted by means of off-air antennas,
       microwave relay systems and satellite earth systems. Each headend
       includes a tower, antennae or other receiving equipment at a location
       favorable for receiving broadcast signals and one or more earth stations
       that receives signals transmitted by satellite. The headend facility also
       houses the electronic equipment which amplifies, modifies and modulates
       the signals, preparing them for passage over the system's network of
       cables;



     o The second component of the system, the distribution network, originates
       at the headend and extends throughout the system's service area. A cable
       system's distribution network consists of microwave relays, coaxial or
       fiber optic cables placed on utility poles or buried underground and
       associated electronic equipment; and


                                       66

     o The third component of the system is a "drop cable," which extends from
       the distribution network into each customer's home and connects the
       distribution system to the customer's television set.


     We own and lease parcels of real property for signal reception sites which
house our antenna towers and headends, microwave complexes and business offices
which includes our principal executive offices. In addition, we own our cable
systems' distribution networks, various office fixtures, test equipment and
service vehicles. The physical components of our cable systems require
maintenance and periodic rebuilding to keep pace with technological advances. We
believe that our properties, both owned and leased, are in good condition and
are suitable and adequate for our business operations as presently conducted and
as proposed to be conducted.


LEGAL PROCEEDINGS


     The Utah systems that we transferred to AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
in exchange for systems in Indiana were named on June 19, 1998 in the Third
Judicial Court of Salt Lake County, State of Utah in a class action entitled
Carl R. Buckland and Donna L. Callahan vs. TCI Cablevision of Utah, Inc.,
Telecommunications, Inc., TCI Communications, Inc., Insight Communications, Inc.
et al. Plaintiffs generally allege that the late fees charged by the systems are
not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable systems as a result of
the late payment. Plaintiffs seek compensation from the systems for late fees
charged in past periods. The cases are at various stages of litigation. The
exchange agreement between AT&T Broadband & Internet Services and Insight states
that the litigation will remain a liability of Insight.



     Some of the systems AT&T Broadband & Internet Services contributed to
Insight Indiana were named on September 23, 1997 in the Morgan Superior Court in
a class action entitled Franklin E. Littell, John Herring, Jr., Scott Butcher,
Tracy B. Phillips vs. Telecommunications, Inc., TCI Communications, Inc., UACC
Midwest, Inc., dba TCI of Evansville, TCI of Indiana, Inc. Plaintiffs'
allegations are similar to those in the litigation concerning the Utah systems.
The cases are at various stages of litigation. The asset contribution agreement
between AT&T Broadband & Internet Services and Insight states that the
litigation will remain a liability of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services.



     The Kentucky systems that will be acquired in the Kentucky acquisition were
named on January 26, 1998 in the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Bullitt Circuit Court
in a class action entitled Kathleen Schmidt vs. TeleCommunications, Inc., TCI
Cablevision of Kentucky Inc., TCI Cablevision of North Central. Plaintiffs'
allegations are similar to those in the litigation concerning the Utah systems.
On April 30, 1999, the plaintiff filed an amended complaint adding InterMedia
Partners of Kentucky, L.P., a subsidiary of InterMedia Capital Partners VI,
L.P., as an additional defendant. Pursuant to a contribution agreement between
InterMedia and TCI, InterMedia submitted on April 30, 1999 a request for
indemnity to TCI.



     Some of the Kentucky systems that will be acquired in the Kentucky
acquisition were named on March 26, 1999 in the Jefferson County Circuit Court
in a class action entitled Alfred P. Sykes, Jr., Charles Pearl, Linda Pearl vs.
InterMedia Partners of Kentucky, L.P. and TCI TKR of Jefferson County, Inc.
Plaintiffs allege that InterMedia unlawfully passed through to its customers
state and local property tax charges. Plaintiffs seek to enjoin InterMedia from
collecting state and local property taxes and money damages. TCI is obligated to
indemnify and hold harmless InterMedia for this litigation insofar as it relates
to periods prior to closing.



     Some of the Kentucky systems that will be acquired in the Kentucky
acquisition were named on March 24, 1999 in the Jefferson County Circuit Court
in a class action entitled James F. Dooley vs. TCI TKR of Jefferson County and
InterMedia Partners of Kentucky, L.P. Plaintiff's allegations are similar to the
other litigation concerning the pass through of state and local property taxes.
TCI is obligated to indemnify and hold harmless InterMedia for this litigation
insofar as it relates to periods prior to closing.



     Some of the Kentucky systems that will be acquired in the Kentucky
acquisition were named on June 4, 1999 in the Franklin County Circuit Court in a
class action entitled Charles Show and Loretta Show vs. TCI TKR of Northern
Kentucky, Inc., TCI TKR of Southern Kentucky, Inc., TCI Cablevision of North
Central Kentucky, Inc., TCI CableVision of Kentucky, Inc. and InterMedia
Partners of Kentucky, L.P. Plaintiffs' allegations are similar to the other
litigation concerning the pass through of state and local property taxes. TCI is
obligated to indemnify and hold harmless InterMedia for this litigation insofar
as it relates to periods prior to closing.


     We believe there are no other pending or threatened legal proceedings that,
if adversely determined, would have a material adverse effect on us.

                           LEGISLATION AND REGULATION

     The cable television industry is regulated by the FCC, some state
governments and the applicable local governments. In addition, various
legislative and regulatory proposals under consideration from time to time by
Congress and various federal agencies have in the past, and may in the future,
materially affect Insight. The following is a summary of federal laws and
regulations materially affecting the growth and operation of the cable
television industry and a description of certain state and local laws. We
believe that the regulation of the cable television industry remains a matter of
interest to Congress, the FCC and other regulatory authorities. There can be no
assurance as to what, if any, future actions such legislative and regulatory
authorities may take or the effect thereof on Insight.

FEDERAL LEGISLATION

     The principal federal statute governing the cable television industry is
the Communications Act. As it affects the cable television industry, the
Communications Act has been significantly amended on three occasions, by the
1984 Cable Act, the 1992 Cable Act and the 1996 Telecom Act. The 1996 Telecom
Act altered the regulatory structure governing the nation's telecommunications
providers. It removed barriers to competition in both the cable television
market and the local telephone market. Among other things, it also reduced the
scope of cable rate regulation. In addition, the 1996 Telecom Act required the
FCC to undertake a number of rulemakings to implement the legislation, some of
which have yet to be completed.

FEDERAL REGULATION

     The FCC, the principal federal regulatory agency with jurisdiction over
cable television, has adopted regulations covering such areas as cross-ownership
between cable television systems and other communications businesses, carriage
of television broadcast programming, cable rates, consumer protection and
customer service, leased access, indecent programming, programmer access to
cable television systems, programming agreements, technical standards, consumer
electronics equipment compatibility, ownership of home wiring, program
exclusivity, equal employment opportunity, consumer education and lockbox
enforcement, origination cablecasting and sponsorship identification, children's
programming, signal leakage and frequency use, maintenance of various records,
and antenna structure notification, marking and lighting. The FCC has the
authority to enforce these regulations through the imposition of substantial
fines, the issuance of cease and desist orders and/or the imposition of other
administrative sanctions, such as the revocation of FCC licenses needed to
operate certain transmission facilities often used in connection with cable
operations. A brief summary of certain of these federal regulations as adopted
to date follows.

  Rate Regulation


     The 1984 Cable Act codified existing FCC preemption of rate regulation for
premium channels and optional non-basic program tiers. The 1984 Cable Act also
deregulated basic cable rates for cable television systems determined by the FCC
to be subject to effective competition. The 1992 Cable Act substantially changed
the previous statutory and FCC rate regulation standards. The 1992 Cable Act
replaced the FCC's old standard for determining effective competition, under
which most cable television systems were not subject to rate regulation, with a
statutory provision that resulted in nearly all cable television systems
becoming subject to rate regulation of basic service. The 1996 Telecom Act
expands the definition of effective competition to cover situations where a
local telephone company or its affiliate, or any multichannel video provider
using telephone company facilities, offers comparable video service by any means
except direct broadcast satellite television systems. Satisfaction of this test
deregulates all rates.



     For cable systems not subject to effective competition, the 1992 Cable Act
required the FCC to adopt a formula for franchising authorities to assure that
basic cable rates are reasonable; allowed the FCC to review rates for cable
programming service tiers, other than per-channel or per-program services, in
response to complaints filed by franchising authorities and/or cable customers;
prohibited cable television systems from requiring basic customers to purchase
service tiers above basic service in order to purchase premium services if the
system is technically capable of compliance; required the FCC to adopt
regulations to establish, on the basis of actual costs, the price for
installation of cable service, remote controls, converter boxes and


                                       68


additional outlets; and allowed the FCC to impose restrictions on the retiering
and rearrangement of cable services under certain limited circumstances. The
1996 Telecom Act limited the class of complainants regarding cable programming
service tier rates to franchising authorities only, after first receiving two
rate complaints from local customers, and ended FCC regulation of cable
programming service tier rates on March 31, 1999. The 1996 Telecom Act also
relaxes existing uniform rate requirements by specifying that such requirements
do not apply where the operator faces effective competition, and by exempting
bulk discounts to multiple dwelling units, although complaints about predatory
pricing may be lodged with the FCC.



     The FCC's implementing regulations contain standards for the regulation of
basic service rates. Local franchising authorities and the FCC, respectively,
are empowered to order a reduction of existing rates which exceed the maximum
permitted level for basic services and associated equipment, and refunds can be
required. The FCC adopted a benchmark price cap system for measuring the
reasonableness of existing basic service rates. Alternatively, cable operators
have the opportunity to make cost-of-service showings which, in some cases, may
justify rates above the applicable benchmarks. The rules also require that
charges for cable-related equipment, converter boxes and remote control devices,
for example, and installation services be unbundled from the provision of cable
service and based upon actual costs plus a reasonable profit. The regulations
also provide that future rate increases may not exceed an inflation-indexed
amount, plus increases in certain costs beyond the cable operator's control,
such as taxes, franchise fees and increased programming costs. Cost-based
adjustments to these capped rates can also be made in the event a cable
television operator adds or deletes channels. There is also a streamlined
cost-of-service methodology available to justify a rate increase on the basic
tier for "significant" system rebuilds or upgrades.



     As a further alternative, in 1995 the FCC adopted a simplified
cost-of-service methodology which can be used by "small cable systems" owned by
"small cable companies." A "small system" is defined as a cable television
system which has, on a headend basis, 15,000 or fewer basic customers. A "small
cable company" is defined as an entity serving a total of 400,000 or fewer basic
customers that is not affiliated with a larger cable television company, that is
to say that a larger cable television company does not own more than a 20
percent equity share or exercise de jure control. This small system rate-setting
methodology almost always results in rates which exceed those produced by the
cost-of-service rules applicable to larger cable television operators. Once the
initial rates are set they can be adjusted periodically for inflation and
external cost changes as described above. When an eligible "small system" grows
larger than 15,000 basic customers, it can maintain its then current rates but
it cannot increase its rates in the normal course until an increase would be
warranted under the rules applicable to systems that have more than 15,000
customers. When a "small cable company" grows larger than 400,000 basic
customers, the qualified systems it then owns will not lose their small system
eligibility. If a small cable company sells a qualified system, or if the
company itself is sold, the qualified systems retain that status even if the
acquiring company is not a small cable company. Insight was a "small cable
company" prior to the October 30, 1998 completion of the AT&T Broadband &
Internet Services transaction but it no longer enjoys this status. However, as
noted above, the systems with less than 15,000 customers owned by Insight prior
to the completion of the AT&T Broadband & Internet Services transaction remain
eligible for "small system" rate regulation.


     Finally, there are regulations which require cable television systems to
permit customers to purchase video programming on a per channel or a per program
basis without the necessity of subscribing to any tier of service, other than
the basic service tier, unless the cable television system is technically
incapable of doing so. Generally, this exemption from compliance with the
statute for cable television systems that do not have such technical capability
is available until a cable television system obtains the capability, but not
later than December 2002.

  Carriage of Broadcast Television Signals


     The 1992 Cable Act contains signal carriage requirements which allow
commercial television broadcast stations that are "local" to a cable television
system, that is to say that the system is located in the station's area of
dominant influence, to elect every three years whether to require the cable
television system to carry the station, subject to certain exceptions, or
whether the cable television system will have to negotiate for "retransmission
consent" to carry the station. The next election between must-carry and
retransmission


                                       69


consent will be October 1, 1999. A cable television system is generally required
to devote up to one-third of its activated channel capacity for the carriage of
local commercial television stations whether pursuant to mandatory carriage
requirements or the retransmission consent requirements of the 1992 Cable Act.
Local non-commercial television stations are also given mandatory carriage
rights, subject to certain exceptions, within the larger of: (i) a 50 mile
radius from the station's city of license; or (ii) the station's Grade B
contour, a measure of signal strength. Unlike commercial stations, noncommercial
stations are not given the option to negotiate retransmission consent for the
carriage of their signal. In addition, cable television systems have to obtain
retransmission consent for the carriage of all "distant" commercial broadcast
stations, except for certain "superstations," which are commercial
satellite-delivered independent stations such as WGN. To date, compliance with
the "retransmission consent" and "must carry" provisions of the 1992 Cable Act
has not had a material effect on Insight, although this result may change in the
future depending on such factors as market conditions, channel capacity and
similar matters when such arrangements are renegotiated. The FCC has initiated a
rulemaking proceeding on the carriage of television signals in high definition
and digital formats. The outcome of this proceeding could have a material effect
on the number of services that a cable operator will be required to carry.


  Deletion of Certain Programming

     Cable television systems that have 1,000 or more customers must, upon the
appropriate request of a local television station, delete the simultaneous or
nonsimultaneous network programming of a distant station when such programming
has also been contracted for by the local station on an exclusive basis. FCC
regulations also enable television stations that have obtained exclusive
distribution rights for syndicated programming in their market to require a
cable television system to delete or "black out" such programming from other
television stations which are carried by the cable television system.

  Franchise Fees

     Although franchising authorities may impose franchise fees under the 1984
Cable Act, such payments cannot exceed 5% of a cable television system's annual
gross revenues. Under the 1996 Telecom Act, franchising authorities may not
exact franchise fees from revenues derived from telecommunications services,
although they may be able to exact some additional compensation for the use of
public rights-of-way. Franchising authorities are also empowered, in awarding
new franchises or renewing existing franchises, to require cable television
operators to provide cable-related facilities and equipment and to enforce
compliance with voluntary commitments. In the case of franchises in effect prior
to the effective date of the 1984 Cable Act, franchising authorities may enforce
requirements contained in the franchise relating to facilities, equipment and
services, whether or not cable-related. The 1984 Cable Act, under certain
limited circumstances, permits a cable operator to obtain modifications of
franchise obligations.

  Renewal of Franchises

     The 1984 Cable Act and the 1992 Cable Act establish renewal procedures and
criteria designed to protect incumbent franchisees against arbitrary denials of
renewal and to provide specific grounds for franchising authorities to consider
in making renewal decisions, including a franchisee's performance under the
franchise and community needs. Even after the formal renewal procedures are
invoked, franchising authorities and cable television operators remain free to
negotiate a renewal outside the formal process. Nevertheless, renewal is by no
means assured, as the franchisee must meet certain statutory standards. Even if
a franchise is renewed, a franchising authority may impose new and more onerous
requirements such as rebuilding facilities and equipment, although the
municipality must take into account the cost of meeting such requirements.
Similarly, if a franchising authority's consent is required for the purchase or
sale of a cable television system or franchises, such authority may attempt to
impose burdensome or onerous franchise requirements in connection with a request
for such consent. Historically, franchises have been renewed for cable
television operators that have provided satisfactory services and have complied
with the terms of their franchises. At this time, we are not aware of any
current or past material failure on our part to comply with our franchise
agreements. We believe that we have generally complied with the terms of our
franchises and have provided quality levels of service.

                                       70

     The 1992 Cable Act makes several changes to the process under which a cable
television operator seeks to enforce its renewal rights which could make it
easier in some cases for a franchising authority to deny renewal. Franchising
authorities may consider the "level" of programming service provided by a cable
television operator in deciding whether to renew. For alleged franchise
violations occurring after December 29, 1984, franchising authorities are no
longer precluded from denying renewal based on failure to substantially comply
with the material terms of the franchise where the franchising authority has
"effectively acquiesced" to such past violations. Rather, the franchising
authority is estopped if, after giving the cable television operator notice and
opportunity to cure, it fails to respond to a written notice from the cable
television operator of its failure or inability to cure. Courts may not reverse
a denial of renewal based on procedural violations found to be "harmless error."

  Channel Set-Asides

     The 1984 Cable Act permits local franchising authorities to require cable
television operators to set aside certain television channels for public,
educational and governmental access programming. The 1984 Cable Act further
requires cable television systems with thirty-six or more activated channels to
designate a portion of their channel capacity for commercial leased access by
unaffiliated third parties to provide programming that may compete with services
offered by the cable television operator. The 1992 Cable Act requires leased
access rates to be set according to a formula determined by the FCC.

OWNERSHIP


     The 1996 Telecom Act repealed the statutory ban against local exchange
carriers providing video programming directly to customers within their local
exchange telephone service areas. Consequently, the 1996 Telecom Act permits
telephone companies to compete directly with operations of cable television
systems. Under the 1996 Telecom Act and FCC rules adopted to implement the 1996
Telecom Act, local exchange carriers may provide video service as broadcasters,
common carriers, or cable operators. In addition, local exchange carriers and
others may also provide video service through "open video systems," a regulatory
regime that may give them more flexibility than traditional cable television
systems. Open video system operators (including local exchange carriers) can,
however, be required to obtain a local cable franchise, and they can be required
to make payments to local governmental bodies in lieu of cable franchise fees.
In general, open video system operators must make their systems available to
programming providers on rates, terms and conditions that are reasonable and
nondiscriminatory. Where carriage demand by programming providers exceeds the
channel capacity of an open video system, two-thirds of the channels must be
made available to programmers unaffiliated with the open video system operator.



     The 1996 Telecom Act generally prohibits local exchange carriers from
purchasing any ownership interest in a cable television system exceeding 10%
located within the local exchange carriers telephone service area, prohibits
cable operators from purchasing local exchange carriers whose service areas are
located within the cable operator's franchise area, and prohibits joint ventures
between operators of cable television systems and local exchange carriers
operating in overlapping markets. There are some statutory exceptions, including
a rural exemption that permits buyouts in which the purchased cable television
system or local exchange carrier serves a non-urban area with fewer than 35,000
inhabitants, and exemptions for the purchase of small cable television systems
located in non-urban areas. Also, the FCC may grant waivers of the buyout
provisions in certain circumstances.


     The 1996 Telecom Act makes several other changes to relax ownership
restrictions and regulations of cable television systems. The 1996 Telecom Act
repeals the 1992 Cable Act's three-year holding requirement pertaining to sales
of cable television systems. The statutory broadcast/cable cross-ownership
restrictions imposed under the 1984 Cable Act have been eliminated, although the
FCC's regulations prohibiting broadcast/cable common-ownership currently remain
in effect. The FCC's rules also generally prohibit cable operators from offering
satellite master antenna service separate from their franchised systems in the
same franchise area, unless the cable operator is subject to "effective
competition" there.

     The 1996 Telecom Act amends the definition of a "cable system" under the
Communications Act so that competitive providers of video services will be
regulated and franchised as "cable systems" only if they

                                       71

use public rights-of-way. Thus, a broader class of entities providing video
programming may be exempt from regulation as cable television systems under the
Communications Act.


     Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has imposed limits on the number of
cable television systems which a single cable television operator can own. In
general, no cable television operator can have an attributable interest in cable
television systems which pass more than 30% of all homes nationwide.
Attributable interests for these purposes include voting interests of 5% or
more, unless there is another single holder of more than 50% of the voting
stock, officerships, directorships and general partnership interests. The FCC
has recently initiated a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking reviewing these cable
attribution rules, including whether various corporate, financial, partnership
or business relationships that confer influence or control over an entity
engaged in provision of cable services should be subject to regulation. The FCC
has stayed the effectiveness of its existing horizontal ownership rules pending
the outcome of the appeal from the U.S. District Court decision holding the
multiple ownership limit provision of the 1992 Cable Act unconstitutional. The
FCC has also recently issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking seeking comment on
possible further revisions to the horizontal ownership rules.


     The FCC has also adopted rules which limit the number of channels on a
cable television system which can be occupied by national video programming
services in which the entity which owns the cable television system has an
attributable interest. The limit is 40% of the first 75 activated channels.


     The 1996 Telecom Act provides that registered utility holding companies and
subsidiaries may provide telecommunications services, including cable
television, notwithstanding the Public Utilities Holding Company Act of 1935, as
amended. Electric utilities must establish separate subsidiaries known as
"exempt telecommunications companies" and must apply to the FCC for operating
authority. Due to their resources, electric utilities could be formidable
competitors to traditional cable television systems.


  Access to Programming

     The 1992 Cable Act imposed restrictions on the dealings between cable
operators and cable programmers. Of special significance from a competitive
business posture, the 1992 Cable Act precludes video programmers affiliated with
cable companies from favoring their affiliated cable operators over competitors
and requires such programmers to sell their programming to other multichannel
video distributors. This provision limits the ability of vertically integrated
cable programmers to offer exclusive programming arrangements to cable
companies.

  Privacy

     The 1984 Cable Act imposes a number of restrictions on the manner in which
cable television operators can collect and disclose data about individual system
customers. The statute also requires that the system operator periodically
provide all customers with written information about its policies regarding the
collection and handling of data about customers, their privacy rights under
federal law and their enforcement rights. In the event that a cable television
operator was found to have violated the customer privacy provisions of the 1984
Cable Act, it could be required to pay damages, attorneys' fees and other costs.
Under the 1992 Cable Act, the privacy requirements were strengthened to require
that cable television operators take such actions as are necessary to prevent
unauthorized access to personally identifiable information.

  Franchise Transfers

     The 1992 Cable Act requires franchising authorities to act on any franchise
transfer request submitted after December 4, 1992 within 120 days after receipt
of all information required by FCC regulations and by the franchising authority.
Approval is deemed to be granted if the franchising authority fails to act
within such period.

                                       72

  Technical Requirements


     The FCC has imposed technical standards applicable to all classes of
channels which carry downstream National Television System Committee video
programming. The FCC also has adopted additional standards applicable to cable
television systems using frequencies in the 108 to 137 MHz and 225 to 400 MHz
bands in order to prevent harmful interference with aeronautical navigation and
safety radio services and has also established limits on cable television system
signal leakage. Periodic testing by cable television operators for compliance
with the technical standards and signal leakage limits is required and an annual
filing of the results of these measurements is required. The 1992 Cable Act
requires the FCC to periodically update its technical standards to take into
account changes in technology. Under the 1996 Telecom Act, local franchising
authorities may not prohibit, condition or restrict a cable television system's
use of any type of customer equipment or transmission technology.



     The FCC has adopted regulations to implement the requirements of the 1992
Cable Act designed to improve the compatibility of cable television systems and
consumer electronics equipment. These regulations, among other things, generally
prohibit cable television operators from scrambling their basic service tier.
The 1996 Telecom Act directs the FCC to set only minimal standards to assure
compatibility between television sets, VCRs and cable television systems, and to
rely on the marketplace. Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has adopted
rules to assure the competitive availability to consumers of customer premises
equipment, such as converters, used to access the services offered by cable
television systems and other multichannel video programming distributors.
Pursuant to those rules, consumers are given the right to attach compatible
equipment to the facilities of their multichannel video programming distributors
so long as the equipment does not harm the network, does not interfere with the
services purchased by other customers and is not used to receive unauthorized
services. As of July 1, 2000, multichannel video programming distributors, other
than operators of direct broadcast satellite television systems, are required to
separate security from non-security functions in the customer premises equipment
which they sell or lease to their customers and offer their customers the option
of using component security modules obtained from the multichannel video
programming distributors with set-top units purchased or leased from retail
outlets. As of January 1, 2005, multichannel video programming distributors will
be prohibited from distributing new set-top equipment integrating both security
and non-security functions to their customers.



     Pursuant to the 1992 Cable Act, the FCC has adopted rules implementing an
emergency alert system. The rules require all cable television systems to
provide an audio and video emergency alert system message on at least one
programmed channel and a video interruption and an audio alert message on all
programmed channels. The audio alert message is required to state which channel
is carrying the full audio and video emergency alert system message. The FCC
rules permit cable television systems either to provide a separate means of
alerting persons with hearing disabilities of emergency alert system messages,
such as a terminal that displays emergency alert system messages and activates
other alerting mechanisms or lights, or to provide audio and video emergency
alert system messages on all channels. Cable television systems with 10,000 or
more basic customers per headend were required to install EAS equipment capable
of providing audio and video emergency alert system messages on all programmed
channels by December 31, 1998. Cable television systems with 5,000 or more but
fewer than 10,000 basic customers per headend will have until October 1, 2002 to
comply with that requirement. Cable television systems with fewer than 5,000
basic customers per headend will have a choice of providing either a national
level emergency alert system message on all programmed channels or installing
emergency alert system equipment capable of providing audio alert messages on
all programmed channels, a video interrupt on all channels, and an audio and
video emergency alert system message on one programmed channel. This must be
accomplished by October 1, 2002.


  Inside Wiring; Customer Access


     In a 1997 order, the FCC established rules that require an incumbent cable
operator upon expiration of a multiple dwelling unit service contract to sell,
abandon, or remove "home run" wiring that was installed by the cable operator in
a multiple dwelling unit building. These inside wiring rules are expected to
assist building owners in their attempts to replace existing cable operators
with new programming providers who are willing to pay the building owner a
higher fee, where such a fee is permissible. Additionally, the FCC


                                       73


has proposed to restrict exclusive contracts between building owners and cable
operators or other multichannel video programming distributors. The FCC has also
recently issued an order preempting state, local and private restrictions on
over-the-air reception antennas placed on rental properties in areas where a
tenant has exclusive use of the property, such as balconies or patios. However,
tenants may not install such antennas on the common areas of multiple dwelling
units, such as on roofs. This new order may limit the extent to which multiple
dwelling unit owners and Insight may enforce certain aspects of multiple
dwelling unit agreements which otherwise would prohibit, for example, placement
of direct broadcast satellite television systems television receiving antennae
in multiple dwelling unit areas, such as apartment balconies or patios, under
the exclusive occupancy of a renter.


  Pole Attachments

     The FCC currently regulates the rates and conditions imposed by certain
public utilities for use of their poles unless state public service commissions
are able to demonstrate that they adequately regulate the rates, terms and
conditions of cable television pole attachments. A number of states and the
District of Columbia have certified to the FCC that they adequately regulate the
rates, terms and conditions for pole attachments. Illinois, Kentucky and Ohio,
states in which Insight operates, have made such a certification. In the absence
of state regulation, the FCC administers such pole attachment and conduit use
rates through use of a formula which it has devised. Pursuant to the 1996
Telecom Act, the FCC has adopted a new rate formula for any attaching party,
including cable television systems, which offers telecommunications services.
This new formula will result in higher attachment rates than at present, but
they will apply only to cable television systems which elect to offer
telecommunications services. Any increases pursuant to this new formula will not
begin until 2001, and will be phased in by equal increments over the five
ensuing years. The FCC recently ruled that the provision of Internet services
will not, in and of itself, trigger use of the new formula. The FCC has also
initiated a proceeding to determine whether it should adjust certain elements of
the current rate formula. If adopted, these adjustments could increase rates for
pole attachments and conduit space.

  Other FCC Matters

     FCC regulation pursuant to the Communications Act also includes matters
regarding a cable television system's carriage of local sports programming;
restrictions on origination and cablecasting by cable television operators;
rules governing political broadcasts; equal employment opportunity; deletion of
syndicated programming; registration procedure and reporting requirements;
customer service; closed captioning; obscenity and indecency; program access and
exclusivity arrangements; and limitations on advertising contained in
nonbroadcast children's programming.

  Copyright

     Cable television systems are subject to federal copyright licensing
covering carriage of broadcast signals. In exchange for making semi-annual
payments to a federal copyright royalty pool and meeting certain other
obligations, cable television operators obtain a statutory license to retransmit
broadcast signals. The amount of this royalty payment varies, depending on the
amount of system revenues from certain sources, the number of distant signals
carried, and the location of the cable television system with respect to
over-the-air television stations. Any future adjustment to the copyright royalty
rates will be done through an arbitration process to be supervised by the U.S.
Copyright Office. Cable television operators are liable for interest on
underpaid and unpaid royalty fees, but are not entitled to collect interest on
refunds received for overpayment of copyright fees.

     Various bills have been introduced into Congress over the past several
years that would eliminate or modify the cable television compulsory license.
Without the compulsory license, cable television operators would have to
negotiate rights from the copyright owners for all of the programming on the
broadcast stations carried by cable television systems. Such negotiated
agreements would likely increase the cost to cable television operators of
carrying broadcast signals. The 1992 Cable Act's retransmission consent
provisions expressly provide that retransmission consent agreements between
television broadcast stations and cable television operators do not obviate the
need for cable operators to obtain a copyright license for the programming
carried on each broadcaster's signal.

                                       74


     Copyrighted music performed in programming supplied to cable television
systems by pay cable networks, such as HBO, and basic cable networks, such as
USA Network, is licensed by the networks through private agreements with the
American Society of Composers and Publishers, generally known as ASCAP, and BMI,
Inc., the two major performing rights organizations in the United States. Both
the American Society of Composers and Publishers and BMI offer "through to the
viewer" licenses to the cable networks which cover the retransmission of the
cable networks' programming by cable television systems to their customers.



     Licenses to perform copyrighted music by cable television systems
themselves, including on local origination channels, in advertisements inserted
locally on cable television networks, and in cross-promotional announcements,
must be obtained by the cable television operator. Cable television industry
negotiations with the American Society of Composers and Publishers, BMI and
SESAC, Inc., which is a smaller performing rights organization, are in progress.


STATE AND LOCAL REGULATION

     Cable television systems generally are operated pursuant to nonexclusive
franchises, permits or licenses granted by a municipality or other state or
local government entity. The terms and conditions of franchises vary materially
from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and even from city to city within the same
state, historically ranging from reasonable to highly restrictive or burdensome.
Franchises generally contain provisions governing fees to be paid to the
franchising authority, length of the franchise term, renewal, sale or transfer
of the franchise, territory of the franchise, design and technical performance
of the system, use and occupancy of public streets and number and types of cable
television services provided. The terms and conditions of each franchise and the
laws and regulations under which it was granted directly affect the
profitability of the cable television system. The 1984 Cable Act places certain
limitations on a franchising authority's ability to control the operation of a
cable television system. The 1992 Cable Act prohibits exclusive franchises, and
allows franchising authorities to exercise greater control over the operation of
franchised cable television systems, especially in the area of customer service
and rate regulation. The 1992 Cable Act also allows franchising authorities to
operate their own multichannel video distribution system without having to
obtain a franchise and permits states or local franchising authorities to adopt
certain restrictions on the ownership of cable television systems. Moreover,
franchising authorities are immunized from monetary damage awards arising from
regulation of cable television systems or decisions made on franchise grants,
renewals, transfers and amendments. The 1996 Telecom Act prohibits a franchising
authority from either requiring or limiting a cable television operator's
provision of telecommunications services.

     Various proposals have been introduced at the state and local levels with
regard to the regulation of cable television systems, and a number of states
have adopted legislation subjecting cable television systems to the jurisdiction
of centralized state governmental agencies, some of which impose regulation of a
character similar to that of a public utility. To date, none of the states in
which Insight currently operates has enacted state level regulation.


     The foregoing describes all material present and proposed federal, state
and local regulations and legislation relating to the cable television industry.
Other existing federal regulations, copyright licensing and, in many
jurisdictions, state and local franchise requirements, currently are the subject
of a variety of judicial proceedings, legislative hearings and administrative
and legislative proposals which could change, in varying degrees, the manner in
which cable television systems operate. Neither the outcome of these proceedings
nor their impact upon the cable television industry or Insight can be predicted
at this time.


INTERNET ACCESS SERVICE


     We offer a service which enables consumers to access the Internet at high
speeds via high capacity broadband transmission facilities and cable modems. We
compete with many other providers of Internet access services which are known as
Internet service providers. Internet service providers include such companies as
America Online and Mindspring Enterprises as well as major telecommunications
providers, including AT&T and local exchange telephone companies. Recently,
several Internet service providers asked the FCC as well as local authorities to
require cable companies offering Internet access services over their


                                       75


broadband facilities to allow access to those facilities on an unbundled basis
to other Internet service providers. In a recent report on the deployment of
advanced telecommunications capability under Section 706 of the 1996 Telecom
Act, the FCC declined to convene a proceeding to consider whether to impose such
an access requirement on cable companies. However, the FCC indicated that it
would continue to monitor the issue of broadband deployment. Also, the FCC
denied requests by certain Internet service providers that it condition its
approval of the merger of AT&T and TCI, now known as AT&T Broadband & Internet
Services, on a requirement that those companies allow access by Internet service
providers to their broadband facilities. Several local jurisdictions also are
reviewing this issue. Recently, a U.S. District Court in Oregon upheld a
requirement, imposed by a local franchising authority in the context of a
franchise transfer, that the cable operator, if it chooses to provide Internet
service, must provide open access to its system for other Internet service
providers. That decision has been appealed. In the wake of this opinion, several
other communities have begun to consider whether to impose a similar
requirement.


     There are currently few laws or regulations which specifically regulate
communications or commerce over the Internet. Section 230 of the Communications
Act, added to that act by the 1996 Telecom Act, declares it to be the policy of
the United States to promote the continued development of the Internet and other
interactive computer services and interactive media, and to preserve the vibrant
and competitive free market that presently exists for the Internet and other
interactive computer services, unfettered by federal or state regulation. One
area in which Congress did attempt to regulate content over the Internet
involved the dissemination of obscene or indecent materials. The provisions of
the 1996 Telecom Act, generally referred to as the Communications Decency Act,
were found to be unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court in 1997.

LOCAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS SERVICES

     The 1996 Telecom Act provides that no state or local laws or regulations
may prohibit or have the effect of prohibiting any entity from providing any
interstate or intrastate telecommunications service. States are authorized,
however, to impose "competitively neutral" requirements regarding universal
service, public service, public safety and welfare, service quality and consumer
protection. State and local governments also retain their authority to manage
the public rights-of-way and may require reasonable, competitively neutral
compensation for management of the public rights-of-way when cable operators
provide telecommunications service.


     We may in the future allow our cable infrastructure to be used for the
provision of local telecommunications services to residential and business
consumers. Local telecommunications service is subject to regulation by state
utility commissions. Use of local telecommunications facilities to originate and
terminate long distance services, a service commonly referred to as "exchange
access," is subject to regulation both by the FCC and by state utility
commissions. As a provider of local exchange service, we would be subject to the
requirements imposed upon local exchange carriers by the 1996 Telecom Act. These
include requirements governing resale, telephone number portability, dialing
parity, access to rights-of-way and reciprocal compensation. Our ability to
successfully offer local telecommunications service will be dependent, in part,
on the opening of local telephone networks by incumbent local telephone
companies as required of them by the 1996 Telecom Act. In January 1999, the
United States Supreme Court reversed and vacated in part an earlier decision of
a federal court of appeals striking down portions of the FCC's 1996 rules
governing local telecommunications competition. The Supreme Court held that the
FCC has authority under the Communications Act to establish rules to govern the
pricing of facilities and services provided by incumbent local exchange carriers
to open their local networks to competition. Also, as a result of that Supreme
Court decision, the FCC must determine what network elements of incumbent local
exchange carriers must be made available to other providers and under what
circumstances those elements must be made available. How the FCC resolves those
questions will impact our ability to provide local telecommunications service in
competition with incumbent local exchange telephone companies.

COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

functions are to




          o recommend the appointment of independent accountants;

            accountants;



          o review the independence of the independent accountants;



          o consider the adequacy of the system of internal accounting controls
            and review any proposed corrective actions;



          o review and monitor our policies regarding business ethics and
            conflicts of interest;



          o discuss with management and the independent accountants our draft
            annual financial statements and key accounting and reporting
            matters; and



          o review the activities and recommendations of our accounting
            department.

stock option plan and determines, among other things, the time or times at which
options will be granted, the recipients of grants, whether a grant will consist
of incentive stock options, nonqualified stock options or stock appreciation
rights (in tandem with an option or free-standing) or a combination thereof, the
option periods, whether an option is exercisable for Class A common stock or
Class B common stock, the limitations on option exercise and the number of
shares to be subject to such options, taking into account the nature and value
of services rendered and contributions made to our success. The stock option
committee also has authority to interpret the plan and, subject to certain
limitations, to amend provisions of the plan as it deems advisable.


COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

     Those directors who are not also our employees will receive an annual
retainer as fixed by the board, which may be in the form of cash or stock
options, or a combination of both. Non-employee directors will also receive
reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses incurred for each Board or committee
meeting attended.

1999 STOCK OPTION PLAN


     The Board of Directors adopted our plan as of June 24, 1999. We have
reserved 5,000,000 shares of common stock with respect to which options and
stock appreciation rights ("SARs") may be granted under the plan. The purpose of
the plan is to promote the interests of Insight and its stockholders by
strengthening our ability to attract and retain competent employees, to make
service on our Board of Directors more attractive to present and prospective
non-employee directors and to provide a means to encourage stock ownership and
proprietary interest in Insight by officers, non-employee directors and valued
employees and other individuals upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts the
financial growth of Insight largely depends.



     The plan may be administered by either the entire Board of Directors or a
committee consisting of two or more members of the Board of Directors, each of
whom is a "non-employee director." The plan will be administered by a stock
option committee of the Board of Directors consisting of two non-employee
directors.



     Incentive stock options ("ISOs") may be granted only to officers and key
employees of Insight and its subsidiaries. Nonqualified stock options and SARs
may be granted to our officers, employees, directors, agents and consultants. In
determining the eligibility of an individual for grants under the plan, as well
as in determining the number of shares to be optioned to any individual, the
stock option committee takes into account the recommendations of our President,
Michael S. Willner, the position and responsibilities of the individual being
considered, the nature and value to Insight or its subsidiaries of his or her
service or accomplishments, his or her present or potential contribution to the
success of Insight or its subsidiaries, the number and terms of options and SARs
already held by an individual and such other factors as the stock option
committee may deem relevant. In making recommendations to the stock option
committee, Mr. Willner focuses upon individuals who would be motivated by a
direct economic stake in the equity of Insight. Options may provide for their
exercise into shares of any class of our common stock, Class A or Class B. Under
our agreement with Vestar, we have agreed not to grant options for Class B
common stock representing in excess of 6% of the fully-diluted shares.



     The plan provides for the granting of ISOs to purchase our common stock at
not less than the fair market value on the date of the option grant and the
granting of nonqualified options and SARs with any exercise price. SARs granted
in tandem with an option have the same exercise price as the related option.
Upon completion of this offering, options for an aggregate of 3,000,000 shares
will have been granted to various individuals, including options for 562,500
shares to Sidney Knafel, options for 843,750 shares to Michael Willner and
options for 843,750 shares to Kim Kelly. The plan contains limitations
applicable only to ISOs granted thereunder. To the extent that the aggregate
fair market value, as of the date of grant, of the shares to which ISOs become
exercisable for the first time by an optionee during the calendar year exceeds
$100,000, the option will be treated as a nonqualified option. In addition, if
an optionee owns more than 10% of the total voting power of all classes of
Insight's capital stock at the time the individual is granted an ISO, the option
price per share cannot be less than 110% of the fair market value per share and
the term of the


                                       81


ISO cannot exceed five years. No option or SAR may be granted under the plan
after June 25, 2009, and no option or SAR may be outstanding for more than ten
years after its grant.


     Upon the exercise of an option, the holder must make payment of the full
exercise price. Such payment may be made in cash, check or, under certain
circumstances, in shares of any class of Insight's common stock, or any
combination thereof. SARs, which give the holder the privilege of surrendering
such rights for the appreciation in the common stock between the time of the
grant and the surrender, may be settled, in the discretion of the Board or
committee, as the case may be, in cash, common stock, or in any combination
thereof. The exercise of an SAR granted in tandem with an option cancels the
option to which it relates with respect to the same number of shares as to which
the SAR was exercised. The exercise of an option cancels any related SAR with
respect to the same number of shares as to which the option was exercised.
Generally, options and SARs may be exercised while the recipient is performing
services for Insight and within three months after termination of such services.


     The plan may be terminated at any time by the Board of Directors, which may
also amend the plan, except that without stockholder approval, it may not
increase the number of shares subject to the plan or change the class of persons
eligible to receive options under the plan.


                              CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS


     On July 29, 1998, we entered into a letter of intent with Interactive
Channel, Inc., a subsidiary of Source Media, Inc., for the distribution and
marketing of Interactive Channel's interactive programming services of
LocalSource to customers of our systems. Michael S. Willner, the President,
Chief Executive Officer and a director of Insight, is a director of Source
Media. Pursuant to the letter of intent, we would pay Interactive Channel a
monthly license fee for the right to distribute LocalSource in an amount that is
based on the number of digital customers as adjusted for penetration. We would
share 50% of all revenues, other than advertising revenues, generated by
LocalSource. There can be no assurance that a definitive agreement will be
successfully negotiated with Interactive Channel, or, if negotiated, that such
agreement will be on the terms described in this prospectus. See
"Business--Products and Services--New and Enhanced Products and
Services--Interactive Digital Video."


                                       82


                             PRINCIPAL STOCKHOLDERS

     The following table sets forth information with respect to the beneficial
ownership of our common stock upon completion of the exchange of partnership
interests for common stock by each of the following:

     o each person who is known by us to beneficially own more than 5% of our
       common stock;


     o each of our directors and nominees; and





     o all directors and executive officers as a group.


     Unless otherwise indicated, the address of each person named in the table
below is Insight Communications Company, Inc., 126 East 56th Street, New York,
New York 10022. The amounts and percentage of common stock beneficially owned
are reported on the basis of regulations of the SEC governing the determination
of beneficial ownership of securities. Under the rules of the SEC, a person is
deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares
"voting power," which includes the power to vote or to direct the voting of such
security, or "investment power," which includes the power to dispose of or to
direct the disposition of such security. A person is also deemed to be a
beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire
beneficial ownership within 60 days. Under these rules, more than one person may
be deemed a beneficial owner of the same securities and a person may be deemed

                       DESCRIPTION OF RECENT TRANSACTIONS

THE TRANSACTIONS TO ACQUIRE THE COLUMBUS SYSTEM

  GENERAL


     Insight Ohio, which owns the Columbus system, was formed as a Delaware
limited liability company. On August 21, 1998, a series of transactions were
completed to facilitate, among other things, the acquisition by Insight Ohio of
the Columbus system. Pursuant to these transactions:



     o Coaxial Communications contributed to Insight Ohio substantially all of
       the assets comprising the Columbus system for which Coaxial
       Communications received a 25% non-voting common membership interest in
       Insight Ohio as well as voting series A preferred interests and voting
       series B preferred interests;



     o Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC, our wholly-owned subsidiary, contributed
       $10.0 million in cash to Insight Ohio for which it received a 75%
       non-voting common membership interest in Insight Ohio;



     o Coaxial Communications and Phoenix, an affiliate of Coaxial
       Communications, effected a private offering of the senior notes;



     o Coaxial LLC, which is a 67.5% shareholder of Coaxial Communications, and
       Coaxial Financing Corp. effected a private offering of the senior
       discount notes; and



     o Insight Holdings became the manager of Insight Ohio, Coaxial LLC and the
       two other shareholders of Coaxial Communications, which are Coaxial DJM
       LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC and Insight Holdings thereby has effective
       control of the management and affairs of Insight Ohio, Coaxial
       Communications, Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC.



     As a result of these transactions, we indirectly own 75% of the non-voting
common membership interest in Insight Ohio and Coaxial Communications owns the
remaining 25% non-voting common membership interest and the voting preferred
interests in Insight Ohio. Since Coaxial Communications is owned by Coaxial LLC,
Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC, which are entities in which we have no
ownership or economic interest, we have not consolidated the financial
statements of Insight Ohio with our financial statements.


  DISTRIBUTIONS


     Distributions to Coaxial Communications on the preferred interests will be
in such amounts as to allow for the payment of interest on the notes, with the
series A preferred interests to receive payments in priority to the series B
preferred interests. Insight Ohio will then make distributions to Insight
Holdings and Coaxial Communications in an amount equal to an estimate of their
respective tax liabilities. Insight Ohio will then distribute to Insight
Holdings a management fee equal to 3% of gross revenues. Thereafter,
distributions to Insight Holdings and Coaxial Communications are made only upon
approval of the management committee of Insight Ohio. Distributions in respect
of the membership interests of Insight Ohio and the management fee are
restricted under each of the indentures governing the notes and the Insight Ohio
credit facility.


  REDEMPTION OF THE PREFERRED INTERESTS


     The series A preferred interests have a liquidation preference of $140
million. Subject to Insight Holdings' agreement to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain a refinancing proposal, Insight Ohio will be
required to redeem the series A preferred interests in full upon acceleration or
maturity of the senior notes, commencement of the enforcement of remedies under
the pledge agreement in respect of the collateral securing the senior notes, the
passage of ten days and upon request for redemption by the holders of the senior
notes. Insight Ohio may not otherwise redeem the series A preferred interests,
in whole or in part, without the consent of Barry Silverstein, Dennis J.
McGillicuddy and D. Stevens McVoy, who are the sole members of Coaxial LLC,
Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC, respectively.


                                       85


     The series B preferred interests have an initial liquidation preference of
$30 million. Subject to Insight Holdings' agreement to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain a refinancing proposal, Insight Ohio will be
required to redeem the series B preferred interests in full upon acceleration or
maturity of the senior discount notes, commencement of the enforcement of
remedies under the senior discount notes pledge agreement in respect of the
collateral securing the senior discount notes, the passage of ten days and upon
request for redemption by the holders of the senior discount notes. Insight Ohio
may not otherwise redeem the series B preferred interests, in whole or in part,
without the consent of the sole members of each of Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC
and Coaxial DSM LLC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Insight Ohio will not redeem
the series B preferred interests if it is also required to redeem the series A
preferred interests and it has not yet done so.



     The series A preferred interests have priority over the series B preferred
interests with respect to redemption, if both preferred interests are required
to be redeemed.


  MANAGEMENT OF INSIGHT OHIO


     Pursuant to the terms of the operating agreement of Insight Ohio, the
management of Insight Ohio is delegated to Insight Holdings. Insight Holdings
may not resign as the manager without the consent of Coaxial Communications and
the consent of the sole members of each of Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and
Coaxial DSM LLC except in the case of a permitted transfer of all of Insight
Holdings' membership interest to a successor, who will then become the manager.
If Coaxial Communications and the sole members of each of Coaxial LLC, Coaxial
DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC consent to Insight Holdings' resignation as manager,
Insight Ohio will dissolve unless the members of Insight Ohio and the sole
members of each of Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC elect to
continue the business of Insight Ohio and agree to a successor manager.



     Insight Holdings is entitled to reimbursement from Insight Ohio for
expenses incurred that directly relate to its management of the business and
operations of Insight Ohio, including any such expenses incurred in connection
with the management of Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC.
However, Insight Holdings is not entitled to reimbursement from Insight Ohio for
corporate overhead.


  TRANSFER OF INTERESTS


     Insight Holdings and Coaxial Communications may not sell, pledge or
otherwise transfer any part of their respective membership interests in Insight
Ohio, unless approved by the other member and the sole members of each of
Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC, subject to a number of
significant exceptions, including transfers to related parties, redemption of
the preferred interests and pledges of the membership interests. In addition,
Insight Holdings may elect at any time, by delivering written notice of its
election to Coaxial Communications and the sole members of each of Coaxial LLC,
Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC, to require that a person designated by such
members purchase all of Insight Holdings' membership interest, for a nominal
purchase price. Insight Holdings would cease to manage Insight Ohio, Coaxial
LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC upon completion of the sale.





MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS WITH COAXIAL LLC, COAXIAL DJM LLC AND COAXIAL DSM LLC



     All of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Coaxial Communications
is held by Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC. Coaxial LLC,
Coaxial DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC have each entered into a management
agreement with Insight Holdings. Except for certain events, Coaxial LLC, Coaxial
DJM LLC and Coaxial DSM LLC have each delegated to Insight Holdings all rights
and powers of the member of such limited liability company with respect to the
management and conduct of the limited liability company's activities and
operation insofar as they relate to the ownership of shares of Coaxial
Communications and any senior discount notes. Insight Holdings is not entitled
to any compensation from Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC or Coaxial DSM LLC under
any of the respective management agreements and is not deemed a partner,
co-venturer or other participant in the business or operations of Coaxial LLC,
Coaxial DJM LLC or Coaxial DSM LLC. Insight Holdings is not deemed a member of
Coaxial LLC, Coaxial DJM LLC or Coaxial DSM LLC.


                                       86

THE TRANSACTIONS TO ACQUIRE THE INDIANA SYSTEMS

  GENERAL


     Insight Indiana, which owns the Indiana systems, was formed as a Delaware
limited liability company. On October 31, 1998, a series of transactions were
completed to facilitate, among other things, the capitalization of Insight
Indiana. Pursuant to these transactions:



     o We exchanged our Utah systems for systems owned by related parties of
       AT&T Broadband & Internet Services in Evansville and Jasper, Indiana;



     o We contributed to Insight Indiana the Evansville and Jasper systems
       exchanged for our Utah systems together with other systems that we owned
       and operated in Indiana and Kentucky, subject to debt, for which we
       received a 50% membership interest in Insight Indiana;



     o Several related parties of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services, including
       TCI of Indiana Holdings, LLC, collectively contributed to Insight Indiana
       systems that they owned and operated in Indiana, subject to debt, for
       which TCI of Indiana Holdings, LLC received a 50% membership interest in
       Insight Indiana;



     o Insight Indiana entered into the $550 million Insight Indiana credit
       facility;



     o The Insight debt and the TCI debt was repaid from funds drawn down from
       the Insight Indiana credit facility; and


     o Insight became the manager of Insight Indiana.

  DISTRIBUTIONS


     Insight Indiana is required to make distributions to us in an amount equal
to an estimate of our tax liabilities and then make a pro rata distribution to
TCI Holdings. Insight Indiana may make additional distributions only upon
approval by us and TCI Holdings. Distributions in respect of the membership
interests of Insight Indiana are restricted under the Insight Indiana credit
facility. We are entitled to receive a management fee from Insight Indiana equal
to 3% of the total gross operating revenues of Insight Indiana.


  MANAGEMENT OF INSIGHT INDIANA


     Under the terms of the operating agreement of Insight Indiana, the
management of Insight Indiana is delegated to us. We may not resign as manager
without the consent of TCI Holdings. If TCI Holdings consents to our resignation
as manager, Insight Indiana will dissolve unless the members elect to continue
the business of Insight Indiana and either TCI Holdings elects to become the new
manager or, if TCI Holdings does not so elect, Insight and TCI Holdings agree to
a successor manager. The operating agreement prohibits Insight Indiana from
taking certain actions, including most significant dispositions of assets,
without the consent of TCI Holdings and Insight, unless we reimburse TCI
Holdings for any adverse tax consequences.


  TRANSFERS OF INTERESTS


     Neither we nor TCI Holdings may sell, pledge or otherwise transfer our
respective membership interests in Insight Indiana unless such transfer is
approved by the other member or such transfer is to a related party. Commencing
on October 30, 2003, we and AT&T Broadband & Internet Services each have the
right to commence a process in which we or AT&T Broadband & Internet Services
would each have the right to redeem the other's 50% interest in Insight Indiana.


THE TRANSACTIONS TO ACQUIRE THE KENTUCKY SYSTEMS



       In April 1999, we entered into an agreement with Blackstone Capital,
InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC and a subsidiary (TCI ICM VI, Inc.) and
related party (Leo J. Hindery, Jr.) of AT&T Broadband & Internet Services to
purchase a combined 50% interest in InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. for
$335.0 million, including expenses, which was calculated based upon InterMedia's
total outstanding debt



                                       87


plus accrued interest, which was $738.9 million as of March 31, 1999. The
purchase price is subject to adjustment for certain events including an increase
in the purchase price by 50% of certain capital expenditures incurred by
InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. between April 13, 1999 and completion of
the Kentucky acquisition, which capital expenditures relate to rebuilds of the
Kentucky systems' network capacity and the purchase of digital converters and
related inventory. TCI Holdings will own the other 50% interest in the Kentucky
systems. Pending completion of the Kentucky acquisition, InterMedia Capital
Management VI, LLC will continue to manage InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P.
The completion of the Kentucky acquisition is subject to several conditions
including





     o receipt or waiver of all necessary material consents from third parties;



     o absence of any material adverse changes in the conditions, properties or
       business of the Kentucky systems; and



     o notification, approval and compliance with the requirements of
       appropriate governmental agencies, including, without limitation,
       approval of cable television franchise authorities. We anticipate that
       the acquisition will be completed during the second half of 1999.



There can be no assurance that the Kentucky acquisition will be completed on the
terms described in this prospectus, or at all. This offering is not contingent
or in any way dependent on the Kentucky acquisition.



     In April 1999, we also entered into an agreement with TCI Holdings to form
a new limited partnership which will serve as a holding company for both Insight
Indiana and the Kentucky systems. Insight and TCI Holdings would each have a 50%
interest in this new entity. This reorganization is subject to the completion of
the Kentucky acquisition and several other conditions set forth in the
agreement, including the successful negotiation of a management agreement. We
expect that the terms of the management agreement will be similar to the terms
of our management agreement concerning the Indiana systems.


THE TRANSACTION WITH AT&T


     In December 1998, we entered into a letter of intent with AT&T to form a
joint venture which would provide local or any-distance communication services,
other than mobile wireless services, video entertainment services and high-speed
Internet access services, to residential consumers and small business customers
under the "AT&T" brand name over our cable network. The joint venture would have
the exclusive right to use our cable network for such services and would have
access to wholesale bulk long distance services and other network services from
AT&T. AT&T would have majority representation on the Board of Directors of the
joint venture, appoint all officers of the joint venture and manage the
day-to-day operations of the joint venture. The joint venture would have a
15-year term with one five-year extension at AT&T's sole election.


     The following points summarize the material terms under the letter of
intent:




     o we are required to invest between 35% and 49% in the joint venture;





     o we will receive payments based on number of homes passed upon receipt of
       certification;





     o we will be responsible to upgrade our plant to meet telephone
       certification requirements;



     o the joint venture will be responsible for all capital associated with
       customer premise equipment and operating expenses; and





     o we will receive a monthly operating payment for the license of our plant
       to the joint venture.



     Formation of the joint venture is subject to certain conditions precedent,
including the successful negotiation of definitive agreements. We cannot predict
if or when such conditions would be met or that the terms of the definitive
agreements will be on the same terms described in this prospectus.


                                       88


                      DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN INDEBTEDNESS

CREDIT FACILITIES

     Financings of Insight, Insight Indiana and Insight Ohio are currently
effected through three stand-alone credit facilities, each having a separate
lending group. The credit facilities of Insight Indiana and Insight Ohio are
non-recourse to us, and none of the three credit facilities has any
cross-default provisions relating directly to each other. Each credit facility
has different revolving credit and term periods and contains separately
negotiated, specifically tailored covenants.

  INSIGHT CREDIT FACILITY


     On December 21, 1998, we entered into a restatement of the Insight credit
facility with a group of banks and other financial institutions led by The Bank
of New York. The Insight credit facility provides for revolving credit loans of
up to $140 million, including a letter of credit subfacility of up to
$5 million. Loans under the Insight credit facility may be used for working
capital, capital expenditures and other general purposes, including
acquisitions. The Insight credit facility matures in December 2005, with
quarterly reductions in the amount of outstanding loans and commitments
commencing in March 2000. Obligations under the Insight credit facility are
secured by substantially all of our assets and our interests in our
subsidiaries. Loans under the Insight credit facility bear interest, at our
option, at an alternate base or Eurodollar rate, plus an additional margin tied
to our ratio of total debt to adjusted annualized operating cash flow, in the
case of alternate base rate loans ranging in increments from 1.25% when such
ratio exceeds 6.5:1.0 and zero when such ratio is less than 4.5:1.0, and, in the
case of Eurodollar loans, ranging in increments from 2.5% when such ratio
exceeds 6.5:1.0 and 1.0% when such ratio is less than 3.5:1.0.



     The Insight credit facility contains a number of covenants that, among
other things, restricts our ability to make capital expenditures, acquire or
dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, pay dividends or other
distributions, create liens on assets, make investments, and engage in
transactions with related parties. In addition, the Insight credit facility
requires compliance with certain financial ratios, requires us to enter into
interest rate protection agreements covering at least 40% of our total
indebtedness and also contains customary events of default. To date, the
proceeds of term and revolving credit borrowings under the Insight credit
facility have been used for the introduction of new and enhanced products and
services for our customers, strategic acquisitions and general corporate
activities. As of March 31, 1999, there was approximately $124.1 million
outstanding under the Insight credit facility.


  INSIGHT INDIANA CREDIT FACILITY


     On October 31, 1998, Insight Indiana entered into a senior credit facility
with a group of banks and other financial institutions led by The Bank of New
York. The Insight Indiana credit facility provides for term loans of
$300 million and for revolving credit loans of up to $250 million, including a
letter of credit subfacility of up to $25 million. Loans under the Insight
Indiana credit facility may be used to finance acquisitions, capital
expenditures and for working capital and general purposes. The Insight Indiana
credit facility matures in December 2006, with quarterly reductions in the
amount of outstanding loans and commitments commencing in March 2001.
Obligations under the Insight Indiana credit facility are secured by the
membership interests of Insight Indiana owned by us and TCI Holdings and any
amounts payable by Insight Indiana to us and TCI Holdings. Loans under the
Insight Indiana credit facility bear interest, at Insight Indiana's option, at
an alternate base or Eurodollar rate, plus an additional margin tied to Insight
Indiana's ratio of total debt to adjusted annualized operating cash flow, in the
case of alternate base loans ranging in increments from 0.75% when such ratio
equals or exceeds 6.0:1.0 and zero when such ratio is less than 5.0:1.0, and, in
the case of Eurodollar loans, ranging in increments from 2.0% when such ratio
equals or exceeds 6.0:1.0 and 0.75% when such ratio is less than 3.5:1.0.



     The Insight Indiana credit facility contains a number of covenants that,
among other things, restricts the ability of Insight Indiana to make capital
expenditures, acquire or dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends or other distributions, create liens on assets, make investments, and
engage in transactions with related parties. In addition, the Insight Indiana
credit facility requires compliance with certain financial ratios, requires
Insight Indiana to enter into interest rate protection agreements covering at
least 40% of its total indebtedness and also contains customary events of
default. To date, the proceeds of term and revolving credit borrowings under the
Insight Indiana credit facility have been used primarily to repay indebtedness
secured by or relating to the cable system assets transferred to Insight Indiana
by Insight


                                       89


and TCI and for general corporate activities. As of March 31, 1999, there was
approximately $466.0 million outstanding under the Insight Indiana credit
facility.

case of Eurodollar loans, 2.0% or, if under a 5.0:1.0 ratio, 1.5%.

This credit facility provides for a subordinated term loan of $60 million. Loans

COLUMBUS NOTES


     In connection with the contribution of the Columbus system to Insight Ohio,
Coaxial Communications and Phoenix issued $140.0 million aggregate principal
amount of their 10% senior notes due 2006, and Coaxial LLC and Coaxial Financing
Corp. issued approximately $55.9 million aggregate principal amount at maturity
of their 12 7/8% senior discount notes due 2008. Each series of notes is
conditionally guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by Insight Ohio. Such
guarantees will only become effective to the extent and at the time the holders
of the notes are unable to realize proceeds from the enforcement of the
mandatory redemption provisions of the preferred interests discussed below.



     Interest on the senior notes is payable semi-annually on each February 15
and August 15. Cash interest on the senior discount notes will not begin to
accrue until August 15, 2003, and thereafter will be payable semi-annually on
each February 15 and August 15. Insight Ohio has outstanding the series A
preferred interests and the series B preferred interests with liquidation
preferences equal in amount to the principal or accreted amounts of the notes
and providing for distributions in amounts equal to the interest payments on the
notes. The series A preferred interests relating to the senior notes have
priority over the series B preferred interests relating to the senior discount
notes with respect to both distributions and redemptions. Furthermore, the
conditional guarantee of the senior discount notes is subordinated to the prior
payment in full of all obligations with respect to the conditional guarantee of
the senior notes. The Indentures impose restrictions on the ability of the
issuers of the Notes and Insight Ohio to, among other things, make capital
expenditures, acquire or dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, pay
dividends or other distributions, create liens on assets, make investments, and
engage in transactions with related parties. The issuers of the notes are
prohibited from conducting any business activities.


                                       91

                          DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

GENERAL


     Our authorized capitalization consists of 300,000,000 shares of Class A
common stock, par value $.01 per share, 100,000,000 shares of Class B common
stock, par value $.01 per share, and 100,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par
value $.01 per share.



     Concurrently with the completion of this offering, the holders of the
general and limited partnership interests of Insight Communications Company,
L.P. will exchange all of their partnership interests for Class A and Class B
common stock in accordance with a formula based on the value ascribed to Insight
Communications Company, L.P.'s equity as a result of this offering. As a result
of the exchange, Insight Communications Company, L.P. will become a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Insight. Our assets and liabilities will remain with Insight
Communications Company, L.P. and our business operations will continue to be
conducted through Insight Communications Company, L.P.



     Upon completion of the exchange of partnership interests for common stock
and without giving effect for this offering, 23,306,236 shares of Class A common
stock will be outstanding, and 9,626,967 shares of Class B common stock will be
outstanding. No shares of preferred stock will be outstanding.


COMMON STOCK


     The rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock are
substantially identical in all respects, except for their voting rights. Only
members of our management and certain permitted transferees, as defined in our
certificate of incorporation, may hold Class B common stock. Our agreement with
Vestar further restricts eligible holders of Class B common stock. The Vestar
agreement terminates at such time as Vestar's shares constitute less than 10% of
the shares they held upon closing of this offering. Under our agreement with
Vestar, we have agreed to issue additional shares of Class B common stock only
to senior executives under an option plan, provided that the maximum number of
shares that may be issued does not exceed 3% of the fully-diluted outstanding
common stock and that the exercise price at the options are at fair market
value. There is no limitation on who may hold Class A common stock. Holders of
Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share. Holders of Class B
common stock are entitled to ten votes per share. Holders of all classes of
common stock entitled to vote will vote together as a single class on all
matters presented to the stockholders for their vote or approval, except as
otherwise required by the Delaware General Corporation Law. Under Delaware law,
the holders of each class of common stock are entitled to vote as a separate
class with respect to any amendment to our certificate of incorporation that
would increase or decrease the aggregate number of authorized shares of such
class, increase or decrease the par value of such class, or modify or change the
powers, preferences or special rights of the shares of such class so as to
affect such class adversely. Our certificate of incorporation does not provide
for cumulative voting for the election of our directors, with the result that
stockholders owning or controlling more than 50% of the total votes cast for the
election of directors can elect all of the directors. See "Risk Factors--Members
of management, as major stockholders, possess unequal voting rights resulting in
the ability to control all major corporate decisions, and other shareholders may
be unable to influence these corporate decisions."



     Subject to the dividend rights of holders of preferred stock, holders of
both classes of common stock are entitled to receive dividends when, as and if
declared by the board of directors out of funds legally available for this
purpose. In the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holders
of both classes of common stock are entitled to receive on a pro rata basis any
assets remaining available for distribution after payment of our liabilities and
after provision has been made for payment of liquidation preferences to all
holders of preferred stock. Holders of Class A and Class B common stock have no
conversion or redemption provisions or preemptive or other subscription rights,
except that in the event any shares of Class B common stock held by a member of
the management group are transferred outside the management group, such shares
will be converted automatically into shares of Class A common stock on a
one-for-one basis.





PREFERRED STOCK



     Our certificate of incorporation authorizes us to issue 100,000,000 shares
of "blank check" preferred stock having rights senior to our common stock. Our
Board of Directors is authorized, without further stockholder approval, to issue
preferred stock in one or more series and to fix the rights, preferences,
privileges and restrictions thereof, including dividend rights, conversion
rights, voting rights, redemption terms and liquidation preferences, and to fix
the number of shares constituting any series and the designations of these
series.


     The issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or
preventing a change of control of Insight. The issuance of preferred stock could
decrease the amount of earnings and assets available for distribution to the
holders of common stock or could adversely affect the voting power or other
rights of the holders of Class A and Class B common stock. We currently have no
plans to issue any shares of preferred stock.

                                       92

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY


     As permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation provides
that our directors shall not be personally liable to us or our stockholders for
monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for
liability:


     o for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to us or our
       stockholders;

     o for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional
       misconduct or a knowing violation of law;


     o under Section 174 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, relating to
       unlawful payment of dividends or unlawful stock purchases or redemption
       of stock; or


     o for any transaction from which the director derives an improper personal
       benefit.

As a result of this provision, we and our stockholders may be unable to obtain
monetary damages from a director for breach of his or her duty of care.


     Our certificate of incorporation and by-laws provide for the
indemnification of our directors and officers, and, to the extent authorized by
the Board of Directors in its sole and absolute discretion, employees and
agents, to the fullest extent authorized by, and subject to the conditions set
forth in Delaware law, except that we will indemnify a director or officer in
connection with a proceeding or part thereof, initiated by such person, only if
the proceeding or part thereof was authorized by our Board of Directors. The
indemnification provided under the certificate of incorporation and by-laws
includes the right to be paid the expenses, including attorneys's fees, in
advance of any proceeding for which indemnification may be had, provided that
the payment of these expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred by a
director, officer, employee or agent in advance of the final disposition of a
proceeding may be made only upon delivery to us of an undertaking by or on
behalf of the director, officer, employee or agent to repay all amounts so paid
in advance if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not
entitled to be indemnified.



     Under the by-laws, we have the power to purchase and maintain insurance on
behalf of any person who is or was one of our directors, officers, employees or
agents, against any liability asserted against the person or incurred by the
person in any such capacity, or arising out of the person's status as such, and
related expenses, whether or not we would have the power to indemnify the person
against such liability under the provisions of Delaware law. We currently have
no plans to purchase director and officer liability insurance on behalf of our
directors and officers.


DELAWARE ANTI-TAKEOVER LAW


     We will be subject to the provisions of Section 203 of Delaware law.
Section 203 prohibits publicly held Delaware corporations from engaging in a
"business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three
years after the date of the transaction in which the person became an interested
stockholder, unless:



     o prior to the business combination our Board of Directors approved either
       the business combination or the transaction which resulted in the
       stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;



     o upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the stockholder
       becoming an interested stockholder, such stockholder owned at least 85%
       of our outstanding voting stock at the time such transaction commenced,
       excluding for such purposes shares owned (i) by our officers and
       directors and (ii) employee stock plans in which employee participants do
       not have the right to determine confidentially whether shares held
       subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or



     o at or subsequent to such time the business combination is approved by our
       Board of Directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of our
       stockholders, and not by written consent, by the affirmative vote of at
       least 66 2/3% of our outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the
       interested stockholder.


     A "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other
transactions resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder.
Subject to certain exceptions, an "interested stockholder" is a person who,
together with affiliates and associates, owns, or within three years did own,
15% or more of the corporation's voting stock. These provisions could have the
effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change of control of Insight or
reducing the price that certain investors might be willing to pay in the future
for shares of our Class A common stock.

TRANSFER AGENT

     The transfer agent for our Class A common stock will be The Bank of New
York, a New York banking corporation.

                                       93

                        SHARES ELIGIBLE FOR FUTURE SALE

GENERAL


     Upon the completion of this offering, we will have 53,433,230 shares of
common stock issued and outstanding. All outstanding shares of common stock will
be "restricted securities" as that term is defined in Rule 144 and are also
subject to certain restrictions on disposition. Restricted securities may be
sold in the public market only if registered or if they qualify for an exemption
from registration under Rule 144 or Rule 701 under the Securities Act. Sales of
restricted securities in the public market, or the availability of such shares
for sale, could have an adverse effect on the price of the Class A common stock.
See "Dilution."


REGISTRATION RIGHTS

     We and Vestar have entered into a registration rights agreement, pursuant
to which we have granted to Vestar various demand rights to cause us to file a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering resales of all shares
of common stock held by Vestar, and to cause such registration statement to
become effective. The registration rights agreement also grants "piggyback"
registration rights permitting Vestar to include its registrable securities in a
registration of securities by us. We are obligated to pay the expenses of such
registrations.

RULE 144

     In general, under Rule 144 as currently in effect, beginning 90 days after
the date of this prospectus, a person who has beneficially owned shares of our
Class A common stock for at least one year would be entitled to sell within any
three-month period a number of shares that does not exceed the greater of either
of the following:


     o 1% of the number of shares of Class A common stock then outstanding,
       which will equal approximately 43,806,263 shares immediately after this
       offering; and


     o the average weekly trading volume of the common stock on The Nasdaq Stock
       Market during the four calendar weeks preceding the filing of a notice on
       Form 144 with respect to such sale.

     Sales under Rule 144 are also subject to certain manner of sale provisions
and notice requirements and to the availability of current public information
about Insight.

RULE 144(K)

     Under Rule 144(k), a person who is not deemed to have been one of our
"affiliates" at any time during the 90 days preceding a sale, and who has
beneficially owned the shares proposed to be sold for at least two years,
including the holding period of any prior owner other than an "affiliate," is
entitled to sell such shares without complying with the manner of sale, public
information, volume limitation or notice provisions of Rule 144. Therefore,
unless otherwise restricted, "144(k) shares" may be sold immediately upon the
completion of this offering. The sale of such shares, or the perception that
sales will be made, could adversely effect the price of our Class A common stock
after the offering because a greater supply of shares would be, or would be
perceived to be, available for sale in the public market.

FURTHER RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFER FOR CERTAIN PERSONS


     Each of us, our executive officers, our directors, our stockholders prior
to this offering and our employees who purchase in excess of 100 shares in this
offering, have agreed that, for a period of 180 days from the date of this
prospectus, they will not, without the prior written consent of Donaldson,
Lufkin & Jenrette Securities Corporation, do either of the following:


     o offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to
       purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option,
       right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of,

                                       94

       directly or indirectly, any shares of common stock or any securities
       convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for common stock; or

     o enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers all or a portion
       of the economic consequences associated with the ownership of the common
       stock.


Either of the foregoing transaction restrictions will apply regardless of
whether a covered transaction is to be settled by the delivery of common stock
or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. In addition, during such period,
we have agreed not to file any registration statement with respect to, and each
of our executive officers and directors has agreed not to make any demand for,
or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of common
stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock without
the prior written consent of Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette Securities
Corporation. See "Underwriters."

     The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the several
underwriters to purchase and accept delivery of the shares included in this
offering are subject to approval of certain legal matters by their counsel and
to certain other conditions including the effectiveness of the registration
statement, the continuing correctness of our representations, the receipt of a
"comfort letter" from our accountants, the listing of the Class A common stock
on the NMS and no occurrence of an event that would have a material adverse
effect on us. The underwriters are obligated to purchase and accept delivery of
all the shares, other than those covered by the over-allotment option described
below, if they purchase any of the shares.

     The underwriters propose initially to offer some of the shares directly to
the public at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this
prospectus and some of the shares to certain dealers at the public offering
price less a concession not in excess of $     per share. The underwriters may
allow, and such dealers may re-allow, a concession not in excess of $     per
share on sales to certain other dealers. After the initial offering of the
shares to the public, the representatives may change the public offering price
and such concessions. The underwriters do not intend to confirm sales to any
accounts over which they exercise discretionary authority.

     The following table shows the underwriting fees to be paid to the
underwriters by us in connection with this offering. The amounts are shown
assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to
purchase additional shares of Class A common stock.

     We have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from

                      INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                                 MARCH 31, 1999

A. ORGANIZATION

     Insight Communications Company, L.P., (the "Partnership"), is a Delaware
limited partnership, that owns, operates, and manages cable television systems.
Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the Partnership will terminate by
March 31, 2020 unless further extended. As of March 31, 1999, the Partnership
operates cable television systems in Illinois, California, Georgia, Indiana,
Kentucky, and Ohio.

B. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.

     For further information, refer to the Partnership's financial statements
and footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998, included elsewhere
in this registration statement.

C. GAIN ON CABLE SYSTEM EXCHANGES


     On March 22, 1999 the Partnership exchanged its Franklin, Virginia cable
system ("Franklin") servicing approximately 9,200 subscribers for Falcon Cable's
Scottsburg ("Scottsburg") Indiana system servicing approximately 4,100
subscribers. Pursuant to section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, such
transaction was treated as a Tax Free Like-Kind Exchange. In connection with the
exchange, the Partnership received $8 million in cash which was held on deposit
with a qualified intermediary (see Note D). Furthermore, on February 1, 1999,
the Partnership exchanged its Oldham Kentucky cable system ("Oldham") servicing
approximately 8,500 subscribers for Intermedia Partners of Kentucky L.P.'s
Henderson, Kentucky cable system ("Henderson") servicing approximately 10,600
subscribers. These transactions have been accounted for by the Partnership as
sales of the Franklin and Oldham systems and purchases of the Scottsburg and
Henderson systems. Accordingly, based upon the preliminary purchase price
allocation, the Scottsburg and Henderson systems have been included in the
accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets at their fair values
(approximately $31.3 million) and the Partnership recognized a gain on the sale
of the Franklin and Oldham systems of approximately $19.8 million, which amount
represents the difference between the carrying value of the Franklin and Oldham
Systems and their fair value. The Scottsburg and Henderson Systems purchase
price was allocated to the cable television assets acquired in relation to their
fair values as increases in property and equipment of $5.7 million and franchise
costs of $25.6 million. Franchise costs arising from the acquisition of the
Scottsburg and Henderson systems are being amortized on the straight-line method
over a period of 15 years.



D. PURCHASE OF CABLE SYSTEM



     On March 31, 1999 the Partnership acquired Americable International of
Florida Inc.'s Portland, Indiana and Fort Recovery, Ohio cable systems
("Portland") servicing approximately 6,100 subscribers for $10.9 million. The
preliminary purchase price was allocated to the cable television assets acquired
in relation to their fair values as increases in property and equipment of
$2.3 million and franchise costs of $8.6 million. The Partnership has accounted
for the acquisition of the Portland system as a purchase. The Partnership paid
for the acquisition with borrowings under its credit facilities and with the
$8 million of cash received in the Franklin/Scottsburg Exchange (see Note C) and
held on deposit with a qualified intermediary.

       NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

                                  (UNAUDITED)
                                 MARCH 31, 1999


E. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES


     Certain of the Partnership's individual systems have been named in
purported class actions in various jurisdictions concerning late fee charges and
practices. Certain of the Partnership's cable television systems charge late
fees to subscribers who do not pay their cable bills on time. Plaintiffs
generally allege that the late fees charged by such cable television systems are
not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable television systems as
a result of the late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable television
systems to provide compensation for alleged excessive late fee charges for past
periods. These cases are at various stages of the litigation process. Based upon
the facts available, management believes that, although no assurances can be
given as to the outcome of these actions, the ultimate disposition of these
matters should not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition
or results of operations of the Partnership.

     The Partnership is subject to other various legal proceedings that arise in
the ordinary course of business. While it is impossible to determine with
certainty the ultimate outcome of these matters, it is management's opinion that
the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse affect on the
consolidated financial condition of the Partnership.


F. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS



     The Partnership has entered into an agreement with Blackstone Capital
Partners III Merchant Fund L.P. ("Blackstone") and a subsidiary of TCI to
acquire their combined 50% interest in InterMedia Partners VI, L.P. (the "IPVI
Partnership") for approximately $335.0 million (inclusive of expenses) plus
assumed debt. The IPVI Partnership was formed in August 1996 by TCI, Blackstone
and Intermedia Partners to acquire and operate cable television systems
servicing approximately 430,000 subscribers in four major markets in Kentucky,
including Louisville, Lexington, Bowling Green and Covington.


     In a separate agreement, the Partnership will be appointed the manager of
the IPVI Partnership and will earn a management fee equivalent to 3% of the IPVI
Partnership's revenues.

                      INTERMEDIA CAPITAL PARTNERS VI, L.P.
              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

                                  (UNAUDITED)

1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. ("ICP-VI"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was formed in October 1997 for the purpose of acquiring and
operating cable television systems located in the state of Kentucky. The
Partnership commenced business on April 30, 1998 upon contribution of cable
television systems serving subscribers throughout western and central Kentucky
(the "Systems") with significant concentrations in the state's four largest
cities: Lexington, Louisville, Covington and Bowling Green. ICP-VI and its
directly and indirectly majority-owned subsidiaries, InterMedia Partners Group
VI, L.P. ("IPG-VI"), InterMedia Partners VI, L.P. ("IP-VI"), and InterMedia
Partners of Kentucky, L.P. ("IP-KY") are collectively referred to as the
"Partnership." Prior to April 30, 1998, the Partnership had no operations.

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the
information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles
for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the
accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary
for a fair presentation of the Partnership's financial position as of March 31,
1999 and its results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended
March 31, 1999. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31,
1999 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the
year ending December 31, 1999. These condensed consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the Partnership's audited consolidated
financial statements as of December 31, 1998 and for the period from April 30,
1998 (commencement of operations) through December 31, 1998.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities ("FAS 133"). FAS 133 is currently effective
for all quarters of all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 1999 (January 1,
2000 for the Partnership). On May 20, 1999, the FASB issued an exposure draft to
amend FAS 133. The amendment, if approved, will extend the effective date of FAS
133 to all fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000 (January 1, 2001 for the
Partnership). FAS 133 requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on
the balance sheet at their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives
are recorded each period in current earnings or other comprehensive income,
depending on whether a derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction
and, if it is, the type of hedge transaction. Management of the Partnership
anticipates that, due to its limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption
of FAS 133 will not have a significant effect on the Partnership's results of
operations, financial position or cash flows.

2. CONTRIBUTION OF CABLE PROPERTIES

     On April 30, 1998, the Partnership borrowed $730,000 under bank term loans
and a revolving credit facility and received equity contributions from its
partners of $202,034, consisting of $102,034 in cash and $100,000 of in-kind
contributions from affiliates of AT&T Broadband and Internet Services
("AT&TBIS"), formerly Tele-Communications, Inc., and another limited partner of
ICP-VI. ICP-VI assumed debt from AT&TBIS of $803,743 and issued a combined 49.5%
limited partner interest to AT&TBIS and another limited partner in exchange for
the contributed systems with a fair market value of $753,743 and a long-term
programming fee discount agreement valued at $150,000. The AT&TBIS debt assumed
was repaid with proceeds from the borrowings under the bank loans and the cash
contributions received from its partners.

                                                                                     $907,372
                                                                                     --------

3. EXCHANGE OF CABLE PROPERTIES

     On February 1, 1999, the Partnership exchanged with Insight Communications
of Indiana, LLC its cable television assets located in and around Henderson,
Kentucky ("Exchanged Assets") for cable television assets located in and around
Oldham County, Kentucky plus cash of $3,820. The cable system assets received
have been recorded at fair market value, subject to final valuation adjustments.
The exchange resulted in a gain of $2,312, calculated as the difference between
the fair value of the assets received and the net book value of the Exchanged
Assets, plus net proceeds received of $3,820.

4. @HOME WARRANTS

     Under a distribution agreement with At Home Corporation ("@Home"), the
Partnership provides high-speed Internet access to subscribers over the
Partnership's distribution network in certain of its cable television systems.
In January 1999 the Partnership and certain of its affiliates entered into
related agreements whereby @Home would issue to the Partnership and its
affiliates warrants to purchase shares of @Home's Series A Common Stock ("@Home
Stock") at an exercise price of ten dollars and fifty cents per share. Under the
provisions of the agreements, management estimates that the Partnership may
purchase up to 229,600 shares of @Home Stock. The warrants become vested and
exercisable, subject to certain forfeiture and other conditions, based on
obtaining specified numbers of @Home subscribers over the remaining six-year
term of the @Home distribution agreement. The Partnership has not recognized any
income related to the warrants for the three months ended March 31, 1999.

5. CHANNEL LAUNCH REVENUE

     During 1998, the Partnership received payments and recorded receivables
from certain programmers to launch and promote their new channels. During the
three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership recognized advertising
revenue of $441 for advertisements provided by the Partnership to promote the
new channels. The remaining deferred channel launch revenue is being amortized
over the respective terms of the program agreements which range between eight
and ten years. During the three months ended March 31, 1999, $542 of the
remaining deferred channel launch payments was amortized and recorded as other
service revenue.

     The Partnership's bank debt is outstanding under a revolving credit
facility and term loan agreements executed by the Partnership on April 30, 1998
(the "Bank Facility"). The revolving credit facility currently provides for
$325,000 of available credit. Starting June 30, 2001, revolving credit facility
commitments will be permanently reduced quarterly by increments ranging from
$7,500 to $40,000 through maturity on October 31, 2006. The senior Term Loan A
requires quarterly principal payments of $250 starting June 30, 2001 with final
payments in two equal installments of $47,125 on March 31 and September 30,
2007. The senior Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $625
starting June 30, 2001 with final payments in two equal installments of $117,188
on September 30 and December 31, 2007. The subordinated Term Loan A requires
quarterly principal payments of $313 starting June 30, 2001 with final payments
in two equal installments of $58,281 on January 31 and April 30, 2008.

     The borrowings outstanding under the subordinated Term Loan B were
initially due and payable on May 31, 1999. On May 14, 1999 the Partnership
amended the terms and conditions of the subordinated Term Loan B. The amendment
extends the maturity date of subordinated Term Loan B to January 1, 2000 and
increases the applicable margin to 0.500% for the period June 1, 1999 through
September 30, 1999 and 0.625% thereafter.

     Advances under the Bank Facility are available under interest rate options
related to the base rate of the administrative agent for the Bank Facility
("ABR") or LIBOR. Interest rates vary on borrowings under the revolving credit
facility from LIBOR plus 0.500% to LIBOR plus 1.875% or ABR to ABR plus 0.875%
based on the Partnership's ratio of senior debt to annualized semi-annual cash
flow, as defined ("Senior Leverage Ratio"). Interest rates vary on borrowings
under the senior Term Loan A from LIBOR plus 1.500% to LIBOR plus 2.125% or ABR
plus 0.500% to ABR plus 1.125%, and under the senior Term Loan B from LIBOR plus
1.750% to LIBOR plus 2.250% or ABR plus 0.750% to ABR plus 1.250% based on the
Partnership's Senior Leverage

Ratio. Interest rates on borrowings under the subordinated Term Loan A are at
LIBOR plus 2.75% or ABR plus 2.75%, and under the subordinated Term Loan B are
at LIBOR plus 0.300% or ABR plus 0.300%. The Bank Facility requires quarterly
interest payments, or more frequent interest payments if a shorter period is
selected under the LIBOR option, and quarterly payment of fees on the unused
portion of the revolving credit facility and the subordinated Term Loan B at
0.375% per annum when the Senior Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.0:1.0 and at
0.250% when the Senior Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.0:1.0.

     The Partnership has entered into interest rate swap agreements in the
aggregate notional principal amount of $500,000 to establish long-term fixed
interest rates on its variable rate debt. Under the swap agreements, the
Partnership pays quarterly interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.850% to 5.865%
and receives quarterly interest payments equal to LIBOR. The differential to be
paid or received in connection with an individual swap agreement is accrued as
interest rates change over the period for which the payment or receipts related.
The agreements expire July 2003.

     Borrowings under the Bank Facility, excluding the subordinated Term Loan B,
("Permanent Debt") are secured by the partnership interests of IPG-VI and
IP-VI's subsidiaries and negative pledges of the stock and assets of certain
AT&TBIS subsidiaries that are parties to an agreement ("Keepwell Agreement") to
support the Permanent Debt. Under the Keepwell Agreement, the AT&TBIS
subsidiaries are required to make loans to IPG-VI and IP-VI in an amount not to
exceed $489,500 if (i) IPG-VI or IP-VI fails to make payment of principal in
accordance with the respective debt agreements, or (ii) amounts due under the
respective debt agreements have been accelerated for non-payment or bankruptcy.
The subordinated Bank Term Loan B is secured by guarantees of AT&TBIS and
Blackstone Cable Acquisition Company, LLC, a 49.5% limited partner of ICP-VI
("Blackstone").

     The debt agreements contain certain covenants which restrict the
Partnership's ability to encumber assets, make investments or distributions,
retire partnership interests, pay management fees currently, incur or guarantee
additional indebtedness and purchase or sell assets. The debt agreements also
include financial covenants which require minimum interest and debt coverage
ratios and specify maximum debt to cash flows ratios.

7. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     InterMedia Capital Management VI, L.P. ("ICM-VI LP"), a California limited
partnership, which owns a 0.999% limited partner interest in ICP-VI, provides
certain management and administrative services to the Partnership for a per
annum fee of 1% of ICP-VI's total non-preferred partner contributions ("ICM
Management Fee") offset by certain expenses of the Partnership, as defined, up
to an amount equal to $500. In order to support the Partnership's debt, 50% of
the net ICM Management Fee is deferred until the Partnership's Senior Leverage
Ratio is less than five times. The remaining 50% of the net ICM Management Fee
is payable quarterly in advance. Any deferred ICM Management Fee bears interest
at 10%, compounded annually, payable upon payment of the deferred management
fee.

     Based on current capital contributions, the management fee per annum is
$2,020 less partnership expenses of $500.

     Pursuant to ICP-VI's partnership agreement, on April 30, 1998 the
Partnership prepaid $1,000 of the ICM Management Fee. ICM Management Fee expense
for the three-month period ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $380. At March 31,
1999 and December 31, 1998, the Partnership has a non-current payable to ICM-VI
LP of $393 and $13, respectively.

     The Partnership pays monitoring fees of $250 per annum to each of AT&TBIS
and Blackstone. 50% of the monitoring fees are deferred until the Partnership's
Senior Leverage Ratio is less than five times in order to

support the Partnership's debt. The remaining 50% is payable quarterly in
advance. Any deferred monitoring fees bear interest at 10%, compounded annually,
payable upon payment of the deferred monitoring fees. Management and consulting
fees of $505 for the three months ended March 31, 1999 include both the ICM
Management Fee and monitoring fees.

     Pursuant to ICP-VI's partnership agreement, on April 30, 1998 the
Partnership prepaid its monitoring fees for the period from April 30, 1999
through April 29, 2000. The Partnership recorded monitoring fee expense of $125
for the three months ended March 31, 1999 and has a non-current payable of $115
and $83 each to AT&TBIS and Blackstone at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively.

     In connection with raising its capital, the Partnership paid aggregate
transaction fees of $4,942 to AT&TBIS and Blackstone on April 30, 1998. The
amount has been recorded as syndication costs.

     InterMedia Management, Inc. ("IMI") is the sole member of InterMedia
Capital Management VI, LLC ("ICM-VI LLC"), the 0.001% general partner of ICP-VI.
IMI has entered into an agreement with the Partnership to provide accounting and
administrative services at cost. IMI also provides such services to other cable
systems which are affiliates of the Partnership. Administrative fees charged by
IMI for the three months ended March 31, 1999 were $1,015. Receivable from
affiliate includes $908 and $628 at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998,
respectively, of advances to IMI, net of administrative fees charged by IMI and
operating expenses paid by IMI on behalf of the Partnership.

     As an affiliate of AT&TBIS, the Partnership is able to purchase programming
services from a subsidiary of AT&TBIS. Management believes that the overall
programming rates made available through this relationship are lower than the
Partnership could obtain separately. Such volume rates may not continue to be
available in the future should AT&TBIS's ownership in the Partnership
significantly decrease. Programming fees charged by the AT&TBIS subsidiary for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $9,061. Payable to affiliates
at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 represents programming fees payable to
the AT&TBIS subsidiary.

     The Partnership entered into an agreement with an affiliate of AT&TBIS to
manage the Partnership's advertising business and related services for an annual
fixed fee per advertising sales subscriber, as defined by the agreement. In
addition to the annual fixed fee, AT&TBIS will be entitled to varying percentage
shares of the incremental growth in annual cash flow from advertising sales
above specified targets. Management fees charged by the AT&TBIS subsidiary for
the three months ended March 31, 1999 amounted to $90. Receivable from
affiliates at March 31, 1999 and December 31, 1998 includes $7,477 and $6,904,
respectively, of receivables from AT&TBIS for advertising sales.

8. CABLE TELEVISION REGULATION

     Cable television legislation and regulatory proposals under consideration
from time to time by Congress and various federal agencies have in the past, and
may in the future, materially affect the Partnership and the cable television
industry.

     The cable industry is currently regulated at the federal and local levels
under the Cable Act of 1984, the Cable Act of 1992 (the "1992 Act"), the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") and regulations issued by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in response to the 1992 Act. FCC
regulations govern the determination of rates charged for basic, expanded basic
and certain ancillary services, and cover a number of other areas including
customer service and technical performance standards, the required transmission
of certain local broadcast stations and the requirement to negotiate
retransmission consent from major network and certain local television stations.
Among other provisions, the 1996 Act eliminated rate regulation on the expanded
basic tier effective March 31, 1999.

                                  (UNAUDITED)

8. CABLE TELEVISION REGULATION--(CONTINUED)
     Current regulations issued in connection with the 1992 Act empower the FCC
and/or local franchise authorities to order reductions of existing rates which
exceed the maximum permitted levels and require refunds measured from the date a
complaint is filed in some circumstances or retroactively for up to one year in
other circumstances. Management believes it has made a fair interpretation of
the 1992 Act and related FCC regulations in determining regulated cable
television rates and other fees based on the information currently available.

     Many aspects of regulations at the federal and local levels are currently
the subject of judicial review and administrative proceedings. In addition, the
FCC continues to conduct rulemaking proceedings to implement various provisions
of the 1996 Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate outcome
of these reviews or proceedings or their effect on the Partnership.

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Partnership is committed to provide cable television services under
franchise agreements with remaining terms of up to eighteen years. Franchise
fees of up to 5% of gross revenues are payable under these agreements.

     Current FCC regulations require that cable television operators obtain
permission to retransmit major network and certain local television station
signals. The Partnership has entered into long-term retransmission agreements
with all applicable stations in exchange for in-kind and/or other consideration.

     On April 30, 1999 the Partnership was named as an additional defendant in a
purported class action which was originally filed in January 1998 against
AT&TBIS and certain of its affiliates in the State of Kentucky concerning late
fee charges and practices. Certain cable systems owned by the Partnership charge
late fees to customers who do not pay their cable bills on time. These late fee
cases challenge the amount of the late fees and the practices under which they
are imposed. The Plaintiffs raise claims under state consumer protection
statues, other state statues, and common law. Plaintiffs generally allege that
the late fees charged by the Partnership's cable systems in the State of
Kentucky are not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable systems
as a result of late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable systems to reduce
their late fees on a prospective basis and to provide compensation for alleged
excessive late fee charges for past periods. Based on the facts available,
management believes that, although no assurances can be given as to the outcome
of these actions, the ultimate disposition of these matters should not have a
material adverse effect upon the financial position, results of operations or
cash flows of the Partnership.

     The Partnership is subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of any
existing litigation or other claims will not have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     During the three months ended March 31, 1999, the Partnership paid interest
of $13,595.

     In connection with the exchange of certain cable television assets in and
around Henderson, Kentucky on February 1, 1999, as described in Note 3 --
Exchange of Cable Properties, the Partnership received cash of $3,820.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On April 18, 1999, the Partnership's general and limited partners, other
than AT&TBIS, entered into an agreement with Insight Communications Company,
L.P. to sell their partner interests in ICP-VI. The sale is expected to close
during the third or fourth quarter of 1999. Upon the sale, Insight
Communications Company, L.P. is expected to manage the Partnership.

     On February 17 and March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into agreements
with FrontierVision Operating Partnership, L.P. ("FrontierVision") to exchange
its cable television assets located in central Kentucky for cable television
assets located in northern Kentucky. On June 1, 1999 the Partnership completed
the exchange with respect to certain of the systems and received cash of
$13,260. Effective June 1, 1999, under the terms of related management
agreements, the Partnership will manage and operate the remaining systems of
FrontierVision in northern Kentucky, and FrontierVision will manage and operate
the Partnership's remaining systems in central Kentucky. The management
agreements will terminate upon completion of the exchanges which are expected to
close during the third or fourth quarter of 1999. The exchanges are expected to
result in a gain.

                                TCI IPVI SYSTEMS
            (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)
                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1998

                                  (UNAUDITED)


(1) BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The combined financial statements include the accounts of eight of TCI's
cable television systems and five related advertising sales offices serving
certain subscribers within Kentucky (collectively, the "TCI IPVI Systems"). This
combination was created in connection with the Partnership formation discussed
below. Through February 1998, the TCI IPVI Systems were either 100%-owned or
majority-owned by TCI. In March 1998, through a series of transactions, TCI
acquired the remaining interest in the majority-owned entities from a third
party. As a result of these transactions, the TCI IPVI Systems' combined
financial statements include a March 1998 allocation of TCI's cost to acquire
such interest. Such allocation resulted in $69,646,000 of franchise costs and
$26,640,000 of deferred tax liabilities. All significant inter-entity accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in combination. The combined net assets of
TCI IPVI Systems are referred to as "Parent's Investment."

     The accompanying interim combined financial statements are unaudited but,
in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for such
period. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily
indicative of results for the full year. These combined financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited combined financial statements and
notes thereto contained in the Insight Communications Company, Inc. Form S-1
registration statement as of April 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and for the
four-month period ended April 30, 1998 and for each of the years in the two-year
period ended December 31, 1997.

     TCI's ownership interest in the IPVI Systems, as described above, were
acquired through transactions whereby TCI acquired various larger cable entities
(the "Original Systems"). The TCI IPVI System's combined financial statements
include an allocation of certain purchase accounting adjustments, including the
related deferred tax effects, from TCI's acquisition of the Original Systems.
Such allocation and the related franchise cost amortization was based on the
relative fair market value of the systems involved. In addition, certain costs
of TCI are charged to the TCI IPVI Systems based on their number of customers
(see note 2). Although such allocations are not necessarily indicative of the
costs that would have been incurred by the TCI IPVI Systems on a stand alone
basis, management believes that the resulting allocated amounts are reasonable.

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

(2) PARENT'S INVESTMENT

     Parent's investment in the TCI IPVI Systems at March 31, 1998 is summarized
as follows:

                                                                                    --------

     The amount due to TCI includes non-interest bearing advances for
operations, acquisitions and construction costs, as well as, the non-interest
bearing amounts owed as a result of the allocation of certain costs from TCI.

(2) PARENT'S INVESTMENT--(CONTINUED)
     As a result of TCI's controlling ownership of the TCI IPVI Systems, the
non-interest bearing amounts due to TCI have been classified as a component of
Parent's investment in the accompanying combined financial statements.

     The TCI IPVI Systems purchase, at TCI's cost, substantially all of their
pay television and other programming from affiliates of TCI. Charges for such
programming was $10,967,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 1998 and
are included in operating expenses in the accompanying combined financial
statements.

     Certain subsidiaries of TCI provide administrative services to the TCI IPVI
Systems and have assumed managerial responsibility of the TCI IPVI Systems'
cable television system operations and construction. As compensation for these
services, the TCI IPVI Systems pay a monthly fee calculated on a per-subscriber
basis.

     The intercompany advances and expense allocation activity in amounts due to
TCI consists of the following:



                                                                                 MARCH 31, 1998

(3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the
"1992 Cable Act") imposed certain rate regulations on the cable television
industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act, all cable systems are subject to rate
regulation, unless they face "effective competition," as defined by the 1992
Cable Act and expanded in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),
in their local franchise area.

     Although the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has established
regulations required by the 1992 Cable Act, local government units (commonly
referred to as local franchising authorities) are primarily responsible for
administering the regulation of a cable system's basic service tier ("BST"). The
FCC itself directly administered rate regulation of any cable programming
service tier ("CPST"). The FCC's authority to regulate CPST rates expired on
March 31, 1999. The FCC has taken the position that it will still adjudicate
CPST complaints filed after this sunset date (but no later than 180 days after
the last CPST rate increase imposed prior to March 31, 1999), and will strictly
limit its review (and possible refund orders) to the time period predating the
sunset date.

     Under the FCC's rate regulations, most cable systems were required to
reduce their BST and CPST rates in 1993 and 1994, and have since had their rate
increases governed by a complicated price structure that allows for the recovery
of inflation and certain increased costs, as well as providing some incentive
for expanding channel carriage. Operators also have the opportunity to bypass
this "benchmark" regulatory structure in favor of the traditional
"cost-of-service" regulation in cases where the latter methodology appears
favorable. Premium cable services offered on a per-channel or per-program basis
remain unregulated, as do affirmatively marketed packages consisting entirely of
new programming product.

                                TCI IPVI SYSTEMS
            (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)
              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)


                                 MARCH 31, 1998
                                  (UNAUDITED)


(3) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES--(CONTINUED)
     The management of the TCI IPVI Systems believe that it has complied in all
material respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the 1996 Act,
including its rate setting provisions. However, certain franchising authorities
have filed Local Rate Orders challenging the rates of certain of the TCI IPVI
Systems. If, as a result of the review process, a system cannot substantiate its
rates, it could be required to retroactively reduce its rates to the appropriate
benchmark and refund the excess portion of rates received. Any refunds of the
excess portion of CPST rates would be retroactive to the date of complaint. Any
refunds of the excess portion of BST or equipment rates would be retroactive to
one year prior to the implementation of the rate reductions. TCI has indemnified
the Partnership (as defined in note 4) for certain rate refund liabilities of
the TCI IPVI Systems through March 31, 1999.

     Certain plaintiffs have filed or threatened separate class action
complaints against certain of the systems of TCI IPVI Systems, alleging that the
systems' practice of assessing an administrative fee to subscribers whose
payments are delinquent constitutes an invalid liquidated damage provision, a
breach of contract, and violates local consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs
seek recovery of all late fees paid to the subject systems as a class purporting
to consist of all subscribers who were assessed such fees during the applicable
limitation period, plus attorney fees and costs.

     The TCI IPVI Systems have contingent liabilities related to legal
proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
Although it is possible the TCI IPVI Systems may incur losses upon conclusion of
the matters referred to above, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot
presently be made. Based upon the facts available, management believes that,
although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these actions, the
ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined
financial condition of the TCI IPVI Systems.

     TCI formed a Year 2000 Program Management Office (the "PMO") to organize
and manage its Year 2000 remediation efforts. The PMO is responsible for
overseeing, coordinating and reporting on TCI's Year 2000 remediation efforts,
including the Year 2000 remediation efforts of the TCI IPVI Systems prior to the
Contribution (as defined in note 4). Subsequent to the date of the Contribution,
the Year 2000 remediation efforts of the TCI IPVI Systems are no longer the
responsibility of TCI or the PMO.

     The failure to correct a material Year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption or failure of certain important business operations. There can be
no assurance that the TCI IPVI Systems or the systems of other companies on
which the TCI IPVI Systems relies will be converted in time or that any such
failure to convert by the TCI IPVI Systems or other companies will not have a
material adverse effect on its results of operations or cash flows.

(4) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     Effective April 30, 1998, TCI and InterMedia Capital Management VI, L.P.
("InterMedia") executed a transaction under a Contribution Agreement ("the
Contribution"), whereby TCI contributed certain cable television systems and
advertising sales offices, the TCI IPVI Systems, to a newly formed partnership
between TCI, Blackstone Cable Acquisition Company, LLC, and InterMedia Capital
Management VI, LLC (the "Partnership") in exchange for an approximate 49.5%
ownership interest in the Partnership. TCI's 49.5% interest consists of a
49.005% direct ownership interest issued in exchange for its contribution and an
indirect ownership of .495% through its 49.55% limited partner interest in
InterMedia. In connection with the contribution, the Partnership assumed
$322.5 million of bank debt and $489.5 million of intercompany interest bearing
notes owed by the TCI IPVI Systems to TCI and its affiliates. These amounts were
subsequently paid by the Partnership, net of certain post close adjustments. The
accompanying combined financial statements reflect

the results of operations and cash flows of the TCI IPVI Systems immediately
prior to the contribution transaction, and, therefore, do not include the
effects of such transactions.

     On April 30, 1998, in connection with Partnership formation described
above, TCI caused the TCI IPVI Systems to effect a dividend to TCI aggregating
$489,488,000 ("the Dividend"). The Dividend resulted in an increase to the
interest bearing intercompany notes owed to TCI and a corresponding increase to
accumulated deficit.

                    NOTES TO CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (UNAUDITED)

                                 MARCH 31, 1999


1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE

     Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio" or the
"Company") was formed on July 23, 1998 in order to acquire substantially all of
the assets and liabilities comprising the cable television system of Coaxial
Communications of Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial"). On August 21, 1998, Coaxial
contributed to Insight Ohio all of the assets and liabilities comprising
Coaxial's cable television system for which Coaxial received a 25% non-voting
common membership interest in Insight Ohio as well as 100% of the voting
preferred membership interests of Insight Ohio ("Series A and Series B Preferred
Interests"). In conjunction therewith, Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC ("IHO")
contributed $10 million in cash to Insight Ohio for which it received a 75%
non-voting common membership interest in Insight Ohio. The accompanying
financial statements for the three month period ended March 31, 1998, include
the operations of the cable television system contributed by Coaxial to Insight
Ohio, as if the aforementioned contribution had occurred as of January 1, 1998
(the beginning of the period), and represent the operations of the cable system
operating unit (the "Operating Unit" and predecessor to Insight Ohio), which,
prior to such date, was an operating unit within Coaxial. The amounts included
in the accompanying March 31, 1998 financial statements for the Operating Unit
include only those assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses directly related
to the cable television system contributed to Insight Ohio. Prior to the
contribution of the Operating Unit to Insight Ohio, the Company had nominal
assets and no operations. Insight Ohio provides basic and expanded cable
services to homes in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas.

     On August 21, 1998, Coaxial and Phoenix Associates, a related entity,
issued $140 million of 10% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due in 2006. The Senior
Notes are non-recourse and are secured by all issued and outstanding Series A
Preferred Interest in Insight Ohio and are conditionally guaranteed by Insight
Ohio. On August 21, 1998, Coaxial Financing Corp. and Coaxial LLC, related
entities, issued 12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 ("Discount Notes"). The
Discount Notes have a face amount of $55,869,000 and approximately $30 million
of gross proceeds were received upon issuance. The Discount Notes are
non-recourse, secured by 100% of the common stock of Coaxial, and conditionally
guaranteed by Insight Ohio.

2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION


     The accompanying unaudited financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted
accounting principles for complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered
necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the
three month period ended March 31, 1999 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 1999.



     For further information, refer to the Company's financial statements and
footnotes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1998, included elsewhere in
this registration statement.


3. CONTINGENCIES

     Insight Ohio is a party in or may be affected by various matters under
litigation. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will
not have a significant adverse effect on either Insight Ohio's future results of
operations or financial position.

                         REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS

The Partners
Insight Communications Company, L.P.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Insight
Communications Company, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) as of December 31, 1997 and
1998, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in
partners' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Partnership's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on
these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Insight
Communications Company, L.P. (A Limited Partnership) at December 31, 1997 and
1998, and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 1998, in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Note C to the consolidated financial statements, in 1998 the
Partnership changed its method of accounting for cable system exchanges.

                      INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

A. ORGANIZATION

     Insight Communications Company, L.P., (the "Partnership"), is a Delaware
limited partnership, that owns, operates, and manages cable television systems.
Pursuant to the partnership agreement, the Partnership will terminate by
December 31, 2020 unless further extended. As of December 31, 1998, the
Partnership operates cable television systems in Illinois, California, Georgia,
Indiana, Kentucky and Virginia. As the Partnership is a limited partnership, the
liability of its limited partners is limited to their respective investment in
the Partnership.


     The general partner of the Partnership is ICC Associates, L.P. ("ICC" or
the "General Partner"), a limited partnership whose general partner is ICI
Communications Inc. ("ICI"). ICC also holds an interest of approximately
4,554,000 common limited partnership units ("Common Units") in the Partnership.


B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Principles of Consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the
Partnership and Insight Communications of Indiana, LLC, ("Insight Indiana") a
50% owned joint venture in which the Partnership has effective control through
majority representation on its management committee (see Note D). The minority
interest liability represents Tele-Communications, Inc.'s ("TCI") 50% ownership
interest in Insight Indiana. All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Partnership's 75% non-
voting common interest in Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight
Ohio") is accounted for under the equity method (see Note E).

  Reclassifications

     Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current
year's presentation.

  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Revenue Recognition

     Revenues include service fees, connection fees, and launch fees. Service
fees are recorded in the month the cable television and pay television services
are provided to subscribers. Connection fees are charged for the hook-up of new
customers and are recognized as current revenues to the extent of direct selling
costs incurred. Where material, any fees in excess of such costs are deferred
and amortized into income over the period that subscribers are expected to
remain connected to the system. Launch fees are deferred and amortized over the
period of the underlying contract.

  Cash Equivalents

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of
three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

  Fixed Assets


     Fixed assets include amounts capitalized for labor and overhead expended in
connection with the installation of cable television systems and are stated at
cost. Depreciation for furniture, fixtures, office equipment, buildings, and
equipment is computed using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives
ranging from 3 to 19 years.


                                      F-34

                      INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

Leasehold improvements are being amortized using the straight-line method over
the remaining terms of the leases or the estimated lives of the improvements,
whichever period is shorter. Management does not believe that any events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of these long-lived
assets may not be recovered. The carrying value of fixed assets will be reviewed
if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this review
indicates that the fixed assets will not be recovered from the undiscounted
future cash flows of the Partnership, an impairment loss would be recorded by
the amount that the carrying value exceeds fair value. Based on its most recent
analysis, the Partnership believes that no material impairment of fixed assets
exists as of December 31, 1998.


  Intangible Assets


     Intangible assets consist of franchise costs and goodwill. Costs incurred
in negotiating and renewing franchise agreements are capitalized and amortized
over the life of the franchise. Franchise rights acquired through the purchase
of cable television systems are amortized using the straight-line method over a
period of up to 15 years. Goodwill is amortized using the straight-line method
over a period of 40 years. The carrying value of intangible assets will be
reviewed if facts and circumstances suggest that they may be impaired. If this
review indicates that the intangible assets will not be recovered from the
undiscounted future cash flows of the Partnership, an impairment loss would be
recorded by the amount that the carrying value exceeds fair value. Based on its
most recent analysis, the Partnership believes that no material impairment of
intangible assets exists as of December 31, 1998.


  Deferred Financing Costs

     Deferred financing costs relate to costs, primarily legal fees and bank
facility fees, incurred to negotiate and secure bank loans (see Note H). These
costs are being amortized on a straight line basis over the life of the
applicable loan.

  Income Taxes

     No provision has been made in the accompanying financial statements for
Federal, State or Local income taxes since income or losses of the Partnership
is reportable by the individual partners in their respective tax returns. At
December 31, 1998, had the Partnership converted to a corporation, the
Partnership would have recognized a one-time non-recurring charge to earnings of
approximately $45 million to record a net deferred tax liability associated with
the change from a limited partnership to a corporation.

  Allocation of Profits and Losses

     Profits and losses are allocated between the partners for financial
reporting purposes based on cash distribution and liquidating distribution
preferences per the partnership agreement. For the years ended December 31,
1996, 1997 and 1998, losses were allocated 1% to the General Partner for its
interest and 99% to the limited partners.

     The partnership agreement, as amended, provides for, among other matters,
the allocation of all items of profit and loss and the priority and allocation
of cash distributions. The General Partner also owns Common Units in the
Partnership.

B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)
  Advertising Costs

     The cost of advertising is expensed as incurred. For the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 advertising expense approximated $274,000,
$369,000, and $702,000, respectively.

  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement No. 133, "Accounting for Derivative
Instruments and Hedging Activities" (the "Statement"). The Partnership expects
to adopt the Statement effective January 1, 2000. The Statement will require the
Partnership to recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.
Although management has not completed its assessment of the impact of the
Statement on its results of operations and financial position, management does
not anticipate that the adoption of this Statement will be material.

C. ACQUISITIONS AND GAIN ON CABLE SYSTEM EXCHANGES


     Effective December 16, 1997, the Partnership exchanged their Phoenix,
Arizona system ("Phoenix") servicing 36,250 subscribers for Cox Communications,
Inc.'s Lafayette, Indiana system ("Lafayette") servicing 38,100 subscribers.
Pursuant to Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code, such transaction was
treated as a tax free like-kind exchange. In addition to the Lafayette system
received, the Partnership received $12.6 million in cash. In its 1997 financial
statements, the Partnership accounted for the aforementioned system exchange at
book value as the Partnership did not consider the exchange as an exchange of
businesses, but rather as an exchange of like-kind productive assets. In
addition, the Partnership recognized a gain of approximately $10.9 million to
the extent that the aforementioned proceeds received exceeded the proportionate
share of the carrying value of the Phoenix system surrendered. In connection
with the Partnership exploring various sources of financing, including a
potential initial public offering, the Partnership changed its accounting policy
related to this exchange and has accounted for the aforementioned exchange as a
sale and purchase of assets. This change in accounting was made as a result of
the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") viewpoint that swapping of
businesses, even if in the same line of business, should be accounted for at
fair value under the guidance of APB opinion No. 16, "Business Combinations."
Accordingly, the accompanying 1997 financial statements include a gain of
$79.0 million on the sale of the Phoenix system, which amount represents the
difference between the fair value of the Phoenix System ($92.6 million) and its
carrying value. The Lafayette purchase price ($80.0 million) was allocated to
the cable television assets acquired in relation to their fair values as
increases in property and equipment of $22.4 million and franchise costs of
$56.6 million. Purchase price adjustments for differences in working capital
between the Phoenix and Lafayette systems were not significant. Effective
November 1, 1998, the Partnership contributed the Lafayette system into Insight
Indiana (see Note D).



     On January 22, 1998, the Partnership acquired a cable television system
located in Rockford, Illinois ("Rockford") for $97 million. This acquisition has
been accounted for as a purchase. The Partnership paid for the acquisition with
borrowings under its credit facility and with the $12.6 million of cash received
in the aforementioned Phoenix/Lafayette swap and held on deposit with a
qualified intermediary. The purchase price was allocated to the cable television
assets acquired in relation to their fair values as increases in property and
equipment of $11.5 million and franchise costs of $85.5 million. Purchase-price
adjustments for working capital acquired were not significant. Franchise costs,
arising from the acquisition, are being amortized over a period of 15 years. The
results of operations of Rockford have been included in the accompanying
statements of operations since its acquisition date.



     Effective October 31, 1998, the Partnership exchanged its Sandy, Brigham
City and Vernal, Utah systems (the "Utah Systems") servicing approximately
56,200 subscribers with TCI for their Jasper and Evansville, Indiana systems
servicing approximately 63,000 subscribers. This transaction has been accounted
for by the Partnership as a sale of the Utah Systems and purchase of the Jasper
and Evansville systems. Accordingly, the

                      INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

C. ACQUISITIONS AND GAIN ON CABLE SYSTEM EXCHANGES--(CONTINUED)

Evansville and Jasper systems have been included in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheets at $125.0 million (fair value of Utah Systems) and
the Partnership recognized a gain on the sale of the Utah Systems of
approximately $112.0 million which amount represents the difference between the
carrying value of the Utah Systems and their fair value. The Evansville and
Jasper systems purchase price was allocated to the cable television assets
acquired as increases in property and equipment of $24 million and franchise
costs of $101 million. Purchase price adjustments recorded for differences in
working capital between the Utah systems and the Evansville and Jasper systems
were not material. Franchise costs arising from the acquisition of the
Evansville and Jasper systems are being amortized on the straight-line method
over a period of 15 years. In a simultaneous transaction, the Jasper and
Evansville systems were contributed by the Partnership into Insight Indiana (See
Note D).


D. INSIGHT INDIANA


     Effective October 31, 1998, the Partnership and TCI entered into a
contribution agreement ("Contribution Agreement"). Pursuant to the terms of the
Contribution Agreement, the Partnership and TCI contributed certain of their
cable television systems located in Indiana and Northern Kentucky to Insight
Indiana (a newly formed limited liability corporation) in exchange for 50%
equity interests therein. The cable television systems contributed to Insight
Indiana by the Partnership included the Jasper and Evansville systems that were
acquired by the Partnership from TCI. Pursuant to the terms of the Insight
Indiana Operating Agreement, Insight Indiana has a twelve year life, unless
extended by TCI and the Partnership. In addition, the Operating Agreement states
that the Partnership is the manager of Insight Indiana and effectively controls
its board, including all of the operating and financial decisions pertaining to
Insight Indiana. Accordingly, the accompanying consolidated financial statements
include the accounts of Insight Indiana since its inception on October 31, 1998.
The Partnership has accounted for the TCI contributed systems as a purchase.
Accordingly, the historical carrying value of the TCI contributed systems have
been increased by an amount equivalent to 50% of the difference between the fair
value of the systems and their respective carrying values ($89.1 million). In
addition, in accordance with EITF 90-13, "Accounting for Simultaneous Common
Control Mergers", the Partnership recognized a gain of $44.3 million on the
contribution of its remaining systems (exclusive of Evansville and Jasper) to
Insight Indiana, equivalent to 50% of the difference between the carrying value
of such systems and their fair value. The aforementioned fair value was
allocated to the cable television assets contributed by TCI in relation to their
fair values as increases in property and equipment of $58.0 million and
franchise costs of $181.6 million. Other assets and liabilities contributed by
TCI were not significant ($1.5 million). In connection with the contribution of
TCI's cable television systems, TCI contributed $214.6 million of intercompany
debt owed by such systems to Insight Indiana. Similarly, the Partnership
contributed $237.4 million of debt pertaining to the systems that it contributed
to Insight Indiana. During November 1998, Insight Indiana repaid such amounts to
TCI and the Partnership, which payments were funded by borrowings under its
credit facility.


     The pro forma unaudited results of operations of the Partnership for the
years ended December 31 assuming the contribution of the TCI systems occurred on
January 1, 1997 is as follows (in thousands):



                                                                           1997        1998
                                                                         --------    --------

Net income............................................................     75,343     113,633


     The Partnership earns a management fee for managing Insight Indiana
equivalent to 3% of Insight Indiana's revenues. For the two months ended
December 31, 1998, the Partnership earned approximately $.7 million of
management fees from Insight Indiana.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

E. INSIGHT OHIO

     On August 21, 1998, the Partnership and Coaxial Communications of Central
Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial") entered into a contribution agreement (the "Coaxial
Contribution Agreement") pursuant to which Coaxial contributed to Insight Ohio
(a newly formed limited liability company) substantially all of the assets and
liabilities of its cable television systems located in Columbus, Ohio and the
Partnership contributed to Insight Ohio $10 million in cash. As a result of the
Coaxial Contribution Agreement, Coaxial owns 25% of the non-voting common equity
and the Partnership owns 75% of the non-voting common equity of Insight Ohio. In
addition, Coaxial also received two separate series of voting preferred equity
(Series A Preferred Interest--$140 million and Series B Preferred
Interest--$30 million) of Insight Ohio (collectively the "Voting Preferred").
The Voting Preferred provides for cash distributions to Coaxial and certain of
its affiliates as follows; Series A--10% and Series B--12 7/8%. Insight Ohio
cannot redeem the Series A Preferred interest or the Series B Preferred Interest
without the permission of the Principals of Coaxial; however, Insight Ohio is
required to redeem the Series B Preferred Interest on August 21, 2008. Coaxial
has pledged the Series A Preferred Interest and Series B Preferred Interest as
security for $140 million of 10% senior notes due in 2006 issued by Coaxial and
affiliate and $55.9 million of aggregate principal amount at maturity of 12 7/8%
senior discount notes due in 2008 issued by Coaxial's majority shareholder and
an affiliate, respectively. The Discount Notes and Senior Notes are
conditionally guaranteed by Insight Ohio.


     Insight Ohio was formed solely for the purpose of completing the
aforementioned transaction. The Partnership, as manager of Insight Ohio, earns a
management fee from Insight Ohio equal to 3% of Insight Ohio's revenues. For the
period from August 21, 1998 through December 31, 1998, the Partnership earned
approximately $.5 million in management fees from Insight Ohio.



     Although the Partnership manages and controls the day to day operations of
Insight Ohio, the shareholders of Coaxial have significant participating rights
(their approval is required for disposition of assets). Accordingly, by analogy
to EITF 96-16 "Investors Accounting for an Investee When the Investor has a
Majority of the Voting Interests, but the Minority Shareholders Have Certain
Approval or Veto Rights," the Partnership is accounting for its investment in
Insight Ohio under the equity method of accounting. The Partnership is
amortizing the difference between its initial $10 million investment and its 75%
interest in Insight Ohio's deficiency in assets over a period of 12 1/2 years,
which period represents the average life of Insight Ohio's tangible and
intangible assets. Accordingly, the accompanying statement of operations for the
year ended December 31, 1998 includes the Partnership's share of Insight Ohio's
operating income (approximately $.1 million) and the amortization of the
aforementioned deficiency in assets (approximately $3.3 million) from
August 21, 1998 (the effective date of the Coaxial Contribution Agreement)
through December 31, 1998.


     At December 31, 1998, Insight Ohio has a $25 million revolving line of
credit. At December 31, 1998, no amounts were outstanding under this line of
credit.

     In November, 1996, the Partnership entered into a second amended and
restated credit facility ("Amended Credit Facility"), which superseded the
Partnership's prior credit facility. The Amended Credit Facility provided for
loans totaling $220 million. On January 22, 1998, the Partnership entered into a
third amended and restated credit facility which increased the maximum amount of
borrowings under the amended and restated credit facility to $340 million. As a
result of the contribution of certain of the Partnership's cable television
systems to Insight Indiana and the execution by Insight Indiana of its own
credit facility, the Partnership entered into a fourth amended and restated
credit agreement which expires in December 2005 and reduced the maximum amount
of borrowings to $140 million. Borrowings under the fourth amended and restated
credit facility bear interest at either the Alternative Base Rate (ABR) or
reserve-adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), plus the Applicable
Margin as defined. The Applicable Margin varies based upon levels of total
leverage ranging from

H. DEBT--(CONTINUED)
0.0% to 0.625% under the ABR option and 1.0% to 1.875% under the LIBOR option.
The second and third amended and restated credit facilities contained similar
rates for interest. At December 31, 1998, approximately $111 million was
outstanding under this facility.

     The fourth amended and restated credit facility is subject to numerous
restrictive covenants, including but not limited to, restrictions on incurrence
of indebtedness, mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, distributions, and capital
expenditures. In addition, there are a series of financial tests including those
measuring the Partnership's coverage ratios and leverage. For the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998 average interest rates were 10.7%, 8.4% and
8.2%, respectively. Such amended credit facility is secured by substantially all
the present and future assets of the Partnership other than those of Insight
Indiana.

     In March 1993, the Partnership issued $108 million aggregate principal
amount of 11 1/4% Notes due in full on March 1, 2000. Effective March 1, 1997,
the Partnership repurchased such notes for $111.2 million which resulted in an
extraordinary loss of $5.2 million.

     On November 24, 1997, the Partnership purchased the limited partnership
interest held by Media One for $10.3 million. The Partnership paid $2.6 million
in cash and issued a two-year senior subordinated note payable for
$7.7 million. The note bears interest at a rate of 9% payable annually.
Remaining principal payments approximate $2.6 million at December 31, 1998 and
are due on November 24, 1999. Should the Partnership default on any portion of
the aforementioned senior subordinated note, Media One would be entitled to a
pro-rata share of the limited partnership units purchased by the Partnership.

     At December 31, 1998, Insight Indiana has a credit facility that provides
for long term loans of $300 million and for revolving credit loans of up to $250
million. The Insight Indiana credit facility matures in December 2006, and
contains quarterly reductions in the amount of outstanding loans and commitments
commencing in March 2001. Obligations under this credit facility are secured by
substantially all of the assets of Insight Indiana. Loans under the Insight
Indiana credit facility bear interest at an ABR or LIBOR plus an additional
margin tied to certain debt ratios of Insight Indiana. The credit facility
requires Insight Indiana to meet certain debt financial covenants. At
December 31, 1998 approximately $460 million was outstanding under the facility.

     At December 31, 1998 required annual principal payments under the
aforementioned credit facilities and the Media One note are as follows (in
thousands):

I. REDEEMABLE CLASS B UNITS, WARRANTS AND REDEEMABLE PREFERRED LIMITED UNITS



     On January 29, 1998, the Partnership issued 47,215,859 Class B partnership
Units ("Class B Units") to Vestar Capital Partners III, LP ("Vestar") and
Sandler Capital Partners, collectively the "Class B Partners", in exchange for
$50 million in cash, resulting in the Class B Partners holding a 45% of the
outstanding partnership units on a fully diluted basis in the Partnership. In
connection with the issuance of the Class B Units, the Partnership paid
placement fees and expenses of $1.7 million to Vestar and $2.7 million to an
investment banking institution which amounts have been netted against the
aforementioned proceeds. The Class B Partners have additional rights from those
of the Class A Partners including veto rights, debt incurrance above certain
levels

and certain rights in insolvency. The amendment to the Partnership Agreement
admitting the Class B Partners included a put/call arrangement whereby the
Partnership or the Class B partners may call or put, respectively, the Class B
units during a 60 day period commencing in July 2004 at their fair market value.
The counterparties to the put/call arrangement, are limited to the Partnership
and the Class B partners. Distributions between the Class A Units and Class B
Units are made on a per unit basis until the Class B Units earn a 25% annual
internal rate of return at which time distributions are amended to approximately
29.4% to the Class B Unit holders and 70.6% to the Class A Unit holders. In
addition, the general partner is entitled to receive a percentage of the Class B
units upon the achievement of certain performance criteria. Although no event
has arisen which would result in the application of such performance criteria,
at  December 31, 1998, the Partnership has accreted the Class B Units in an
amount equivalent to the aforementioned 25% internal rate of return. The Class B
Units agreement provides for demand and piggyback registration rights after an
initial public offering of common equity of the Partnership or its corporate
successor.



     In connection with a debt issuance in 1988, the Partnership issued
1,378,830 detachable warrants which were valued at $5.6 million at the date of
issuance. Each warrant entitles the holder thereof to purchase 4.22 Class A
Units in the Partnership at an exercise price of $1.61 per warrant. For
accounting purposes, the value of the warrants was determined by management
assuming that a sale of the Partnership had occurred as of each year-end and
without regard to the illiquid nature of the warrants. During 1997 and 1998, the
Partnership acquired 176,490 and 512,200 warrants for approximately $.3 million
and $.8 million, respectively. The value of the warrants at December 31, 1997
was approximately $3.5 million, which was estimated based on a valuation of the
Partnership prepared by management. During 1998, 599,310 warrants were converted
into 2,529,088 Class A Units and 383,303 warrants expired. Accordingly, at
December 31, 1998, no warrants were outstanding.


     In 1993, the Partnership issued redeemable preferred limited units to a
group of investors for a gross purchase price of $27 million. During January
1998, all of the remaining units were redeemed for $60 million pursuant to a
negotiated agreement. Prior to such redemption, the units had a liquidation
preference equal to the capital contribution plus a cumulative return on such
capital at an annual rate of 12 1/2%. In addition, the units shared in the
increase in the equity value of the Partnership. At December 31, 1997 the
preferred limited units have been accreted to $60 million in the accompanying
consolidated balance sheet. At December 31, 1996 and 1997, the accreted
redemption value of the preferred limited units was derived by the Partnership
in the same manner as the value of the warrants.

J. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

  Concentrations of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Partnership to
significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash
investments and accounts receivable.

     The Partnership maintains cash and cash equivalents, with various financial
institutions. These financial institutions are located throughout the country
and the Partnership's policy is designed to limit exposure to any one
institution.

     Concentrations of credit risk with respect to accounts receivable are
limited due to the large number of customers comprising the Partnership's
customer base.

     The following methods and assumptions were used by the Partnership in
estimating its fair value disclosures for financial instruments:

          Cash and cash equivalents:  The carrying amount reported in the
     balance sheet for cash and cash equivalents approximates fair value.

                                      F-41

                      INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS COMPANY, L.P.
            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

J. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS--(CONTINUED)
          Debt:  The carrying amounts of the Partnership's borrowings under its
     revolving credit arrangements approximate fair value as they bear interest
     at floating rates.

     The carrying amounts and fair values of the Partnership's financial
instruments at December 31 approximate fair value.

     As required by its credit facilities, the Partnership enters into
interest-rate swap agreements to modify the interest characteristics of its
outstanding debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate basis. These agreements
involve the payment of fixed rate amounts in exchange for floating rate interest
receipts over the life of the agreement without an exchange of the underlying
principal amount. The differential to be paid or received is accrued as interest
rates change and is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense related to
the debt. The related amount payable to or receivable from counterparties is
included in other liabilities or assets. At December 31, 1998 the Partnership
has entered into various interest rate swap and collar agreements effectively
fixing interest rates between 5.35% and 6.16% on $301 million notional value of
debt. The fair values of the swap agreements are not recognized in the financial
statements and approximated $1.2 million at December 31, 1998.

K. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     The Partnership has an agreement with Media One which enables the
Partnership to obtain certain services (principally pay and basic cable
programming services) and equipment at rates lower than those which would be
available from independent parties. Management believes that the loss of such
favorable rates could have a material adverse effect on the financial condition
and results of operations of the Partnership. In each of the years ended
December 31, 1996, 1997, and 1998, programming and other operating costs include
approximately $.2 million of expenses related to programming services paid to
Media One.

     In addition, in connection with the Contribution Agreement (see note D),
Insight Indiana purchases substantially all of its pay television and other
programming from affiliates of TCI. Charges for such programming were
$1.4 million for the period from November 1, 1998 through December 31, 1998.
Management believes that the programming rates charged by TCI affiliates are
lower than those which would be available for independent parties.

     During the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998 the Partnership
reimbursed ICI for officers' salaries paid on its behalf of approximately
$1.7 million, $1.6 million and $1.8 million, respectively.

     The General Partner leases, from an unaffiliated third party, office space
in New York City for the Partnership's principal executive offices, and the
Partnership reimburses the General Partner for the rent for such offices. For
the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998, the Partnership paid
$.4 million, $.4 million, and $.5 million for rent to the General Partner.

L. 401(K) PLAN

     The Partnership sponsors a savings and investment 401(k) Plan (the "Plan")
for the benefit of its employees. ICI is also a sponsor of the Plan. All
employees who have completed six months of employment and have attained age 21
are eligible to participate in the Plan. The Partnership makes matching
contributions equal to 25% of the employee's contribution which is not in excess
of 5% of the employee's wages. During 1996, 1997 and 1998 the Partnership
matched contributions of approximately $49,000, $51,000 and $188,000,
respectively.

M. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Partnership leases and subleases equipment and office space under
operating lease arrangements expiring through December 31, 2015. Future minimum
rental payments required under operating leases are as follows:

                                                                  ------


     Rental expense for the years ended December 31, 1996, 1997 and 1998
approximated $.7 million, $.7 million and $1 million, respectively.

     Certain of the Partnership's individual systems have been named in
purported class actions in various jurisdictions concerning late fee charges and
practices. Certain of the Partnership's cable television systems charge late
fees to subscribers who do not pay their cable bills on time. Plaintiffs
generally allege that the late fees charged by such cable television systems are
not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable television systems as
a result of the late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable television
systems to provide compensation for alleged excessive late fee charges for past
periods. These cases are at various stages of the litigation process. Based upon
the facts available, management believes that, although no assurances can be
given as to the outcome of these actions, the ultimate disposition of these
matters should not have a material adverse effect upon the financial condition
or results of operations of the Partnership.

     The Partnership is subject to other various legal proceedings that arise in
the ordinary course of business. While it is impossible to determine with
certainty the ultimate outcome of these matters, it is management's opinion that
the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse affect on the
consolidated financial condition of the Partnership.

N. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS


     On March 22, 1999, the Partnership exchanged its Franklin, Virginia cable
system ("Franklin") servicing 9,182 subscribers for Falcon Cablevision's
Scottsburg Indiana ("Scottsburg") cable system servicing 4,785 subscribers. In
addition, the Partnership received $8 million in cash. In addition, on
March 31, 1999, the Partnership acquired Michigan and Indiana Cable Associates,
Ltd's Portland, Indiana and Americable International--Michigan Inc.'s Fort
Recovery, Ohio cable systems ("Portland") servicing approximately 6,100
subscribers for approximately $10.9 million. The preliminary purchase price was
allocated to the cable television assets acquired in relation to their fair
values as increases in property and equipment of $2.3 million and franchise
costs of $8.6 million. The Partnership will account for the acquisition of the
Scottsburg and Portland systems as purchases.



     Subsequent to December 31, 1998, the Partnership entered into an agreement
with Blackstone Capital Partners III Merchant Fund L.P. ("Blackstone") and a
subsidiary of TCI to acquire their combined 50% interests in InterMedia Capital
Partners VI, L.P. (the "InterMedia VI Partnership"), respectively, for
approximately $335.0 million (inclusive of expenses) subject to adjustment. The
InterMedia VI Partnership was formed in October 1997 by TCI, Blackstone and
Intermedia Partners to acquire and operate contributed cable television systems
servicing approximately 430,000 subscribers in four major markets in Kentucky,
including Louisville, Lexington and Covington. Upon completion of the
acquisition of its 50% interest in the InterMedia VI

Partnership. Accordingly, the Partnership intends to account for the acquisition
of its 50% interest in the InterMedia VI Partnership as a purchase and to
consolidate its operations with those of the Partnership.

     Subject to consummation of the acquisition, the Partnership will be
appointed the manager of the IPVI Partnership and will earn a management fee
equivalent to 3% of the InterMedia VI Partnership's revenues.



     The Partnership is in the process of filing a registration statement with
the SEC for an initial public offering ("IPO") of its common stock. In
connection therewith, upon completion of the IPO, the Partnership will be
reconstituted as a corporation and its Limited Partnership and General
Partnership units will be exchanged for common stock.

To the Partners of
InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P.:

     In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated balance sheet and the related
consolidated statements of income, of partners' capital and of cash flows
present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of InterMedia
Capital Partners VI, L.P. (the Partnership) and its subsidiaries at
December 31, 1998, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for
the period from April 30, 1998 (commencement of operations) to December 31, 1998
in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Partnership's management; our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit. We conducted our audit of these statements in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are
free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis,
evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements,
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We
believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed
above.

1. THE PARTNERSHIP AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     InterMedia Capital Partners VI, L.P. ("ICP-VI"), a Delaware limited
partnership, was formed in October 1997 for the purpose of acquiring and
operating cable television systems located in the state of Kentucky. The
Partnership commenced business on April 30, 1998 upon contribution of cable
television systems serving subscribers throughout western and central Kentucky
(the "Systems") with significant concentrations in the state's four largest
cities: Lexington, Louisville, Covington and Bowling Green. ICP-VI and its
directly and indirectly majority-owned subsidiaries, InterMedia Partners Group
VI, L.P. ("IPG-VI"), InterMedia Partners VI, L.P. ("IP-VI"), and InterMedia
Partners of Kentucky, L.P. ("IP-KY") are collectively referred to as the
"Partnership." Prior to April 30, 1998, the Partnership had no operations.

     On April 30, 1998, the Partnership obtained capital contributions from its
limited and general partners of $202,034, including an in-kind contribution of
the Systems. InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC ("ICM-VI LLC"), a Delaware
limited liability company, is the 0.001% general partner of ICP-VI. The Systems
were contributed by affiliates of Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"), a 49.5%
limited partner of ICP-VI. TCI's 49.5% interest consists of a 49.005% direct
ownership interest issued in exchange for its in-kind contribution (see
Note 3--Contribution of Cable Properties) and an indirect ownership of 0.495%
through its 49.55% limited partner interest in InterMedia Capital Management VI,
L.P. ("ICM-VI LP"), a California limited partnership, which owns a 0.999%
limited partner interest in ICP-VI. Blackstone Cable Acquisition Company, LLC
("Blackstone"), a 49.5% limited partner of ICP-VI, contributed $100,000 in cash.

     As of December 31, 1998, the Partnership served approximately 426,400
subscribers (unaudited) and encompassed approximately 655,200 homes passed
(unaudited).

     The Partnership's contributed cable television systems were structured as
leveraged transactions and a significant portion of the assets contributed are
intangible assets which are being amortized over one to fourteen years.
Therefore, as was planned, the Partnership has incurred substantial book losses.
Of the total net losses of $66,682, non-cash charges have aggregated $88,528.
These charges consist of $35,036 of depreciation of property and equipment and
$53,492 of amortization of intangible assets predominately related to franchise
rights.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Principles of consolidation

     The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of ICP-VI and
its directly and indirectly majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany
accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

  Cash equivalents

     The Partnership considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  Revenue recognition


     Cable television service revenue is recognized in the period in which the
services are provided to customers. Deferred revenue represents revenue billed
in advance and deferred until cable service is provided. Installation fees are
recognized immediately into revenue to the extent of direct selling costs
incurred. Any fees in excess of such costs are deferred and amortized into
income over the period that customers are expected to remain connected to the
cable television system.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  Property and equipment

     Additions to property and equipment, including new customer installations,
are recorded at cost. Self-constructed fixed assets include materials, labor and
overhead. Costs of disconnecting and reconnecting cable service are expensed.
Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred.
Expenditures for major renewals and improvements are capitalized. Capitalized
plant is written down to recoverable values whenever recoverability through
operations or sale of the systems becomes doubtful.

     Depreciation is computed using the double-declining balance method over the
following estimated useful lives:



                                                                      YEARS
                                                                      ------
                                                                   
Cable television plant.............................................    5-10
Buildings and improvements.........................................     10
Furniture and fixtures.............................................    3-7
Equipment and other................................................    3-10


  Intangible assets

     The Partnership has franchise rights to operate cable television systems in
various towns and political subdivisions. Franchise rights are being amortized
over the lesser of the remaining lives of the franchises or the base
fourteen-year term of ICP-VI which expires on April 30, 2012. Remaining
franchise lives range from one to eighteen years.

     The Partnership acquired a long term programming agreement (the
"Programming Agreement"), as described in Note 3--"Contribution of Cable
Properties." The Programming Agreement is valued at $150,000 and is being
amortized on a straight line basis over the fourteen year term of ICP-VI.

     Debt issue costs are included in intangible assets and are being amortized
over the terms of the related debt.

     Costs associated with potential acquisitions are initially deferred. For
acquisitions which are completed, related costs are capitalized as part of the
purchase price of assets acquired. For those acquisitions not completed, related
costs are expensed in the period the acquisition is abandoned.

     Capitalized intangibles are written down to recoverable values whenever
recoverability through operations or sale of the systems becomes doubtful. Each
year, the Partnership evaluates the recoverability of the carrying value of its
intangible assets by assessing whether the projected cash flows, including
projected cash flows from sale of the systems, is sufficient to recover the
unamortized costs of these assets.

  Interest rate swaps

     Under an interest rate swap, the Partnership agrees with another party to
exchange interest payments at specified intervals over a defined term. Interest
payments are calculated by reference to the notional amount based on the
difference between the fixed and variable rates pursuant to the swap agreement.
The net interest received or paid as part of the interest rate swap is accounted
for as an adjustment to interest expense.

  Income taxes

     No provision or benefit for income taxes is reported by the Partnership
because, as partnerships, the tax effects of ICP-VI and its majority-owned
subsidiaries' results of operations accrue to the partners.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  Partners' capital

     Syndication costs incurred to raise capital have been charged to partners'
capital.

  Allocation of profits and losses

     Profits and losses are allocated in accordance with the provisions of
ICP-VI's partnership agreement, dated October 30, 1997, generally as follows:

          Losses are allocated first to the partners to the extent of and in
     accordance with relative capital contributions; second, to the partners
     which loaned money to the Partnership to the extent of and in accordance
     with relative loan amounts; and third, to the partners in accordance with
     relative capital contributions.

          Profits are allocated first to the partners which loaned money to the
     Partnership and to the extent of and proportionate to previously allocated
     losses relating to such loans; second, among the partners in accordance
     with relative capital contributions, in an amount sufficient to yield a
     pre-tax return of 10% per annum on their capital contributions; and third,
     5.3% to the general partner and 14.7% to ICM-VI LP, and 80% to the limited
     and general partners in accordance with relative capital contributions.

  Use of estimates in the preparation of financial statements

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

  Disclosures about fair value of financial instruments

     The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value
of each class of financial instrument for which it is practicable to estimate
the fair value:

          Current assets and current liabilities:  The carrying value of
     receivables, payables, deferred revenue, and accrued liabilities
     approximates fair value due to their short maturity.

          Long-term debt:  The fair value of the Partnership's borrowings under
     the bank term loans and revolving credit facility are estimated based on
     the borrowing rates currently available to the Partnership for obligations
     with similar terms.

          Interest rate swaps:  The estimated fair value of the interest rate
     swaps is based on the current value in the market for agreements with
     similar terms and adjusted for the holding period.

  New accounting pronouncements

     In June 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 130, Reporting Comprehensive
Income (FAS 130), which establishes standards for reporting and disclosure of
comprehensive income and its components. FAS 130 is effective for fiscal years
beginning after December 15, 1997 and requires reclassification of financial
statements for earlier periods to be provided for comparative purposes. The
Partnership's total comprehensive loss for all periods presented herein did not
differ from those amounts reported as net loss in the consolidated statement of
operations.

     In June 1998, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities (FAS 133).
FAS 133 is effective for all quarters of all fiscal years

                                      F-52

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

beginning after June 15, 1999 (January 1, 2000 for the Partnership). FAS 133
requires that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at
their fair value. Changes in the fair value of derivatives are recorded each
period in current earnings or other comprehensive income, depending on whether a
derivative is designated as part of a hedge transaction and, if it is, the type
of hedge transaction. Management of the Partnership anticipates that, due to its
limited use of derivative instruments, the adoption of FAS 133 will not have a
significant effect on the Partnership's results of operation, financial position
or cash flows.

3. CONTRIBUTION OF CABLE PROPERTIES

     On April 30, 1998, the Partnership borrowed $730,000 under new bank term
loans and a revolving credit facility and received equity contributions from its
partners of $202,034, consisting of $102,034 in cash and $100,000 of in-kind
contributions from TCI and another limited partner of ICP-VI. ICP-VI assumed
debt from TCI of $803,743 and issued a combined 49.5% limited partner interest
to TCI and another limited partner, in exchange for the contributed systems with
a fair market value of $753,743 and a long-term programming fee discount
agreement valued at $150,000. The TCI debt assumed was repaid with proceeds from
the borrowings under the bank loans and the cash contributions received from
ICP-VI's partners.

     The total cost of the Systems contributed was as follows:

                                                                 $907,372
                                                                 --------
                                                                 --------


     The Partnership's allocation of costs related to the contributed systems is
as follows:

     The Partnership's bank debt is outstanding under a revolving credit
facility and term loan agreements executed by the Partnership on April 30, 1998
(the "Bank Facility"). The revolving credit facility currently provides for
$325,000 of available credit. Starting June 30, 2001, revolving credit facility
commitments will be permanently reduced quarterly by increments ranging from
$7,500 to $40,000 through maturity on October 31, 2006. The senior Term Loan A
requires quarterly principal payments of $250 starting June 30, 2001 with final
payments in two equal installments of $47,125 on March 31 and September 30,
2007. The senior Term Loan B requires quarterly principal payments of $625
starting June 30, 2001 with final payments in two equal installments of $117,188
on September 30 and December 31, 2007. The subordinated Term Loan A requires
quarterly principal payments of $313 starting June 30, 2001 with final payments
in two equal installments of $58,281 on January 31 and April 30, 2008.


     Total borrowings outstanding under the subordinated Term Loan B are due and
payable on May 31, 1999. The Partnership plans to extend the maturity date to
early 2000 and renegotiate the terms of the subordinated Term Loan B. The
renegotiations are expected to result in higher interest rates on the loan.
Under the ICP-VI Partnership agreement, if the Partnership is not able to
successfully extend the maturity date or refinance the debt, TCI and Blackstone
are obligated to make additional capital contributions in an amount equal to the
borrowings under the subordinated Term Loan B. Accordingly, the subordinated
Term Loan B has been classified as a long-term debt.


     Advances under the Bank Facility are available under interest rate options
related to the base rate of the administrative agent for the Bank Facility
("ABR") or LIBOR. Interest rates vary on borrowings under the revolving credit
facility from LIBOR plus 0.500% to LIBOR plus 1.875% or ABR to ABR plus 0.875%
based on the Partnership's ratio of senior debt to annualized semi-annual cash
flow, as defined ("Senior Leverage Ratio"). Interest rates vary on borrowings
under the senior Term Loan A from LIBOR plus 1.500% to LIBOR plus 2.125% or ABR
plus 0.500% to ABR plus 1.125%, and under the senior Term Loan B from LIBOR plus
1.750% to LIBOR plus 2.250% or ABR plus 0.750% to ABR plus 1.250% based on the
Partnership's Senior Leverage Ratio. Interest rates on borrowings under the
subordinated Term Loan A are at LIBOR plus 2.75% or ABR plus 2.75%, and under
the subordinated Term Loan B are at LIBOR plus 0.300% or ABR plus 0.300%. The
Bank Facility requires quarterly interest payments, or more frequent interest
payments if a shorter period is selected

8. LONG-TERM DEBT--(CONTINUED)

under the LIBOR option, and quarterly payment of fees on the unused portion of
the revolving credit facility and the subordinated Term Loan B at 0.375% per
annum when the Senior Leverage Ratio is greater than 5.0:1.0 and at 0.250% when
the Senior Leverage Ratio is less than or equal to 5.0:1.0.

     The Partnership has entered into interest rate swap agreements in the
aggregate notional principal amount of $500,000 to establish long-term fixed
interest rates on its variable rate debt. Under the swap agreements, the
Partnership pays quarterly interest at fixed rates ranging from 5.850% to 5.865%
and receives quarterly interest payments equal to LIBOR. The agreements expire
July 2003. At December 31, 1998, the fair market value of the interest rate
swaps was approximately $(14,493).

     Borrowings under the Bank Facility, excluding the subordinated Term Loan B,
("Permanent Debt") are secured by the partnership interests of IPG-VI and
IP-VI's subsidiaries and negative pledges of the stock and assets of certain TCI
subsidiaries that are parties to an agreement ("Keepwell Agreement") to support
the Permanent Debt. Under the Keepwell Agreement, the TCI subsidiaries are
required to make loans to IPG-VI and IP-VI in an amount not to exceed $489,500
if (i) IPG-VI or IP-VI fails to make payment of principal in accordance with the
respective debt agreements, or (ii) amounts due under the respective debt
agreements have been accelerated for non-payment or bankruptcy. The subordinated
Bank Term Loan B is secured by guarantees of TCI and Blackstone.

     The debt agreements contain certain covenants which restrict the
Partnership's ability to encumber assets, make investments or distributions,
retire partnership interests, pay management fees currently, incur or guarantee
additional indebtedness and purchase or sell assets. The debt agreements also
include financial covenants which require minimum interest and debt coverage
ratios and specify maximum debt to cash flows ratios.

     Annual maturities of long-term debt at December 31, 1998 are as follows:

                                                                 --------
                                                                 --------


     Borrowings under the Bank Facility are at rates that would be otherwise
currently available to the Partnership. Accordingly, the carrying amounts of
bank borrowings outstanding as of December 31, 1998, approximate their fair
value.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     ICM-VI LP provides certain management and administrative services to the
Partnership for a per annum fee of 1% of ICP-VI's total non-preferred partner
contributions ("ICM Management Fee") offset by certain expenses of the
Partnership, as defined, up to an amount equal to $500. In order to support the
Partnership's debt, 50% of the net ICM Management Fee is deferred until the
Partnership's Senior Leverage Ratio is less than five times. The remaining 50%
of the net ICM Management Fee is payable quarterly in advance. Any deferred ICM
Management Fee bears interest at 10%, compounded annually, payable upon payment
of the deferred management fee.

     Based on current capital contributions, the management fee per annum is
$2,020 less partnership expenses of $500.

9. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS--(CONTINUED)

     Pursuant to ICP-VI's partnership agreement, on April 30, 1998 the
Partnership prepaid $1,000 of the ICM Management Fee. ICM Management Fee expense
for the period ended December 31, 1998 amounted to $1,013. At December 31, 1998,
the Partnership has a non-current payable to ICM-VI LP of $13.

     In connection with raising its capital, the Partnership paid transaction
fees of $4,942 to both TCI and Blackstone on April 30, 1998. The amount has been
recorded as syndication costs.

     InterMedia Management, Inc. ("IMI") is the sole member of ICM-VI LLC. IMI
has entered into an agreement with the Partnership to provide accounting and
administrative services at cost. IMI also provides such services to other cable
systems which are affiliates of the Partnership. Administrative fees charged by
IMI for the period ended December 31, 1998 were $2,495. Receivable from
affiliate includes $628 of advances to IMI, net of administrative fees charged
by IMI, and operating expenses paid by IMI on behalf of the Partnership.

     The Partnership pays monitoring fees of $250 per annum to each of TCI and
Blackstone. 50% of the monitoring fees are deferred until the Partnership's
Senior Leverage Ratio is less than five times in order to support the
Partnership's debt. The remaining 50% is payable quarterly in advance. Any
deferred monitoring fees bear interest at 10%, compounded annually, payable upon
payment of the deferred monitoring fees.

     Pursuant to ICP-VI's partnership agreement, on April 30, 1998, the
Partnership prepaid its monitoring fees for the period from April 30, 1999
through April 29, 2000. The Partnership recorded monitoring fee expense of $333
for the period from April 30, 1998 through December 31, 1998 and has a
non-current payable of $83 each to TCI and Blackstone at December 31, 1998.

     As an affiliate of TCI, the Partnership is able to purchase programming
services from a subsidiary of TCI. Management believes that the overall
programming rates made available through this relationship are lower than the
Partnership could obtain separately. Such volume rates may not continue to be
available in the future should TCI's ownership in the Partnership significantly
decrease. Programming fees charged by the TCI subsidiary for the period ended
December 31, 1998 amounted to $22,183. Payable to affiliates includes
programming fees payable to the TCI subsidiary of $2,913 at December 31, 1998.

     The Partnership entered into an agreement with an affiliate of TCI to
manage the Partnership's advertising business and related services for an annual
fixed fee per advertising sales subscriber, as defined by the agreement. In
addition to the annual fixed fee, TCI will be entitled to varying percentage
shares of the incremental growth in annual cash flow from advertising sales
above specified targets. Management fees charged by the TCI subsidiary for the
period ended December 31, 1998 amounted to $563. Receivable from affiliates at
December 31, 1998 includes $6,904 of receivables from TCI for advertising sales.

10. CABLE TELEVISION REGULATION

     Cable television legislation and regulatory proposals under consideration
from time to time by Congress and various federal agencies have in the past, and
may in the future, materially affect the Partnership and the cable television
industry.

     The cable industry is currently regulated at the federal and local levels
under the Cable Act of 1984, the Cable Act of 1992 (the "1992 Act"), the
Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act") and regulations issued by the
Federal Communications Commission ("FCC") in response to the 1992 Act. FCC
regulations govern the determination of rates charged for basic, expanded basic
and certain ancillary services, and cover a number of other areas including
customer service and technical performance standards, the required transmission
of certain local broadcast stations and the requirement to negotiate
retransmission consent from major network and certain local television stations.
Among other provisions, the 1996 Act will eliminate rate regulation on the
expanded basic tier effective March 31, 1999.

                             (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

10. CABLE TELEVISION REGULATION--(CONTINUED)

     Current regulations issued in connection with the 1992 Act empower the FCC
and/or local franchise authorities to order reductions of existing rates which
exceed the maximum permitted levels and require refunds measured from the date a
complaint is filed in some circumstances or retroactively for up to one year in
other circumstances. Management believes it has made a fair interpretation of
the 1992 Act and related FCC regulations in determining regulated cable
television rates and other fees based on the information currently available.

     Many aspects of regulations at the federal and local levels are currently
the subject of judicial review and administrative proceedings. In addition, the
FCC continues to conduct rulemaking proceedings to implement various provisions
of the 1996 Act. It is not possible at this time to predict the ultimate outcome
of these reviews or proceedings or their effect on the Partnership.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Partnership is committed to provide cable television services under
franchise agreements with remaining terms of up to eighteen years. Franchise
fees of up to 5% of gross revenues are payable under these agreements.

     Current FCC regulations require that cable television operators obtain
permission to retransmit major network and certain local television station
signals. The Partnership has entered into long-term retransmission agreements
with all applicable stations in exchange for in-kind and/or other consideration.

     The Partnership is subject to litigation and other claims in the ordinary
course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate outcome of any
existing litigation or other claims will not have a material adverse effect on
the Partnership's financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

     The Partnership has entered into pole rental agreements and leases certain
of its facilities and equipment under non-cancelable operating leases. Minimum
rental commitments at December 31, 1998 for the next five years and thereafter
under these leases are as follows:

                                                                    ------
                                                                    ------


     Rent expense, including pole rental agreements was $1,003, for the period
ended December 31, 1998.

12. SUPPLEMENTAL DISCLOSURES TO CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS

     During the period from April 30, 1998 through December 31, 1998, the
Partnership paid interest of $32,465.

     As described in Note 3 (Contribution of Cable Properties), on April 30,
1998 the Partnership received, from TCI and another limited partner, in-kind
contributions of cable television systems located in Kentucky. In connection
with the contribution, the Partnership repaid debt assumed of $803,743 and
incurred fees of $3,629.

13. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN

     The Partnership participates in the InterMedia Partners Tax Deferred
Savings Plan, which covers all full-time employees who have completed at least
six months of employment. Such Plan provides for a base employee contribution of
1% and a maximum of 15% of compensation. The Partnership's matching
contributions under such Plan are at the rate of 50% of the employee's
contributions, up to a maximum of 5% of compensation.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

     On February 1, 1999, the Partnership exchanged with Insight Communications
of Indiana, LLC its cable television assets located in and around Henderson,
Kentucky for cable television assets located in and around Oldham County,
Kentucky plus $4,000, subject to adjustments. The exchange is expected to result
in a gain.

     On February 17, 1999 and March 11, 1999, the Partnership entered into
agreements with FrontierVision to exchange its cable television assets located
in and around Danville, Kentucky for cable television assets located in and
around Boone County, Kentucky plus $11,689, subject to adjustments. The
exchanges are expected to result in a gain.

     On March 8, 1999, the Partnership's general and limited partners, except
for TCI, entered into a letter of intent with Insight Communications Company,
L.P. to sell their partnership interests in ICP-VI. The sale is expected to
close during the third quarter of 1999. Upon the sale, Insight Communications
Company L.P. is expected to manage the Partnership.

15. EVENTS SUBSEQUENT TO THE REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS (UNAUDITED)

     On April 18, 1999, the Partnership's general and limited partners, except
for TCI, entered into an agreement with Insight Communications Company, L.P. for
the sale of their partnership interests in ICP-VI.

     On April 30, 1999 the Partnership was named as an additional defendant in a
purported class action which was originally filed in January 1998 against TCI
and certain of its affiliates in the State of Kentucky concerning late fee
charges and practices. Certain cable systems owned by the Partnership charge
late fees to customers who do not pay their cable bills on time. These late fee
cases challenge the amount of the late fees and the practices under which they
are imposed. The Plaintiffs raise claims under state consumer protection
statutes, other state statutes, and common law. Plaintiffs generally allege that
the late fees charged by the Partnership's cable systems in the State of
Kentucky are not reasonably related to the costs incurred by the cable systems
as a result of late payment. Plaintiffs seek to require cable systems to reduce
their late fees on a prospective basis and to provide compensation for alleged
excessive late fee charges for past periods. Based upon the facts available
management believes that, although no assurances can be given as to the outcome
of these actions, the ultimate disposition of these matters should not have a
material adverse effect upon the financial condition of the Partnership.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors:
Tele-Communications, Inc.:

     We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the TCI IPVI
Systems (as defined in Note 1 to the combined financial statements) as of
April 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the related combined statements of
operations and parent's investment (deficit), and cash flows for the four-month
period ended April 30, 1998 and for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 1997. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

     We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

     In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the TCI IPVI Systems
as of April 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of their operations
and their cash flows for the four-month period ended April 30, 1998 and for each
of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1997, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                                TCI IPVI SYSTEMS
            (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

           FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 TO APRIL 30, 1998, AND
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The combined financial statements include the accounts of eight of TCI's
cable television systems and five related advertising sales offices serving
certain subscribers within Kentucky (collectively, the "TCI IPVI Systems"). This
combination was created in connection with the Partnership formation discussed
below. Through February 1998, the TCI IPVI Systems were either 100%-owned or
majority-owned by TCI. In March 1998, through a series of transactions, TCI
acquired the remaining interest in the majority-owned entities from a third
party. As a result of these transactions, the TCI IPVI Systems' combined
financial statements include a March 1998 allocation of TCI's cost to acquire
such interest. Such allocation resulted in $69,646,000 of franchise costs and
$26,640,000 of deferred tax liabilities. All significant inter-entity accounts
and transactions have been eliminated in combination. The combined net assets of
TCI IPVI Systems are referred to as "Parent's Investment (Deficit)."

     TCI's ownership interest in the IPVI Systems, as described above, were
acquired through transactions whereby TCI acquired various larger cable entities
(the "Original Systems"). The TCI IPVI System's combined financial statements
include an allocation of certain purchase accounting adjustments, including the
related deferred tax effects, from TCI's acquisition of the Original Systems.
Such allocation and the related franchise cost amortization was based on the
relative fair market value of the systems involved. In addition, certain costs
of TCI are charged to the TCI IPVI Systems based on their number of customers
(see note 5). Although such allocations are not necessarily indicative of the
costs that would have been incurred by the TCI IPVI Systems on a stand alone
basis, management believes that the resulting allocated amounts are reasonable.

  Partnership Formation

     Effective April 30, 1998, TCI and InterMedia Capital Management VI, L.P.
("InterMedia") executed a transaction under a Contribution Agreement, whereby
TCI contributed certain cable television systems and advertising sales offices,
the TCI IPVI Systems, to a newly formed partnership between TCI, Blackstone
Cable Acquisition Company, LLC, and InterMedia Capital Management VI, LLC (the
"Partnership") in exchange for an approximate 49.5% ownership interest in the
Partnership. TCI's 49.5% interest consists of a 49.005% direct ownership
interest issued in exchange for its contribution and an indirect ownership of
 .495% through its 49.55% limited partner interest in InterMedia. In connection
with the contribution, the Partnership assumed $322.5 million of bank debt and
$489.5 million of intercompany interest bearing notes owed by the TCI IPVI
Systems to TCI and its affiliates. These amounts were subsequently paid by the
Partnership, net of certain post close adjustments. The accompanying combined
financial statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and
cash flows of the TCI IPVI Systems immediately prior to the contribution
transaction, and, therefore, do not include the effects of such transactions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Receivables

     Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such
allowance at April 30, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was not significant.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment is stated at cost, including acquisition costs
allocated to tangible assets acquired. Construction costs, labor and applicable
overhead related to installations, and interest during construction are
capitalized. During the four-month period ended April 30, 1998 and for the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, interest capitalized was not significant.

           (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

           FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 TO APRIL 30, 1998, AND
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using estimated useful
lives of 3 to 15 years for distribution systems and 3 to 40 years for support
equipment and buildings.

     Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations, and renewals and
additions are capitalized. At the time of ordinary retirements, sales or other
dispositions of property, the original cost and cost of removal of such property
are charged to accumulated depreciation, and salvage, if any, is credited
thereto. Gains or losses are only recognized in connection with the sales of
properties in their entirety.

  Intangible Assets

     Intangible assets are comprised of franchise costs that represent the
difference between the cost of acquiring cable television systems and amounts
assigned to their tangible assets. Such amounts are generally amortized on a
straight-line basis over 40 years. Costs incurred by the TCI IPVI Systems in
negotiating and renewing franchise agreements are amortized on a straight-line
basis over the life of the franchise, generally 10 to 20 years.

  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Management periodically reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and
equipment and its intangible assets to determine whether current events or
circumstances warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts. If an impairment
adjustment is deemed necessary, such loss is measured by the amount that the
carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value. Considerable management
judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets, accordingly, actual
results could vary significantly from such estimates. Assets to be disposed of
are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell.

  Revenue Recognition

     Cable revenue for customer fees, equipment rental, advertising,
pay-per-view programming and revenue sharing agreements is recognized in the
period that services are delivered. Installation revenue is recognized in the
period the installation services are provided to the extent of direct selling
costs. Any remaining amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated
average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the cable
television system.

  Combined Statements of Cash Flows

     Transactions effected through the intercompany account with TCI (except for
the Dividend discussed in Note 5) have been considered constructive cash
receipts and payments for purposes of the combined statements of cash flows.

     During 1998, TCI completed a series of transactions to acquire the
remaining interest of the group of entities that own the TCI IPVI Systems. This
transaction resulted in a non cash increase in franchise costs, parent's
investment (deficit), and deferred income tax liability of $69,646,000,
$43,006,000 and $26,640,000, respectively.

  Estimates

     The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

             NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

           FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 TO APRIL 30, 1998, AND
                 FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

3. DEBT TO BANKS

     As described in note 1, the bank debt of the TCI IPVI Systems was paid by
the Partnership subsequent to the contribution of the TCI IPVI Systems to the
Partnership.

     Debt to banks consisted of borrowings under a $340,000,000 unsecured
revolving credit facility. The revolving credit facility's maximum commitment
were scheduled to be gradually reduced in increasing quarterly increments
commencing March 31, 1997 in amounts ranging from 2.50% to 5.75% of the
commitment level at that date through the December 31, 2002 expiration date. The
TCI IPVI Systems were permitted to make prepayments in multiples of $5,000,000
prior to the expiration date.

     This facility provided for interest rates based on either the agent bank's
base rate (the higher of the prime rate or 1/2% above the Federal funds rate),
certificate of deposit-based rate, Eurodollar rate or some combination of the
above, plus an applicable margin, subject to selection by the TCI IPVI Systems.
The applicable margin was determined based on the maintenance of certain
leverage ratios. The interest rate, including the applicable margin, was 6.219%,
at April 30, 1998 and averaged approximately 6.06% during 1998.

     The revolving line of credit facility required an annual commitment fee,
payable quarterly, at the rate of .375% of the average daily amount of the
available commitment.

     The most significant debt covenants of this agreement stipulated that the
TCI IPVI Systems was not to pay cash dividends, may not fall below predetermined
annualized cash flow levels relative to existing debt levels, nor to obtain
additional borrowings or make principal payments on subordinated debt if certain
predetermined cash flow levels relative to debt service were not maintained.
Additionally, the TCI IPVI Systems had agreed to maintain certain defined debt
to cash flow and leverage ratios.

     The minimum mandatory principal repayments required as of April 30, 1998
based upon the current level of indebtedness under the aforementioned facility
were as follows:

                                                                 --------

4. INCOME TAXES


     The TCI IPVI Systems were included in the consolidated federal income tax
return of TCI. Income tax expense for the TCI IPVI Systems is based on those
items in the consolidated calculation applicable to the TCI IPVI Systems.
Intercompany tax allocation represents an apportionment of tax expense or
benefit (other than deferred taxes) among subsidiaries of TCI in relation to
their respective amounts of taxable earnings or losses. The payable or
receivable arising from the intercompany tax allocation is recorded as an
increase or decrease in amounts due to TCI. Deferred income taxes are based on
the book and tax basis differences of the assets and liabilities within the TCI
IPVI Systems. The income tax amounts included in the accompanying combined
financial statements approximate the amounts that would have been reported if
the TCI IPVI Systems would have filed a separate income tax return.

5. PARENT'S INVESTMENT (DEFICIT)

     Parent's investment (deficit) in the TCI IPVI Systems at April 30, 1998 and
December 31, 1997 is summarized as follows:



                                                           DECEMBER 31,    APRIL 30,

Due to TCI..............................................     $260,421      $ 301,496
Accumulated deficit.....................................         (199)      (486,395)
                                                             --------      ---------
                                                             $260,222      $(184,899)
                                                             --------      ---------
                                                             --------      ---------


     The amount due to TCI includes non-interest bearing advances for
operations, acquisitions and construction costs, as well as, the non-interest
bearing amounts owed as a result of the allocation of certain costs from TCI.

     On April 30, 1998, in connection with Partnership formation described
above, TCI caused the TCI IPVI Systems to effect a dividend to TCI aggregating
$489,488,000 (the "Dividend"). The Dividend resulted in an increase to the
interest bearing intercompany notes owed to TCI and a corresponding increase to
accumulated deficit.

     As a result of TCI's controlling ownership of the TCI IPVI Systems, the
non-interest bearing amounts due to TCI have been classified as a component of
Parent's investment (deficit) in the accompanying combined balance sheets.

     The TCI IPVI Systems purchase, at TCI's cost, substantially all of their
pay television and other programming from affiliates of TCI. Charges for such
programming were $14,787,000, $39,288,000, and $37,006,000 for the four-months
ended April 30, 1998 and the years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996,
respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying
combined financial statements.

     Certain subsidiaries of TCI provide administrative services to the TCI IPVI
Systems and have assumed managerial responsibility of the TCI IPVI Systems'
cable television system operations and construction. As compensation for these
services, the TCI IPVI Systems pay a monthly fee calculated on a per-subscriber
basis.

5. PARENT'S INVESTMENT (DEFICIT)--(CONTINUED)

     Prior to February 1, 1997 certain of the TCI IVPI systems were managed by
TKR Cable Company ("TKR"). In accordance with the management agreement, the
systems paid a management fee equal to 3.5% of revenue. Management fees
resulting from this agreement aggregated $4,102,000 in 1996.

     The intercompany advances and expense allocation activity in amounts due to
TCI consists of the following:

6. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the
"1992 Cable Act") imposed certain rate regulations on the cable television
industry. Under that 1992 Cable Act, all cable systems are subject to rate
regulation, unless they face "effective competition," as defined by the 1992
Cable Act and expanded in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),
in their local franchise area.

     Although the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has established
regulations required by the 1992 Cable Act, local government units (commonly
referred to as local franchising authorities) are primarily responsible for
administering the regulation of a cable system's basic service tier ("BST"). The
FCC itself directly administered rate regulation of any cable programming
service tier ("CPST"). The FCC's authority to regulate CPST rates expired on
March 31, 1999. The FCC has taken the position that it will still adjudicate
CPST complaints filed after this sunset date (but not later than 180 days after
the last CPST rate increase imposed prior to March 31, 1999), and will strictly
limit its review (and possible refund orders) to the time period predating the
sunset date.

     Under the FCC's rate regulations, most cable systems were required to
reduce their BST and CPST rates in 1993 and 1994, and have since had their rate
increases governed by a complicated price structure that allows for the recovery
of inflation and certain increased costs, as well as providing some incentive
for expanding channel carriage. Operators also have the opportunity to bypass
this "benchmark" regulatory structure in favor of the traditional
"cost-of-service" regulation in cases where the latter methodology appears
favorable. Premium cable services offered on a per-channel or per-program basis
remain unregulated, as do affirmatively marketed packages consisting entirely of
new programming product.

     The management of the TCI IPVI Systems believes that it has complied in all
material respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the 1996 Act,
including its rate setting provisions. However, certain franchising authorities
have filed Local Rate Orders challenging the rates of certain of the TCI IPVI
Systems. If, as a result of the review process, a system cannot substantiate its
rates, it could be required to retroactively reduce its rates to the appropriate
benchmark and refund the excess portion of rates received. Any refunds of the
excess portion of CPST rates would be retroactive to the date of complaint. Any
refunds of the excess portion of BST or

equipment rates would be retroactive to one year prior to the implementation of
the rate reductions. TCI has indemnified the Partnership for certain rate refund
liabilities of the TCI IPVI Systems through March 31, 1999.

     Certain plaintiffs have filed or threatened separate class action
complaints against certain of the systems of TCI IPVI Systems, alleging that the
systems' practice of assessing an administrative fee to subscribers whose
payments are delinquent constitutes an invalid liquidated damage provision, a
breach of contract, and violates local consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs
seek recovery of all late fees paid to the subject systems as a class purporting
to consist of all subscribers who were assessed such fees during the applicable
limitation period, plus attorney fees and costs.

     The TCI IPVI Systems have contingent liabilities related to legal
proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
Although it is possible the TCI IPVI Systems may incur losses upon conclusion of
the matters referred to above, an estimate of any loss or range of loss cannot
presently be made. Based upon the facts available, management believes that,
although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these actions, the
ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined
financial condition of the TCI IPVI Systems.

     The TCI IPVI Systems lease business offices, have entered into pole rental
agreements and use certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental expense
under such arrangements amounted to $711,000, $2,441,000 and $1,865,000 in for
the four-month period ended April 30, 1998, and the years ended December 31,
1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases for
each of the next five years are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

     TCI formed a year 2000 Program Management Office (the "PMO") to organize
and manage its year 2000 remediation efforts. The PMO is responsible for
overseeing, coordinating and reporting on TCI's year 2000 remediation efforts,
including the year 2000 remediation efforts of the TCI IPVI Systems prior to the
Contribution. Subsequent to the date of the Contribution, the year 2000
remediation efforts of the TCI IPVI Systems are no longer the responsibility of
TCI or the PMO.

     The failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption or failure of certain important business operations. There can be
no assurance that the TCI IPVI Systems or the systems of other companies on
which the TCI IPVI Systems relies will be converted in time or that any such
failure to convert by the TCI IPVI Systems or other companies will not have a
material adverse effect on it financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

                          INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors:
TCI Communications, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying combined balance sheets of the TCI Insight
Systems (as defined in Note 1 to the combined financial statements) as of
October 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the related combined statements of
operations and parent's investment (deficit), and cash flows for the ten-month
period ended October 31, 1998 and for each of the years in the two-year period
ended December 31, 1997. These combined financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the TCI Insight
Systems as of October 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for the ten-month period ended October 31, 1998
and for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 1997, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

            (A COMBINATION OF CERTAIN ASSETS, AS DEFINED IN NOTE 1)

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

            FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 TO OCTOBER 31, 1998,
               AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The combined financial statements include the accounts of twelve of TCIC's
cable television systems and three related advertising sales offices serving
certain subscribers within Indiana (collectively, the "TCI Insight Systems").
The TCI Insight Systems are wholly-owned by various subsidiaries of TCIC. TCIC
is a subsidiary of Tele-Communications, Inc. ("TCI"). All significant
inter-entity accounts and transactions have been eliminated in combination. The
combined net assets of TCI Insight Systems are referred to as "Parent's
Investment."

     The TCI Insight Systems were acquired through a series of transactions
whereby TCIC acquired various larger cable entities (the "Original Systems").
The TCI Insight System's combined financial statements include an allocation of
certain purchase accounting adjustments, including the related deferred tax
effects, from TCIC's acquisition of the Original Systems. Such allocation and
the related franchise cost amortization is based on the relative fair market
value of systems acquired. In addition, certain costs of TCI are charged to the
TCI Insight Systems based on their number of subscribers (see note 4). Although
such allocations are not necessarily indicative of the costs that would have
been incurred by the TCI Insight Systems on a stand alone basis, management
believes that the resulting allocated amounts are reasonable.

  Limited Liability Company Formation

     Effective October 31, 1998, TCIC and Insight Communications L.P.
("Insight") executed a transaction under a Contribution and Purchase Agreement,
whereby TCIC contributed and exchanged certain cable television systems and
advertising sales offices to a newly formed Limited Liability Company between
TCIC and Insight (the "LLC") in exchange for an approximate 50% ownership
interest in the LLC and certain cable systems. In connection with the
contribution, the LLC assumed $214.6 million of the intercompany interest
bearing notes owed by the TCI Insight Systems to TCIC and its affiliates. These
amounts were subsequently paid by the LLC. The accompanying combined financial
statements reflect the financial position, results of operations and cash flows
of the TCI Insight Systems immediately prior to the contribution and exchange
transactions, and, therefore, do not include the effects of such transactions.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Receivables

     Receivables are reflected net of an allowance for doubtful accounts. Such
allowance at October 31, 1998 and December 31, 1997 was not significant.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment is stated at cost, including acquisition costs
allocated to tangible assets acquired. Construction costs, labor and applicable
overhead related to installations, and interest during construction are
capitalized. During the ten-month period ended October 31, 1998 and for the
years ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, interest capitalized was not
significant.

     Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis using estimated useful
lives of 3 to 15 years for distribution systems and 3 to 40 years for support
equipment and buildings.

     Repairs and maintenance are charged to operations, and renewals and
additions are capitalized. At the time of ordinary retirements, sales or other
dispositions of property, the original cost and cost of removal of such property
are charged to accumulated depreciation, and salvage, if any, is credited
thereto. Gains or losses are only recognized in connection with the sales of
properties in their entirety.

              NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

            FOR THE PERIOD FROM JANUARY 1, 1998 TO OCTOBER 31, 1998,
               AND FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1997 AND 1996

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  Franchise Costs

     Franchise costs include the difference between the cost of acquiring cable
television systems and amounts assigned to their tangible assets. Such amounts
are generally amortized on a straight-line basis over 40 years. Costs incurred
by the TCI Insight Systems in negotiating and renewing franchise agreements are
amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the franchise, generally 10
to 20 years.

  Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

     Management periodically reviews the carrying amounts of property, plant and
equipment and its intangible assets to determine whether current events or
circumstances warrant adjustments to such carrying amounts. If an impairment
adjustment is deemed necessary, such loss is measured by the amount that the
carrying value of such assets exceeds their fair value. Considerable management
judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of assets, accordingly, actual
results could vary significantly from such estimates. Assets to be disposed of
are carried at the lower of their financial statement carrying amount or fair
value less costs to sell.

  Revenue Recognition

     Cable revenue for customer fees, equipment rental, advertising,
pay-per-view programming and revenue sharing agreements is recognized in the
period that services are delivered. Installation revenue is recognized in the
period the installation services are provided to the extent of direct selling
costs. Any remaining amount is deferred and recognized over the estimated
average period that customers are expected to remain connected to the cable
television system.

  Combined Statements of Cash Flows

     Transactions effected through the intercompany account (except for the
dividend discussed in Note 4) with TCIC have been considered constructive cash
receipts and payments for purposes of the combined statements of cash flows.

  Estimates

     The preparation of combined financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at
the date of the combined financial statements and the reported amounts of
revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.

3. INCOME TAXES


     The TCI Insight Systems were included in the consolidated federal income
tax return of TCI. Income tax expense for the TCI Insight Systems is based on
those items in the consolidated calculation applicable to the TCI Insight
Systems. Intercompany tax allocation represents an apportionment of tax expense
or benefit (other than deferred taxes) among subsidiaries of TCI in relation to
their respective amounts of taxable earnings or losses. The payable or
receivable arising from the intercompany tax allocation is recorded as an
increase or decrease in amounts due to TCIC. Deferred income taxes are based on
the book and tax basis differences of the assets and liabilities within the TCI
Insight Systems. The income tax amounts included in the accompanying combined
financial statements approximate the amounts that would have been reported if
the TCI Insight Systems would have filed a separate income tax return.

4. PARENT'S INVESTMENT (DEFICIT)

     Parent's investment (deficit) in the TCI Insight Systems at October 31,
1998 and December 31, 1997 is summarized as follows:



                                                                     DECEMBER 31,    OCTOBER 31,
                                                                        1997            1998
                                                                     ------------    -----------
                                                                       (AMOUNTS IN THOUSANDS)
                                                                               
Due to TCIC.......................................................     $ 93,231       $  77,892
Retained earnings (deficit).......................................       47,857        (163,404)
                                                                       --------       ---------
                                                                       $141,088       $ (85,512)
                                                                       --------       ---------
                                                                       --------       ---------


     The amount due to TCIC includes advances for operations, acquisitions and
construction costs, as well as, the non-interest bearing amounts owed as a
result of the allocation of certain costs from TCIC.

     On September 30, 1998, TCIC caused the TCI Insight Systems to effect a
dividend from the TCI Insight Systems to TCIC aggregating $230,000,000 (the
"Dividend"). The Dividend resulted in an increase to the intercompany notes owed
to TCIC and a corresponding decrease to retained earnings.

     As a result of TCIC's 100% ownership of the TCI Insight Systems, the
non-interest bearing amounts due to TCIC have been classified as a component of
Parent's investment (deficit) in the accompanying combined balance sheets.

     The TCI Insight Systems purchase, at TCIC's cost, substantially all of
their pay television and other programming from affiliates of TCIC. Charges for
such programming were $18,037,000, $18,269,000, and $16,986,000 for the
ten-months ended October 31, 1998 and the years ended December 31, 1997 and
1996, respectively, and are included in operating expenses in the accompanying
combined financial statements.

     Certain subsidiaries of TCIC provide administrative services to the TCI
Insight Systems and have assumed managerial responsibility of the TCI Insight
Systems' cable television system operations and construction. As compensation
for these services, the TCI Insight Systems pay a monthly fee calculated on a
per-subscriber basis.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 (the
"1992 Cable Act") imposed certain rate regulations on the cable television
industry. Under the 1992 Cable Act, all cable systems are subject to rate
regulation, unless they face "effective competition," as defined by the 1992
Cable Act and expanded in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 (the "1996 Act"),
in their local franchise area.

     Although the Federal Communications Commission (the "FCC") has established
regulations required by the 1992 Cable Act, local government units (commonly
referred to as local franchising authorities) are primarily responsible for
administering the regulation of a cable system's basic service tier ("BST"). The
FCC itself directly administered rate regulation of any cable programming
service tier ("CPST"). The FCC's authority to regulate CPST rates expired on
March 31, 1999. The FCC has taken the position that it will still adjudicate
CPST complaints filed after this sunset date (but not later than 180 days after
the last CPST rate increase imposed prior to March 31, 1999), and will strictly
limit its review (and possible refund orders) to the time period predating the
sunset date.

     Under the FCC's rate regulations, most cable systems were required to
reduce their BST and CPST rates in 1993 and 1994, and have since had their rate
increases governed by a complicated price structure that allows for the recovery
of inflation and certain increased costs, as well as providing some incentive
for expanding channel carriage. Operators also have the opportunity to bypass
this "benchmark" regulatory structure in favor of the traditional
"cost-of-service" regulation in cases where the latter methodology appears
favorable. Premium cable services offered on a per-channel or per-program basis
remain unregulated, as do affirmatively marketed packages consisting entirely of
new programming product.

     The management of the TCI Insight Systems believes that it has complied in
all material respects with the provisions of the 1992 Cable Act and the 1996
Act, including its rate setting provisions. If, as a result of the review
process, a system cannot substantiate its rates, it could be required to
retroactively reduce its rates to the appropriate benchmark and refund the
excess portion of rates received. Any refunds of the excess portion of CPST
rates would be retroactive to the date of complaint. Any refunds of the excess
portion of BST or equipment rates would be retroactive to one year prior to the
implementation of the rate reductions.

     Certain plaintiffs have filed or threatened separate class action
complaints against certain of the systems of TCI Insight Systems, alleging that
the systems' practice of assessing an administrative fee to subscribers whose

payments are delinquent constitutes an invalid liquidated damage provision, a
breach of contract, and violates local consumer protection statutes. Plaintiffs
seek recovery of all late fees paid to the subject systems as a class purporting
to consist of all subscribers who were assessed such fees during the applicable
limitation period, plus attorney fees and costs.

     The TCI Insight Systems have contingent liabilities related to legal
proceedings and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business.
Although it is possible the TCI Insight Systems may incur losses upon conclusion
of the matters referred to above, an estimate of any loss or range of loss
cannot presently be made. Based upon the facts available, management believes
that, although no assurance can be given as to the outcome of these actions, the
ultimate disposition should not have a material adverse effect upon the combined
financial condition of the TCI Insight Systems.

     The TCI Insight Systems lease business offices, have entered into pole
rental agreements and use certain equipment under lease arrangements. Rental
expense under such arrangements amounted to $1,142,000, $1,557,000 and
$1,231,000 in for the ten-month period ended October 31, 1998, and the years
ended December 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Future minimum lease payments under noncancellable operating leases for
each of the next five years are summarized as follows (amounts in thousands):

     TCI formed a year 2000 Program Management Office (the "PMO") to organize
and manage its year 2000 remediation efforts. The PMO is responsible for
overseeing, coordinating and reporting on TCIC's year 2000 remediation efforts,
including the year 2000 remediation efforts of the TCI Insight Systems prior to
the Contribution. Subsequent to the date of the Contribution, the year 2000
remediation efforts of the TCI Insight Systems are no longer the responsibility
of TCI, TCIC or the PMO.

     The failure to correct a material year 2000 problem could result in an
interruption or failure of certain important business operations. There can be
no assurance that the TCI Insight Systems or the systems of other companies on
which the TCI Insight Systems relies will be converted in time or that any such
failure to convert by the TCI Insight Systems or other companies will not have a
material adverse effect on it financial position, results of operations or cash
flows.

                  INSIGHT COMMUNICATIONS OF CENTRAL OHIO, LLC

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE


     Insight Communications of Central Ohio, LLC ("Insight Ohio" or the
"Company") was formed on July 23, 1998 in order to acquire all of the assets and
liabilities comprising the cable television system of Coaxial Communications of
Central Ohio, Inc. ("Coaxial"). On August 21, 1998, Coaxial contributed to
Insight Ohio all of the assets and liabilities comprising Coaxial's cable
television systems for which Coaxial received a 25% non-voting common membership
interest in Insight Ohio as well as 100% of the voting preferred membership
interests of Insight Ohio ("Series A and Series B Preferred Interests"). In
conjunction therewith, Insight Holdings of Ohio, LLC ("IHO") contributed
$10 million in cash to Insight Ohio for which it received a 75% non-voting
common membership interest in Insight Ohio. The accompanying financial
statements include the operations of the cable television systems contributed by
Coaxial to Insight Ohio, as if the aforementioned contribution had occurred as
of January 1, 1998 (the beginning of the year). The amounts included in the
accompanying financial statements for periods prior to August 21, 1998 represent
the operations of the cable system operating unit (the "Operating Unit" and
predecessor to Insight Ohio), which, prior to such date, was an operating unit
within Coaxial. The amounts included in the accompanying financial statements
for the Operating Unit include only those assets, liabilities, revenues, and
expenses related to the cable television system contributed to Insight Ohio.
Prior to the Contribution of the Operating unit to Insight Ohio, the company had
nominal assets and no operations. Since the aforementioned contribution of the
Operating Unit to Insight Ohio did not result in a change in voting control,
pursuant to interpretation No. 39 to APB opinion No. 16, Insight Ohio has
accounted for the contributed assets and liabilites at historical cost. Insight
Ohio provides basic and expanded cable services to homes in Columbus, Ohio and
surrounding areas.



     On August 21, 1998, Coaxial and Phoenix Associates, a related entity,
issued $140 million of 10% Senior Notes ("Senior Notes") due in 2006. The Senior
Notes are non-recourse and are secured by all of the issued and outstanding
Series A Preferred Interest in Insight Ohio and are conditionally guaranteed by
Insight Ohio. On August 21, 1998, Coaxial Financing Corp. and Coaxial LLC,
related entities, issued 12 7/8% Senior Discount Notes due 2008 ("Discount
Notes"). The Discount Notes have a face amount of $55,869,000 and approximately
$30 million of gross proceeds were received upon issuance. The Series A
Preferred interest and Series B Preferred interest have face values of
$140 million and $30 million and pay dividends at rates of 10% and 12 7/8% of
their face value, respectively. The Discount Notes are non-recourse, secured by
100% of the common stock of Coaxial, and conditionally guaranteed by Insight
Ohio. At December 31, 1998, the accompanying financial statements include an
accrual of $6,649,000 of earned, but unpaid dividends on the Series A and
Series B Preferred interests.


     As a result of the transaction described above, Insight Ohio incurred
severance costs and transaction structure costs of approximately $4,822,000
which have been reflected in the accompanying statements of operations.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Cash

     Insight Ohio considers all highly liquid investments with original
maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

  Use of Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  Fair Values

     In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments", which requires disclosure of fair value information
about both on and off balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of current assets and
liabilities approximate their fair market value because of the immediate or
short term maturity of these financial instruments.

  Revenue Recognition


     Service fees are recorded in the month cable television and pay television
services are provided to subscribers. Connection fees are charges for the
hook-up of new customers and are recognized as current revenues to the extent of
direct selling costs incurred. Any fees in excess of such costs are deferred and
amortized to income over the estimated average period that subscribers are
expected to remain connected to the system. Subscriber advance billings are
netted within accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements.
Collections on subscriber advance billings at December 31, 1998 were not
significant.


  Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject Insight Ohio to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
Insight Ohio's customer base consists of a number of homes concentrated in the
central Ohio area. Insight Ohio continually monitors the exposure for credit
losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. As of December 31, 1998,
Insight Ohio had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost, while maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance
sheet, and any gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:


                                                         
                                                                10 to
CATV systems.............................................     15 years
Equipment................................................      5 years
Furniture................................................      5 years
Leasehold improvements...................................   Life of lease


     Assets held under capital leases at December 31, 1998 were approximately
$228,000.

     Insight Ohio internally constructs certain CATV systems. Construction costs
capitalized include payroll, fringe benefits and other overhead costs associated
with construction activity.

     Insight Ohio reviews its property, plant and equipment and other long term
assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amounts may
not be recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates the future
cash flows from operations or disposition. If the estimated undiscounted future
cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an adjustment to
reduce the carrying amount would be recorded, and an impairment loss would be
recognized. Insight Ohio does not believe that there is an impairment of such
assets.

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  Franchise Costs

     Franchise costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the lives
of the related franchises which range from 7 to 15 years.

  Home Office Expenses

     Home office expenses of approximately $1,373,000 in 1998 (included in
selling and administrative expenses) include billings for legal fees, management
fees, salaries, travel and other management expenses for services provided by an
affiliated services company. Effective August 21, 1998, IHO provides such
services for which it earns a fee (see note 6).

  Advertising Costs

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense, primarily
for campaign and telemarketing-related efforts, was approximately $2,152,000 in
1998.

  Recent Accounting Pronouncements

     In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS
No. 133, "Accounting for Derivatives Instruments and Hedging Activities" ("SFAS
No. 133"). SFAS No. 133 establishes accounting and reporting standards for
derivative instruments, including certain derivative instruments embedded in
other contracts and for hedging activities. It requires that an entity recognize
all derivatives as either assets or liabilities in the balance sheet and measure
those instruments at fair value. SFAS No. 133 is effective for all fiscal years
beginning after June 15, 1999. Insight Ohio does not anticipate the adoption of
this Statement to have a material impact on its financial statements.

3. INCOME TAXES

     Effective August 21, 1998, Insight Ohio is a limited liability corporation.
Therefore, each member reports his distributive share of income or loss on his
respective income tax returns. Prior to August 21, 1998, the Operating Unit was
an operating unit within Coaxial, which in turn was a Subchapter S Corporation.
Therefore, each shareholder reported his distributive share of income or loss on
his respective income tax return. As a result, Insight Ohio does not provide for
Federal or State income taxes in its accounts. In the event that the limited
liability corporation election is terminated, deferred taxes related to book and
tax temporary differences would be required to be reflected in the financial
statements. As a limited liability company, the liability of Insight Ohio's
members are limited to their respective investments.

4. 401(k) PLAN

     Insight Ohio sponsors a 401(k) Plan (the "Plan") for the benefit of its
employees. All employees who have completed six months of employment and have
attained the age of 21 are eligible to participate in the Plan. Insight Ohio
makes matching contributions equal to a portion of the employee's wages. Insight
Ohio contributions to the Plan approximated $145,000 in 1998.

5. CREDIT FACILITY

     Insight Ohio has a Senior Credit Facility ("Senior Credit Facility") with a
group of banks and other financial institutions. The Senior Credit Facility
provides for revolving credit loans of $25 million to finance capital
expenditures and for working capital and general purposes, including the upgrade
of the System's cable plant and for the introduction of new video services. The
Senior Credit Facility has a six-year maturity, with reductions to the amount of
the commitment commencing after three years. The amount available for borrowing

                               DECEMBER 31, 1998

5. CREDIT FACILITY--(CONTINUED)

is reduced by any outstanding letter of credit obligations. Insight Ohio's
obligations under the Senior Credit Facility are secured by substantially all
the tangible and intangible assets of Insight Ohio. Loans under the Senior
Credit Facility bear interest, at Insight Ohio's option, at the prime rate or at
a Eurodollar rate. In addition to the index rates, Insight Ohio pays an
additional margin percentage tied to its ratio of total debt to adjusted
annualized operating cash flow.


     The Senior Credit Facility contains a number of covenants that, among other
things, restricts the ability of Insight Ohio and its subsidiaries to make
capital expenditures, dispose of assets, incur additional indebtedness, incur
guaranty obligations, pay dividends or make capital distributions, including
distributions on the Preferred Interests that are required to pay the Senior
Notes and the Discount Notes in the event of a payment default under the Senior
Credit Facility, create liens on assets, make investments, make acquisitions,
engage in mergers or consolidations, engage in certain transactions with
subsidiaries and affiliates and otherwise restrict certain activities. As of
December 31, 1998, no amounts were outstanding under the Senior Credit Facility.


6. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Effective August 21, 1998, the Company entered into a management agreement
with IHO, which allows IHO to manage the operations of Insight Ohio. IHO earns a
management fee equivalent to 3% of Insight Ohio's gross operating revenues. Fees
under this management agreement aggregated $493,000 for the period from
August 21 through December 31, 1998.

     Insight Ohio has a receivable from and payable to related parties as of
December 31, 1998 of approximately $149,000 and $1,029,000, respectively,
relating to working capital requirements.

     Insight Ohio pays rent to a partnership owned by Coaxial's shareholders for
two facilities. Total charges for rent were approximately $63,000 in 1998.

7. OPERATING LEASE AGREEMENTS

     Insight Ohio leases land for tower locations, office equipment, office
space, vehicles and the use of utility poles under various operating lease
agreements. Rental expense for all operating leases was approximately $106,000
in 1998. These amounts exclude year-to-year utility pole leases of $191,000
which provide for payments based on the number of poles used.

     Minimum rental commitments required under non-cancelable operating leases
are as follows:

                                                                  -------

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

not have a significant adverse effect on either Insight Ohio's future results of
operations or financial position.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

To the Shareholders of
Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc.:

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets to be contributed of
Central Ohio Cable System Operating Unit as of December 31, 1997 and the related
statements of operations and cash flows relating to the net assets to be
contributed for each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 1997.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based
on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

The accompanying financial statements of net assets to be contributed were
prepared to present the net assets of Central Ohio Cable System Operating Unit
to be contributed to a newly formed company pursuant to the Contribution
Agreement described in Note 10, and is not intended to be a complete
presentation of Central Ohio Cable System Operating Unit.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets to be contributed of Central Ohio Cable
System Operating Unit as described in Note 10, as of December 31, 1997, and the
results of its operations and cash flows for each of the two years in the period
ended December 31, 1997 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                    CENTRAL OHIO CABLE SYSTEM OPERATING UNIT

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

1. BUSINESS ORGANIZATION AND PURPOSE

     Central Ohio Cable System Operating Unit (the Operating Unit or the
System), an operating unit within Coaxial Communications of Central Ohio, Inc.
(Coaxial), operates a cable television system which provides basic and expanded
cable services to homes in Columbus, Ohio and surrounding areas. The Operating
Unit's financial statements include only those assets, liabilities, revenues and
expenses directly related to the cable television system to be contributed (see
Note 10).

     All costs pertaining to the Operating Unit are specifically identifiable
and are included in the Operating Unit's financial statements. No allocation of
costs is necessary.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  Cash

     The Operating Unit considers all highly liquid investments purchased with
original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

  Estimates

     The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

  Fair Values

     In December 1991, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards No. 107, "Disclosures about Fair Value of
Financial Instruments," which requires disclosure of fair value information
about both on- and off-balance sheet financial instruments for which it is
practicable to estimate that value. The carrying amounts of current assets and
liabilities approximate their fair market value because of the immediate or
short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

  Operating Revenue Recognition


     Service fees are recorded in the month cable television and pay television
services are provided to subscribers. Connection fees are charges for the
hook-up of new customers and are recognized as current revenues to the extent of
direct selling costs incurred. Any fees in excess of such costs are deferred and
amortized to income over the estimated average period that subscribers are
expected to remain connected to the system. Subscriber advance billings are
netted within accounts receivable in the accompanying financial statements.
Collections on subscriber advance billings at December 31, 1997 were not
significant.


  Concentration of Credit Risk

     Financial instruments that potentially subject the Operating Unit to
concentrations of credit risk consist principally of trade accounts receivable.
The Operating Unit's customer base consists of a number of homes concentrated in
the central Ohio area. The Operating Unit continually monitors the exposure for
credit losses and maintains allowances for anticipated losses. As of December
31, 1997, the Operating Unit had no significant concentrations of credit risk.

                   NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS--(CONTINUED)

                               DECEMBER 31, 1997

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

  Property and Equipment

     Property and equipment are stated at cost, while maintenance and repairs
are expensed as incurred. Upon retirement or disposal of assets, the cost and
related accumulated depreciation and amortization are removed from the balance
sheet, and any gain or loss is reflected in earnings. Depreciation and
amortization are provided using the straight-line method over the estimated
useful lives of the related assets as follows:



                                                                                                YEARS
                                                                                            -------------
                                                                                         
CATV systems.............................................................................        10 to 15
Equipment................................................................................               5
Furniture................................................................................               5
Leasehold improvements...................................................................   Life of lease


     The Operating Unit internally constructs certain CATV systems. Construction
costs capitalized include payroll, fringe benefits and other overhead costs
associated with construction activity.

     The Operating Unit reviews its property, plant and equipment and other long
term assets when events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying
amounts may not be recoverable. When such conditions exist, management estimates
the future cash flows from operations or disposition. If the estimated
undiscounted future cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset,
an adjustment to reduce the carrying amount would be recorded, and an impairment
loss would be recognized. The Operating Unit does not believe that there is an
impairment of such assets.

  Intangible Assets

     Intangible assets are amortized using the straight-line method over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as follows:



                                                                                                  YEARS
                                                                                                 -------
                                                                                              
Franchise rights..............................................................................   7 to 15


  Home Office Expenses

     Home office expenses of approximately $1,697,000 and $1,498,000 in 1996 and
1997 (included in selling and administrative expenses) include billings for
legal fees, management fees, salaries, travel and other management expenses for
services provided by an affiliated services company.

  Advertising Costs

     Advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expense primarily
for campaign and telemarketing-related efforts was approximately $1,060,000 and
$1,025,000 in 1996 and 1997, respectively.

  Change in Net Assets

     The components of the change in net assets are as follows:



                                                                               1996           1997
                                                                            -----------    -----------

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--(CONTINUED)

     Advances, loans and repayments by Coaxial represent cash generated by the
Operating Unit that was used by Coaxial primarily for lending to related parties
and paying of notes payable. The advances, loans and repayments consist of the
following:



                                                                               1996            1997
                                                                           ------------    ------------

                                                                           ------------    ------------
                                                                           $(15,793,342)   $(13,967,020)
                                                                           ------------    ------------
                                                                           ------------    ------------


3. INCOME TAXES

     The Operating Unit is an operating unit within Coaxial, which is a
Subchapter S corporation. Therefore, each shareholder reports his distributive
share of income or loss on his respective income tax returns. As a result, the
Operating Unit does not provide for Federal or state income taxes in its
accounts.

4. THRIFT PLAN

     The Operating Unit participates in an employer sponsored Thrift Plan (the
Plan) for employees having at least one full year of service. Employees can
contribute up to 6% of their salary to the Plan which is matched 50% by the
Operating Unit. Employees can also contribute an additional 1% to 10% which is
not matched by the Operating Unit. Employees become fully vested in matching
contributions after 5 years. There is no partial vesting. The Operating Unit's
contributed approximately $111,000 and $133,000 to the Plan in 1996 and 1997,
respectively.

5. WORKERS' COMPENSATION RESERVES

     The Operating Unit is partially self-insured for workers' compensation
benefits. The amounts charged to expense for workers' compensation were
approximately $110,200 and $89,200 for 1996 and 1997, respectively, and were
based on actual and estimated claims incurred. The liability for workers'

9. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     The Operating Unit is party in or may be affected by various matters under
litigation. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of these matters will
not have a significant adverse effect on either the Operating Unit's future
results of operations or financial position.

     Capital expenditures for the Operating Unit for 1998 are expected to be
approximately $5,515,000.

10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On June 30, 1998, Coaxial and Insight Communications Company, L.P.
(Insight) entered into a Contribution Agreement (the Contribution Agreement)
pursuant to which Coaxial will contribute to a newly formed subsidiary (a
limited liability company) of Coaxial (the Operating Company) substantially all
of the assets and liabilities comprising the Operating Unit, and Insight will
contribute $10 million in cash to the Operating Company. As a result of this
Contribution Agreement, Coaxial will own 25% of the non-voting common equity and
Insight will own 75% of the non-voting common equity of the Operating Company,
subject to possible adjustments pursuant to the Contribution Agreement. Coaxial
will also own two separate series of voting preferred equity (a $140 preferred
equity interest and a $30 million preferred equity interest) of the Operating
Company; the voting preferred equity interest will provide for distributions to
Coaxial equal in amount to the payments on the senior and senior discount notes
described below. Insight or an affiliate will serve as the manager of the
Operating Company.

     The closing of the Contribution Agreement is conditioned upon, among other
things, the private placement of $140 million senior notes by Coaxial and
Phoenix Associates (a related entity) and the private placement of $30 million
of senior discount notes by the majority shareholder of Coaxial.

ITEM 14. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and
individuals against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and
amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in
connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or
proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason of such person being
or having been a director, officer, employee of or agent to the Registrant. The
statute provides that it is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking
indemnification may be entitled under any by-law, agreement, vote of
stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Registrant's by-laws
provides for indemnification by the Registrant of any director or officer (as
such term is defined in the by-laws) of the Registrant who is or was a director
of any of its subsidiaries, or, at the request of the Registrant, is or was
serving as a director or officer of, or in any other capacity for, any other
enterprise, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The by-laws also provide
that the Registrant shall advance expenses to a director or officer and, if
reimbursement of such expenses is demanded in advance of the final disposition
of the matter with respect to which such demand is being made, upon receipt of
an undertaking by or on behalf of such director or officer to repay such amount
if it is ultimately determined that the director or officer is not entitled to
be indemnified by the Registrant. To the extent authorized from time to time by
the board of directors of the Registrant, the Registrant may provide to any one
or more employees of the Registrant, one or more officers, employees and other
agents of any subsidiary or one or more directors, officers, employees and other
agents of any other enterprise, rights of indemnification and to receive payment
or reimbursement of expenses, including attorneys' fees, that are similar to the
rights conferred in the by-laws of the Registrant on directors and officers of
the Registrant or any subsidiary or other enterprise. The by-laws do not limit
the power of the Registrant or its board of directors to provide other
indemnification and expense reimbursement rights to directors, officers,
employees, agents and other persons otherwise than pursuant to the by-laws. The
Registrant intends to enter into agreements with certain directors, officers and
employees who are asked to serve in specified capacities at subsidiaries and
other entities.

     Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a
corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of
the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation or its
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director,
except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the
corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for
payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions, or
(iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Registrant's certificate of incorporation provides for such
limitation of liability.

     The Registrant intends to maintain policies of insurance under which its
directors and officers will be insured, within the limits and subject to the
limitations of the policies, against certain expenses in connection with

                                      II-1


the defense of, and certain liabilities which might be imposed as a result of,
actions, suits or proceedings to which they are parties by reason of being or
having been such directors or officers.

     Reference is also made to Section      of the underwriting agreement filed
as Exhibit 1.1 to the registration statement for information concerning the
underwriters' obligation to indemnify the Registrant and its officers and
directors in certain circumstances.


ITEM 15. RECENT SALES OF UNREGISTERED SECURITIES


     The Registrant has not issued any common stock since its formation on
March 9, 1999. Concurrently with the consummation of the offering to which this
registration statement relates, the holders of the general and limited
partnership interests of Insight Communications Company, L.P. will exchange all
of their partnership interests for the Registrant's Class A and Class B common
stock in accordance with a formula based on the initial public offering price of
the Class A common stock being issued pursuant to the offering. The offering and
sale of the shares of common stock will not be registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 because the offering and sale will be made in reliance on the
exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933 and Rule 506
thereunder for transactions by an issuer not involving a public offering (with
the recipients representing their intentions to acquire the securities for their
own accounts and not with a view to the distribution thereof and acknowledging
that the securities will be issued in a transaction not registered under the
Securities Act of 1933).

ITEM 17. UNDERTAKINGS

     The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

          (1) That for purposes of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed
     as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and
     contained in a form of prospectus filed by Registrant pursuant to
     Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to
     be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared
     effective.

          (2) That for the purpose of determining any liability under the
     Securities Act, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of
     prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to
     the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that
     time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


          (3) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
     Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
     persons of Registrant pursuant to Item 14 of this Part II to the
     registration statement, or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in
     the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
     is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act, and is,
     therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification
     against such liabilities (other than the payment by Registrant of expenses
     incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant
     in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by
     such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the
     securities being registered, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its
     counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a
