The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 to Schedule 13E-3 is to withdraw the
Schedule 13E-3 filed with the SEC on December 1, 1999 by Northland Cable
Properties Six Limited Partnership (the "Partnership"), Northland Communications
Corporation (the "Managing General Partner") and FN Equities Joint Venture. The
persons filing this statement elected to take this action because, among other
things, the affiliate of the Managing General Partner that intended to purchase
the assets of the Partnership was unable to arrange financing for the proposed
purchase upon terms that would permit the limited partners to receive a
favorable distribution with respect to the amount and timing thereof. The
persons filing this statement were concerned that this and other factors would
require the transaction be restructured, which could result in a diminished
potential return on investment to the limited partners.

After due inquiry and to the best of our knowledge and belief, we certify that
the information set forth in this statement is true, complete and correct.
