Exhibit 20.1
MARCUS CABLE COMPANY, L.P.
DALLAS, TEXAS
October 7, 1997
MARCUS CABLE TO SELL NON-CLUSTERED CABLE TELEVISION SYSTEMS
Marcus Cable announced today that it intends to offer for sale certain
cable television systems that are not within the six core clusters
operated by the company. Systems to be sold serve approximately
200,000 customers in Delaware/Maryland, Virginia, Connecticut,
Mississippi, Louisiana, Illinois, Oklahoma, and the panhandle of
Texas.
In commenting on the proposed sale, Marcus Cable chairman and chief
executive officer, Jeffrey A. Marcus said, "Although we place great
value on each property we own and operate, we want to bring greater
focus to our core company. When the sale is complete, we will have
approximately 1.1 million customers in six clusters and we hope to
acquire additional systems in those areas."
Thomas P. McMillin, Marcus Cable senior vice president and chief
financial officer, said the proceeds from the sale will be used
initially to repay indebtedness and will further strengthen the
company's balance sheet, while broadening Marcus Cable's financial
flexibility.
Waller Capital is representing Marcus Cable in the sale of the cable
systems. Andrew J. Armstrong, president of Waller Capital, said, "We
are very excited about bringing these exceptional systems to market
for Marcus Cable. They represent the largest group of properties
currently available with many large head-ends utilizing advanced
technology."
