        MARCUS CABLE TO SELL NON-STRATEGIC CABLE SYSTEMS IN
          CONNECTICUT AND VIRGINIA TO TMC HOLDINGS, INC.

Dallas, TX.---In connection with its previously announced strategy of
divesting certain non-clustered cable television systems, Marcus Cable
Company, L.P. announced today that it has entered into a definitive
agreement with TMC Holdings, Inc. to sell its cable television assets
located in Connecticut and Virginia for $150 million. 

The cable television systems serve approximately 46,000 customers from
a single 550 MHz headend in the Connecticut communities of Waterbury,
Middlebury, Plymouth, Prospect, and Wolcott and approximately 17,000
customers in the Virginia communities of Petersburg, Colonial Heights,
Fort Lee and certain unincorporated parts of Prince Georges County. 
  
In commenting on the sale, Jeffrey A. Marcus, Chairman and CEO said,
"The sale of these systems to TMC represents the second step in our
plan to divest our non-core cable systems.  These systems are adjacent
to TMC's existing operations in each of the states and will
significantly enhance the company's clusters in those markets.  With
their commitment to the area, we are confident that our customers will
continue to be well served.  We are continuing to evaluate offers and
negotiate with interested parties for our remaining non-strategic
systems."

Waller Capital is representing Marcus Cable in the sale of the systems
and continues to market the remaining non-strategic systems serving
approximately 107,000 customers in Illinois, Mississippi, Oklahoma and
Texas.  The transaction is subject to regulatory approval and the
closing is expected to occur during the third quarter of 1998.

Marcus Cable is principally engaged in the management and operation
of domestic wired telecommunications networks, including cable
television systems, distance education networks and internet services. 
It is currently the nation's tenth largest cable operator serving over
1.2 million customers in 18 states.  More information on Marcus Cable
can be found on the company's website on the internet at
