MARCUS CABLE TO SELL NON-STRATEGIC CABLE SYSTEMS
IN MISSISSIPPI, TEXAS AND OKLAHOMA TO CABLE ONE
Dallas, TX.---As part of the 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 Cable One, Inc. to sell its cable television assets
located in Mississippi, Louisiana, the Texas Panhandle and Oklahoma.
The cable television systems serve approximately 71,500 customers from
seventeen headends.
The Mississippi systems serve two clusters across the southern,
central and western part of the state including systems serving
communities in Louisiana. The Pascagoula cluster, which includes two
headends, serves certain areas between Gulfport, MS and Mobile, AL
along the Gulf of Mexico, including the communities of Pascagoula,
Moss Point, Gautier and certain unincorporated parts of Jackson
County. The McComb cluster is served by four headends located to the
south and west of Jackson, MS including Brookhaven, McComb, Natchez
and the surrounding communities in Mississippi and Louisiana. The
Texas/Oklahoma systems consist of eleven headends serving customers
in the Texas Panhandle communities of Pampa, McLean, Panhandle, White
Deer, Borger, Fritch, Stinnet, Dumas, Sunray and the Oklahoma
communities of Clinton and Elk City.
In commenting on the sale, Jeffrey A. Marcus, Chairman and CEO said,
"The execution of our previously announced plan to divest certain
non-core systems continues to move forward. This agreement is the
third in a series of separate transactions, leaving us with only the
Illinois systems to divest in order to complete our original plan."
He went on to say, "Cable One is a very well managed company with
strong ownership through the Washington Post and an excellent
reputation in the industry. I am confident that our customers will
continue to be well served under the management of Cable One."
Waller Capital is representing Marcus Cable in the sale of the systems
and continues to market the remaining non-strategic systems serving
the Illinois communities of Jacksonville, Ottawa, Streator, Pontiac,
Dwight, and the surrounding areas. The transaction is subject to
regulatory approval and the closing is expected to occur in 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
