MARCUS TO JOIN CHANCELLOR MEDIA CORPORATION AS PRESIDENT & CEO Will Remain Chairman and General Partner of Marcus Cable DALLAS, Tex., April 29, 1998 - Jeffrey A. Marcus, the founder, chairman, president and CEO of Marcus Cable, announced today he will become the president and chief executive officer of Chancellor Media Corporation. Mr. Marcus will remain as chairman and general partner of Marcus Cable, passing day-to-day operating responsibilities to a new president and CEO. The company announced it will commission a national search to fill the position. Mr. Marcus will remain in his current position until the new president and CEO is appointed. "We will be looking for a seasoned cable veteran who is known to Wall Street and the banking community," Mr. Marcus said. "Our new president will oversee the operation of the company, reporting to me. I will retain the role of helping to determine the overall strategy and direction of Marcus Cable." Earlier this month, the limited partnership interests of Marcus Cable were purchased by Paul G. Allen in a transaction valued at $2.775 billion. The company and Mr. Allen stated that the new alliance would result in the early introduction of new and advanced services to Marcus Cable customers, as well as facilitating the continued growth of the company. "We have been aware of Jeff's interest in Chancellor and his desire to help direct that company's future growth," Mr. Allen said. "Fortunately, Marcus Cable will continue to benefit from his guidance as chairman, and from the exemplary cable management team that he has established. They, along with the new president, will continue to fulfill the promise of the broadband cable pipe in this ever increasing wired world." 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.
