Item 2.Disposition of Assets
---------------------
On August 31, 1998, Jones Cable Income Fund 1-B/C Venture (the
"Venture") sold the cable television system serving the community of South Sioux
City, Nebraska (the "South Sioux City System") to an unaffiliated cable
television system operator for an aggregate sales price of $9,500,000, subject
to customary closing adjustments. The Venture is owned 60 percent by Jones
Cable Income Fund 1-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and 40 percent by Jones Cable
Income Fund 1-B, Ltd. ("Fund 1-B").
From the proceeds of the South Sioux City System's sale, based upon
financial information as of June 30, 1998, the Venture settled working capital
adjustments, paid a brokerage fee to The Jones Group, Ltd., a subsidiary of
Jones Intercable, Inc., the general partner of the Partnership and Fund 1-B (the
"General Partner"), of $237,500, representing 2.5 percent of the sales price,
for acting as a broker in the transaction, repaid $2,000,000 of the then
outstanding balance of the Venture's credit facility and will distribute in
September 1998 the remaining net sale proceeds of $7,210,000 to the Partnership
and Fund 1-B in proportion to their ownership interests in the Venture. The
Partnership will receive $4,342,583 and Fund 1-B will receive $2,867,417 of such
distribution. The Partnership, in turn, will distribute the $4,342,583
(approximately $102 for each $1,000 invested in the Partnership) to the limited
partners of the Partnership. Because the distribution to the limited partners
of the Partnership together with all prior distributions will not return the
amount initially contributed by the limited partners to the Partnership plus the
limited partners' liquidation preference provided by the Partnership's limited
partnership agreement, the General Partner will not receive a general partner
distribution from the sale proceeds. Because the sale of the South Sioux City
System did not represent a sale of all or substantially all of the Partnership's
assets, no vote of the limited partners was required to approve the sale.
The Venture's remaining assets are the cable television system serving
areas in and around Myrtle Creek, Oregon (the "Myrtle Creek System"). The
Venture continues to own the Myrtle Creek System.
Taking into account prior distributions to limited partners from
operating cash flow, and from the net proceeds of prior cable television system
sales from the distribution of the Partnership's portion of the net sale
proceeds from the sale of the South Sioux City System, the limited partners of
the Partnership will have received a total of $1,060 for each $1,000 invested in
the Partnership.

community of South Sioux City, Nebraska (the "South Sioux City System") for
$9,500,000. The Venture sold the Southwest Michigan System on July 31, 1998.
Jones Cable Income Fund 1-C, Ltd. (the "Partnership") and Jones Cable Income

pro forma consolidated statements of operations assume that the Southwest
