Exhibit 99.2
First Amendment to

This First Amendment to Asset Purchase Agreement (this "Amendment") is
entered into as of February 26, 1999, by and among JONES CABLE INCOME FUND 1-B/C
VENTURE, a Colorado partnership (Federal Tax I.D. No. 84-1076581), with offices
at 9697 E. Mineral Avenue, Englewood, Colorado 80112 ("Seller"); JONES

I LIMITED PARTNERSHIP, a California limited partnership, with offices at 10900

Recitals
A. Seller, JIC and Buyer are parties to that certain Asset Purchase
Agreement, entered into as of September 9, 1998 (the "Purchase Agreement"),
pursuant to which Seller, among other things, agreed to sell, and Buyer agreed
to purchase, the Assets.
B. The parties desire to amend the Purchase Agreement to provide for a
change in the manner of determining the adjustment, if any, to the Purchase
Price based on the number of subscribers served by the System at Closing.
C. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have
the meanings given in the Purchase Agreement.
Agreements
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereby amend the
Purchase Agreement and agree as follows:
1. Amendment to Section 4.1. The first two sentences of the last full
------------------------
paragraph of Section 4.1 of the Purchase Agreement are deleted in their entirety
and replaced with the following:
Within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date, Seller shall deliver
to Buyer a report (the "Final Settlement Statement"), similarly
certified by Seller, showing in detail the final determination of all
adjustments which were not calculated as of the Closing Date,
containing any corrections to the Initial Settlement Statement and
including any credits based on the post-Closing subscriber
determination described below, together with any documents
substantiating the adjustments proposed in the Final Settlement
Statement. In computing the amount of the final adjustments to the
Purchase Price set forth in the Final Settlement Statement: (i) the
Final Settlement Statement shall reflect a credit to Seller in an
amount equal to $1,507.00 for each Provisional Subscriber (as defined
in Section 4.3.1 hereof) who satisfies the definition of Basic
Subscriber on the 60th day immediately following the Closing Date, and
$1,448.00 for each Senior Provisional Subscriber (as defined in
Section 4.3.1 hereof) who satisfies the definition of Basic Subscriber
on the 60th day immediately following the Closing Date (provided that
the payment requirement of such definition shall be deemed satisfied
by payment of the applicable senior discounted rate); and (ii) the
Final Settlement Statement shall reflect a credit to Buyer in an
amount equal to $1,507.00 for each Second Look Subscriber (as defined
in Section 4.3.2 hereof) who does not satisfy the definition of Basic
Subscriber on the 60th day immediately following the Closing Date, and
$1,448.00 for each Senior Second Look Subscriber (as defined in
Section 4.3.2 hereof) who does not satisfy the definition of Basic
Subscriber on the 60th day immediately following the Closing Date
(provided that the payment requirement of such definition shall be
evaluated based on payment of the applicable senior discounted rate).
For purposes of the immediately preceding sentence only, all
references to "the Closing Date" contained in the first sentence of
Section 4.2 hereof shall be deemed modified to read "the 60th day
immediately following the Closing Date". Notwithstanding the
foregoing, in the event the credit determined pursuant to clause (i)
of this paragraph exceeds the credit determined pursuant to clause
(ii) of this paragraph, such credits shall be netted together, and the
adjustment to the Purchase Price arising from the aggregate of such
credits shall be equal to the lesser of (a) such net amount or (b) the
aggregate adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 4.1.4
hereof. Buyer will provide Seller with reasonable access to and
copies of all records which Buyer has in its possession and which are
necessary for Seller to prepare the Final Settlement Statement.
2. New Section 4.3. A new Section 4.3 is added to the Purchase Agreement
---------------
