ITEM 5.  Other Events.

                  On August 9, 1999, Comcast Corporation ("Comcast"), the parent
of Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. (the "Company"), announced that it plans
to commence an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") 1.4 shares of its Class
A Special Common Stock for each share of Class A Common Stock or Common Stock of
Jones Intercable, Inc., ("Jones Intercable"), for up to 79% of the combined
number of shares of Jones Intercable Class A Common Stock or Common Stock
outstanding (subject to certain terms and conditions to be contained in the
offer documents). Based on the closing market prices of Comcast Class A Special
Common Stock, Jones Intercable Class A Common Stock and Jones Intercable Common
Stock as of August 6, 1999, the Exchange Offer would value each share of Jones
Intercable Class A Common Stock at $50.31, a 9.1% premium over its closing price
and each share of Jones Intercable Common Stock at $50.31, a 12.7% premium over
its closing price. Comcast expects to commence the Exchange Offer as soon as
reasonably practicable after a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to
its Class A Special Common Stock to be offered in the Exchange Offer is filed
with and declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission, pursuant
to applicable securities laws. Comcast intends to contribute the shares of Jones
Intercable Class A Common Stock and Jones Intercable Common Stock received in
the Exchange Offer to the Company.

                  A copy of Comcast's press release dated August 9, 1999 is
filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
