                        ORDER ON RECONSIDERATION

              Adopted:  December 18, 1997                               Released:  December 19, 1997  

By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

      1.      In this Order we reconsider on our own motion, pursuant to Section 1.108 of the
Commission's Rules, our decision in Marcus Cable Associates, L.P ("Prior Order") concerning the
above-captioned operator ("Operator").   In our Prior Order, we determined that Operator's June 1, 1997
rate increase for its cable programming services tier ("CPST") in the  community referenced above for
the upgrade segment of its system was not unreasonable but that the rate increase for the non-upgrade
segment of its system was unreasonable.  These findings were based on our review of Operator's FCC
Forms 1240 and FCC Form 1235.  We now make a correction to our review of Operator's FCC Form
1240 for the projected period June 1, 1997 to May 31, 1998.

      2.      In the Prior Order, we determined that Operator had incorrectly calculated its maximum
permitted rate ("MPR") on Line I9 of its FCC Form 1240 for the projected period June 1, 1997 to May
31, 1998 and we made the appropriate corrections.  These corrections reduced Line I4 (Projected Period
Rate Eligible For Inflation) from $4.4686 to $4.4386, Line I5 (Inflation Segment for Projected Period)
from $0.1207 to $0.1198 and Line I8 (True-Up Segment For Projected Period) from $1.2516 to $0.8428. 
We accepted Operator's figure of $7.4403 on Line I7 (External Costs For Projected Period).  Pursuant
to the FCC Form 1240 Instructions, the sum of Lines I4, I5, I6, I7 and I8 equals Line I9 (Maximum
Permitted Rate For Projected Period).  The correct sum of these figures is $12.84.  Because Operator
was actually charging a Selected Rate (Line I10) of $12.73 in the non-upgrade area of its system, we find
that Operator's CPST rate of $12.73, effective June 1, 1997, in the non-upgrade area of its system is not
unreasonable.

      3.      Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, that In the Matter of Marcus Cable Associates, L.P. DA
97-2529, (released December 4, 1997) IS VACATED IN PART AND AFFIRMED IN PART TO THE
EXTENT INDICATED HEREIN.

      4.      IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.321 of the Commission's rules, 47
C.F.R.  0.321, that the CPST rate of  $12.73, charged by Operator in the non-upgrade segment of its
system, effective June 1, 1997, IS NOT UNREASONABLE.
