HINDERY REPLACE MALONE AS TCI PRESIDENT

          TCI named LEO HINDERY JR. President to replace JOHN
     MALONE, who remains Chair & CEO, according to Geraldine
     Fabrikant of the N.Y. TIMES.  Previously, Hindery was
     Managing General Partner of Intermedia Partners, a San
     Francisco-based cable operator.  The move on Friday was seen
     by analysts "as part of an effort to bolster the shares of
     the nation's largest cable company, which like those of
     other cable concerns have lagged badly in the bull market." 
     Fabrikant notes analysts were "encouraged" by the
     appointment of Hindery, "who is considered a strong and
     effective manager" (N.Y. TIMES, 2/8).  TCI's stock price at
     mid-day Friday was $14, up $.25 (CABLE WORLD, 2/10 issue).
