Comcast and Time Warner Announce Completion of Previously Announced Restructuring of Kansas City and Texas Cable Partnerships

Philadelphia, PA.

Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ: CMCSA, CMCSK) and Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) today announced that they have completed the previously announced restructuring of their two cable joint ventures, Kansas City Cable Partners and Texas Cable Partners. The agreement to restructure the joint ventures was announced on December 1, 2003.

Prior to the restructuring, Texas Cable Partners served about 1.2 million basic cable subscribers in Houston and other south Texas communities, and Kansas City Cable Partners served about 300,000 basic cable subscribers in Kansas City, Missouri.

Under the restructuring, Time Warner Cable and Comcast:

-- Merged the Kansas City partnership into the Texas partnership, of which Time Warner Cable and Comcast own 50% each;

-- Extended Time Warner Cable's management of the systems for at least the next two years;

-- Agreed to allow either party to trigger the split of the combined partnership after June 1, 2006; and

-- Agreed to give the non-triggering party the right to choose and take full ownership of one of two pools of the combined partnership's systems -- one pool consisting of the Houston systems and the other consisting of the Kansas City and south Texas systems -- with an arrangement to distribute the debt among the pools. The remaining pool of systems and any debt associated with that pool would be owned by the party that triggered the split. This split-up mechanism replaces an existing buy-sell provision under the prior partnership agreements.
