TCIC and Garff Form Enterprise in National Automotive Website

    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Feb. 3 -- TCI Media Services, a division of
TCI Communications, Inc., (TCIC), the cable television systems arm of
Tele-Communications, Inc. (TCI), and Garff Enterprises, Inc. announced today
the formation of a new enterprise involving the national automotive website
AutoMallUSA.com.
    AutoMallUSA.com offers consumers the ability to search car inventories,
apply for credit, sell their own car and complete a variety of other Internet
transactions.  For the past year, TCI Media Services has offered this Internet
product as part of an automotive dealer advertising package in selected TCI
markets.  TCI Media Services joined the new enterprise as a minority owner
through a cash contribution and will assume sales responsibility for the
national automotive website that offers consumers new and used local car
dealer information.
    "Uniting spot cable advertising and AutoMallUSA.com has been a tremendous
success for our local advertisers, bringing additional customer awareness of
their offerings," said Jerry Machovina, Executive Vice President of
Advertising Sales for TCIC.  "TCI is leading the industry in exploring the
delivery of new advertising applications as consumers' buying habits and
informational resources change during this technological revolution."
    "We are pleased to join TCI Media Services to expand the reach of this
customer and dealer friendly Internet site," said John Garff, Chairman of
AutoMallUSA.com.  "With AutoMallUSA.com, customers have more information at
their fingertips, such as up-to-date price quotes and over 150,000 new and
used vehicles to choose from in our Auto Classifieds."
    TCI Media Services will offer the AutoMallUSA.com program to local car
dealerships in all TCI markets beginning this year.  It will also be made
available to other cable operators and media partners.
    AutoMallUSA.com and TCI Media Services will showcase their Internet
product at the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) show in San
Francisco on February 6th - 9th.

Ventures Group and the Liberty Media Group common stocks.  The Series A and
Series B TCI Group common stocks are traded on the National Market tier of the
Nasdaq Stock Market under the symbols of TCOMA and TCOMB, respectively.
    AutomallUSA.com was founded and developed by Garff Enterprises, which owns
eighteen automobile dealerships in Utah and is part of the newly formed Ford
Retail Network in Salt Lake City.  The Ken Garff Auto Group has been selling
