                  THE BOX WORLDWIDE AND TCI MUSIC SET TO MERGE

                  COMBINED RESOURCES AND EXPERTISE WILL CREATE
                     DIVERSIFIED MUSIC PROGRAMMING SERVICES

                       BINDING LETTER OF INTENT IS SIGNED

Miami Beach, Florida, and Englewood,  Colorado -- The Box Worldwide,  Inc. ("The
Box Worldwide")  (Nasdaq:  BOXW), which programs and distributes the music video
channel THE BOX, and TCI Music, Inc. ("TCI Music") (Nasdaq: TUNE) today signed a
binding letter of intent for the merger of The Box Worldwide into TCI Music.  As
a result of the merger, The Box Worldwide would become a wholly-owned subsidiary
of TCI  Music,  and  shares of the Common  Stock of The Box  Worldwide  would be
exchanged for shares of TCI Music's Series "A" Preferred Stock.

The  letter  of intent  provides  that  each  share of  Common  Stock of The Box
Worldwide  would be valued at $1.50 and  would be  exchanged  for  shares of TCI
Music  Series "A"  Preferred  Stock ("TCI Music  Preferred").  Each share of TCI
Music Preferred would be immediately  convertible into three shares of TCI Music
Series "A" Common Stock entitled to the same rights as the currently outstanding
TCI Music  Series "A" Common  Stock  other than its put  feature.  The number of
shares of TCI Music  Preferred  which  each Box  Worldwide  shareholder  will be
entitled to receive  will be  determined  by dividing the product of $1.50 times
the number of Box Worldwide  shares held, by three times the average bid and ask
price of TCI Music  Series "A" Common Stock  during the 20  consecutive  trading
days ending on the third trading day prior to the closing of the transaction.

The announcement was made by Alan McGlade, President and Chief Executive Officer
of The Box  Worldwide,  and Leo J.  Hindery,  Jr.,  Chairman  of TCI  Music  and
President and Chief Operating Officer of its parent company, TeleCommunications,
Inc. ("TCI"), the nation's largest cable television  operator.  The merger would
combine the resources  and  expertise of THE BOX, the world's only  interactive,
24-hour,  all music video service,  with TCI Music,  formed earlier this year by
TCI, to deliver audio and video music  services to  residential  and  commercial
customers via television, the Internet and other methods.

THE BOX is a technically  advanced programming service that has been transformed
over the past year to  provide  market-by-market  customization  from five basic
music video formats:  Pop/Rock,  Mainstream,  Urban,  Country and Latin. The Box
Worldwide also has recently  completed an upgrade of all its domestic markets to
a fully integrated digital distribution system utilizing local file servers. THE
BOX currently reaches more than 30 million households in the U.S. and abroad.

In announcing the binding letter of intent to merge, TCI's Mr. Hindery said, "By
bringing  The  Box  Worldwide  into  the  TCI  family,  we  have  the  strategic
opportunity  to build the assets of TCI Music and embark on an  exciting  future
together.  THE  BOX's  agile  video  platform,  in  particular,  will be a vital
component  to our  plans  to  develop  TCI  Music  into a major  music  services
company."

The Box  Worldwide's  Mr. McGlade  commented,  "We are  enthusiastic  about this
merger which is the next logical step in the  evolution of THE BOX. It positions
The Box  Worldwide  for both short and long term  growth as we  further  enhance
existing  programming,  launch  new  services  and  heighten  our  impact in the
television and music industries."

TCI Music is managed by Liberty Media Corporation,  the programming unit of TCI.
Liberty  Media has been an investor in The Box Worldwide for many years and also
holds  numerous  other   investments  in  globally  branded   entertainment  and
electronic retailing networks.  Earlier this month, TCI Music acquired DMX Inc.,
which  programs,  markets and  distributes  its premium  digital audio  service,
Digital Music Express.

Robert R.  Bennett,  President  and CEO of  Liberty  Media,  said  "Last  week's
acquisition of DMX  positioned TCI Music as a leading  provider of digital audio
music to cable and satellite television customers. With this transaction we will
broaden our product offering to include digital video music, including THE BOX's
unique existing  service as well as a music multiplex  service that we expect to
create and launch in the coming months."

The  merger,  expected  to take  several  months  to  complete,  is  subject  to
regulatory approvals,  the requisite approval of The Box Worldwide  shareholders
and the  fiduciary  obligations  of the  Board  of  Directors.  David  Burns  of
Communications  Equity  Associates  is  representing  The Box  Worldwide  in the
transaction.

TCI Music,  Inc. Series "A" Common Stock is traded on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market
under the symbol TUNE.  It is  anticipated  that TCI Music  Preferred  will also
trade on the Nasdaq SmallCap Market.  Efforts will be made to list the TCI Music
Series  "A" Common  Stock  that The Box  Worldwide  shareholders  may  initially
receive  upon  conversion,  so that  those  shares  which  will not have the put
feature,  may trade  separately from the currently  outstanding TCI Music Series
"A" Common  Stock.  The put  feature  will  expire no later than August 11, 1998
after which time all shares of TCI Music Series "A" Common Stock will trade as a
single class.

Devoid of veejays,  long form  programming and commercial  clutter,  THE BOX has
engendered  viewer loyalty by presenting the most diverse selection of new music
on  television.  Viewers  call in and  request a video  from a menu of up to 300
selections,  with the cost billed directly to the consumer's telephone.  THE BOX
is  currently  available in the United  States,  Europe,  Latin  America and New
Zealand  through  locally  installed  Boxes and on U.S.  satellite via Galaxy 7,
T-13.  The Box Worldwide is traded under the symbol BOXW on the Nasdaq  SmallCap
Market.
