                                OPTION AGREEMENT

         Option Agreement, dated as of January 31, 1996, between Fisher
Communications Associates, L.L.C., a Colorado limited liability company
("Purchaser"), and TCI Cablevision of Nevada, Inc., a Nevada corporation
("Seller").

         Seller is a partner of Halcyon Communications Limited Partnership, a
limited partnership organized and existing under the laws of the State of
Oklahoma (the "Partnership"). Pursuant to a certain Agreement of Purchase and
Sale of Partnership Interests, dated as of the date hereof, among Seller, the
other partners of the Partnership and Purchaser (as the same may be amended
from time to time in accordance with its terms, the "Purchase Agreement"), on
the date hereof Purchaser is purchasing from Seller and certain other partners
of the Partnership a portion of their respective partnership interests in the
Partnership. Purchaser desires to acquire from Seller an option to purchase the
balance of the partnership interest in the Partnership that Seller will
continue to own immediately after giving effect to such purchases, and Seller
has agreed to grant such an option to Purchaser on the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth herein.

         Therefore, in consideration of the payment of $100 and other good and
valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

         1.      Grant of Option. Seller hereby grants to Purchaser an
irrevocable option (the "Option") to purchase all, but not less than all of the
Option Interest (as hereinafter defined). The exercise price of the Option (the
"Exercise Price") shall be an amount in cash equal to $233,100, without
interest. The Exercise Price will be payable by Purchaser at the Closing (as
hereinafter defined) by wire transfer or by certified or bank check in
immediately available funds.

         2.      Exercise Period; Exercise of the Option.

         (a)     The Option may be exercised, in whole but not in part, at any
time during the period (the "Exercise Period") commencing on the date hereof
and ending at 12:01 A.M., Denver, Colorado time, on the tenth anniversary of
the date hereof (the "Scheduled Expiration Date").

         (b)     Purchaser may exercise the Option by delivering written notice
thereof (an "Exercise Notice") to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of
the Exercise Period. Subject to paragraph 3 hereof, and unless the parties
otherwise agree, the closing of the sale of the Option Interest (the
"Closing") shall occur on the tenth Business Day (as hereinafter defined)
following delivery of the Exercise Notice. The date the Closing occurs is
<PAGE>   2
hereinafter referred to as the "Closing Date". At the Closing, Seller shall,
against receipt of the Exercise Price as provided in paragraph 1 hereof, convey
and deliver the Option Interest to Purchaser by the delivery to Purchaser by
such Seller of a duly completed and executed instrument of assignment
reasonably satisfactory to both parties and such other documents or instruments
which may be necessary, or which Purchaser may reasonably request, in order to
effectively vest in Purchaser beneficial ownership of the Option Interest.

         (c)     Prior to the sale of the Option Interest to Purchaser pursuant
to this Agreement, Seller shall, subject only to the express provisions of
paragraph 5(a) of this Agreement, retain all rights as the holder of the Option
Interest, including all voting and consent rights as a partner of the
Partnership, and may exercise or refrain from exercising such rights as Seller
may determine in its sole discretion, even if the result is a diminution in the
value of the Option Interest and this Option to Purchaser.

         3.      Conditions to Closing. The Closing of the purchase of the
Option Interest pursuant to the exercise of the Option shall be subject to the
satisfaction of all of the following conditions:

                 (a)      Each of the representations of Purchaser made in this
         Agreement, in the Purchase Agreement and in each Related Instrument
         (as deemed in the Purchase Agreement) shall be true and correct in all
         material respects at and as of the time of the Closing and Purchaser
         shall have performed in all material respects each and every covenant
         of Purchaser contained in this Agreement, in the Purchase Agreement
         and in each Related Instrument required to be performed by the time of
         or at the Closing. If requested by Seller, Purchaser shall execute a
         certificate by which Purchaser confirms the satisfaction of the
         foregoing condition.

                 (b)      No order, preliminary or permanent injunction,
         temporary restraining order, stay, judgment, decree or other order of
         any court or governmental or regulatory body preventing the sale of
         the Option Interest by the Seller or the consummation of the other
         transactions contemplated hereby.

                 (c)      All consents, orders and approvals of any
         governmental authority, any partner or partners of the Partnership and
         of any other third party that either Purchaser or Seller reasonably
         deems necessary or advisable shall have been obtained and shall be in
         full force and effect and any waiting period under applicable law
         shall have expired. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
         all such consents and approvals necessary to permit the withdrawal of
         Seller from the Partnership without further obligation or liability as
         a partner thereof shall have been obtained and shall be in full force
         and effect.

                 (d)      Purchaser shall, by written instrument in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to Seller, assume and agree to
         indemnify Seller for all obligations and





                                      -2-
<PAGE>   3
         liabilities of Seller under the Partnership Agreement with respect to
         the Option Interest of every kind or nature, whether accrued or
         unaccrued, asserted or unasserted, known or unknown, disclosed or
         undisclosed, absolute or contingent, arising by law, contract or
         otherwise and including any liability or obligation arising out of any
         event, fact or circumstance existing or occurring as of or prior to
         the date hereof that, with the passage of time or the giving of
         notice, or otherwise, which constitutes a breach or violation of or
         default under any contract or law binding upon or applicable to the
         Partnership.

                 (e)      If required by Seller, Purchaser will be obligated to
         buy from Seller at the Closing, all evidences of indebtedness of the
         Partnership held directly or indirectly by Seller or any subsidiary of
         Seller, and the purchase price for such evidences of indebtedness
         shall be the outstanding principal amount thereof at the time of the
         Closing plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon which, unless
         otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser, shall be paid in cash.

                 (f)      Purchaser and Seller shall each execute and deliver
         such other instruments as either party or the Partnership reasonably
         deems necessary or appropriate to effect, and as a condition to, the
         exercise of the Option, including amendments to the Partnership
         Agreement or any other instrument filed with any governmental agency
         or official.

                 (g)      Purchaser shall have exercised all options to acquire
         partnership interests in the Partnership granted by other partners of
         the Partnership pursuant to the Purchase Agreement simultaneously with
         the exercise of this Option, and the closings of the sale of all such
         partnership interests pursuant to the exercise of all such other
         options shall occur simultaneously with the Closing under this Option
         Agreement.

                 (h)      Purchaser shall have exercised all options to acquire
         partnership interests in Halcyon Communications Partners, an Oklahoma
         general partnership ("HCP"), granted to Purchaser by partners of HCP
         who are affiliates of Seller simultaneously with the exercise of this
         Option, and the closings of the sale of all such partnership interests
         pursuant to the exercise of all such other options shall occur
         simultaneously with the Closing under this Option Agreement.

                 (i)      If the exercise of the Option requires any consent,
         approval, waiver, or authorization of any government department,
         board, bureau, commission, agency or instrumentality or the expiration
         of any waiting period imposed by applicable law, then the date fixed
         for the Closing pursuant to paragraph 2(b) hereof shall be extended
         for the period of time during which efforts to obtain each such
         consent, approval, waiver, or authorization and the termination of
         each such waiting period at the earliest reasonably practicable time
         are diligently being made; provided however, that, unless Seller and
         Purchaser otherwise agree, the extension of such Closing date pursuant
         to this paragraph may not exceed 180 days. Seller and





                                      -3-
<PAGE>   4
         Purchaser will, and will use their commercially reasonable efforts to
         cause the Partnership to, reasonably cooperate with each other in
         obtaining any such consent, approval, waiver, or authorization and in
         obtaining the termination of any such waiting period at the earliest
         practicable time.

                 (j)      If, in the opinion of legal counsel to Purchaser, the
         immediate proposed transfer of the entire Option Interest would result
         in the termination of the Partnership within the meaning of Section
         708 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (or any successor
         provision of law), but an immediate transfer of less than all of the
         Option Interest would not have such a result, Purchaser shall be
         entitled to elect, in its sole discretion, to either (i) exercise the
         Option in full notwithstanding such termination or (ii) to (A) require
         Seller to immediately transfer only that portion of the Option
         Interest as may, in the opinion of such counsel, be transferred
         without causing such a result and (B) extend the Exercise Period of
         the Option with respect to the balance of the Option Interest until
         the later of the Scheduled Expiration Date or the last day of the
         period of thirteen months after the date of the closing of the
         transfer referred to in subclause (ii)(A) of this sentence, in which
         event, unless otherwise agreed by Seller and Purchaser, the Exercise
         Price shall be allocated proportionately between the portion of the
         Option Interest immediately transferred and the remainder of the
         Option Interest as to which the Exercise Period of the Option shall
         have been so extended.

         4.      Distributions After Exercise. Distributions declared or made
on or prior to the effective date of the exercise of the Option with respect to
the Option Interest shall be made to Seller, regardless of when such
distributions accrued on the books of the Partnership or the date fixed for
payment thereof.

         5.      Certain Covenants of Seller.  Seller hereby covenants and
agrees with Purchaser as follows:

                 (a)      During the Exercise Period, Seller shall not sell or
         otherwise transfer or dispose of the Option Interest or any part
         thereof or interest therein, other than a sale or transfer as to which
         Seller gives Purchaser at least 14 days prior written notice and in
         which the transferee agrees, pursuant to an instrument in form and
         substance reasonably satisfactory to Purchaser, to be bound by the
         terms of this Option Agreement with respect to such transferred
         interest to the same extent as the transferor was so bound with
         respect to such transferred interest.

                 (b)      Upon the Closing, Seller shall convey to Purchaser
         legal title to, and beneficial ownership of, the Option Interest, free
         and clear of any lien, pledge, security interest, claim, or charge or
         other encumbrance and free of any restriction on transfer voluntarily
         created by Seller, other than as expressly set forth in the





                                      -4-
<PAGE>   5
         Partnership Agreement or existing or arising under applicable law and
         other than the possible lien of taxes not yet due and payable and
         minor imperfections in title and encumbrances and other minor matters,
         if any, which singly or in the aggregate are not substantial in an
         amount, do not materially detract from the value of the Option
         Interest.

         6.      Binding Effect; Assignment. Subject to the following provision
of this paragraph 6, this Option Agreement shall inure to the benefit of, and
be binding upon, the parties and their respective successors, heirs, legal
representatives and permitted assignees. Except as otherwise expressly provided
herein, this Option Agreement shall not be assigned by either party hereto
without the prior written consent of the other party. Purchaser may assign this
Option Agreement, in whole or in part, to any FCA Permitted Transferee (as
defined in the Partnership Agreement).

permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and addressed to the intended
recipient at such person's address specified under its or his signature below

and making decisions regarding whether or not to exercise this Option,
Purchaser (i) is not and will not be relying on the representations and
warranties of Seller or any other Person, (ii) has made and will make its own
inquiry and investigation into, and based thereon, has formed an independent
judgment concerning, the Partnership and the business conducted by it, (iii)

inaccuracies, misstatements or omissions with respect to information concerning
the Partnership and the business conducted by it, provided that the foregoing
shall not in any manner be construed or deemed to limit the ability of
Purchaser to make any claim it may otherwise have arising out of the breach of
any express representation or warranty of Seller contained in this Agreement,
the Purchase Agreement or any Related Instrument.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned have executed this Agreement as of
