Insight Communications Appoints Dinni Jain Chief Financial Officer

New York – January 25, 2002 –

Insight Communications (NASDAQ - ICCI) named Dinesh "Dinni" C. Jain to the newly created position of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Jain assumes the senior financial duties for the company, relieving Kim D. Kelly from the dual COO and CFO responsibilities and allowing her to focus more on running the operational facets of the company.

"Given Insight's ongoing growth and status as a publicly traded company, we became convinced that we needed a full-time Chief Financial Officer with both financial and operational expertise," said Kelly. "We're thrilled to have found these abilities in Dinni. He is absolutely the right person for us to meet our growth objectives and we're very excited to have him on board."

Jain will focus on all financing activities of the company, including banking relationships and financing, public market financing, and common stock issuance. He will also oversee the negotiation and execution of mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, as well as cable property purchases and swaps, and will have responsibility for interfacing with the financial community and running the capital budget process. He is based in Insight's New York Home Office.

Jain comes to Insight from NTL, one of Europe's leading cable and telecommunications companies, where he served most recently as Managing Director of Strategy and Planning. His background in the cable industry includes a nine-year period with OCOM Corporation and International CableTel, working in various key general management positions. His roles have included Deputy Managing Director, NTL Consumer Group, as well as Managing Director of Cable and Wireless' Consumer Division.
