GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Oct. 12 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Adelphia Communications Corporation today filed a revised draft of the Second Disclosure Statement Supplement to its Fourth Amended Disclosure Statement with the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The revised draft of the Disclosure Statement Supplement relates to the modified draft of Adelphia's Fifth Amended Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization that was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on October 11, 2006.

Adelphia and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors are seeking an order of the Bankruptcy Court approving the revised draft of the Disclosure Statement Supplement as containing "adequate information" to enable Adelphia's Chapter 11 bankruptcy creditors and equity holders to make an informed judgment about the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan. The Bankruptcy Court commenced the hearing on the Disclosure Statement Supplement on September 12, 2006. The hearing is currently scheduled to continue on Friday, October 13, 2006.

Adelphia and the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors remain co-proponents of the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan. In addition, the two bank administrative agents with which settlements have been reached will continue to be co-proponents of the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan with respect to the treatment of bank claims under the credit agreements for which they are agents.

Adelphia's proposal and prosecution of confirmation of the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan still is subject in all respects to entry of an order approving the Disclosure Statement Supplement, as well as Bankruptcy Court authorization for Adelphia to propose and seek votes in respect of the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan. If this order is entered and such authorization is granted, Adelphia, the Official Committee of Unsecured Creditors and the relevant bank administrative agents will begin the process of soliciting creditors and equity holders to vote on the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan.

Copies of the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan and the revised draft of the Disclosure Statement Supplement are available in the investor relations section of the Adelphia corporate website http://www.adelphia.com/. This press release is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the modified draft of the Fifth Amended Plan.
