Item 8.01. Other Events.

In an order dated July 11, 2006 (the “Extension Order”), the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) extended the deadline for the submission of ballots and master ballots (the “Voting Deadline”) to accept or reject the Modified Fourth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Banruptcy Code, dated April 28, 2006 (as may be amended and/or modified, the “April Plan”) of Adelphia Communications Corporation (the “Company”) and certain of its subsidiaries (collectively, with the Company, the “Debtors”). The Voting Deadline for the submission of ballots to the balloting agent to accept or reject the April Plan was July 26, 2006, and in the case of securities held through an intermediary, July 21, 2006, or such earlier date as established by the intermediary. Pursuant to the Extension Order, the Voting Deadline to accept or reject the April Plan has been extended to 4:00 p.m. (prevailing New York time) on September 12, 2006, and in the case of securities held through an intermediary, the deadline for instructions to be received by the intermediary has been extended to 4:00 p.m. (prevailing New York time) on September 7, 2006 or such other date as specified by the applicable intermediary, so that master ballots can be prepared and received by the Voting Deadline.

This filing is not intended to be, nor should it be construed as, a solicitation for a vote on the April Plan.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report includes forward-looking statements. All statements regarding the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ and affiliates’ expected future financial position, results of operations, cash flows, sale of the Company, settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (the “U.S. Attorney”), restructuring and financing plans, expected emergence from bankruptcy, business strategy, budgets, projected costs, capital expenditures, network upgrades, products and services, competitive positions, growth opportunities, plans and objectives of management for future operations, as well as statements that include words such as “anticipate,” “if,” “believe,” “plan,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “could,” “should,” “will” and other similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are inherently uncertain, and readers must recognize that actual results may differ materially from the Company’s expectations. The Company does not undertake a duty to update such forward-looking statements. Factors that may cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements include whether the proposed sale of the Company’s assets to Time Warner NY Cable LLC (“TW NY”) and Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”) is consummated, whether the Third Modified Fourth Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization Under Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code for Century-TCI Debtors and Parnassos Debtors, dated as of June 28, 2006, will be consummated in time to close the sale of assets to TW NY and Comcast, the potential costs and impacts of the transactions and obligations associated with the sale of substantially all of the consolidated assets of the Company to TW NY and Comcast, whether the April Plan is confirmed and consummated in time to close the sale of assets to TW NY and Comcast in the event the section 363 sale approved by order of the Bankruptcy Court dated June 28, 2006 is not timely consummated, whether the transactions contemplated by the settlements with the SEC and the U.S. Attorney and any other agreements needed to effect those transactions are consummated, the Company’s pending bankruptcy proceeding, results of litigation against the Company, results and impacts of the proposed sale of the Company’s assets, the effects of government regulation including the actions of local cable franchising authorities, the availability of financing, actions of the Company’s competitors, pricing and availability of programming, equipment, supplies and other inputs, the Company’s ability to upgrade its broadband network, technological developments, changes in general economic conditions, and those discussed under Items 1A, “Risk Factors,” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2006 and in the Company’s Fourth Amended Disclosure Statement, filed with the Bankruptcy Court on April 28, 2006, which is available in the investor relations section of the Company’s website at www.adelphia.com. Information contained on the Company’s Internet website is not incorporated by reference into this report. Many of these factors are outside of the Company’s control.
