Adelphia Files Draft Fourth Amended Plan of Reorganization

Company Working to Address Disclosure Statement Objections

GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo., Nov. 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Adelphia Communications Corporation today filed a draft fourth amended plan of reorganization with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York together with a related draft amended disclosure statement.

These filings represent the company's responses and proposed resolutions to many of the objections that had been filed to approval of the company's disclosure statement. The hearing to consider approval of the disclosure statement commenced on October 27 and 28, 2005 and is scheduled to resume on Thursday, November 10.

It is expected that significant negotiations will continue regarding the terms of the proposed plan of reorganization and disclosure statement as the constituents work through a number of inter-creditor issues, and that it is therefore possible that there will be material changes to the proposed plan of reorganization and the disclosure statement.

On April 21, 2005, Adelphia announced that it had reached definitive agreements for Time Warner Inc. (NYSE:TWX) and Comcast Corporation (NASDAQ:CMCSA)(NASDAQ:CMCSK) to acquire substantially all the U.S. assets of Adelphia for $12.7 billion in cash and 16 percent of the common stock of Time Warner's cable subsidiary, Time Warner Cable Inc.

Copies of the draft amended plan and the draft amended disclosure statement are available in the investor relations and press room sections of the Adelphia corporate web site www.adelphia.com.
