Item 8.01. Other Events.

In an order dated June 16, 2006, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) approved new provisions for termination, for the payment of the breakup fee and, under certain circumstances, for a credit to the purchase price of approximately $440 million, and reaffirmed the effectiveness of the “no-shop provision” (collectively the “Additional Buyer Provisions”) contained in the two forms of amendments to the asset purchase agreements with Time Warner NY Cable LLC (“Time Warner”) and Comcast Corporation (“Comcast”, and together with Time Warner, the “Buyers”) (as so amended the “Amended Purchase Agreements” (in their original form, the “Purchase Agreements”)) and overruled all objections thereto. The Amended Purchase Agreements proposed to be entered into are by and between Adelphia Communications Corporation (the “Company,” together with certain of its subsidiaries, the “Debtors”) and Time Warner and by and between the Company and Comcast in connection with a sale of assets by the Debtors pursuant to section 363 of title 11 of the United States Code (a “363 Sale”).

Pursuant to the Additional Buyer Provisions, if neither of the Amended Purchase Agreements has been terminated by one of the Buyers prior to September 1, 2006 (except in limited circumstances), the closing of the transactions set forth in the Amended Purchase Agreements (the “Closing”) has not occurred on or before August 31, 2006 (other than due to (i) the failure to obtain approval from the Federal Communications Commission, (ii) certain breaches by one of the Buyers or (iii) a material adverse change in the business of Time Warner Cable Inc.), and the Debtors have not notified the Buyers in writing that they have terminated their efforts to pursue a 363 Sale prior to the earlier of July 31, 2006 or, except in certain circumstances, the entry of an order of the bankruptcy court approving the 363 Sale and confirming the Proposed Plan (as defined below), then (i) the purchase price will be reduced by approximately $440 million if the Closing occurs or (ii) if the Closing does not occur an amount equal to the current termination fee will be paid upon the earlier of (x) the consummation of certain sale transactions and (y) the effective date of a chapter 11 bankruptcy plan of reorganization of the Debtors involving a substantial portion of their assets.

A hearing to approve the 363 Sale and confirm a modified chapter 11 bankruptcy plan of reorganization (the “Proposed Plan”) relating to Parnassos Communications, L.P. and Century-TCI California Communications, L.P., the joint ventures the Debtors hold with Comcast, is expected to be held in late June 2006.

More information on the process to consummate the Comcast and Time Warner sales under the Proposed Plan and a 363 Sale can be found in the Current Report on Form 8-K furnished by the Company to the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 31, 2006.

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