For Immediate Release

Middletown, NY — November 9, 2005 — MEDIACOM COMMUNICATIONS CORPORATION (Nasdaq: MCCC) today reported financial results for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Company will hold a teleconference to discuss its third quarter 2005 results today at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. A live broadcast of the Company’s teleconference can be accessed through the Company web site at www.mediacomcc.com.

Third Quarter 2005 Financial Highlights

Third quarter 2005 highlights were as follows:

	•		Revenue of $275.0 million, an increase of 5.3% over Q3 2004
	•		Operating income before depreciation and amortization (“OIBDA”) of $100.0 million, an increase of 1.5% over Q3 2004
	•		Capital expenditures of $67.4 million
	•		Total revenue generating units (“RGUs”) of 2,361,000, an increase of 168,000, or 7.7%, over September 30, 2004, and a gain of 34,000 during the quarter, including:

	•		Basic subscriber losses of 17,000 (including 9,000 basic subscribers that were lost due to Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina)
	•		Digital customer gains of 22,000
	•		Data customer gains of 27,000
	•		Phone customer gains of 2,000

These results were affected by Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina, which disrupted operations in certain of the Company’s cable systems in Alabama, Florida and Mississippi. For the three months ended September 30, 2005, revenues and OIBDA were reduced by $1.5 million and $2.3 million, respectively, and capital expenditures were increased by $4.1 million as a result of the hurricanes. For more information on the effects of the hurricanes, see “Effect of Hurricanes on Operations and Financial Results.”

“Mediacom delivered solid growth of 34,000 RGUs in the third quarter, even after taking into account the 12,000 RGUs that we lost due to the hurricanes,” said Rocco B. Commisso, Mediacom’s Chairman and CEO. “Customers have responded well to our product packaging and bundling initiatives. While our strategies have helped stabilize our core video business, offering extended discount periods to our customers has weighed upon short-term results.”

“Our financial performance this quarter was further impacted by Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina. Last year, our business was disrupted by Hurricane Ivan. Together, the three hurricanes have not only affected our operating results, but have also taken away for the near-term some of the Gulf Coast’s organic growth potential. We are confident that the region will recover even stronger and Mediacom will be there rebuilding our network to better serve these communities.”

“We are pleased with the progress of our phone business since its launch in June 2005. Today we are marketing to over 1.2 million homes and serve over 8,000 phone customers. We believe our residential phone service, together with ongoing efforts to strengthen our core video business, have laid the groundwork for improving financial performance in 2006,” Mr. Commisso concluded.

Effect of Hurricanes on Operations and Financial Results

In July and August 2005, as a result of Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina, the Company’s cable systems in areas of Alabama, Florida, and Mississippi experienced, to varying degrees, damage to their cable plant and other property and equipment, service interruption and loss of customers. Some customers’ homes in these areas also sustained varying levels of damage, including certain homes in the Mississippi area that were totally destroyed. Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina initially disrupted cable service to about 45,000 and 55,000 basic subscribers, respectively, in these states. The Company estimates that, as of September 30, 2005, the hurricanes caused losses of approximately 9,000 basic subscribers, 2,000 digital customers and 1,000 data customers, which are reflected in the Company’s subscriber and customer counts as of September 30, 2005.

The Company is currently providing service to substantially all of the surviving households in the affected communities, and expects to recover a portion of these lost customers as they return to the region to rebuild or repair their homes. The Company anticipates that some customers will move back into their homes or into temporary housing on their properties while repairs or rebuilding are under way, and potentially reconnect or reactivate cable service at that time.

The Company’s results of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2005 take into account service interruption credits, lost revenues and incremental costs caused by these hurricanes. Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2005 reflected approximately $0.6 million of service interruption credits issued to customers, $0.7 million of lost revenues from customers whose homes were destroyed or otherwise rendered uninhabitable and $0.2 million of lost revenue in the advertising sales business. The Company also incurred incremental service costs of approximately $0.5 million to cover the repair of the Company’s facilities, including increased employee and outside contractor costs; incremental selling, general and administrative costs of approximately $0.3 million related to additional customer service employee costs required to support customers’ needs; and $0.6 million of incremental depreciation expense due to the impairment of cable plant and other property and equipment. Subsequent impairment charges may result as the Company completes its assessment of the damage. Capital expenditures to rebuild the Company’s cable plant and facilities and restore service were approximately $4.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005. The Company estimates that after September 30, 2005, it may spend an additional $5.5 million to rebuild the remainder of its damaged cable plant and other property affected by Hurricanes Ivan, Dennis and Katrina, assuming the complete recovery of the affected communities, although it cannot be certain about the timing of such spending.

The Company is insured against certain losses related to the hurricanes, principally facility damage, subject to varying deductible amounts. The Company cannot estimate at this time the amounts that will be ultimately recoverable under its insurance policies.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2005 Compared to Three Months Ended September 30, 2004

For the third quarter of 2005, revenues were $275.0 million, an increase of 5.3% over $261.0 million in the comparable 2004 period. These figures reflected reductions in revenues related to hurricanes in the 2005 and 2004 periods of $1.5 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

	•		Video revenues increased 1.4%, as a result of rate increases applied on the Company’s subscribers and higher fees from advanced video products and services, offset by a 2.2% decrease of basic subscribers from 1,461,000 to 1,429,000. The Company’s loss of basic subscribers resulted from continuing competitive pressures by other video providers and, to a lesser extent, the impact of Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina. To strengthen its competitiveness, the Company increased the emphasis on product bundling and on enhancing and differentiating its video products and services, and implemented new promotional campaigns with extended six- to twelve-month discount periods. Partly as a result of these efforts, the Company’s loss of basic subscribers decreased significantly during the three months ended September 30, 2005, with a net loss of 8,000 basic subscribers adjusted for the impact of Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina, compared to a loss of 21,000 in the same period last year adjusted for the impact of Hurricane Ivan. Digital customers rose by 22,000 during the third quarter of 2005, as compared to a gain of 9,000 in the same period last year. Average monthly video revenue per basic subscriber increased 4.1% from the third quarter of 2004 to $49.06.
	•		Data revenues rose 27.1%, primarily due to a 29.4% year-over-year increase in data customers from 350,000 to 453,000 and, to a much lesser extent, the growth of the Company’s commercial service and enterprise network businesses. Data customers grew by 27,000 during the third quarter of 2005, as compared to a gain of 23,000 in the same period last year. Average monthly data revenue per data customer decreased 2.2% from the third quarter of 2004 to $37.73, largely due to promotional offers in 2005.
	•		Advertising revenues increased 3.0%, as a result of stronger national and regional advertising, offset in part by a decline in political advertising.

Service costs grew 9.1% and included incremental costs related to hurricanes in 2005 and 2004 of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively. This increase was primarily due to: (i) increased programming costs as a result of lower launch support received from programming suppliers and higher unit costs, significantly offset by a lower base of basic subscribers; (ii) greater employee costs caused by increased headcount and overtime of technicians to prepare the Company’s network for phone service and increased overtime for customer installation activity and hurricane-related repairs; and (iii) higher field operating costs as a result of higher vehicle fuel costs, greater use of outside contractors for hurricane-related repairs and customer activity typically performed by service employees and, to a lesser extent, increases in routine plant repairs and maintenance.

Selling, general and administrative expenses rose 4.9% and included incremental costs related to hurricanes in 2005 and 2004 of $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. This increase was primarily due to higher employee costs caused by higher staffing, commissions and benefit costs of customer service and direct sales personnel resulting from higher levels of customer activity. This was offset in part by a decrease in bad debt expense primarily as a result of a change in estimate in the Company’s advertising business to better reflect historical collection experience.

Corporate expenses rose 7.3%, principally due to increases in employee compensation, including amortization of non-cash stock-based compensation and higher legal and accounting fees.

Depreciation and amortization decreased 1.4%, as a result of asset retirements and a sale of cable system assets in 2004, offset in part by increased depreciation for ongoing investments to continue the rollout of products and services and for investments in the Company’s cable network.

Interest expense, net, increased 7.5%, principally due to higher market interest rates on variable rate debt. This increase was offset in part by the redemption in April 2005 of the Company’s 8 ¹/2% Senior Notes due 2008 with lower cost bank borrowings.

As a result of the quarterly mark-to-market valuation of the Company’s interest rate exchange agreements, the Company recorded a net gain on derivatives amounting to $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2005, as compared to a net loss on derivatives of $4.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

The Company generated a net loss for the three months ended September 30, 2005 of $2.7 million, as compared to a net loss of $12.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2004.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has included, in Attachment 4, the Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 and 2004 in order to provide more detail regarding the liquidity and capital resources discussion below.

Significant sources of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of the following:

	•		Generation of net cash flows from operating activities of approximately $121.2 million;
	•		Net borrowings of $58.7 million; and
	•		Proceeds from the sale of assets and investments of $4.6 million.

Significant uses of cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 consisted of the following:

	•		Capital expenditures of approximately $179.2 million;
	•		Repurchase of common stock of $6.3 million; and
	•		Financing costs of $6.3 million related to the issuance in August 2005 of $200 million of 8 1/2% Notes due 2015.

Capital Raising Activities

In August 2005, the Company issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8¹/2% senior notes due 2015. The proceeds were used to reduce outstanding balances under the Company’s revolving credit facilities. In October 2005, the operating subsidiaries of Mediacom Broadband LLC, one of the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries, amended the revolving credit portion of their senior secured credit facility to: (i) increase the revolving credit commitment from approximately $543.0 million to approximately $650.5 million, of which approximately $430.3 million is not subject to scheduled reductions prior to the termination date; and (ii) extend the termination date of the commitments not subject to reductions from March 31, 2010 to December 31, 2012.

Financial Position

At September 30, 2005, the Company had total debt outstanding of $3,068.3 million, an increase of $58.7 million since December 31, 2004. As of September 30, 2005, pro forma for the amended revolving credit facility at Mediacom Broadband, the Company had unused credit facilities of $879.2 million, of which $860.5 million could be borrowed and used for general corporate purposes based on the terms and conditions of the Company’s debt arrangements. As of the date of this press release, 71.5% of the Company’s total debt is at fixed interest rates or subject to interest rate protection, and the Company’s weighted average cost of debt capital, including interest rate swap agreements, is 7.2%.

Updated 2005 Guidance

Given current trends in the business and the financial impact of Hurricanes Dennis and Katrina, the Company now expects its financial results for fiscal 2005 to be as follows: revenues of about $1.1 billion; OIBDA of about $408 million, exclusive of any non-cash compensation expense; capital expenditures of about $228 million; and interest expense of about $210 million.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

“OIBDA” and “free cash flow” are not financial measures calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) in the United States. The Company defines free cash flow as OIBDA less interest expense, net, cash taxes and capital expenditures.

OIBDA is one of the primary measures used by management to evaluate the Company’s performance and to forecast future results. The Company believes OIBDA is useful for investors because it enables them to assess the Company’s performance in a manner similar to the method used by management, and provides a measure that can be used to analyze, value and compare the companies in the cable television industry, which may have different depreciation and amortization policies. A limitation of this measure, however, is that it excludes depreciation and amortization, which represents the periodic costs of certain capitalized tangible and intangible assets used in generating revenues in the Company’s business. Management utilizes a separate process to budget, measure and evaluate capital expenditures.

Free cash flow is used by management to evaluate the Company’s ability to service its debt and to fund continued growth with internally generated funds. The Company believes free cash flow is useful for investors because it enables them to assess the Company’s ability to service its debt and to fund continued growth with internally generated funds in a manner similar to the method used by management, and provide measures that can be used to analyze, value and compare companies in the cable television industry. The Company’s definition of free cash flow eliminates the impact of quarterly working capital fluctuations, most notably from the timing of semi-annual cash interest payments on the Company’s senior notes.

OIBDA and free cash flow should not be regarded as alternatives to either operating income, net income or net loss as indicators of operating performance or to the statement of cash flows as measures of liquidity, nor should they be considered in isolation or as substitutes for financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company believes that operating income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to OIBDA, and that net cash flows provided by operating activities is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to free cash flow. Reconciliations of historical presentations of OIBDA and free cash flow to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are provided in Attachment 6.
