State below in reasonable detail why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, N-SAR, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.

General Communication, Inc. (“GCI”) could not file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2008 (the “Form 10-Q”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission within the prescribed time period without unreasonable effort or expense in light of the circumstances described below. On November 5, 2008, GCI issued a press release announcing its preliminary financial results for the quarter ended September 30, 2008, and furnished the results to the Securities and Exchange Commission on a current report on Form 8-K (the “Earnings Release”). As was disclosed in the Earnings Release, GCI is determining the effect of an error in calculating depreciation on certain fixed assets expected to be taken out of service before the end of their previously estimated useful life. Due to the additional time required for GCI to determine the effect of this error and to prepare its financial statements and the Form 10-Q based upon this determination, GCI could not file its quarterly report on Form 10-Q by the November 10, 2008 filing deadline. However, it intends to file the Form 10-Q within the five day filing extension period.
