The pressures of dealing with auditors and late financial statements have
apparently forced beleaguered Adelphia Communications Corp. chief financial
officer Tim Rigas to drop plans to moderate a May 6 finance panel at the
National Show.

According to the National Cable & Telecommunications Association, Comcast
Corp. vice chairman Julian Brodsky will replace Rigas in moderating 'Dollars
& Sense: Wall Street Looks at Cable.'

At press time, Adelphia senior vice president of operations Ann Montgomery
was still scheduled to moderate a May 7 panel.

However, according to one source, Montgomery recently tore her anterior
cruciate ligament, which could prevent her from heading the
session.
