Deregistration of Securities

This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-107666) (the “Registration Statement”) filed on August 5, 2003 with the Securities and Exchange Commission by Insight Communications Company, Inc. (the “Registrant”). The Registration Statement registered for issuance, pursuant to the Insight Communications Company, Inc. 1999 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), 2,550,000 shares of common stock, $0.01 par value, of the Registrant.

On December 16, 2005, pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of July 28, 2005, between the Registrant and Insight Acquisition Corp. (“Insight Acquisition”), Insight Acquisition was merged with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, each share of Class A common stock of the Registrant (other than shares held by Insight Acquisition and stockholders who have perfected their appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive $11.75 in cash.

The Registrant hereby removes from registration, by means of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1, any and all shares of common stock registered under the Registration Statement that have not been issued prior to the Merger.
