If the subject report could not be filed without unreasonable effort or expense

          a)   The reasons  described in  reasonable  detail in Part III of this
               form could not be eliminated |_| ( without unreasonable effort or
               expense;
[_]       b)   The subject annual report,  semi-annual report, transition report
               on Form  10-K,  Form  20-F,  Form  11-K,  Form  N-SAR or  portion
               thereof,  will be filed on or before the  fifteenth  calendar day
               following  the  prescribed  due date;  or the  subject  quarterly
               report or  transition  report on Form 10-Q,  or portion  thereof,
               will be filed on or before the fifth calendar day following the (
               prescribed due date; and
          c)   The  accountant's  statement  or other  exhibit  required by Rule
               12b-25(c) has been attached if ( applicable.

PART III--NARRATIVE

State below in reasonable  detail the reasons why Forms 10-K,  20-F, 11-K, 10-Q,
N-SAR, or the transition report or portion thereof could not be filed within the
prescribed period. (Attach Extra Sheets if Needed)

     Metromedia International Group, Inc. (the "Registrant") is unable to timely
file its Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarter ended  September
30, 2005 due to the  additional  time and effort that has been  required for the
Registrant to restate its previously issued financial  statements as of December
31, 2003 and for the years  ended  December  31, 2003 and 2002 and the  quarters
ended March 31, June 30 and September 30, 2004 and 2003 and prepare and finalize
the Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year  ended  December  31,  2004 and its
Quarterly  Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarters ended March 31, 2005 and
June 30, 2005 and for the finance teams of the Registrant's Magticom and Georgia
Telecom  business  ventures to prepare,  finalize and submit their third quarter
U.S. GAAP financial results to the Registrant's  corporate  financial team. As a
result of the delay in the filing of the Form 10-K and the delay in the  receipt
of the Magticom and Telecom  Georgia third quarter U.S. GAAP financial  results,
the  Registrant's  corporate  finance team has not been able to begin the review
and  analysis  of the  Magticom  and Telecom  Georgia  third  quarter  financial
results,   and  as  such,  has  not  been  able  to  finalize  the  Registrant's
consolidated  financial  statements and management's  discussion and analysis of
the  Registrant's  financial  condition and results of operations for the fiscal
quarter ended September 30, 2005.

     The  Registrant  anticipates  that it will  file its Form 10-K for the year
ended  December  31, 2004 before the end of December  31, 2005 and will file its
quarterly  reports on Form 10-Q for the fiscal  quarters  ended March 31,  2005,
June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 as soon as possible, most likely during the
first quarter of 2006.





PART IV--OTHER INFORMATION

     notification

         Harold F. Pyle, III                  704               321-7380
- ---------------------------------------  -------------    ----------------------
               (Name)                     (Area Code)       (Telephone Number)

(2)  Have all other periodic  reports  required under Section 13 or 15(d) of the
     Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or Section 30 of the Investment Company Act
     of 1940 during the preceding 12 months or for such shorter  period that the
     registrant was required to file such report(s) been filed? If answer is no,
     identify report(s). |_| Yes |X| No


     The  Registrant  has been unable to fully  complete the  preparation of its
     consolidated  financial  statements and footnote disclosures for the annual
     audit, as required for the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
     fiscal year ended December 31, 2004 and its Quarterly  Reports on Form 10-Q
     for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2005 and June 30, 2005.

     The  Registrant  has also failed to timely file with the SEC the  financial
     information of Magticom  required under Item 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K in
     respect of the Registrant's purchase of an additional interest in Magticom,
     as previously announced by the Registrant in a press release dated February
     15, 2005. The Registrant  will file such financial  information by amending
     the  Registrant's  February  17,  2005 Form 8-K on or  around  the date the
     Registrant files its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2004.

     The  Registrant  has also failed to timely file with the SEC the  financial
     information of Magticom  required under Item 9.01(a) and (b) of Form 8-K in
     respect of the Registrant's purchase of an additional interest in Magticom,
     as  previously  announced  by  the  Registrant  in a  press  release  dated
     September 15, 2005. The Registrant will file such financial  information by
     amending the  Registrant's  September 19, 2005 Form 8-K as soon as possible
     after the date the Registrant files its Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
     December 31, 2004.

(3)  Is it anticipated that any significant change in results of operations from
     the corresponding  period for the last fiscal year will be reflected by the
     earnings  statements  to be  included  in the  subject  report  or  portion
     thereof? |X| Yes |_| No

     If so: attach an explanation of the anticipated  change,  both  narratively
     and quantitatively, and, if appropriate, state the reasons why a reasonable
     estimate of the results cannot be made.

The  Registrant's  corporate  finance team has not been able to begin its review
and  analysis  of the  Magticom  and Telecom  Georgia  third  quarter  financial
results,  and as such,  the  Registrant is not able to determine an  appropriate
reasonable  estimate of the results of the Registrant's  consolidated  financial
statements.  Furthermore,  the Registrant  increased its ownership  interests in
Magticom and Telecom  Georgia during the first quarter of 2005,  disposed of its
interests in  PeterStar,  redeemed the  outstanding  Senior  Discount  Notes and
further increased its ownership interest in Magticom during the third quarter of
2005 and the  Registrant  has not  completed  its analysis of the impact of such
activities on its consolidated financial statements.
