------------
Citizens Communications Company (the "Company") announced on June 20, 2006
that it would pursue a new strategy for its Frontier customer operations that
will include consolidating all inbound customer calls to two or three centers
and a Work at Home program nationwide by year-end 2007. The Company will
establish a new Frontier Call Center in Deland, Florida in August 2006 and is
reviewing options regarding the locations of the second and third call centers.
A copy of the Company's press release issued on June 20, 2006 announcing this
new strategy is filed herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by

The Company timely submitted its 2005 annual Chief Executive Officer

The Company will include the required disclosure in future annual reports, to
the extent required.
