     This Amendment No. 1 supplements and amends in certain respects the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) by John W. Stanton and Theresa E. Gillespie (the “Reporting Persons”) on March 12, 2007 (the “Original Schedule 13D”) with respect to the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “Company Securities”) of General Communication, Inc. (the “Issuer”).
Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
     Item 3 of the Original Schedule 13D is amended and supplemented by the addition of the following:
     On November 9-14, 2007 the Reporting Persons purchased 967,205 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer with personal funds in open market transactions for an aggregate of $9,010,405.16 (including commissions).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer
     Items 5(a) and (b) of the Original Schedule 13D are amended and restated, and Item 5(c) is amended and supplemented, as follows:
     (a) and (b) The Reporting Persons, as tenants in common or joint tenants with right of survivorship, beneficially own and have shared voting and dispositve power with respect to 1,275,791 shares of Class B Common Stock (representing approximately 39.2% of the outstanding Class B Common Stock) and 2,242,996 shares of Class A Common Stock (representing approximately 4.4% of the outstanding Class A Common Stock), including the 1,275,791 shares of Class A Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the above-mentioned Class B Common Stock.
     The above percentages are based on 49,957,484 shares of Class A Common Stock and 3,256,623 shares of Class B Common Stock outstanding on October 31, 2007, as disclosed in the Issuer’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed on November 6, 2007.
     Class B Common Stock is convertible at any time on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock. The numbers of shares of Class A Common Stock disclosed in this Item 5 assume that the shares of Class B Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons have been fully converted into shares of Class A Common Stock.
     In addition, each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share and each share of Class A Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share. Accordingly, when these classes of stock are aggregated, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to currently beneficially own voting equity securities representing approximately 16.6% of the voting power with respect to a general election of directors of the Issuer.
     (c) On November 9-14, 2007 the Reporting Persons made the following purchases of Class A Common Stock in the open market in numerous transactions through various vendors (including electronic communication networks):
