SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION


Issuer Delisting; Notice of Application to Withdraw From Listing 
and Registration; (MDC Communications Corporation, Class A Subordinate 
Voting Shares, No Par Value) File No. 1-13718

October 20, 1998.
    MDC Communications Corporation (``Company'') has filed an 
application with the Securities and Exchange Commission 
(``Commission''), pursuant to Section 12(d) of the Securities Act of 
1934 (``Act'') and Rule 12d2-2(d) promulgated thereunder, to withdraw 
the above specified security (``Security'') from listing and 
registration on the American Stock Exchange, Inc. (``Amex'' or 
``Exchange'').
    The reasons cited in the application for withdrawing the Security 
from listing and registration include the following:
    On September 24, 1998, the Board of Directors of the Company 
approved a resolution to withdraw the Security from listing on the Amex 
and to list the Security on the Nasdaq. On October 1, 1998, the Company 
commenced trading on the Nasdaq. The Company believes that a listing on 
the Nasdaq will offer the Company greater market visibility in its 
industry and will provide the Company's shareholders with greater 
liquidity.
    The Company has complied with the rules of the Amex by notifying 
the Exchange of intention to withdraw its Security from listing on the 
Exchange by letter dated September 21, 1998. Also enclosed with that 
letter was a draft copy of the Board resolution approving the 
delisting. A certified copy of the resolutions was sent to Amex on 
September 24, 1998.
    By letter dated September 25, 1998, the Exchange notified the 
Company that Amex had no objection to the withdrawal of the Company's 
Security from listing and registration on the Exchange.
    Any interested person may, on or before November 10, 1998, submit 
by letter to the Secretary of the Securities and Exchange Commission, 
450 Fifth Street, NW, Washington, DC 20549, facts bearing upon whether 
the application has been made in accordance with the rules of the 
Exchange and what terms, if any, should be imposed by the Commission or 
the protection of investors. The Commission, based on the information 
submitted to it, will issue an order granting the application after the 
date mentioned above, unless the Commission determines to order a 
hearing on the matter.

    For the Commission, by the Division of Market Regulation, 
pursuant to delegated authority.
Jonathan G. Katz,
Secretary.
