ITEM 8.01   OTHER EVENTS

      It has come to PRIMEDIA Inc.'s attention that the EDGAR
      submission on March 15, 2004 of its Annual Report on Form 10-K
      for the year ended December 31, 2003 inadvertently omitted
      certain company officers' and directors' signatures, which
      timely and properly had been obtained. Accordingly, on
      September 23, 2004, PRIMEDIA Inc. filed a Form 10-K/A with the
      Securities and Exchange Commission for the sole, ministerial
      purpose of amending its original filing to include these
      signatures. No other changes of any kind have been made to the
      original filing.
