             Citizens Communications Company Appoints New Treasurer

Stamford,  Conn., August 22, 2007 -- Citizens  Communications Company (NYSE:CZN)

2007 as Senior Vice  President and Treasurer.  He succeeds  Donald Armour who is
retiring from Citizens as of September 14, 2007.

Most  recently,  Mr.  Whitehouse was Treasurer of  International  Paper Company,
which he joined in 2001.  Before  that,  he was a Senior  Manager  of  Corporate
Finance for Ernst & Young,  LLP and before that,  an Associate at J. P. Morgan &
Co., Inc. and a Financial Analyst at General Electric Capital Corporation.

A graduate of The  Pennsylvania  State  University  with a B.S. in Finance,  Mr.

successful  receipt of proceeds from the liquidation of the Rural Telephone Bank
