Item 1. Security and Issuer
This Amendment No. 11 to Schedule 13D on the Class B
Common Stock of Gray Communications Systems, Inc. (the "Issuer") is
being filed on behalf of the undersigned to amend the Schedule 13D,
as amended (the "Schedule 13D") which was originally filed on
September 26, 1996. Unless otherwise indicated, all capitalized
terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the same
meaning as set forth in the Schedule 13D.
Item 2. Identity and Background
This statement is being filed by Mario J. Gabelli ("Mr.
Gabelli") and various entities which he directly or indirectly
controls or for which he acts as chief investment officer. These
entities, except for Lynch Corporation ("Lynch"), Spinnaker
Industries, Incorporated ("Spinnaker"), Western New Mexico
Telephone Company ("Western New Mexico"), Entoleter, Inc. ("Entole-
ter"), Lynch Telecommunications Corporation ("Lynch Telecom"),
Lynch Telephone Corporation ("Lynch Telephone") and Inter-Community
Telephone Company ("Inter-Community") (collectively, "Lynch and its
affiliates"), engage in various aspects of the securities business,
primarily as investment adviser to various institutional and
individual clients, including registered investment companies and
pension plans, as broker/dealer and as general partner of various
private investment partnerships. Certain of these entities may
also make investments for their own accounts.
The foregoing persons in the aggregate often own
beneficially more than 5% of a class of equity securities of a
particular issuer. Although several of the foregoing persons are
treated as institutional investors for purposes of reporting their
beneficial ownership on the short-form Schedule 13G, the holdings
of those who do not qualify as institutional investors may exceed
the 1% threshold presented for filing on Schedule 13G or implemen-
tation of their investment philosophy may from time to time require
action which could be viewed as not completely passive. In order
to avoid any question as to whether their beneficial ownership is
being reported on the proper form and in order to provide greater
investment flexibility and administrative uniformity, these persons
have decided to file their beneficial ownership reports on the more
detailed Schedule 13D form rather than on the short-form Schedule
13G and thereby to provide more expansive disclosure than may be
necessary.
(a), (b) and (c) - This statement is being filed by one
or more of the following persons: Gabelli Funds, Inc. ("GFI"),
GAMCO Investors, Inc. ("GAMCO"), Gabelli Securities, Inc. ("GSI"),
Gabelli & Company, Inc. ("Gabelli & Company"), Gabelli Performance
Partnership L.P. ("GPP"), GLI, Inc. ("GLI"), Gabelli Associates
Fund ("Gabelli Associates"), Gabelli Associates Limited ("GAL"),
Gabelli & Company, Inc. Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan"), Gabelli
International Limited ("GIL"), Gabelli International II Limited
("GIL II"), Gabelli International Gold Fund Limited ("GIGFL"), ALCE
Partners, L.P. ("ALCE"), Gabelli Multimedia Partners, L.P.
("Multimedia Partners"), Gabelli Asset Management Company Interna-
tional Advisory Services Ltd. ("GIASL"),Gabelli Foundation, Inc.

and desist from violating Section 15(f) of the 1934 Act and Section
204A of the Advisers Act, respectively. They further agreed to
each pay a civil penalty in the amount of $50,000, and to retain,

event, the Proxy Voting Committee of each of the Funds shall
respectively vote that Fund's shares, and except that, at any time,
the Proxy Voting Committee of each such Fund may take and exercise
in its sole discretion the entire voting power with respect to the
shares held by such Fund under special circumstances such as
regulatory considerations, and except that the power of Mr. Gabelli
and GFI is indirect with respect to Securities beneficially owned
