       AMERICA ONLINE, INC. AND TIME WARNER INC. SEEK FCC CONSENT FOR A
                        PROPOSED TRANSFER OF CONTROL
                              CS DOCKET NO. 00-30


Petitions/Comments due: April 26, 2000
Oppositions/Responses due: May 11, 2000


        On February 11, 2000, America Online, Inc. (AOL) and Time Warner Inc. (Time Warner) filed
joint applications under Sections 214 and 310(d) of the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 214, 310(d),
requesting Commission approval of the transfer of control to AOL Time Warner of licenses and
authorizations controlled by AOL and by Time Warner or its affiliates or subsidiaries. On March 21,
2000, the parties supplied the Commission with a supplemental public interest statement.1 This transfer of
control would take place as the result of the proposed merger of AOL and Time Warner, following which
both AOL and Time Warner would become wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed holding
company, AOL Time Warner. The ultimate ownership and control of those entities holding licenses and
authorizations would be transferred from AOL and Time Warner to AOL Time Warner.

         AOL and Time Warner submit that the public interest will benefit from the proposed transaction
which will combine the strengths of the two companies to build an integrated media and communications
company capable of enhancing consumers’ access to the broadest selection of high-quality content and
interactive services.

       Interested parties may file comments or petitions to deny the applications no later than April 26,
2000. Oppositions or responses to these comments and petitions may be filed no later than May 11, 2000.

        For administrative convenience, the various applications listed below have been consolidated into
one general docket. The Cable Services Bureau will have primary responsibility for reviewing the
applications. All filings regarding any aspect of the proposed merger should reference the Cable Services
docket assigned to this proceeding, CS Docket No. 00-30.



   1
    On March 6, 2000, FCC General Counsel Christopher Wright requested that AOL and Time Warner amend
their filing by providing additional information necessary to substantiate claims made in the February 11 public
interest statement, so that the public may have a more meaningful opportunity to comment.


                               EX PARTE STATUS OF THIS PROCEEDING

          Because this proceeding involves broad public policy issues, the Cable Services Bureau will treat
the proceeding as "permit but disclose" for purposes of the Commission's ex parte rules. See generally 47
C.F.R. §§ 1.1200-1.1216. Should circumstances warrant, the Bureau may designate this proceeding and
all interrelated proceedings as restricted. As a "permit but disclose" proceeding, ex parte presentations will
be governed by the procedures set forth in Section 1.1206 of the Commission's rules applicable to non-
                        2
restricted proceedings.

         Parties making oral ex parte presentations are reminded that memoranda summarizing the
presentation must contain a summary of the substance of the presentation and not merely a listing of the
subjects discussed. More than a one or two sentence description of the views and arguments presented is
generally required. See 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(2), as revised. Other rules pertaining to oral and written
presentations are set forth in Section 1.1206 (b) as well. Interested parties are to file with the Commission
Secretary, Magalie Roman Salas, 445 12th Street, S.W., TW B204, Washington, D.C. 20554, and serve
James Bird, Office of General Counsel, 445 12th Street, S.W., 8-C818, Washington, D.C. 20554, To-
Quyen Truong, Associate Chief, Cable Services Bureau, 445 12th Street, S.W., 3-C488, Washington, D.C.
20554, Royce Dickens, Cable Services Bureau, 445 12th Street, S.W., 3-A729, Washington, D.C. 20554,
Linda Senecal, Cable Services Bureau, 445 12th Street, S.W., 3-A734, Washington, D.C. 20554, and
International Transcription Service, Inc., 1231 20th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, with copies of
any written ex parte presentations in these proceedings filed in the manner specified above.

                           TRANSFER OF CONTROL APPLICATIONS

         The applications for transfer of control of Time Warner’s and AOL’s authorizations and licenses
to AOL Time Warner include numerous Commission authorizations and licenses. Attached is a list of the
authorizations and licenses involved in this transaction. They are separated by type of authorization and
license, and, within each category, by the subsidiary or affiliate that holds the authorization or license.
Each subsidiary or affiliate may hold multiple authorizations or licenses of a particular type. Interested
parties should refer to the transfer of control applications for a listing of the authorizations or licenses.
Parties should be aware that additional applications may have to be filed to identify any additional
authorizations in the services noted. AOL and Time Warner have requested that grant of the applications
listed herein include the authority for AOL Time Warner to acquire control of: (1) any authorization issued
to AOL or Time Warner or subsidiaries and affiliates during the Commission's consideration of the transfer
of control applications and the period required for consummation of the transaction following Commission
approval; (2) construction permits held by licensees involved in this transfer of control that mature into
licenses after closing and that may have been omitted from the transfer of control applications; and (3)
applications that will have been filed by such licensees and that are pending at the time of consummation of
the proposed transfer of control.


   2
    An ex parte presentation is any communication (spoken or written) directed to the merits or outcome of a
proceeding made to a Commissioner, a Commissioner's assistant, or other decision-making staff member, that, if
written, is not served on other parties to the proceeding or, if oral, is made without an opportunity for all parties to
be present. 47 C.F.R. Sec. 1.1201.
