Answer to Question 11: Question 11 asks whether any entity, directly or indirectly, owns at least ten (10) percent of the equity in of the Transferee as determined by Section 63.18(h) of the Commission’s rules. On April 8, 2010, Cablevision System Corporation (“Cablevision”) filed a Proxy Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), which contained information concerning stock ownership as of March 31, 2010.1/ As of that date, the only entity that beneficially owned 10% or more of the combined voting interest of any class of stock of Cablevision was a group comprised of Charles F. Dolan and his family, which collectively beneficially owned 69.5% voting interest in CVC. Members of the Dolan family have formed a “group” for purposes of Section 13D of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Dolan Family Group”).2/ The members of this group, all of whom are United States citizens, are: Charles F. Dolan, individually and as a trustee of the Charles F. Dolan 2009 Revocable Trust (the CFD 2009 Trust”), the Charles F. Dolan 2008 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust #2 (the “2008 GRAT #2”), the Charles F. Dolan 2009 Grantor Retained Annuity Trust #1 (the “2009 GRAT #1”), the Charles F.

Dolan, as a co-trustee of the Dolan Children Trusts fbo Deborah A. Dolan-Sweeney and Patrick F. Dolan.3/ Answer to Question 13: Question 13 requests a narrative of the means by which the proposed transfer of control will take place. On June 13, 2010, BBHI Holdings LLC (“Holdings Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company, BBHI Acquisition LLC (“Acquisition Sub”), a Delaware limited liability company, and CSC Holdings, LLC (“CSC Holdings”), a Delaware limited liability company, each of which are wholly owned subsidiaries of Cablevision Systems Corporation (“Cablevision”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (“Merger Agreement) with Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC (“Bresnan Holdings”), and Providence Equity Bresnan Cable LLC. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Holdings Sub has agreed to acquire Bresnan Holdings and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Bresnan”), including all the Licensees, on the terms set forth in the Merger Agreement. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the closing the Acquisition Sub will merge with and into Bresnan Holdings, with Bresnan Holdings being the surviving limited liability company. Bresnan Holdings will become a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Holdings Sub and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Cablevision. Because Licensees are a wholly owned, indirect subsidiaries of Bresnan Holdings, Licensees will, as a result of the transaction, become an indirect wholly owned subsidiaries of Cablevision. The closing is expected to occur after all necessary regulatory approvals have been obtained. On July 1, 2010, Bresnan Digital filed applications with the FCC’s Wireline Competition and International Bureaus to seek approval for a transfer of control stemming from the November 2009 death of William J. Bresnan, which affected an involuntary transfer of control of Bresnan Digital’s corporate parent, Bresnan Holdings, from Mr. Bresnan to the William J. Bresnan Revocable Trust (“Bresnan Trust”). Prior to his death, Mr. Bresnan was the 100 percent owner of Bresnan Communications, Inc. (“BCI”), which, pursuant to a Management Agreement with corporate parent, Bresnan Holdings, was responsible for the day-to-day management and control of Bresnan Holdings and its subsidiaries, including Licensees. The applications filed were to requesting approval to transfer control of the Licensees from Mr. Bresnan to the Bresnan Trust. Bresnan also filed requests for Special Temporary Authority with each of these Bureaus while the transfer of control requests are pending. 3/ See footnote 3 to the Stock Ownership Table.

Answer to Question 20: Applicant, Cablevision Systems Corporation requests streamlined processing for this application as provided in 47 C.F.R. § 63.12. The application qualifies for streamlined treatment with respect to Licensees’ international authorizations pursuant to 47 C.F.R. § 63.12(c)(1) because neither Applicant is affiliated with a foreign carrier in a destination market and neither Applicant has an affiliation with a dominant U.S. carrier whose international services Applicants seeks to resell.
