                                                      Cablevision of Hudson County LLC
                                              Notification of Assignment of Authorization
                                                                          FCC Form 312
                                                                                Exhibit 1

               Description of Transaction and Public Interest Statement

        Cablevision of Hudson County LLC (“CHL”) hereby submits the attached
application notifying the FCC of the pro forma assignment, which has already occurred,
of the referenced authorization (the “License”) from Cablevision of Hudson County, Inc.
(“CHI”).

        CHL, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation
(“Cablevision”),1/ uses the License in support of its provision of cable television services.
On June 23, 2009, for tax reasons, Cablevision converted CHI from a corporation to a
limited liability company. That conversion has, therefore, already occurred. While the
ownership of CHL remained the same, such a change in corporate form is treated as a pro
forma assignment under the Commission’s rules.2/ As a result of a clerical oversight,
however, no application for approval of the assignment was filed with the Commission.
CHL now wishes to correct this oversight.




1/
        Cablevision is ultimately owned and controlled by the Dolan family.
2/
         The FCC generally relies on Part 63 of its rules to determine how applications for, and
notifications of, transfers and assignments should be treated. See Skyport Global
Communications, Inc., Apparent Liability for Forfeiture, 24 FCC Rcd 3714 (2009). Pursuant to
section 63.24(d), pro forma assignments include “[a]ssignment from a corporation to a
corporation owned or controlled by the assignor stockholders without substantial change in their
interests.” 47 C.F.R. § 62.24(d) (note 2).
