                   Description of Transaction and Public Interest Statement

Cablevision of Litchfield, Inc. (“Applicant”) hereby notifies the Federal Communications
Commission (“FCC”) of the pro forma assignment of one receive-only satellite earth station (call
sign E861035) referenced in the attached application held by Cablevision of Connecticut LP
(“Licensee”).

The Licensee was dissolved on July 20, 2011, and its assets were merged with the Applicant on
that date. The ownership of the Assignee is identical to the ownership of the Licensee, and there
has been no change in the management or operations of the Licensee in connection with the
transaction. The Licensee was, and the Applicant is, a wholly owned, indirect subsidiary of
Cablevision Systems Corporation (“Cablevision”). The assignment of the Licensee therefore
requires only pro forma approval.1/ This pro forma assignment is in the public interest because it
will ensure that the Applicant will be able to continue to use the licensed facilities in support of
critical operational functions for delivery of quality service and innovative products to its
customers.

         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).
