On July 23, 2004, the Bureau approved a similar proforma transfer of control of six space station authorizations held by Rainbow DBS (File No. SAT—T/C—20040630—00902). The transfer applications were necessitated by the planned transfer of certain assets, including RainbowDBS and RNC, from Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Cablevision") to Rainbow Media Enterprises, Inc. (°RME"), and the spinoff ofRME tothe existing sharcholders of Cablevision. On December 20, 2004, the Board of Directors of Cablevision voted to suspend the spinoffof RME to the sharcholders of Cablevision. On January 5, 2005, Rainbow DBS and RNC notified the Commission that the spin had beensuspended. ‘The purpose of this letter is to clarify that, pursuant to the Commission‘s approval, on August 13, 2004, Cablevision consummated the transfer oflicenses to RME, but did not take the second step of spinning o RME to the existing sharcholders ofCablevision. Accordingly, Rainbow DBS and RNC are now wholly—owned subsidiaries of RME, and RME remains a wholly—owned subsidiary of Washington Boston New York Reston New Haven
