I.         INTRODUCTION

         Time Warner Incorporated (TWX) and its wholly owned subsidiaries collectively control Time
Warner Cable (TWC). TWX will conduct an internal restructuring, followed by a spin-off or split-off of
TWC into a separate publicly traded corporation. In connection with this transaction, Time Warner has
filed a series of applications pursuant to Section 310(d) of the Communications Act, as amended.1 In
these applications, Time Warner seeks Commission approval of the transfer of control of licenses and
authorizations held by Time Warner Incorporated and its subsidiaries to Time Warner Cable.2

         Under the proposed Separation Transaction, all of Time Warner’s current Commission-
authorized licenses related to its cable business will be ultimately controlled by the public shareholders
of TWC, rather than TWX. As an initial matter, shares in TWC will be distributed to the shareholders of
TWX through either a spin-off or split-off transaction. If a spin-off is elected, TWX will distribute to all
of its shareholders a pro rata number of shares of TWC. If a split-off is elected, TWX will offer its
shareholders the opportunity to exchange their shares of TWX stock for a specified number of shares of
TWC stock. Following the split-off, any shares of TWC not distributed pursuant to the exchange would
be distributed on a pro rata basis to all TWX shareholders. The transaction is described in detail in the
Description of the Transaction filed with the Commission and in the Separation Agreement filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.3

         These assignment and transfer of control applications pertain specifically to Cable Television
Relay Service (“CARS”) licenses issued under Part 78 of the Commission’s Rules, Ku-band transmit
earth station licenses issued under Part 25 of the Commission’s Rules, land mobile radio licenses issued
under Part 90 of the Commission’s Rules, and point-to-point microwave licenses issued under Part 101 of
the Commission’s Rules. See Appendix for a complete list of licenses.

II.         EX PARTE STATUS OF THIS PROCEEDING

        Pursuant to Section 1.1200(a) of the Commission’s rules,4 the Commission may adopt modified
or more stringent ex parte procedures in particular proceedings if the public interest so requires. We
announce that this proceeding will be governed by permit-but-disclose ex parte procedures that are
applicable to non-restricted proceedings under Section 1.1206 of the Commission’s rules.5

        Parties making oral ex parte presentations are directed to the Commission’s statement
reemphasizing the public’s responsibility in permit-but-disclose proceedings and are reminded that
memoranda summarizing the presentation must contain the presentation’s substance and not merely list the
subjects discussed.6 More than a one- or two-sentence description of the views and arguments presented is
generally required.7 Other rules pertaining to oral and written presentations are set forth in Section
1.1206(b) as well.8 We urge parties to use the Electronic Comment Filing System (“ECFS”) to file ex parte
submissions.9


III.        GENERAL INFORMATION

         The transfer of control applications referenced herein have been found, upon initial review, to be
acceptable for filing. The Commission reserves the right to return any application if, upon further
examination, it is determined to be defective and not in conformance with the Commission’s rules or
policies. Final action on these applications will not be taken earlier than thirty-one days following the
date of this Public Notice.10

         Interested parties must file petitions to deny or comments no later than July 31, 2008. Persons
and entities that file petitions to deny become parties to the proceeding. They may participate fully in the
proceeding, including seeking access to any confidential information that may be filed under a protective
order, seeking reconsideration of decisions, and filing appeals of a final decision to the courts.
Oppositions to such pleadings and reply comments must be filed no later than August 15, 2008. All
filings concerning matters referenced in this Public Notice should refer to DA 08-1574 and MB Docket
No. 08-120, as well as the specific file numbers of the individual applications or other matters to which
the filings pertain.
