                Description of Transaction and Public Interest Statement

Cablevision of Hudson County LLC (the “Licensee”) hereby submits the attached
notification of pro forma transfer of control. The Licensee is an indirect wholly-owned
subsidiary of Cablevision Systems Corporation (“Cablevision” or the “Company”).1/
Cablevision converted its direct wholly-owned subsidiary, CSC Holdings, Inc. from a
corporation to a limited liability company, CSC Holdings LLC. This was merely a
change in corporate form. The ownership of CSC Holdings LLC is identical to the
ownership of what was CSC Holdings, Inc., and there has been no change in the
management or operations of Cablevision in connection with the transaction. The
transfer of control of Cablevision of Hudson County LLC therefore requires only pro
forma notification.2/




1/       Please note that the Licensee may be listed in the FCC’s database as Cablevision of
Hudson County, Inc. On November 24, 2009, we submitted a notification of pro forma
assignment of all authorizations previously held by Cablevision of Hudson County, Inc. to
Cablevision of Hudson County LLC (IBFS file number IB2009007646). Accordingly, this
notification gives effect to the notification submitted on November 24, 2009.
2/
         See, e.g., 47 C.F.R. § 63.03(d) (defining pro forma transfers to include “corporate
reorganization which involves no substantial change in the beneficial ownership of the
corporation” and “assignment or transfer from a corporation to a wholly owned subsidiary thereof
or vice versa, or where there is an assignment from a corporation to a corporation owned or
controlled by the assignor stockholders without substantial change in their interests”), 47 C.F.R. §
73.3540(f) (listing pro forma transactions under broadcast ownership rules); Non-Substantial
Assignments of Wireless Licenses, 13 FCC Rcd 6293, 6297-99 (1998) (discussing the distinction
between substantial and pro forma transfers of control, the lack of a bright-line test, and the
Commission’s reliance for guidance upon the corpus of decisions under its broadcast ownership
rules); Committee for Full Value of Storer Communications, Inc. for Consent to Transfer of
Control, 101 FCC 2d 434, ¶¶ 30-31 (discussing generally the Commission’s treatment of pro
forma transfers of control).
