                                   PART II

             INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

   ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

        The following documents filed by the Registrant are incorporated
   herein by reference:

        (a)  The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-12B (File
             No. 001-35106) filed on March 17, 2011, as amended,
             including the description of the Registrant's Common Stock
             contained therein, and any amendment or report filed for the
             purpose of updating such description.

        (b)  The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June
             20, 2011.

        All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
   Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
   1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
   indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
   deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to
   be incorporated by reference herein to be a part hereof from the date
   of filing of such documents.

   ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

        Not applicable.

   ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not applicable.

   ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
   a corporation may indemnify any current or former director, officer or
   employee or other individual against expenses, judgments, fines and
   amounts paid in settlement in connection with civil, criminal,
   administrative or investigative actions or proceedings, other than a
   derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if the
   director, officer, employee or other individual acted in good faith
   and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
   to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
   criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to
   believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  A similar standard is
   applicable  in the case of derivative actions, except that
   indemnification only extends to expenses incurred in connection with
   the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires
   court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
   person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the

                                      3







   corporation.  The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
   indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's by-laws,
   disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

        The Registrant's certificate of incorporation will provide that
   each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to
   any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a
   person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a
   director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the
   Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
   another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
   enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
   will be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest
   extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
   exists or may hereafter be amended.  Such rights are not exclusive of
   any other right which any person may have or thereafter acquire under
   any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law,
   agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
   otherwise.  The Registrant's certificate of incorporation will also
   specifically authorize the Registrant to maintain insurance and to
   grant similar indemnification rights to its employees or agents.

        A Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Cablevision
   Systems Corporation provides for indemnification by the Registrant of
   Cablevision Systems Corporation and its directors, officers and
   employees and by Cablevision Systems Corporation of the Registrant and
   its directors, officers and employees for some liabilities, including
   liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
   Exchange Act of 1934.  The amount of these indemnity obligations is
   unlimited.

   ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

        Not applicable.

   ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

        The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein
   are set forth in the Exhibit Index filed as part of this Registration
   Statement.

   ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
   being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

             (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
        of the Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events

                                      4







        arising after the effective date of the registration statement
        (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
        individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
        in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

             (iii)     To include any material information with respect
        to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
        registration statement or any material change to such information
        in the registration statement;

   provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
   information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
   those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
   furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
   or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
   by reference in the registration statement.

        (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
   at the termination of the offering.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
   of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
   filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
   applicable, each filing of the Plan's annual report pursuant to
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
   incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
   is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
   such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
   incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
   Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
   proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
   person in connection with the securities being registered, the
   Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
   been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of

                                      5







   appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
   it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
   governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

             INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

   ITEM 3.   INCORPORATION OF DOCUMENTS BY REFERENCE.

        The following documents filed by the Registrant are incorporated
   herein by reference:

        (a)  The Registrant's Registration Statement on Form 10-12B (File
             No. 001-35106) filed on March 17, 2011, as amended,
             including the description of the Registrant's Common Stock
             contained therein, and any amendment or report filed for the
             purpose of updating such description.

        (b)  The Registrant's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June
             20, 2011.

        All documents subsequently filed by the Registrant pursuant to
   Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 and 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of
   1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which
   indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which
   deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to
   be incorporated by reference herein to be a part hereof from the date
   of filing of such documents.

   ITEM 4.   DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES.

        Not applicable.

   ITEM 5.  INTERESTS OF NAMED EXPERTS AND COUNSEL.

        Not applicable.

   ITEM 6.  INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

        Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that
   a corporation may indemnify any current or former director, officer or
   employee or other individual against expenses, judgments, fines and
   amounts paid in settlement in connection with civil, criminal,
   administrative or investigative actions or proceedings, other than a
   derivative action by or in the right of the corporation, if the
   director, officer, employee or other individual acted in good faith
   and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
   to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any
   criminal action or proceeding, if he or she had no reasonable cause to
   believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  A similar standard is
   applicable  in the case of derivative actions, except that
   indemnification only extends to expenses incurred in connection with
   the defense or settlement of such actions, and the statute requires
   court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
   person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the

                                      3

   corporation.  The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
   indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's by-laws,
   disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or otherwise.

        The Registrant's certificate of incorporation will provide that
   each person who was or is made or is threatened to be made a party to
   any action or proceeding by reason of the fact that such person, or a
   person of whom such person is the legal representative, is or was a
   director or officer of the Registrant or is or was serving at the
   Registrant's request as a director, officer, employee or agent of
   another corporation or of a partnership, joint venture, trust or other
   enterprise, including service with respect to employee benefit plans,
   will be indemnified and held harmless by the Registrant to the fullest
   extent authorized by the Delaware General Corporation Law, as the same
   exists or may hereafter be amended.  Such rights are not exclusive of
   any other right which any person may have or thereafter acquire under
   any statute, provision of the certificate of incorporation, by-law,
   agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or
   otherwise.  The Registrant's certificate of incorporation will also
   specifically authorize the Registrant to maintain insurance and to
   grant similar indemnification rights to its employees or agents.

        A Distribution Agreement between the Registrant and Cablevision
   Systems Corporation provides for indemnification by the Registrant of
   Cablevision Systems Corporation and its directors, officers and
   employees and by Cablevision Systems Corporation of the Registrant and
   its directors, officers and employees for some liabilities, including
   liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities
   Exchange Act of 1934.  The amount of these indemnity obligations is
   unlimited.

   ITEM 7.   EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION CLAIMED.

        Not applicable.

   ITEM 8.   EXHIBITS.

        The exhibits filed herewith or incorporated by reference herein
   are set forth in the Exhibit Index filed as part of this Registration
   Statement.

   ITEM 9.   UNDERTAKINGS

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

        (1)  To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
   being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

             (i)  To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3)
        of the Securities Act of 1933;

             (ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events

                                      4

        arising after the effective date of the registration statement
        (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which,
        individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change
        in the information set forth in the registration statement; and

             (iii)     To include any material information with respect
        to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the
        registration statement or any material change to such information
        in the registration statement;

   provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the
   information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
   those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or
   furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
   or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated
   by reference in the registration statement.

        (2)  That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
   Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        (3)  To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
   amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold
   at the termination of the offering.

        The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
   of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each
   filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where
   applicable, each filing of the Plan's annual report pursuant to
   Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is
   incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be
   deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
   offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
   shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

        Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
   Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and
   controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
   provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the
   opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification
   is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
   unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against
   such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses
   incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the
   Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or
   proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling
   person in connection with the securities being registered, the
   Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has
   been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of

                                      5

   appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by
   it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be
   governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

                                      6

                                 SIGNATURES

        Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the
   Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it
   meets all of the requirements for filing this Registration Statement
   and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its
   behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in New York, New
   York, on this 29th day of June, 2011.
