COMPARISON OF THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VERSUS THREE AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

RAINBOW MEDIA GROUP

REVENUES for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $26.7
million (28%) and $88.1 million (33%), respectively, as compared to revenues for
the same periods in the prior year. Approximately $15.8 million (17%) and $41.9
million (16%), respectively, of the increase was a direct result of the
Acquisitions; approximately $6.0 million (6%) and $30.5 million (11%),
respectively, of the increase was attributable to internal growth in programming
network subscribers and rate increases; and approximately $4.9 million (5%) and
$15.7 million (6%), respectively, of the increase was due to increases in
advertising revenues.

TECHNICAL AND OPERATING EXPENSES for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased $14.8 million (43%) and $31.7 million (30%), respectively,
over the comparable 1999 periods. Approximately $10.6 million (31%) and $29.2
million (28%), respectively, of the increase was directly attributable to the
Acquisitions. The remaining increases of $4.2 million (12%) and $2.5 million
(2%), respectively, resulted primarily from increases in those costs directly
associated with the increases in revenues, discussed above. As a percentage of
revenues, technical and operating expenses increased 4% for the three month
period and decreased 1% for the nine month period as compared to the respective
periods in 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased $6.3 million (18%) and
$8.6 million (8%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 compared to the same periods in the prior year. The increases for the
three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 consisted of an increase of $5.3
million (15%) and $18.5 million (17%), respectively, attributable to sales and
marketing initiatives, advertising related expenses and other general cost
increases and an increase of $4.1 million (12%) and $10.5 million (10%),
respectively, as a direct result of the Acquisitions. Such increases were offset
by decreases of $2.3 million (7%) and $18.5 million (17%), respectively, for the
three and nine month periods due to benefits attributed to RMG related to an
incentive stock plan and decreases of $0.8 million (2%) and $1.9 million (2%)
due to lower Year 2000 remediation costs. As a percentage of revenues, selling,
general and administrative expenses decreased 3% and 8% for the three and nine
month period, respectively. Excluding the effects of the incentive stock plan
and Year 2000 remediation costs, as a percentage of revenues such costs
decreased 1% for both the three and nine month periods in 2000 as compared to
the 1999 periods.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE decreased $0.7 million (7%) and $0.6
million (2%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 over the same 1999 periods. Increases of $1.8 million (18%) and $5.0
million (17%), respectively, resulting from the Acquisitions were substantially
offset by lower depreciation and amortization charges as certain assets became
fully depreciated and amortized during 2000.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE increased $4.3 million (50%) and $13.0 million (55%) for
the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to the same periods
in 1999 primarily as a result of substantially higher debt balances.

EQUITY IN NET LOSSES OF AFFILIATES, NET amounted to $2.9 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 compared to $1.1 million in the comparable prior
year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000, equity in net loss of
affiliates amounted to $3.7 million compared to equity in net income of
affiliates of $0.8 million in the comparable prior year

                                      (2)

period. Such amounts consist of RMG's share of the net income and losses of
certain programming businesses, primarily regional and national sports
programming companies and a national advertising company, in which Rainbow Media
Holdings has varying minority ownership interests.

WRITE OFF OF DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS in 1999 consists of costs written off in
connection with American Movie Classics' bank debt refinancing.

COMPARISON OF THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2000 VERSUS THREE AND
NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 1999

COMBINED RESULTS- CABLEVISION NY GROUP

REVENUES for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $105.9
million (13%) and $294.4 million (12%), respectively, as compared to revenues
for the same periods in the prior year. Approximately $78.6 million (10%) and
$198.9 million (8%), respectively, was from increases in revenue sources such as
Rainbow NY Group's programming and entertainment services, advertising on CNYG's
cable television systems, revenue derived from the developing telephone and
modem businesses and revenue recognized in connection with the At Home
transaction; and approximately $19.8 million (2%) and $69.6 million (3%),
respectively, resulted from higher revenue per subscriber. The remaining
increase of $7.5 million (1%) and $25.9 million (1%), respectively, was
attributable to internal growth in the average number of subscribers in CNYG's
cable television systems during the periods.

TECHNICAL AND OPERATING EXPENSES for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased $33.0 million (11%) and $92.9 million (9%), respectively,
compared to the same periods in 1999. The increase was attributable to increased
costs directly associated with the growth in revenues and subscribers discussed
above, as well as to increases in programming costs for cable television
services. As a percentage of revenues, technical and operating expenses
decreased 1% during the three and nine month periods in 2000 as compared to the
1999 periods.

RETAIL ELECTRONICS COST OF SALES for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 amounted to approximately $142.0 million and $383.9 million,
respectively (83% and 82%, respectively, of retail electronics sales), compared
to approximately $111.8 million and $316.6 million (81% and 80%, respectively,
of retail electronics sales) for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1999, respectively. Cost of sales include the cost of merchandise sold,
including freight costs incurred and certain occupancy and buying costs, for the
retail electronics segment.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased $24.2 million (10%) and
$136.6 million (17%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended
September 30, 2000 over the comparable periods in 1999. The change for the three
and nine month periods consisted of decreases of approximately $39.8 million
(16%) and $196.9 million (25%), respectively, related to an incentive stock plan
and approximately $10.8 million (4%) and $22.6 million (3%), respectively,
related to lower Year 2000 remediation costs. Partially offsetting these
decreases were net increases of approximately $26.4 million (10%) and $82.9
million (11%), respectively, in sales and marketing and administrative costs. As
a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased
6% and 8%, respectively, during the 2000 periods compared to the 1999 periods.
Excluding the effects of the incentive stock plan and the Year 2000 remediation
costs, as a percentage of revenues such costs remained constant during the three
month period in 2000 and increased 1% during the nine month period in 2000 as
compared to the same periods in 1999.

OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased $66.8 million
(40%) to $234.1 million and $270.7 million (61%) to $712.9 million for the three
and nine months ended September 30, 2000, respectively, from $167.3 million and
$442.2 million for the comparable periods in 1999. Approximately $39.8 million
(24%) and $196.9 million (45%) of the increase resulted from reduced expenses
related to an incentive stock plan and approximately $27.0 million (16%) and
$73.9 million (16%), respectively, resulted from the combined effect of the
revenue and expense changes discussed above. On a pro forma basis, excluding the
systems held for sale, the incentive stock plan adjustments referred to above
and the costs of Year 2000 remediation,

                                      (6)
<PAGE>

operating profit before depreciation and amortization would have increased 8.7%
and 9.4% for the three and nine month periods in 2000. Operating profit before
depreciation and amortization is presented here to provide additional
information about CNYG's ability to meet future debt service, capital
expenditures and working capital requirements. Operating profit before
depreciation and amortization should be considered in addition to and not as a
substitute for net income (loss) and cash flows as indicators of financial
performance and liquidity as reported in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE increased $26.5 million (13%) and $82.0
million (14%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2000 as compared to the same periods in 1999. The increases resulted primarily
from depreciation on new plant assets.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE increased $25.6 million (23%) and $67.1 million (21%),
respectively, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 compared to
the same periods in 1999. The net increases are primarily attributable to higher
interest rates and debt incurred to fund capital expenditures.

EQUITY IN NET LOSS OF AFFILIATES, NET consisted of CNYG's share of the net
income or losses of certain programming businesses and personal communication
services businesses in which Cablevision has varying minority ownership
interests.

GAIN ON SALE OF CABLE ASSETS of $130.8 million for the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2000 resulted from the sale of the cable television system
in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

NET MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSE decreased $1.6 million to $0.6 million for the three
months ended September 30, 2000 and decreased $4.7 million to $4.6 million for
the nine months ended September 30, 2000 as compared to the same periods in
1999. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000, miscellaneous
expense included a $2.2 million income tax provision and various other items.
For the three and nine months ended September 30, 1999, miscellaneous expense
included $1.1 million and $4.4 million, respectively, related to federal, state
and local income taxes and approximately $1.1 million and $0.7 million,
respectively, relating to various other items. Additionally, the nine month
period in 1999 included a charge of approximately $15.1 million resulting from
the write off of an investment held by Rainbow Media Holdings and attributable
to CNYG, and a gain of approximately $10.9 million resulting from the sale of
certain marketable securities.

REVENUES for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 increased $34.3
million (25%) and $93.9 million (17%), respectively, as compared to revenues for
the same period in the prior year. Approximately $13.5 million (10%) and $41.2
million (7%), respectively, of the increase was attributable to internal growth
in programming network subscribers and rate increases, approximately $13.1
million (10%) and $24.9 million (4%), respectively, of the increase was
primarily the result of a greater number of concerts, special events and
sporting events at Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall and
approximately $5.0 million (3%) and $19.8 million (4%), respectively, was due to
increases in advertising revenues. The remaining $2.7 million (2%) and $8.0
million (2%) was a direct result of the Transactions.

TECHNICAL AND OPERATING EXPENSES for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 increased $24.7 million (32%) and $56.9 million (15%), respectively,
over the comparable 1999 periods. The increase was primarily attributable to
increased costs directly associated with the net increases in revenues discussed
above. As a percentage of revenues, technical and operating expenses increased
3% and decreased 1%, respectively, during the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 over the comparable periods in 1999.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES decreased $5.6 million (11%) and
$40.7 million (21%), respectively, for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2000 over the same 1999 periods. The net decrease for the three months ended
September 30, 2000 consisted of a $6.9 million (13%) decrease related to an
incentive stock plan and a $3.3 million (6%) decrease attributable to lower Year
2000 remediation costs, partially offset by a $2.5 million (4%) increase related
primarily to higher sales and marketing costs and a $2.1 million (4%) increase
resulting from the Transactions. The net decrease for the nine months ended
September 30, 2000 consisted of a decrease of $46.2 million (24%) related to an

general cost increases and $5.5 million (3%) increase resulting from the
Transactions. As a percentage of revenues, selling, general and administrative
expenses decreased 11% for both the three and nine month periods. Excluding the
effects of the incentive stock plan and Year 2000 remediation costs, as a
percentage of revenues such costs decreased 3% and 2%, respectively, for the
three and nine month periods.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE increased $1.2 million (4%) and $18.6
million (21%) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 over the
same 1999 periods. The increase resulted primarily from depreciation on capital
expenditures made during the periods.

RESTRICTED GROUP

Cablevision NY Group's Restricted Group currently consists of CSC Holdings and
its cable operations in and around the greater New York City metropolitan area
and around the Boston, Massachusetts metropolitan area, as well as the
commercial telephone operations of Cablevision Lightpath, Inc. on Long Island,
New York. At September 30, 2000, the Restricted Group encompassed approximately
3,502,700 cable television subscribers, including approximately 356,900
subscribers in its Massachusetts system and 313,800 subscribers, which comprised
the recently sold Cleveland, Ohio area cable system. In November 2000, CSC
Holdings completed the sale of its Ohio cable system to Adelphia Communications
Corporation ("Adelphia") for $991.0 million in cash and 10.8 million shares of
Adelphia common stock. The cash proceeds received in the transaction were used
to repay outstanding bank debt under CSC Holdings' revolving credit facility and
to retire a $450 million bridge loan facility. In September 2000, CSC Holdings
completed the sale of its Kalamazoo, Michigan cable system to Charter
Communications, Inc. ("Charter") in exchange for 11.2 million shares of Charter
common stock.

In April 2000, CSC Holdings announced the sale of its cable systems in Boston
and Eastern Massachusetts to AT&T Corporation ("AT&T") in exchange for cable
systems in certain northern New York suburbs, approximately $878 million in AT&T
stock and approximately $284 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments.
The consummation of this transaction is subject to the receipt of franchise
transfer and other required approvals. CSC Holdings expects to apply the cash
proceeds from the Massachusetts transactions, as well as any cash proceeds
received from the monetization of any of its holdings of common stock, toward
the reduction of outstanding debt.

The Restricted Group's plant upgrade, combined with additional amounts required
for the start up and operation of new businesses such as high speed internet
access, digital video services, the expansion of residential telephone services
and the roll out of non-Long Island based commercial telephone business
(collectively, "New Media"), as well as additional investments or acquisitions,
including potential investments in the Rainbow NY Group programming entities


                                      (11)
<PAGE>

other than MSG, will require significant additional funding.

The Restricted Group expects to obtain the requisite funds through internally
generated cash, amounts available under existing credit facilities, proceeds
from asset sales and/or additional capital markets issuances.

As of November 2, 2000, the Restricted Group had in total $2.2 billion in
reducing revolving credit facilities, consisting of a $1.2 billion facility
available to Cablevision MFR, Inc. and certain of CSC Holdings' New Jersey
subsidiaries and a $1.0 billion facility available to CSC Holdings and other
Restricted Group subsidiaries. Both facilities mature in March 2007, with
commitments beginning to reduce in June 2001. On July 31, 2000, CSC Holdings
closed on a $450 million term loan facility which provided additional
availability until certain pending cable system sales closed. This facility was
repaid and terminated on November 2, 2000 with cash proceeds from the sale of
CSC Holdings' Ohio cable system to Adelphia. As of November 2, 2000, the
Restricted Group had outstanding borrowings under its credit facilities of
$1,356 million and letters of credit of $41.6 million. Unrestricted and undrawn
funds available to the Restricted Group amounted to approximately $802.4 million
as of the same date.

The Restricted Group's credit facilities contain certain financial covenants
that may limit its ability to utilize all of the undrawn funds available
thereunder, including covenants requiring the Restricted Group to maintain
certain financial ratios and restricting the permitted uses of borrowed funds.

As of November 2, 2000, CSC Holdings had entered into interest exchange (swap)
agreements with several of its banks covering a notional principal amount of
$250 million requiring CSC Holdings to pay a floating rate of interest. These
swaps mature in 2001 and 2002.

In November 1999, CSC Holdings entered into an interest rate cap agreement with
American Movie Classics, a Rainbow Media Group entity, in a notional principal
amount of $105 million. The agreement caps American Movie Classics' floating
interest costs paid on the basis of LIBOR at 7.0% through May 2001 and at 7.5%
from May 2001 through May 2002 in exchange for a cash payment made to CSC
Holdings.

MADISON SQUARE GARDEN

Madison Square Garden ("MSG") has a $500 million revolving credit facility
maturing on December 31, 2004. As of November 2, 2000, outstanding debt under
this facility was $280 million. In addition, MSG had outstanding letters of
credit of $13 million, resulting in unrestricted and undrawn funds available of
$207 million. The MSG credit facility contains


                                      (12)
<PAGE>

certain financial covenants that may limit its ability to utilize all of the
undrawn funds available thereunder, including covenants requiring MSG to
maintain certain financial ratios. The Company believes that for MSG, internally
generated funds, together with funds available under its existing credit
agreement, will be sufficient to meet its projected funding requirements for the
next twelve months, including requirements of certain of Rainbow NY Group's
programming-related entities.

Garden Programming LLC, an unrestricted subsidiary of MSG, had a $20 million
term loan maturing on July 11, 2002. The loan was replaced with borrowings under
the MSG credit facility and cancelled on September 29, 2000.

RETAIL ELECTRONICS

Cablevision Electronics has a $130 million stand alone credit facility, which
matures in February 2001. Under the terms of the credit facility, the total
amount of borrowing available to Cablevision Electronics is subject to an
availability calculation based on a percentage of eligible inventory. On
November 2, 2000, total outstanding debt under the credit facility was $95
million with no additional availability.

CSC Holdings' investment in Cablevision Electronics was approximately $158.9
million at September 30, 2000. Through November 2, 2000, Cablevision Electronics
has received other financial support from CSC Holdings of approximately $201.8
million in the form of letters of credit, guarantees and intercompany loans. The
Company believes that Cablevision Electronics will require additional financial
support from CSC Holdings in respect of planned increases in inventory, capital
expenditures and other operating requirements and that funds available under
Cablevision Electronics' credit agreement, assuming the credit facility can be
renewed at maturity, together with this additional financial support, will be
sufficient to meet its projected funding requirements for the next twelve
months; however, no assurances can be given as to the Company's ability to renew
the credit facility at maturity on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES -- RAINBOW MEDIA GROUP

Financing for the Rainbow Media Group entities has historically been provided by
a combination of bank credit facilities, intercompany borrowings, sales of
interests in programming entities, and, from time to time, by equity
contributions from partners. Currently, Rainbow Media Holdings and American
Movie Classics each have bank credit facilities. Borrowings under the Rainbow
Media Holdings credit facility have been used primarily to support businesses of
the Rainbow Media Group and, to a considerably lesser extent, certain Rainbow NY
Group entities. All outstanding debt of Rainbow Media Holdings is being
attributed to the Rainbow Media Group.

The Rainbow Media Group's potential future investments in new programming
content and services, such as new digital channels, will require significant
funding. The Company intends to obtain this funding with up to a $1 billion bank
credit facility currently being arranged for Rainbow Media Group, LLC (a
subsidiary of Rainbow Media Holdings). The new facility would repay and replace
the existing Rainbow Media Holdings and American Movie Classics credit
facilities and provide availability to fund cash requirements of all of the
Rainbow Media Group. As of November 2, 2000, the Company had received
commitments in excess of $800 million and expects to close the facility during
December. However, no assurances can be given that the facility can be completed
on acceptable terms and conditions, or at all.

As of November 2, 2000, Rainbow Media Holdings' existing credit facility
consisted of a $300 million non-amortizing revolving credit facility maturing on
December 31, 2000, which was reduced to $294 million as of October 31, 2000 as a
result of the sale of Rainbow Media Holdings' interest in one of its
subsidiaries. Rainbow Media Holdings is restricted from accessing $21.5 million
of the facility in order to provide for repayment of a like amount of
intercompany borrowings from RPP. Direct borrowings as of November 2, 2000,
amounted to $244.5 million, leaving a balance of $28 million available to
Rainbow Media Holdings under the credit facility as of that date.

American Movie Classics, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Rainbow Media Holdings and
part of the Rainbow Media Group, has a $425 million credit facility consisting
of a $200 million reducing revolving credit facility and a $225 million
amortizing term loan, both of which will mature on March 31, 2006. The amount of
the available commitment will not begin to be reduced until June 2004. As of
November 2, 2000, American Movie Classics had outstanding borrowings of $352
million and unrestricted funds available of $73 million.

Both the Rainbow Media Holdings and American Movie Classics credit facilities
contain certain financial covenants that may limit the ability to utilize all of
the undrawn funds available, including covenants requiring that certain
financial ratios be maintained.

In November 1999, CSC Holdings entered into an interest rate cap agreement with
American Movie Classics in a notional principal amount of $105 million. The
agreement caps American Movie Classics' floating interest costs paid on the
basis of LIBOR at 7.0% through May 2001 and at 7.5% from May 2001 through May
2002 in exchange for a cash payment made to CSC Holdings.

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The information set forth herein for the Rainbow Media Group sets forth
information for certain businesses and interests included within the Rainbow
Media Holdings subsidiary referred to as the Rainbow Media Group. The Company
has filed definitive proxy materials with the Securities and Exchange Commission
related to the vote of Cablevision shareholders that is required to amend the
Cablevision charter to authorize and issue a new series of Cablevision common
stock called Rainbow Media Group tracking stock and distributed definitive proxy
materials to Cablevision shareholders. That series of Cablevision common stock
would be designed to track the economic performance of the Rainbow Media Group.
No solicitation is being made hereby.

The proxy materials filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission state that
Rainbow Media Group tracking stock may be issued following a favorable
shareholder vote, but there are no assurances that an issuance will be made or
as to the manner in which an issuance may be accomplished. Only the definitive
proxy materials distributed to Cablevision shareholders should be relied upon in
reviewing the businesses, financial condition or results of operations of the
Rainbow Media Group.

A Cablevision tracking stock, such as the Rainbow Media Group common stock that
may be issued after a Cablevision shareholder vote, represents an interest in
Cablevision and is not a direct interest in the businesses and interests
included in the Rainbow Media Group. If the Rainbow Media Group tracking stock
is issued, dividends (if any), entitlements in the event of a merger or similar
transaction and rights in liquidation will not necessarily be related to the
performance of the Rainbow Media Group or the value of the assets in the Rainbow
Media Group. Instead, such determinations will be made by the Cablevision Board
of Directors, subject to the provisions of the Cablevision charter. The Company
does not expect to pay any dividends on any series of Cablevision common stock
for the foreseeable future.

In connection with the preparation of the financial information for the Rainbow
Media Group tracking stock, the Company has made certain allocations of
Cablevision costs based on existing policies. If the Company were to alter those
policies, which the Company is entitled to do at any time, there could be
material adverse effects on the Rainbow Media Group financial statements.
This factor should be considered in analyzing the financial information set
forth.

ACCOUNTING STANDARDS ISSUED BUT NOT YET ADOPTED

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133, ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE
INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES" ("SFAS 133"), requires that all derivative
financial instruments, such as interest rate swap contracts, be recognized in
the financial statements and measured at fair value regardless of the purpose or
intent for holding them. Changes in the fair value of derivative financial
instruments are either recognized periodically in income or stockholders' equity
(as a component of comprehensive income), depending on whether the derivative is
being used to hedge changes in fair value or cash flows. SFAS 133, as amended,
is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2000. CNYG and RMG do not
expect that the adoption of SFAS 133 will have a material effect on their
financial condition or results of operations.

In December 1999, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 101, "REVENUE
RECOGNITION IN FINANCIAL STATEMENTS" ("SAB 101") which summarizes certain of the
SEC staff's views in applying generally accepted accounting principles to
revenue recognition in financial statements. CNYG and RMG will be required to
adopt the accounting provisions of SAB 101 during the fourth quarter of 2000.
CNYG and RMG do not believe that the implementation of SAB 101 will have a
significant effect on their financial condition or results of operations.

Statement of Position 00-02 "ACCOUNTING BY PRODUCERS OR DISTRIBUTORS OF FILMS"
("SOP 00-02") replaces Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 53, and
provides guidance covering revenue recognition for sales or licenses of films
and the accounting and reporting of film production costs. SOP 00-02 is
effective for financial statements for fiscal years beginning after December 31,
2000. RMG does not believe that the adoption of SOP 00-02 will have a
significant effect on its financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 1.         BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited combined financial statements of Rainbow Media Group
("RMG") have been prepared in accordance with the rules and regulations of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures
normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted.

NOTE 2.         RESPONSIBILITY FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The financial statements as of and for the three and nine month periods ended
September 30, 2000 and 1999 presented are unaudited; however, in the opinion of
management, such statements include all adjustments, consisting solely of normal
recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the
periods presented.

The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited
financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 1999.

The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative
of the results that might be expected for future interim periods or for the full
year ending December 31, 2000.

NOTE 3.         LIQUIDITY

Although RMG had a working capital deficit as of September 30, 2000, RMG is
operated as an integral part of Cablevision Systems Corporation ("Cablevision").
Cablevision intends to provide RMG with sufficient liquidity to meet its working
capital requirements through (i) renegotiation or replacement of existing credit
facilities, (ii) the sale of debt or equity securities, or, if necessary, (iii)
advances from Cablevision NY Group ("CNYG").

NOTE 4.         INVESTMENTS

RMG accounts for its investments in marketable securities in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities." RMG has classified such investments
as available-for-sale. Accordingly, these investments are stated at fair value
and unrealized holding gains and losses are included in accumulated other
comprehensive income as a component of group deficiency.

NOTE 5.         CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the combined statements of cash flows, RMG considers short-term
investments with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or less to be
cash equivalents. RMG paid cash interest expense of approximately $22,718 and
$12,751 for the nine months ended

September 30, 2000 and 1999, respectively. RMG's noncash financing and investing
activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999 included
capital lease obligations of $4,476 and $4,919, respectively, incurred when RMG
entered into leases for new equipment and the receipt of Salon.com common shares
valued at $7,300 in 2000. For the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
CNYG made contributions of $20,258 and $30,126, respectively, to equity method
investee companies attributed to RMG. Such amounts have been reflected as
capital contributions from CNYG to RMG. For the nine months ended September 30,
2000 and 1999, CNYG received net proceeds of $96,928, and made net repayments of
$21,638, respectively, on indebtedness and made payments of $14,153 and $5,417,
respectively, of related interest attributed to RMG. Such amounts have been
reflected as capital transactions between RMG and CNYG. For the nine months
ended September 30, 2000 and 1999, CNYG made payments of $9,806 and $11,087,
respectively, relating to stock plan obligations attributed to RMG. Such amounts
have been reflected as capital contributions from CNYG to RMG.

Non-cash expenses attributed to RMG consisted primarily of (i) interest of
$14,625 and $8,347 related to a portion of indebtedness of Rainbow Media
Holdings, and (ii) expenses of $72 and $18,610 related to an incentive stock
plan of Cablevision for the nine months ended September 30, 2000 and 1999,
respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2000, CNYG acquired controlling
interests in three programming businesses for approximately $145,200 (including
cash acquired of $4,459). Such acquisitions have been attributed to RMG and
have been reflected as contributions to RMG.

NOTE 6.         ACQUISITIONS

In January 2000, Regional Programming Partners acquired the 70% interest in
SportsChannel Florida Associates that it did not already own and held by Front
Row Communications for approximately $130,600 (including the repayment of
$20,000 in debt) increasing its ownership to 100%. In May 2000, Rainbow Media
Holdings, Inc. ("Rainbow Media Holdings") acquired the 50% interest in MuchMusic
USA that it did not already own from Chum Limited for $10,000 increasing its
ownership to 100%. Such acquisitions have been attributed to RMG as
contributions from CNYG. These acquisitions were accounted for as purchases with
the operations of the acquired businesses being combined with those of RMG as of
the acquisition date. The purchase prices will be allocated to the specific
assets acquired when independent appraisals are obtained. Had the acquisition of
SportsChannel Florida Associates occurred on January 1, 1999, pro forma revenue
and net loss would have been $302,327 and $6,839, respectively, for the nine
months ended September 30, 1999.

NOTE 7.         DEFERRED REVENUE

In January 2000, Rainbow Media Holdings acquired 1,125,000 common shares of
Salon.com, representing 10% of Salon.com's outstanding common stock at that
time, in exchange for the provision of future advertising and promotional time
on certain of Rainbow Media Holdings' programming services. The fair market
value of the common stock at closing of approximately $7,300 has been recorded
in other investments and in deferred revenue in the accompanying combined
balance sheet. The deferred revenue will be amortized to income as the services
are provided to Salon.com.

NOTE 8.         COMPREHENSIVE LOSS

Other comprehensive loss for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000
of $5,632 represents unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.

NOTE 9.         INCOME TAXES

RMG's tax provision for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2000 and
the three months ended September 30, 1999 was reduced to $0 as a result of
available loss carryovers.
