DESCRIPTION OF THE COMMON STOCK
The following general summary of the Common Stock is
qualified in its entirety by reference to the Company's Restated
Certificate of Incorporation, as amended (the "Certificate of
Incorporation"), which is an exhibit to the Registration Statement of
which this Prospectus is a part.
The Company is authorized by the Certificate of
Incorporation to issue 750,000,000 shares of Common Stock and
250,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $1.00 per share. On
July 15, 1995, 385,199,555 shares of Common Stock (excluding
approximately 45.7 million shares of Common Stock held as treasury
shares by the Company, as to which approximately 43.7 million were
held by wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company) were issued and
outstanding and approximately 148 million shares were reserved for
issuance upon exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants and
conversion of outstanding convertible securities. Also, as of July 15,
1995, 464,638 shares of the Company's Series B Preferred Stock,
3,264,508 shares of Series C Preferred Stock and 11 million shares of
Series D Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding. Upon
consummation of the proposed acquisition of Cablevision Industries
Corporation by the Company, which is referred to in the Company's
Current Reports on Form 8-K dated February 6, 1995, and May 30, 1995,
the Company will have outstanding approximately 2.5 million additional
shares of Common Stock and approximately 3.25 million shares of Series
E Preferred Stock and 3.25 million shares of Series F Preferred Stock.
The Series C, D, E and F Preferred Stock are or will be, as the case
may be, convertible in the aggregate into approximately 43.2 million
shares of Common Stock. Each such series of Preferred Stock has a
liquidation value of $100 per share and will receive, for a period of
five years with respect to the Series C and E Preferred Stock and for
a period of four years with respect to the Series D and F Preferred
Stock, an annual dividend per share equal to the greater of $3.75 and
an amount equal to the dividends paid on the Common Stock into which
such share of Preferred Stock may be converted. The Series C, D, E and
F Preferred Stock are or will be, as the case may be, entitled to vote
with the Common Stock on matters submitted to a vote of stockholders
and will have two votes per share in any such matter. For a discussion
of the Series C, D, E and F Preferred Stock reference is made to the
Company's Current Report on Form 8-K dated May 30, 1995.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to receive
dividends when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the
Company out of funds legally available therefor, subject to the
rights of any preferred stock at the time outstanding.
The holders of the Common Stock are entitled to one vote for
each share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including
elections of directors. The holders of the Common Stock
<PAGE>
do not have any cumulative voting, conversion, redemption or
preemptive rights. In the event of dissolution, liquidation or winding
up of the Company, holders of the Common Stock will be entitled to
share ratably in any assets remaining after the satisfaction in full
of the prior rights of creditors, including holders of the Company's
indebtedness, and the aggregate liquidation preference of any
preferred stock then outstanding.
Pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation,
provided that full dividends on all outstanding shares of any series
of the Company's preferred stock have been paid, outstanding shares of
Common Stock may be redeemed by action of the Company's Board of
Directors to the extent necessary to prevent the loss of any
governmental license or franchise, the holding of which is conditioned
upon stockholders possessing prescribed qualifications.
The Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange,
the Pacific Stock Exchange and the International Stock Exchange of the
United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, Ltd. Chemical Bank is the
transfer agent and registrar for the Common Stock.
Each share of Common Stock has associated with it one right
(a "Right") to purchase one one-thousandth of a share of Series A
Participating Cumulative Preferred Stock (or in certain cases other
securities) of the Company. The terms of the Rights are set forth in a
Rights Agreement (the "Rights Agreement") dated as of January 20,
1994, between the Company and Chemical Bank, as Rights Agent. Prior to
the occurrence of certain events, including a determination by the
Board of Directors following the public disclosure of a tender or
exchange offer for shares of Common Stock representing 15% or more of
the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, the Rights will not be
represented by separate certificates and will be transferable with and
only with the associated Common Stock.
Pursuant to the Rights Agreement, in the event that, among
other things, a third party acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or
more of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock, each holder of
Rights will be entitled to purchase securities of the Company having a
market value equal to twice the purchase price thereof. In certain
circumstances, including an acquisition involving 50% or more of the
assets or earning power of the Company, the Rights will become
exercisable to purchase common shares of the acquirer having a market
value equal to twice the purchase price thereof. In addition, Rights
held by an Acquiring Person (as defined in the Rights Agreement) will
become null and void, nontransferable and nonexercisable.
The Rights Agreement provides that the Rights will not
become exercisable in the event of a Qualifying Offer. A "Qualifying
Offer" is defined as an all-cash tender offer for all outstanding
shares of the Common Stock that meets certain fairness requirements,
including the provision of a written opinion of a nationally recognized
investment banking firm stating that the price to be paid to
stockholders pursuant to the offer is fair from a financial point of
view.
Subject to certain limitations, the Company may redeem the
Rights in whole, but not in part, at a price of $.01 per Right. The
Rights will expire on January 20, 2004, unless earlier redeemed by the
Company.
<PAGE>
The foregoing summary of certain terms of the Rights does
not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its
entirety by reference to, the Rights Agreement, a copy of which is on
file with the Commission.
SELLING SHAREHOLDERS
Each of the selling shareholders is a former stockholder, or
a trust created by a former stockholder in the case of the Nancy
McGuire Gray Trust U/A, of Summit Communications Group, Inc., a
Delaware corporation ("Summit") (each a "Selling Shareholder"). On May
2, 1995, Summit was acquired by the Company and became a wholly owned
subsidiary of the Company (the "Acquisition"). The shares of Common
Stock offered hereby were acquired by the Selling Shareholders as a
result of the Acquisition or will be acquired upon conversion,
exchange or pursuant to certain anti-dilution provisions of the Series
C Preferred Stock also acquired by the Selling Shareholders pursuant
to the Acquisition.

office or other material relationship that such Selling Shareholder
has had within the past three years with the Company or any of its
affiliates, if applicable, and the number of shares of Common Stock
which each such Selling Shareholder owned as of the date of this
Prospectus, assuming the immediate conversion of all Series C
Preferred Stock held by each such Selling Stockholder. The table also
sets forth the number of shares of Common Stock owned by each Selling
Shareholder, assuming the immediate conversion of all Series C
Preferred Stock held by each such Selling Stockholder, that may be
offered for sale from time to time by this Prospectus and the number
of shares of Common Stock to be held by each such Selling Shareholder
assuming the sale of all the Common Stock offered hereby. The Company
may amend or supplement this Prospectus from time to time to disclose

of additional Selling Shareholders or to update the disclosure set
forth herein.

<PAGE>
PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
The Common Stock may be offered for sale from time to time
by the Selling Shareholders, or by their pledgees, donees, transferees
or other successors in interest, to or through underwriters or
directly to other purchasers or through agents in one or more
transactions on any Exchange on which the Common Stock is traded, in
the over-the-counter market, in one or more private transactions or in
a combination of such methods of sale, at prices and on terms then
prevailing, at prices related to such prices or at negotiated prices.
Such methods of distribution may include, without limitation, (a) a
distribution through underwriting syndicates represented by one or
more managing underwriters, or by one or more underwiters without a
syndicate; (b) a block trade in which an agent will attempt to sell
the Common Stock as agent but may position and resell a portion of the
block as principal to facilitate the transaction; (c) purchases by one
or more brokers or dealers as principals and resale by such brokers or
dealers for their own account at fixed or varying prices; (d) a
distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable Exchange;
and (e) ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which a
broker solicits purchasers. In effecting sales, such brokers may
arrange for other brokers or dealers to participate in the resales.
This Prospectus may be amended and supplemented from time to time to
describe a specific plan of distribution.
In connection with distributions of the Common Stock or
otherwise, the Selling Shareholders may enter into hedging
transactions with broker-dealers. In connection with such
transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of Common Stock
in the course of hedging the positions they assume with Selling
Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders may also sell Common Stock
short and redeliver the shares to close out such short positions. The
Selling Shareholders may also enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers which require the delivery to such broker-dealer
of the Common Stock offered hereby, which Common Stock such
broker-dealer may resell pursuant to this Prospectus. The Selling
Shareholders may also pledge the shares registered hereunder to a
broker or dealer and, upon a default, such broker or dealer may effect
sales of the pledged Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus. In
addition, any Common Stock covered by this Prospectus that qualifies
for sale pursuant to Rule 144 may be sold under Rule 144 under the
Securities Act rather than pursuant to this Prospectus.
Brokers, dealers or agents may receive compensation in the
form of commissions, discounts or concessions from Selling
Shareholders in amounts to be negotiated in connection with sales
pursuant hereto. Any such remuneration will be disclosed in a
prospectus or prospectus supplement filed under the Securities Act.
Such brokers or dealers and any other participating brokers or dealers
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the
Securities Act, in connection with such sales and any such commission,
discount or concession may be deemed to be underwriting discounts or
commissions under the Securities Act.
<PAGE>
Certain costs, expenses and fees in connection with the
registration of the Common Stock, including certain costs of legal
counsel for the Selling Shareholders, will be borne by the Company.
Commissions, discounts and transfer taxes, if any, attributable to the
sales of the Common Stock will be borne by the Selling Shareholders,
as may a portion of the costs of legal counsel for the Selling
Shareholders. The Selling Shareholders have agreed to indemnify the
Company or any underwriter, as the case may be, and any of their
respective affiliates, directors, officers and controlling persons,
against certain liabilities in connection with the offering of the
Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus, including liabilities
arising under the Securities Act. In addition, the Company has agreed
to indemnify the Selling Shareholders or any underwriter, as the case
may be, and any of their respective affiliates, directors, officers
and controlling persons, against certain liabilities in connection
with the offering of the Common Stock pursuant to this Prospectus,
including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

Item 15. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the
"DGCL") provides that a corporation may indemnify directors and
officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in
settlement in connection with specified actions, suits or proceedings,
whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than
an action by or in the right of the corporation -- a "derivative
action"), if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably
believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceedings,
had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful. A
similar standard is applicable in the case of derivative actions,
except that indemnification only extends to expenses (including
attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with
the defense or settlement of such action, and the statute requires
court approval before there can be any indemnification where the
person seeking indemnification has been found liable to the
corporation. The statute provides that it is not exclusive of other
indemnification that may be granted by a corporation's charter, by-
laws, disinterested director vote, stockholder vote, agreement or
otherwise.
Article VI of By-Laws of the Company requires
indemnification to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law of
any person who is or was a director or officer of the Company who is
or was involved or threatened to be made so involved in any action,
suit or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or
investigative, by reason of the fact that such person is or was
serving as a director, officer or employee of the Company or any
predecessor of the Company or was serving at the request of the
Company as a director, officer or employee of any other enterprise.
Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL permits a provision in the
certificate of incorporation of each corporation organized thereunder,
such as the Company, eliminating or limiting, with certain exceptions,
the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its
<PAGE>
stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a
director. Section 1, Article X of the Certificate of Incorporation of
the Company eliminates the liability of directors to the extent
permitted by Section 102(b)(7).
The foregoing statements are subject to the detailed
provisions of Section 145 and 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, Article VI of
such By-laws and Section 1, Article X of such Certificate of
Incorporation, as applicable.
The Company's Directors' and Officers' Liability and
Reimbursement Insurance Policy is designed to reimburse the Company
for any payments made by it pursuant to the foregoing indemnification.
Such policy has coverage of $50,000,000.

Item 17. Undertakings.
A. Undertaking Pursuant to Rule 415.
The Company 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 (the "Securities Act");
(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events
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;
(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 A(1)(i) and A(1)(ii) do not
apply if the Registration Statement is on Form S-3 and the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment
by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the
Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") that are incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement;
(2) that, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, 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; and
(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.
B. Undertaking Regarding Filings Incorporating Subsequent
Exchange Act Documents by Reference.
The Company hereby undertakes that, for purposes of
determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
Company's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of
the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee
benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange
Act) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement
shall be deemed to be a new
<PAGE>
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.
C. Undertaking in Respect of Indemnification.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling
persons of the Company pursuant to the provisions described and the
documents referenced under Item 15 above, or otherwise, the Company
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange
Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed
in the Securities 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 Company will, unless in the opinion
of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in
the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.
