Note 1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of Cablevision
Systems Corporation and its majority owned subsidiaries (the "Company") 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 consolidated financial statements as of June 30, 1995 presented in this Form

respectively.  The Company's noncash financing activities for the six months

Note 5.  RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

Pursuant to an agreement between Rainbow Programming and National Broadcasting
Company, Inc. ("NBC"), NBC had the right to require Rainbow Programming, by
notice given on or before April 13, 1995, to purchase its interests in
SportsChannel (New York) Associates ("SCNY") and Rainbow News 12 Company
("RN12") at a predetermined purchase price, subject to certain adjustments.  On
April 7, 1995 NBC elected to require Rainbow Programming to purchase such
interests.  On July 12, 1995, Rainbow Programming consummated the purchase of
such interests, and, effective that date, the Company will consolidate the
results of operations of SCNY and RN12.  The aggregate purchase price amounted
to approximately $95,500.  Funds for the purchase and related fees were made
available under Rainbow Programming's $202,000 amended and restated credit
agreement and by an equity contribution of $2,500 from the Company.  See Item 2.

1994 ACQUISITIONS  In March 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of North
Coast Cable; in July 1994, the Company through Rainbow Programming purchased an
additional approximate 50% interest in American Movie Classics Company ("AMCC"),
giving Rainbow Programming a 75% ownership interest in AMCC; and in August 1994,
the Company consummated the acquisition of Monmouth Cablevision and Riverview
Cablevision.  The foregoing acquisitions will collectively be referred to as the
"1994 Acquisitions".

REVENUES for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995 increased $141.0
million (38%) and $71.6 million (37%), respectively, when compared to the same
periods in 1994.  Increases of 26% and 24%, respectively, for the six and three
month periods were attributable to the 1994 Acquisitions, with the remaining
increases of 12% and 13%, respectively, resulting primarily from internal growth
in the average number of subscribers (approximately 148,500 (11%) for the six
month period).

TECHNICAL EXPENSES increased 43% and 46%, respectively, for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1995 over the corresponding 1994 periods.  Increases of
approximately 25% and 23% for the respective six and three month periods were
directly attributable to the 1994 Acquisitions.  The remaining 18% and 23%
increases were due primarily to increases in those costs directly associated
with the internal growth in the average number of subscribers mentioned above.
As a percentage of revenues, technical expenses increased 1% and 2%,
respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995 over the same
1994 periods.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 82% and 78%,
respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995 over the
comparable 1994 periods.  Increases of 35% and 29% for the respective periods
resulted from the 1994 Acquisitions.  During 1995 and 1994, adjustments were
made related to an incentive stock plan.  Excluding these adjustments, and the
effects of the 1994 Acquisitions, discussed above, selling, general and
administrative expenses would have increased 14% and 18%, respectively, for the
six and three months ended June 30, 1995 over the same 1994 periods primarily
due to higher administrative and customer service costs, and as a percentage of
revenues, would have increased less than 1% for each of the periods presented.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGE  The Company recorded a one time charge in the first
quarter of 1994 to provide for employee severance and related costs, resulting
from a restructuring of its operations, which was undertaken in response to FCC-
mandated rate reductions in substantially all of the Company's cable television
systems.

OPERATING PROFIT BEFORE DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION increased 18% and 9%,
respectively, for the six and three months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the
same periods in 1994 as a result of the combined effect of the revenue and
expense changes discussed above.  Operating profit before depreciation and
amortization is presented here to provide additional information about the
Company'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 and
cash flows as indicators of financial performance and liquidity as reported in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION EXPENSE increased 45% and 39%, respectively, for
the six and three months ended June 30, 1995 over the comparable 1994 periods.
Approximately 36% and 32% of the respective increases were attributable to the
1994 Acquisitions, with the remaining 9% and 7% increases resulting from
increased depreciation charges on capital expenditures made during 1995 and
1994, offset to some extent by decreased depreciation and amortization charges
on assets which became fully depreciated or amortized during the periods.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE increased 31% and 33%, respectively, for the six and three
months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same 1994 periods.  Increases of 18%
and 16%, respectively, were related to the 1994 Acquisitions.  Remaining
increases of 13% and 17%, respectively, resulted primarily from higher average
debt levels, reflecting the increased capital expenditures referred to above, as
well as from generally higher interest rates.

SHARE OF AFFILIATES' NET LOSSES increased from $34.3 million to $52.7 million
for the six months ended June 30, 1995 compared to the same 1994 period.  Such
amounts consist primarily of the Company's share in the net losses of certain
cable affiliates which, for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 amounted
to $47.7 million and $35.5 million, respectively, and in the net (income) losses
of certain programming businesses, in which the Company has varying ownership
interests, which aggregated $5.0 million and $(1.2) million for the respective
periods.

WRITE OFF OF DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS in 1995 relates primarily to costs
associated with Rainbow Programming's original $105 million credit facility
which was replaced in January 1995 with a new $202 million facility.

PROVISION FOR PREFERENTIAL PAYMENT TO RELATED PARTY consists of the expensing of
the proportionate amount due with respect to an annual payment ($5.6 million)
made in connection with the acquisition of Cablevision of New York City ("CNYC")
in 1992.

MINORITY INTEREST in 1995 represents NBC's share of the net income of AMCC.

RESTRICTED GROUP

On March 10, 1995 the Company, through Rainbow Programming, invested $110
million in the MSG acquisition.  The funds were provided by borrowings under the
Restricted Group's $1.5 billion credit  agreement (the "Credit Agreement").

On August 4, 1995 the Restricted Group, including CNYC, had total usage under
the  Credit Agreement of $1,149.6 million and Letters of Credit of $22.4 million
issued on behalf of the Company and CNYC.  Unrestricted and undrawn funds
available to the Restricted Group under the Credit Agreement amounted to
approximately $328 million at August 4, 1995.  The Credit Agreement contains
certain financial covenants that may limit the Restricted Group's 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 August 4, 1995 the Company and CNYC had entered into interest exchange
(swap and interest rate cap) agreements with several of their banks on a
notional amount of $275 million, on which the Company pays a fixed rate of
interest and receives a variable rate of interest for specified periods, with an
average maturity of two years.  The average effective annual interest rate on
all bank debt outstanding as of July 31, 1995 was approximately 8.4%.

The Company believes that, for the Restricted Group, internally generated funds
together with funds available under its existing Credit Agreement will be
sufficient through December 31, 1996 (i) to meet its debt service requirements
including its amortization requirements under the Credit Agreement, (ii) to fund
its ongoing capital expenditures, including CNYC and the required upgrades under
the New York Upgrade Agreement, (iii) to fund its anticipated investments
including the $5.6 million Annual Payment to Charles Dolan in connection with
the CNYC acquisition, (iv) to fund payments with respect to the proposed
Cablevision of Boston transactions and (v) to fund any anticipated equity
requirements through 1996 in A-R Cable and/or V Cable.

Further acquisitions and other investments by the Company, if any, will be
funded by undrawn borrowing capacity and by possible increases in the amount
available under the Credit Agreement, additional borrowings from other sources,
and/or possible future sales of debt, equity or equity related securities.

The long-term credit facilities extended by General Electric Capital Corporation
("GECC") to V Cable and VC Holding on December 31, 1992, refinanced all of
V Cable's pre-existing debt.  Under the credit agreement between V Cable and
GECC (the "V Cable Credit Agreement"), GECC has provided a term loan (the "V
Cable Term Loan") in the amount of $25.9 million, as of June 30, 1995, which
loan accretes interest at a rate of 10.62% compounded semi-annually until
December 31, 1997 (the reset date) and is payable in full on December 31, 2001.
Under the credit agreement between VC Holding and GECC, GECC has extended to
VC Holding a $501.9 million term loan (the "Series A Term Loan"), a $258.4
million term loan (the "Series B Term Loan") and a $25 million revolving line of
credit (the "Revolving Line").  The Series A Term Loan and any amounts drawn
under the Revolving Line pay current cash interest and mature on December 31,
2001.  The Series B Term Loan does not pay cash interest but rather accretes
interest at a rate of 10.62% compounded semi-annually until December 31, 1997
(the reset date) and is payable in full on December 31, 2001.  On August 1, 1995
VC Holding had $2.5 million outstanding under the Revolving Line and had letters
of credit issued approximating $1.1 million.  Accordingly, unrestricted and
undrawn funds under the VC Holding Revolving Line amounted to approximately
$21.4 million on August 1, 1995.

The VC Holding Credit Agreement also provides for the assumption by VC Holding
of certain loans of U.S. Cable, the present value of which amounted to $92.2
million at June 30, 1995.  VC Holding and V Cable are required to apply all
consolidated available cash flow (as defined), as well as the net proceeds of
any disposition of assets, to the reduction of the VC Holding Term Loans and the
V Cable Term Loan.  A mandatory prepayment of the Series A Term Loan amounting
to approximately $3.1 million was made on April 14, 1995 in accordance with this
requirement.

After taking into account the reductions to regulated revenue arising from the
latest round of FCC regulation, V Cable believes that it is likely that it will
be unable to meet certain of its financial covenants during 1995.  To remedy the
anticipated covenant defaults, V Cable may request waivers and/or amendments to
its credit agreement and/or seek equity contributions from the Restricted Group.
During 1995, the Restricted Group has made equity contributions aggregating $1.9
million to enable V Cable to meet certain of its financial covenants.  There can
be no assurance as to V Cable's ability to accomplish any of these alternatives
in the future or the terms or timing of such alternatives.  Assuming any
covenant defaults are waived or cured, V Cable anticipates that its cash flow
from operations and amounts available under the VC Holding Revolving Line will
be sufficient to service its debt, to fund its capital expenditures and to meet
its working capital requirements through 1996.

MONMOUTH AND RIVERVIEW

Monmouth/Riverview are party to a credit facility, as amended on May 12,
1995, with a group of banks led by NationsBank of Texas, N.A., as agent (the
"Monmouth/Riverview Credit Facility").  The maximum amount available to
Monmouth/Riverview under the Monmouth/Riverview Credit Facility is $285 million
with a final maturity at June 30, 2003.  The facility is a reducing revolving
loan, with scheduled facility reductions beginning on March 31, 1996 resulting
in a 15% reduction by December 31, 1998.  As of August 4, 1995,
Monmouth/Riverview had outstanding bank borrowings of $207 million.
Unrestricted and undrawn funds available to Monmouth/Riverview under the
Monmouth/Riverview Credit Facility amounted to approximately $78 million at
August 4, 1995.  The Monmouth/Riverview Credit Facility contains certain
financial covenants that may limit Monmouth/Riverview's ability to utilize all
of the undrawn funds available thereunder, including covenants requiring
Monmouth/Riverview to maintain certain financial ratios.  Under the terms of the
Monmouth/Riverview Credit Facility, Monmouth/Riverview is prohibited from
transferring funds to Cablevision MFR.  The weighted average interest rate on
all bank indebtedness as of July 31, 1995 was approximately 8.6%.

Monmouth/Riverview have entered into interest rate swap and cap agreements with
several banks on a notional amount of $130 million on which the Company pays a
fixed rate of interest and receives a variable rate of interest for specified
periods, with an average maturity of 16 months.

The Company believes that for Monmouth/Riverview, internally generated funds
together with funds available under its existing credit agreement will be
sufficient to meet its debt service requirements including its amortization
requirements and to fund its capital expenditures through 1996.

RAINBOW PROGRAMMING

In July 1994, Rainbow Programming entered into a $105 million credit facility
with a group of banks.  On January 27, 1995 Rainbow entered into an amended and
restated credit facility with Toronto-Dominion (Texas), Inc., and Canadian
Imperial Bank of Commerce, as co-agents and a group of banks for $202 million of
which $108 million was drawn on such date to refinance the original facility.
On July 12, 1995 Rainbow Programming consummated the purchase of National
Broadcasting Company's (NBC") interests in SCNY and RN12 for approximately $95.5
million, giving Rainbow Programming a 100% interest in SCNY and RN12.  The
purchase was financed by an additional drawdown of $94 million under Rainbow's
$202 million amended and restated credit facility and by a $2.5 million equity
contribution from the Company for the balance of the purchase price and related
fees.  The proceeds of the initial $105 million loan plus $76 million of equity
from the Company were used to purchase Liberty Media's 50% interest in AMCC
giving Rainbow Programming a 75%

ownership interest in AMCC.  The credit facility is payable in full at maturity
on December 31, 1996 and bears interest at varying rates based upon the banks'
Base Rate or Eurodollar Rate, as defined in the credit agreement.  Repayment of
the loan is anticipated to be made by Rainbow Programming from one or a
combination of the following: (i) internally generated funds; (ii) refinancing
the existing Rainbow Programming $202 million credit facility; (iii) refinancing
the existing $57 million credit agreement of AMCC; (iv) the sale of equity
interests in, or assets of, the programming businesses; and (v) advances from
the Restricted Group.  The loan is secured by a pledge of the Company's stock in
Rainbow Programming and is guaranteed by the subsidiaries of Rainbow Programming
as permitted.

Rainbow Programming's financing needs have been funded by the Restricted Group's
investments in and advances to Rainbow Programming, by sales of equity interests
in the programming businesses and, in the case of one of the programming
businesses, through separate external debt financing.  The Company expects that
the future cash needs of Rainbow Programming's current programming partnerships
will increasingly be met by internally generated funds, although certain of such
partnerships will at least in the near future rely to some extent upon their
partners (including Rainbow Programming) for certain cash needs.  The partners'
contributions may be supplemented through the sale of additional equity
interests in, or through the incurrence of indebtedness by, such programming
businesses.
