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 September 30, 1995 presented in this
Form 10-Q 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 included in the Company's Annual Report
on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994.

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, 1995.


Note 3.   LOSS PER COMMON SHARE

Net loss per common share is computed based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding.  Common stock equivalents were not included in the
computation as their effect would be to decrease net loss per share.


Note 4.   CASH FLOWS

For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, the Company considers
short-term investments with a maturity at date of purchase of three months or
less to be cash equivalents.  The Company paid cash interest expense of
approximately

                                   (Unaudited)


Note 4.   CASH FLOWS (continued)

$181,290 and $129,361 for the nine months ended September 30, 1995 and 1994,
respectively.  The Company's noncash financing activities for the nine months
ended September 30, 1994 included capital lease obligations of $4,020 incurred
when the Company entered into leases for new equipment.


Note 5.   RECENT DEVELOPMENTS

On October 16, 1995, the Board of Directors of the Company elected
James L. Dolan to succeed Charles F. Dolan as Chief Executive Officer of the
Company effective immediately.  Charles F. Dolan remains as Chairman of the
Board of the Company.  James L. Dolan, a son of Charles F. Dolan, has been Chief
Executive Officer of Rainbow Programming Holdings, Inc. since 1992 and has been
a member of the Board of Directors of the Company since 1991.

On September 26, 1995, the Company issued 2.5 million shares of its 11-3/4%
Series G Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series G Preferred
Stock") with an aggregate liquidation preference of $250,000.  The Company is
required to redeem the Series G Preferred Stock on October 1, 2007 at a
redemption price per share equal to the liquidation preference of $100 per
share, plus accrued and unpaid dividends thereon.  Before October 1, 2000,
dividends may, at the option of the Company, be paid in cash or by issuing fully
paid and nonassessable shares of Series G Preferred Stock with an aggregate
liquidation preference equal to the amount of such dividends.  On and after
October 1, 2000, dividends must be paid in cash.  The terms of the Series G
Preferred Stock permit the Company, at its option, after January 1, 1996, to
exchange the Series G Preferred Stock for the Company's 11-3/4% Senior
Subordinated Debentures due 2007 (the "11-3/4% Debentures") in an aggregate
principal amount equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the shares of
Series G Preferred Stock.  The net proceeds of approximately $240,000 were
initially used to repay bank debt.  The Company reborrowed $103,000 on
October 26, 1995 to redeem its outstanding Series E Preferred Stock.

ACQUISITIONS. In March 1994, the Company completed the acquisition of North
Coast Cable; in July 1994, the Company through Rainbow Programming Holdings,
Inc. ("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 Associates ("Monmouth Cable") and Riverview
Cablevision Associates, L.P. ("Riverview Cable" and collectively with Monmouth
Cable, "Monmouth/Riverview").  In addition, in July 1995, Rainbow Programming
consummated the purchase of the 50% interest in SportsChannel (New York)
Associates ("SCNY") and Rainbow News 12 Company ("RN12") that was previously
owned by National Broadcasting Company ("NBC"), whose results are now
consolidated with those of the Company.  The foregoing acquisitions will
collectively be referred to as the "Acquisitions".

REVENUES for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1995 increased $195.6
million (33%) and $54.7 million (24%), respectively, when compared to the same
periods in 1994.  Increases of 21% and 12%, respectively, for the nine and three
month periods were attributable to the Acquisitions, with the remaining increase
of 12% in each period resulting primarily from internal growth in the average
number of subscribers (approximately 147,500 (10%) for the nine month period)
and to increases in revenues attributable to other sources such as pay-per-view
and advertising.

TECHNICAL EXPENSES increased 40% and 35%, respectively, for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1995 over the corresponding 1994 periods.  Increases
of approximately 22% and 17% for the respective nine and three month periods
were directly attributable to the Acquisitions.  The remaining 18% increase in
each period was due primarily to increases in those costs directly associated
with the internal growth in the average number of subscribers mentioned above as
well as to increases in programming rates for certain of the Company's cable
television services.  As a percentage of revenues, technical expenses increased
2% and 3%, respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1995
over the same 1994 periods.

SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES increased 60% and 28%,
respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 30, 1995 over the
comparable 1994 periods.  Increases of 24% and 9% for the respective periods
resulted from the  Acquisitions.  During 1995 and 1994, selling general and
administrative expenses include non-cash adjustments related to an incentive
stock plan.  Excluding these adjustments, and the effects of the Acquisitions
discussed above, selling, general and administrative expenses would have
increased 20% and 34%, respectively, for the nine and three months ended
September 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 1% and 3% for the respective periods.

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 16% and 13%,
respectively, for the nine and three months ended September 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 35% and 17%, respectively, for
the nine and three months ended September 30, 1995 over the comparable 1994
periods.  Increases of approximately 36% and 37% were attributable to the
Acquisitions.  Decreases of 1% and 20%, respectively, for the nine and three
month periods were the net result of increased depreciation charges on capital
expenditures made during 1995 and 1994, being more than offset by decreased
depreciation and amortization charges on assets which became fully depreciated
or amortized during the periods.

NET INTEREST EXPENSE increased 25% and 16%, respectively, for the nine and three
months ended September 30, 1995 compared to the same 1994 periods.  Increases of
14% and 8%, respectively, were related to the Acquisitions.  Remaining increases
of 11% and 8%, respectively, resulted primarily from higher average debt levels,
reflecting the capital expenditures referred to above, as well as from generally
higher interest rates.

SHARE OF AFFILIATES' NET LOSSES increased from $54.7 million to $73.1 million
for the nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 1995 and
1994 amounted to $66.0 million and $55.8 million, respectively, and in the net
(income) losses of certain programming businesses, in which the Company has
varying ownership interests, which aggregated $7.1 million and $(1.1) million
for the respective periods.

GAIN ON SALE OF AFFILIATE INTERESTS  resulted from the collection of previously
reserved interest of $15.5 million on advances to a cable television affiliate
which was sold during the third quarter of 1995 and to a gain of $20.7 million
on the sale of the Company's interests in a programming partnership.

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.

RESTRICTED GROUP

On September 26, 1995, the Company issued 2,500,000 shares of its 11-3/4% Series
G Redeemable Exchangeable Preferred Stock (the "Series G Preferred Stock").  The
net proceeds of approximately $240 million were initially used to repay bank
debt.  The Company reborrowed $103 million on October 26, 1995 to redeem its
outstanding Series E Preferred Stock.

On October 24, 1995, the Company commenced a public offering of its Series I
Cumulative Convertible Exchangeable Preferred Stock with an aggregate
liquidation preference of $300 million and of $250 million principal amount of
its Senior Subordinated Notes due 2005.  The proceeds from these two offerings,
if completed, will be used to reduce existing bank debt and for general
corporate purposes.  The Preferred Stock and the Notes are being offered under
the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3, declared effective on
October 18, 1995.

On October 26, 1995, the Restricted Group, including CNYC, had total usage under
its $1.5 billion credit agreement (including credit facilities for CNYC and CNJ,
collectively the "Credit Agreement") of $1,046 million and letters of credit of
$20.4 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 $433.6 million at October 26, 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 October 26, 1995, the Company and CNYC had outstanding 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 September 30, 1995 was approximately 8.3%.

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

The Company intends to incur additional expenditures to sufficiently upgrade its
plant to significantly increase its analog channel capacity and add new digital
channel capacity that will facilitate the startup of such adjunct businesses as
information services, video on demand and near video on demand, and residential
telephony.  To implement successfully and roll out these adjunct new businesses
beyond the initial development phases, the Company will require additional
capital from the sale of equity in the capital markets or to a strategic
investor.

V CABLE

General Electric Capital Corporation ("GECC") has provided a term loan (the "V
Cable Term Loan") to V Cable in the amount of $26.6 million, as of September 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, Inc. ("VC Holding") and
GECC, GECC has extended to VC Holding a $501.9 million term loan (the "Series A
Term Loan"), a $265.4 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 October 26, 1995, VC Holding had no amounts outstanding
under the Revolving Line but did have letters of credit issued approximating
$0.9 million.  Accordingly, unrestricted and undrawn funds under the VC Holding
Revolving Line amounted to approximately $24.1 million on October 26, 1995.

The VC Holding Credit Agreement also provides for the assumption by VC Holding
of certain loans of U.S. Cable Television Group, L.P. ("U.S. Cable"), the
present value of which amounted to $94.7 million at September 30, 1995.

The Company, V Cable and VC Holding have entered into a general, non-binding
letter of intent with GECC.  In the transactions contemplated by the letter of
intent, the Company would issue to GECC preferred stock having an initial
aggregate liquidation preference of $500 million for an aggregate  purchase
price of %500 million.  Fifty percent of the preferred stock would become
convertible into the Company's Class A Common Stock four years after the
date of issuance and the remaining fifty percent would become convertible
into the Company's Class A Common Stock six years after the date of issuance
(unless conversion is accelerated upon an event of default), in each case,
in whole or in part, and at a conversion rate based upon the trading value
of the Class A Common Stock at the time of conversion. The terms of the
preferred stock would give the Company the right to redeem the preferred
stock for cash at any time prior to conversion although there can be no
assurance that the Company will be able to do so. It is also anticipated that
the Company would grant GECC registration rights with respect to the
preferred stock and to the Class A Common

                                      (15)

                         CABLEVISION SYSTEMS CORPORATION

Stock issuable upon any conversion of such preferred stock.  The Company would
make an equity capial contribution to V Cable of the gross proceeds from such
issuance and V Cable would apply such amounts as set forth below.

As part of the proposed transactions contemplated by the letter of intent
(together with the issuance of the preferred stock to GECC, the "Proposed
V Cable Transactions"), the $500 million capital contribution received by
V Cable would be applied as follows:  (i) approximately $27 million to repay
V Cable's outstanding indebtedness to GECC; (ii) approximately $95 million to
repay to GECC a portion of the debt of U.S. Cable payable by V Cable under
certain circumstances; (iii) approximately $328 million to repay to GECC a
portion of VC Holding's indebtedness; and (iv) approximately $50 million would
be used by VC Holding to make a preferred capital contribution to U.S. Cable as
discussed below.

The Proposed V Cable Transactions also contemplate that V Cable will enter into
one or more agreements pursuant to which, following the receipt of any required
franchise and regulatory approvals, (i) the U.S. Cable partnership will redeem
the 80% of U.S. Cable's partnership interests not already owned by V Cable for
approximately $4 million, (ii) VC Holding will make a preferred capital
contribution to U.S. Cable of approximately $50 million, and (iii) the U.S.
Cable partnership will refinance $165 million of U.S. Cable indebtedness payable
to GECC.

As part of the Proposed V Cable Transactions, GECC would also agree to provide
two new credit facilities, a $325 million three year revolving credit facility
for V Cable's Ohio subsidiary (approximately $215 million of which would be
drawn upon entering into such agreement) and a $260 million two year revolving
credit facility for V Cable's Long Island subsidiary (approximately $224 million
of which would be drawn upon entering into such agreement).  The initial amounts
drawn under the respective revolving credit facilities will be used to repay all
remaining VC Holding debt to GECC.  Both the Ohio and Long Island credit
facilities would be entered into upon completion of final documentation and the
receipt of any required franchise or regulatory approvals.

The letter of intent between the Company and GECC is a general, non-binding
letter of intent.  There can be no assurance that the Proposed V Cable
Transactions will be consummated or will be consummated in the form described in
the letter of intent.  If the Proposed V Cable Transactions, or similar
transactions with respect to V Cable, fail to occur, then V Cable believes that
it is likely that it will be unable to meet certain of its financial covenants
as of December 31, 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 Company's Restricted Group.  During 1995, the Restricted
Group has made equity contributions aggregating $2.3 million to enable V Cable
to meet certain of its financial covenants.  There can be no

                                      (16)

                         CABLEVISION SYSTEMS CORPORATION


assurance as to V Cable's ability to accomplish either 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 credit 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 October 26, 1995,
Monmouth/Riverview had outstanding bank borrowings of $206.2 million.
Unrestricted and undrawn funds available to Monmouth/Riverview under the
Monmouth/Riverview Credit Facility amounted to approximately $78.8 million at
October 26, 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 September 30, 1995 was approximately 8.5%.

Monmouth/Riverview has outstanding 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 approximately one year.

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

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 Rainbow Programming's original $105
million credit facility.  On July 12, 1995 Rainbow Programming consummated the
purchase of NBC's 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 Programming'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.  In July 1994, the proceeds of the initial $105 million loan under the
original facility plus $76 million of equity from the Company were used to
purchase Liberty Media Corporation'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 $53 million credit agreement of AMCC
($38 million outstanding as of September 30, 1995); (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 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.
