                                    Exhibit A

               Marianne Dolan Weber is currently one of the trustees (a
"Trustee") of each of the trusts listed in the table below (the "Trusts"), which
as of September 10, 1996 (after giving effect to the transaction reported in the
foregoing Schedule 13D) own in the aggregate 654,855 shares of Class B Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class B Common Stock"), of Cablevision
Systems Corporation, a Delaware Corporation (the "Issuer"). Class B Common Stock
is convertible at the option of the holder share for share into Class A Common
Stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), of the Issuer.
Mrs. Weber has an economic interest in such shares, and, as a Trustee of the
Trusts, has the shared power to vote and dispose of such shares. Under certain
rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, so long as Mrs. Weber retains
such powers, she is deemed to have beneficial ownership thereof for purposes of
Schedule 13D reporting. In addition, Mrs. Weber individually owns 1,000 shares
of Class A Common Stock.

               The following table lists each Trust's name and the name of its
beneficiary or description of its beneficiary class.


Name of Trust                Beneficiary


DC Marianne Trust            Marianne Dolan Weber

Dolan Grandchildren Trust    All children and grandchildren of Charles F. Dolan
                             living at any time and from time to time.

                             time and from time to time and their spouses.

               Pursuant to the provisions of the agreements governing the
Trusts, the economic interest in the shares of the Issuer owned by each Trust is
held by such Trust's beneficiary or, if more than one, such Trust's beneficiary
class. For each of the Dolan Grandchildren Trust and the Dolan Spouse Trust,
distributions of income and principal can be made in the discretion of the
non-beneficiary Trustee, Paul Joseph Dolan, to any one or more of the members of
the Trust's beneficiary class.

The Trusts

The DC Marianne Trust

               For the DC Marianne Trust, distributions of income and principal
can be made in the discretion of the non- beneficiary Trustee, Matthew John
Dolan, to the person for whom the Trust is named, Marianne Dolan Weber (the
"Current Beneficiary"). The Current Beneficiary has the power during her life to
appoint all or part of the relevant DC Marianne Trust to or for the benefit of
one or more of her descendants. Upon the death of the Current Beneficiary, the
DC Marianne Trust, if not previously terminated, will pass as appointed by the
Current Beneficiary to or for the benefit of one or more of her descendants. Any
unappointed portion of such Trust will pass, in further trust, per stirpes to
the Current Beneficiary's then-living descendants, or if none, per stirpes to
the then-living descendants of Charles F. Dolan, or if none, among the
heirs-at-law of Charles F. Dolan. There are two Trustees of the DC Marianne
Trust, Marianne Dolan Weber and Matthew John Dolan.

The Dolan Grandchildren Trust

               The Dolan Grandchildren Trust's current beneficiary class
consists of the six children and three grandchildren of Charles F. Dolan. The
Dolan Grandchildren Trust terminates upon the death of the survivor of the
beneficiaries or upon the expiration of the applicable perpetuities period, if
not previously terminated. Upon such termination, the Dolan Grandchildren Trust
will pass as appointed by the unanimous appointment of Charles F. Dolan's
children or by the survivor of them, otherwise by the unanimous appointment of
Charles F. Dolan's grandchildren or by the survivor of them, to one or more
persons or charitable organizations. Any unappointed portion of the Dolan
Grandchildren Trust will pass, in further trust, per stirpes to the then-living
descendants of Charles F. Dolan, or if none, among the heirs-at-law of Charles
F. Dolan. Other than Marianne Dolan Weber, there are two other Trustees of the
Dolan Grandchildren Trust, Thomas Charles Dolan and Paul Joseph Dolan.

The Dolan Spouse Trust

               The Dolan Spouse Trust's current beneficiary class consists of
the six children and three grandchildren of Charles F. Dolan and the spouses of
three of these children. The Dolan Spouse Trust terminates upon the death of the
survivor of Charles F. Dolan's children and their spouses,

<PAGE>   9
CUSIP No. 12686C-10-9               13D





if not previously terminated. Upon such termination, the Dolan Spouse Trust will
pass as appointed by the unanimous appointment of Charles F. Dolan's children or
by the survivor of them to or for the benefit of any one or more persons or
charitable organizations. Any unappointed portion of the Dolan Spouse Trust will
pass, in further trust, per stirpes to the then-living descendants of the
children of Charles F. Dolan or, if none, among the heirs- at-law of Charles F.
Dolan. Other than Marianne Dolan Weber, there are two other Trustees of the
Dolan Spouse Trust, Thomas Charles Dolan and Paul Joseph Dolan.

Beneficial Ownership of Beneficiaries and Trusts

               Beneficiaries of any Trust can be said to have only a contingent
economic interest in the securities of the Issuer held by such Trust because (a)
the non-beneficiary Trustee has the sole discretion to distribute or accumulate
the income from each Trust and the sole discretion to distribute the principal
of each Trust to the beneficiary of such Trust or, if more than one, to any one
or more of the members of such Trust's beneficiary class, and (b) the
beneficiary class for each of the Dolan Grandchildren Trust and the Dolan Spouse
Trust has not yet closed.
