A copy of the letter from the Dolan Family Group is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

        On October 9, 2006, Cablevision’s Board of Directors appointed a special transaction committee, which consists of Thomas V. Reifenheiser and Vice Admiral John R. Ryan USN (Ret.), to evaluate and act on the proposal from the Dolan Family Group. The special transaction committee intends to proceed in a deliberate and timely manner. There can be no assurance that any agreement on financial and other terms satisfactory to the special transaction committee will result from the committee’s evaluation or negotiation of the proposal or that any corporate transaction recommended by the special transaction committee will be completed.
