ITEM 5. OTHER EVENTS

                         Cablevision Systems Corporation and CSC Holdings, Inc. (collectively, the “Company”) hereby supplement and, to the extent any prior disclosure in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2001 (the “Form 10-K”) is inconsistent herewith, amend the Form 10-K as follows:

                         On April 29, 2002, Yankees Entertainment & Sports Network, LLC (the “YES Network”) filed a complaint against the Company in the United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The complaint arises from the failure of the YES Network and the Company to reach agreement on the carriage of programming of the YES Network (primarily New York Yankees baseball games) on the Company’s cable television systems.

                         The complaint alleges a variety of anticompetitive acts that allegedly violate Section 2 of the Sherman Act, Section 7 of the Clayton Act and Section 340 of New York’s Donnelly Act.

                         The complaint seeks declaratory judgments as to violations of laws, treble damages and injunctive relief, including an injunction requiring the Company to carry the YES Network on its cable television systems.

                         The Company believes that the claims set forth in the complaint are without merit and intends vigorously to contest the lawsuit.

ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS, PRO FORMA
FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND EXHIBITS

                         None.
