Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Cablevision Systems Corporation:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cablevision Systems Corporation and
subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010, and the related consolidated statements of income,
comprehensive income, stockholders' deficiency, and cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period
ended December 31, 2011. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also
have audited the financial statement schedules listed in Item 15(a)(2). These consolidated financial statements
and financial statement schedules are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance
about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a
test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating
the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects,
the financial position of Cablevision Systems Corporation and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2010,
and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three-year period ended
December 31, 2011, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion,
the related financial statement schedules, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial
statements taken as a whole, present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board
(United States), Cablevision Systems Corporation and subsidiaries' internal control over financial reporting as
of December 31, 2011, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the
Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated
February 28, 2012 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control
over financial reporting.
