######### CABLE SERVICES BUREAU ACTION 

**March 27, 2000**

**AMERICA ONLINE, INC. AND TIME WARNER INC. SEEK FCC CONSENT FOR A
PROPOSED TRANSFER OF CONTROL**

**CS DOCKET NO. 00-30**

**Petitions/Comments due: April 26, 2000**

**Oppositions/Responses due: May 11, 2000**

On February 11, 2000, America Online, Inc. (AOL) and Time Warner Inc.
(Time Warner) filed joint applications under Sections 214 and 310(d) of
the Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 214, 310(d), requesting Commission
approval of the transfer of control to AOL Time Warner of licenses and
authorizations controlled by AOL and by Time Warner or its affiliates or
subsidiaries. On March 21, 2000, the parties supplied the Commission
with a supplemental public interest statement.[^1] This transfer of
control would take place as the result of the proposed merger of AOL and
Time Warner, following which both AOL and Time Warner would become
wholly owned subsidiaries of a newly formed holding company, AOL Time
Warner. The ultimate ownership and control of those entities holding
licenses and authorizations would be transferred from AOL and Time
Warner to AOL Time Warner.

AOL and Time Warner submit that the public interest will benefit from
the proposed transaction which will combine the strengths of the two
companies to build an integrated media and communications company
capable of enhancing consumers' access to the broadest selection of
high-quality content and interactive services.

Interested parties may file comments or petitions to deny the
applications no later than **April 26, 2000**. Oppositions or responses
to these comments and petitions may be filed no later than **May 11,
2000**.

For administrative convenience, the various applications listed below
have been consolidated into one general docket. The Cable Services
Bureau will have primary responsibility for reviewing the applications.
All filings regarding any aspect of the proposed merger should reference
the Cable Services docket assigned to this proceeding, **CS Docket No.
00-30.**

***EX PARTE* STATUS OF THIS PROCEEDING**

Because this proceeding involves broad public policy issues, the Cable
Services Bureau will treat the proceeding as \"permit but disclose\" for
purposes of the Commission\'s *ex parte* rules. *See generally* 47
C.F.R. §§ 1.1200-1.1216. Should circumstances warrant, the Bureau may
designate this proceeding and all interrelated proceedings as
restricted. As a \"permit but disclose\" proceeding, *ex parte*
presentations will be governed by the procedures set forth in Section
1.1206 of the Commission\'s rules applicable to non-restricted
proceedings.[^2]

Parties making oral *ex parte* presentations are reminded that memoranda
summarizing the presentation must contain a summary of the substance of
the presentation and not merely a listing of the subjects discussed.
More than a one or two sentence description of the views and arguments
presented is generally required. *See* 47 C.F.R. § 1.1206(b)(2), as
revised. Other rules pertaining to oral and written presentations are
set forth in Section 1.1206 (b) as well. Interested parties are to file
with the Commission Secretary, Magalie Roman Salas, 445 12th Street,
S.W., TW B204, Washington, D.C. 20554, and serve James Bird, Office of
General Counsel, 445 12th Street, S.W., 8-C818, Washington, D.C. 20554,
To-Quyen Truong, Associate Chief, Cable Services Bureau, 445 12th
Street, S.W., 3-C488, Washington, D.C. 20554, Royce Dickens, Cable
Services Bureau, 445 12th Street, S.W., 3-A729, Washington, D.C. 20554,
Linda Senecal, Cable Services Bureau, 445 12th Street, S.W., 3-A734,
Washington, D.C. 20554, and International Transcription Service, Inc.,
1231 20th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C. 20036, with copies of any
written *ex parte* presentations in these proceedings filed in the
manner specified above.

**TRANSFER OF CONTROL APPLICATIONS**

The applications for transfer of control of Time Warner's and AOL's
authorizations and licenses to AOL Time Warner include numerous
Commission authorizations and licenses. Attached is a list of the
authorizations and licenses involved in this transaction. They are
separated by type of authorization and license, and, within each
category, by the subsidiary or affiliate that holds the authorization or
license. Each subsidiary or affiliate may hold multiple authorizations
or licenses of a particular type. Interested parties should refer to the
transfer of control applications for a listing of the authorizations or
licenses. Parties should be aware that additional applications may have
to be filed to identify any additional authorizations in the services
noted. AOL and Time Warner have requested that grant of the applications
listed herein include the authority for AOL Time Warner to acquire
control of: (1) any authorization issued to AOL or Time Warner or
subsidiaries and affiliates during the Commission\'s consideration of
the transfer of control applications and the period required for
consummation of the transaction following Commission approval; (2)
construction permits held by licensees involved in this transfer of
control that mature into licenses after closing and that may have been
omitted from the transfer of control applications; and (3) applications
that will have been filed by such licensees and that are pending at the
time of consummation of the proposed transfer of control.

**GENERAL INFORMATION**

The applications for transfer of control of the licenses/authorizations
referenced herein have, upon initial review, been accepted for filing.

further examination, they are determined to be defective and not in

[^1]: ^?^On March 6, 2000, FCC General Counsel Christopher Wright
    requested that AOL and Time Warner amend their filing by providing
    additional information necessary to substantiate claims made in the
    February 11 public interest statement, so that the public may have a
    more meaningful opportunity to comment.

[^2]: ^?^An *ex parte* presentation is any communication (spoken or
    written) directed to the merits or outcome of a proceeding made to a
    Commissioner, a Commissioner\'s assistant, or other decision-making
    staff member, that, if written, is not served on other parties to
    the proceeding or, if oral, is made without an opportunity for all
    parties to be present. 47 C.F.R. Sec. 1.1201.
