DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

NOTE 10.    DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an expense of $9,400 plus statutory interest of $8,823 (an aggregate of $10,754, net of income taxes) with respect to the decision in a case relating to Rainbow Media Holdings LLC, a business whose operations were previously discontinued (see Note 13). Income from discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 amounted to $5,318 ($2,997, net of income taxes) and resulted primarily from the settlement of a contingency related to Montana property taxes related to Bresnan Broadband Holdings, LLC, a business which was sold in 2013.
