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. 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.
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. The Commission reserves the right to return any applications if, upon further
examination, they are determined to be defective and not in conformance with the Commission's rules and policies.
