--------------------------------------------------------------------- The Evening Bridge - April 26, 2005 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles Dolan, founder and chairman of Cablevision Systems, dropped a decision to reduce the size of the company's board of directors before its annual shareholders meeting held April 22, according to a FCC filing made public today. The disclosure made by Dolan reverses an earlier push to elect 75 percent of Cablevision's board of directors and reduce its size to 12 members at the next shareholders meeting in May, the filing said. In March, Dolan moved to replace four members of the board who opposed his VOOM ambitions.
