ORDER
Adopted:  January 10, 2017 Released: January 10, 2017
By the Associate General Counsel, Administrative Law Division:
1. Pending before the Commission is a Motion for Extension of Time (Motion) filed by 
Game Show Network, LLC (GSN) on January 5, 2017.  GSN requests an extension of time for replying to 
Cablevision Systems Corporation’s (Cablevision) Petition to Stay Chief Administrative Law Judge 
Sippel’s initial decision in this proceeding.
1
  GSN has conferred with Cablevision and the Enforcement 
Bureau, and represents that neither party opposes this request.
2
2. GSN seeks a three-day extension of the time in which it may file its opposition to the 
Stay Petition (from January 10, 2017 to January 13, 2017).
3
  GSN states that January 13, 2017 is the date 
on which it will file its replies to Cablevision’s (1) Exceptions to the Initial Decision, and (2) Opposition 
to Petition to Compel Compliance. Those filing dates are pursuant to a schedule approved by an Order 
granting a previous Motion for Extension of Time by GSN.
4
  GSN states that the short extension of time 
will enable GSN to align the filing of multiple pleadings, all of which consider interrelated issues from 
this proceeding’s large and complex record.
5
  GSN states that, in particular, Cablevision’s Stay Petition

request for stay to be filed within seven days after the request is filed).

(Consolidation Order).
5
Motion at 2.
Federal Communications Commission DA 17-41
2
relates closely to its Opposition to GSN’s Petition to Compel Compliance.
6
  
3. While it is the Commission’s policy that extensions of time are not routinely granted,
7
GSN’s request is supported by good cause and consistent with the reasoning in the Consolidation Order.
8
  
Three additional days will allow parties to more efficiently respond to related pleadings by aligning due 
dates without creating undue delay.  Additionally, all parties to the hearing consent to the proposed 
extension.  
4. ACCORDINGLY, IT IS ORDERED that pursuant to the authority set forth in 47 C.F.R. 
§ 0.251(b)(1), GSN’s January 5, 2017 Motion for Extension of Time IS GRANTED, and oppositions to 
Cablevision’s Petition to Stay the Initial Decision will be due no later than January 13, 2017.
