Oct 05, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- CVC | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Cablevision Systems announced the appointment of David Ellen as the company's executive VP and general counsel.

In this role, Ellen will oversee and direct Cablevision's legal affairs company-wide. He will report to Cablevision President and CEO James L. Dolan.

Ellen joined Cablevision in 2004 as senior VP and general counsel, cable, telecommunications and programming, and in October 2008, was promoted to executive VP and general counsel, cable and communications. During those five years, Ellen oversaw and directed the legal affairs of Cablevision's cable and telecommunications businesses as well as News 12 Networks, the Rainbow ad sales organization and Newsday Media Group. He also assisted Rainbow, during part of that time, with its legal affairs. In addition, he served as lead in-house counsel on a variety of strategic legal matters such as the issues related to the development of Cablevision's RS-DVR technology and the subsequent litigation over its lawfulness.

From 2001 to 2004, Ellen served as VP and deputy general counsel of IAC, where he worked closely with the general counsel to oversee IAC's corporate legal affairs, including board and corporate governance issues and legal support on numerous domestic and foreign acquisitions. Previously, he served as general counsel for Eureka Broadband, a private New York-based telecommunications company, which provided high-speed data and voice services to commercial customers.

Prior to these two positions, Ellen worked for Cablevision as senior counsel in the company's government affairs department from 1997 to 2000. In this role, he was responsible for a range of regulatory and legal matters related to the company's cable and telecommunications services, and he helped develop positions and strategies on key regulatory policy issues. Ellen came to Cablevision after working for the Federal Communications Commission as a special counsel focusing on the implementation of the Telecommunications Act of 1996.
