I, Gladys T. Yu-Principe, do hereby declare and state under penalty of perjury as follows:

1. I am the Senior Research Manager for Time Warner Cable Media, a subsidiary of Time

Warner Cable Inc. ("Time Warner Cable"), ultimate parent company of the operator of

the cable system involved in the foregoing Petition for Special Relief requesting that the

Nielsen Designated Market Area ("DMA") for KLEI-TV, Kailua-Kana, Hawaii be

modified to exclude for mandatory cable carriage purposes communities served by Time

Warner Cable in counties of Honolulu, Kauai, Kalawao, and Maui.

2. In my position, I regularly consult ratings for programming services carried on Time

Warner Cable cable systems, and as such, am familiar with reports produced by ratings

agencies such as Nielsen Media Research;

3. In order to determine the level of viewership of KLEI-TV in Honolulu, Maui, Kauai and

Kalawao counties, I have reviewed the Nielsen County Coverage Report for 2011, the

most current such report, which lists viewer ratings for commercial and non-commercial

stations operating in the Honolulu DMA;

4. The Nielsen Report contains no measurable ratings data for KLEI-TV in either Honolulu,

Maui, or Kauai Counties during any daypart. It is Nielsen's policy not to include any

station that fails to achieve at least a 0.5 audience share in one or more dayparts;

5. Nielsen has confirmed that ratings data for Kalawao County and any viewership from

that County would be included with Maui County; and

6. Based upon my review of available Nielsen data, KLEI either has no viewership share in

any of the affected counties, or at most its audience share falls below 0.5 in all dayparts.
