SPT’s Programming Strategy
Network/Cable
DigitalSyndication
• Expand relationship with Embassy Row (through acquisition, JV or extended deal) to create a worldwide format business using Michael Davies as an anchor
• Maintain a portfolio approach to balancing mainstream scripted development with measured, high concept programming
• Continue to work with network marketing teams on all of our network/cable series
• Work closely with our international division to develop shows that take advantage of strong international demand
• Expand our cable footprint and continue to develop new markets by creating programs for emerging networks
• Produce high-profile, tent-pole MOWs (Mayflower, Raisin in the Sun, Broken Trail)
• Expand overall deals into Digital Programming relationships (e.g., Barry Sonnenfeld)
• Establish digital sandbox for talent to participate across emerging platforms
• Produce original content for our networks
• Expand on the new Minisodes concept to leverage our existing content for digital distribution
– Adding animation and game show blocks
– Exploring “10 minute” movie opportunity
– Licensing 3rd party content for Minisodes (e.g., Voltron)
• Prepare a Power of 10 syndication pilot and sales strategy
• Work with Michael Davies, Yahoo, and Pepsi to bring The 9 to television syndication
• Examine new 1st run syndication opportunities and partnerships with Tribune and other station groups in order to guarantee access to key time periods
• Maximize court TV expertise to create and exploit efficiencies between multiple programs
17
Partnering to Drive DVR Viewership
• As of October 2007 SPT has met with TiVo and has had discussions with Echostar, Comcast, and DirecTV
– TiVo is the only business model that currently offers a clear interactive solution to reach consumers who watch time-shifted programming
– Echostar is interested in exploring possibilities around a "cross promotional" on-air campaign using our talent and brands. Comcast has licensed the TiVo Platform and will have similar opportunities as the TiVo model
• Identify opportunities to engage viewers within the growing DVR community to record SPT programs and view them within the Live+3 window
• Strike partnerships with TiVo, MSOs and satellite companies to drive viewership of our content on DVR within the Live+3 window
• Create marketing opportunities for viewers to record full seasons or offer alternative marketing ideas
Challenge
• DVR viewing is eroding traditional network viewership
• Today 21% of TV Households have DVRs and it is estimated that by 2010 that number will rise to 33%
• DVR viewing is now incorporated into Live+3 ratings

GSN and FEARnet Summary
Challenges• Launch was strong but must secure additional distribution deals
(e.g., cable carriage or online) • Need to increase ad sales, including push by Comcast to provide
leadership in dynamic ad insertion• If these don’t happen, revisit business model and ownership structureInitiatives• Closed deals with Verizon and Cox• Need to close carriage agreements with TWC and others; increase the
number of web unique users through syndication ops• Boost ad sales by:
– Hiring sponsorship marketing person to focus on multi-platform sponsorships
– Move focus from VOD ad sales to web advertising– Working to extend distribution to mobile with Verizon through SPT
Mobile Group representation– Pursing additional horror inventory verticals to aggregate unique
viewers e.g., bloodydisgusting.com• Developing original productions with Ghost HouseCable VOD Ratings• Available in 12.2 million homes• Top 10 network 11 mos. running with 6.7M views a month• 74 million views to date (launch through 9/29)• Top 5 network in set-top box use with 2.2M boxes per month • Average time spent viewing of 48 minutesWeb Ratings• #1 Horror site in America (registered users)• 200% Growth since February• 7 straight months of growth • Hitting projections for unique users
Challenges• Audience remains small and demographics skew toward an
older-female audience, which is less valuable to advertisers• Limited reach to launch hit or demo-changing shows• Improvements more difficult due to: declining ratings, fragmentation,
return of game shows to broadcast and affiliate pressures• Attempt to broaden beyond traditional demographics with
younger-male skewing poker programs proved unsuccessful
Company Plans• David Goldhill brought in as the new President & CEO• Proposed a merger between GSN and FUN Technologies to
facilitate interactive strategy• Embracing existing older-female demographic, gradually seeking to
get marginally younger• Expanding business to capitalize on growth of casual games • Making accessible participation and interactivity central to all
programming• Seeking multi-platform games business model: packaging, online
ad sales, online fees, formats, mobile, etc.
Next Steps for SPT• Evaluate potential success of new strategy• Determine interest in further investment or exiting GSN investment

Strategy Overview
• Coordinating expanded digital rights across distribution partners and windows
–Offering “all rights under one roof” (broadcast, cable, IPTV, satellite, Internet and mobile) to ensure close coordination and maximize revenue per account
• Capitalizing on the opportunity to offer a broader range of rights to a wider range of buyers
–Non-traditional competitors (Comcast, AT&T) are buying content and rights for emerging platforms (VOD/Internet/Mobile); established players are expanding rights to stay competitive
–We are strategically tailoring rights and product offerings to customers’ business objectives
–We are providing advertisers new opportunities to connect with a more targeted audience
• Distributing more content across more platforms to drive revenue growth
–Off broadcast (Rules of Engagement, Power of 10)
–Off cable (Rescue Me, Damages, MyBoys)
–1st run (Judge David Young)
–Internet developed shows (The 9, Buried Alive)
–Library product online and on mobile (Who’s the Boss?, Monty Python)
–3rd party acquisitions (G.B.B., Just for Laughs)
–New library strategies (Minisodes network)
–Work with feature acquisitions to monetize product

Free TV / Basic Cable
Market Dynamic MRP Initiatives
• Networks are more selective on what they buy due to increased appetite for original programming
• Networks need more rights to compete with emerging digital platforms
• Increasing number of viewing opportunities in earlier windows (digital rental, PPV) makes it more difficult to maintain value in the Free TV window
• Aggressive sales efforts for King of Queens 2nd cycle
• Utilizing newly-developed ratings and competitive database to support library sales
• SPT is employing new strategic initiatives for movies and TV shows, and licensing new rights
–Updated internal system for tracking ratings–Shorter and dual windowing–Inclusion of barter–Repurposing–Multi-platform simulcasting and multiplexing–Network VOD/SVOD–Network-branded MSO VOD–EST
• Converting “event” movie buyers and non-movie buyers into ongoing buyers
–“Event” movie buyers like Hallmark, G4, and E! transitioned to ongoing buyers
–Close initial sales of films with current non-movie buyers like TV Land, Nick @ Nite, and Soapnet

Overview of Ad Sales Environment
• The market has improved recently, driven partly by the new C3 ratings system– C3 coincided with recovery in the up-front market– The new system decreased total ratings points, driving near-term price increases– C3 is also creating opportunities for product integration
• We are addressing the aging of our core programs and continuing to seek growth in traditional TV categories
– We are partially offsetting rating declines for our older shows by reformatting commercial placements and taking advantage of C3 benefits for syndicated shows
– Expanding our cable business (Tennis Channel, Mojo) given the challenges of securing satellite representation
– Selling program-by-program to grow the :10 business
• We are also driving growth by expanding beyond our traditional TV business– Increased 3rd party representation– HD advertising marketplace still growing– Emerging opportunities in digital ad sales (e.g., Screening Room/MediaFlo)– Growth in new platforms, including in-game advertising
