FEARnet Summary

Challenges

Initiatives

Cable VODRatings

Web Ratings

• America’s #1 horror site

• Average unique users for 2Q08 up 226% over 2Q07

• Unique users hit a historic high in July 2008 (700k), up 250% from July 2007

• FEARnet.com ranked as one of the top 15 movie sites by PCMagazine.com

• VOD only model is not viable long-term

– Limits potential viewers, ad opportunities, and distributors capable of VOD

• Need to increase ad sales across all platforms

• Dynamic ad insertion required to maximize revenues

• Continue to exploit FEARnet’s recent move to LA to improve coordination

• Launch FEARnet linear with DirecTV investment as the critical first step

• Ensure Comcast also launches linear version

• Significantly expand ad sales

– Expand inventory through linear channels

– Need Comcast to provide leadership in dynamic ad insertion

• Comcast’s #1 VOD provider for Free Movies

• 5 of the top 10 free movie titles on Comcast in 2008 are FEARnet titles [# SPE titles]

• 2Q08 VOD views increased 50% over 2Q07 (averaging 10MM views per month)

• Currently in 30MM homes; adding Time Warner in August

Page 37: Mid Range Plan Fiscal Years 2009 – 2012 October 2008 [DRAFT – as of 9/26]

37

HD Channel Opportunity

• Near-term demand for HD has re-opened window for carriage of new networks

– Increased capacity through new satellites and services (e.g., IPTV)

– HD content being used as a differentiator among service providers

– Limited window as more SDTV will become HDTV

• Although HD could serve as an entry point, the opportunity lies in evolving to a true “Sony Entertainment Television Network”

– Leverage the strength “Sony” as the brand for HD

– Build on our expertise in original content, ad sales, and large film and TV library

– Share programming with our digital assets, including Crackle and eventually PSN

• We are evaluating three potential methods of entry

– “Build” strategy: Use library to secure carriage and minimize investment; new channel on-par with MGM HD

– “Partner” strategy: Invest in a smaller HD player (e.g., HD Net); use the Sony brand and library to reinvigorate and grow the channel

– “Buy” strategy: Acquire a sizable channel and better define channel voice and grow audience by leveraging all Sony assets

Syndication

Market Dynamic MRP Initiatives

• While national ad sales growth is flat, local advertising is struggling

• Local station market is challenged with stations generally decreasing license fees

• To succeed, new shows need to be established brands

• Transition to digital (Feb ’09) opening up additional programming opportunities

• Stations looking to build websites and create new revenue opportunities through sponsorable, streaming content

• Launch Dr. Oz in Fall ’09 as the cornerstone of our first run syndication business

– Sell market-by-market to maximize show value (best time slot, station, etc)

– Partner with stations to create a Dr. Oz network (combining linear, digital, and physical reach)

– Already cleared in approx [45%] of the country with leading affiliates

• Build off recent successes of court shows and secure additional double runs and upgraded time slots in key markets

• Provide local stations with non-exclusive streaming rights (with inventory hold backs)

• Leverage digital transition as opportunity to increase library sales

Harpo / Dr. Oz

MRP Assumptions

Strategy

• SPT has entered into a distribution relationship with Harpo, one of the most successful independent producers in TV history

• Dr. Oz will be the first Harpo show distributed by SPT

– Show launch with leverage the power of the Oprah platform to build awareness and grow audience

– Complemented by an immersive online experience that will generate meaningful traffic and revenues

• Dr. Oz will serve as a foundation for a deeper partnership that has the potential to redefine SPT’s first run syndication business

– Provides access to top talent and shows through MRP time horizon

– Gets us in business with top affiliates

• Dr. Oz launches in 09/10 and continues throughout the plan

• TBD Harpo launches in 10/11 and continues throughout the plan

Free TV / Basic Cable

Market Dynamic MRP Initiatives

• Library product faces challenges

– Networks are more selective in what library product they buy due to increased appetite for original programming

– Our library continues to age

– Increasing number of viewing opportunities in earlier windows limits ability to maintain value in Free TV

• Network audiences continue to fragment

– Continued growth in the number of cable platforms and original programming

– Increased competition from emerging digital platforms and new entertainment options

• To remain competitive, networks seeking new digital assets, rights, and windows

• Continue to aggressively sell theatrical releases and library product

– Sell King of Queens in second cable cycle

– Use showcase packages to drive demand

– Extend client base to include smaller cable networks (e.g., G4, ESPN) by offering tailored products

• Use additional windows, assets, and rights to enhance offering and create new sales opportunities

– Sell to multiple cable nets in same window (e.g., “The Jeffersons” on TV Land and BET)

– Create new digital assets (e.g., Minisodes) to complement linear programs

– Sell streaming rights to existing episodes and make simultaneously available on multiple platforms

– Develop modern extensions of older library assets to monetize on emerging platforms (e.g., Cinemactive)

MRP Initiatives

Source: SNL Kagan, 2007; excludes adult content and events

• Cable VOD will continue to drive overall growth

• Satellite providers aggressively competing against Cable VOD with push/pull products and HD

• All cable and satellite players are enhancing offerings through IPVOD

• Studios continue to explore Day-and-Date VOD as opportunity to increase margins

• Telecos are rapidly expanding into VOD but only expected to contribute 10% of total market revenues

• Drive views with major partners (DirecTV, Dish, and iN Demand) through marketing initiatives

• Exploit demand for 1080i and 1080p HD content to improve traditional VOD economics and studio copy protection / security

• Continue to explore Day-and-Date as an opportunity to charge premiums and test earlier windows to determine price, timing, and other key terms

– Benefits must outweigh DVD cannibalization

Pay TV Strategy

Market Dynamic MRP Initiatives

• Paramount & Showtime recently terminated output deal over steep decline in renewal offer

• Paramount’s new Pay TV joint venture (MGM, Lionsgate, and Viacom) has yet to secure distribution

– In near term, major titles do not have Pay TV window

• HBO, Starz, and Showtime are buying individual titles on the open market for a fraction of market Pay TV rate

• All players are investing in original content, diverting money from acquisitions to production

– Showtime enjoying recent success– Starz trying to define brand– HBO struggling to replace Sopranos

• HBO, Starz, and Showtime seeking cross-platform rights as a differentiator and to help secure carriage

• Starz to remain our primary output partner through MRP time horizon

– Recently exercised the option; deal will now expire December 31, 2013

• Negotiating with Starz for a new extension through 2016, key terms include

– Rate card for 2014-2016– Annual cap on titles– Cross platform rights

• Overall market conditions support renewal– Rate card in an extension would remain

above market– Secures renewal in advance of an expected

decline in overall Pay TV license fees– Proposed cap exceeds our historical and

anticipated output– Starz in litigation with other major studio

partner, increasing our leverage– Opportunity to use digital rights to improve

negotiating position

Digital Licensing

Market Dynamic MRP Initiatives

• Digital pure plays offer a more compelling experience than service from traditional retailers

– Apple continues to dominate digital licensing

– Verizon, Sprint, and Netflix are growing

– Brick and mortar retailers (e.g., Wal-Mart, Best Buy) are not competitive online

• Technologies that create new viewing experiences are also gaining traction

– Netflix Roku box sold out at retail

– Connected consoles (PS3, Xbox) are increasingly being used for video

– Apple TV is gaining popularity

• Data on DST / VOD mix is limited, but has skewed toward DST to-date

– With same titles available on DST and VOD, roughly [xx%] of units have been DST

– Mix may shift toward VOD as services migrate to set-top-box devices

• Continue to expand overall content offering across business models and platforms

– Renew Netflix SVOD agreement

– Broaden selection of film and TV product on VOD and DST basis

– Continue to find new ways to reach consumers on emerging platforms and devices

• Maximize value of assets through merchandising, operations, and windowing

– Work directly with partners to promote SPE content and secure valuable real estate

– Leverage operational efficiencies to improve title and partner performance

– Coordinate closely with SPT distribution team to maximize value of windows

Additional Growth Opportunities

3rd Party Representation Acquisitions

• Third party representation continues to be core to SPTAS’ overall growth strategy

- Diversifies portfolio beyond SPT content

- Expands inventory and cash-flow footprint

- Leverages existing sales force and advertiser relationships

• We are currently pursuing representation of several emerging opportunities

- New linear networks (RTL, Starz Retoplex)

- Direct Response (World Link, sports nets)

- PlayStation (PSN, PS Home)

• However, growth through 3rd parties is limited

- Narrow window of opportunity to represent networks (can’t be too small or too big)

- SPT does not participate in the upside that it helps to create

• SPTAS is looking to complement its current growth strategy through acquisitions

- Similar benefits to 3rd party business plus it enables SPT to build and retain enterprise value

• Exploring opportunities to acquire a direct response company (e.g., World Link)

- Provides new type of inventory to hedge against ad market fluctuations

- Creates entry point for broader network relationships

- Enhances 2waytraffic pipeline

• Supporting SPT’s initiative to acquire or partner on an HD linear network

- Gives SPT dedicated inventory

- Delivers immediate scale to business
