1 Confidential Draft [DRAFT] Overview of SPT Non-Scripted Television Strategy May 2008

2 1 SPT is committed to expanding our non-scripted (game/reality) business Success requires investing to achieve scale relative to competitors Investments in the non-scripted business should be incremental to our current commitments in traditional scripted comedies and dramas In addition to our Embassy Row and 2waytraffic acquisitions, SPT will invest in partnerships with several Executive Producers/Production Companies We have an immediate opportunity to structure a partnership with Ryan Seacrest Executive Summary

3 2 Attractiveness of the Non-scripted Genre Non-Scripted formats – Game Shows and Reality Shows – are a growing segment in primetime television –There is a trend toward increased Game/Reality Show Programming during primetime hours Broadcasters increasingly rely on hit formats such as American Idol, Big Brother, Survivor, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, Deal or No Deal to bring in high ratings Non-scripted programs are cheaper to produce than scripted programs Game/reality formats are huge profit centers with high margins and long-term steady cash flow  Many major US-created reality series have been adopted abroad including: Next Top Model, Beauty and the Geek, Singing Bee, Don't Forget the Lyrics, Amazing Race, Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader and Biggest Loser There is increased ability to include interactivity (polling, voting, online play along games, etc.) Multiplatform revenue opportunities (mobile games, online games, SMS, etc.) NOTE: A 6-year trend of reality/game shows as a percentage of primetime hours for the 5 major networks.

4 3 Investment is Crucial in Order to be Competitive Networks are investing heavily in order to be a big player in the game/reality television business Game/reality shows make up 16 of the top 40 primetime programs among Adults 18-49 and represent 40% of the top 20 primetime programs among Adults 18-49 NetworkProduction/Term Deals Est.

5 4 Michael Davies’ Embassy Row will be the cornerstone of the game/reality format business –Davies has a proven track record of success in the industry and with SPT –Development of new formats will be based on SPE library product, new U.S.-based development, and acquired international formats Build a portfolio of non-scripted producers, creators and developers with experience developing/running shows and with successful track records Acquire successful international formats for domestic development –Particular focus paid to markets with proven creative credentials such as Europe, South America, India and Australia –This has proven to be a very successful formula  Example: For the Fall 2008-2009 season, 6 of the 18 reality/game shows on network primetime are from foreign formats - 4 from England, 1 from Sweden and 1 from Holland Leverage SPE infrastructure for global distribution, sales and production Partner with 2waytraffic to distribute content and sell formats internationally Utilize SPTI’s global production partners to increase local language development SPT Game/Reality Growth Strategy SPT plans to grow the non-scripted business, in addition to its traditional focus on scripted comedies and dramas
