  33. 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 structure Initiatives • 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 House Cable 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 minutes Web 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
