Latin America and Brazil Programming Strategy SPT operates three very distinct linear channels in the region with approximately 50% of its revenue generated from Cable & DTH and 50% generated from advertising. Our goal is to provide a channel offering that has great value to the operators, as well as the strongest advertising revenue potential. In the last three years, the Cable & DTH market has changed dramatically. As the high income A & B households reached high saturation levels, operators have focused on growing penetration in the lower C (also referred to as the middle class) households. Higher penetration of local cable offerings in Mexico and Brazil and stronger competition from international programmers. Historically, SET and AXN have aired subtitled US series & movies. Though we still are Top 5 ranked in the DTH homes where there are predominantly upscale households, we have seen a loss in ranking in the new C cable households. Our goal today is to continue to lead in the upscale homes where the Pay TV advertising is still most prevalent, while creating an upside opportunity in the middle class sector. SET, AXN and the “new” SPIN has accomplished this by focusing each channel on a very specific demographic, as well as more effectively scheduling our shows to compete on a local basis with customization of our 17 feeds. Due to the amount of “studio” competitors, we have locked in an output deal with Disney and a volume deal with SPT to secure a pipeline of content. The price of primetime series has risen over 82% in the last three years due to market demand. 12

Latin America and Brazil Programming Strategy- SET SET is our flagship brand. SET is a general entertainment channel targeting AD 18-49, but skewing W18-49. SET airs mostly US sourced series such as Grey’s Anatomy, The Client List, Revenge, Once Upon a Time and Nashville. In Brazil, we also air CSI on SET. SET has focused on producing local shows in our two key markets Brazil and Mexico. SET Brazil is currently in production of Agora Vai, a sitcom based on a dysfunctional ad agency and SET Mexico is in pre-production of season 4 of our hit series Mexico’s Next Top Model. In all cases when we source local productions, we heavily weigh both rating potential, as well as advertising integration opportunities. Due to the Brazilian Ancine law, we are using local production incentives to fund our local shows when possible. SET has customized schedules in Brazil, Mexico, the Andes Region and the Southern Cone. Brazil has begun dubbing our key series and all our movies to great success. Latin America has kept to a mostly sub-title strategy, which continues to be more effective in the Northern Regions, but we are exploring dubbing as we head south. 13
14
Latin America and Brazil Programming Strategy- AXN AXN is our highest rated channel. AXN is a drama oriented general entertainment channel also targeting AD 18-49, but skewing AD25+. AXN airs mostly US sourced series such as Criminal Minds, CSI, CSI NY, NCIS, Breaking Bad, Last Resort, and The Firm. (Brazil airs CSI on SET.) AXN also has a very strong movie offering. AXN has not focused on local productions due to the cost of this genre, but we have capitalized on Network Productions such as The Firm and Hannibal to create local advertising customizations to give us an edge. To comply with the Brazilian content law, we are acquiring local content. AXN is focused on customized schedules in Brazil, Mexico, the Andes Region and the Southern Cone. Dubbing strategy for AXN Brazil and Latin America is the same as SET. 14
15
Latin America and Brazil Programming Strategy- SPIN Spin has the lowest distribution of our channels and the lack of operator capacity has made expanding distribution a challenge. Without distribution, it has been very hard to achieve our advertising targets. Targeting the volatile youth audience in the linear space has proved to be a challenge. We have attempted to reduce programming costs, but that has put our existing affiliate distribution at risk as operators constantly threaten to take the lowest ranked channels off their systems. We have therefore developed a strategy with HBO Distribution team to improve SPIN’s value proposition to the operators by targeting the C segment. SPIN will target the C segment by scheduling 100% dubbed and local content. Programming will be scheduled in horizontal strips to appease the viewing habits of this C segment. SPIN will source both dubbed local versions of series from our output and volume deals such as Dona Barbara, Zorro, Grey’s Anatomy, and Ghost Whisperer. We will continue to keep content costs low, while delivering a very aspirational C appealing channel. The channel will provide a “barker” value proposition to the operator to sell tier package upgrades. Spin’s broader audience will allow us to target large bulk advertisers (ie - Colgate, Proctor & Gamble). 15

Brazil Programming Highlights Brazil regulations were implemented in 2012 that requires local produced content to be shown in primetime. Implemented in stages and by Oct 2013 will require 3.5 hours weekly in primetime. Channels have had to acquire local content to be in compliance. Performance of key programs: SET showed improved ratings in FY13 due to focus on bringing viewers back to channel. Movement of CSI from AXN back to SET had strong ratings. AXN strong performing shows are Criminal Minds and Unforgettable. Original Programming: Agora Vai is first scripted program for SET and in pre-production now. Funded 100% from Ancine funds (local production incentive). Breakout Brazil – Music contest done in conjunction with YouTube and Sony Music. – Over 2,000 submissions with over 2M page views and over 100K votes. – Will be on air in March 2013.
