A) Reasons given by the Member State for failure to reach 1. Majority proportion of European works (Article 4) TV 2 Filmkanalen did not fulfill its obligation in 2007 and 2008. The channel has, however, shown considerable progress by more than tripling the European quotas in this period (from 6 to 22 percent). The other two channels that did not fulfill the European quotas obligations for 2008 (TVNorge and NRK3) have not stated reasons. However, the deviations are quite small (1 and 2 percent respectively), and both channels have shown good results for the previous years. 2. A minimum proportion of European works by independent producers (Article 5) TV 2 Filmkanalen has fulfilled the independent production quotas in 2008, increasing the proportion from 3 percent in 2007 to 13 percent in 2008. B) Measures taken or envisaged by the Member State The Norwegian authorities will continue to monitor that TV 2 Filmkanalen, TVNorge and NRK3 increase the European works quota for the next period, and take further action if they do not.

Filed by: Viacom Inc. Pursuant to Rule 425 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended Commission File No.: 001-09533 Subject Company: Viacom Inc. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jessica Reif Cohen - Analyst - Merrill Lynch All right, we will get started with the afternoon. With the split up of Viacom expected no later than the first quarter of 2006, Tom Freston's role will change again. Having led the most successful cable network for the past 25-plus years, although he doesn't look it, Tom Freston's challenge is to extend this brand success with consumers across multiple platforms, both wired and wireless, while satisfying investors' demand for growth across multiple metrics. We certainly believe that management is up to this task. Please welcome Tom Freston, Co-President and Co-COO of Viacom. But before Tom takes the stage, we have a video to show you. (shows video, playing "Desire" by U2) - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tom Freston - Viacom - Co-President, Co-COO Well, that ought to wake you a little bit after lunch. Good afternoon, everybody. I'm Tom Freston. Thank you, Jessica. It's nice to be here in Pasadena. This time last year, Leslie Moonves and I were settling into our new positions in a Company that was a really wide conglomeration of media assets with varying growth rates and prospects. You can see them all up there now. And by now, most of you are familiar with the rationale behind the split of Viacom, which we expect to happen at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

  • Analoge Radio En TV
    Analoge Radio en TV Rapport uitgebracht aan OPTA Definitief Door Stratix Consulting BV Hilversum, juli 2008 Management samenvatting OPTA heeft, in het kader van de marktanalyse, behoefte aan informatie over de rol van analoge RTV-pakketten in de ontwikkeling van de omroepmarkt. OPTA is met name geïnteresseerd in de factoren die van invloed zijn op i) de vraag van eindgebruikers naar analoge RTV-pakketten en ii) het aanbod van analoge RTV-pakketten door kabelexploitanten, om daarmee inzicht te krijgen in de te verwachten ontwikkeling van deze factoren in de komende jaren. Dit rapport geeft antwoorden op vier vragen van OPTA: 1. Welke factoren zijn van invloed op de continuering van doorgifte en/of de omvang van een analoog RTV-pakket dat door kabelexploitanten (en exploitanten van een FttH netwerk) wordt aangeboden? 2. In welke richting ontwikkelen die factoren zich, en welke ontwikkelingen zijn als gevolg daarvan in de komende 3-5 jaar te verwachten op het gebied van doorgifte van analoge RTV-pakketten? 3. Welke rol speelt een analoog RTV-pakket in de komende 3-5 jaar in de RTV-markt? In hoeverre beïnvloedt de (on)mogelijkheid van een analoog RTV-pakket Nederlandse consumenten bij de keuze tussen RTV-dienstverlening via de verschillende RTV- transmissieplatforms (kabel, satelliet, DVB-T, xDSL en FTTH)? Indien nodig moet een nader onderscheid gemaakt worden tussen het belang van analoge radiopakketten en analoge televisiepakketten. 4. Op welke termijn verwacht uw onderzoeksbureau dat het merendeel van consumenten enkel nog digitale RTV-pakketten zal willen gebruiken? Welke aanwijzingen zijn er op dit moment te onderkennen binnen de geïdentificeerde factoren, die van doorslaggevend belang zijn voor het bereiken van die situatie? Op deze vragen zijn de volgende antwoorden gevonden: 1.
