Kerry-Edwards Corporate Backers Selected Quotes from Today’s Endorsers, Full List of Endorsements, Fact Sheet and Bios of the Summit Participants Below: Selected Quotes from Business Leaders Endorsing Kerry-Edwards “Responsible leadership should be demanded from the Oval Office even more than it should be expected from the leadership of any well run American company. We should not be running up huge national bills without the foresight to see how we will pay them off, other than by expecting our children and grandchildren to bail us out of debt. John Kerry has good plans to restore fiscal discipline and repair our relationships with the world. His is the kind of leadership that all Americans deserve from the White House.” -- Owsley Brown, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Brown-Forman Corporation "From record deficits to exploding health care costs, the Bush administration's policies have undermined the strength of the American economy and made American businesses less competitive. We need real leadership in the White House that understands the crippling effect health care costs are having on business and most importantly, has a plan to deal with it. That's what John Kerry will be able to do for our nation and that's why I am supporting him for President." -- Jim Sinegal, President and Chief Executive Officer, Costco Wholesale "The Kerry-Edwards plan for America is exactly what is needed to jumpstart businesses and get America working again. It will lower healthcare costs and cut taxes on corporations and small businesses to strengthen our economy today and invest in education, science and innovation to help us stay competitive in the economy of tomorrow." -- Peter Chernin, President and COO, News Corp. "We live in a world that is interconnected in so many ways. I have known John Kerry for 20 years, and he understands that we must work cooperatively with other countries if we are to effectively fight terror or systematically encourage the investment in free enterprise around the world." -- Charles K.

    ANNUAL REPORT 2015 16_A70_TV_Acad_Ad.qxp_Layout 1 7/8/16 11:43 AM Page 1 PROUD MEMBER OF »CBS THE TELEVISION ACADEMY 2 ©2016 CBS Broadcasting Inc. MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN AND CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER AS THE QUANTITY AND QUALITY OF CONTENT HAVE INCREASED in what is widely regarded as television’s second Golden Age, so have employment opportunities for the talented men and women who create that programming. And as our industry, and the content we produce, have become more relevant, so has the relevance of the Television Academy increased as an essential resource for television professionals. In 2015, this was reflected in the steady rise in our membership — surpassing 20,000 for the first time in our history — as well as the expanding slate of Academy-sponsored activities and the heightened attention paid to such high-profile events as the Television Academy Honors and, of course, the Creative Arts Awards and the Emmy Awards. Navigating an industry in the midst of such profound change is both exciting and, at times, a bit daunting. Reimagined models of production and distribution — along with technological innovations and the emergence of new over-the-top platforms — have led to a seemingly endless surge of creativity, and an array of viewing options. As the leading membership organization for television professionals and home to the industry’s most prestigious award, the Academy is committed to remaining at the vanguard of all aspects of television. Toward that end, we are always evaluating our own practices in order to stay ahead of industry changes, and we are proud to guide the conversation for television’s future generations.

The announcement marks another step in Lionsgate’s continued commitment to build a broad portfolio of branded properties and franchises with global appeal. Saban launched Mighty Morphin Power Rangers as a live action television series more than 20 years ago, and the series has been in continuous production ever since. It has subsequently grown into one of the world’s most popular and recognizable brands, with toys, apparel, costumes, video games, DVD’s, comic books and other merchandise. The two companies noted that, with an extensive and extremely devoted worldwide fan base as well as a deep and detailed mythology, the Power Rangers are primed for the big screen. The new film franchise will re-envision the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, a group of high school kids who are infused with unique and cool super powers but must harness and use those powers as a team if they have any hope of saving the world. “Lionsgate is the perfect home for elevating our Power Rangers brand to the next level,” said Saban. “They have the vision, marketing prowess and incredible track record in launching breakthrough hits from The Hunger Games to Twilight and Divergent.
