For Release: August 29, 2005 TNT AND THE ROLLING STONES ‘DRIVE TOO FAST’ INTO THEATRES TNT to roll out exclusive NASCAR ad featuring unreleased Rolling Stones single in movie theatres nationwide through National CineMedia Turner Network Television (TNT) announced today an epic partnership - marrying the network with the rock-n-roll royalty of the Rolling Stones and the sport of NASCAR - on the silver screen. This September, TNT will debut an exclusive NASCAR promotional video featuring the yet-to-be-released Rolling Stones single, “Driving Too Fast,” in movie theatres throughout the country. The video, which will allow fans to experience the band’s new tune days before the official release of their highly-anticipated new album, A Bigger Bang, places TNT among the ranks as one of few to land such a unique partnership with the world-renowned rock band. “Mixing together the undeniably energizing music of the Rolling Stones with the excitement of NASCAR was an easy one,” said Jeff Gregor, senior vice president of sports marketing and programming for TNT and TBS. “The song was a perfect fit and we’re honored to bring together two powerhouses from the world of music and sports.” The up-tempo ad mixes the fast cars, invigorated crowds and charismatic drivers of NASCAR racing with the adrenaline pumping rock-n-roll tunes of the Rolling Stones to fire up fans to watch the pivotal NASCAR NEXTEL Cup Series races on TNT. NASCAR drivers Tony Stewart, Dale Earnhardt, Jr., Jimmie Johnson, Jeff Gordon, Elliot Sadler and Kurt Busch each make an appearance in the video sharing their thoughts on the intensity of the Race to the Chase for the NEXTEL Cup with Sadler concluding, “TNT hits it right on the head, what it’s all about is drama.” The 2 minute 20 second video will run September 2 - 29 on more than 5,800 movie screens nationwide during National CineMedia’s digitally delivered pre-show, exclusively in Regal, United Artists, Edwards and Georgia Theatre Company movie theatres. TNT will use the closing slate of the spot to rotate tune-in information for the three remaining NASCAR NEXTEL Cup races on TNT, which include the Chevy Rock & Roll 400 (Sept. 10), the Sylvania 300 (Sept. 18) and the MBNA NASCAR RacePoints 400 (Sept. 25). “TNT really knows how to harness the power of the big screen, and they take full advantage of the fact that our movie pre-show platform is the perfect place to premiere their cutting-edge entertainment programming content,” said Cliff Marks, president of sales and chief marketing officer of National CineMedia. Turner Network Television (TNT), television’s destination for drama and one of cable’s top-rated networks, offers original movies and limited series, including Into the West, an epic six-week television event from DreamWorks Television and master storyteller and executive producer Steven Spielberg; original recurring series, including the detective drama The Closer, starring Kyra Sedgwick, and the crime thriller Wanted, with Gary Cole; powerful one-hour dramas, such as Law & Order, Without a Trace, ER, NYPD Blue, Charmed, Judging Amy and Angel; broadcast premiere movies; and championship sports coverage, including NASCAR and the NBA. TNT is also available in high-definition. Turner Sports, Inc., a Time Warner company, presents some of the best and most popular sporting events worldwide and is a leader in televised sports programming. With events airing on three networks - TBS, TNT and Turner South - Turner Sports’ line-up includes the NBA, NASCAR and NASCAR.COM, Major League Baseball, Atlanta Thrashers hockey, Atlanta Hawks basketball, college football, professional golf and PGA.com.

PLEASE DELIVER TO: www.cablefax.com, Published by Access Intelligence, LLC, Tel: 301-354-2101 4 Pages Today Monday — April 28, 2008 Volume 19 / No. 081 Playing Catch: Turner/Ops Partner On Braves Baseball Several multichannel ops have struck inventive and atypical deals with Turner allowing them to simulcast certain Atlanta Braves games within the team’s MLB territory, which covers portions of GA, AL, MS, TN, NC and SC. The agreements include the 45 games to air exclusively this season on Turner’s Peachtree TV , an OTA station serv- ing the Atlanta DMA and the only local broadcaster we know of that owns telecast rights to MLB games. Typically, cable RSNs have such rights locked up. Partnerships include Cox , Charter , Comcast , Time Warner Cable , Me- diacom and DirecTV , and talks with DISH are ongoing, said Turner Net Sales vp Coleman Breland . The deals are similar, sources say, in that the ops have the option to air the games through regional systems, but different with re- spect to remuneration. None involve cash, but rather various mutually beneficial arrangements such as ad rev shar- ing. In the Macon, GA, area Cox will insert the games on its local original channel, while Charter and Comcast will use Comcast/Charter Sports SE . Placement of the games became an issue for Turner after TBS , which for years had broadcast Braves games nationally, switched this season to airing 26 Sun afternoon MLB games instead. In Oct WTBS , which had carried the Braves games in Atlanta via its TBS simulcast, was rechristened Peachtree TV, and Turner decided to telecast 45 games on the network.
