2 INVESTOR DAY NOVEMBER 30, 2011

TECHNOLOGY IN ACTION

Vision: To be globally recognized as Canada’s most influential entertainment company CORUS QUAY IS COMPLETE!

• All Toronto staff and services are now operating from Corus Quay

• Major capital investment peaked in fiscal 2010 and 2011 • More than 99% of building costs paid by end of fiscal 2011 • Construction and fit-out costs 6% below budget at approximately 95 million

• Technology upg rade cy cle is comp lete and behind us now

We have shifted our focus to maximizing the effectiveness of our state-of- the-art facility and our technology – enabling new sources of synergy, process cost savings, new products and new service revenues

4 CORUS QUAY: INNOVATION IN ACTION

Caitlin O'Donovan We asked a cross-section of Radio and Television Director, TV Interactive Dan Vogler senior managers four questions: Technical Director, Interactive Karen Phillips VP, Network Program Operations Vic Torossian 1. What does innovation in action mean to Manager, Business Systems you? Glen Pollock Director, Operations, Production and AV Andrea Gabourie 2. How has Corus Quay affected your work? Director, Live Action Production JliEdJulie Edward s VP, Facilities and Admin Neal Bilow 3. How has new technology affected your Director, Digital Asset work? Management Systems Robyn Stevenson Project Manager, Non Linear Bruce Cowan 4. What are you excited about? Director of Engineering Mike Reid Director, IT Operations Dave FhFarough VP, Brands, Programming & Content, Corus Radio Elliott Hurst CEO, Supernova 5 OUR INVESTMENT IN TECHNOLOGY CREATES OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCIES

• IT-based infrastructure for broadcast and operations are in place • LildilLower capital and operational costs – wihCith Cana dian partners

• Automation is paying dividends in efficiency and consistency • Inbound and outbound digital content delivery

• Increased capacity with minimal additional operational costs • In fiscal 2011, Corus added nine HD signals, three new networks and increased the delivery of non-linear materials by five times • The partner of choice for origination and broadcast services

6 NEW MEDIA: THREE FOCUSED SEGMENTS

• New Media encompasses our view of the changes occurring across the media landscape, enabled by technology

• New Media has become a core activity with three primary areas of focus

Build audiences for broadcast services Increase engagement and ad effectiveness through social media and ENGAGEMENT targeted advertising Provide proprietary research on audiences and effective advertising

Support our distribution partners with new media products, enabling off-air consumption and “TV Everywhere” DISTRIBUTION Distribute content directly through websites and applications on multiple platforms Leverage our proprietary content library and unlock the value of the assets

License and build games, applications and e-books that reflect our PRODUCTS brands and our intellectual property

7 THE IMPACT OF OVER -THE-TOP

• Over-the-top (OTT) may be more additive than disruptive • Pay television remains relevant to consumers and studios • continues to grow; moderate subscriber losses are economic rather than systemic • In the U.S., over-the-top services are finding their place in the overall value chain

• OTT servi ces h ave reach ed th e ti ppi ng poi nt Broadband penetration > 75% Internet video is now on television So ftware and new d ev ices have ma de it access ible for the average consumer Simple pricing models vs. bundled cable bills

8 TELEVISION VALUE CHAIN

TV PREMIERE BDU: VOD, SVOD, BBOD, MOD [Broadcast trigger] TRANSACTIONAL: DTO/DTR PRE- WEB/ONLINE PROMOTION [Netflix, Consoles]

Timeline: 2-4 weeks Next day/Month 1 Month 2 Month 3 Month 4 Month 5 prior

iTunes TV: Other: Example: Nelvana Kids Content

9 OVER-THE-TOP HAS A PLACE IN THE VALUE CHAIN

• Content windowing, long used to control the progression of content through viewing platforms and audiences, is changing but remains relevant across the value chain • Other forms of “new” distribution such as premium TV, specialty TV, home video and download-to-own, have found their niche in the content value chain • These distribution innovations have increased overall consumption of content and created value for content owners, broadcasters and distributors • Studios and content owners clearly prefer this system to preserve value and maximize revenue • Global over-the-top deals, while attractive in theory, will ultimately devalue content as a “one-size-fits-all” model doesn’t work with niche content

TV: Other:

10 RESPONDING TO OVER-THE-TOP

• Corus aggregates and curates content for consumers within well defined brands • Contrast the brand implications – which one captures a niche demographic more effectively?

• Corus has some significant advantages in this competitive environment • Unlike others, Corus owns content – more than 4,000 episodes in the Nelvana library alone • Unlike others, Corus already sells content into the over-the-top market as a hedge against rising content costs • Unlike others, Corus can innovate with its fully owned global rights 11 CONCLUSIONS & SUMMARY

• The investment cyyycle for Corus Quay and new technolo gy infrastructure is complete • We are leveraging this investment to open new markets, to reduce costs and to create enhanced value for our customers • Our New Media strategy balances the current ecosystem against future opportunities, building our brands while allowing us to innovate • We understand the OTT market and are well positioned to respond and continue our growth

Technology remains a key driver of our business strategy
