Executive Summary
• DTT represents the largest channel distribution opportunity in Spain– Already at 96% coverage and 69% penetration– Compares to Pay TV at roughly 27% penetration
• Important to secure and maintain a foothold in this market today, but requires a significant investment
– In the near-term: Growth in ad revenues has been slower for smaller channels Fixed fees for distribution (in excess of €4.5MM per year) is difficult to offset
– In the long-term: Ad revenues are expected to grow rapidly with the April ‘10 analogue changeover
and full audience migration Players that come late to the game will find a limited number of slots being bid-up.
UK provides a relevant example of DTT slot prices increasing three-fold
• Partnering with Sony offers significant strategic advantages– Defray cost in the early, ramp-up phase– Combine programming resources to drive channel rank– Leverage Sony’s local expertise and relationships with advertisers

DTT Ad Revenue Opportunity
Opportunity to capitalize on a growing ad market
• April 2010 analogue to digital changeover will help eliminate traditional impediments to growth in DTT advertising revenues
– Entrenched channel oligopoly will lose incentive (and ability) to concentrate audience and ad revenue in analogue market
– Media buyers will be offered a more robust bouquet of DTT channels
• Significant growth will be driven by:– Analogue TV viewers and channels will fully migrate to DTT
– Ad revenues will migrate along with TV viewers and channels
– Channels will be competing for TV viewers on DTT with compelling content offerings
– Media buyers and advertisers will focus on channels that have a growing audience base

Partnership Opportunity
• Access to one of a few available free DTT slots– Majority of current slots are captive to major broadcasters
– Only limited additional free slots available for sub-license after digital changeover
8 of 12 new slots will likely go to major broadcasters used for their own stations (or if sub-licensed, likely at a much higher price than Veo is charging)
Portion of 4 slots for Veo and Net we expect will be used for themselves 1-2 slots may be available for sub-license for free channels and will require bidding
against major U.S. media conglomerates
• Less expensive method of entry– Near-term opportunity to split expenses (including €4.5MM fixed fees per year to
Veo, programming and other expenses)
– Early entry significantly less expensive than when slots are bid up
• Ability to leverage Sony brand, market expertise, and content
– SET established as a top 10 channel
– Strong relationship with advertisers
– Deep library of TV and film content that can be utilized for the channel
Partnering with Sony provides…
