TV LAND WILL UNVEIL FIRST EVER DEVELOPMENT SLATE OF ORIGINALS AND SPECIALS

Celebrated Television Icons Headline Production Talent
Roster Including Bill Cosby, Kelsey Grammer, Henry Winkler, Peter
Bonerz and David Steinberg

Santa Monica, NY - December 16, 2003 - Nick at Nite and TV Land, America's leading Classic TV programmers, today announced their
first-ever slate of original shows and specials, several of which are being spearheaded by some of the most celebrated names in the history of
television. The development slate, which includes new programming from Bill Cosby, Kelsey Grammer, Henry Winkler, Peter Bonerz, David Steinberg and several others, could be seen on both networks as early as 2004. The originals will serve as a complement to Nick at Nite and TV Land's successful acquired programming strategy, which currently ranks Nick at Nite the Number One ad supported cable entertainment network among Adults 18-49 during its programming hours. Over at TV Land, 2003 looks to be the most-watched year ever among its target audience of Adults 25-54. The slate was announced today by Larry W. Jones, Executive Vice President and General Manager, TV Land and Nick at Nite, and Sal Maniaci, Vice President of Development and Production, TV Land and Nick at Nite.

While Nick at Nite will pursue original comedy to complement its hit sitcom line-up, the TV Land originals will reflect the fun, passionate and TV-reverential on-air environment that embraces "all things television." Among the projects currently in the TV Land pipeline include: TV Land Moguls, a six-part documentary series from CBS News Productions that chronicles the rise of some of television's most successful producers; the return of The TV Land Awards, the network's salute to enduring television shows and stars, which last year was seen by more than 25 million viewers and featured such presenters as Halle Berry and Matthew Perry; and a 30th anniversary salute to Happy Days, which Henry Winkler, who also starred in the show, will executive produce. TV Land also has several other shows in various stages of development.
