Plans to Broadcast Many Large-scale Sporting Events

• Nov. 2009 “World Grand Champions Cup Volleyball 2009”

Dec.2009 “TOYOTA presents FIFA Club World Champions Cup”

• Jan. 2010 “Hakone Ekiden”
• Feb. 2010 “Tokyo Marathon”
• Feb. 2009 “Vancouver 2010 XXI Olympic Winter Games”

Large-scale sporting events like these effectively unify our employees, which propel us to garner more viewers from our non-sport, regular programs.

Basic Programming Concepts for End of Year and New Year’s

In addition to expanding current programs, we will broadcast annual special (single-episode) programs and new programs to compete with other leading stations. ➪For example, successful hit movie “A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies” will be broadcast for the first time on terrestrial TV

10

Strengthening Regular Programs ➪ by reinforcing topics introduced in each program

11

Efficient use of production budget Whether regular or special, production costs of programs were successful decreased without lowering quality. Planning aggressive, large-scale special programming for the upcoming New Year and for the spring term. Address advertisers’ needs Setting up time slot for single advertiser or publicity programs for sponsors’ campaigns during afternoons on Saturday and Sunday, and late nights. ➪Listening to advertisers’ needs Implementing live-CMs during “SUPER SURPRISE!!” ➪Flexible method of contributing to increase of advertising revenue
