Overview

WIN-TV wants to launch a 24-hour channel of content, marketing, events andtransactions in 2004, centered on the culture, lifestyle, entertainment and information ofthe world’s indigenous peoples, with an emphasis on the Native American population.WIN-TV believes it can develop sufficient, quality content and is looking for help withfunding, distribution, marketing, branding, channel development, production,transmission, sponsorship and merchandising. Global Media Ventures wants to partnerwith the WIN-TV team to help its founder and team to realize its dream.

Background

Global Media Ventures (GMV) has reviewed WIN-TV’s initial business plan, financialsand video material, has met with the founders and reviewed the supporting presentationmaterials.

GMV is strongly convinced that the Channel’s core category is a strong and a highlydifferentiated one. There is clearly no media, marketing and merchandising brand in thespace and it appears no vehicle to more creatively and effectively accomplish the WIN-TV mission. The opportunity exists to plan, develop, launch and effectively manage sucha worldwide media organization.

We have considered the vision and strategy you have shared with us as well as given theopportunity considerable thought.

We believe there needs to be discussion about the size, attitudes and behaviors of thetarget audience, distribution platform opportunities, staging and realities, fundingstrategy, available content quality, quantity and packaging, production needs andtransmission assumptions,

GMV believes that it can be a valuable, asset-delivering partner to WIN-TV and canprovide deep industry experience, funding, greater speed to market, accelerate itsdevelopment, launch and scale and minimize expenses.

This will allow The Channel to focus primarily on content and strategic core categorydevelopment, the high value areas that are unique to its efforts and which provide thefoundation for the services GMV can provide. In this way, WIN-TV will be better-poisedto maximize the potential of its plan and to be the success it intends.

Lastly, the GMV team is dedicated to and experienced with like-minded, global, positive,pro-social humanitarian media ventures and shares the vision and passion with the WIN-TV team.

Strategy

GMV proposes to leverage a unique team of leading, experienced media andentertainment industry executives from within the business areas in which GMV isfocused.

GMV desires to become a partner with WIN-TV to help it to realize its potentialthrough providing overall business and management consulting, distribution assets,sponsorship expertise, funding, content advisory, commerce and operational services.

For its participation, GMV proposes that it receives equity in the business, amanagement fee, success-based distribution fees, a success-based commission on anyfunding it secures and success-based commissions on the revenues it brings to thebusiness.

Recommendations

We are suggesting that we enter into an agreement to provide the services referencedabove.

We will provide ongoing management services within GMV’s select portfolio of media,marketing and merchandising brands. These brands have their foundation in television“channels” and combine highly successful, proven, traditional media and entertainmentbusiness models together with a strong ability to monetize increasing personal mediabehavior through video on demand, broadband and interactive television platforms asthey develop.

We will work with you to determine the best strategy and execution of securingdistribution, both domestically and internationally. As we have shared, this needs to bewell thought-out and staged in a reasonable way.

As part of the overall distribution effort, GMV may be in a position to provide valuabledistribution itself in 2004, on a less-than 24-hour-basis, to 25,000,000 US households.

GMV believes it can leverage MediaOne Services for technical and operational andadditional production activities and a team of industry professionals to get behind theplan.

Proposal

GMV proposes to begin working with WIN-TV as of October 1, 2003, for an initial 1-year period. We will consider the time spent in the past as an in-kind contribution. Welove the project and love the potential.
