PROGRAMMING Upon completion and activation by territory, Meredith will program a minimum of 81 analog video channels. While definitive programming agreements have not been entered into and, as such, specific packaging, tiering and pricing decisions cannot be made at this time, it is anticipated that prices will be adjusted as authorized to reflect the additional programming as well as project and programming costs. As examples, we preliminarily anticipate the following new programming choices or similar services will be available: • C - 1. Basic Service (or equivalent) -Initially, Meredith Cable anticipates a continuation of current Basic Service offering of 28 channels without a realignment of channels within Universal Service. • C- 2. Preferred Tier Service (or equivalent) -Meredith Cable anticipates the addition of 4 or 5 channels to this tier that currently consists of 29 channels. There will be a corresponding rate adjustment. Preliminarily, and as examples, we anticipate the likely addition of the following exciting new offerings or others as we may deem more responsive to subscriber or marketplace needs and interests.: 4
