Letter from Universal Sports CEO David Sternberg

Dear Fans of Universal Sports:

As you may know, Universal Sports Network recently made the transition from over-the-air digital broadcasting to fee-based cable, satellite and IPTV distribution. We have reached agreements with DIRECTV and several other distributors to carry the network, and are in advanced negotiations with additional providers nationwide to ensure distribution of our exclusive Olympic, endurance and adventure sports coverage in 2012. By receiving subscription fees from these providers, we can offer deeper access to the sports you love while delivering an even better viewing experience, including the planned launch of Universal Sports HD later this year.

In addition to DIRECTV, we are pleased to announce that subscribers of MTC Cable (New York), Waitsfield Cable (Vermont), Cascade Communications (Oregon), Hiawatha Broadband (Minnesota) and IPTV-distributor SkyAngel will now also have access to Universal Sports Network.

We sincerely appreciate your contacting your television providers (via 1-800-55-GET-US or www.IWantUniversalSports.com) and letting them know that you want Universal Sports in your channel lineup. I can assure you that your voices are being heard and that your support will help expedite our negotiations. In the meantime, you can also go to UniversalSports.com for extensive live and on-demand coverage of select events and programs from the network.

Thank you for your loyalty and best wishes for a successful new year.

Sincerely,

David Sternberg
CEO, Universal Sports Network
