THE MUSIC OF PEARL JAM WILL ROCK THROUGHOUT THE TWO-PART SIXTH SEASON FINALE OF "COLD CASE," MAY 3 AND 10

Los Angeles, Ca., March 18th, 2009.            The music of Pearl Jam will be featured exclusively during the two-part sixth season finale episodes of COLD CASE, to be broadcast Sunday, May 3 and Sunday, May 10 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

A total of 16 to-be-determined Pearl Jam hits will be woven throughout the two consecutive COLD CASE finale episodes. This marks the first time COLD CASE has exclusively showcased the music of one artist/group in more than one episode - and the first time Pearl Jam has permitted a program to make selections from their entire catalog of music. A number of featured songs will be from the band's 1991 debut album Ten, which is being reissued on March 24.

In the episodes, titled "The Long Blue Line" and "Into the Blue," Rush (Kathryn Morris) and the team delve into the 2005 murder case of the first female cadet of a local military school who didn't live beyond her first semester. Suspects abound as they discover how brutally the victim was treated from Day One by an array of resentful male cadets and school officials. The case dredges up some painful memories for Rush, who forged her own difficult path as the first female homicide detective in the Philadelphia Police Department. Both season finale episodes were written by Jennifer Johnson and Greg Plageman, two of the series' executive producers.

"The breadth of the Pearl Jam catalog captures not only the spirit of alienated youth, but narrates that journey to adulthood and disillusionment and redemption," said Jennifer Johnson. "It was the perfect accompaniment for Rush's origin story -- told in flashbacks -- of how and why she became the first female homicide detective in the PPD."   Added Greg Plageman, "We're thrilled to have Pearl Jam's music in not only one, but two, of our episodes.  It's also a great fit with the team's murder investigation of a trail-blazing female cadet."

Past single-artist episodes of COLD CASE featured the music of John Lennon, Frank Sinatra, Nirvana, Johnny Cash, John Mellencamp, Bruce Springsteen, Tim McGraw, U2 and Bob Dylan.

COLD CASE stars Kathryn Morris, Danny Pino, John Finn, Jeremy Ratchford, Thom Barry and Tracie Thoms. It is produced by Jerry Bruckheimer Television in association with CBS Paramount Network Television and Warner Bros. Television. Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman, Meredith Stiehm, Jennifer Johnson and Greg Plageman are the executive producers.

At the dawn of the 1990s, Pearl Jam came together to form one of the most influential bands of the modern era. Beginning with their iconic debut album, Ten, in 1991 and continuing through to today, the quintet have consistently combined the perfect amalgam of punk aesthetics with anthemic, classic rock sounds, and in the process have created one of the most respected catalogs in rock history. For the past 18 years, Pearl Jam has remained a relevant cultural and political force, having completed countless international tours, selling over 60 million records world wide and earning a Grammy Award and multiple Grammy Award nominations.

Over eight episodes, the families will travel through cities large and small all while competing in a medley of humorous challenges that will ultimately lead one family to victory. These comical, clever challenges are set against iconic American backdrops like the majestic Grand Canyon and the regal Washington Monument.

Although family fun is the centerpiece of the show, the competition is real and one family will be eliminated each week based on their performance in the challenges. Ultimately, only one family will return home with a dream prize that perfectly compliments their extraordinary and memorable summer vacation.

"The Philanthropist" chronicles the heroic adventures of a billionaire playboy turned vigilante philanthropist. James Purefoy ("Rome") stars as Teddy Rist, a successful tycoon whose life is forever changed after rescuing a young boy during a hurricane in the Nigerian town he was visiting. Rist is spontaneous and impulsive and quickly decides to channel his passion, power and money into helping those in need.

Rist's actions are not just about helping others – he is purging his soul to help exorcise the inner demons which have been festering ever since his young son died and he lost everything he truly loved. Since the death of his son, the danger and risk to his life is the only way he can feel genuinely alive and he'll do anything in order to achieve his goals.

A man who has everything but can feel nothing, Rist keeps his adrenaline pumping by putting his business head and money-making skills to good use through bargaining with the self-righteous, making deals with drug barons and trading with the nefarious.

"The Philanthropist" boasts a heady cast of established and up-and-coming talent. Purefoy takes on the lead role of Teddy Rist, Jesse L. Martin ("Law & Order") plays Teddy's business partner and friend, Philip Maidstone, and Neve Campbell ("Burn Up") plays Olivia, Philip's wife who also runs the charitable foundation set up by the two billionaires.

Purefoy, Martin and Campbell are supported by a tremendous line up of names from both sides of the Atlantic including Lindy Booth ("The 4400"), Michael Kenneth Williams ("The Wire"), Krista Allen ("The Starter Wife") and newcomer James Albrecht.

From Universal Media Studios, "The Philanthropist" is a Carnival Films production in association with The Levinson/Fontana Company and Original Media. Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson, Peter Horton, Charlie Corwin, Gareth Neame and Teri Weinberg serve as executive producers.

"Merlin" is a new 13-part drama series that updates the story of the infamous sorcerer of Arthurian legend for a new audience in the mythical city of Camelot, in a time before history began. In this fantastical realm, Merlin is a young man gifted with extraordinary magical powers who arrives in the kingdom and quickly makes enemies, including the heir to Uther's crown, the headstrong Prince Arthur. But guided by Uther's wise physician, Gaius, Merlin is soon using his talents not just to survive but also to unlock Camelot's mystical secrets.

Starring Colin Morgan as Merlin, Bradley James as Prince Arthur, Anthony Head as King Uther, Richard Wilson as Gaius, Katie McGrath as Morgana and Angel Coulby as Gwen, "Merlin" is an imaginative new twist on a legend that is as old as time. "Merlin" was created and produced by Shine Television (executive-produced by Julian Murphy and Johnny Capps) for the BBC and FremantleMedia Enterprises. FME holds the exclusive licensing, home entertainment (excluding U.K.) and distribution rights to "Merlin" and has invested in the series alongside Shine Television and BBC One.

"The Listener" centers on Toby Logan (Craig Olejnik, "The Timekeeper"), a 25-year-old paramedic who has a big secret -- he's a telepath. Until now, Toby kept his ability hidden, exploring its possibilities only with his long time mentor and confidant, Dr. Ray Mercer (Colm Feore, "24: Redemption"). As he makes the rounds with his energetic paramedic partner -- "Oz" Bey (Ennis Esmer, "Young People F*#king"), "The Listener" follows Toby as he tries to help people in crisis, and in the process, unravel the truth about his past. While his professional life is in check, Toby's personal life could use its own rescue. And with the help of Detective Charlie Marks (Lisa Marcos, "Diary of a Mad Black Woman") and his E.R. doctor/ex-girlfriend Olivia Fawcett (Mylène Dinh-Robic, "Da Vinci's City Hall"), Toby realizes his gift can help others.

"The Listener" was developed by award-winning Shaftesbury Films and Canadian broadcaster CTV and produced in association with CTV, FIC and NBC. The executive producers include: International Emmy Award winner Christina Jennings and Scott Garvie for Shaftesbury Films; Michael Amo ("Blessed Stranger: After Flight 111"); Tom Chehak ("ReGenesis") and Clement Virgo ("Poor Boy's Game"). "The Listener" is distributed internationally by Shine-Reveille.

"America's Got Talent" -- NBC's hit summer series from "American Idol" producers FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell's SYCO Television -- returns with the hottest performers from across the country ready to compete in the blockbuster reality show's fourth season. The multi-talented entertainer-producer-comedian Nick Cannon joins as the new host. The series will continue to be presided over by the explosive combination of celebrity judges Sharon Osbourne, Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff. With the talent search open to acts of all ages, "America's Got Talent" has brought the variety format back to the forefront of American culture by showcasing performers from across the country -- all hoping to win America's hearts and the $1 million prize. As a result, the series is a true celebration of the American spirit.

"America's Got Talent" is produced by FremantleMedia North America and Simon Cowell's SYCO Television. Cowell, Cecile Frot-Coutaz ("American Idol"), Jason Raff ("Clash of the Choirs"), James Sunderland ("Dancing on Ice") and Scott St. John ("Deal or No Deal") serve as executive producers.

In "Meteor," two massive rocks, tumbling debris older than the solar system itself, collide in space. The course has been altered. The target is Earth. In a remote observatory, Dr. Lehman (Emmy winner Christopher Lloyd, "Back to the Future"), discovers a meteor approximately three times the size of Mount Everest barreling its way towards Earth. His devoted young assistant Imogene O'Neill (Marla Sokoloff, "The Practice") feverishly types in the coordinates only to find the previously identified meteor named Kassandra is headed their way. It's only the beginning of their troubles as showers of smaller meteorites begin to lay waste to major cities around the globe.

The impending disaster brings out the best and the worst sides in people as they cope by either lending a helping hand or taking advantage of the situation. In a small California town, a Police Chief (Golden Globe Nominee Stacy Keach, "Prison Break") struggles to calm a panicky group of citizens. Miles away, his son Jack, a detective (Golden Globe nominee Billy Campbell, "Once and Again"), finds himself caught in the middle of the most difficult arrest of his career with the ill-timed transfer of a very dangerous psychopath named Stark (Michael Rooker, "JFK"). Then there's the skeptical Dr. Chetwyn (Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Jason Alexander, "Seinfeld") who may be the only chance Lehman and O'Neill have to get their findings to the proper authorities in time to deflect Kassandra.

Time is running out in "Meteor," in which eye-popping effects, explosive human drama, and hair-raising action combine to create a suspenseful, thrilling and dramatic new miniseries event from RHI Entertainment.

In "The Storm," also from RHI Entertainment, billionaire Robert Terrell (Golden Globe and Emmy nominee Treat Williams, "Everwood") has fulfilled a lifelong obsession and made history with "weather creation" technology though his Atmospheric Research Institute. But during a test run, a blast of energy is sent into the ionosphere with unexpected results. The experiments hurtle the planet towards destruction—hurricanes change course, winds go instantly from hot to cold, torrential rains bring regions to a standstill, and buildings crumble into ruins under explosive lightening storms. It's only the beginning.

Only one scientist, Dr. Jonathan Kirk (James Van Der Beek, "Dawson's Creek"), steps forward to demand that the system be terminated. Terrell is undeterred and continues to push his team to move forward. His motives for the initially philanthropic technology is in truth far more opportunistic. With government cohort, Army General Braxton (David James Elliott, "JAG"), Terrell envisions the technology as a key military weapon to ensure super power status.

Realizing he's powerless to stop the project by himself, Kirk contacts news reporter Danni Wilson (Teri Polo, "Meet the Parents") with plans to expose Terrell and explain the catastrophic weather to a bewildered and frightened world. It's a task that won't come easy, as Kirk quickly discovers the motives and loyalties of authorities are not in his favor. As devastating and extreme weather events hammer down on every corner of the Earth, it will be a race against time to shut down the system before the edge of extinction.

Featuring a cast of television favorites including Emmy Winner John Larroquette ("Boston Legal"), Luke Perry ("Beverly Hills, 90210") and Marisol Nichols ("24"), "The Storm" is the ultimate tale of man against nature and an epic miniseries event posing a tantalizing and terrifying what-if scenario.

In the eighth season of "Law & Order: Criminal Intent" on USA, Oscar and Emmy nominee Jeff Goldblum joined the cast that includes Vincent D'Onofrio, Kathryn Erbe, Julianne Nicholson and Eric Bogosian. Goldblum plays Zach Nichols, a detective born and bred on Manhattan's Upper West Side. The series takes viewers into the minds of its criminals while following the psychological approaches the Major Case Squad uses to solve its worst offenses. The squad investigates high-profile homicide cases, often involving some of the cities most high-powered people, including local government officials, the financial sect as well as celebrities. Guest stars this season include Academy Award nominee Lynn Redgrave ("Gods and Monsters"), Eric Balfour ("24"), Shawn Hatosy ("Numb3rs"), Piper Perabo ("Coyote Ugly") and Janel Moloney ("The West Wing")

KANYE WEST’S FLOW IS COMEDY GOLD ON “THE CLEVELAND SHOW”

Los Angeles, Ca., March 18th, 2009.            International hip-hop superstar and 12-time Grammy Award winner Kanye West and Academy Award nominee Taraji P. Henson get animated when they lend their voices to THE CLEVELAND SHOW, the highly anticipated FAMILY GUY spin-off set to debut this fall on FOX. West will appear as KENNY WEST, an all-around cool kid and the archenemy of CLEVELAND JR. (Kevin Michael Richardson), and the two will engage in a “rap battle” for the affection of high school hottie CHANEL (Henson).

THE CLEVELAND SHOW is a new animated series that follows everyone’s favorite soft-spoken neighbor CLEVELAND BROWN (Mike Henry) to his hometown in Virginia, as he settles down with his high school sweetheart, DONNA (Sanaa Lathan); her unruly kids; and his own 14-year-old son, Cleveland Jr. (Richardson). Once in Virginia, Cleveland has a few surprises in store for him, including ROBERTA (Reagan Gomez-Preston), a rebellious new stepdaughter; RALLO (Henry), a 5-year-old stepson who loves the ladies; and a collection of neighbors that includes a loudmouth redneck, LESTER (Richardson); a hipster wanna-be, HOLT (guest voice Jason Sudeikis); and a pious pair of talking bears, TIM (Seth MacFarlane) and his wife ARIANNA (guest voice Arianna Huffington).

Kanye West’s fourth consecutive chart-topping album, “808s & Heartbreak,” was released in November 2008 and has sold over 1.5 million copies to date. He has received numerous accolades for his latest album, and his hit single “Heartless” has been at the top of the charts for 16 weeks and counting.

RUMER WILLIS AND BALTHAZAR GETTY GUEST STAR ALONGSIDE EMMY NOMINATED ANJELICA HUSTON ON AN UPCOMING EPISODE OF NBC'S 'MEDIUM'

Burbank, Ca., March 12th, 2009.                Rumer Willis ("The House Bunny"), Balthazar Getty ("Brothers & Sisters") and Oscar winner Anjelica Huston ("The Royal Tenenbaums") guest star in a powerful episode of NBC's "Medium" this Spring titled, "The First Bite Is The Deepest." Emmy Award winner Patricia Arquette stars as well as directs for the second time this season and Anjelica Huston reprises her Emmy nominated role of Cynthia Keener, a private investigator who worked with Allison Dubois last season and is now serving time in prison for the murder of her daughter's killer.

In the episode, Keener reaches out to Allison for help when a friend (Willis) turns up missing. Allison learns the missing young woman was a kidnap victim who Keener had rescued years ago. Simultaneously, Allison is asked by a well-known and wealthy real estate magnate (Getty) to investigate the case of his missing wife.

"'Medium' has always been a magnet for actors, but we really hit the jackpot with this episode," said executive producer Glenn Gordon Caron. "This outstanding guest cast, along with the promise of Patricia's directing have us all eagerly anticipating the outcome of what we believe will be a very powerful episode."

Willis, Getty and Huston join a notable list of actors that have previously been announced as guest stars on this season's "Medium" including Blythe Danner, Tracy Pollan, David Morse, Jeffrey Tambor, James Van Der Beek, Kurtwood Smith and Max Casella.

From Emmy Award-winning executive producer, creator and director Caron ("Moonlighting"), "Medium" is a chilling drama series inspired by the real-life story of research medium Allison DuBois. Emmy-winning Patricia Arquette ("Stigmata," "Flirting with Disaster") stars as a young wife and mother who, since childhood, has been struggling to make sense of her dreams and visions of dead people. Arquette received her Emmy Award in the Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series category for her performance as Dubois during the first season, and was again nominated last year in the same category.

In this fifth season, Allison and her family's world has returned to normalcy, now that both of the Dubois are employed and her abilities are publicly known. With Manuel Devalos (Miguel Sandoval, "Jurassic Park") returning to the D.A.'s office, Allison once again serves as a part-time consultant to his office, using her psychic abilities -- which consist of talking to dead people as well as seeing current and future events in her dreams -- to solve violent and horrifying crimes that baffle Phoenix police and others within the criminal justice system. Jake Weber ("Meet Joe Black") stars as Allison's supportive husband Joe, who is launching his own scientific engineering business. Sofia Vassilieva ("Eloise at the Plaza") and Maria Lark ("10.5") star as Ariel and Bridget, the two eldest Dubois children, both of whom share their mother's abilities to varying degrees. David Cubitt ("10.5: Apocalypse") stars as Detective Lee Scanlon and Madison & Miranda Carabello plays the youngest daughter, Marie Dubois.

CHRIS HANSEN TO REPORT IN A THREE-PART INVESTIGATIVE SERIES 'INSIDE THE FINANCIAL FIASCO' BEGINNING ON SUNDAY, MARCH 22 ON 'DATELINE NBC'

New York, N.Y., March 12th, 2009.            In a three-part investigative series, NBC News' Chris Hansen takes a comprehensive look "Inside the Financial Fiasco." The in-depth trilogy of reports, each an hour long, will air on Sunday, March 22 (7:00 PM/ET); Friday, March 27 (10:00 PM/ET) and Sunday, March 29 (7:00 PM/ET). NBC News examines and documents the country's current economic state in the following three parts:

Sunday, March 22: The Mortgage Crisis
With exclusive accounts from insiders and whistleblowers speaking out for the first time, Hansen reports on who knew what and when, and explains how risky home loans helped cause a chain reaction that led to failures on Wall Street, and the near collapse of the American Economy.

Friday, March 27: Debt in America and Its Collectors
As the mortgage crisis and mounting job losses melt away the American dream, another fundamental economic crisis has emerged: America's debt epidemic. Hansen investigates how families got mired in debt and, with hidden cameras, exposes dirty tactics used by some collection agencies.

Sunday, March 29: Schemes
With the economy in freefall and unemployment reaching record highs, Hansen investigates two schemes that sound too good to be true. One involves scams targeting people desperately searching for jobs, and the other, a self-professed visionary who claims he can increase gas mileage by 50 percent.

Exclusive stories, extended interviews, and interactive tools and resources for consumers will be available on Dateline.Msnbc.com. In addition, viewers will be able to access an exclusive feature that tracks several mortgages through the financial system. The tool will illustrate how risky loans to unqualified borrowers could play a vital role in triggering a chain reaction leading to failures on Wall Street and losses to investors.

NBC UNIVERSAL UNVEILS ONLINE AND TECHNOLOGY PARTNERS FOR 2010 VANCOUVER OLYMPIC WINTER GAMES

New York, N.Y., March 18th, 2009.            NBC Universal, owner of the exclusive U.S. media rights to the upcoming Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada (February 12-28, 2010), announced today that it was teaming up with Microsoft and MSN to again create "NBCOlympics.com on MSN," a next-generation online experience for Olympic fans across the United States that set online viewing records and drew critical acclaim at the Beijing Games last August. With competition video in both live and on-demand formats, deep analysis and results delivered from NBC's award-winning broadcast and digital media teams, and Microsoft's Silverlight technology to deliver deeply immersive user experiences, NBCOlympics.com's coverage will be powered by Microsoft and MSN technology to complement NBC's broadcast programming and put millions of fans in control of the Olympic sports, athletes and countries they want to watch.

"For the Beijing Olympics, Microsoft Silverlight technology set the standard by helping deliver the most dynamic online viewing experience to date," said Gary Zenkel, President, NBC Olympics. "With the Vancouver version of NBCOlympics.com on MSN, we plan to raise the bar even higher."

The two companies will work together to deliver Olympic coverage to the U.S. online audience, powered by Microsoft's Silverlight technology. During the Vancouver Games, NBCOlympics.com (http://www.nbcolympics.com) content will be prominently featured on the MSN.com homepage (http://www.msn.com), as well as on MSN Video (http://video.msn.com) and across the MSN and Windows Live networks, all moving the massive MSN Network audience to NBCOlympics.com's complete coverage of the Games.

"We're thrilled to be NBC's exclusive online partner for the Olympic Winter Games and to delight the millions of Olympic fans with extensive online coverage," said Yusuf Mehdi, senior vice president, Online Audience Business Group. "Building on our record-breaking success in Beijing, we will deliver an immersive, high quality and engaging experience for our customers."

As a result of this unprecedented collaboration, "NBCOlympics.com on MSN" will deliver:
· Live event video coverage with simultaneous live video streams.
· More than 1,000 hours of on-demand video content including full-event replays, highlights, features, interviews and encore packages.
· An HD-experience powered by Silverlight that gives users the choice of a high-quality full screen viewing experience unlike any on the Internet today.
· Unique data views powered by Silverlight that enable fans to have access not only to high quality video, but also to the wealth of related content including results, statistics, comprehensive bios, rules and expert analysis from NBC's Olympic digital media team in Vancouver.
· Live video alerts so fans can stay connected to the events and teams they care most about

"We are excited to continue our partnership with NBC during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics," said Scott Guthrie, corporate vice president of the .NET Developer Platform at Microsoft. "We are confident that Silverlight will deliver the best experience possible to millions of sports fans via the Web."

NBCOlympics.com on MSN, which MediaWeek Magazine called "a sweeping success" and the Los Angeles Times said "re-wrote rules for media in the future," produced staggering statistics throughout the Beijing Games with 1.2 billion page views and 52.1 million unique users, more than doubling the combined totals for the Athens and Torino Games, while the 75.5 million video streams was seven time more than Athens and Torino combined. A total of 9.9 million hours of video consumed equates to 1,126 years of video.

BEIJING TORINO ATHENS
Page Views: 1.2 Billion 331.5 million 229.9 million
Unique Users: 52.1 million 13.3 million 11.9 million
Video Streams: 75.5 million 8.4 million 2.4 million
Hours of Video: 9.9 million N/A N/A

NBCOlympics.com on MSN also shaped the way viewers consumed the Olympics in Beijing:
· 46% of Olympic viewers said that being able to watch the Olympics on multiple platforms enhanced their Olympic viewing experience.

· 24% of Olympic viewers said that they watched more of the Beijing Olympics because it was available on NBCOlympics.com as well as on TV.

· 75% of visitors to NBCOlympics.com used TV and the website simultaneously at least once.

About NBC Olympics:
NBC has broadcast 11 Olympics, the most Olympics broadcast by any network. NBC surpassed ABC's 10 Olympics with the 2008 Beijing Games, the most watched television event in U.S. history with 215 million viewers.

The 2010 Vancouver Games mark the sixth of an unprecedented seven consecutive Olympic broadcasts by NBC Sports. The impressive streak began with the 2000 Sydney Games and continues through the 2012 London Games. NBC has broadcast eight of the last 10 Olympic Games, both summer and winter; Vancouver will mark the ninth out of the last 11.
