6 CAST MEMBERS OF “THE SHIELD” REUNITE FOR UPCOMING EPISODE OF “LIE TO ME”

Los Angeles, Ca., December 2nd, 2009.               Cast members from the critically acclaimed series “The Shield,” including Catherine Dent, Kenny Johnson, David Marciano, Benito Martinez, Cathy Cahlin Ryan and David Rees Snell, will reunite for an upcoming episode of LIE TO ME airing this spring on FOX. LIE TO ME is executive-produced by Shawn Ryan, who won an Emmy for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series on “The Shield.”

In the “Pied Piper” episode, DR. CAL LIGHTMAN (Tim Roth) is a witness at the execution of JASON WILKIE (Marciano), a prisoner he helped convict in the murder of a child 17 years ago. When the victim’s aunt and uncle, FAYE SHERIDAN (Dent) and CHARLIE SHERIDAN (Martinez), are targeted again, Lightman must face the possibility he sent an innocent man to his death. Determined to uncover the truth, Lightman turns to MICHAEL WILKIE (Snell), Jason’s younger brother, and BETH LANSFORD (Ryan), Jason’s ex-girlfriend, for more information on what may have happened to 8-year-old Rex Sheridan. The pair lead Lightman to MALCOLM HESSLER (Johnson), a photographer who becomes the key suspect in the case.

LIE TO ME is the compelling drama series inspired by the scientific discoveries of a real-life psychologist who can read clues embedded in the human face, body and voice to expose the truth and lies in criminal investigations. Dr. Cal Lightman heads a team of experts who assist federal law enforcement, government agencies and local police with their most difficult cases. The series also stars Kelli Williams, Monica Raymund, Brendan Hines, Mekhi Phifer and Hayley McFarland.

FORD WARRIORS IN PINK MOVES INTO THE CW NETWORK’S 90210 TO REACH YOUNGER WARRIORS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST BREAST CANCER

Los Angeles, Ca., November 30th, 2009.               Ford Warriors in Pink is partnering with The CW Network’s 90210 to drive breast cancer awareness by reminding viewers that breast cancer affects people in all zip codes. The partnership consists of several initiatives in the fight against breast cancer, including a special episode airing December 8 (8:00-9:00 p.m. ET/PT), a broadcast PSA and a series of national print ads.

By joining forces with the only network targeting women ages 18-34, Ford is reaching out to a younger audience with vital messages about breast cancer awareness and the importance of early detection. This campaign further solidifies Ford’s long standing, 15-year / more than $100 million commitment to Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

In the December 8 episode of 90210, Silver (series star Jessica Stroup) will become a Ford Warrior in Pink in memory of her mother Jackie Taylor (Ann Gillespie), who succumbed to breast cancer in the November 17th episode of The CW drama. She will be wearing an all-new black Ford Warriors in Pink t-shirt and asking her fellow classmates at West Beverly High to sponsor her in an upcoming Race for the Cure (5K) for breast cancer research, which she will run in her mother’s honor.

Stroup is also featured in a PSA that will air during the Ford Warriors in Pink episode, driving viewers to FordCares.com to find out how they can raise awareness and join in the fight against breast cancer. The PSA will be featured on FordCares.com and cwtv.com/warriorsinpink.

“This partnership helps broaden the reach for Ford Warriors in Pink by teaming up with a powerhouse network that targets a youthful audience,” said Connie Fontaine, Brand Content and Alliances manager for Ford Motor Company. “Joining forces with 90210 provides a creative way to extend the message and importance of early detection. The more people watch, the more we are able to increase awareness and raise funds though our Warriors in Pink program to help find a cure.”

“The CW is so incredibly proud to partner with Ford Warriors in Pink to help raise awareness and contribute to the fight against breast cancer through this integration with 90210,” said Alison Tarrant, Executive Vice President, Integrated Sales and Marketing, The CW. “This tremendously vital issue directly impacts our young female viewers and their families, and in working with Ford Warriors in Pink, we’ve been able to incorporate it seamlessly into the 90210 storyline in a very organic and powerful way.”

To help further aid in the fight, Ford and 90210 have developed a series of print ads featuring Jessica Stroup and on-air sister Jennie Garth. Both stars appear in the ads, which remind viewers that breast cancer affects people in all zip codes, and offer real-life ways to join the fight, including becoming informed and doing self-breast exams.

Both Stroup and Garth will model pieces from the Ford Warriors in Pink apparel collection in the print ads, which will appear in national publications including People, TV Guide, US Weekly and InStyle. The apparel collection is available for purchase on www.FordCares.com and each piece features important symbols signifying the message of hope, strength and unity in the commitment to the fight against breast cancer. Ford donates 100% of net proceeds to Susan G. Komen for the Cure 365 days a year.

Also, 90210 viewers will have the chance to win America’s most fuel efficient mid-size sedan, the 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid starting November 17th running through December 15th. During the four-week promotion period, a unique Warriors in Pink 90210 television spot will reveal a “Warriorized” keyword. Viewers can visit cwtv.com/warriorsinpink and/or use their mobile phone to enter the keyword for entry into the sweepstakes for the chance to win.

“As a 15-year partner of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, we know that awareness leads to early detection and early detection saves lives,” said Fontaine. “Getting the word out to all ages is important because women of all ages need to sound the drum to begin the fight early in life.”

A long-standing partner of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Ford has dedicated more than $100 million to the breast cancer cause and remains committed to innovative ways to drive breast cancer awareness. The company’s commitment runs well beyond raising funds – as a national series sponsor of the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure, Ford is present at all 121 races nationwide.

THE WORLD'S GREATEST PRO FIGURE SKATERS COMPETE LIVE ON "THIN ICE,"
AIRING OVER TWO NIGHTS IN MARCH 2010 ON ABC

New York, N.Y., November 30th, 2009.               Emmy Award-winning talk show host Elisabeth Hasselbeck ("The View") and Kurt Browning, four-time world champion Canadian figure skater, co-host "Thin Ice," a new competition for the world's greatest pro figure skaters, live from the MGM Grand at Foxwoods (Connecticut), airing FRIDAY, MARCH 19 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) and SUNDAY, MARCH 21 (7:00-8:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.

The lineup was announced by Joseph C. Jimenez, senior vice present, Foxwoods Resort Casino and Terry O'Neil, CEO, O'Neil Entertainment. Two of the judges will be Kristi Yamaguchi, 1992 Olympic gold medalist and Season Six champ of "Dancing with the Stars," and Dick Button, two-time Olympic gold medalist and the voice of figure skating on American television for 45 years. The judging will be split between viewer votes on www.abc.com (50%) and a panel of judges (50%). Confirmed competitors so far include:

* Shizuka Arakawa, Japan, 2006 Olympic gold medalist
* Shae-Lynn Bourne, Canada, 2003 World Champion

In total, 12 competitors will come from four skating disciplines -- ladies, men, pairs and dance -- and the competitors will be paired as six couples. No pairs or dance skater will be coupled with his or her current partner. Skating programs will be limited to two minutes. "In the Olympic Games," said O'Neil, "there are more than 300 pages of rules and regulations. In 'Thin Ice,' the entire judging criteria are summarized in two words -- entertain us. And the viewer-vote is a wonderful interactive feature. After years of controversial scoring, we can finally say to the television viewer: this time you judge the skaters."

Competition will be staged in the Premier Ballroom of the MGM Grand at Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. At 50,000 square feet of unobstructed space, it is the largest column-free ballroom in the northeast U.S. "It will be a remarkable setting," said Mr. Jimenez. "We'll build an ice rink 75'x140' and still have room for 3,000 spectators. The room will have great ambience, and elegant chandeliers hang from a 26-foot ceiling. Spectator seating will be darkened to give the feel of a cabaret or nightclub."

Prize money for the event totals $250,000:

* 1st Place - $60,000 per couple
* 2nd Place - $50,000 per couple
* 3rd Place - $45,000 per couple
* 4th Place - $35,000 per couple
* 5th Place - $30,000 per couple
* 6th Place - $30,000 per couple

A CHRISTMAS CONCERT FROM ST. JOSEPH CATHEDRAL IN SIOUX FALLS, S.D., TO BE BROADCAST CHRISTMAS EVE, THURSDAY, DEC. 24, ON CBS

New York, N.Y., December 1st, 2009.               A special Christmas Concert, "Christmas at The Cathedral - Beacon of Hope" with highlights from the 13-year concert series, will be broadcast Christmas Eve, Thursday, Dec. 24 (11:35 PM- 12:35 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

            For over a decade, an interfaith audience has been welcomed to "Christmas at the Cathedral," an event filled with music and song that focuses on the universal story of the Prince of Peace. A prayerful message and Christmas blessing will be lead by the Bishop of the Diocese of Sioux Falls, The Most Reverend Paul J. Swain. The concert's setting is St. Joseph Cathedral, the seat of the diocese, which covers 35,000 square miles east of the Missouri River.

              Romanesque and Renaissance in style, St. Joseph Cathedral was built from 1917-1919 and designed by renowned architect Emanuel Masqueray. It is considered one of the most prominent structures in South Dakota. Referred to as a "Beacon of Hope," the Cathedral is an imposing limestone building with two great towers. From its location high atop a natural ridge overlooking the city of Sioux Falls, the Cathedral can be seen for miles.

            "Christmas at The Cathedral - Beacon of Hope" features the South Dakota Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Henry Charles Smith; tenor Scott Piper, sopranos Emily Lodine and Stacey Stofferahn; with concert pianist Paul Sanchez, triplet trumpeters the Stonebach Sisters, and the St. Joseph Cathedral Choir and Men's Schola. Special guests include a multi-cultural children's choir from the Sioux Falls Catholic Schools, who will bring a candlelit section dedicated to peace in the world as part of an inspirational climax. Actor Tom Roberts shares a special Christmas story and video by Kirby Schultz to enrich this moving concert broadcast.
