We’ll get to empiricism shortly, but first, one big question: Why does it Why does this sound so sound so plausible? plausible? © 2009 The Nielsen Company Page 2 www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com

Why does it sound so plausible? Because of this guy.

Key Finding Cord Cutting may exist in pockets, however, we find little evidence of it existing on the broad scale at this point. This finding is based on the following: • Online video is changing the nature of Internet use—consistently drawing larger audiences and time. All evidence suggests that this growth is happening in tandem with TV growth, rather than at its expense • There is a significant overlap between DVR and streaming use, particularly among those who spend the most time viewing time shifted programming. This suggests that once consumers have gotten used to the concept of time shifting, the platform shift itself is less relevant • To the degree that cord cutting does exist, it does not appear to be a function of age, as is generally assumed. Older populations are more likely to be consuming long-form online video • While some populations are shifting time from TV to the internet, that population is less than a third of those who access streaming content and, of those who do shift time, that vast majority has shifted 5 percent or less of their time © 2009 The Nielsen Company Page 5 www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com

The Tool: Convergence panel methodology • The ‘Behind The Scenes’ Technology What is Nielsen’s Convergence Panel? - A panel, separate from Nielsen’s TV Viewership Tracking People Meter currency panel, where Nielsen Media Research People Meter both in-home viewing and in-home Full production meter including all active Internet usage are measured to gauge and passive (A/P) capabilities cross-platform usage To date, the panel includes: - Approximately 1,000 households and nearly 3,000 persons. - The panel is made up of a combination of forced turnover homes from our National People Meter sample, Local People Meter sample, homes exiting the National Hispanic Television Index sample. It also includes 200 homes Online Behavior Tracking installed for the field tests used to NielsenOnline NetSight Meter collects streaming and URLs evaluate the impact of adding Internet Does not collect transactional information or PII measurement on TV button pushing Collects “Person’s” information via online prompt compliance. © 2009 The Nielsen Company www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com 25

The analysis: Approximating time shift • 472 Convergence panelists active from November 2008 to March 2009 and panelists that streamed video during the measurement period • Most numbers are 6-month average to account for news cycles and new program introductions • Share data based on online streaming population in Convergence panel, and may not equal similar distributions in National People Meter or VideoCensus samples • Online video consumption includes all video with a one-second qualifier © 2009 The Nielsen Company Page 26 www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com

What’s next?

Extended Screen What? • Emerging industry trend where cable providers are exploring delivering full television content (programs and commercials) via the Web • Different scenarios for different companies – some in-home only, some also out of home, all locked down securely • Options for Web-only cable subscriptions discussed • Also known as “TV Everywhere (Time Warner Cable) and On-Demand Online (Comcast) • More questions than answers at this point © 2009 The Nielsen Company www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com

Extended Screen Scenarios • Video-On-Demand - Consumers access a library of video content • Time-Shifted - Web-based access to digital video recorders allowing access to record, and also watch previously recorded content • Live - Simultaneous (or near simultaneous) access to linear television video content • Downloaded - Content that is copied down to the computer for offline access © 2009 The Nielsen Company www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com

Conclusions • Share shift does not exist on a level that can be measured nationally • Though streaming is relatively small, in the long term, there does appear to be a shift for some populations to streaming video. This shift does not appear to be isolated to any specific demographic group, and might yet be the harbinger for future trends • The shift from TV to Internet at this point is a very small percentage of time and given the day part when content is streamed it might have to do with watching more streaming programming at work where a TV is less likely to be available • To the degree that share shifts do exist, the ongoing efforts of the cable MSO’s to create a cable like environment over the Internet might mitigate any shift from a revenue perspective. © 2009 The Nielsen Company Page 34 www.nielsen-online.com / www.nielsen.com
