The document provides background information on the failed merger between AOL and Time Warner. It summarizes the histories of both companies, details the merger, and analyzes why it ultimately failed. The key reasons for failure included poor timing due to AOL's overvaluation, non-operational distractions, unrealistic growth expectations, a lack of strong leadership to integrate the companies and overcome cultural differences, and an overly politicized structure that hindered collaboration. The merger is now seen as one of the most remarkable corporate miscalculations.
Private and public ownership are the two types of television ownership. Private ownership refers to networks owned by private shareholders seeking profit, like ITV, while public ownership refers to public service networks like the BBC funded by taxpayers. Technology has advanced television from analogue to digital formats with high definition and on-demand viewing. Ofcom regulates television content and enforces broadcasting codes around protecting viewers, particularly children before the watershed at 9pm.
1) Television is undergoing a fundamental change as digital technologies allow content to be delivered and viewed in new ways over the internet, mobile phones, and other digital devices.
2) This is shifting the television paradigm and shaking up the industry by changing how TV is produced, distributed, and consumed. Viewers now have more control over what and when they watch.
3) Advertisers are following audiences to digital platforms like the internet as viewers, especially younger people, use new technologies more than traditional television for news and entertainment. This poses challenges for the television industry business model.

Cat Financial reported record first quarter revenues of $713 million, up 9% from the previous year, with profits of $125 million, a 6% increase. The revenue growth was driven by higher interest rates on existing loans and growth in the loan portfolio. New retail financing increased 5% to $2.74 billion due to growth in Europe and other segments, while past dues increased but remained within expectations. The results demonstrate the strength of Caterpillar's financial services in supporting diverse industries.
A toxic combination of 15 years of low growth, and four decades of high inequality, has left Britain poorer and falling behind its peers. Productivity growth is weak and public investment is low, while wages today are no higher than they were before the financial crisis. Britain needs a new economic strategy to lift itself out of stagnation.
Scotland is in many ways a microcosm of this challenge. It has become a hub for creative industries, is home to several world-class universities and a thriving community of businesses – strengths that need to be harness and leveraged. But it also has high levels of deprivation, with homelessness reaching a record high and nearly half a million people living in very deep poverty last year. Scotland won’t be truly thriving unless it finds ways to ensure that all its inhabitants benefit from growth and investment. This is the central challenge facing policy makers both in Holyrood and Westminster.
What should a new national economic strategy for Scotland include? What would the pursuit of stronger economic growth mean for local, national and UK-wide policy makers? How will economic change affect the jobs we do, the places we live and the businesses we work for? And what are the prospects for cities like Glasgow, and nations like Scotland, in rising to these challenges?

OJPs are becoming a critical resource for policy-makers and researchers who study the labour market. LMIC continues to work with Vicinity Jobs’ data on OJPs, which can be explored in our Canadian Job Trends Dashboard. Valuable insights have been gained through our analysis of OJP data, including LMIC research lead
Suzanne Spiteri’s recent report on improving the quality and accessibility of job postings to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
Decoding job postings: Improving accessibility for neurodivergent job seekers
Improving the quality and accessibility of job postings is one way to reduce employment barriers for neurodivergent people.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.

3. Time Warner 2007 Profile 1
A MESSAGE FROM
CHAIRMAN & CEO RICHARD D. PARSONS AND
PRESIDENT & COO JEFFREY L. BEWKES
Time Warner delivered an impressive year in 2006, and we
are well positioned to capitalize yet again in 2007 on this
company’s exciting potential. In fact, despite competing in
rapidly evolving industries, we have never been more confident
that Time Warner is on the right path to generate sustainable
long-term growth for the benefit of our shareholders.
Among our most significant accomplishments in 2006 were:
• Meeting our company’s full-year financial objectives;
• Completing our acquisition of the Adelphia and Comcast
cable systems and enabling Time Warner Cable to become
a publicly traded company;
• Shifting AOL’s strategy to focus resources on its growing
online advertising business;
• Launching what we believe are more digital initiatives than
any of our diversified media and entertainment peers;
• Expanding our stock repurchase program to a total of $20
billion and increasing our quarterly dividend by 10%; and
• Continuing to produce the world’s best entertainment
and journalism, which earned ten Oscars® in 2007—more
than any other company—as well as the National
Magazine Award’s top honor and many Emmys®, among
other accolades.
We owe these significant achievements to our robust execution
against the company’s strategy. We believe that pursuing
the same strategic priorities will drive our future financial and
operational successes.
First among our strategic goals is making sure that we’re in
the right businesses. That means directing our investments to
our most competitively well-positioned companies, which also
have attractive growth prospects and fit well with our other
operations. In 2006, the greatest change to our portfolio of
businesses was our cable acquisition, which increased Time
Warner Cable’s footprint by almost one-third and opened the
way for 16% of the cable company’s total outstanding common
shares to be publicly traded under the “TWC” symbol on the
New York Stock Exchange. Just as we invested in our new and
existing businesses, we also moved in 2006 to divest more
than $4 billion of non-core assets—including our European
Internet access businesses in line with the new AOL strategy.
As we go forward, we’ll continue to allocate our capital
efficiently to enable us to focus more closely on our most
promising opportunities in the U.S. and internationally.
Our second strategic priority is to keep running our businesses
at the highest possible level, including cross-company collabo-
rations, to extend our leading competitive positions. For us, that
starts with meeting and exceeding our annual financial objec-
tives. Critical to achieving these targets will be our continued
execution against AOL’s new strategy, with its focus on offering
a full range of free products to build AOL’s audience and adver-
tising revenue. The early results of this new strategy have been
encouraging, with AOL’s advertising revenue growing faster in
the second half of 2006 than the industry average. Another
crucial effort will be—as we integrate Time Warner Cable’s new
systems in 2007—selling our innovative video, data and Digital
Phone services to millions of new customers as well as intro-
ducing compelling new offerings. And we’ll keep doing what it
takes to keep our other businesses on top—from our success-
ful Turner and HBO networks to Time Inc.’s legendary brands
and the dynamic Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema studios.
There’s no more important strategic priority for our
businesses’ future success than making the most of the
growing digital opportunities. We’re leaders in creating digital
content, with the #1 online news site (CNN.com), #1 business
site (CNNMoney.com) and the two leading celebrity sitesTIME WARNER IS ON
THE RIGHT PATH TO
GENERATE SUSTAINABLE
LONG-TERM GROWTH
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OUR
SHAREHOLDERS.
4. 2 Time Warner 2007 Profile
(TMZ.com and People.com). We’re among the pioneers in
digital distribution over a full range of outlets—whether mobile
phones, such as HBO and CNN distributing their programming
in the U.S. and internationally; digital television, including
Time Warner Cable’s Start Over service; or downloads, with
Warner Bros. and New Line content available on Walmart.com,
BitTorrent and other sites. In addition, Warner Bros. is driving
the campaign for dual-format high-definition DVDs. In the
“Making the Most of Our Digital Opportunities” section of this
Profile, you’ll read how these and our other initiatives have
gained real traction and we’re accelerating their development
in the future.
Finally, we’re committed to managing our finances to grow
our businesses and deliver value directly to our shareholders.
Even as we invest billions of dollars in building our current
businessesandacquiringnewones,weexpecttocomplete
our $20 billion stock repurchase program in the first half of
2007. Once it ends, we anticipate having repurchased about
25% of the company’s stock outstanding at the beginning of
the program. And we’re working with our Board of Directors to
determine how best to allocate our excess financial capacity
in the future. We also plan to continue our quarterly cash
dividend, which returned nearly $900 million to our shareholders
in 2006. At the same time, we’ll continue our company-wide
cost reduction program that aims to save $1 billion over the two
years starting in 2006. We believe all of our hard work against
our strategy has contributed to improvements in our stock
price in 2006. But we are by no means satisfied, and we are
dedicated to redoubling our efforts to build even more value for
our shareholders.
THERE’S NO MORE
IMPORTANT STRATEGIC
PRIORITY FOR OUR
BUSINESSES’ FUTURE
SUCCESS THAN MAKING
THE MOST OF THE
GROWING DIGITAL
OPPORTUNITIES.
JEFFREY L. BEW KES
President and
Chief Operating Officer
RICHARD D. PARSONS
Chairman of the Board and
Chief Executive Officer
There’s much more to Time Warner, of course, than simply
dollars and cents. Our company stands above all others for the
quality of the journalism and entertainment that we deliver
around the world. Beyond our successes at the 2007 Academy
Awards®, HBO’s 26 Emmys® in 2006 led all other broadcast
and cable networks for the fourth straight year. Also earning
well-deserved Emmy® recognition were Warner Bros. Television,
Telepictures Productions, Warner Bros. Animation, CNN, TNT,
Cartoon Network and Turner Classic Movies, as well as Time
Warner Cable and AOL. In addition, TIME magazine brought home
the top 2006 honor from the National Magazine Awards, and
four of Time Inc.’s Web sites won 2007 Digital Awards from the
Magazine Publishers of America. We have every confidence that
we’ll continue to see this level of achievement and more in
the future.
With the same dedication, Time Warner will keep pursuing
its corporate responsibility commitments. Our philanthropy
focuses on raising the academic achievement of students
from underrepresented backgrounds as well as supporting
organizations that nurture creativity and diversity in the arts.
By aligning our corporate citizenship with our business goals
and values, we enhance our capacity to do well while doing
good at the same time.
We’ll close by thanking those responsible for everything
Time Warner accomplishes—the tremendous women and men
who work for this company. We’ll continue to invest in them,
our most important asset, making our workforce more diverse
and developing our next generation of leaders. The creativity,
loyalty and hard work of our people make all the difference.
With their continued support, we’re confident that we’ll extend
our leadership as the premier media and entertainment
company in the world.

MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR DIGITAL OPPORTUNITIES
LEVERAGE THE POWER OF OUR BRANDS ACROSS
ALL PLATFORMS
Strong brands have proved able to cut through the cluttered digital
environment to success, andTime Warner’s many entertainment and
media brands are among the industry leaders.
One example of the power of our brands in 2006 was CNNMoney.com,
a joint venture betweenTime Inc. andTurner Broadcasting. Less than
a year after its relaunch, CNNMoney.com finished 2006 as the leading
vertical business and financial Web site in unique visitors and page
views. And we’ve seen much the same exciting story unfold with many
of our other brands online, such asTIME.com, Cartoonnetwork.com
and CNN.com over the past several years.
Not only do we extend winning brands from traditional to digital media,
but we also know how to create new brands for the Internet.TMZ.com
andTime Inc.’s People.com are the top two online destinations for
celebrity news. People.com leads all competitors in page views, while
TMZ.com, a joint venture between AOL and Warner Bros.’Telepictures
Productions, has quickly climbed to the top in unique visitors. And, in
an interesting monetization of an Internet brand,TMZ.com is expand-
ing to traditional media as a syndicatedTV show. In another Internet
collaboration, AOL and HBO have teamed up on a broadband venture—
THISJUSTIN.com—to offer a unique perspective on news, politics and
pop culture.
In addition, we’re making our brands available on other digital platforms.
Turner’s CNN.com ranks #1 among all mobile news providers in total
users, just as it leads all stand-alone news sites in reach and engage-
ment. Recognized withTime Warner Cable for deploying the first
premium subscription video on demand products (SVOD) in the U.S.,
HBO has extended its brand with the introduction of its HBO Mobile
and HBO Family Mobile services worldwide. Similarly, AOL is putting
such popular online brands as MapQuest and AIM on mobile services.
And New Line Cinema is developing a video game—adapted from the
studio’s planned December 2007 release, The Golden Compass—for
multiple platforms.
No company has more ingredients for success in
the digital arena than Time Warner. We have the
leading brands in multiple industries; our libraries
of content are second to none; we have expertise in
utilizing the latest technologies; and we recognize
that our future growth depends on all of our busi-
nesses continuing their outstanding digital progress.
We believe that Time Warner companies have
launched more digital initiatives than any other
diversified media company. In developing and
deploying our digital products and services,
we have focused on four principles:
• Leverage the power of our brands across
all platforms;
• Distribute our digital products and services
everywhere;
• Expand and engage our audiences to grow
revenues; and
• Manage our digital rights effectively.
“IN AN AGE OF SO MUCH INFORMATION, TIME INC.’S
POPULAR BRANDS AND STRONG FRANCHISES ARE
MORE IMPORTANT THAN EVER. THROUGH THE
STRENGTH OF OUR TITLES AND OUR DIGITAL
TECHNOLOGIES—INCLUDING MOBILE, ONLINE VIDEO
AND VOD—TIME INC. WILL CONTINUE TO GROW AS

MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR DIGITAL OPPORTUNITIES
DISTRIBUTE OUR DIGITAL PRODUCTS
AND SERVICES EVERYWHERE
It’s critical to make our digital content ubiquitous, as available as
possible to consumers through multiple partners, rather than limit
its distribution to exclusive arrangements.
Just as Warner Bros. has long pursued the strategy of distributing
its programming widely—including one or more shows on every
broadcast network—all of our content companies seek to make their
product available through as many outlets as possible.
For example, Warner Bros. and New Line now offer digital downloads
or electronic sell-through of movies and TV shows worldwide via
Wal-Mart.com, Microsoft’s Xbox Live (TV), iTunes, Guba and BitTorrent.
To distribute over video on demand and pay per view, Warner Bros.
and New Line work with U.S. cable operators as well as overseas
providers. Similarly, HBO, whose On Demand products continue
to be the most popular SVOD services in the U.S., has introduced
its HBO On Demand services over multiple outlets internationally.
Our studios are also taking steps to speed the adoption of digital
cinema systems to deliver a better audience experience at lower
costs. And AOL is opening its software to outside developers, which
helps put its products in front of more consumers—wherever they
are on the Internet.
Underscoring the value of open distribution, Sports Illustrated’s
SI.com has proved to be one of Time Inc.’s most successful Internet
brands. In 2006, Sports Illustrated nearly tripled the profit growth
of its digital venture, which contributed significantly to the fran-
chise’s bottom line. To extend the reach of SI.com, we continued to
expand its distribution substantially through pacts with Yahoo! and
NBCSports.com in addition to AOL.
“IN TODAY’S DIGITAL MARKETPLACE, NEW LINE

MAKING THE MOST OF
OUR DIGITAL OPPORTUNITIES
EXPAND AND ENGAGE OUR AUDIENCES
TO GROW REVENUES
In the digital arena, growth comes from increasing audience
reach and engagement, and then efficiently monetizing this
audience to grow revenues.
To capitalize on this opportunity, AOL shifted its strategic focus
in 2006 to becoming an advertising-supported Web services
business—offering e-mail, software, content and a suite of
services for free to retain its current audience as well as attract
and engage new users. Results so far have been strong. At the
same time, AOL has greatly improved its ability to monetize
this audience through advertising sales on its own network,
Advertising.com’s partner sites and AOL’s strategic partnership
with Google. And, as part of its global expansion plans,
AOL launched a new portal—AOL.in—in India for the rapidly
expanding online audience there.
Also aiming to increase its audience reach and engagement,
Warner Bros. is seeking to accelerate consumer acceptance
of high-definition DVDs. By supporting both formats—HD DVD
and Blu-ray—we aim to drive down consumer hardware prices
by creating competition among manufacturers and revitalizing
this important industry sector.
Time Warner Cable’s On Demand, Start Over and other time-
shifting products as well as its interactive television resources
are also helping to maximize audience and revenues. Time
Warner Cable helped pioneer these offerings and now provides
thousands of hours of On Demand programming. Start Over,
a technology enabling customers to restart TV shows already
in progress, earned a 2006 Emmy® for innovation and is being
rolled out in approximately half of our divisions in 2007. And,
capitalizing on its interactive television capabilities, Time Warner
Cable’s Active Advertising enhances our ability to monetize
these expanded audiences.
MANAGE OUR DIGITAL RIGHTS EFFECTIVELY
Criticaltothesuccessofthesefirstthreeprinciplesismanaging
our digital rights effectively. As a leading developer as well
as distributor of digital content, we fully appreciate that it’s
important to offer consumers the widest variety of options in
how they receive our content and to maximize the benefits of
new distribution technologies.
Digital rights management (DRM) opens the door for our divisions
to offer consumers more choices and flexibility. By using DRM,
forexample,wecanenableourcustomerstoacquireapermanent
copy of a film or television show, preview it with an option to
buy a copy later, enjoy it through video on demand, or acquire
additional copies to use on portable devices. This way, consum-
ers can buy what they want—how and when they want it—and
our divisions can price and support their offerings appropriately.
Our businesses excel at protecting the rights of those who
produce and distribute creative work while harnessing the
potential of new technologies for distributing our digital content
as widely as possible. We seek business solutions that secure
our digital rights while supporting new distribution technologies,
and we’re committed to pursuing a full range of legal, public
policy, technological and consumer education initiatives to
protect our copyrights and other intellectual property assets,
as appropriate.
All of these principles highlight the tremendous promise of
our many digital initiatives and how we aim to turn them into
major financial contributors. For Time Warner, there is no higher
priority than successfully pursuing these principles. If we
do, we’re confident that Time Warner will continue to build its
leadership in the digital sphere and to reshape the industries in
which we compete.

In 2006, AOL shifted its strategy to build on these strengths,
making its popular e-mail and AOL software, along with other
services, available free to Web users. AOL continues to move
forward on this strategy in 2007, with a focus on growing the
size of its online audience, increasing the engagement of its
users and improving its ability to monetize its Web audience.
AOL’s network of Web properties is one of the top three
networks in the U.S. Users are drawn to the robust AOL.com
portal—which in 2006 launched customized versions for
Chinese Americans and Latin Americans—as well as to AOL’s
suite of popular destinations. MapQuest, for example, is the
leading U.S. provider of online maps and directions. AIM is
the #1 messaging service in the U.S. Other successes
include TMZ.com (developed in partnership with Warner Bros.’
Telepictures Productions), which quickly rose to become the
#1 domestic celebrity site on the Web, and In2TV (a joint
venture between AOL and Warner Bros.), which makes
thousands of classic TV shows available free and on demand.
To capitalize on the growing demand for online video, AOL
continues to improve the AOL Video portal, launched in 2006,
to bring together content from leading brands, user-created
video, pay-per-download feature films and full-length TV shows.
AOL also has an industry-leading video search product, powered
by company-owned Truveo, that provides access to millions of
up-to-date videos on the Web.
AOL continues to improve on the essentials of the Web
experience. The new AOL Local search tool, for example,
provides users with quick access to information about the
locations of local restaurants, bars and other businesses.
AOL also recently launched an upgrade to its AIM software,
which a February 2007 technology review column in The Wall
Street Journal concluded was the best instant messaging
service available. The company continues to upgrade its
Webmail experience and improve offerings for safety and
security, storage, pictures and other areas.
AOL also has one of the largest and most effective advertis-
ing operations on the Web. AOL’s 2006 advertising revenues
were 41% higher than 2005’s. And in the first quarter of 2007,
ad revenues climbed 40%, compared with the first quarter of
2006. With Advertising.com, AOL not only has one of the largest
owned-and-operated networks of Web sites, but it also has the
largest third-party display advertising network in the country.
And thanks to its strategic partnership with Google, AOL can now
offer advertisers a full suite of advertising options, from display
to pay-for-performance to search-related text-based ads.
AOL operates one of the largest Internet subscription
businesses in the U.S., with 12 million domestic subscribers
at the end of the first quarter of 2007.
Finally, AOL continues to grow on a global basis as a Web
services business. AOL sold its Internet access businesses in
France, the U.K. and Germany so it could focus on providing
Web services in those countries. It recently launched portals in
India, The Netherlands and Austria, and it continues to explore
opportunities elsewhere in Europe and Asia.

TIME WARNER CABLE
BRINGING DIGITAL HOME
TIME WARNER CABLE IS THE SECOND-LARGEST CABLE OPERATOR IN THE U.S. AND AN INDUSTRY LEADER IN DEVELOPING AND
LAUNCHING INNOVATIVE VIDEO, DATA AND VOICE SERVICES.
As of March 31, 2007, Time Warner Cable had cable systems
that passed approximately 26 million U.S. homes in well-
clustered locations and had approximately 14.7 million
customer relationships. Approximately 85% of the homes
passed were in one of five principal geographic areas: New York
State, the Carolinas, Ohio, Southern California and Texas.
In July 2006, as part of Time Warner Cable’s strategy to
expand its cable footprint and improve the clustering of its
cable systems, a subsidiary of Time Warner Cable, and Comcast
Corporation completed their respective acquisitions of sub-
stantially all the cable systems of Adelphia Communications
Corporation. Immediately after these acquisitions, Time
Warner Cable exchanged certain cable systems with Comcast.
Comcast’s interests in Time Warner Cable were also redeemed.
These transactions resulted in a net increase of approximately
3.2 million basic video subscribers served by Time Warner Cable’s
systems and resulted in it becoming the largest cable system
operator in the two largest U.S. cities, New York and Los Angeles.
Bundling continues to be an important part of Time Warner
Cable’s customer proposition. This strategy of marketing a
combination of video, high-speed data and voice services has
increased subscription revenues and reduced customer churn.
In 2006, Time Warner Cable launched more new products than
in any year in the company’s history. New features included
Quick Clips, which allows customers to easily access short-form
video content from programmers on their TVs; Fantasy Baseball
Tracker, which enables fantasy baseball fans to track their fan-
tasy teams and players on their TVs; PhotoShowTV On Demand,
which allows customers with Road Runner and Digital Cable to
upload their home videos and photos to a Time Warner Cable
Video On Demand channel; and new features and plans for Digital
Phone customers, such as state and local calling plans.
TimeWarnerCablealsocontinuedtherolloutofpopularservices
such as Start Over, which enables customers to restart TV
shows already in progress. Start Over won the 2006 Emmy®
Award for Outstanding Innovation and Achievement in Advanced
Media Technology for Best Use of On Demand Technology over
Private (Closed) Networks. As of March 31, 2007, Start Over had
been launched in five Time Warner Cable divisions.
In December 2006, Time Warner Cable and Sprint launched
Mobile Access in Austin, Texas and Raleigh, North Carolina. This
new service links Time Warner Cable’s video, Road Runner and
home Digital Phone services with a Sprint wireless phone. Mobile
Access, which has been branded “Pivot,” offers subscribers a
number of features, including the ability to watch select news,
sports, weather and entertainment channels; send and receive
e-mail from their Road Runner accounts; integrate home and
mobile voicemail systems; and make and receive unlimited calls
between the wireless phone and the home Digital Phone without
using wireless plan minutes.
Time Warner Cable plans to extend its strong momentum
through 2007 and beyond by concentrating on execution in both
its legacy and acquired systems and the continued roll out of
new, innovative products and services. Among the new products
being rolled out in 2007 is Time Warner Cable Business Class
Phone. This represents an important complement to its existing
commercial data and video offering. Time Warner Cable plans
to offer Business Class Phone to small- and medium-sized
businesses in most of its legacy footprint by the end of the year.

In 2006, Warner Home Video led the home entertainment

both formats among home video distributors.
The Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group continues its
focus on maximizing current and next-generation distribution
scenarios for the Studio’s content. The Group is adapting the

NEW LINE CINEMA
Founded in 1967 by Co-Chairman and Co-CEO Robert Shaye,
New Line Cinema began as a small distribution company in New
York City. Shaye still runs the Studio, along with Co-Chairman

film directed by John Waters. Rush Hour 3, showcasing the
comedy duo of Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, debuts in August.

highly acclaimed A Prairie Home Companion and Academy
Award® winner Pan’s Labyrinth.

PERFORMANCES LED THEIR RESPECTIVE INDUSTRY SEGMENTS IN 2006, INCLUDING TNT, ADULT SWIM, CNN AND CNN.COM.
The continuing strong performance of Turner’s core television
networks business is powering digital growth across the
portfolio. Leading the company’s entertainment division, TNT,
television’s “destination for drama,” ranked #1 in total-day
delivery of adults 18-49 and 25-54 among ad-supported cable
networks for the fourth consecutive year in 2006, while TNT’s
The Closer became ad-supported cable’s #1 original series of all
time in households and total viewers. TBS, TNT’s “very funny”
sister network, held the top five sitcom spots among 18-49
viewers on the strength of Sex and the City and the TBS
debut original series My Boys. Court TV, which joined Turner
Broadcasting in 2006, had its best year ever in 18-49 viewers,
households and total viewers in prime time. New digital
businesses, including Veryfunnyads.com, Super Deluxe,
PGATour.com and ACC Select (powered by Turner-developed
PlayOn technology), joined the successful TCM.com,
NASCAR.com, TheSmokingGun.com and GameTap.
Animation standouts in 2006 included Adult Swim, which

2 billion game plays in 2006. Cartoon Network Worldwide
launched two new broadband networks, Toonami Jetstream
and Cartoon Network Video, which together served on average
more than 20 million video streams per month in 2006.

CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Time Warner understands that we cannot be a great company
unless we are a good company. This means that in addition to
providing the highest-quality products and services, we have
a special responsibility to help society come to grips with the
complex social and political challenges we face as a global
community. Time Warner’s corporate social responsibility
efforts include a focus on producing high-quality programming,
practicing responsible journalism, investing in our employees
and aligning our corporate values and philanthropy with
our businesses.
Theuniqueconnectionbetweenourbusinessesandphilanthropic
involvements leads us to be active participants in the education
and arts groups we support. These include programs that raise
academic achievement among highly motivated middle and high
school students from underrepresented backgrounds, as well
as organizations that nurture creativity and diversity in the arts.
In 2006, Time Warner and its business units contributed over
$314 million in cash and in-kind contributions to support
our communities. We also published Creating Opportunities,
a comprehensive overview of the Company’s philanthropic
initiatives in education and the arts. A Web version of the
publication can be found at www.timewarner.com/citizenship.
We have also made great strides in some of our most critical
corporate citizenship areas. We have adopted ethical sourcing
guidelines for our suppliers. And we continue to look for ways
to reduce our environmental footprint. We are proud of these
accomplishments and will continue to build upon them.
As part of our commitment to both inform and entertain, we
have developed a unique interview series called Conversations
on the Circle. Over the last two years, we have conducted six
Conversations at the Time Warner Center, featuring presidential
advisor Karl Rove, former President Bill Clinton, Supreme Court
Associate Justice Antonin Scalia, Academy Award® winning film
director Steven Spielberg, former Vice President Al Gore and
rock-star humanitarian Bono. More Conversations are planned
for the coming year.
Finally, we are working to increase our company’s diversity, in
both the workplace and in the marketplace. As our multicultural
global marketplace continues to grow, we know our success
depends on developing a diverse group of employees, suppliers
and products that reflects the consumers we serve.
We take our social responsibility seriously, and we are
committed to being a world-class corporate citizen.

To achieve our goals, we are continually expanding our efforts
to develop our people. For example, last year we launched our
first Creative Leadership Summit, a development program for
creative executives across all our divisions. We are expanding
the Time4Tomorrow program as well as Corporate’s existing
Management Edge program, offerings that focus on mid-
and senior-level managers, to include executives across all
divisions in Asia. Additionally, we introduced European and
Asia-Pacific Leadership Meetings, which will now take place on
an annual basis in Europe and every 18 months in Asia. These
programs complement our existing development efforts for all
employees. These include the Chairman’s Leadership program
for senior-level executives, the Breakthrough Leadership pro-
gram aimed at high-potential women executives, our Leading
for Results programs, which focus on VP-level executives in our
divisions, and our diversity training designed to foster a culture
of opportunity, inclusion and respect.
Our people are our most important asset. We understand that
the future of this company lies in their hands. We honor their
service. And we will continue to provide new and better tools
for personal advancement and corporate success.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Time Warner is committed to maintaining strong corporate
governance practices that allocate rights and responsibilities
among the company’s stockholders, Board of Directors and
management in a manner that benefits the long-term interests
of the company’s stockholders. Accordingly, the company’s
corporate governance practices are designed not just to satisfy
regulatory requirements, but also to provide for effective
oversight and management of the company.
For a number of years, the Board has devoted substantial
attention to the subject. For example, over six years ago, the
Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, with the
assistance of outside corporate governance advisors, began
work on developing a corporate governance policy. The Board
first adopted this policy in January 2002 and has refined it from
time to time since then, most recently in February 2007. The
Corporate Governance Policy sets forth the basic “rules of the
road” to guide the operation of the Board and its committees.
Similarly, before regular executive sessions became regulatory
requirements, the Board of Directors began holding regular
executive sessions without members of the management team
present, examined the performances of management and the
Board, adopted a code of conduct for employees and enacted
a set of ethics guidelines specifically for outside directors.
During the last year, the Board also adopted new policies to
enhance the company’s corporate governance practices,
including the company’s Policy and Procedures Governing
Related Person Transactions, which provide a policy and set of
procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related
person transactions.
In addition, the company has adopted a number of other
policies to help the Board effectively oversee the company’s
business. The Board and the Nominating and Governance
Committee have established rigorous criteria for selecting
directors that focus not only on director independence, but
also on ensuring that the Board has the appropriate mixture of
skills, professional experience and diversity of backgrounds to
provide strong oversight. The Board also reviews the company’s
strategy and approves a business plan and detailed budget
for the company at least annually. In fulfilling the Board’s
responsibilities, directors have full access to the company’s
management, internal and external auditors, and outside
advisors of their own choosing. And, to help ensure alignment
with stockholders’ interests, the Board has established
stock ownership and retention guidelines for both the Board
and executives.
Information on the company’s corporate governance is
available to the public under both “Corporate Governance”
and “Investor Relations” on the company’s Web site at
www.timewarner.com. The information on the Web site includes
the company’s by-laws, its Corporate Governance Policy, the
charters of the Board’s three standing committees (the Audit
and Finance Committee, the Compensation and Human
Development Committee, and the Nominating and Governance
Committee, each of which is composed entirely of independent
directors), the company’s codes of conduct and the company’s
Related Person Transactions Policy. These documents are
also available in print by writing to the company’s Corporate
Secretary at the following address:
