Guinness World Records TV Descends on NATPE After Record Breaking Year

LONDON, January 5/PRNewswire/ -- Guinness World Records TV (GWR TV) will arrive at NATPE after
one of its most successful years in the history of the company's television
business. In 2008 alone, GWR TV secured original programming in nine
different countries across the globe: USA (NBC), UK (Sky1), Germany (RTL),
France (W9), Italy (Canale5), Spain (Tele5), Portugal (SIC), Poland (Puls)
and China (CCTV).

Among the various formats, brand new UK show Guinness World
Records Smashed (Sky 1) is innovative and interactive allowing the audience
to participate from start to finish - submitting their own videos for review,
being picked from the studio audience or being part of the audience who
attempt a record as a whole. The success of the pilot tx'd in November
quickly lead to the series commission (8x60') for 2009.

An increase in distribution deals throughout Eastern Europe,
Scandinavia, Latin America and Asia continue to complement the ever growing
production slate.

Having enjoyed such success in 2008, GWR TV is now looking for
production and broadcast partners in new territories.

GWR's Director of TV, Rob Molloy said: "As a television brand,
Guinness World Records gives broadcasters what they want in these times of
economic uncertainty. Our brand recognition guarantees viewer ratings and the
shows offer inspirational and trustworthy content to their audience. We look
forward to being in NATPE and meeting new partners and broadcasters to
collaborate with in 2009."

Guinness World Records TV will be at NATPE, Las Vegas, USA
from the 27th to the 29th of January 2009 (Booth # 902).
