A&E Television Networks and Extreme Music CREATE "Scoreganics Production Mu=
sic"

NEW YORK, April 21, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- A&E Television Networks, LLC (A=
ETN), the global media content
company owned by Disney-ABC Television Group, Hearst Corporation and NBC
Universal, announced a unique creative collaboration with Extreme Music, th=
e
worldwide production music unit of Sony/ATV Music Publishing resulting in
Scoreganics Production Music, a new production music library. The
announcement was made jointly by Russell Emanuel and Dolph Taylor, co-CEOs =
of
Extreme Music, and Doug Jacobs, SVP and General Counsel of AETN.

This first-of-a-kind pact with industry leader Extreme will
create Scoreganics, a new library of genre-focused television underscores
inspired by AETN's compelling programming. Combining the strengths of the t=
wo
companies, the catalogue will have production music super-brand Extreme
creating, branding, marketing and distributing the library internationally.
The initial release of albums, Felony, Misdemeanor, Espionage, Curiosity,
Courage, Hope and Joy, are available immediately with further exciting
releases planned throughout the year.

The organic underscores in AETN's original programming on
A&E(R), HISTORY(TM), Lifetime(R), BIO(TM) and HITM have inspired the creati=
on
of Scoreganics. Doug

Jacobs credited Jennifer Insogna, of AETN's Music Services
Group, as the driving force behind the digital library initiative with
Extreme.

Extreme's Taylor said: "Sometimes less is more . . . it can be
all too easy to allow music to distract the viewer from great visuals. Ther=
e
is a massive gap in the market for a visually sensitive soundtrack library
specially constructed to be acoustically sympathetic. Scoreganics is now se=
t
to fill that gap."

In her statement, Insogna said, "Filling a need in
contemporary production music, Scoreganics has been meticulously created
using AETN's stable of premier composers. With its renowned catalog, powerf=
ul
search tools and intuitive user interface, Extreme Music is the perfect
partner to bring Scoreganics to the production music community."

Russell Emanuel added: "This is an interesting new take on production
music. There can be no doubt that A&E's composers have become expert at
creating televisual sub-score by working 24/7 in this niche arena. We are
excited to expose Scoreganics to Extreme's global clients."
