COLLEGE TUITION THE PAYOFF IN "WINTUITION"

Game Show Network (GSN) has ordered 40 episodes of "Wintuition," the knowledge-based game that tests contestants' general education smarts from the first grade through college and offers a chance to win $50,000 towards their college tuition, it was announced today by Bob Boden, senior vice president, programming.

LMNO Cable Group, Henry Winkler and Sugar Bros. Entertainment will executive produce the new education-themed game show, which consists of three contestants competing against each other in a Q&A format.

"'Wintuition' is a clever way of giving people a chance to win a prize that is beneficial to their education," said Mr. Boden. "Game Show Network is pleased to support a format which promises a rewarding opportunity. The show is also a fun way for our audience to test what they remember from their school years."

"Wintuition" is the only game show that turns "knowledge into college." Three contestants are taken on a crash course as they speed through the first two rounds of general education questions beginning with first grade through middle school. In the third round, the two contestants with the highest scores put their high school intellect to the test. They compete for a chance to move into the final round where the champion could win $50,000 of tuition money.

KNOWLEDGE, MEMORY PUT TO THE TEST IN "CRAM" JANUARY 2003

Game Show Network (GSN) has ordered 40 episodes of CRAM, the non-stop question and answer game show that puts contestants to the ultimate test of endurance, memory and multi-tasking, it was announced today by Bob Boden, senior vice president, programming. James Rowley will executive produce and Graham Elwood (USA's "Strip Poker"), who is represented by The Paradise Group, will host.

In the show, all the answers are given, but can the players recall them after 24-hours of non-stop cramming, without any sleep? CRAM is executive produced by Jonathan Goodson and Mark Cronin.

"This high energy, off-beat quizzer represents Game Show Network's dedication to new and edgy original game shows. Following the success of 'Russian Roulette' and 'Friend or Foe,' I feel GSN is headed in the right
direction and I highly anticipate CRAM will appeal to all our viewers," said Boden.

CRAM consists of two teams of two players locked in separate study chambers for 24 hours. They must resist the urge to sleep while trying to retain as much information as possible from a huge array of study
materials. So random is the material that it can range from news magazines, books of riddles, instruction manuals for menial tasks, and lists of useless facts. The game consists of four rounds in which players
are quizzed on the reading material provided the previous day. The catch, in an attempt to drain as much energy as possible from the exhausted contestants, is that the questions come in a rapid-fire style
while the contestants are engaged in various physical stunts. The teams try to eliminate each other by earning as many points as possible, win $10,000.

GSN PLANS AN ALL-STAR AUGUST

Game Show Network (GSN) is rolling out the red carpet the entire month of August as it programs special daytime and primetime mini-marathon themed weeks, as well as, special star-studded episodes of classic game shows. In addition to its special programming, the network is also debuting the new word game, "Lingo," with host Chuck Woolery, on Monday, August 5 at 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT.

"We are always excited when we can present our marquee shows in primetime and are equally pleased with the great celebrity moments we have captured with our daytime mini-marathons," said Bob Boden, senior vice president, programming, GSN. "However, our biggest highlight of the month is the premiere of 'Lingo' with host Chuck Woolery. We believe 'Lingo' will become a hit with our audience, bringing enjoyment to our viewers for
years to come."

"Pyramid" shows include David Letterman, Tony Danza and Billy Crystal's record-setting performance for the fastest winning-time in the
final round.

The Connect & Collect Sweepstakes is easy to play and the more times you play the more chances you have to win one of
the 60 prizes per week. Prizes include Sony digital still cameras, Sony Network Walkmans, MP3 players, Sony DVD players and GSN t-shirts, among other prizes.

A GAME SHOW... IN A BOX?

Game Show Network's Marketing Department has pioneered a portable unit that brings the fun and action of game show playing virtually anywhere. The unit, "Game Show in a Box," features two player desks, a host podium, sound effects, a buzzer and even a host's blazer to replicate real game show playing at any location.
The unit will be used to shoot short-form programming and event promotions for the network.

In making the announcement, Dena Kaplan, senior vice president, marketing, GSN said: "'Game Show in a Box' will enable us to shoot original short-form programming at remote locations around the country and in any game format. 'Game Show in a Box' is not only an excellent vehicle to produce games that captures the true spirit and history specific to that geographic location but an opportunity to do localized co-branded games with our affiliates."

Ken Warun, vice president, creative director, GSN, added: "We are excited to begin using the box immediately for it will bring a new fresh look to game shows which are typically shot on studio soundstages. The portability also allows us to take advantage of interesting surroundings and local residents. The programming opportunities associated with 'The Box' are as endless as the formats we can play for the game."

"Game Show in a Box" will be launched in Boston as part of the CTAM Conference July 15-17. 'The Box' will be in operation at local landmarks such as Fenway Park, Harvard Square, Boston Commons and Faneuil Hall.

GSN, CHARTER, AND GAMEWORKS TEAM FOR CUSTOMER SERVICE PROMOTION

Game Show Network (GSN), the cable network devoted exclusively to game shows and interactive game play, and GameWorks, eat, drink, party and play, are partnering with Charter Communications, Inc. (Nasdaq: CHTR) in Fort Worth, TX and Ontario, CA to sponsor a locally integrated customer service promotion.  The promotion incorporates Charter's customers and GSN's marketing initiatives through GameWorks' locations.

Charter Communications and Game Show Network crafted this promotion with GameWorks in support of Charter's customer appreciation month.  This initiative is promoted via cross-channel spots on Charter systems and with certificates in cable bill inserts.  The certificate gives Charter customers one-hour of free game play at GameWorks.  The promotion also provides GSN with an opportunity to promote and play live games at GameWorks.

In making the announcement, Dena Kaplan, Senior Vice President of Marketing, GSN, said: "We are very pleased to be working with our colleagues at Charter Communications and our marketing partner, GameWorks, to produce this customer service promotion for Charter customers in these two important
markets.  This promotion complements our brand perfectly as well as our partners' and we are excited to be able to showcase our new original programming to Charter's customers."

"This promotion offers Charter a fun way to thank our customers for their business and for them to spend some time with their family members and friends," said Wayne Davis, Charter's Vice President of Operations.  "Game Show Network offers our customers high-quality programming that adds more
variety to our local channel lineup.  We're proud to be able to partner with them in this unique promotion."

"We are excited to provide a thematic venue to host this multi-faceted promotion in these two key markets," said Clint Manny, VP, Marketing, GameWorks.  "GameWorks is a prime location to drive awareness and produce fun for GSN's key viewers."

The promotion is a three-pronged event beginning with customized certificates which are inserted in the monthly bills of Charter Communications customers in the surrounding areas of Grapevine and Ontario.  These certificates are good for one hour of free video game play when redeemed at the GameWorks venues in Grapeville Mills Mall and Ontario Mills Mall during an allotted time period.

The second phase of the promotion encompasses the certificate's redemption at the respective GameWorks venues.  The back side of the certificate doubles as a sweepstakes entry form.  Customers who place the coupon in specially marked boxes at the GameWorks venue will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win tickets to a VIP party at GameWorks.

This VIP party is an exclusive Charter/Game Show Network event at GameWorks, including three hours of free game playing, appetizers and beverages for the winners and a guest.  The VIP Party will feature live game show playing of such GSN hits as "Friend or Foe?"  In addition, the VIP party will present opportunities for all party guests to win prizes such as Sony Electronics and other Game Show Network customized items.

GSN is awarding 300 VIP party invitations to eligible winners in Grapevine and 150 in Ontario.  The sweepstakes is limited to one prize per household and entrants must be 18 years or older to play.  The VIP event will be attended by local celebrities and cable executives and will take place on Wednesday, July 17 in Grapevine and Tuesday, August 27 in Ontario.
