("LEI"). The International Bureau granted the pro form transfer of control applications on April 9, 2009. See In the Matter of Application for Authority to Transfer Control of Satellte Earth Station and Space Station Licenses from Liberty Media Corporation, Transferor, to Liberty Entertainment Inc., Transferee, Order, DA 09-780 (reI. Apr. 9, 2009). Pursuant to 47 C.F.R. §1.65, this letter updates certain information contained in the applications and in an amendment to the applications fied with the FCC on March 5, 2009. As set forth below, the following updated information is provided: (1) Restructuring of, and changes in, ownership of GSN and FUN Technologies ULC ("FUN"); and (2) Revisions to lists of assets currently attributed to Libert Entertainment group trackig stock and of LEI assets following consummation of the split-off.

Ms. Marlene H. Dortch, Secretary May 8, 2009 Page 2 1. The pro form transfer of control application fied by Liberty Media for the transmit/receive earth station license held by GSN stated that Libert Media exercised negative control over GSN by virte of its 50 percent ownership interest in GSN and the management provisions of the GSN Operating Agreement. The application also stated that Sony Pictures Entertainment, Inc., an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony Corporation of America ("Sony"), through two wholly-owned subsidiaries, holds a 50 percent ownership interest in GSN. See SES-T/C-20090128-00074. GSN and subsidiaries of Sony and Liberty Media fied a pro form transfer of control application in connection with a transaction in which Liberty Media would acquire an additional 15 percent indirect ownership interest from the two Sony entities, thereby increasing its ownership interest in GSN from SO percent to 65 percent. See SES-T/C-20090213-00193. Although Liberty Media acquired a majority equity interest in GSN as a result of the transaction, pursuant to the relevant governance provisions of the GSN Operating Agreement, each of Liberty Media and Sony continues to exercise negative cqntrol of GSN. The International Bureau granted that application on March 23, 2009. Liberty Media and Sony consummated the proposed transaction on April 9, 2009. In connection with this transaction, FUN became a subsidiary of GSN, and LEI's ownership interest in FUN decreased from 100 % to 65 % . 2. Liberty Media also reports the following revisions to the list of assets currently attributable to the Liberty Entertainment Group and the assets that wil be attributable to the Liberty Entertainment group tracking stock! and LEI following consummation of the split-off: · As of March 9, 2009, a 100% interest in PicksPal, Inc. was attributed to the Libert Entertainment group tracking stock; · As of March 24, 2009, a 100% interest in CDM Fantasy Sports Corp. (previously a subsidiary of FUN) was attributed to the Liberty Entertainment group tracking stock; · Following consummation of the LEI split-off, the 100% interest in PicksPal, Inc. and the 100% interest in CDM Fantasy Sports Corp. wil continue to be attributable to the Liberty Entertainment (to be renamed Liberty Starz) group tracking stock; and · Following consummation of the LEI split-off, LEI wil hold approximately $30 milion in cash, plus cash generated by operations after March 31, 2009, and approximately $650 millon in cash and cash equivalents wil be attributed to Liberty Entertainment (to be renamed Liberty Starz) group tracking stock. i In connection with the LEI split-off, the Liberty Entertainment group wil be renamed "Liberty Starz."
