RealNetworks, CBS in Deal to Provide Live Feed of Big Brother 8

SEATTLE, February 11: CBS and RealNetworks have teamed up to
offer viewers exclusive 24/7 online access to live video feeds inside the Big
Brother house for the eighth season of the
hit reality series, which is scheduled to premiere tomorrow at 9 p.m.

Live webcast coverage begins immediately following
tomorrow’s premiere of Big Brother: ‘Til Death Do You Part, the first winter edition of the series. Coverage
from the entire three-month season will be accessible through RealNetworks’
SuperPass subscription service at www.real.com/bigbrother, in addition to the
official Big Brother website at
CBS.com. Subscriptions to the SuperPass season pass are $39.99 for three months
or $14.99 per month and available at www.real.com/superpass.

Following the popularity of last season's Big Brother, fans will once again be offered the opportunity to
chat live with houseguests once they leave. This season, fans will also be able
to play online games and watch videos while they tune into the live feed.

The Big Brother subscription
service offers a behind-the-scenes look at the hit CBS show after the cameras
stop rolling. The online Big Brother community within SuperPass and on Film.com includes a blog, photo galleries,
live feeds into the Big Brother house
and show recaps, as well as message boards, commentary, astrological profiles
and a regular "Ask Big Brother" question and answer column.
Additional Big Brother bonus
coverage and Film.com features can be accessed for free at
www.film.com/bigbrother.

Subscribers to Big
Brother: ‘Til Death Do You Part will also
have access to other SuperPass services including free music, full-length
movies, radio and RealPlayer software, which allows users to download non-DRM
protected videos from thousands of sites on the web.

“The Internet is a natural extension for traditional
television programming, providing consumers with greater access to the content
they love and allowing content providers another means of marketing to fans,”
said Elizabeth Coppinger, the VP of video services for RealNetworks. “With the
growing demand for more content from 'after show' sites and the continued
popularity of Big Brother, Real's 24/7
access and bonus features encourage greater interaction among fans in
real-time.”

Big Brother: ‘Til Death Do You Part is executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Allison
Grodner and Rich Meehan, in association with Endemol USA.
