MSN to Feature Content from Entertainment Tonight

HOLLYWOOD, August 5: Entertainment
Tonight has signed a deal to
become the premiere provider of entertainment and celebrity content for MSN,
and will also produce a daily online mini-newscast, ET on MSN, hosted by on-air talent from the syndicated
newsmagazine.

Entertainment Tonight will have a branded presence on MSN Entertainment’s
homepage, providing articles, video segments and photos. The content will be
featured across all sections of MSN Entertainment, including MSN Television,
MSN Music and MSN Movies, and will launch this fall.

Currently in its 27th
season, Entertainment Tonight is
produced and distributed by CBS Television Distribution.

"This is a perfect
example of the type of endeavors we've charged Scott Koondel and his new-media
sales team with," said John Nogawski, the president of CBS Television
Distribution. "This exciting partnership is a natural extension of the ET brand and should bring value to our affiliate
stations, our viewers and now, online consumers."

"Entertainment
Tonight and MSN are a perfect
match," said Linda Bell Blue, the show’s executive producer. "Pairing
ET, the number one source for
celebrity news on TV, with MSN, a top online web destination, will create a
one-stop source for celebrity and entertainment news. We're thrilled to expand ET's web presence with such a top-notch
partner."
