10 How We Measure Success 10 11

11 Brand Building for Long-Term Value WGN has scored an unusual success with its first original drama, Salem, generating strong reviews and positive word of mouth. Manhattan instantly qualifies WGN America as a significant new player in the increasingly crowded arena of top-tier content producers. Manhattan is a big improvement for the network promising enough to make it worth finding out what channel WGN is on in your cable lineup. WGN America has charmed viewers with Salem

12 Critical Acclaim Manhattan is in another class entirely, the kind of series that is so good, it lifts a network into a whole new tier. What Mad Men did for AMC, Manhattan could do for WGN

13 We Have Proven That We Can Attract Mass Audiences Total Premiere Viewers Total Premiere 3.4M 2.4M Viewers Increase over time period +935% +312% average among total viewers 30% of people who watched Salem during its first week had not watched WGN in the past year (Source: Nielsen Media; Live + 7) 13 14
