Donna Gregg Subject: Letter from NCTC re difficulties in negotiating Fox RSN Carriage Agreements

Following up on my earlier message, I am attaching a copy of a letter that the National Cable Television Cooperative is sending to Chairman Martin today regarding the difficulties it is encountering in negotiating Fox-affiliated RSN carriage agreements On behalf of smaller cable operators as contemplated by the bargaining agent condition adopted by the Commission in the order approving the News CorplDirecTV merger. As explained more fully in the letter, News Corp. is refusing to acknowledge that smaller operators that appoint NCTC to act as bargaining agent to negotiate new or renewal Foxaffiliated RSN carriage agreements on their behalf may share with NCTC the terms and conditions of their relevant current (or expired) Fox-affiliated carriage agreements. By forcing NCTC to negotiate blindfolded, News Corp is frustrating NCTCs ability to effectively represent its small cable operators and thus is defeating the purpose of the bargaining agent condition (which was to give smaller operators a useful procedure to address the imbalance in market power and negotiating position resulting from the News Corp/DirecTV merger). If you have any questions, please give me a call, I would be happy to set up a meeting (or call) with senior officials of NCTC to discuss the matter further.

Subject: WWOR LOl This is in response to your Friday e-mail. With respect to your statement: Fox appreciates this clarification and will focus its efforts on generating a privilege log, if necessary, for communications in August and September 2009. I dont think that we limited the time period or scope as you represented in your statement. Rather, we agreed to exclude documents created after the date of the WI and to include documents responsive to Request Nos. 4 and 8. With respect to your statement: Fourth, we discussed Foxs understanding of Request No. 8. Specifically, Fox will produce documents, if any, that discuss, reference or cure any actual or perceived incorrect information in Exhibit A; that is, documents relating to the creation and presentation of Exhibit A to the extent of any actual or perceived incorrect information. Other than as discussed for the response to Request No. 4, Fox will not produce underlying factual documentation relating to Exhibit A. We arent sure we understand what documents you wish to exclude under this Request. The term actual or perceived incorrect information would include any information contained in Exhibit A that has been alleged to be incorrect by any party in this proceeding. Also, the request calls for documents relating not only to Exhibit A but also other submissions. We did not intend to limit the production to documents relating only to Exhibit A. Finally, as we stated in the phone call, given the inherent difficulty in knowing ahead of time how these understandings may affect our investigation, we may request further document production or clarification upon review of the documents produced. From: Sher, Jared S Sent: Friday, March 11, 2011 11:26 AM To: Robert Ratcliffe; Barbara Kreisman; David Brown; William Scher; Royce Sherlock Cc: Bush, Antoinette C; Carney, David E Subject: WWOR Call Thank you for taking the time yesterday to discuss Fox Television Stations, Inc.s response to the February 17, 2011 letter of inquiry (LOl). I write as a follow-up to briefly memorialize the contents of our conversation. First, all participants on the call agreed that the call was not an ex porte communication requiring disclosure under Commission Rules. Second, all agreed that the a response to the LOl will be considered timely if submitted on March 21, 2011. Third, we discussed Foxs approach to responding to the request for documents in LOl Request No. 4. Specifically, we stated that Fox will produce documents sufficient to support the representations regarding staffing levels made in Foxs written response to Request No. 4. The types of documents we discussed by way of example were management headcount reports. We stated that we would include in our narrative response information about the lob functions of the personnel identified in response to Request No. 4. This approach was acceptable to the Commission staff. In addition, we discussed the production of documents relating to the number of news trucks dedicated to WWOR-TVs mobile satellite coverage of New Jersey. The Commission staff agreed that it did not require documentation to support the written response in this regard, but said that any documentation revealing the fact that the news trucks were dedicated to WWOR-TVs coverage of New Jersey would be helpful.

Fourth, we discussed Foxs understanding of Request No. 8. Specifically, Fox will produce documents, if any, that discuss, reference or cure any actual or perceived incorrect information in Exhibit A; that is, documents relating to the creation and presentation of Exhibit A to the extent of any actual or perceived incorrect information. Other than as discussed for the response to Request No. 4, Fox will not produce underlying factual documentation relating to Exhibit A. Fifth, during the initial call and the follow-up call, we discussed the requirement that Fox submit a privilege log. In the follow-up call, all agreed that the privilege log should focus on documents responsive to Request No. 8 (i.e., documents generated during the time of the operative facts and not subsequent communications in response to the Commissions requests for further information or the LOl). Fox appreciates this clarification and will focus its efforts on generating a privilege log, if necessary, for communications in August and September 2009. Sixth, we discussed the production medium during the initial call. This topic was revisited during our brief follow-up call. During the initial call, we discussed a number of possible production alternatives. During the follow-up call, you advised that the volume of the production would likely drive the Commission staffs decision about the preferred production medium. As we get a more refined sense of the volume of the production, we will advise you and seek your input on the Commission staffs preferred production medium. Again, we appreciate your willingness to discuss these issues. Please let me know if the Commission staff believes that this email does not accurately memorialize the contents of our conversations.

Subject: RE: WWOR LOl Barbara, Thank you for your reply and for taking the time to work through these issues with us. We think that we are in agreement, but simply approaching the issue from two different perspectives (because we already have a sense of the answers and you do not yet have that benefit). Given the inherent difficulty in resolving these questions ahead of time, we propose to defer attempting to address any ambiguity until we file our response (including production of what we believe to be the universe of responsive documents) next Monday. We are hopeful that once you have had a chance to see the response in full, including the answers to your factual questions, there will not be any need for follow-up. Of course, should you have additional questions and/or desire clarification, we certainly stand ready to talk with you further. Our goal here is to be cooperative and to convey that to the extent you feel that anything is missing from our response it would not be a result of an intent to be non-compliant with the LOl. Please let us know if you have any questions, or if you desire to talk further in advance of our submission.

News International today announces that this Sunday, 10 July 2011, will be the last issue of the News of the World. Making the announcement to staff, James Murdoch, Deputy Chief Operating Officer, News Corporation, and Chairman, News International said: I have important things to say about the News of the World and the steps we are taking to address the very serious problems that have occurred. It is only right that you as colleagues at News International are first to hear what I have to say and that you hear it directly from me. So thank you very much for coming here and listening. You do not need to be told that The News of the World is 168 years old. That it is read by more people than any other English language newspaper. That it has enjoyed support from Britains largest advertisers. And that it has a proud history of fighting crime, exposing wrong-doing and regularly setting the news agenda for the nation. When I tell people why I am proud to be part of News Corporation, I say that our commitment to journalism and a free press is one of the things that sets us apart. Your work is a credit to this. The good things the News of the World does, however, have been sullied by behaviour that was wrong. Indeed, if recent allegations are true, it was inhuman and has no place in our Company. The News of the World is in the business of holding others to account. But it failed when it came to itself. In 2006, the police focused their investigations on two men. Both went to jail. But the News of the World and News International failed to get to the bottom of repeated wrongdoing that occurred without conscience or legitimate purpose. Wrongdoers turned a good newsroom bad and this was not fully understood or adequately pursued. As a result, the News of the World and News International wrongly maintained that these issues were confined to one reporter. We now have voluntarily given evidence to the police that I believe will prove that this was untrue and those who acted wrongly will have to face the consequences. This was not the only fault. facts. The paper made statements to Parliament without being in the full possession of the This was wrong.

The Company paid out-of-court settlements approved by me. I now know that I did not have a complete picture when I did so. This was wrong and is a matter of serious regret. Currently, there are two major and ongoing police investigations. We are cooperating fully and actively with both. You know that it was News International who voluntarily brought evidence that led to opening Operation Weeting and Operation Elveden. This full cooperation will continue until the Polices work is done. We have also admitted liability in civil cases. Already, we have settled a number of prominent cases and set up a Compensation Scheme, with cases to be adjudicated by former High Court judge Sir Charles Gray. Apologising and making amends is the right thing to do. Inside the Company, we set up a Management and Standards Committee that is working on these issues and that has hired Olswang to examine past failings and recommend systems and practices that over time should become standards for the industry. We have committed to publishing Olswangs terms of reference and eventual recommendations in a way that is open and transparent. We have welcomed broad public inquiries into press standards and police practices and will cooperate with them fully. So, just as I acknowledge we have made mistakes, I hope you and everyone inside and outside the Company will acknowledge that we are doing our utmost to fix them, atone for them, and make sure they never happen again. Having consulted senior colleagues, I have decided that we must take further decisive action with respect to the paper. This Sunday will be the last issue of the News of the World. Cohn Myler will edit the final edition of the paper. In addition, I have decided that all of the News of the Worlds revenue this weekend will go to good causes. While we may never be able to make up for distress that has been caused, the right thing to do is for every penny of the circulation revenue we receive this weekend to go to organisations many of whom are long-term friends and partners that improve life in Britain and are devoted to treating others with dignity.

We will run no commercial advertisements this weekend. Any advertising space in this last edition will be donated to causes and charities that wish to expose their good works to our millions of readers. These are strong measures. They are made humbly and out of respect. I am convinced they are the right thing to do. Many of you, if not the vast majority of you, are either new to the Company or have had no connection to the News of the World during the years when egregious behaviour occurred.

I can understand how unfair these decisions may feel. Particularly, for colleagues who will leave the Company. Of course, we will communicate next steps in detail and begin appropriate consultations. You may see these changes as a price loyal staff at the News of the World are paying for the transgressions of others. So please hear me when I say that your good work is a credit to journalism. I do not want the legitimacy of what you do to be compromised by acts of others. I want all journalism at News International to be beyond reproach. I insist that this organisation lives up to the standard of behaviour we expect of others. And, finally, I want you all to know that it is critical that the integrity of every journalist who has played fairly is restored. Thank you for listening.
