Ten Alps PLC 02 November 2006 For immediate release 2 November 2006 Ten Alps Plc: Entertainment TV First major terrestrial TV commission Ten Alps Plc ('Ten Alps') announces its first significant terrestrial entertainment TV commission - six one-hour episodes of a Channel 4 series provisionally titled Harvey Goldsmith Presents... The project was announced by Channel 4 today, having been in production for the past three months. The commission represents the first publicised fruit of a move made earlier in 2006 by Ten Alps, beyond its core factual TV strength into entertainment and drama. In the series, high-profile promoter Harvey Goldsmith (Live Aid, Pavarotti in Hyde Park, tours for Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen) brings his unique experience of triumphs and setbacks in a lifetime as a showbiz impresario to the aid of six entertainment acts or businesses. Some are internationally famous, some are almost unknown. The precise content of the show will be announced when the series is broadcast in early Spring 2007. It is produced by Ten Alps TV, the group's entertainment subsidiary. Bob Geldof, co-founder and non-executive director of Ten Alps, said: 'It's an overused word in music, but I'll use it anyway: Harvey Goldsmith really is a legend.' On 30 October Goldsmith received the lifetime achievement award from the Music Industry Trust in a Grosvenor House ceremony. Background Ten Alps TV also has a cable/satellite entertainment series on air in the first quarter of 2007, namely Top Dog, on Discovery Animal Planet. The Ten Alps group also owns factual TV production companies Brook Lapping, Blakeway, 3BM and HDTV, as well as an interest in the Teachers' TV project. With around 430 staff, based principally in London and the North-West, the group also has publishing and internet interests. Forthcoming announcements Ten Alps will update on a specific date for its interim results and accompanying analyst presentation in due course. Ten Alps will update on progress on its internet TV activities - which are proceeding on target - before the end of November.
