to Rapidly Growing Presence

MGM Networks, a unit of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc. (NYSE: MGM), has launched The MGM Channel in Taiwan and signed an agreement to launch the channel in Malaysia in coming months. Since debuting a customized MGM-branded channel a

countries and territories. The MGM Channel is produced and distributed in the
region by MGM Networks through a strategic alliance with CNBC Asia Pacific.

"Distributors across Greater China and Southeast Asia have greeted The MGM Channel with a level of enthusiasm far beyond our original expectations," said Bruce Tuchman, executive vice president of MGM Networks. "We are so pleased to add the key markets of Taiwan and Malaysia to the channel's current reach in

Hong Kong, Singapore, Indonesia, Macau and Thailand."

In Taiwan, The MGM Channel can now be seen via Taiwan Broadband

Communications, one of the market's leading cable operators. In Malaysia, The
MGM Channel will soon be seen on the country's newest Pay-TV platform, MiTV,
which is backed by Vincent Tan.

"CNBC Asia Pacific could not be happier about our strategic alliance with MGM and the success we are having in the marketplace," said Alexander P. Brown, president and CEO of CNBC Asia Pacific. "It's gratifying to see that the

marriage of our two organizations' complementary commercial strengths and
creative capabilities have been so well-received in the region."

"As we arrive later this month at CASBAA, we are very honored to have

earned the support of so many of the region's leading distribution platforms,"
said Courtney Williams, MGM Networks' vice president, international sales and
marketing. "At CASBAA, and as we move forward, we are looking forward to taking
these relationships to even greater heights, as well as forging new
distribution partnerships all across the region."

"The MGM Channel's first year of operations is a great story about reaching out to our viewers and distributors," said Shawn Galey, CNBC Asia Pacific's vice president, business and legal affairs. "With even more exciting MGM movie titles coming to the channel, we look forward to building upon the strong foundation that we have formed in the past 12 months.

"Separately, MGM Networks holds interests in MGM-branded and other channels reaching scores of countries and territories worldwide. In the Asia-Pacific region, these interests include two branded channels in Korea and one in New Zealand. In addition, branded MGM Channels reach millions of subscribers across Europe, Latin America and Africa. Among MGM Networks' latest channel launches are The MGM Channel in Spain, which launched this summer and a Russian-language version of The MGM Channel, which is scheduled to launch to subscribers in Russia and Latvia later this fall.
