THE WB NETWORK BLAZES THE HI-DEFINITION TRAIL, WITH MORE THAN DOUBLE THE HDTV OFFERINGS FROM A YEAR AGO

NETWORK TO BROADCAST 11 1/2 HOURS OF

HI- DEFINITION PROGRAMMING PER WEEK

Programs Shot in High Definition are "Smallville," "Everwood," "Gilmore Girls," "Tarzan," "One Tree Hill," "Angel," "Reba,"  "What I Like About You," "All About The Andersons,"

"Like Family" And "Run Of The House"

      BURBANK, CA  - This fall, The WB Network takes another major step toward the future of broadcast television.  For the 2003-2004 season, The WB will broadcast 11 1/2 hours, or 77% of its total 15 hours, in HDTV, more than twice the total from a year ago, it was announced today by Jed Petrick, The WB's President and Chief Operating Officer.

      This season's hi-definition offerings will include broadcast dramas SMALLVILLE, EVERWOOD (including its EasyView airing on Sunday), GILMORE GIRLS, TARZAN (also during Sunday's EasyView), ONE TREE HILL, ANGEL and season-two episodes of "Smallville" in the SMALLVILLE: BEGINNINGS package.  In addition to dramas, the WB will also present the comedies REBA, WHAT I LIKE ABOUT YOU, ALL ABOUT THE ANDERSONS, LIKE FAMILY and RUN OF THE HOUSE in hi-def. This aggressive slate, which is sponsored by RCA, offers hi-definition programming on each WB broadcast night.

"We know, and Magna Global confirmed, that The WB has the largest concentration of upscale young adults in primetime network television," Mr. Petrick said.  "Those upscale young WB viewers are also early adopters of new technology.  We realize how vital it is to embrace high-definition production, the most exciting thing to   happen in television entertainment since black and white gave way to color broadcasts.  We also understand it is important to our local affiliates, and to the local cable systems on which they are carried, to have the availability of this high definition programming."

      "We are happy to be able to broadcast the majority of our WB programming in high definition,"  added Pat Mullen, Tribune Broadcasting president. This announcement from our partners at The WB gives us an increased presence as a provider of desirable high definition content."

      Tribune Broadcasting stations in 19 major markets provide more than 50% of the total delivery of The WB Network nationwide.

      The WB has increased the amount of 1080-I HDTV  substantially for the 2003-2004 season," said Hal Protter, The WB's senior vice president, distribution development.  "Cable operators have expressed an interest in compelling HD programming and this network schedule provides that, through original scripted series."
