Based on management's total revenue estimates at December 30, 2012, substantially all of the unamortized television programming costs relating to released productions are expected to be amortized during the next three years. Based on current estimates, the Company expects to amortize approximately $48,000 of the $65,201 of released programs during fiscal 2013.

At December 30, 2012, acquired program libraries are fully amortized.
