EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
- - BET shares appear to trade based on a multiple of consolidated
------------
profitability
- - Profitability and valuation of BET Holdings is depressed by operating
losses for the Company's other ventures which detract from the value of the
core cable network
- - Furthermore, valuation is impacted by concern as to Management's growth
strategy
- Little evidence that the cable brand meaningfully reduces the risks
inherent to the start ups of multiple new businesses
- - Given turnaround of losses and big pick up in 1998 EBITDA for the core
network, there is a potential in the short to medium term for a step
function change in valuation over the coming twelve months
- - The fundamental drivers of valuation will be Management's ability to
capitalize on key strengths of the business
- "Brand Equity"
- Loyal customer base with attractive demographics
- Strong distribution
- Inexpensive access to programming
- Strong cash flow margins
- - Key concerns by investors currently affect valuation
- Brand extension growth strategy dilutes the Company's core cable
network story
- Small public float
- Large concentration of voting between Johnson and Liberty (over 90%)
- High concentration of voting prevents stock from trading with a "take-
out premium"
- Growth perspectives given highly penetrated customer base
- Arrival of digital cable systems could threaten "scarcity" value
attributed to BET's current widespread distribution

SUMMARY OF THE PROPOSAL
- - $63 per share for those shares not now owned by Purchasing Group
- - Purchasing Group consisting of Robert Johnson and Liberty Media Corporation
- Johnson and Liberty to maintain proportionate ownership
- If successful Johnson would own 67% of BET Holdings and Liberty would
own 33%
- Management options to be cashed out
- - Share purchase would be financed in bank loan market by Bank of New York
- - Structure of transaction will take the form of a "long form merger"
- Shareholder vote with neutralized voting

- -- SoundStage Restaurants also have a moderate effect on valuation
-- 95% EBITDA CAGR from 1998 to 2002 from $1.3 million to $19.3 million
- -- Action Pay-Per-View and Publishing Group do not generate meaningful EBITDA
over the projected period
Equity in Unconsolidated Affiliates
- -----------------------------------

CONTEXT OF TRANSACTION
- ----------------------
- -- Historically, CBS's previous management was bearish on cable, viewing it as
a trend that would eventually disappear. As their predictions proved wrong
going forward, Westinghouse was determined to get back into the cable
business (it ran Group W Cable until 1985) in order to successfully compete
with the likes of Disney/ABC/Cap Cities' ESPN and GE/NBC's MSNBC and CNBC.
- -- Although TNN and CMT has experienced significant growth during the boom of
the country-western theme, current market conditions show much slower growth
in country album sales. CBS's response to this is that the networks do not
only depend on music sales; the networks glorify a country-western
lifestyle.
- -- CMT International was not part of the sale. Westinghouse, however, did
transfer to Gaylord its 33% interest in CMT International as additional
consideration.
- -- Prior to transaction Westinghouse received royalties from TNN and CMT for
distribution, marketing and sales services
- -- 33% of net revenues for TNN
- -- 10% of net revenues for CMT
