NANCY TELLEM

(President, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group)

Nancy Tellem was promoted to the newly created position of President, CBS Paramount Network Television Entertainment Group in September 2004. She reports directly to Leslie Moonves, Co-President and Co-Chief Operating Officer, Viacom and Chairman, CBS.

In her position, Tellem oversees operations at CBS Entertainment and Paramount Network Television, including development, programming, production, legal and business affairs.

Prior to assuming her new position, Tellem had served as President, CBS Entertainment since 1998, overseeing all of CBS Entertainment's operations for prime time, daytime late night and Saturday morning as well as CBS.com, the official website of the CBS Television Network. She also oversaw CBS Productions, the Network's in-house production unit.

Under Tellem's leadership, CBS became America's most watched network as she oversaw the development of an impressive slate of new programs including CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION, television's most watched scripted program, the critically acclaimed and Emmy Award-winning reality series THE AMAZING RACE, CSI: MIAMI, WITHOUT A TRACE, TWO AND A HALF MEN and COLD CASE.

On the strength of those series, along with strong performances by the Network's veteran programs, CBS won the 2003-2004 season by more than two million viewers, the largest margin of victory by any network in 14 years. CBS also placed first in its target adult 25-54 demographic for the first time since 1980 and finished in its closest competitive position to first in adults 18-49 since 1993. CBS was the only network to post year-to-year growth in viewers and key demographics.

Additionally, CBS placed first in the November, February and May sweeps, marking the second consecutive season that CBS had swept all three major rating periods.

Tellem was a key part of the development of the phenomenally successful dramality series SURVIVOR. That series was the top-rated program of the 2000-2001 season in households, viewers and all key demographics. In the 2002-2003 season the continuing popularity of SURVIVOR, along with CSI and WITHOUT A TRACE, helped CBS win Thursday and break NBC's 18-year stranglehold on the night.

Tellem joined CBS in July of 1997, as Executive Vice President, Business Affairs, for CBS Entertainment and Executive Vice President of CBS Productions. As head of Business Affairs, she was responsible for all of CBS Entertainment's business and financial matters.

Prior to CBS, Tellem was Executive Vice President, Business and Financial Affairs, Warner Bros. Television, where as the second highest-ranking executive, she played an instrumental role in maintaining Warner Bros.' dominance as the industry's leading supplier of series to the networks. Under her business guidance, Warner Bros. produced many of television's top-rated programs, including "ER," "Friends," "Suddenly Susan," "The Drew Carey Show," "Murphy Brown," and others.

Tellem served in the Warner Bros. business affairs department since 1987 (then Lorimar Television) beginning as Director, Business Affairs. During her tenure and eventual rise to head of the department, she was directly involved in negotiations on nearly all series, television movies and mini-series produced by Lorimar/Warner Bros.

Tellem resides in Pacific Palisades with her husband and their three children.
