CBS TO IMPLEMENT ENHANCED DELAY OF GRAMMY AWARDS

Additional Measure Will Allow for Video Editing

CBS announced today plans to enhance their ability to edit out any
inappropriate and unexpected events from the Sunday, Feb. 8 broadcast of the "46th
Annual Grammy Awards" on CBS.

The enhancement will include the ability to delete both inappropriate audio
and video footage from the broadcast. Using a five second delay, CBS has
traditionally employed procedures that allow only for the elimination of
inappropriate audio. This new enhancement will accomplish both. The precise length of the
new delay has yet to be determined.

The new procedure, which is being coordinated with the Recording Academy, is
being put in place to safeguard against any unexpected and inappropriate
content being broadcast during the awards ceremony.
