Performance Summary Overall, Knowledge Network met our targets for Average Weekly Reach in B.C. in 2010/12, exceeding targets for spring and summer for on-air viewership. We averaged a 4.0% audience share for our primetime schedule (BBM Canada Winter 2012). Knowledge Kids was strong during the spring season with new episodes of Wild Kratts and Rob the Robot, two of our most popular programs for kids. Targets for web visits and page views exceeded expectations. We attribute this success to a significant increase in programming available on both Knowledge.ca and KnowledgeKids.ca, including original B.C. content. We also made efforts to increase awareness of Knowledge Network content available online, and introduced a number of new interactive games on KnowledgeKids.ca.

Goal #3: Create original content for multi-platform delivery through partnerships with independent producers. Importance of Measures Knowledge Network will continue to play a vital role in supporting the development and production of multiplatform content at a time when the industry is threatened by unprecedented economic pressures. By building and strengthening key relationships, Knowledge Network can provide access to funding from the new Canada Media Fund to independent producers across traditional and interactive media sectors. Percentage of all Knowledge Network Prelicenses that have a Multi-platform Component We track this measure through projects that are funded by and meet the criteria outlined by the Canada Media Fund. Prelicenses refer to the investment Knowledge Network makes in the development, production and broadcast of original Canadian programming. Budget Commitment to Independent Production Budget pressures continue to be a challenge; however, Knowledge Network is committed to maintaining the same level of funding for independent production of original content for both television, web and mobile platforms.

In fiscal 2011/12, we committed a significant amount of funding from our Canada Media Fund envelope to the development of a new documentary series commissioned by Knowledge Network tentatively titled The Emergency Room. This investment had a major impact on our forecast for this year. We continued with our annual budget commitment to Knowledge Network independent productions through the commissioning and prelicensing of original content.
