Boss--Premieres October 2011

Mayor Tom Kane (Kelsey Grammer) sits
like a spider at the center of Chicago’s web
of power; a web built on a covenant with the
people. They want to be led; they want
disputes settled, jobs dispensed, and
loyalties rewarded. If he achieves through
deception and troubling morality, so be it.
As long as he gets the job done, they look
the other way.  



Yet despite being the most effective mayor
in recent history, a degenerative brain
disorder is ripping everything away from
him. He can’t trust his memory, his closest
allies, or even himself.  



Kane’s wife Meredith (Connie Nielsen)
knows nothing. Theirs is a marriage of
convenience. Kitty O’Neil (Kathleen
Robertson), Kane’s advisor, has her
suspicions but stays silent. And Kane’s
political advisor Ira Stone (actor), a Yale
graduate with a rough edge, remains
question-less.  Only Alice (Hannah Ware),
Kane’s estranged daughter, has a chance
of learning his secret. This is going to be
the toughest term yet for the Boss.

Torchwood: Miracle Day
Premieres Friday, July 8, 2011   

Series Synopsis: One day, nobody dies. All across the world, nobody dies. And then the next day, and the next,
and the next, people keep aging -- they get hurt and sick -- but they never die. The result: a population boom,
overnight.   

With all the extra people, resources are finite. It’s said that in four month's time, the human race will cease to be
viable. But this can’t be a natural event – someone’s got to be behind it. It’s a race against time as CIA agent
Rex Matheson investigates a global conspiracy. The answers lie within an old, secret British institute. As Rex
keeps asking “What is Torchwood?" he’s drawn into a world of adventure, and a threat to change what it means
to be human, forever.

The  new generation of “Torchwood” will feature a critically acclaimed cast including Mekhi Phifer (“ER,” “Lie to
Me”), Bill Pullman (Independence Day, The Grudge) and, in an extended guest role, Lauren Ambrose (“Six Feet
Under,” The Other Woman). Pullman, who portrays Oswald Danes, a former school teacher and convicted child
killer, and Phifer, join “Torchwood” alumni John Barrowman (Capt. Jack Harkness) and Eve Myles (Gwen
Cooper) in the 10 episode hour-long drama.   

Also joining the cast are Alexa Havins (When in Rome, Fat Girls) as Esther Drummond, a deskbound CIA
employee who dreams of active duty and who suddenly finds herself running alongside Jack, Gwen and Rex;
and Arlene Tur (“Crash,” Eat Pray Love) as Dr. Vera Juarez, a Washington D.C. surgeon, who finds herself on
the frontline of medical care on “Miracle Day” advising the government think-tanks on the best course of action
for the world’s population.    



Boss
Premieres October 2011
  

Series Synopsis: Mayor Tom Kane (Kelsey Grammer) sits like a spider at the center of Chicago’s web of power;
a web built on a covenant with the people. They want to be led, they want disputes settled, jobs dispensed, and
loyalties rewarded. If he achieves through deception and troubling morality, so be it. As long as he gets the job
done, they look the other way.

Yet despite being the most effective mayor in recent history, a degenerative brain disorder is ripping everything
away from him. He can’t trust his memory, his closest allies, or even himself.

Kane’s wife Meredith (Connie Nielsen) knows nothing. Theirs is a marriage of convenience. Kitty O’Neil
(Kathleen Robertson), Kane’s advisor, has her suspicions but stays silent. And Kane’s political advisor Ira
Stone (actor), a Yale graduate with a rough edge, remains questionless.

Only Alice (Hannah Ware), Kane’s estranged daughter, has a chance of learning his secret. This is going to be
the toughest term yet for the Boss.


Camelot
Fridays, Starting April 1, 2011   

Series Synopsis: In the wake of King Uther’s sudden death, chaos threatens to engulf Britain.  When the
sorcerer Merlin has visions of a dark future, he installs the young and impetuous Arthur, Uther’s unknown son
and heir, who has been raised from birth as a commoner. But Arthur’s cold and ambitious half sister Morgan
will fight him to the bitter end, summoning unnatural forces to claim the crown in this epic battle for control.
These are dark times indeed for the new king, with Guinevere being the only shining light in Arthur’s harsh
world. Faced with profound moral decisions, and the challenge of uniting a kingdom broken by war and steeped
in deception, Arthur will be tested beyond imagination. Forget everything you think you know…this is the story of
Camelot that has never been told before.

Featuring a talented ensemble cast including Joseph Fiennes reimagining the iconic role of Merlin, Jamie
Campbell Bower as the young and reckless Arthur, and Eva Green in her television debut as the darkly
powerful Morgan, the character-driven series also features Tamsin Egerton (Guinevere), Claire Forlani (Igraine),
Peter Mooney (Kay), Philip Winchester (Leontes) and Diarmaid Murtagh (Brastias).
S3 Group Takes Center Stage at
CableNET® 2011

Global TV Technology Provider
Joins Fellow Innovators at Cable’s
Premier Event

CHICAGO (The Cable Show 2011)
– June 13, 2011 – S3 Group, a
global provider of technology,
solutions and services for the
digital TV market, today
announced its participation in the
CableNET® 2011 technology
showcase at The Cable Show
2011 in Chicago, June 14-16.  The
company will show its leading
StormTest™ Development Center
automated set-top box (STB)
testing solution, which offers
service providers an efficient and
effective route to developing and
validating content delivery
platforms.

At The Cable Show 2011, S3
Group will test interactive
applications, specifically those
that support and validate EBIF™
specifications for interactive TV.  
Visitors will see StormTest
Development Center in action as it
is triggered by the presence of
applications in the broadcast
stream. With this approach,
operators and service providers
have the ability to conduct testing
as the application is seen on air –
allowing real-time confirmation of
applications running correctly
across the platform. S3 Group will
also demonstrate its user
interface for test creation which
allows non-programmers to easily
develop their own automated
tests, along with a testing station
for up to four STBs
simultaneously.

“The emergence and adoption of
interactive TV applications and
specifications such as EBIF and
tru2way® presents the cable
industry with a variety of testing
challenges, especially on multi-
platforms,” said John O’Brien,
CEO of S3 Group.  “At The Cable
Show S3 Group will display
efficient, cost-effective and widely
deployed solutions that take those
challenges and turn them into
opportunities for operators by
ensuring that the testing is
accurate and reliable – no matter
the platform.  We hear this
request from our many global
customers, especially those in the
North American market, and we
look forward to sharing our
solution with them in Chicago and
later this summer at the
CableLabs® Summer
Conference.”

The CableNET industry exhibit at
The Cable Show 2011 is co-
sponsored by CableLabs and the
National Cable &
Telecommunications Association
(NCTA).  Its goal is to display the
most innovative content, services,
and applications of today and
tomorrow.
