<P>Telemation Productions was started as a marketing tool by Telemation Inc. in
the early 1970s. It started as a single office located in Glenview Illinois, a
suburb of Chicago. In 1978 a second office was opened in Denver Colorado. Also
in 1978, the television equipment manufacturing operation was sold to Bell &
Howell. At that time, Telemation Inc. owned only the two production facilities
and the manufacturing building in Salt Lake City which was leased to Bell &
Howell. In 1979 Telemation acquired a production facility in Seattle and
re-named it Telemation Productions. In the early 1980s telemation acquired a
facility in Phoenix, AZ also re-naming it Telemation Productions. Also in the
early 1980s Telemation Productions added a Distribution Division located in
Chicago which provided duplication and shipping services to advertising agencies
and a mobile division equipped with a television remote truck. Telemation
Productions ownership changed in 1987 and again in 1990 with the Home Shopping
Network buying the company. The Phoenix office and distribution division were
sold in 1989 prior to the acquision by the Home Shopping Network. The remote
truck was sold in 1990. The Seattle office was closed in 1991, the Chicago
office was closed in 1993, and the Denver office the following year.</P></DIV>
