(the “Partnership”), Howard J. Tytel, Mitchell J. Slater and Thomas P. Benson on February 11, 2005 (“Amendment No. 1”), Amendment No. 2 to the Original 13D filed with the SEC by Sillerman and the Partnership on January 4, 2006 (“Amendment No. 2”), Amendment No. 3 to the Original 13D filed with the SEC by Sillerman, the Partnership, Sillerman Capital Holdings, L.P.

Sillerman, Capital Holdings, Fuller and Parent are collectively herein referred to as the “Reporting Persons”. The Reporting Persons are jointly filing this Statement. Unless specifically amended hereby, the disclosures set forth in the Original 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, Amendment No. 3, Amendment No. 4, Amendment No. 5 and Amendment No.6 shall remain unchanged.
The information contained in this Statement is not an offer to sell any Company securities and the Company is not soliciting an offer to buy any Company securities. Any such Company securities offered will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION
Item 4 of Amendment No. 6 is hereby amended and supplemented with the following disclosure:
The Company, the Parent and 19X Acquisition Corp. (“Merger Sub”) previously entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated as of June 1, 2007, as amended August 1, 2007, September 27, 2007, January 23, 2008 and May 27, 2008. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Parent agreed to acquire the Company at a price of $12.00 per Common Share in cash. The Merger Agreement provided that in the event the merger had not been consummated by October 31, 2008, the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either the Company or the Parent.
On November 1, 2008, the Parent delivered a letter (the “Termination Letter”) to the board of directors of the Company terminating the Merger Agreement. In terminating the Merger Agreement, the Parent cited the extraordinary national and global economic conditions that made it impossible to consummate the transaction. Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Parent is required to pay a termination fee of $37,500,000. The Parent has notified the Company that, as permitted under the Merger Agreement, it has elected to pay $37,000,000 of the termination fee by delivery of 3,339,350 shares of Common Stock, at the assumed valuation provided for in the Merger Agreement of $11.08 per share, with the remainder of the termination fee ($500,000) to be paid in cash. The Parent has further confirmed that the termination fee will be paid in full within thirty (30) days of the termination date.
Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Parent had agreed to acquire the Company at a price of $12.00 per share in cash. The Parent is a private company owned and controlled by Sillerman, the Chairman and CEO of the Company, and Fuller, a director of the Company and the CEO of 19 Entertainment Ltd, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
The Parent’s Termination Letter also indicated that the Parent and Messrs. Sillerman and Fuller intend to continue to pursue an alternate transaction for the acquisition of the Company.
On June 1, 2007, the Parent entered into an agreement with Promenade for an option to buy 1,491,817 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.01, of the Company, currently owned by Promenade. The Option Agreement was entered into in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Subsequently, the Merger Agreement was terminated, and the Option Agreement has also terminated. The Parent and Messrs. Sillerman and Fuller are continuing to negotiate with Promenade to enter into a similar agreement as the Option Agreement in connection with their pursuit of an alternate transaction for the acquisition of the Company.

(b) Not applicable. The Parent’s beneficial ownership no longer includes 1,491,817 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company that were subject to the Option Agreement with Promenade. The Option Agreement provided the Parent and Messrs. Sillerman and Fuller with an option to buy 1,491,817 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company. The Option Agreement was entered into in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement. Subsequently, the Merger Agreement was terminated, and the Option Agreement has also terminated. The Parent and Messrs. Sillerman and Fuller are continuing to negotiate with Promenade to enter into a similar agreement as the Option Agreement in connection with their pursuit of an alternate transaction for the acquisition of the Company.
(c) Parent has not effected any transaction in the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

(e) Not applicable.
Sillerman disclaims beneficial ownership of all shares of Common Stock held of record by Fuller. Mr. Sillerman resigned as a director of Tomorrow on July 15, 2008. Accordingly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Tomorrow from and after such date are no longer referenced herein. Sillerman, by reporting beneficial ownership of the 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock owned of record by his wife, Laura Baudo Sillerman, does not admit that he is a beneficial owner for any other purpose.
Fuller disclaims beneficial ownership of (i) all shares of Common Stock held of record by Sillerman and (ii) all shares of Common Sock held of record by Capital Holdings.
Except as disclosed in this Item 5 and Item 4, as of the date hereof, none of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, each of the partners who functions as general partner of Capital Holdings and of each of the persons who controls each such general partner set forth in this Item 5, beneficially owns or has the right to acquire any Common Stock.
By virtue of the relationships among the Reporting Persons, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act, and each Reporting Person may therefore be deemed to have beneficial ownership of all Common Shares beneficially owned by each of the Reporting Persons. Neither the filing of this Schedule 13D, any amendment hereto, nor any of their respective contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of the Common Shares of any other Reporting Person referred to herein, or is a member of any “group” within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Act or for any other purpose. Each Reporting Person also disclaims any pecuniary interest in the Common Shares beneficially owned by any other Reporting Person.
Except as described herein and as previously described in this Item 5 and in Item 4 above, no transactions in Common Stock have been effected by the Reporting Persons during the last 60 days.
ITEM 6. CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERSTANDINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

New York, NY 10022

November 1, 2008

CKX, Inc.
650 Madison Avenue
New York, NY 10022
Attn: Howard J. Tytel

Re: Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of June 1, 2007, by and among CKX, Inc., 19X, Inc. and 19X Acquisition Corp., as amended (the “Merger Agreement”)

Gentlemen:

The Merger Agreement provides that in the event if the Merger has not been consummated by October 31, 2008 (the “Outside Date”), then the Merger Agreement may be terminated by either CKX, Inc. (“CKX”) or 19X, Inc. (“19X”).

In view of the Outside Date having occurred and the Merger not having been consummated, 19X hereby terminates the Merger Agreement and agrees to pay the $37.5M Termination Fee set forth in Section 8.2(c) of the Merger Agreement.

Section 8.2(c) of the Merger Agreement provides as follows:

“Up to $37,000,000 of the $37.5M Termination Fee ... may be paid at [19X’s] option in shares of Common Stock valued for the purposes of this Section 8.2 at an assumed valuation of $11.08 per share, and the remaining $500,000 of the $37.5M Termination Fee shall be paid in cash.”

This will confirm that 19X hereby elects, pursuant to Section 8.2(c), to pay the $37.5M Termination Fee by delivery of 3,339,350 shares of CKX common stock, at an assumed valuation of $11.08 per share, with the remainder of the $37.5M Termination Fee ($500,000) to be paid in cash.

This will further confirm that the $37.5M Termination Fee will be paid in full within 30 days of the Outside Date.

Mr. Sillerman, Simon Fuller and 19X intend to continue to pursue an alternative transaction and regret that the extraordinary national and global economic conditions have made it impossible to consummate the Merger as contemplated by the Merger Agreement.

Sincerely,

19X, INC.

/s/ Robert F.X. Sillerman

President
