[1] Net of accumulated amortization of $76 million and $58 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The average useful life of the channel distribution agreements is 25 years primarily based on the period that a majority of the future cash flows from these intangible assets will be generated.

[2] Net of accumulated amortization of $181 million and $150 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The useful lives of publishing rights range from 4 to 30 years primarily based on the weighted-average remaining contractual terms of the underlying publishing contracts and the Company's estimates of the period within those terms that the asset is expected to generate a majority of its future cash flows.

[3] Net of accumulated amortization of $399 million and $363 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The useful lives of customer relationships range from 2 to 25 years. The useful lives of these assets are estimated by applying historical attrition rates and determining the resulting period over which a majority of the accumulated undiscounted cash flows related to the customer relationships are expected to be generated.

[4] Net of accumulated amortization of $83 million and $69 million as of June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The useful lives of other intangible assets range from 2 to 15 years. The useful lives represent the periods over which these intangible assets are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the Company's future cash flows.
