                  INTENTION TO ANNOUNCE AN INCREASED OFFER

                                    for

                           BORDER TELEVISION PLC

Capital Radio announces that it has today purchased 1,045,704 Border Shares
from a Border Shareholder, representing approximately 9.7 per cent of the
Border issued share capital for #14.00 in cash for each Border Share.

Such shareholder has also entered into an irrevocable undertaking over a
further 504,464 Border Shares to deliver to a custodian a form of acceptance
in respect of an increased cash offer (the "Increased Offer") shortly to be
made by Capital Radio at #14.00 per Border Share.  This undertaking will lapse
if a third party makes an offer at a price of #17.50 or more per Border Share.
This irrevocable is in addition to those irrevocable undertakings, amounting
to 25.3 per cent, announced by Capital Radio on 13 April 2000.

It is envisaged that the Increased Offer will include a full loan note
alternative and a share alternative on the same basis as the Capital Radio
offer announced on 13 April (of 92 New Capital Radio Shares for every 100
Border Shares).  No more than 7,500,000 New Capital Radio Shares, representing
less than 10 per cent of the current issued Capital Radio share capital will
be available pursuant to the share alternative.

A further announcement regarding the details of the Increased Offer will be
made shortly.
