Sportsworld  Media  Group  plc  ("Sportsworld"  or   "the
Company")

Timetable for Open Offer

On  6  March 2000 the Company announced an Open Offer  of
4,511,037 new Sportsworld Shares at a price of  620p  per
share  to  be made to Qualifying Shareholders by Investec
Henderson Crosthwaite on behalf of the Company.  Set  out
below  are  further  details of the Open  Offer  and  the
expected timetable of principal events.

The Open Offer is to be made on the basis of

1 new Sportsworld Share for every 12 Sportsworld Shares

held  on  the  Record date and so in proportion  for  any
greater or smaller number of existing Sportsworld  Shares
then  held. Entitlements to new Sportsworld Shares  under
the  Open Offer will be rounded down to the nearest whole
Sportsworld  Share. Fractional entitlements will  not  be
allotted  but  will  be aggregated  and  placed  for  the
benefit  of the Company.  Application forms are  personal
to  Shareholders  and  may not be transferred  except  to
satisfy bona fide market claims.

Qualifying  Shareholders should be aware that  under  the
Open  Offer, unlike a rights issue, the Open Offer Shares
not  applied for will not be sold in the market  for  the
benefit  of Qualifying Shareholders who do not apply  for
their entitlement to such shares under the Open Offer but
will instead be placed pursuant to the Placing.

A   prospectus  containing  the  formal  Open  Offer   to
Qualifying  Shareholders, together  with  an  Application
Form is expected to be posted in due course.
