UTV AWARDED SOUTH AFRICAN BROADCASTING LICENCE

UTV Media (GB) Limited, a subsidiary of UTV Media plc (UTV) - along with its
four joint venture partners - has been awarded a broadcast licence by the
Independent Communications Authority of South Africa (ICASA) to launch South
Africa's first 24-hour sports radio station talkSPORT 540AM.

talkSPORT International broadcasts live Barclays Premier League commentary in 8
languages to 24 countries around the world and this new licence will further
strengthen talkSPORT's growing international appeal.

The medium wave licence will broadcast to a potential audience of eight million
people covering Gauteng province and taking in the commercial and
administrative hubs of Johannesburg and Pretoria. talkSPORT 540AM will be
modelled on UTV's London based station talkSPORT - the world's biggest sport
radio station - and will deliver first class sports journalism, high quality
debate and live match commentary to the South African audience.

The successful consortium comprises five joint venture partners each holding
20% equity in the new station. The in-depth local knowledge of the four South
African partners is complemented by talkSPORT's expertise and experience in
driving audiences through the delivery of attractive, sports led content.

John McCann, UTV Media Group Chief Executive, said:

"The talkSPORT brand has grown significantly over the past two years since we
became Global Audio Partner of the Premier League and began broadcasting live
commentary to fans around the globe.

"We look forward to launching this new talkSPORT station with our partners in
South Africia which is renowned for being passionate about sport.

"I'm confident that our heritage and experience in sports broadcasting,
together with the local knowledge and skills of our South African partners,
will make talkSPORT 540 AM a success."
