    talkSPORT extends Global Rights Partnership with Premier League to 2019

UTV Media plc (UTV) is pleased to announce that talkSPORT has extended its
international partnership with the Premier League for an additional three years
until 2019. The London-based station has been re-appointed as the Premier
League's global audio partner to the end of the 2018/19 season, continuing the
existing four year agreement which was due to expire at the end of the 2015/16
season.

Scott Taunton, Chief Operating Officer, UTV Media plc said: "In the two years
since its appointment as the Premier League's global audio partner, talkSPORT
has established itself as a truly international sports media brand.

"Today's announcement means we can extend talkSPORT into even more markets, as
well as creating new opportunities for advertisers and sponsors. I'm pleased
that talkSPORT's ever growing international audience will now be able to look
forward to listening to our world class live coverage of the Barclays Premier
League for a further three seasons."

Richard Scudamore, Chief Executive, Premier League said: "talkSPORT has for
many years produced high quality radio commentary of Barclays Premier League
matches in the UK, and successfully extended this to an international audience
when they became our first global audio licensee two seasons ago.

"We are extremely pleased that we will continue this partnership and look
forward to working with them as they make Barclays Premier League radio
commentary available in more languages and to more countries around the world."

As with its existing agreement, the extension gives talkSPORT an exclusive
package of international audio rights to provide official live commentary of
all 380 Barclays Premier League matches in any language to listeners around the
world outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland.

The new agreement follows talkSPORT's highest ever listening figures in the UK,
according to the latest RAJAR figures, with 3.4 million sports fans tuning in
every week.

talkSPORT is the world's biggest sports radio station and is global audio
partner of the Premier League. The station is an official broadcaster of the
Barclays Premier League, the FA Cup, England football internationals and the
Capital One Cup. talkSPORT is available on 1089/1053AM, on digital radio, on
