Launch of Ten Alps Ireland

Ten Alps, the factual media company, has launched a new business, Ten Alps
Ireland.  The new unit, based in Dublin, already has TV programmes in production
for the Irish national broadcaster RTE, and aims to replicate the broader mix of
Ten Alps' online and publishing operations in Ireland.

Ten Alps Ireland will be headed by Mark Gorton, until recently head of Multi
Media Arts Ireland Ltd.

Ten Alps aims to build its TV production business in Ireland and add other media
services as provided by its 650 staff to 61,000 clients in the UK - including
online, print and events.  The intention is to broaden the geographic scope of
its online video channels and create online video advertising production
businesses for the public and private sectors in Ireland.


Alex Connock, CEO of Ten Alps said:

"Ireland is a media market we've been considering since we founded Ten Alps, and
this struck us as the right time to go for it.  We are starting small, but we
hope to build a decent-sized business there over the next couple of years."

Ten Alps's existing TV production operations incorporate award-winning factual
production companies Blakeway & Brook Lapping, which between them have a slate
of commissions for BBC, Channel 4, Discovery & BSkyB.

Ten Alps, co-founded by Bob Geldof, recently announced further UK regional
expansion through one of its TV companies, Blakeway, which now has offices in
London, Manchester and Derby.

Note: Ten Alps Ireland is a division of Ten Alps PLC and is registered in
Ireland as Ten Alps Media Limited.
