Media Corporation PLC
                  

Media Corporation plc, a leading internet media and advertising company focused
on internet search, publishing and media sales, is pleased to announce the
re-launch of Onthebox.com, the leading online UK TV listings guide.

Onthebox, which receives over 1 million unique visitors per month and 3.42
million page views, today launches a complete redesign and significant
functionality upgrade.

The site has long been at the top of search engine rankings, but the redesign
and overhaul will keep it at the front of web 2.0. Some of the added features
include a blog space that reports celebrity news and other information related
to TV programming, community forums, streaming video clips and user membership.
These enable Onthebox to develop a relationship with the site users and
encourage them to return on a regular basis.

In addition, MediaCorp's in-house technical team has written a 'Google widget'.
This is a piece of software that users can plug into the Google sidebar
application to deliver TV news and celebrity gossip direct to the user's screen.
A customisable SMS alerting system will also soon be available.

Commenting on the re-launch, CEO Justin Drummond said:

'The rebuilt Onthebox site is a good example of how we can bring the synergies
within our group to bear on individual products. With the redesign and added
features, we expect advertising revenues to increase dramatically along with
growing site traffic and page impressions. We have further developments in the
pipeline to build off this very strong platform.'
