                    365 CORPORATION LAUNCHES 365TELEVISION

365 Corporation plc ('365'), a leading provider of content, community and
communications services across multiple digital platforms, today announces the
creation of a new division, 365Television.

In line with 365's multi-channel strategy, 365Television will make programmes
and interactive content for digital television, and further looks to exploit
365's existing brands and content over the broadband and television platforms.

To spearhead 365Television, 365 has hired a team of three former BBC
producers. Isobel Williams, Keith Bunker and Shaun Qureshi will join 365 on 26
January 2000 from BBC Choice, the Corporation's digital TV station. Williams
and Bunker are experienced radio and television producers, and pioneers of the
digital TV revolution.  Qureshi is a leading expert on the interface between
TV and the Internet.  The team have been at the forefront of simultaneous TV
and Net broadcasting, developments which will accelerate with the advent of
broadband delivery.

The first 365Television production will be a documentary on boxer Mike Tyson's
controversial visit to Britain ('Mike Tyson in the UK'), to be broadcast on
the BBC on 31 January 2000.

Dan Thompson, Chief Executive Officer of 365, commented today:

'We are delighted to welcome such an experienced team to 365. This is a very
important step in 365's multi-channel approach to delivering quality digital
content and services. With the impending arrival of next-generation
interactive and multimedia services to homes and businesses via broadband,
365Television will put us in a unique position to take advantage of the
interactive services that technology will allow.

'We have a wealth of experience within the 365 group and we believe we have
compelling content that will work in this new area.  Against the backdrop of
media convergence, we are pleased to be pioneering the creation and subsequent
exploitation of great content across multiple platforms.'

Also involved with the development of 365Television will be 365 founding
Directors Simon Morris (formerly BSkyB Programme Director and MD of Chris
Evans' Ginger Television) and Danny Kelly (prize-winning TV and radio
broadcaster).

365 creates and operates content in the areas of sport, entertainment and
lifestyle for the consumer and business markets under the 365 brand name.
