                      GRANADA AND 365 CORPORATION EXTEND
                             STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP

Granada  Media interactive (GMi), the online advertising division  of  Granada
Group  PLC ('Granada'), has brokered a commercial partnership between  Granada
and leading digital content provider 365 Corporation plc ('365').

This  mutually beneficial multi-million pound deal will generate new  revenues
for  both  parties and extends the relationship between Granada and 365  which
originated  with  the creation by 365 of the ITV Rugby World Cup  web-site  in
1999  and the subsequent ITV Six Nations web-site earlier this year. The fully
integrated multi-media package, starting immediately, runs until May 2001.

The  partnership  will provide extensive site profile and  banner  advertising
coverage  for  365's  content and services across both  web-based  and  on-air
Granada properties, such as on itv-f1.com.  It will also feature television
on-
air  advertising alongside the itv-f1.com URL on Granada Sky Broadcasting. 365
will provide dedicated editorial content for GMi sites, including football and
Formula 1.

Furthermore  365, with its strong audiotext experience and skills,  will  also
manage  interactive  telecom services for a number of  Granada  programme  and
promotional opportunities to be broadcast across the ITV network.

Kevin Baverstock, Head of Sales at Granada Media interactive, said:

'Granada is keen to forge business partnerships across its wide portfolio with
partners  who fully grasp the commercial potential of combining an on-air  and
online  presence.    In  this regard, we are delighted  to  be  extending  our
relationship with 365, who continue to lead the way as a digital  content  and
services provider.  The sector will see an increasing number of deals such  as
this,  which  underlines the powerful symbiosis between  traditional  and  new
media.'

Simon Morris, Marketing Director of 365 said:

'365's  online  editorial will enhance Granada's excellent content  and  the
potential  for  365  telecoms  services to  generate  revenue  across  Granada
properties is significant.  In summary, this deal plays to each of our skills,
delivering real benefits and revenue to both parties.'

The Business Division provides a 'one stop shop' of telecommunication services
and Internet applications to small and medium sized enterprises in the UK,
France and Ireland. 365 currently provides fixed line voice and data access,
telephone systems, mobiles, Internet access and related services.

In order to work towards national coverage, 365 has formed equity joint
ventures with 12 telecom systems dealers across the UK.  Under these
arrangements, 365 contributes its expertise and access to its customer service
and billing infrastructure, while the dealer contributes local sales and
marketing expertise.  The existing customer base of the joint venture partners
provides the initial target for 365's marketing efforts.

On 29 February 2000, 365 acquired the entire issued capital of Fenfones
Communications Limited, an established telephone systems supplier located in
Newmarket serving the SME market.  Total consideration paid was £4,520,000.
On the same day, 365 acquired the 50% shareholding in Datacom Networks Limited
(a joint venture) owned by Fenfones for £500,000.

The formation of equity joint ventures with telecom system dealers, and
acquisition of Fenfones, underlines 365's strategy of securing distribution
and long-term customer retention though partnership with, or ownership of, the
telephone system supply channel.  The telephone system represents the key
product around which value-added telecommunication and internet services can
be developed and sold to SME customers.
