Press Release                                                      18 June 2008


                   Ten Alps expands local authority online TV

Ten Alps Plc, the factual media company, continues its development of local
authority online TV through the expansion of Kent TV (www.kenttv.com).

Ten Alps is also in discussion with other local authorities - amongst the 217
for whom Ten Alps already produces media - for provision of similar local online
TV.


                                    Kent TV

Kent TV, the first fully local authority-funded broadband TV service, will next
week expand to 15 channels, and has moved to the Maidstone Studios media
complex.

The new channels will include:

  • A 'How To' information service, covering anything from finding a reliable
    car mechanic to how to appeal against school selection procedures;
  • A History channel which taps into the vast wealth of Kent's history - from
    St Augustine to the Battle of Britain
  • A Food channel which will focus on local produce, restaurants and farmers'
    markets
  • A What's On service for residents and tourists.

Kent TV was launched six months ago by long-time Kent resident and Ten Alps
co-founder Bob Geldof, following a Kent County Council tender process. It is
available on demand and relevant to all those who live, work, visit or study in
the county.

Since launching, it has featured major local news stories as well as features on
art, business, sport, history and the environment. Kent TV currently offers 700
films on a wide range of topics relating to the county, many commissioned from
local production companies or submitted by local film-makers and community
groups.


                       Ten Alps and local authority media

Ten Alps works with 70% of local authorities in England and Wales (or 217
clients) in print media.

Ten Alps is currently in discussions with some of these regarding local online
TV services, building on the experience of the Kent TV project.  There is also
significant opportunity to bid for other online video communications work in the
public sector.


Alex Connock, CEO of Ten Alps, said:

'Kent TV gives the local community a voice, just as mainstream broadcasters are
cutting local TV news. There is a demand for local and regional information that
is currently not being met, and online TV is one of the answers.

The issue of public engagement is a priority for government at all levels and we
believe Kent County Council has set the pace by pioneering a new medium with
excellent growth potential.'
