      TEN ALPS: TV Programme of the Year award and launch of Ten Alps Live

TV group Ten Alps Plc ('Ten Alps') announces award of the Royal Television
Society Programme of the Year, and the launch of its events and live TV
businesses in a single new operation, Ten Alps Live.

RTS Programme of the Year

The series Israel and the Arabs: Elusive Peace won the Programme of the Year
award at the Royal Television Society Journalism Awards this week.

The series was produced for BBC2 and other international broadcasters by a team
led by Norma Percy, Mark Anderson and Dan Edge at Brook Lapping, a company owned
by Ten Alps.

The Royal Television Society jury citation said: "This winning series shone new
light on one of the most-reported stories of recent decades with exemplary
research and extraordinary access to the key players from all sides."

In Elusive Peace, Presidents and Prime Ministers, their generals and ministers -
and those behind the suicide bombs and assassinations - tell what happened
behind closed doors as the peace talks failed and the intifada exploded. The
series contains the only TV interview in which Ariel Sharon looks back on his
time as Prime Minister.

Brian Walden, Ten Alps Chairman said: "To win the most prestigious award in
television journalism is yet more recognition of the programme quality Brian
Lapping has created at Brook Lapping, and the value of our focus on factual
television."

Launch of Ten Alps Live

Ten Alps has today launched Ten Alps Live, bringing together its events and live
TV coverage operations in a single unit.

Ten Alps Live's political team kicks off this weekend (Feb24th) with TV coverage
of the Scottish Labour conference in Aviemore for BBC Scotland to be followed by
the other 3 party conferences.  Ten Alps is the only independent TV company to
have been awarded this commission - now in its third year.

Ten Alps Live includes teams behind live TV broadcasts of political party
conferences, the Foreign Office's award-winning World Expo pavilion in Japan,
music events producers behind last summer's Clapham Common Festival and
designers behind the images projected onto Buckingham Palace.  All are now based
in the Ten Alps plc head office in  Bermondsey, London

"Events and TV shows have become one and the same - and this revolution
definitely IS being televised," said Ten Alps non-executive director Bob Geldof.

"Across the TV world, live shows from Live8 to the X Factor make maximum impact
because the audience join the action.  Advertisers covet the Champions League
adbreak because no one can fast forward into the future on Sky +.  The phone
voting on I'm A Celebrity goes into orbit because the drama's happening there
and then on screen.  And all this is why we've united our own resources to make
the most of the live market."

Ten Alps Live events team last year produced the Foreign Office's UK Pavilion at
the International Expo in Japan.   The Pavilion was attended by over 3 million
people and was the first UK entry to win one of the prestigious Organisers'
Awards.

Ten Alps Live's music events team last year produced the Metro Weekender for
40,000 people and Weekender at Dave's.  Led by former Radio 1 dance music and
events producer Matt Priest the team this year has a slate of productions coming
up including another Metro Weekender, the launch of London's Roundhouse and the
re-branding event for Trouble TV, for Flextech.

Other past hits from the Ten Alps Live team have included the Millennium
Celebrations in central London and the production of the National Holocaust
Memorial Day screened live on BBC 2.  The company also has a number  of
corporate clients ranging from BP to EMI and Corus, for whom it provides a
variety  of live productions.   For the past six years Ten Alps have produced
all of NCR's corporate communications in North America.

"Professional events management is now the must-have ingredient in any TV
production company, as scale, media impact, logistics and health and safety all
weigh into the equation for great live shows, whether factual or entertainment,"
said Tim Spencer, MD of Ten Alps' Live.

"Technology has freed TV from the studio, so it has also freed events from being
confined to one location.  The future is about television and internet that you
can watch and experience anywhere - live," said Jo Phillips, Executive Producer
of Ten Alps' live political programmes.

Under the corporate reorganisation, Know Comment has merged its operations into
Ten Alps Events Limited which has been re-branded as Ten Alps Live Limited.
