   Ten Alps Communications PLC: Interim Results date; New TV Commissions


Media group Ten Alps Communications PLC ('Ten Alps') announces that its Interim
Results for the six-month financial period ending September 30, 2004 will be
issued on Friday 26 November 2004.


Ten Alps also announces an update on its Ten Alps TV and Radio businesses and
states that these businesses have shown significant recent trading progress
likely to be reflected in the results for the second half of the year to March
2005 and beyond. Those new commissions achieved since the Annual Report of July
2004 are stated below.

Ten Alps TV (factual entertainment) has sold an option for entertainment formats
in the US market to Fremantle Media (producer of American Idol).  The first Ten
Alps-created format under option is Celebrity Court.  A contract is also signed
with BBC1 for a new commission of a second series of Jeremy Vine Meets... due 
for early 2005.

3BM Television has won commissions for Five:The Boy With a Tumour for a Face,
The Death of Grace Kelly and Greatest Moments in Living History, presented by
Michael Buerk. After the success of Zero Hour, transmitted last month on
Discovery, Discovery Europe has confirmed development of a Zero Hour 2, with two
extra episodes this series. 3BM, a history programme specialist, was acquired by
Ten Alps in February 2004.

Teachers' TV is now in full production and will launch in early 2005. (As
announced in July, Ten Alps owns 70% of the consortium managing this Department
for Education and Skills channel.) For the first term, the channel will
broadcast 76 hours of original and 66 hours of acquired programmes. Eleven
production companies have been contracted for the first term. Amongst them, Ten
Alps-owned Brook Lapping Productions has signed to produce 30 hours overall in
its first year. The Teachers TV website is being constructed and designed at a
cost of £1m and the marketing plan will launch in the new year, also with a
budget of £1m.


Blakeway Productions (documentary/factual), which has three existing series in
production, is also now starting on a special project commissioned by a major
international bank in an ambitious project to bring sight to a million blind
people. Blakeway was acquired in May 2004. Meanwhile, Ten Alps Radio has secured
new commissions from BBC Radio 2 for Christmas specials: Rock the Vote, about
musicians and the US election and The Arthur Smith Lectures.
