Sky Expands Online TV Service With 6 More Live Channels

LONDON, March 6/PRNewswire/ -- Sky has expanded its online TV offering with the addition of six new live
TV channels, including two Sky Movies' channels.

Sky has added Sky Movies Screen 1 and 2, Nat Geo Wild, Eden, G.O.L.D. and
Sky Real Lives to its internet based subscription service - Sky Player TV
(http://sky.com/skyplayer) - which is available without the need to
subscribe to Sky's existing TV-based service.

The launch of these new live TV channels (http://sky.com/skyplayer )
bolster the existing Sky Player TV subscription service, which from GBP15 a
month, already offers Sky Sports, Sky News, and other leading brands such as
National Geographic, Disney Channel, British Eurosport and MTV ONE.

The addition of Sky Movies Screen 1 and 2, means Sky now offers premium
online movies' subscriptions that comprise both live channels and on demand
access to hundreds of film titles.

The launch of Nat Geo Wild, Eden, G.O.L.D. and Sky Real Lives increases
the channel roster within the entertainment pack to 12, and with further
names set to launch in the coming weeks, strengthens Sky's position as the
natural destination for online viewing.

Basic and premium subscriptions are flexible with a minimum one-month
term, and viewers can access their chosen channels from Mac or PC, anywhere
in the UK.

Griff Parry, Sky's Director of On-demand, said: "At Sky,
viewers come first, whether they watch live or on-demand, via their TV or
online. The continued expansion of Sky Player puts choice and control over
what and how to watch, firmly in people's hands; whether they're already
familiar with Sky TV or just want to watch the content we offer online."

Existing Sky TV customers can watch the on-demand, online TV
(http://sky.com/skyplayer ) programmes that fall within their core TV
subscription at no extra cost. Existing TV customers with multi-room or Sky
Broadband Max can also watch the live channels they subscribe to at home,
online at no extra cost*.

Notes to editors:

* Sky Movies Screen 1 and 2 will not be available as live channels to
existing customers, as Sky Player already makes over 500 movie titles
available to Sky Movies subscribers to view at any time for free.
