           Eicom announces second Performance Channel Licence granted

Eicom plc ("Eicom" or "the Company") announces that it has been granted a
licence to launch a second Performance Channel, provisionally named Performance
Mainstreet, by the UK TV and telecoms regulator, Ofcom. The digital satellite
provider, BSkyB, has also confirmed that the channel has been added to the Sky
Channels launch list.

The new channel will focus on showing some of the world's leading rock and jazz
performances, alongside documentaries and performer profiles. The existing
Performance Channel is the UK's longest established arts, music and
entertainment digital TV channel and transmits a schedule of classical music
performances, opera, ballet and dance, as well as rock and pop concerts and
interviews with "A List" actors and directors.

Eicom Chief Executive, Steve Timmins, commented:

"It is clear from our viewer statistics that we have two distinct audiences for
Performance Channel - lovers of classical music and fans of major rock and pop
acts. The proposed launch of a second Performance channel will mean that we can
more accurately target each of these audiences and thus maximise our advertising
revenues."
