MTG: TV3 & TVNORGE TO BE AVAILABLE ON BOTH VIASAT AND CANAL DIGITAL SATELLITE
PLATFORMS

Modern Times Group MTG AB (publ.) (‘MTG' or ‘the Group'), the international
entertainment broadcasting group, today announced that Viasat Broadcasting has
signed an agreement with Canal Digital in Norway to include the TVNorge channel
on Viasat's DTH satellite platform, and for TV3 to be made available on the
Canal Digital satellite platform. The channels will be included in Viasat's and
Canal Digital's pay-TV offerings from 3 March 2008.

Viasat will include TVNorge in its ‘Entertainment' package, which is available
as part of its satellite offering in Norway. TV3 will be available as part of
Canal Digital's ‘Norway' package. 

On 6 February, Viasat's secondary Norwegian channel Viasat4 was included in the
Canal Digital DTH satellite offering and SBS-ProSiebenSat.1 owned channel FEM
was added to the Viasat DTH satellite platform. On 5 February, MTG announced
that it had signed an agreement with Canal Digital to exchange TV3 and Kanal 5
in Sweden on the DTH satellite and IPTV platforms. 

Hans-Holger Albrecht, President and CEO of MTG, commented: “Today's announcement
is a major event in the television history of not only Norway but the whole of
Scandinavia. In October last year we took the first major step towards the final
discontinuation of exclusive distribution of the major commercial TV channels in
Scandinavia. Yesterday's agreement with TV 2 and today's agreement with Canal
Digital in Norway signifies the end of that journey.”

“We now have a complete basic tier in our Norwegian DTH satellite offering, and
have ensured that our TV3 and Viasat4 channels in Norway are distributed as
widely as possible, to as many viewers as possible.”
