                        ("Pilat Media" or "the Company")

Pilat Media announces new contract wins in Europe and the Pacific

Pilat Media Global plc, the London-based AIM-listed supplier of business
management software to broadcasters around the world, today announces that
contracts have been signed to supply three new clients with its Integrated
Broadcast Management System (IBMS).

The three broadcasters - TV3 of New Zealand, FOXTEL of Australia and LA7 of
Italy - and the two other recently signed up clients  - Pro Plus of Slovenia
(part of the CME media group) and TV Cabo of Portugal - are expected to
contribute approximately #1.5 million in upfront licence and implementation fees
in the months ahead, along with additional recurring maintenance fees which will
follow after installation.

These clients represent the smaller size, but faster implementation projects
that Pilat Media has been undertaking alongside some other much larger and
longer projects with clients including Discovery International, Network Ten and
Playboy TV.  With these new clients, Pilat Media's clientele is now 27
broadcasters spread around the world, including free-to-air and Pay TV, analogue
and digital, large and small.

TV3 (part of the Canadian CanWest group) and FOXTEL (a News Corp company)
increase Pilat Media's presence in the Pacific region to eight clients. TV3 will
utilise the system to streamline and integrate its programme content,
advertising sales and traffic management operations.  FOXTEL is Australia's
leading subscription television provider, servicing around one million homes via
satellite and cable.  FOXTEL plans to use the IBMS system to handle the
forthcoming launch of their on-demand services.  LA7, the Rome-based national
terrestrial broadcaster owned by Telecom Italia, intends to utilise the content
management modules of IBMS, and the implementation is managed by Accenture.

Avi Engel, Chief Executive Officer of Pilat Media Global plc, said: "These
contract wins are significant for the Company as they increase our presence in
key markets.  We have now become a market leader in New Zealand and Australia.
IBMS is both comprehensive and flexible for meeting a wide spectrum of different
needs, for various broadcasters in many parts of the world"

Notes to editors:

Pilat Media's IBMS is a comprehensive software system for managing the business
of broadcasting.  IBMS integrates and streamlines broadcasters' programme
content, ad sales and traffic management operations to increase business
efficiency. IBMS enables broadcasters to lower operational costs, speed time to
market for new revenue streams, and centralise management of key processes. It
strengthens cross-departmental collaboration, improves client responsiveness and
enables more informed business decisions in real time, creating strategic
advantage and delivering a rapid return on investment.

Pilat Media is a four-year old, 95-strong UK software company, now an
independent public company following its successful demerger from Pilat
Technologies International and floatation on the Alternative Investment Market
of the London Stock Exchange early last year.

The IBMS system was originally developed and successfully implemented by Pilat
for BSkyB, to support their fast growing multi-channel programming needs. Pilat
Media was established in 1999 to further develop and market the system as a
generic product. IBMS's scope was subsequently more than doubled by adding the
adverting sales functionality in partnership with Network Ten. Since then Pilat
Media has rapidly established itself as a rising force in the market for
business management software for broadcasters. Today, Pilat Media's software
solutions have been selected by over 25 broadcasters around the world, most of
which are outside its UK base. They represent a wide spectrum of operational/
business models, organisational size and transmission technologies - digital and
analogue, on terrestrial, cable and satellite platforms.  Clients, in addition
to those mentioned above, include BSkyB (UK), five (UK), Fox Kids (Europe),
digital media centre (Europe), TVNZ (New Zealand), Network Ten (Australia), Sky
TechCo Partners (Latin America), Discovery Communications Inc. (International),
National Geographic Channels International (USA), and Playboy Enterprises, Inc
(USA).
