ESPN360.com to Offer Exclusive Olympic, Lifestyle Sports Coverage

LOS ANGELES, October 2: ESPN has reached an agreement with
World Championship Sports Network (WCSN) to bring exclusive, live Olympic and
lifestyle sports event coverage to ESPN360.com, its recently relaunched live
sports broadband network.

Under the deal, WCSN will be a featured channel on
ESPN360.com, providing exclusive live and on-demand coverage of swimming,
gymnastics and track and field as U.S. and international athletes prepare for
the Beijing Olympic Games.

Additionally, ESPN.com will feature highlights and the two
sites will collaborate to share sports news and information content across
WCSN.com and ESPN.com's Olympic Sports section.

ESPN360.com delivers more than 2,000 live, global sports
events a year. The service is available at no additional charge to fans who
receive their high-speed Internet connection from an affiliated service
provider. The portal gives consumers control over up to 10 simultaneous live
events, with fans able to view the event of their choice in a main viewing
window, while other events continue to play in smaller, live-action thumbnails.

"This agreement is a showcase of how the new digital
age of sports can deliver an enormous selection of sports for fans," said
John Zehr, the senior VP of ESPN Digital Media Production. "WCSN
programming will add yet another new dimension to ESPN360.com's global
programming lineup and deliver additional value to fans and affiliates."
