Fox Soccer in Deal for MLS Rights

LOS ANGELES, July 31: Fox Soccer Channel has entered into a
five-year programming deal with Soccer United Marketing (SUM) that includes
live and exclusive English-language rights to a selection of Major League
Soccer (MLS), international friendly and U.S. Men and Women's National Team
matches through 2010.

The cornerstone of the new pact is the return of Fox Soccer
Channel's Saturday night MLS Game of the Week, which has aired on the channel
since 2003. Fox Soccer Channel will telecast 13 regular-season games and three
playoff games this season. Beginning in 2007, the network will carry a minimum
of 28 exclusive regular-season Saturday match-ups and a minimum of three
playoff games yearly through 2010. As part of the agreement, MLS matches will
also be aired on Fox Sports en Espanol, Fox Sports Latin America, Fox Sports
Middle East and Fox Sports Africa.

David Sternberg, the executive VP and general manager of Fox
Soccer Channel, noted, "With the growth of MLS, surging rates of
participation and record-setting audiences for the recently concluded 2006 FIFA
World Cup, interest in soccer in this country is at an all-time high, and this
landmark deal will solidify Fox Soccer Channel's status as the sport's
preeminent U.S. television provider. We will give our viewers the most
cutting-edge, in-depth and knowledgeable coverage of MLS and U.S. Soccer
matches that they have ever seen."

Fox Soccer Channel will also have the rights to three summer
international friendly matches organized by SUM each year, starting with next
month's FC Barcelona on Tour USA 2006. In addition, the channel has secured a
package of events from the U.S. Soccer Federation. Fox Soccer Channel will be
the exclusive television home of the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup final from 2006
to 2010, and in 2007 it will have exclusive English-language telecast rights to
two men's and two women's U.S. National Team matches each year.
