Fox Entertainment Group And Fox Television Stations Agree To
Acquire WPWR-TV In Chicago Market

Deal Will Give News Corporation Duopolies In Nation's
Top Three TV Markets, Nine Duopolies In Top 20 Markets
___________________

NEW YORK, NY, June 27, 2002: Fox Entertainment Group
(NYSE: FOX) and Fox Television Stations today announced
they had agreed to acquire WPWR-TV, a UPN affiliate in
the Chicago television market, from Newsweb Corporation
for $425 million in cash.

The acquisition, which is subject to regulatory approval,
will significantly strengthen the Fox station group, giving
the group 35 stations and nine duopolies in major markets,
including the top three markets of New York, Los Angeles and
Chicago.  The acquisition is expected to close in the final
quarter of calendar 2002.

Fox already owns and operates WFLD-TV, a FOX network affiliate,
in the Chicago market. The station group currently operates
duopolies in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington, D.C.,
Houston, Minneapolis, Phoenix and Orlando.

Mr. Lachlan Murdoch, News Corporation's Deputy Chief Operating
Officer, said: "The acquisition of WPWR continues our strategy
of creating duopolies in major U.S. television markets.  We will
now have duopolies in the top three markets and in nine of the
top 20.  In those markets where we already operate two stations,
we've started to see the benefits of our duopoly strategy in the
form of increased profit margins, better-quality news and entertainment
for viewers and improved offerings to advertisers."

Mr. Mitchell Stern, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Fox
Television Stations, said: "This is an important acquisition for
the station group in one of the nation's biggest and most vibrant
television markets, particularly at a time when we are seeing a
distinct recovery in the advertising market.  Having a second
station in the Chicago market will provide our local and national
advertisers with an enormous audience and an array of advertising
choices."

Fox Entertainment Group, Inc., 85% owned by The News Corporation
Limited (NYSE: NWS, NWS.A), is principally engaged in the
development, production and worldwide distribution of feature
films and television programs, television broadcasting and cable
network programming. Fox had total assets as of March 31, 2002
of approximately US$24 billion and total annual revenues of
approximately US$10 billion. The Company's studios, production
facilities and film and television library provide high-quality
creative content, and the Company's broadcasting and cable networks
provide extensive distribution platforms for the Company's programs.
