UTV MEDIA : Interim Management Statement

                 UTV Media plc - Interim Management Statement

This Interim Management Statement covers the period from the beginning of the
Group's current financial year, 1 January 2014 to the date of this announcement
and incorporates the Group's nine month trading period ended 30 September 2014.

9 months to end September        2014            2013          % Change

                                  £m              £m

Group Revenue                   84,711          77,447            9%

Radio GB                        42,070          36,668            15%

Radio Ireland                   14,750          14,489            2%

Television                      27,891          26,290            6%

In the first nine months of 2014, the more positive economic conditions in both
the UK and Ireland helped to generate Group revenue growth of 9%, with the
stimulus of the 2014 FIFA World Cup offsetting adverse currency movements. This
strong revenue growth enabled us to reduce net debt by £3.2m to £45.9m,
providing a sound foundation for funding the pre-start-up costs of our new
television station, UTV Ireland.

Radio GB

Radio GB revenues grew by 15% in the nine months to September. The World Cup
helped to lift talkSPORT's revenue by 23%, outperforming a national market
which was up by 8%. Revenues from our local radio stations increased by 2%
compared to a market growth of 3%.

In Q4 we anticipate Radio GB revenues will increase by 7%, with talkSPORT up by
11% and local radio station revenues growing by 2%.

Radio Ireland

Radio Ireland revenues grew by 6% in the nine months to September on a constant
currency basis, 2% including sterling/euro foreign exchange movement. This
again represents an outperformance of the Irish commercial radio market which
was estimated to be up by around 2% (in local currency) in the same period.

In Q4 we anticipate Radio Ireland revenues will decrease by 1% on a constant
currency basis, with the impact of the strength of sterling converting this
into a decline of 7%.

Television

Television revenues grew by 6% in the nine months to September. Excluding Tibus
and Simply Zesty, which grew by a combined 16%, our core Television business
grew by 5%. Within this our London NAR (Net Advertising Revenue) increased by
6% and our Irish offices NAR grew by 4%.

In Q4 we anticipate Television revenues will increase by 4%, with core
Television growing by 2% (London NAR up 2% and Irish offices NAR up 1%) and the
combination of Tibus and Simply Zesty growing by 31%.

Outlook

Group revenue growth has eased in Q4 to 3%, with a further strengthening in
sterling, a tougher 2013 comparator and a reduction in Government television
advertising in Northern Ireland combining to temper growth in this quarter.
Continuing uncertainty around budgetary constraints in the Northern Ireland
Assembly will provide some headwind in television advertising in the early part
of 2015.

Our main focus of activity continues to be the strategically important launch
of our new television channel, UTV Ireland, in January 2015. Plans are well
advanced on transmission and distribution infrastructure, key staff have been
appointed, programmes commissioned and the Dublin studio is now ready.

The next scheduled announcement of financial information by UTV Media plc will
be the release of our Preliminary Announcement (to 31 December 2014) which is
provisionally scheduled for 18 March 2015.
