Fox Television Stations Announces Station Swaps With Meredith
Corporation

Swaps Will Give Fox Television Stations Duopoly In Orlando;
Eight Duopolies In Major U.S. Markets
______________________

NEW YORK, NY, March 22, 2002: News Corporation and Fox Television
Stations, Inc. today announced that they have entered into an Asset
Exchange Agreement with Meredith Corporation under which Fox Television
Stations will exchange KPTV(TV) in Portland, Oregon for Meredith's
WOFL-TV in Orlando, Florida and WOGX-TV in Ocala, Florida. KPTV(TV)
is a UPN affiliate; WOFL(TV) and WOGX(TV) are both FOX affiliates.

With this transaction, News Corporation creates a duopoly in Orlando,
the nation's 20th largest U.S. television market.  Fox Television
Stations, which will own 34 stations on completion of this swap,
also has duopolies in New York, Los Angeles, Dallas, Washington,
D.C, Houston, Minneapolis and Phoenix. When completed, the swap with
Meredith will decrease Fox Television Station's national audience
reach under the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) formula.

News Corporation and Fox today filed with the FCC an application
for the transfer of the station licenses from Meredith to Fox.

The closing of the exchange under the Asset Exchange Agreement is
subject to the approval of the FCC, Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance
and certain customary closing conditions. The closing of the exchange
is anticipated to occur by the end of June 2002.
