       fiveyears ago --

    TORONTO, Aug. 31 2004 -- 
Launched September 1, 1999, Report on Business
Television celebrates five years as Canada's leading source of breaking
business and financial news. With more than 4.5 million Canadian homes
subscribing to the service, Report on Business Television has established
itself as an essential service to retail investors as well as the Canadian
investment and financial communities.

    In its first months on air, Report on Business Television attracted
immediate attention covering the Tech Bubble -- the biggest investment boom in
the last 25 years. In the five years that followed, its editorial team of more
than 50 reporters, writers, producers and anchors has provided the most
comprehensive, up-to-the-minute coverage of business news available on
Canadian television.

    "We estimate we've done more than 30,000 interviews in the last five
years," said Jack Fleischmann, General Manager, Report on Business Television.
"Our guests have included the biggest names in business and finance, from
press barons and banking CEOs to budding biotech entrepreneurs. We've tracked
the markets' ups and downs, reported on Enron's collapse, Martha Stewart's
trial, Air Canada's bankruptcy saga and Conrad Black's famous retreat. It's
been exciting to watch and important to cover; and we couldn't have a better
editorial team to bring Canadian investors all the action."

    Report on Business Television is marking its 5th anniversary by launching
an eight-week radio campaign supported by outdoor advertising in the Greater
Toronto Area beginning September 6, 2004. The focus of the campaign, called
Powerful Tools, will reinforce the Report on Business Television brand as
providing essential business and investment information.

    Report on Business Television broadcasts live throughout the business
day, covering financial markets in North America and around the world. It
maintains bureaus in Calgary, New York and London and its reporters offer
in-depth coverage of events that make or break financial markets. Report on
Business Television's anchors regularly interview the nation's leading CEOs on
their companies' performance while industry experts provide investment
analysis and viewers participate in call-in programs throughout the day to
learn about new investment opportunities.

    Report on Business Television is Canada's only business and financial
news network and is available in 4.5 million Canadian homes(*). Its editorial
team features an impressive group of business journalists, entrepreneurs and
financial professionals that deliver up-to-the-minute business news,
commentary and interviews with leading business newsmakers. Report on Business
Television is also the only Canadian network offering real-time stock quotes,
as well as updated currency and commodity prices from around the world. When
the business day is done, Report on Business Television's prime-time coverage
includes comprehensive news, interview programs and phone-in shows dedicated
to retail investors. Available throughout Canada on cable, satellite and
wireless systems, Report on Business Television is wholly owned by CTV Inc.,
a division of Bell Globemedia, which also owns The Globe and Mail.
