Steve

British Sky Broadcasting (Sky) announced today a number of senior management
appointments.

Mike Darcey, Sky's Group Commercial and Strategy Director, becomes Chief
Operating Officer. Mr Darcey has made important contributions to the company's
growth and strategic development and with this new and expanded role will
continue to support the business on a broad basis.

Brian Sullivan, Sky's Director of Product Strategy and Management, is appointed
to the position of Managing Director, Customer Group with responsibility for
leading the company's marketing, product development and customer service
teams. Mr Sullivan, who has been instrumental in Sky's multi-product strategy
through the successful launch of Sky+, multiroom, Sky HD and Sky Broadband,
takes up the role following the announcement that Jon Florsheim, Sky's Chief
Marketing Officer and Managing Director, Customer Group, is to leave the company
after 12 years to become Chief Executive of Homeserve GB and an Executive
Director of Homeserve plc.

Matthew Anderson, Sky's Group Director for Communications, assumes the new role
of Group Director for Communications and Brand Marketing, taking on
responsibility for brand marketing in addition to leadership of the company's
publicity, corporate communications, public affairs, internal communications and
corporate responsibility activities. By bringing together all of these
functions, Sky aims to ensure a strongly integrated approach to brand
communications across all audiences.

Didier Lebrat is to join Sky in December 2006 in the newly-created role of Chief
Technology Officer from Vodafone Italy, where he currently holds the same
title. The creation of the new role brings together the leadership of Sky's
Information Technology, Customer Technology, Network Infrastructure and
Broadcast Platform teams. In providing single leadership, Sky aims to ensure
that its technology operations are closely aligned with its changing needs as it
grows its pay-TV business and expands into the broadband and telephony markets.
