New York, NY, April 10, 2002: Fox Entertainment Group today filed a
universal shelf registration statement with the Securities and

the type of securities it could choose to sell, including Class

to buy be accepted prior to the time the registration statement
becomes effective. This press release shall not constitute an offer
to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy nor shall there be any
sale of these securities in any state in which such offer, solicitation
or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under
the securities laws of any such state.
