VIASAT COURTAPPLICATON ACHIEVES DESIRED RESULTS Modern Times Group MTG AB, the international media group, today announced that its application to the Swedish Market Court for a court injunction to prohibit Canal Digital from mentioning Viasat's TV3, ZTV and TV8 entertainment channels in its marketing material has had the desired result. Canal Digital has notified the Market Court that it has changed its marketing accordingly and has assured the Court that the Viasat Channels will not be used in future marketing campaigns or materials. No injunction is therefore required at this time. The Viasat channels therefore continue to be available only to subscribers on the Viasat DTH satellite platform, the Boxer digital terrestrial network in Sweden and cable networks with which Viasat has agreements.
