4 February 2004



                   MARTIN STEWART TO LEAVE CFO POST AT BSKYB


British Sky Broadcasting Group plc ("BSkyB") announced today that Martin
Stewart, its Chief Financial Officer, will be leaving the Company to pursue
other interests. Mr Stewart joined BSkyB as Group Financial Controller in 1996
and became CFO in May 1998.

Mr Stewart will continue in his post until 4th August 2004, unless a new CFO is
appointed before that date, in which case Mr Stewart has agreed to assist in an
orderly transition to his successor. Mr Stewart will resign as a director of
BSkyB on the earlier of the 4th August 2004 and the appointment of his
successor.

Martin Stewart said "I have been privileged to work at Sky in a uniquely
fascinating phase of its development during which it has evolved from an
analogue product to the UK's leading digital platform with over seven million
customers. After eight years of service to BSkyB, it is now the right time for
me to pursue new opportunities."

James Murdoch, Chief Executive of BSkyB, said "Martin has played an enormous
role in the success of Sky and has been instrumental in the Company's transition
from analogue to digital. He will be leaving the Company in a superlative
position thanks in no small part to his contribution across the operations and
strategy of the Group. On behalf of the management and the Board, I wish him
every success in the future and thank him for his commitment and personal
contribution to the success of the business."
