  MICHAEL I. WELLESLEY-WESLEY NAMED EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN;
  ROGER HENDERSON PROMOTED TO PRESIDENT AND CEO

  MELVILLE, NY, June 10 -- Chyron Corporation (NYSE: CHY), a leading innovator
  in the development of television graphics and distribution systems, today
  named Michael I. Wellesley-Wesley its Executive Chairman and Roger Henderson
  its President and Chief Executive Officer, effective immediately.

  Wellesley-Wesley had been a Director and non-executive Chairman of Chyron
  since June 1997 and had served as Chairman and CEO from June 1995 to June
  1997.  Henderson, also a Director, was a Chyron Executive Vice President and
  Managing Director of Chyron's U.K.-based subsidiary Pro-Bel.

  Henderson replaces Edward Grebow, who had served as President and CEO since
  joining the company in June 1997.  Grebow will leave Chyron on June 30 and
  join Sony Electronics Inc., Park Ridge, NJ, as President of its Broadcast
  and Professional Company.

  "I am pleased to announce Roger Henderson's promotion to CEO," said
  Wellesley-Wesley.  "His successful tenure as Managing Director of Pro-Bel,
  his extensive international experience, as well as his software background
  and technical expertise make him ideally suited to lead Chyron into the next
  millennium. He is also uniquely qualified to implement Chyron's global
  digital strategy and its Internet broadcast and digital video initiatives.
  Chyron, under our direction, will continue to actively seek out appropriate
  joint ventures and alliances, as well as acquisition opportunities, which
  in a convergence marketplace will strengthen Chyron's ability to deliver
  digital solutions to our global customers.

  "Ed Grebow has shepherded Chyron through an important transition phase in
  the company's development and we all wish him well at Sony."

  Grebow said he leaves Chyron "with great optimism for its future. The
  company is well-positioned to continue its leadership in television
  technology as broadcasters convert to digital. Chyron has developed a number
  of innovative and successful new digital and HDTV products and built a
  strong demand for Pro-Bel products in the U.S."

  Henderson said, "The catalytic effect of digital television on the
  convergence of communication technologies and the new opportunities it
  presents make this one of the most exciting times to be involved in our
  industry. I look forward to accepting the challenges in running Chyron and
  enhancing shareholder value."

  Henderson was appointed Managing Director of the Pro-Bel Group in 1996. He
  joined Pro-Bel in 1983 as a Senior Software Engineer, and was appointed
  Software Director and a member of the Pro-Bel Board in 1987.  In 1992,
  Henderson founded the Pro-Bel subsidiary, Procion ICS Limited. He became
  Managing Director of Pro-Bel Software Limited in January 1995.   Henderson
