                           CTN MEDIA GROUP TO SELL ITS
                      COLLEGE TELEVISION NETWORK TO VIACOM

ATLANTA, GA - September 20, 2002 - CTN Media Group, Inc. ("CTN" or the
"Company") (NASDAQ BB: UCTN) today announced that it has entered into a
definitive asset purchase agreement to sell the College Television Network to
MTV Networks, a division of Viacom Inc. (NYSE: VIA, VIA.B) for $15 million in
cash, subject to certain adjustments. Under the transaction, Viacom will provide
the Company with a prepayment of a portion of the purchase price to fund working
capital of the Company up to the closing, which is expected in the fourth
quarter of 2002.

The closing of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
Contemporaneously with the execution of the asset purchase agreement, U-C
Holdings, LLC ("Holdings") and Willis Stein & Partners, L.P., its managing
member, entered into a voting agreement with Viacom which provides, among other
things, that Holdings will vote in favor of the transactions contemplated by the
asset purchase agreement. CTN will send an information statement relating to the
sale to all of its stockholders. The sale is expected to be completed 20 days
after mailing of the information statement.

CTN intends to use the proceeds of the sale to Viacom to repay its secured
indebtedness of approximately $11.5 million to LaSalle Bank and Holdings. The
balance of the proceeds from the sale and proceeds from the collection of
accounts receivable and other remaining assets will be used to pay unsecured
creditors. The Company's common stockholders will not receive proceeds from this
transaction. The College Television Network is CTN's sole remaining business.

Tom Rocco, President of CTN Media Group, Inc., said, "With this acquisition,
College Television Network will now gain the incredible resources MTV can
provide to achieve its true potential as the premier network service,
specifically created for the college market. We've worked hard over the past 8
years to build CTN, and now we have the perfect opportunity to make it a truly
viable media outlet."
