@ENTERTAINMENT PLANS SEPTEMBER 1998 DIGITAL TELEVISION LAUNCH IN POLAND,
   TERMINATES LETTER OF INTENT TO DEVELOP POLISH LAUNCH WITH CANAL+

     WARSAW (POLAND) June 1, 1998 -- @Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: ATEN) 
today announced that it has terminated its letter of intent with Telewizyna 
Korporacja Partycypacyjna ("TKP"), the parent company of Canal+Polska, to 
bring together @Entertainment's Wizja TV programming service and the CANAl+ 
Polska premium pay-television channel, and provide for the joint development 
and operation of a digital direct-to-home ("DTH") television service for the 
Polish market. The parties were unable to agree and execute definitive 
agreements for the joint venture by the deadline set forth in the letter of 
intent.

     "We are disappointed that the parties were not able to come to an 
agreement on all of the issues necessary to establish a joint venture between 
us," said Bob Fowler, Chief Executive Officer of @Entertainment. "Even 
though the letter of intent has been terminated, we have informed TKP that 
we remain available to discuss the remaining issues that separate us. We are 
resuming the launch process for Wizja TV and intend to launch the platform 
this week on our cable television systems and in September 1998 for the DTH 
market." The letter of intent had included a standstill agreement whereby 
@Entertainment had agreed, for a period ending May 31, 1998, not to launch its 
digital pay-television service in Poland.

     @Entertainment is the developer of both Wizja TV programming and digital 
DTH service. Through its Poland Communications, Inc. subsidiary, the Company 
owns and operates the largest cable television network in Poland with 847,634 
subscribers at April 30, 1998.

     The aforementioned remarks contain forward-looking statements that 
involve risks and uncertainties, including without limitation those related 
to variables concerning the establishment or termination of the proposed 
joint venture, and the timing of the launch for the Company's digital DTH 
service.
