<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">MONTR&#201;AL, March&nbsp;4, 2013 &#150; BCE Inc. (Bell) today received Competition Bureau clearance for the
transaction that will join Astral Media with Bell Media. The transaction also requires approval by
the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The Competition Bureau&#146;s announcement is the result of an agreement under which Bell will sell a
number of Astral TV services. Bell Media will retain 8 Astral TV services: the French-language
Super&#201;cran, Cin&#233;Pop, Canal Vie, Canal D, VRAK TV, and Z T&#233;l&#233;, and English-language services The
Movie Network, which includes HBO Canada, and TMN Encore.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Major TV brands in Qu&#233;bec and across Canada, these high-quality pay and specialty TV services are
key to Bell Media&#146;s commitment to deliver the best content across multiple platforms in innovative
new ways. The retained channels, along with retained radio and Astral&#146;s out-of-home advertising
business, represent approximately 77% of Astral&#146;s EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;This positive news from the Competition Bureau is a major step forward in uniting Astral and Bell
Media and delivering on our promise to grow investment and competition in Canadian broadcasting,&#148;
said George Cope, President and CEO of BCE Inc. and Bell Canada. &#147;This decision preserves the
tremendous value the transaction represents to consumers, the Canadian media community, and Astral
and Bell shareholders.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">The divestitures respond to public interest concerns, including TV viewership share, identified by
the CRTC in its October&nbsp;18 decision rejecting Bell&#146;s original application seeking approval of the
Astral transaction. Bell&#146;s new application to the CRTC was filed on November&nbsp;19 and later amended
to reflect further divestitures. Overall, the divestitures will result in Bell Media having a
French-language viewing share of 23.0%, below competitor Qu&#233;becor&#146;s 30.5% share. In
English-language viewership, Bell Media will have a 35.7% share, 2.0% more than Bell Media&#146;s
current share.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">&#147;The commitment to broadcasting investment and innovation by Astral and Bell Media, and Corus&#146;s
further expansion into the Qu&#233;bec marketplace, underscores the growing competitiveness in the
Canadian broadcasting industry,&#148; said Kevin Crull, President of Bell Media. &#147;We now look forward to
demonstrating the many benefits of the transaction to the CRTC and all Canadians.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Under both the consent agreement with the Competition Bureau and the amended filing with the CRTC,
Bell has committed to sell the following TV assets:

in Ottawa &#150; CKQB-FM and CJOT-FM &#150; as part of Bell&#146;s radio divestitures required under the CRTC&#146;s
radio ownership policies. Valued at a total of $400.6&nbsp;million, the Corus transaction is also
subject to applicable regulatory approvals.

</TR>

</TABLE>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Consistent with the CRTC&#146;s policy on radio ownership, Bell is also divesting 10 English-language
radio stations: Astral FM stations CHHR and CKZZ (Vancouver), CFQX (Winnipeg) and CHBM (Toronto);
Bell Media FM stations CKCE (Calgary), CHIQ (Winnipeg) and CFXJ (Toronto); Astral AM station CISL
(Vancouver); and the two Astral FM stations in Ottawa that Corus has agreed to buy. An auction
process is now under way for the remaining 8 stations.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Astral and Bell heard the loud and clear desire of Montr&#233;al sports fans to retain TSN Radio 690 as
an English-language sports station (Bell had earlier proposed to convert the station to a
French-language RDS sports station to meet CRTC rules). Bell has filed a separate application with
the CRTC requesting an exception from application of the common ownership policy to allow the
continued operation of TSN Radio 690 by Bell Media as an English-language sports station.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 11pt">Originally announced in March&nbsp;2012, the $3.38-billion transaction to join Astral and Bell Media was
approved by shareholders representing more than 99% of Astral shares and the Qu&#233;bec Superior Court.
Due to the need for regulatory approvals, Astral and Bell on November&nbsp;19, 2012 extended the outside
date for closing the transaction to June&nbsp;1, 2013, with both Astral and Bell having the right to
postpone it further to July&nbsp;31, 2013.
