Delphi Internet services former CEO reacquires service from News
Corporation

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--April 30, 1996--Dan Bruns, former Chief Executive Officer
of Delphi Internet Services, today led a team of on-line executives in the
purchase of the pioneering on-line service back from the News
Corporation.

"I'm thrilled to be back with Delphi," says Bruns. "In the two years since
I parted with the company, I've talked on-line and in person with many
Delphi members, and their enthusiasm and loyalty for the service remains
high. I'm committed to ensuring that Delphi continues to offer a friendly
and exciting on-line experience."

"The company is profitable, and I intend to keep it that way," remarks
Bruns. "The top management team includes a number of on-line industry
veterans, and I will be announcing their appointments shortly."

The entrepreneurial Bruns is a leader in the on-line industry as a Board
member of the Interactive Services Association and as a co-founder and CEO
of Knowledge Factory Partners. Knowledge Factory's service, Business
Factory (http://www.businessfactory.com) is a World Wide Web site
delivering localized and personalized business news to executives at
smaller and midsized companies.

The Delphi service began fifteen years ago as the world's first on-line
encyclopedia. In ensuing years, Delphi evolved into a meeting-place of
hundreds of on-line communities where people of like interests meet and
interact. In 1992 Delphi acquired BIX, the on-line service for technical
professionals, from McGraw-Hill. In the same year Delphi became the first
major on-line service to offer full Internet access. News Corporation
purchased the company in 1993.

Delphi has prospered through its cultivation of on-line forums serving a
wide diversity of topics and interests. Delphi is unique in offering its
members the ability to create their own "custom forums," where members can
host a discussion about any topic. Popular custom forum topics include the
hit Fox show X-Files, the legendary singer/songwriter/author Jimmy
Buffett, and the world of trivia.

Delphi also provides its own forums about popular topics, including the
Internet Special Interest Group, where members can learn about navigating
through the Internet with Walt Howe, an Internet expert and author of
Internet Basics, a pioneering book about the hows and whys of the
Internet.

"There's a great deal of enthusiasm among the membership about the return
of Bruns and his team to Delphi," says Howe. "There are plenty of Delphi
members hoping they never have to try another service, and so this is
terrific news for them."

The service will continue operating from its current Cambridge,
Massachusetts offices, and can be reached at (800) 695-4005 for
information about subscribing. Information is also available at Delphi's
Web site: http://www.delphi.com.
