Anton Kudryashov, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Media,
commented: "The Russian TV advertising market has stabilized and is growing
again, which reflects the increasing demand from domestic and international
advertisers. Our 18% year-on-year reported advertising revenue growth in US
dollar terms in the first quarter reflects the efficient monetization of
substantially increased target audience shares for our CTC and Domashny
channels, with continued high power ratios, as well as favorable currency
exchange rate movements. We have also reported a 24% year-on-year increase in
our US dollar sublicensing and own production revenues, and our
CTC-international channel has made an encouraging start in the US market.

"As anticipated, we have increased our investments in the
programming schedules and network coverage of our DTV and Domashny channels,
in order to drive up their audience and market shares, but we have still
delivered an OIBDA margin of over 32% in the seasonally weak first quarter
period. We have used part of our cash flows to make the first of our intended
2010 dividend payments and to repay all of our outstanding debt. As before,
we are also increasing our capital expenditure levels to move our digital
play-out facility and headquarters to a single location in Moscow, to create
a back-up facility at our existing location, and to continue the ongoing
digitalization of our content library and upgrading of our broadcasting
equipment.

"Approximately 90% of our forecast full year 2010 Russian
national inventory has now already been booked under forward contracts and
the pricing environment is improving. We are also continuing to review all of
our options following the changes in Russian legislation regarding
advertising sales, and we see potential opportunities to increase sales
efficiency and transparency levels moving forward."

Operating Review
Revenues
Three Months
Ended March 31,
(US$ 000's) 2009 2010 Change
Operating revenues:
Advertising $ 99,075 $ 116,983 18%
Sublicensing and own production
revenue 4,875 6,042 24%
Other revenue 828 175 -79%
Total operating revenues $ 104,778 $ 123,200 18%

Total operating revenues were up 18% year-on-year in the first quarter in
US dollar terms, which reflected the strengthening of the Company's principal
operating currency (the Russian ruble) against its US dollar reporting
currency, as well as higher audience shares for the CTC and Domashny
channels. Total operating revenues were up 3% year-on-year in ruble terms.
Russian advertising sales accounted for just over 90% of the first quarter
total operating revenues and were up 4% year-on-year in ruble terms.

Three Months
Ended March 31,
(US$ 000's) 2009 2010 Change

Operating revenues by segment[4]:
CTC Network $ 70,555 $ 82,639 17%
Domashny Network 10,567 13,431 27%
DTV Network 8,667 9,885 14%
CTC Television Station Group 10,254 12,128 18%
Domashny Television Station Group 1,739 1,681 -3%
DTV Station Television Group 774 674 -13%
CIS Group 2,044 2,217 8%
Production Group 178 442 148%
CTC-international - 103
Total operating revenues $104,778 $123,200 18%

The CIS Group, which accounted for 1.9% of revenues in the
quarter, reported a 8% year-on-year increase in sales. This primarily
reflected higher advertising rates and sell-out levels for Channel 31 in
Kazakhstan, which were partially offset by a lower target audience share.

The Company's sublicensing and own production revenue
increased by 24% year-on-year in dollar terms to $6.0 million (Q1 2009: $4.8
million), primarily as a result of increased sales of content to broadcasters
in Ukraine. The CTC-international channel has also performed well since its
December 2009 launch, having signed up 18,000 subscribers and generated
$103,000 in revenues (included in sublicensing and own production revenue).

Share of Viewing in Target Demographics

Average Audience Shares (%)
Q1 2009 Q4 2009 Q1 2010

CTC Network (all 6-54) 11.4 12.7 12.6
Domashny Network (women 25-60) 2.6 2.9 3.0
DTV Network (all 25-54) 2.2 2.1 2.1
Channel 31 (all 6-54) 12.7 10.4 10.5

The flagship CTC Network's average target audience share was
up year-on-year from 11.4% to 12.6%, reflecting the strengthening of its
programming schedule. Major audience share drivers in the first quarter
included new episodes of 'Daddy's Girls', 'Margosha' and 'Voroniny' (an
adaptation of 'Everybody Loves Raymond'), supported by a strong line-up of
Hollywood blockbusters during weekday prime-time.

Domashny's target audience share was also up year-on-year in
the first quarter from 2.6% to 3.0%, making it the most watched second-tier
channel in Russia in its target demographic. The increase in audience share
reflected the launch of Russian female comedy sketch show 'One for All' and
the continued success of 'House M.D.', which were supported by a high-rating
lineup of movies and a variety of Russian programs and documentaries.

The DTV channel, which has been focused on the 25-54 year-old
target audience group since January 2009, reported a slightly lower audience
share year-on-year and a stable audience share quarter-on-quarter. This was
primarily due to strong competition from top-tier broadcasters (such as the
Rossiya 2 channel, which aired the Winter Olympics), the relative
underperformance of a number of DTV's Russian shows, and the postponed launch
of important premieres, which are expected to have a positive impact on DTV's
audience share moving forward.

Channel 31's target audience share was down year-on-year from
12.7% to 10.5% but slightly up quarter-on-quarter. The year-on-year decline
was primarily related to changes in the TNS measurement panel (driven, among
other things, by a growth in cable TV penetration), which negatively affected
all free-to-air channels in Kazakhstan, and the softer performance of Russian
language content, some of which has been dubbed into Kazakh following the
introduction of stricter local language programming requirements. Channel 31
was the third-most watched channel in Kazakhstan in the first quarter of 2010
in its target 'all 6-54' demographic.

Expenses

Three Months
Ended March 31,
(US$ 000's) 2009 2010 Change

Operating expenses:
Direct operating expenses $ 7,347 $ 12,473 70%
Selling, general &
administrative expenses 18,322 20,258 11%
Amortization of programming
rights 36,883 49,461 34%
Amortization of sublicensing 3,062 1,355 -56%
rights and own production cost
Depreciation & amortization 2,581 3,377 31%
Total operating expenses $ 68,195 $ 86,924 27%

Total operating expenses were up 27% year-on-year in the first quarter in
US dollar terms and up 12% in ruble terms, which primarily reflected the
year-on-year increase in programming amortization costs and direct operating
expenses.

Direct operating expenses were up 70% year-on-year in US dollar terms and
up 49% in ruble terms, largely as a result of an increase in network
affiliation expenses and transmission fees, as well as $2.5 million of
stock-based compensation expenses arising from the granting of options in
October and December 2009 under the Company's 2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and
the granting of equity-based incentive awards in the first quarter of 2010.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were up 11% year-on-year in
US dollar terms but down 3% year-on-year in ruble terms. The decrease in
local currency terms was primarily the result of decreases in advertising and
promotion expenses, caused by the rescheduling of advertising campaigns and
decreases in headcount, which were partially offset by annual increases in
salaries and benefits.

Stock-based compensation expenses allocated to direct operating and
selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $7.3 million in the
first quarter (Q1 2009: $4.3 million), of which $2.3 million related to stock
options granted at the end of 2009 according to the terms of the Company's
2009 Stock Incentive Plan, and $1.3 million related to equity-based incentive
awards.

Programming expenses were up 34% year-on-year in US dollar terms and up
18% in ruble terms. The year-on-year increase in programming costs in the
first quarter reflected additional investments in the Domashny and DTV
schedules, in-line with CTC Media's previously announced development strategy
for the smaller channels, as well as more expensive blockbuster movies aired
on CTC in February and March, which resulted in an 18% year-on-year increase
in the average quarterly audience share for the weekday 10:00pm movie slot.
An increase in the amortization of programming rights was also recorded by
the DTV Network, due to higher impairment charges caused by the moving some
underperforming Russian and international series to late night slots ($1.4
million). Total content impairment charges amounted to $3.1 million in the
first quarter of 2010 (Q1 2009: $1.5 million).

Sublicensing and own production costs were down 56% year-on-year in US
dollar terms and down 61% in ruble terms. This decline was primarily due to a
one-off expense incurred in the first quarter of 2009 in conjunction with the
production of a motion picture for theatrical release.

Consolidated OIBDA increased year-on-year to $39.7 million in the first
quarter (Q1 2009: $39.2 million), with an OIBDA margin of 32.2% (Q1 2009:
37.4%).

Net interest income was $0.7 million in the first quarter of
2010 compared to net interest expenses of $1.1 million in the same period of
2009, following the stepped repayment of the Company's US$135 million
syndicated loan facility during 2009 and in the first quarter of 2010. As of
March 31, 2010, the credit facility had been fully repaid.

Other non-operating income was $1.6 million in the first
quarter of 2010 (Q1 2009: net loss of $0.2 million), which primarily related
to the recognized gain on the sale of the Company's interest in a radio
station in Kazakhstan for total consideration of $2.0 million. The radio
station was previously part of the Channel 31 Group and its spin-off was
in-line with the focusing of the Kazakh business on its core television
assets.

Pre-tax income, therefore, increased by 23% year-on-year to
$38.4 million in the first quarter (Q1 2009: $31.3 million).

Net income attributable to CTC Media, Inc. stockholders
increased year-on-year to $25.2 million in the first quarter (Q1 2009: $23.3
million), and fully diluted earnings per share increased to $0.16 (Q1 2009:
$0.15).

Cash Flow

The Company's net cash flow from operating
activities totaled $5.1 million for the first quarter of 2010 (Q1 2009: $27.8
million) and reflected the effect of higher spending on programming and
sublicensing rights, which was partially offset by higher advertising sales
in the first quarter 2010. The increase in cash paid for programming rights
in the first quarter of 2010 was primarily due to advance payments for
programming that will be aired in 2010 and thereafter.

Cash used in investing activities totaled
$26.4 million (Q1 2009: $13.0 million) and included $12.8 million in earn-out
payments related to the acquisitions of Costafilm and Soho Media in 2008.

Cash used in financing activities amounted
to $38.4 million in the quarter (cash provided by financing activities in Q1
2009: $42 thousand) and included the payment of $10 million in cash dividends
to the Company's stockholders and the repayment of the remaining $28.3
million of borrowings from the Company's credit facility.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents and
short-term investments amounted to $76.2 million at March 31, 2010, compared
to $123.5 million at the end of 2009.

Borrowings

In March 2010, the Company repaid the
remaining $28.3 million balance on its $135 million syndicated loan facility.
The Company therefore had a net cash position of $76.2 million as at March
31, 2010, compared to a net cash position of $95.2 million at the end of
2009.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the
following non-GAAP financial measures: OIBDA (on a consolidated and segment
basis) and OIBDA margin. The presentation of this financial information is
not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or
superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see
the accompanying financial tables included at the end of this release.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its
performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be
indicative of its recurring core business operating results. These metrics
are used by management to further its understanding of the Company's
operating performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of
operations. The Company also believes that these metrics provide investors
and equity analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance
against historical data and the results of comparable companies.

OIBDA and OIBDA margin. OIBDA is defined as operating income
before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of
programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA
divided by total operating revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP
measures to OIBDA and OIBDA margin are operating income and operating income
margin, respectively. Unlike operating income, OIBDA excludes depreciation
and amortization, other than amortization of programming rights and
sublicensing rights. The purchase of programming rights is the Company's most
significant expenditure that enables it to generate revenues, and OIBDA
includes the impact of the amortization of these rights. Expenditures for
capital items such as property, plant and equipment have a materially less
significant impact on the Company's ability to generate revenues. For this
reason, the Company excludes the related depreciation expense for these items
from OIBDA. Moreover, a significant portion of the Company's intangible
assets were acquired in business acquisitions. The amortization of intangible
assets is therefore also excluded from OIBDA.

Caution Concerning Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements in this press release that are not based on
historical information are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of
the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking
statements include, among others, statements regarding developments in the
volume and pricing of television advertising in the Company's target markets;
the Company's anticipated advertising sellout in 2010; the further

Company's current expectations concerning future results and events. These
forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and
other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements
of CTC Media to be materially different from any future results, performance
or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

The potential risks and uncertainties that could cause actual
future results to differ from those expressed by forward-looking statements
include, among others, the implementation of recent Russian legislation that
will change the structure of the Russian television advertising sales market;
the Company's current reliance on a single television advertising sales house
for substantially all of its revenues; depreciation of the value of the
Russian ruble compared to the US dollar; changes in the size of the Russian
television advertising market; the Company's ability to deliver audience
share, particularly in primetime, to its advertisers; free-to-air television
remaining a significant advertising forum in Russia; and restrictions on
foreign involvement in the Russian television business. These and other risks
are described in the "Risk Factors" section of CTC Media's 2009 annual report
on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2010.

Other unknown or unpredictable factors could have material
adverse effects on CTC Media's future results, performance or achievements.

forward-looking events discussed herein may not occur. You are cautioned not
