BLAGMAN MEDIA CHAIRMAN ISSUES STATEMENT

     Los Angeles, CA -- May 3,2001 -- Robert Blagman, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer of Blagman Media International, Inc. (OTC: BMII.OB), has
issued the following statement concerning recent events and publicity
surrounding BMII

"The inaccurate information concerning BMII traveling through the Internet
message-boards is irresponsible, especially to those shareholders who are
dedicated to supporting a growing company. I would like to address the facts as
they are and comment on the future of BMII."

"We continue to aggressively pursue acquisition candidates," Blagman continued.
"While we and Mercury Media have concluded that the original stock acquisition
transaction is not advisable and is not being pursued in it's current state,
there are continuing discussions with Mercury concerning future business
transactions."

"I am also able to confirm that BMII continues to be in active discussions with
Century Media Inc. We hope to reach a definitive agreement aimed at a merger or
other transaction between the two entities as part of our goal of industry
consolidation."

"The primary rationale behind BMII's journey into the public market was to forge
a new avenue of direct to consumer advertising, addressing the challenging
advances of modern technology. While the public company environment and the
related shareholder generated publicity creates a challenge, BMII's core focus
is to succeed and complete it's vision for all shareholders. Our financial
forecast remains the same."

"BMII's core business continues to grow. During the past month BMII has signed
agreements with three additional national accounts. Although our year-end audit
showed a loss on the year, our core operations were profitable. All loses were
from one time legal and other costs and the required accounting and expense
treatment of the equity we issued. We move into 2001 much stronger then we did
one year ago."

Blagman concluded, "Although most companies do not reveal the realities of the
"darker side" of the public market place, over the past two years we have been
bombarded with promoters and ineffective financial groups. We have learned from
this experience and have the proper team positioned as we move ahead focusing on
our core businesses and primary goals."

Blagman Media International, Inc. is located at 1901 Avenue of the Stars, Suite
1710, Los Angeles, CA 90067. . Information regarding the above announcement is
available through the BMII info line: 310/991-2252. The foregoing press release
