FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

On Command to be acquired
By Liberty Media Corporation

Denver, Colorado—September 9, 2003—On Command Corporation (OTCBB: ONCO), a leading provider of in-room interactive services, business information and guest services for the lodging industry, announced today that it has entered into a definitive merger agreement with its indirect parent corporation, Liberty Media Corporation (NYSE: L and LMC.B), through which Liberty Media would acquire the approximately 26% of the issued and outstanding shares of On Command common stock not already owned by Liberty Media and its affiliates.

        If the merger is consummated as planned, each issued and outstanding share of On Command common stock not owned by Liberty Media or its subsidiaries would be converted into the right to receive 0.166 of a share of Liberty Media Series A common stock, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. Shares as to which appraisal rights under Delaware law have been validly exercised will not be converted into Liberty Media shares in the merger. If the implied value of the exchange ratio is less than $1.90 or more than $2.10 per share of On Command common stock, based on the average market price of the Liberty Media Series A common stock during the five trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the closing of the merger, then the exchange ratio will be adjusted upward or downward, as applicable, to yield an implied value of $1.90 or $2.10 per share, respectively, based on such average market price. Any adjustment of the exchange ratio to more than 0.190 of a share of Liberty Media Series A common stock for each share of On Command common stock will be at Liberty Media's sole discretion. If Liberty Media determines not to increase the exchange ratio further, then the exchange ratio would be fixed at 0.190 and On Command would be entitled to terminate the merger agreement. Any decision of the On Command board of directors to terminate the merger agreement would be made by vote of the independent directors.

        The transaction was negotiated and approved by a committee of the Board of Directors of On Command composed solely of independent directors. Credit Suisse First Boston served as financial advisor to the committee of independent directors. Consummation of the merger is subject to the approval of the merger agreement by the shareholders of On Command and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions. The transaction would be taxable to On Command shareholders.
