                 CINCINNATI BELL INC. AMENDS AGREEMENT WITH CEO

CINCINNATI - June 23, 2003 -- Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE: CBB) today announced
that it has amended the employment agreement between the Company and its chief
executive officer, Kevin Mooney.

On February 3, 2003, the Company amended the employment contracts of CEO, Kevin
Mooney, and three other senior executives to establish incentives for their
retention through the period of the Company's restructuring, particularly the
sale of the broadband business of Broadwing Communications Inc. and amendment of
the Company's credit facilities.

A provision of Mr. Mooney's agreement provided for a 7-day period, commencing
with the closing of the sale of the broadband business, under which he could
elect to terminate his employment agreement.

With the closing of the sale of the broadband business effective June 13, 2003,
the Company and Mr. Mooney have agreed to extend the termination provision of
his contract until August 31, 2003.

With the majority of the elements of the Company's restructuring successfully
completed, the Board of Directors will turn its attention to the corporate
structure and management necessary to operate the company going forward.
