Basketball Fans: Win a Trip to the Big Dance Courtesy of Cincinnati Bell
Play ZoomTown Hoops Challenge Online to Win Prizes Including HDTV or Trip

CINCINNATI - March 14, 2008 - Cincinnati Bell (NYSE: CBB) is hosting the ZoomTown Hoops Challenge, giving college basketball fans a chance to win prizes simply by filling out their 2008 Men's Championship Game bracket. To enter, log on to www.cincinnatibell.com/hoops and register your bracket selections. The entry with the best bracket will win a 42" 740i LCD HDTV. In addition, two entries will be selected at random to win a trip for two to the Men's Championship Game in San Antonio, Texas on April 7, 2008.

"This is an exciting way for Cincinnati Bell and the Cincinnati and Dayton communities to have some fun while cheering on our local teams," said Lisa Sammons, director of advertising for Cincinnati Bell. "Anyone who enjoys filling out a bracket probably has a story about their neighbor's co-worker's child who beat everyone by picking teams based on mascots. The ZoomTown Hoops Challenge provides an opportunity to reward the individual that is the most savvy when it comes to bracket selection. At the same time it gives everyone, regardless of their skill in picking the winners, a chance to win."

Interested participants should go to www.cincinnatibell.com/hoops and register their men's basketball bracket selections between March 16 and March 20. Anyone registering their selections is automatically entered in the random drawing for a Cincinnati Bell Sports Fan Experience Package, which includes airfare, hotel accommodations with daily full breakfast, two tickets to the Men's Championship game, Hoop City admission tickets, Guardians of the Game Awards Ceremony tickets and commemorative gifts.

Official game rules are available at www.cincinnatibell.com/hoops. This promotion is open only to legal residents of Ohio, Indiana or Kentucky who are 18 years of age or older as of the date of entry. The winner of the Cincinnati Bell Sports Fan Experience Package will be randomly selected on March 21, 2008 and the winner of the ZoomTown Hoops Challenge will be recognized following the Men's Championship Game on April 7, 2008.
