SAN MATEO, Calif., April 7, 2005 - Liberate Technologies (Pink Sheets: LBRT) and Double C Technologies, LLC, a joint venture majority owned and controlled by Comcast Corporation (Nasdaq: CMCSA, CMCSK) with a minority investment by Cox Communications, Inc., today announced the completion of the previously announced purchase by Double C of substantially all of the North American assets of Liberate. Liberate received cash consideration of approximately $82 million.

Double C will continue the operation located in London, Ontario, Canada and is continuing employment for approximately 130 employees. Double C will build upon the software platform that was acquired to provide a flexible platform for adding new digital cable products and applications.

Double C will operate under the business name TVWorks.
