    SECOND QUARTER FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

    - Total revenues down 34% year-on-year in US dollar terms (down 10%
      year-on-year in ruble terms) to $113.9 million

    - Russian advertising revenues down 12% year-on-year in ruble terms

    - Total operating expenses down 32% year-on-year in US dollar terms (down
      7% year-on-year in ruble terms) to $70.1 million

    - OIBDA of $46.5 million with an OIBDA margin of 40.8%

    - Net income of $30.3 million, fully diluted earnings per share of $0.19

    - Net cash position of $35.0 million

    SECOND QUARTER OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

    - Average combined 4+ audience share in Russia up year-on-year to 13.4%
      from 12.6%

    - Target audience viewing shares up for all three Russian networks on a
      sequential and year-on-year basis

    - CTC was the most watched channel in Russia in prime time by 25-54 year
      olds with kids for the first time

    - CTC was the third most watched channel in Russia by 6-54 year olds for
      the first time since 2006



Anton Kudryashov, Chief Executive Officer of CTC Media,
commented: "Despite the fact that the ongoing weak economic environment
adversely impacted advertising spending in the second quarter, we have
continued to significantly outperform the market. Our Russian advertising
revenues, which account for over 90% of total revenues, were down 12%
year-on-year in ruble terms in the second quarter, compared to an estimated
21% decline in the overall Russian television advertising market according to
Video International. The year-on-year decline in the consolidated results
again reflected the substantial year-on-year weakening of the ruble and other
operating currencies against the US dollar reporting currency."

"Our outperformance of the market was driven by healthy
sell-out and power ratios, as well as rising target audience viewing shares
for our three complementary Russian networks. At the same time we managed to
substantially reduce our operating costs year-on-year and the measures that
we have taken in 2008 and into 2009 have enabled us to maintain an OIBDA
margin of over 40%. Furthermore, we remain in a net cash financial position."

"Despite the limited levels of forward visibility, we do
expect to continue to outperform the Russian television advertising market in
the second half of 2009. We also continue to expect organic costs to be flat
year-on-year in ruble terms for the full year, despite the fact that we are
now investing in programming for the Fall schedules, in order to build on the
momentum of our growing audience shares and to enhance our competitive
position."

     revenues             $172,770 $113,894 -34.1% $309,516 $218,672 -29.4%



Total operating revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were
down 34% year-on-year in dollar terms. The second quarter results in both
2008 and 2009 included full quarterly contributions by DTV Group in Russia
and Channel 31 Group in Kazakhstan, which were both acquired in the first
half of 2008.

The reported decline in revenues reflected the underlying weakness in the
advertising markets, as well as the year-on-year depreciation of the
Company's principal operating currency (the ruble) against the Company's
reporting currency (the US dollar). The depreciation had a negative impact of
approximately 27% on the Company's ruble denominated sales. Advertising sales
in Russia, which accounted for 93% of total second quarter revenues in 2009
and 95% in 2008, were down 12% year-on-year in the second quarter in ruble
terms.

The year-on-year development in advertising revenues for the Russian
Television Station Groups reflected the sharper decline in the regional
advertising markets in Russia when compared with the national advertising
market, and was due to the weighting of spending by large advertisers to
national campaigns.

CIS Group revenues were up 65% year-on-year in the second
quarter of 2009 due to increased advertising prices and sell-out rates for
Channel 31 in Kazakhstan, which were offset by the year-on-year depreciation
of the Kazakh tenge against the US dollar. Channel 31 generated over 90% of
CIS Group revenues in the quarter.

Share of Viewing in Target Demographics


    
                                         Average Audience Shares (%)

                                      Q2 2008   Q1 2009           Q2 2009
 
    CTC Network (all 6-54)             11.6       11.4             12.5
    Domashny Network (females 25-60)    2.7        2.6              2.9
    DTV Network (all 25-54)             2.3        2.2              2.4
    Channel 31 (all 6-54)              13.3       12.7             11.7



Each of the Russian networks delivered higher target audience
viewing shares in the second quarter, both on a sequential and year-on-year
basis.

The flagship CTC channel substantially increased its target
audience share in the second quarter and, for the first time since 2006, was
the third most watched channel by 6 to 54 year olds. CTC was also the most
watched channel in prime time by 25 to 54 year olds with kids, and maintained
its overall position as the fourth most watched free-to-air channel in
Russia. The rising ratings were driven by the continued success of the
'Daddy's Girls' and 'Ranetki' series in prime time and supported by a
well-balanced broader programming schedule.

Domashny's audience share also increased year-on-year and
quarter-on-quarter due to the strong performance of the CTC hit series 'Born
Not Pretty', as well as the late prime time weekday slot featuring foreign
series such as 'Desperate Housewives'.

DTV has been focused since January 2009 on the 25-54 year old
target group. The share of viewing in the revised demographic increased in
the second quarter following the continued success of locally produced

'Marital Fiction', as well as the late prime time slots for Russian and
foreign criminal investigation and action formats such as 'The
Investigators', 'The Trace', and 'Law and Order'.

    expenses                $102,735 $70,065  -31.8% $186,449 $138,260 -25.8%



Total operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2009 were
down 32% year-on-year in dollar terms. The reported decrease in expenses
reflected the year-on-year reduction in programming amortization expenses, as
well as the depreciation of the Company's ruble and other operating
currencies against the US dollar reporting currency. Total operating
expenditure was down 7% year on year in ruble terms in the second quarter and
included full quarterly contributions from DTV Group and Channel 31 Group in
both 2008 and 2009.

Direct operating expenses were down 25% year-on-year in the second
quarter in dollar terms, while selling, general and administrative costs were
down 26%.

Programming expenses decreased by 33% year-on-year and represented 36% of
revenues, which was unchanged from the second quarter of 2008 as a percentage
of revenues. The year-on-year decrease reflected a reduction in programming
impairment charges from $4.0 million to $1.0 million, and a $1.5 million
reduction in amortization charges due to the changes in the Company's
amortization policy for certain types of Russian-produced programming from
the beginning of 2009. When excluding the effect of the amortization policy
changes, programming expenses were down 31% year-on-year in the second
quarter in US dollar terms.

The 68% year-on-year decline in sublicensing and own production costs
primarily reflected the lower cost of in-house produced series and sitcoms
that were sold to third party broadcasters in Ukraine.

Consolidated OIBDA was therefore lower year-on-year at $46.5
million (Q2 2008: $73.4 million) but the OIBDA margin declined by less than
two percentage points to 40.8% (Q2 2008: 42.5%).

Group depreciation and amortization charges decreased by 21%
year-on-year to $2.7 million (Q2 2008: $3.4 million) in the second quarter,
and consolidated operating income totaled $43.8 million (Q2 2008: $70.0
million).

The Company's pre-tax income amounted to $41.8 million (Q2
2008: $70.8 million) in the quarter. The effective tax rate decreased
year-on-year in the second quarter to 26% (Q2 2008: 30%) mainly due to the
decrease in statutory income tax rates in Russia (from 24% to 20%) and
Kazakhstan (from 30% to 20%) from the beginning of 2009.

Consolidated net income attributable to CTC Media, Inc.
stockholders therefore totaled $30.3 million (Q2 2008: $48.8 million) in the
second quarter and fully diluted earnings per share amounted to $0.19 (Q2
2008: $0.31).

Cash Flow

The Company's net cash flow from operations
totaled $50.0 million in the first six months of 2009 (first six months of
2008: $66.9 million) and reflected the net effect of lower advertising sales
and lower expenses in the first half of 2009.

Cash used in investing activities totaled
$18.7 million during the first six months of 2009 (first six months of 2008:
$ 320.3 million) and included $11.0 million in payments related to the
acquisitions of Costafilm and Soho Media, as well as the purchasing of
equipment and software for the Company's new digital platform technology
center in Moscow. The investments in the first half of 2008 included the
acquisition of the DTV Group in Russia, the Channel 31 Group in Kazakhstan,
the Costafilm and Soho Media production companies in Russia, and a number of
local owned-and-operated stations in Russia.

Cash used for financing activities amounted
to $35.7 million in the first half of the year (first six months of 2008:
$1.8 million). This included a $33.8 million part repayment of the syndicated
loan, which the Company drew down in July 2008 to finance the acquisition of
DTV Group.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents
amounted to $91.7 million at June 30, 2009, compared to $98.1 million at the
end of 2008 and $62.5 million at June 30, 2008.

Borrowings

The Company's total borrowings and accrued
interest amounted to $56.7 million (June 30, 2008: $155.5 million) at the end
of the reporting period, compared to $90.6 million at the end of 2008. The
Company therefore had a net cash position, which is defined as cash and cash
equivalents less interest bearing liabilities, of $35.0 million (June 30,
2008: net debt of $93.0 million) at the end of the reporting period, compared
to a net cash position of $7.5 million at the end of 2008.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

To supplement its consolidated financial statements, which are
prepared and presented in accordance with US GAAP, the Company uses the
following non-GAAP financial measures: OIBDA (on a consolidated and segment
basis) and OIBDA margin. The presentation of this financial information is
not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or
superior to, financial information prepared and presented in accordance with
GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see
the accompanying financial tables included at the end of this release.

The Company uses these non-GAAP financial measures for
financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate
period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP
financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding its
performance and liquidity by excluding certain expenses that may not be
indicative of its recurring core business operating results, meaning its
operating performance excluding certain non-cash charges. These metrics are
used by management to further its understanding of the Company's operating
performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of operations. The
Company also believes that these metrics provide investors and equity
analysts with a useful basis for analyzing operating performance against
historical data and the results of comparable companies.

OIBDA and OIBDA margin. OIBDA is defined as operating income
before depreciation and amortization (exclusive of amortization of
programming rights and sublicensing rights). OIBDA margin is defined as OIBDA
divided by total operating revenues. The most directly comparable GAAP
measures to the non-GAAP measures of OIBDA and OIBDA margin are operating
income and operating income margin, respectively. Unlike operating income,
OIBDA excludes depreciation and amortization, other than amortization of
programming rights and sublicensing rights. The purchase of programming
rights is the Company's most significant expenditure that enables it to
generate revenues and OIBDA includes the impact of the amortization of these
rights. Expenditures for capital items such as property, plant and equipment
have a materially less significant impact on the Company's ability to
generate revenues. For this reason, the Company excludes the related
depreciation expense for these items from OIBDA. Moreover, a significant
portion of its intangible assets were acquired in business acquisitions. The
amortization of intangible assets is therefore also excluded from OIBDA.
