                    CINCINNATI BELL CEO KEVIN MOONEY RESIGNS
  FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL RESTRUCTURING, 13-YEAR VETERAN DECIDES TO LEAVE, BOARD
                RETAINS SPENCER STUART LLP TO CONDUCT CEO SEARCH

CINCINNATI - July 22, 2003 -- Cincinnati Bell Inc. (NYSE: CBB) today announced
that its Chief Executive Officer, Kevin W. Mooney, has decided to leave the
company, effective July 31, 2003, following the successful completion of a $2
billion restructuring of the telecommunications company.

Mooney, 45, said that since the company was on the right track now to focus on
its Cincinnati-based businesses, he felt this was the best time for the company
to seek new leadership.

"Over the last 13 years, I've worked very hard to build this company and help it
survive. Now it's time for new challenges and new opportunities," Mooney said.
"I'm extremely grateful to the employees of this company who have given so much
during very difficult circumstances."

Since September 2002 when Mooney was named CEO, the company has implemented a
substantial financial and strategic repositioning. The company executed a
five-point restructuring plan designed to improve the company's financial
position, maintain the strength and stability of its Cincinnati-based
businesses, lower the cash burn at its broadband unit while divesting of the
business, reduce the company's debt, and increase shareholder value.




Mooney also served as chief operating officer in 2002 and previously was the
Company's chief financial officer.

"During his tenure as CEO, Kevin made substantial contributions to the success
of Cincinnati Bell, and we are grateful for his support and leadership," said
Phillip R. Cox, Chairman of the Board.

The company has retained Spencer Stuart LLP, a global executive recruiting firm,
to conduct a search for his replacement.
