ONLINE NEWS & NOTES: NFL DEAL A "BIG WIN" FOR CBS SPORTSLINE

          CBS SportsLine Founder Michael Levy was profiled by
     Kevin Gale in the Fort Lauderdale SUN-SENTINEL on Sunday
     under the header "Network's $4 Billion NFL Deal Also A Big
     Win For CBS SportsLine."  Levy's role in forming SportsLine
     was examined and Gale wrote that SportsLine partnered with
     CBS "knowing it would benefit from" the broadcasts of the
     Olympics and the NCAA basketball tournament, but the NFL
     deal "should help CBS SportsLine compete with rivals,
     particularly" ESPN SportsZone (SUN-SENTINEL, 1/18).  Shares
     of SportsLine were up 3 1/8 yesterday, closing at 23 3/4.
          TOOT! TOOT! CNNSI.com said it has concluded its first
     six months of operation as the second most visited sports
     site on the Web.  In the fourth quarter of '97, CNNSI.com
     totalled 276 million page impressions -- an average of 21
     million per week and three million per day.  Weekly traffic
     ranged from 18 million to 24 million page views (CNNSI.com).
