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.
