WHO'S ON FIRST? THE GRIZZLIES AND THE DUKES -- ON THE WEB
Published May 22, 1998
The first-ever live, interactive, video and audio
telecast of a pro baseball game will be broadcast over the
Internet on Monday at 1:30pm PT, when the AAA PCL Fresno
Grizzlies host the Albuquerque Dukes. CA-based Computer
Aided Technologies (CAT) and the Grizzlies are partners in
the Intercast, which will be available to anyone with
Netscape, AOL or Microsoft Web Browser software, and can be
found at www.amintercast.com (CAT). CAT CEO Ed DeReyes said
that he expects 15,000-20,000 people to watch the game
online. Four cameras have been set up for the game, as well
as chat areas for fans to interact with the announcers and
other fans (Jon Swartz, S.F. CHRONICLE, 5/21).
