SPORTSLINE CEO PREDICTS PROFITS BY THE YEAR 2000

          SportsLine USA CEO Michael Levy said his company is
     "steadily increasing its revenue and looks to become
     profitable in 2000," according to a report in the WALL
     STREET JOURNAL.  Levy: "[L]ast year our revenues were at
     $12.2 million; in the first quarter [of this year] we
     generated about $6.6 million in revenue."  Levy added that
     analysts are predicting the company "should turn cash flow
     positive late next year, with profitability perhaps in the
     following year" (WALL STREET JOURNAL, 6/15).
          NBA.COM LOOKING TO PIGGYBACK FOR PAYDAY: After the
     NFL's recent three-year, $10M deal with Disney to produce
     NFL.com, NBA is "next up in web negotiations," according to
     a BLOOMBERG report.  NBA President TV/New Media Ventures Ed
     Desser "wouldn't discuss negotiations on a web address that
     outdraws the NFL by a two-to-one margin," but said "what the
     NFL got is obviously going to play a part in what we do"
