TWI INKS WITH INT'L GROUP TO BRING SPORTS INTO MORE HOMES

          IMG's TWI announced a partnership with Pacific Century
     CyberWorks (PCC), which would give the Hong Kong technology
     company "valuable sports content when it begins to offer a
     broadband internet service to consumers next year,"
     according to Jacob & Harverson of the FINANCIAL TIMES.  The
     new service, called Network of the World, would allow
     consumers to view sports programming simultaneously on both
     a traditional TV screen and a PC via the Internet with the
     broadband network connection offering "high quality moving
     pictures."  TWI will take an equity stake in PCC, and the
     two companies will jointly invest "several hundred million
     dollars" in employees and production facilities. It also
     gives PCC access to TWI's sports library and to the sports
     programs it produces each year (FINANCIAL TIMES, 12/15)
