MEDIA NOTES

          TV MONITOR: Last night's 10:00pm ET edition of FSN's
     "Fox Sports News" led with 76ers-Hornets, followed by an
     update on Lakers-Heat.  The first non-NBA report, at 3:30
     into the broadcast, was on Seton Hall Univ. G Shaheen
     Holloway's ankle injury.  Last night's 11:00pm ET edition of
     CNN/SI's "Sports Tonight" led with Lakers-Heat, followed by
     76ers-Hornets.  The first non-NBA report, at 4:42, was

     "SportsCenter" also led with Lakers-Heat, followed by 76ers-
     Hornets.  The first non-NBA report, at 4:10, was an update
     on the injury to Seton Hall's Holloway (THE DAILY).   
          NOTES: In Toronto, William Houston reports that the
     Canadian Radio-TV & Telecom Commission is "expected to
     announce this week its decision" on CTV's proposed purchase
     of NetStar Communications, "which includes the prize
     property TSN."  Industry sources "predict CTV will be
     allowed to keep TSN, but forced to sell" CTV SportsNet, its
     "own sports cable channel" (Toronto GLOBE & MAIL, 3/21). 
     ...In Dallas, Barry Horn reports that the MLB Rangers and
     FSN have "worked out a" $200M deal that "would allow" FSN,
     which already owns Rangers' cable rights, "to control the
     over-the-air rights as well."  But MLB "has yet to sign off
     on the deal," as there "apparently" are "some issues
     relating to the right to stream video over the Internet"
     (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 3/21)....ADWEEK's Katy Bachman cites a
     BIA Research study showing that WFAN-AM in N.Y. "topped the
     radio money charts" with $60.8M in total revenue in '99, a
     10% gain over '98 (ADWEEK, 3/17)....Execs of the soccer Web
     site goalnetwork.com were in Seattle last week "looking for
     additional investment" to expand their site.  Goalnetwork
     CEO Craig Stoehr: "We're currently on a road show, doing our
     second round of institutional funding" (SEATTLE P-I, 3/20).
