AFTER LANDING BILL BURKE, RSN FEELS FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN

          Former TBS Superstation and Turner South President BILL
     BURKE has been named President & CEO of ME-based Resort
     Sports Networks (RSN), which "consists of a Web site and
     cable network available in major resorts dedicated to
     mountain sports" (HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, 3/28).  RSN provides
     mountain resorts with reports of weather and "lifestyle
     programming through five owned low-power TV stations and a
     Web site."  DAILY VARIETY's John Dempsey reports that RSN
     Founder RORY STRUNK "says the privately held company will
     report next month that its second round of financing has
     raised $25 million, elevating RSN's value to $90 million." 
     Burke will "work on expanding the RSN.com Web site," tying
     it together with TV stations and reinforcing the service it
     already sells to affiliated TV stations in resort areas not
     covered by the RSN O&Os (DAILY VARIETY, 3/28).
