          RATINGS: HBO's "Don King: Only In America" earned a

     from 8:00-10:00pm ET (N.Y. POST, 11/19)....USA TODAY's
     Michael Hiestand reports that Tiger Woods' TV "impact
     continues," as TBS' golf "Grand Slam" on Monday night
     received a 1.3 overnight rating, up 18% from '96 (USA TODAY,
     11/19)....SRI's SMART TV ratings service was profiled by
     Valerie Block in this week's CRAIN'S N.Y. BUSINESS.  Block:
     "While hardly a threat yet, the budding service is gaining
     credibility. ... SMART is already forcing Nielsen, which
     annually takes in $350 million for its services, to be more
     responsive."  Block writes that SMART "will need to raise"
     more than $100M, and that observers "doubt that money will
     ever materialize" (CRAIN'S N.Y. BUSINESS, 11/17 issue).
           WEB: Wall Street Sports, at www.wallstreetsports.com,
     was profiled in today's WALL STREET JOURNAL.  More than
     17,000 people have joined the game where "investors" can buy
