Excerpts from the COVER STORY of the Los Angeles Business Journal (January 10,
2000 / front cover):
"BUSINESS WORLD NEWS" has attracted some of the most powerful figures in
American business and politics -- people like Intel Corp. (Nasdaq:INTC) founder
Andrew Grove and Senator Jay Rockefeller. It has helped influence the passage of
national legislation, and may well have caused the stock of one to-be-profiled
company to hit a 52-week high. It is hosted by an Emmy-winning broadcaster and
appears on selected CBS affiliate stations....
Lending further credibility to the show are the heavy hitters who have appeared,
such as Grove and Rockefeller, as well as former David E. Kelley Productions
President Jeffrey Kramer and high-level executives from Boeing Co. (NYSE:BA),
Motorola (NYSE:MOT) and IBM (NYSE:IBM). Each potential client is screened
through TVA's editorial committee, which is made up of "award-winning writers,
producers, directors, editors, and P.R. execs"...
Additional Spotlights currently airing include Amdahl, Technicolor
(Nasdaq:CCTVY), Adair Int'l Oil & Gas, Inc. (OTCBB:AIGI), Diamond Brands,
Foothill Independent Bank (Nasdaq:FOOT), National Companies (Nasdaq:ESOL),
Rhythms Netconnections (Nasdaq:RTHM), and Senior Care Action Network (SCAN).
