(Last updated 4:45 PM ET April 6)

NEW YORK (Reuters) - America Online Inc. said it has no plans to
make an announcement Wednesday,dispelling market speculation it was involved in a news conference to unveil a "major" Internet media deal.

A news conference is scheduled to be held in New York
Wednesday involving chief executives of at least two companies
according to a communications firm that is hosting the event.

Market rumors have been flying in recent days that AOL could be
gearing up to announce a deal to acquire CBS Corp. .

"We don't have an announcement planned for tomorrow,"
America Online spokeswoman Tricia Primrose told Reuters
Tuesday afternoon in response to a question about whether the
company planned to participate in the New York news conference.

The spokeswoman had earlier declined to comment on whether
AOL was planning to participate in the news conference, saying:
"We don't comment on rumors and speculation."

She declined to comment on potential acquisition deals.

announcing the news conference.

The conference is scheduled for 10:30 a.m. EDT (1430 GMT) at
the Righa Royal Hotel in New York City.

The statement said the event, described as a major Internet
announcement in the media business, would feature, "the
companies' CEOs and other executives."

companies involved.
