broadcast live Tuesday, April 20, 1999 at 8PM Eastern Time.
''Broadcast.com, with over 1.1 million unique users daily, is simply unequalled in its ability to deliver to us the audience we
want, both in quality and in quantity,'' said Richard Hue, LaserMedia CEO. ''We think broadcast.com's reach will benefit our
adve rtisers and we see this as a major opportunity for us to generate significant traffic and revenues. I'm looking forward to
working with broadcast.com in the development of future online events.''

the actfit.com site. Sherry Goggin is North America's best-known female fitness personality, as well as being an accomplished

The event will be broadcast from Gold's Gym in Sylmar, California, which Ms. Goggin owns, and she will be available to talk
to fans in actfit.com's chat room afterward.
The next event on the site's schedule is the first annual Ms. Rio Competition, which actfit.com will host at the Rio Suite Hotel &
