Vitalsigns, that's something like what I understand as well. I also understood there to be some kind of franchising arrangement as well. For instance, they may sell a standard website that can be modified to suit the radio station. The advantage to buying one through Platinum would be that it's already configured for optimal compatibility with the portal. I have a friend that sells sites based on this concept. While his sites aren't related to radio stations they are preformatted to run from/in conjunction with a company owned portal. He makes amazing bucks and the company he works for does even better. All the Best Marty P

Vitalsigns, <<The impression I got from the news release, and talking to management, was that the radio deal was more of a business to business arrangement. Hci would set up a portal so that Radio Stations (whether large or small) could access the e-commerce services provided. This could be in the form of a National on-line chat with Shania Twain, or access to sold out Concert Tickets. Hci would receive a fee on a "Per Hit" basis for the services, and the radio stations would have access to services they may not be able to afford on their own.I guess it would be a form of co-op. So the portal is not intended to be used by the public directly but access would be provided through the radio stationsown Web site. Please correct me if I misrepresented anything so far.>> I have never heard it put quiet exactly like that so therefore can not comment on your explanation. However, you could be "Bang-on". <<My point , and I do have one, is that HCi will not be as concerned about teachers and kids ,but more with the radio stations liking the content and ease of use.>> That may be so for Platinum InterMedia (which by the way is a very small company) but the point that I want to make is that the Internet play that I posted ( DVN ) is very very interactive therefore brings people back often to the site. And here is why HCI should be concerned about teachers and kids. Read the following: Recent research indicates that there are 22 million youths between the age sof five to 12 on-line in the U.S. and Canada. This age group is the fastest growing segment of the on-line audience. The company's strategy is to gain an on-line following among children and educators for its films, thus increasing exposure and sales. Den
