FAVE on: financialweb.com October 14, 1999: (17%) - 5th Avenue Channel (Nasdaq: FAVE), which runs the 5thAvenueChannel.com web site, gained $0.8125 (17%) Thursday to end at $5.50 after signing an agreement with CN8, a division of Comcast Cable, for broadcast of the 5th Avenue Financial Television Network on CN8. The Comcast Network is known as CN8 and is located on Channel 8 in the majority of homes using the Comcast Cable system in some 2.5 million homes in the New York, Baltimore and Philadelphia areas. When launched, the 5th Avenue Financial Television Network will air on CN8 during the stock market trading day and will also be simulcast on the Internet. "The relationship with CN8 is at the center of our strategic plan for the launch and roll-out of the 5th Avenue Financial Television Network," said Mel Rosen, 5th Avenue's president, CEO and Chairman. "Comcast is an important force in cable television and by launching into the high quality demographics of the northeast markets we are able to test, develop and nurture our programming with our ideal customer base. Subsequent to the successful launch of the channel within CN8, we will continue our strategic rollout through distribution to additional cable and satellite systems across the United States, Europe and Latin America." "5th Avenue has aggregated an impressive group of relationships and content for the creation of a new type of exciting, practical and useful financial and entrepreneurial television. This programming will be a 'must-see' for everyone from the serious to the amateur investor," said Bob Bubeck, Director of Network Sales for the Comcast Network. "This type of financial programming is exactly what we have been looking for on CN8 and we are working very closely with 5th Avenue in the finalization of the programming and the launch of the channel."
