Here is why Actv could be a 10 to 20 dollar stock in 99. The timetables are the only ? mark. ......... by: Matchthehatch 2792 of 2799 re-read.... Several Quotes from the article in November. "Liberty owns stakes in a stable of networks and companies that offer sexy interactive programming opportunities, from The Travel Channel, to TV Guide, to USA Networks Inc., to Ticketmaster." "Liberty insiders were abuzz with ideas for offerings that Liberty Interactive can explore, from arranging for viewers to buy cruise packages from Travel, to ordering compact discs and concert tickets from an interactive spinoff of The Box." "Liberty, armed with a $5 billion cash war chest from its sale of certain assets to AT&T Corp., will finance Liberty Interactive, the first mandate of which is to create enhanced-video content tailored to advanced-digital set-tops." "Liberty will also transfer its 86 percent interest in TCI Music — which owns The Box, DMX and the SonicNet Web sites — to Liberty Interactive." "Liberty Media has an incredible amount of cash, Our intention is to be ahead of the market." " interactive video channels are expected to have a strong advertising component" "Liberty has many ownership stakes that it can exploit — in Discovery [Communications Inc.], USA Networks [which owns Ticketmaster], Fox Sports, TV Guide [which is being acquired by Liberty's United Video Satellite Group Inc.], BET [Black Entertainment Television] and Telemundo," "A source inside a Liberty affiliate company said the natural preference will be to work with Liberty Interactive, and not with an outside vendor, such as Wink Communications Inc. or ICTV. "I wouldn't want to be a shareholder in any one of those companies," the source said. "Why would TCI, for example, work with them when they have Lee Masters building them something specific to their needs and working in concert with companies like us?" "Several weeks ago, in an apparent prelude to creating its interactive unit, Liberty acquired a 10 percent stake in interactive-program company ACTV Inc. for $5 million." "For example, a viewer watching a show on a car could click and order more information about that model, or be directed to a Web site where such data are available, Masters said." "One of the first things that Masters said he will look at is TCI Music and interactive opportunities involving music, such as selling CDs." "The set-top is the next logical environment," 204.243.31.23. nel?&A=2&D0=0&Dv=9&Dg=275424&Df=11&Qv=0&K1=http%3a%2f%2fwww%2emultichannel%2ecom %2fhtml%2f40%2flibe40%2ehtm -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted: Dec 12 1998 1:49PM EST as a reply to: Msg 2770 by arthurs1 Replies: View Replies to this Messa ------ Previous \| Previous \| ------ \| Edit your message \| Quotes - 100-Day Chart - News - Discussion - $5 and Under View SubjectMarks Bookmark this Subject ACTV Inc.
