<<<In the case of DBCC, it doesn't matter how well MKTW
does, since DBCC won't benefit much from MKTW's price increases, whereas NAVR
will benefit from NETradio's success because of its 50% ownership...JMHO... >>

That part is incorrect....

DBCC holds 38% of MKTW post-IPO
NAVR will hold 50% of NetRadio post-IPO

so when you say DBCC won't benefit much from MKTW's price increase, yet NAVR will ... thats a bit misleading. 12% holding interest isn't that much difference.

MALL is the most direct tie in of course, with 80% ownership of UBID.

If IPO not announced soon, we're screwed

MTV's looking for a music site, so Broadcast.com
stock flew as it's perceived as being in the running
and that's what made NAVR go up in sympathy. If
NAVR waits much beyond earnings release to announce
the IPO, many will lose faith and sell their stock
as international economic crisis pressure continues
to weigh on the markets, and eventually on the Internet
Euphoric stock run. Timing is everything, and if they
wait till 2/9, as many have suggested, there will be
a great buying opportunity between earnings release
and then to get into this stock a lot cheaper. So I
will wait till after earnings release before adding
any more NAVR to my position. These guys screwed us
once before for the same reason, and stand to lose
all credibility if they do it again.
Once- shame on you,
Twice- shame on me.

Tell me if my math is correct: NAVR currently holds 85% of NETRadio, VVTV has 15% NETRadio. After the IPO NAVR retains 50% of their original 85% or Post IPO = 42.5%, VVTV has 15% and the remaining 42.5% of shares will be NETRadio's and the shareholders. or maybe it's easier to read like this:

PRE IPO: NAVR 85%, VVTV 15%

Post IPO: NAVR 42.5%, VVTV 15%, NETRadio 42.5%

Now of these 42.5% of NETRadio shares how many will be offered to the public and how many will be retained by NETRadio? <--- Is this a factor? OK now who is the number cruncher here. Does this mean anything to anybody? You can only predict without any good base numbers. My 2 cents worth on the take is: Depending on the amount of shares offered at the IPO. If the float is low NAVR and NETRadio are going to fly. Maybe the number cruncher can look this up From previous IPO's: What is the % of the parent company shares compared to the # of shares offered at the IPO? Can you feel the vise tightening for a squeeze? If there is say half of the 1.9M shares short we are in for one heck of a thriller. Wait till I tell my friends in the Rock-N-Roll capitol about NETRadio. Sorry for the long post, but I just couldn't help myself for thinking of this. Maybe someone can make some sense of it?
Go NAVR !!!!!
