Yahoo considers Broadcast.com acquisition By Bloomberg News Special to CNET NEWS.COM March 19, 1999, 3:05 p.m. PT NEW YORK--Yahoo is interested in buying Broadcast.com, according to a report in Business Week's online edition, which cites an unidentified source familiar with the situation. Yahoo chief executive Timothy Koogle, cofounder Jerry Yang, and other senior managers have been meeting with executives at Broadcast.com to discuss a potential acquisition, which could be valued at almost $3 billion based on Broadcast.com's closing share price today. America Online and General Electric's NBC unit also are interested in Broadcast.com, an unidentified source said. None of the companies would comment, the magazine reported. Shares of Dallas-based Broadcast.com, which transmits audio and video programs over the Internet, have more than doubled this year; they fell 2 to 85 in trading today. Copyright 1999, Bloomberg L.P.
