Internet shrs gain, lower-profile cos shoot ahead NEW YORK, April 7 (Reuters) - Internet stocks were mostly higher on Wednesday, with some of the lower-profile companies in the group shooting ahead and grabbing investor attention. Investors extended their recent frenzy for audio- and video-related cyberstocks, which was spurred by Yahoo Inc.'s <YHOO.O> $5.7 billion buyout of Broadcast.com Inc. <BCST.O>, the top supplier of such content over the Internet. RealNetworks <RNWK.O> and Audiohighway.com <AHWY.O> were among the stocks that have benefited from this frenzy. RealNetworks was up 18-9/16 at 214, while Audiohighway.com was up 9-5/8 at 27. "It seems that in the Internet group, if there is expansion or highlight or a new market for one company, it helps the whole sector," said Peter Coolidge," senior equity trader at Brean Murray and Co. In addition, traders said excitement over Yahoo's earnings report, expected after the market closes Wednesday, was boosting the overall sector. Yahoo shares were up 1-1/8 at 216. Other standouts included Spyglass Inc. <SPYG.O>, which was up 6-3/8 at 15-1/4 amid news that it signed a deal with Microsoft Corp. <MSFT.O> that will provide the company with $20 million over a three-year period. Also, TCI Music Inc. <TUNE.O> was up 7-7/16 at 37. On Tuesday, Liberty Media Group <LMGa.N> said it planned to shift its Internet assets into TCI Music. Meanwhile, shares of Internet video systems provider FVC.com <FVCX.O> tumbled 10-3/8 to 7 following news that it expects to report a first quarter loss as a result of lower-than-expected revenues.
