thomas...all. at least we know cbs is true to their word. excerpted from my earlier post, #reply-8600285 Karmazin cited CBS' strong brand identity, wide consumer reach and 3,500-member sales force as the chief reasons CBS will be able to expand its Internet presence in the near future, adding that "an awful lot of people are interested in partnering with us." The CBS chief said the network would announce more deals with Internet companies in "a short period of time," and may launch with its Infinity radio stations a major initiative that would use streaming audio to, conceivably, put talk show hosts like Howard Stern or his nemesis Don Imus on the Internet. He also said CBS might look to take some of its current network holdings and turn them into digital TV channels, perhaps turning CBS MarketWatch into the network's own version of CNBC. Karmazin also acknowledged that CBS could spin off all of its Internet companies into a separate entity, though he gave no timetable for doing so or any firm commitment to such an action. it seemed to me at the time that they might somehow look AXC way, but the general consensus was [a la carl et al...] that CBS may as well just buy everything. they still might. <g> flick
