yahoo and broadcast.com: the aftermath: one direct result follows. Yahoo readying Web radio feature By Jim Hu Staff Writer, CNET News.com May 7, 1999, 5:20 p.m. PT URL: news.com Yahoo is preparing to unveil its latest multimedia offering: Yahoo Radio. The offering, still in beta, will be powered by Net radio company Spinner.com. The beta of Yahoo Radio comes just weeks after the portal acquired streaming content aggregator Broadcast.com for $5.7 billion in stock. The acquisition positions Yahoo to Webcast multimedia content to users and will boost the portal's broadband offerings. Broadcast.com streams events to consumers such as baseball games and radio shows and offers earnings calls or corporate presentations to business clients. Yahoo declined comment on the new service. A Spinner spokesperson could not be reached for comment. Internet radio is becoming a popular offering, and many media companies--both online and off--are moving to get a piece of the action. Viacom, for example, in February acquired Imagine Radio for its upcoming music destination site, which has the working title the "Buggles Project." And Yahoo is not the first portal to tap the Web radio market. Lycos recently launched the Lycos Radio Network, which is powered by Westwind Media. Similar to the service on Spinner's own site, Yahoo Radio offers an array of music channels, such as "The '80s," "Alternative Rock," "Y! Jazz," "Y! Classical," "Y! Country," "Y! R&B Jamz," and "Classic Rock," among others.

Lee.....Well it seems that questions only beget more questions. After reading #8227 by Chris, I don't know what to think. This whole Ampex scenario is reminiscent of WW-2 Enigma code breakers. Somehow I think we have come up with a most likely chain of events, but which ones?? One thing for sure it's exciting and enjoyable to prospect for nuggets. I am satisfied the upcoming events will be rewarding in many ways and look forward to seeing the big picture unfold. It's almost like being a kid and trying to go to sleep Christmas Eve night with visions of sugar plum fairies dancing through your head..Wondering what's in the big boxes under the tree...?? We'll just have to wait and see.. Thanks for the exchange PS.. to Chris thanks for #8227 PPS. Thanks to everyone else for their thoughts. This is truly a Class Act Thread... TW.. Long and waiting
