FRIbAY, DECEMBER 15,199$ BUSINESS PRESS-REPUBLICAN PAGE 13 STOCK LISTINGS cable TV, cyberspatife By SCOTT WILLIAMS AP Television Writer NEW YORK (AP) - NBC and Microsoft are joining forces to start a 24-hour all-news cable channel plus an on-line service that will enable computer users to watch the hews on their PCs. • The network and the world's largest software company announced plans Thursday to start MSNBC Cable, a round-the-clock news channel, and MSNBC Online. \This is the vary beginning of the interactive world,\ said Microsoft President Bill Gates, speaking via satellite from Hong Kong. \By bring- ing the power of these two operations to bear on this, we'll be able to be a leader and make the news far more attractive than it's been.\ ., . Microsoft will pay $22.0 million for half of America's Talking, NBC's all-talk cable subsidiary; over the next six months, the Fort Lee, N.J.-based cable network will be converted into 'the 24-hour news operation. . In addition, NBC and Microsoft will each put up 4 $200, million over the next five years to run both ventures. \We'll try to be up this summer, officially, with the new service,\ NBC President Bob Wright said. :; MSNBC Online's goal is to provide NBC News video, sound, graphics and text via the Internet's .World Wide Web, accessible through high-speed ','cable modems soon to reach .the market. ' \Xye're taking the long-term view here that, over • tim.e,vyideo will be an important data type, as well as the\audio and text that are already available,\^ Gates said. A user could see a story on \Dateline NBC,\ then explore it in depth on MSNBC Online, with \point-and-click\ access to video clips, sound bites and historical background from NBC archives. NBC News will have exclusive editorial control of both the cable channel and the on-line service. In the United States, MSNBC Cable will reach nearly 20 million homes, with 35 million locked in by the year 2000. Overseas, it will reach as many as 200 million homes through NBC Super Channel in Europe, CNBC in Asia and Europe, Canal de Noticias NBC in Latin America and NBC Asia, scheduled to begin operations in January. To offer video on line, NBC and Microsoft are counting on the development of faster access to the Internet. Most people with home, computers connect to the Internet over phone lines with a modem. But sev- eral cable companies are working on allowing In- ternet access through cable, which moves data hundreds of times faster than a phone line. CNN, received by 67.5 million households in the United States and millions more worldwide, has had the all-news cable field to itself since Ted Turner launched CNN in 1980. Two weeks ago, News Corp.'s Rupert Murdoch said he would launch an all-news channel. On Dec. 5, ABC- said it would enter the global, 24-hour cable TV news business iri 1997. CNN was not impressed by NBC's bid. \Every service they announced today, we've already got out there,\ said Steve Haworth.a CNN spokesman.
