Fort Lauderdale, FL (October 1, 1997) -- CBS SportsLine (cbs.sportsline.com) today launched its premier Active Channel content for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0, the new version of Microsoft's Web browser. The CBS SportsLine Active Channel content is featured as a pre-configured channel on the Channel Bar shipping with Internet Explorer 4.0.

Taking advantage of the latest "push" technology, which "webcasts" information on requested topics directly to the user, the CBS SportsLine Active Channel content features 11 main avenues, covering each major professional and college sport. Each avenue includes the top stories and the latest scores specific to that sport. Users may also personalize channels to select specific teams. Links are also provided to CBS SportsLine's award-winning Web site for those interested in more details on each story, game or team.

Through this alliance with Internet Explorer, CBS SportsLine, a leading provider of sports information and entertainment on the World Wide Web, will gain an important new distribution source for its service. The CBS SportsLine Active Channel content is available exclusively to Internet Explorer 4.0 users.

"The Active Channel content we have created for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 will introduce CBS SportsLine to a whole new base of users," said Michael Levy, president and C.E.O. of SportsLine USA, Inc., the publisher of CBS SportsLine.
