ABC, Netscape and AT&T let 'wired' viewers peek at ABC's fall schedule

NEW YORK -- ABC, Netscape and AT&T will join forces to cybercast ABC's fall
schedule when it is unveiled on Monday, May 20.

Cyberworldly TV fans will be able to sneak a peek at ABC's 1996-97 fall
primetime schedule through ABC's Web site (http://abctv.com), which will
feature a live RealAudio cybercast and a continually refreshed stream of
images of the network's annual fall schedule presentation.

The cybercast will be transmitted by ABC on May 20 at 4 p.m. ET, when the
network reveals its night-by-night lineup of programming to the
advertising industry at New York's Lincoln Center. This is the first time
that viewers will be able to see ABC's new shows at the same time they are
presented to the advertising community.

The cybercast will feature live audio and images from the event, video
clips of the new shows, and photographs of the stars of ABC's new and
returning series. Netscape and AT&T will make it possible for cyberviewers
to log into a live chat room, moderated by ABC, and exchange real-time
email with the stars participating in the presentation. (See the note
below about chat room limits.)

Netscape will provide access to the Netscape Chat client software for use
during the presentation, and AT&T EasyCommerce Services will provide the
special host server for this event. The Netscape IRC Chat client can be
downloaded from the ABC Website at http://abctv.com/cybercast.html.

Note: Chat is limited to 150 participants at a given time.
