FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

             53 Percent of Parents Receptive to Subscription-Based
                 Safe Online Environments, Jupiter Survey Finds

New York. NY, June 23, 1998.--More than half of parents with online-savvy kids
would be open to paying for subscription services that monitor content and chat
for kids (and more than a quarter indicate a strong willingness to pay) Jupiter
analysts said today at Jupiter's Digital Kids `98 conference in San Francisco.
Sixty-eight percent of parents are very concerned about their children's use of
the Internet and try to limit their activities online, according to a recent
Jupiter Communications consumer survey (performed by NFO Interactive). Parents
view chat, e-mail from strangers, adult entertainment, and privacy as the
biggest threats to their children's safety. Advertising weighed in as a low
concern, with only 17 percent of parents viewing online ads as a drawback on Web
sites, the survey found.

For kids (children under 13) and teenagers (youths from 13 to 18), 66 percent of
parents polled said they restrict their children from giving out personal
information over the Internet; nearly 62 percent restrict shopping, and almost
54 percent try to prohibit access to adult entertainment online.

"This is important news for Web sites aimed at kids," said Regina Joseph, senior
analyst for Consumer Content Strategies at Jupiter Communications. "Businesses
should aggressively focus on advertising and subscription revenue models for
kid-oriented Web sites, while posting prominent privacy statements, eradicating
direct marketing through e-mail, and scaling back on requests for personal
information."

The Digital Kids `98 conference also discussed the relationship between kids'
use of the Internet and TV in terms of cross-promotional marketing, interaction,
and usage patterns. The Jupiter survey found that a significant minority (one
third of kids and more than 40 percent of teens) report fewer hours spent
watching TV as a result of the Internet. Respondents ranked e-mail (54 percent),
general surfing (37 percent), homework (37 percent), games (30 percent), and
chat (29 percent) as the most common online activities.

"Kids still spend more time per week watching TV than they spend online, but we
believe that this slow erosion of TV time into Web time could parlay into a
substantial opportunity for broadcasters," said Joseph. "The cross-promotional
and brand loyalty implications of moving an audience from the realm of TV to the
Internet is the stuff marketers dream of. Broadcasters need to be vigilant in
exploiting their young audiences through creative bundling of online content and
TV entertaInment without offending the sensibilities of the parents. All Web
sites aimed at kids should walk this line carefully to ensure that the core of
their business can attract kids while at the same time assuaging parents'
fears."
