SAN MATEO, Calif., Feb. 23 /PRNewswire/ -- CBS.MarketWatch.com ,the
leading Internet site for individual investors, today inaugurated its
financial news radio service with a twice-a-day program reporting on news of
the Internet over the CBS Radio Network. The "Internet Daily" show is
anchored by veteran broadcast and Internet newsman Frank Barnako. It is an
extension of a column he writes for the CBS.MarketWatch.com web site.
"This is the first of several broadcast products we are developing for
CBS," said Larry Kramer, President and CEO of CBS.MarketWatch.com. "It is a
natural extension of the strong real-time financial reporting and research we
have done on the Internet up to this point. The Internet itself is a huge
business story right now, and our extensive coverage of that story makes it a
perfect starter for our broadcast coverage. We expect to bring our extensive
Internet-based coverage of other business and financial stories to the radio
and television audiences of CBS."
"Financial news is more important now than ever before and greatly affects
our millions of listeners. That's why we are so delighted with our new
relationship with CBS Marketwatch," said Harvey Nagler, CBS News Vice
President for Radio. "There is no doubt in my mind that Marketwatch will
become an important value added element for our 600 affiliated stations."

in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Washington and London, under the
direction of Editor-in-Chief Thom Calandra. Besides providing extensive stock
