- UltimateTV is reporting that a court has ruled the World Wrestling Federation is allowed to walk away from USA Networks and sign a five-year deal with Viacom. As a result, many of the WWF's most popular shows will go to Viacom cable network TNN, while 'Voyager' home net UPN will be gaining an extension for their popular 'WWF Smackdown!' show, as well as the Sunday games of the XFL, the extreme football game slated for February by WWF Entertainment and NBC.
- According to a Reuters report, Priceline.com is planning to set up business in Europe as well, following a very successful launch in the United States. No word on whether this means we will get to see William Shatner (James T. Kirk) sing as well.
