Mi2N LAUNCHES CHANNEL PRO FOR THE LATIN & URBAN MUSIC COMMUNITY

Latino Wired, 'LA'Ritmo.com's Private Label Channel PRO Service, Gets Noticed By NY Times

New York, NY -- September 11, 2000 -- Mi2N (www.mi2n.com), a leading news publisher and CSP (Content Service Provider) impacting the digital music & entertainment sectors, officially launched its Channel PRO ASP content integration service for Latin & urban music sites. The service delivers in real-time news items relevant to the genres from Mi2N newswire service.

The specialized Channel PRO service has been in place for several months in the online Latin music magazine 'LA'Ritmo.com (www.laritmo.com) and urban culture site Black Hole (www.eyeofthehole.com) . In a NY Times recent article featuring 'LA'Ritmo.com, Debra A. Klein wrote: "Latino Wired news link chugs with the latest industry music news and is updated daily." Latino Wired is 'LA'Ritmo.com's private label Channel PRO service.

"We were extremely pleased that the NY Times singled out Latino Wired," said Sounni de Fontenay, Publisher of 'LA'Ritmo.com. "Not only has it given us an edge and distinguished our site from other Latin music sites, the private label aspect of the service has helped us to build a strong brand in the market. The NY Times article validates that."

"For the past year, we've put Channel PRO through extensive real-life challenges and conditions through 'LA'Ritmo.com and Black Hole. We are bringing a proven ASP content solution to the market," said Eric de Fontenay, Editor-in-Chief of Mi2N. "As dot-coms increasingly look to CSPs to increase their competitiveness, providing a successful track record will become increasingly important."

Unlike the standard Channel PRO service that allows web businesses to select from Mi2N ten categories from band news and music events to technology and business news, the Latin & Urban Channels draws from the entire Mi2N newswire to provide a rich mix of news relevant to the specific genre. In keeping with Channel PRO's emphasis on 'being more than a news feed,' the specialized services offer advanced search functionality, email, printer-friendly and news submission features in a full private label design.
