o Fox
Interactive Media COO Mark Jung Resigns
San Jose, Calif. - Fox Interactive Media chief operating
officer Mark Jung quietly stepped down earlier this week, the San
Jose Mercury News reported. Jung, who had been in the position for
just nine months, also co-founded and was CEO of IGN Entertainment,
a games company acquired by Fox Interactive Media prior to its
MySpace purchase. In an interview, Fox Interactive CEO Ross
Levinsohn told the Merc that Jung left for personal reasons.
Levinsohn also responded to data that shows MySpace visitors
dwindled from 49.2 million in August to 47.2 million in September.
"Certainly, you aren't going to continue to grow at the rate of 60
million users every few years,'' Levinsohn told the Merc. "We're
running out of people (who will register for the service) in this
country, but we're just starting to launch sites internationally."
Levinsohn also commented on Google's YouTube acquisition. "I don't
think we would have spent $1.6 billion to acquire YouTube…[but] if
you're going to run a (sale) process of one of the hottest companies
on the Internet, you should do that openly. There's no advantage to
shareholders to do these things in private. You don't necessarily
get the best value in the market. If it were out being shopped,
maybe it could have sold for $2 billion," Levinsohn said.

Silver Spring, Md. - Discovery Communications announced

o MSN Music
to Halt Download Sales, Plug Zune and Rhapsody
San Francisco - Microsoft's MSN Music store will soon stop
selling song downloads and instead direct traffic to RealNetworks'
Rhapsody service and the Zune Marketplace, a store that will launch
in connection with the debut of Microsoft's Zune digital media
player, CNET News.com reported. In addition, Microsoft will make the
MSN Radio service free, and use the MSN Music site to host live
concerts, artist interviews and other content. Microsoft hopes to
duplicate Apple's success with its tight integration of iTunes and
the iPod with its Zune Marketplace and the Zune player.

o Web
Listeners to Public Radio's KCRW Eclipse Radio Audience
New York - Southern California public radio station KCRW's
online audience has now surpassed its terrestrial radio audience,
the Wall Street Journal reported. October data from Google Analytics
show that KCRW online -- which features live and on-demand streaming
of the station's programming -- counted 760,000 unique visitors
during October, compared with KCRW's estimated terrestrial radio
audience of nearly 600,000. When it comes to generating online
revenue for the station, KCRW station manager Ruth Seymour told The
Journal she "doesn't think selling station memberships will fly. In
her view, while public radio listeners expect to be hit up for
donations, the Web has a culture where users expect to get things
free." However, if the current growth trend continues, recruiting
drives would be considered successful if just 1% of Web listeners
become members, Will Lewis, a management consultant to KCRW, told
The Journal.
