CBS, A UNIT OF VIACOM, AMERICA ONLINE and SPORTSLINE.COM, INC.

NEW YORK, DULLES, VA and FORT LAUDERDALE, FL -- The National Football League announced today a multi-year agreement with CBS, a unit of Viacom, America Online, and SportsLine.com, Inc.

The four-way partnership encompasses wide-ranging initiatives, including online and offline cross promotion and marketing with America Online, a wholly owned subsidiary of AOL Time Warner Inc., and CBS. It also takes advantage of Viacom's stable of media properties. In addition, SportsLine.com Inc. will produce and host NFL.COM, the most popular sports league site. The four partners also will explore additional joint opportunities in technology-based media.

The agreement teams the NFL, America's number-one sports league, with three media leaders: CBS, a division of Viacom, a diverse global media giant with the leading position in television production and distribution; America Online, the world's leading interactive services company; and SportsLine.com, a leading global Internet sports media company and publisher of CBS SportsLine.com.

"We are pleased with this new relationship that combines the excitement of
the NFL with equally exciting global partners," said NFL COMMISSIONER PAUL TAGLIABUE. "Our affiliation with CBS dates back to 1962 when CBS was the first network to televise all NFL games in a single season. We have also enjoyed working with other companies in AOL Time Warner's family of brands, including HBO and AOL. We also now will expand our association with SportsLine.com, which has partnered with us to produce the successful SUPERBOWL.COM and NFLEUROPE.COM sites. While we have worked with all three organizations on separate projects in the past, this new opportunity enables us to take advantage of the strengths of the combined partnership."

"As a broadcast partner of the NFL, it is very exciting to now be partners on the internet and various other new media initiatives," said SEAN McMANUS, President, CBS Sports. "The opportunity for growth in these areas is virtually unlimited."

"We're pleased to offer our members and visitors to our interactive brands enhanced access to one of the world's most exciting sports leagues as the Official ISP of the NFL," said BARRY SCHULER, Chairman and CEO of America Online, Inc. "Working with the NFL, CBS and SportsLine.com, we're going to bring AOL members and other NFL fans news, updates, game and player information and much more."

"This is an incredibly powerful partnership that will certainly change the landscape of the new media business as it relates to sports," said MICHAEL LEVY, founder and CEO of SportsLine.com Inc. "It is gratifying that the NFL, AOL and CBS have once again acknowledged SportsLine's proven ability to successfully deliver on all fronts production, promotion and sales in particular - and we are proud to be a major part of this industry shaping deal."
