ESPNET SportsZone could become champion of the online sports world. Kicked off in early April, SportsZone is the Web-based progeny of ESPN and Starwave (the firm of Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen).
Combining ESPN's sports-media content with Starwave's technology background - along with Allen's additional holdings, Ticketmaster and STATS Inc. - SportsZone offers up-to-the-minute sports coverage, including articles and photos, discussion threads, and libraries of sports statistics. In the future, look for audio and video clips, data-driven graphics that track the progress of a game in real time, and ticketing services. SportsZone will follow a magazine business model, relying on subscription and advertising revenues. It is expected to be available through the Microsoft Network, launching in August.
