NEWS RELEASE

NEXTLEVEL.COM LAUNCHES WORLD'S FIRST
'NEXT GENERATION' CYBER RADIO STATION

Las Vegas, Nevada, September 23, 1999 -- NextLevel.com is pleased to announce the official launch of Surfstereo (www.Surfstereo.com), the world's first truly interactive cyber radio station.

The success of this milestone development will be underscored by the involvement of two North American broadcasting powerhouses, the Canadian-based Shaw Communications Inc. and Lotus Broadcasting Corporation. Lotus owns 130 high-ratings radio stations throughout the United States.

Surfstereo's interactive nature is especially unique and compelling, particularly compared to the sterile formats of other virtual radio stations. Coming soon, there will be live on-air DJs for listeners to interact with via e-mail or the 'chat room' feature.

Additionally, this next generation cyber station is expected to attract innumerable new visitors with such upcoming features as streaming audio and video of live concerts, online interviews with major recording artists and entertainment industry personalities, as well as news segments and music & entertainment industry chat shows. Furthermore, there will be 'real time' online contests for free concert tickets, cash prizes and so forth.

Indeed, Surfstereo already offers a multitude of music formats that will be available around-the-clock. Moreover, most virtual radio stations subject their listeners to repetitive preprogrammed playlists. In stark contrast, Surfstereo will instead allow listeners to customize their listening experience to hear the specific songs that they want to hear -- and whenever they want to hear them.

You can visit the definitive radio station for the new millennium at www.Surfstereo.com.
