You have the scoop on that? > >Bob > >BobEller@AOL.com Private Channels is a separate company who is working not only with PLAY, the company formed by ex NewTek VP Paul Montgomery, and with Scala Inc and others. I met up with PLAY personnel: Mark Randall - VP of Sales Ken Turcotte - VP of Research Stephen Hartford - VP of Prod. Dev. and Kiki Stockhammer - whose biz card has no job description, heh at NAB and chatted with them for a while. They did have a press conf on Sunday but basically it only served to introduce themselves and their new company. They did not have any product announcements yet. The only paper they had to had out was the same one page press release which Hartford posted to c.s.a.graphics last weekend. They did give me a PLAY button tho :) Their company logo is a VCR-style Play button "[>]" They're located in San Francisco. After I get home from NAB next week, I'll be scanning and uploading (to Portal and Aminet) a number of pictures I took at the show, including one of the entire PLAY gang named above.
