"The Price is Right," "Homicide: Life on the Street," "The New Explorers" and "The McLaughlin Group" now interactive on Interactive Network; new additions increase variety of programming for subscribers.

SAN JOSE, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 16, 1994--Interactive Network (IN) (NASDAQ:INNN) announced that the company has signed agreements to make "The McLaughlin Group," "The New Explorers," "The Price is Right" and Emmy award-winning "Homicide: Life on the Street" interactive. These four new interactive programs will be added to IN's more than 40 separate television-related interactive games. As previously announced, starting this month IN began making NBC's top-rated daytime soap opera, "Days of Our Lives," a play-along event for subscribers.

Cooperative agreements for these programs have been reached with Oliver Productions, Inc. for "The McLaughlin Group;" WTTW in Chicago for "The New Explorers;" Mark Goodson Productions, L.P. for "The Price is Right;" NBC Productions for "Homicide: Life on the Street;" and Sony Pictures Entertainment's Columbia TriStar Television for "Days of Our Lives" with play-along software applications developed and now available to subscribers.

The interactive version of each of the shows allows subscribers to become active participants in the program rather than passive viewers. By simply pressing keys on their control unit, subscribers will try and get into the minds of the panelists during "The McLaughlin Group;" explore the discoveries of scientists and their adventures during "The New Explorers;" enjoy one of America's most loved game shows, "The Price is Right;" become a part of the action during "Homicide;" and predict the exciting plot twists for the characters on "Days of Our Lives."

"COME ... ON ... DOWN." That's RIGHT! "The Price is Right" is now interactive. "The Price is Right" program has over 50 different price guessing games of which several are showcased on each program. IN has developed software applications for all 50. So, from the "Showcase Showdown" to the "Final Round," IN subscribers join Doug Davidson's or Bob Barker's contestants in making dollar predictions, "who will win" predictions and much more. IN will be making the CBS and syndicated versions interactive.

Edge of the seat debates and fist shaking often gets any viewer's juices boiling during the "most widely watched political talk show in Washington," "The McLaughlin Group." How well do you know the panelists? Throughout the program subscribers use their knowledge of the panelists by attributing quotes and predicting the outcome of John McLaughlin's decision on topics, earning points for accurate predictions. The IN McLaughlin Group software application places the debate in the subscribers' living room with a library of information on each topic discussed.

For "Homicide: Life on the Street," join the police force and become a part of the action while watching. Answer questions during pivotal moments in the program. Should a suspect be held for questioning or released? You are the detective predicting what will happen next.

Also, in their continued commitment to education, IN adds to their line-up "The New Explorers," an award-winning educational program aimed at high school-aged viewers. Former CBS newsman Bill Kurtis, creator and host of the show, profiles a scientist and their discovery during each episode. Subscribers are asked questions with clues to assist them in making accurate predictions. Players can review all the questions and answer them at their own pace until they are "locked out" right before the answer is revealed during the show. A special "Fast Facts" section of the interactive application will keep players up-to-date on the information revealed during the televised program.
