KOZ.com's Community Building Tools to be Available to Belo

Interactive's Web Properties Network-Wide

KOZ.com, the leader in extending real-world communities onto the Internet, today announced that Belo Interactive, Inc., a subsidiary of Belo (NYSE: BLC), one of the nation's largest media companies, has expanded its contract. Under the new terms, KOZ.com's online community building tools will be available to an additional 22 newspaper and television station Web sites owned by Belo.

Belo Interactive will initially add KOZ.com's Community Publishing System(TM) (CPS), Family Shoebox(R), SoccerOnline and nonprofit services to three of its online properties, and Belo Interactive plans to offer the tools to the Web properties of an additional 19 newspaper and television station Web sites throughout 2000.

The expanded contract resulted from the success that The Dallas Morning News (www.community.dallasnews.com) has enjoyed since adding CPS to its site in September 1999. The community portion of dallasnews.com is composed of a comprehensive community calendar, free Web sites for over 1,000 nonprofit organizations, an online donation capability and nearly 70 interest areas that include animal welfare, pets, sports and recreation, health and fitness and youth organizations.

"With diverse holdings including television stations and newspapers as well as thriving Internet properties, Belo represents the future of media companies," said Michael E. Moran, president and CEO of KOZ.com. "Through The Dallas Morning News, Belo Interactive has seen first hand the benefits that KOZ.com's community building tools bring to media companies to enhance their online properties, thus extending their print and broadcast base onto the Internet. We have been privileged to work with The Dallas Morning News and are happy to expand our relationship to include other members of the Belo family."

"KOZ.com's Community Publishing System has proven to be an easily-integrated, user-friendly, multifunctional way for our media properties to enhance their local brands and leverage the relationships they have with their viewers, readers and advertisers," said Jim Moroney, president of Belo Interactive. "We look forward to incorporating KOZ.com's tools and services into additional properties."
