Westwood One website and MSNBC.com

[actioncentral]

WW1 has re-imaged its website. It currently features headlines from
MSNBC.com and a link to that page. Now, I know that NBC has an alliance
with Westwood and maybe this feature is rotated among Westwood's news services
(CNN and CBS); but I was surprised that CBSnews.com isn't highlighted, since
CBS Radio manages WW1 and CBS Corp. owns about 15% of the company. (I wonder if the MSNBC.com link was part of the renewal deal between NBC and Westwood.)

The MSNBC content on the website isn't any big deal. I've seen
it on many websites surfing the net...I think its pretty much free
for the taking...

I understand that. But one would think Westwood would highlight CBS
or at least rotate it among the news services that it handles: CBS, CNN
and MSNBC.

But MSNBC is the one supplying web content for nothing..and making
the effort to do so. I have yet to see CBS or CNN content available
as content to other websites, be it my own or WW1.

And even if they did - to rotate it - with various links and graphic
formats - is just not practical.
