LANSING, Mich.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 5, 2002

TalkingScores.com is offering an exciting new way for sports fans to keep track of the games. Users can now "listen" to all the scoring plays over the internet and through their PC speakers. The new interface is based on Macromedia, Inc.'s (Nasdaq:MACR) Flash 6 software. All users will need to do is visit http://www.TalkingScores.com and click "ListenNow!" on game day. They will then hear each score as it happens.

"I built the system because I couldn't pay attention to the game on TV since I was constantly clicking and refreshing the net to track my fantasy players," says Phil Threadgould, founder and President of TalkingScores, Inc. "By using our unique technology, people are freed from their PC during the game so they can sit back and enjoy it."

TalkingScores currently offers free NFL football updates but other sports are being planned. "I see great potential for this in any area where people desire instant sports news," says Dean Jackson, multi-sport broadcaster, whose voice you hear on the site. "Why should I sit and stare at my PC waiting for something to happen, when TalkingScores can just inform me when it does happen?"

The audio content of TalkingScores can also be embedded onto any web site. A webmaster can paste a few lines of code into a page on their site and instantly have the material available to all users.

Customized versions can be created upon request.
