998.0. "Nightly Business Report - NBR" by 24146::COOK () Thu Apr 18 1996 17:52



I'm looking for a pointer, either web or 800 number, to Nightly Bussiness
Review (or is that report) that is aired on PBS.  They had an offer for
a tape a couple of weeks ago and I did not write down the number.  Any help
would be appreciated.

    the NBR as a menu item as part of their Personal Finance Heading.

Always coming through!  Thanks Wes.

I made several attempts on Alta Vista, but I either got 5000+ hits or 0.
I couldn't seem to find the right combination.

Thanks for the help!

	Other than E-mail, you don't!  AOL's primary business is not
	as an Internet provider, but as a self-contained service
	which they charge for to access the information itself.  They
	appear to have some pretty good marketing to provide exclusive
	access to some information like NBR, Tom Snyder, Entertainment
	Weekly, etc.  (vs. an Internet provider that's not charging you
	for the info you access, but for the connection to the network
	itself).

Just to close this out.  The number to order tapes from NBR is 800-535-5864.

Thanks for all the help!
