     This news is as of 12/12/99.  Paul Allen has bought out ZDTV!  I think he now owns 66% of ZDTV.  Before he owned ZDTV he had owned 33% of ZDTV.  Leo Laporte thinks the new ownership is a good thing for ZDTV.  ZDTV's news channel will still be shared with ZD despite the buyout but the name ZDTV News has been changed to ZD Network News (ZDNN).

    This news is as of 10/18/99 . This page contains news on my ZDTV website and on ZDTV. Web Cam Week III just got over. ZDTV was giving away 3Com Home Connect Net cams. The whole week all the shows had net cam only calls. Here's the latest news from my website: In early October I submitted the site to the ZDTV Fan Web Ring. On October 13th I got an e-mail saying my site had been admitted. So, I'd like to thank the ZDTV Fan Web Ring for letting my site be a part of it. Other news on my ZDTV page: I have re-done the ZDTV home page here. I also revamped The Screen Savers page. I hope to add more pages devoted to individual shows.
